We got to talk Wolves Nuggets. Yeah, 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: we'll preview and predict the second round series between the 21 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: Thunder and Mas. But first we finally had another playoff Weggie. 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: It had been like twelve or thirteen days between Weggies. 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: But number sixty one in Orlando on Friday night and 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: it's Jalen Suggs sticking the three point weggie. 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: So nice to have. 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: Another wedgie here again. Sixty one total because we count 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 1: the playoffs and that is an all time record. Woo 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: feels good. I love seeing that's six there. 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's big time. Jalen stucks about that. 30 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: Oh, it was nice to hear Richard Jefferson very excited 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: about a weggie the call there on Friday night. 32 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: I thought referee Ben Taylor was excited because he gave 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: two thumbs up, but I guess he's just saying jump ball. 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: But he looked into it a very solid ye. All right, Well, 35 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: let's get into that series that happened on Friday night. 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: That was Game six, but we had a Game seven 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and the Cavaliers pulled off a historic comeback 38 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: in Game seventy. It was to beat the Magic one 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: ninety four. They advanced to the second round. You know, 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: we'll get to previewing the Cavaliers and Celtics on tomorrow show. 41 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: But the Magic led by as many as eighteen points 42 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: in the first half, but then the Calves and Donovan 43 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: Mitchell they turned things around and they got the twelve 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: point victory largest game seven comeback of the NBA's play 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: by play era. So going back to like what ninety 46 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: six ninety seven whenever they started counting that, but still 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: down team, you know, the building was getting a little 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: a little restless, like what's going on here? There could 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: be some big changes in store if we actually go 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: on to lose this. But they really turn it around 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: and got a somewhat dominant victory in Game seven. It 52 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: was a fun series, a weird series with the home 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: team winning every game. 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: Right, Well, yeah, the Calves did accomplish something, and I 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: think really what they accomplished was winning a series after 56 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: trading a lot for Donovan Mitchell, this being the first time, 57 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: this being accomplishment and year number two here and this 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: guy won it, let's be completely honest. 59 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you're right. 60 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, And we saw them all throughout the regular season 61 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: and they had that great run with him and three 62 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: point shooters around it. They've sort of lost that. And 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: a guy who wasn't a part of that was Darius Carlin, 64 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: who was injured and he was needed in this game. 65 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: So Donald Mitchell put his arm around him and talked 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: to him and helped get him a few shots in 67 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: not a lot because nobody was really helping him. They 68 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: got Sam Merrow off the bench, they said, hey, you, 69 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: we need you. He hit a couple threes, took some charges. 70 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: Isaacaccorro also did a couple nice drives, took charges. Also 71 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: helped out on Paala Bunkara, who was besides Donavan Mitchell 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: awesome in this game in the first half. I thought 73 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: Isaac Carrol did a good job just tiring him out 74 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: in the third quarter. That's his entire job. And so 75 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: they got it done just by committee, strictly by committee. 76 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: But Mitchell really. 77 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it was the guy. Mitchell scored fifty in 78 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: the game six loss, and then he falls it up 79 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: with thirty nine here in game seven, seventeen of them 80 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: coming in the third quarter when they really made their run. 81 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: Obviously got back into the game, then took control. He 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: outscored them Donov Mitchell did in the third quarter by himself, 83 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: seventeen to fifteen. Yeah, thirty three to fifteen for the 84 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: team overall. 85 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: The most into six to seven combination of games, the 86 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: most besides Alan Iverson right, those were the only ones. 87 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: One yes, ninety points in the game six and seven, 88 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: and Mitchell, I mean it's pretty impressive. And I mean again, yeah, 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: Sam Meryl helped out. I thought Kris Lavert helped out 90 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: in the first half a little bit. Then you had 91 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: Strus finally hitting some three pointers in the third quarter. 92 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: But for the most part, TK it was Donovan Mitchell exactly. 93 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: He was half Dwayne Wade, half Greg Jennings. He was 94 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 4: driving to the hole the entirety of the second half, 95 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: and he put the team on his back, hop alongside me, 96 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 4: We're gonna go and win. Darius Garland was kind of 97 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: the epitome of the Calves in this game. First half 98 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 4: Scarius Garland, second half Darius Starland, if you will. First 99 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: half two points, zero assists, two turnovers, went one for six. 100 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: Then he scored ten points in the fourth quarter, zero turnovers, 101 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 4: three assists, three steals. Hit a big shot as well. 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: But it was really the Caves defense. I think that 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: one on this the Caves defense at Donovan Mitchell just 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 4: ping ponging off people inside. Orlando went seven for sixteen 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 4: in the first half from three point three of fifteen 106 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: in the second half. They just could not score. If 107 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 4: it wasn't Paula Bancaro, Franz Wagner won for fifteen in 108 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: the game, Jalen Suggs two for thirteen in the game. 109 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 4: They just look like young guys out there playing in 110 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: their first playoff series, playing in their first game seven. 111 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 4: They cut to Paolo like boxing out on the free 112 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: throw line. You've never seen a guy look more exhausted. 113 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: His cheeks were puffing out on every exhale. He wasn't 114 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: playing the trumpet. Yeah, but he carried the team a 115 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 4: lot in the first half. He was basically just getting 116 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: to the free throw line. Didn't shoot the ball all 117 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 4: that well, but Orlando had no offense once the Calves 118 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 4: actually started scoring. 119 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and kudos to Acoro for retiring Bencerrat a little bit, 120 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: because if he didn't, Bankero could have matched Mitchell, who 121 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: was trying as hard as he possibly could. But even 122 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: his knees don't look incredibly right. He doesn't look totally Dono. 123 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: Mitge doesn't look like the guy who looked like it 124 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: all player at times, and he was able to get 125 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 2: enough of the line. He went to the line seventeen 126 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: times to get this done. But you mentioned that the 127 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: magic looked a little young in the playoffs. Just looked 128 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: a little like the price of the lights were a 129 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: little too bright. It's totally true. And that's what the 130 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: Cavs asked for. They wanted the four or five seed 131 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: to see, to see this magic team against them. 132 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why it would have been really bad if 133 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: they had lost. Yes, when they were down eighteen, it 134 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 1: looked like they might get blown out into Game seven 135 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: at home to a team that they wanted, a matchup 136 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: that they literally planned on, you know, you know, sort 137 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: of jockey in the system there or rejigging the system. 138 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: But they pulled it out. I mean it was because 139 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: of Mitchell, You're right. And look, Franz, Wagner and Jalen 140 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: Sucks combined three for twenty eight. Let's talk about some 141 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean Franz especially one of fifteen. That's a six 142 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: point seven percent field goal percentage, the worst such figure 143 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: in NBA history in a game seven by a player 144 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: who attempted at least fifteen shots. This is funny. From statudes. 145 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: The previous record low of ten percent from the field 146 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: held by Bob Coozy be Cruz. Bobcusey went two for 147 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: twenty from the field in Game seven of the nineteen 148 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: fifty seven NBA Finals when that one sure, I don't know, 149 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: I didn't check, but now it goes to Franz. Unfortunately 150 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: in a Game seven he was bad, and like Franz 151 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: was good in the wins and sort of bad in 152 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: the losses, and you know, you start questioning, is he 153 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: can he be a number two guy alongside Powell? Is 154 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: he going to be better suited as a three or four? 155 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: Would they do something crazy, like, you know, try and 156 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: move him and get more of a star player. Those 157 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: are questions or Landa will have this offseason. But he 158 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: was bad. 159 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, the off season looks incredibly interesting because they haven't 160 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: paid a lot of guys quite yet, so there's not 161 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: a lot of salary on the books. I see our guys, 162 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: Jake LaRue, Josh Robbins breaking it down on the Athletic 163 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: this morning because it is interesting to see what they do. 164 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: It was good to see their bench produce a little 165 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: bit in Game seven here, Folts especially and Nice. 166 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: It was good Cole, Anthony and Fulton the first half 167 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: when they were building the lead were contributing yes, and 168 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times in the stories they were doing nothing. 169 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: I remember early in the season we were or series, 170 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: We were like, I don't know sure if these guys 171 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: can play, but they helped. 172 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah they did. Yeah, who is going to replace Franz 173 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: Wagner as the number two guy if they can do that, 174 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: because it does look like they have a backup point 175 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: guard Mark hel Foltz, probably, But yeah, the Cavs asked 176 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: for this because they had their first moment on the 177 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: stage last year with Donovan Mitchell and it obviously did 178 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: not go well against the New York Necks, and it went 179 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: terribly well or terribly poorly. So I do think looking forward, 180 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: I don't really consider them much of a threat to 181 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics in Round two. Will obviously preview that. 182 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: But going into next season, they got to figure it 183 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: out him and Garland and Mobili because that part they 184 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: didn't do that altogether this season. I mean, it really 185 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: was while Mobilei and Garland were hurt that Mitchell found 186 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: out I'm a freaking superstar. Let's get four guys around me, 187 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: and that was awesome. Then he gets hurt and he 188 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: still doesn't look exactly like himself. But that's what they 189 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: have to go into next year and figure out because 190 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: Mobile contributed ten blocks in these last two games. Five 191 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: blocks in this game. He was awesome on that end, 192 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 2: was nice here there. Yeah, but they have to figure 193 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: out is he a five on this team. Jared Allen 194 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: obviously is the five and may play against Boston, but 195 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: he was sitting out in this game, and he didn't 196 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: get up during one celebration because he's injured and he 197 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: can't get up. He's literally sitting on the bench the 198 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: entire time. It is interesting to see what that whole 199 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: makeup is going into next season. 200 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 4: Five blocks though for Mobile, sixteen rebounds. He looked like 201 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 4: a center in this game against the Magic team that's 202 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 4: actually got some big guys on it. So who knows 203 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 4: what they decided to do going forward, but that would 204 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 4: be encouraging to me, like the fact that he could 205 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: hold up in a playoff series as the only big 206 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: guy against a team with big guys. Maybe they look 207 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 4: to move Jared Allen and get some more wing help 208 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 4: or something like that. 209 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 2: So good and yeah, so good at just being a 210 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: threat on every shot that the Magic were taking, like 211 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 2: he was out there defending everything. And he looks more like. 212 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: A five in watching this game. Seven or even this series, 213 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: and maybe the answer is it doesn't matter. But were 214 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: you sort of hoping that Donovan Mitchell and the Calves 215 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: would win the series to put up a fight against 216 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: the Celtics or like this scrappy, obviously defensive oriented Magic team, 217 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: did you have a preference on just like, oh, that 218 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: will maybe be more entertaining second round series. 219 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: Now, I was hoping that they would find a way 220 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 4: to be able to combine these two teams. 221 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Because then they might have a chance. 222 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 4: If you had Donovan Mitchell to the Magic, they could 223 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 4: maybe take two games off the set. 224 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, what do you think. 225 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: I definitely wanted to see them Magic, just because they 226 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: are a little different because they're big against the Celtics team, 227 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: while the Calves, if they're going to try and when 228 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 2: they kind of have to play Calves ball, we're all 229 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 2: shooting threes. 230 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, that's also Celtics ball. 231 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, they're playing the same game and that 232 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: ain't gonna work. 233 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's no way the Magic would ever be 234 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 4: able to keep pace with the Celtics. I think Cleveland 235 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: has a better shot with the. 236 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: Way Donovan Mitchell just played over the last two games. 237 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: I agree with that. You know, you could see him 238 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: stealing a game. We've seen Mextrus, you know, catch fire 239 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: against the Celtics before when he was you know, on. 240 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 4: The way, they're going to dust them off. 241 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: So we're yeah, yeah, I said it. 242 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 4: I slipped it in there. 243 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: Streus had eleven of his thirteen in the third quarter. 244 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: Those threes must have felt good to him because this 245 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: guy had not been able to really hit one. He 246 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: came into Game seven shooting twenty eight percent from three 247 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: in the series. He had only hit a combine three 248 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: three pointers in the three road losses. So to have 249 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: that little stretch there in the third quarter, you felt 250 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: like the building too, was like, oh, oh my god, somebody, 251 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: finally that is a three point shooter hitting a three 252 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: and maybe helping out Donovan Mitchell here. So he was 253 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: good on Sunday. He was a plus ten, three for 254 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: six from distance. And they're gonna need, of course, all 255 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: of that. They're gonna need those good, careless charislovert minutes 256 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: to put up any fight against obviously a good Celtics team, 257 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: though they don't have Porzingis, so maybe it makes it 258 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: a little more intriguing. I can't wait to see who 259 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: they throw on Mitchell to try and slow down. Will 260 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: it just be one of the bigs in like a 261 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: Tatum or Jalen Brown? Will it be Derek White? Obviously 262 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: they have a million options we have, Yeah, and Drew 263 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: Holiday could get minutes on them. So Donovan Mitchell get 264 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: ready here for a second round. Any other thoughts on 265 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: on this game or this team be it Cleveland Orlando here? 266 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 4: No, No, series still hasn't started. 267 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, rare, very rare. 268 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 4: Home team wins every game, series never starts. 269 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: It's a good point. 270 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 4: So game off runt of back game eight exactly. 271 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: Game eight in Orlando later this week. First playoff series 272 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: win for Cleveland without Lebron James since nineteen ninety three. Wow, 273 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: a long time since this team, this organization has won 274 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: without Lebron James in uniform ninety three. That's incredible. That's 275 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: thirty years ago. 276 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 2: Yeah. 277 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 4: Plus, what do you think led the Cleveland Cavaliers in 278 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: scoring in nineteen ninety three? 279 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: Mark Price? 280 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: No, you can get it. 281 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: Brad Geordy, Yeah, baby, Big Brad wasn't sure if he 282 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: was playing. 283 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 4: They had og Larry Nance running around as well. 284 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: It's been a while. 285 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: A guy named Mike Sanders played. 286 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: And just before we pivot off this Orlando you talked 287 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: about getting like aviously someone that could help score and 288 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of tacoling. Okay, yeah, sure, maybe 289 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: Mitchell would be crazy. There's a lot of Devin Booker rumors. 290 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: If you know Phoenix wants to pivot off of him, 291 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: Is there anyone else that you think, Yeah, they should 292 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: use that cap space and get aggressive to sign a 293 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: score a shooter. 294 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: They should be in the Paul George market, they should 295 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: be in the Clay Thompson market. But most likely they're 296 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 4: getting my guy like Malik Monk, and he would be 297 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 4: super helpful for this team. I don't necessarily know if 298 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: you want him as your starting point guard handling the ball, 299 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 4: but if they pay him, like they would have to 300 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 4: pay him to sign him away from Sacramento, he probably 301 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 4: would be Does that take away from Paulo Bonkaro Maybe 302 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: a little bit, but he could probably use a little 303 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: less on his plate. 304 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, those are two guys. If if Jalen Suggs remains 305 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 2: the primary ball handler while Malik Monk is the guy 306 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: who just shoots every single time, maybe that works. But 307 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: that would be a great acquisition. Obviously, the Klay Thompson 308 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: thing is extremely interesting because I think it makes sense. 309 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: If he's there, why not he literally shoot up down 310 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: the floor every single time. 311 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: No Celtics did win that game seven in nineteen fifty seven, though. 312 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: Oh wow, So that's why it Hawks. So that's why 313 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: it's never talked about. Bob Coosey. Yeah, Bob two. 314 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 4: Went two for twenty but nineteen and thirty two for 315 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 4: Bill Russell and a modest thirty seven and twenty three 316 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 4: for Tom Heinsen. 317 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: Wow, Tommy Heinesen, if your guard. 318 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 4: Is missing eighteen times, there's a lot of rebounds to 319 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 4: go around. 320 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. All right, shout out to Bill 321 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: Russell and Tommy Heinsen, Tommy Poyson, Tommy, point to you 322 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: for that stat there. Okay, let's talk about Game one 323 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: of the second round series between the Wolves and Nuggets. 324 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: This was on Saturday. This was awesome. Anthony Edwards scores 325 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: twenty five of his game high forty three points in 326 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: the first half as the Wolves beat the Nuggets. One 327 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: was six ninety nine. So this series has officially started. 328 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: We got the road team winning in Game one. I 329 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: start it was Ant's second forty point performance of the playoffs. 330 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: So Game two is tonight in Denver. But Trey, what 331 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: do you think of this one? 332 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: I said on Friday that if the Timberwolves are going 333 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 4: to win this series, Anthony Edwards needs to be the 334 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 4: best player. And guess what. He was the best player 335 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 4: in Game one. There was no stopping and the Edwards 336 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 4: in this when he scored eleven in that huge eighteen 337 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: to four run where you're like, whoa, whoa, watch out, 338 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 4: the Timberwolves are here to play, finished with forty three 339 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 4: and his last shot to put the Timberwolves up eleven, 340 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 4: that was Michael Jordan. 341 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: He just took. 342 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: KCP down in the post bump bump, fade away over 343 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: the top. He had a couple of those in the 344 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 4: fourth quarter and a lot of the reason that they 345 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: were able to pull this out in the fourth quarter 346 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: of the X factor, nos Reed came in scored ten 347 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 4: straight after having a pretty poor first half. You had 348 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: to be nervous as a Timberwolves fan wh Karl Anthony 349 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: Towns went out with that fifth folly, You're like, come on, bro, 350 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 4: this is exactly what we were not hoping for. But 351 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: nos Reed caught fire and just couldn't miss. He had 352 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 4: a banked in. He even wasn't like celebrating through his hands. 353 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 4: I'm like, hey, it happens. Rudy Gobar made a bank 354 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: shot in the lane as well. There was some great 355 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 4: shot making, I thought from the Timberwolves. But this is 356 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 4: one of the rare times we've seen Nicola Jokic look flustered, 357 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: look tired, and looked not totally sure of where the 358 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 4: shots were gonna be. That play that Rudy Gobert made 359 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 4: breaking up the Alleu pullate in the fourth quarter where 360 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 4: he was trying to go over the top to Aaron 361 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: Gordon was like, whoa, Yeah, this is the exact game 362 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: plan that the Timberwolves were hoping to pull off here. 363 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 4: So they got their coach there. They sat him right 364 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 4: next to the scorers table, very protected, Mike and NORII 365 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: working the sidelines. The Timberwolves were very prepared, I thought 366 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: for this game one. They had a lot of time 367 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 4: after sweeping the Suns. It looked like it and they 368 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: looked awesome. So we got ourselves a series right away. Yep, 369 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: this is exciting. 370 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised we didn't start with this one. This 371 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: is a ridiculous start for the Timberwolves to be up 372 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: one nothing on the Champs here, and the Champs are 373 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: angry at themselves. I'm sure Rudy gobert A getting an 374 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: offensive rebound a few minutes left in this game. Okay, 375 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: they're angry about that for sure, and nazried able to 376 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: bank home with three. They're mad about stuff. But this 377 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: was a script written for a new superstar in this game. 378 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: The way he came out to Antheatores came out in 379 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: this game was eighteen to four. And then had to 380 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: huff a little bit on the bench, had to take 381 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: a seat, and the bench comes in and NOAs reed 382 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: and missus a layo. So what does the superstar do? 383 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: Puts his arm around nos Reid and tells him you 384 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: gotta relax, that's why you missed that layup. And then 385 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: in the third quarter, his number two, Karl Anthony Towns 386 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: was awesome in that third quarter, just taking upon himself. 387 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 2: But he does get that fifth foul because he is 388 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: guarding Jokic for most of this game, that's his job. 389 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: So he sits down and nos Reid all of a 390 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: sudden comes out lights it up, and he did he 391 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: did so much. You know, the putback dunk for him, 392 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: the drive from the corner, he looked so good. And 393 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 2: then then Anthony Edwards, excuse me, is able to just 394 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: seal it with KCP on him. He sees Karl Anthony 395 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: Town's right beside him, and he says, get the heck 396 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: out of here, I don't want to double come and 397 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 2: go to the other side, and just takes KCP down 398 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 2: to the post and cashes and wins it. I mean, 399 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: that is he He called for his team to be 400 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 2: better in that game. He was amazing. They were amazing. 401 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: So this is this is great for them. Obviously the 402 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: Nuggets are kicking themselves, but they just damn good. Everything 403 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 2: looks good. 404 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, this should be an incredible series. You know. Obviously 405 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: Game two goes down tonight. We'll see what happens. The 406 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: Wolf shot seventy one point one percent from the floor 407 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: in the second half, which seems like mind boggling against 408 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: obviously a talented Nuggets defense. But you guys said it. 409 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: You went through everything there. It was at the first half. 410 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, especially for the jump he hit a three 411 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: right away. You could tell he's like, oh my god, 412 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: he bouncy. He feels great get into his spots anytime 413 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson was on him. That was a joke. I'm 414 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: not sure we can see too much more of that. Obviously, 415 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: Cacp's a good defender, but he felt comfortable. Aaron Gordon 416 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: got matched up onto him sort of late there. That 417 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: was another one where he danced on him and hit 418 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: a jumper. And then you had Cat in the third, 419 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: and then it was Nasri tie in the fourth, and 420 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: the game plan against Yo Kich tk you started with 421 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: that sort of as well as you can do against 422 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: one of the best players in the world. The idea 423 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: of like, okay, like we'll use Cat because then we 424 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 1: have Rudy and we got Nasri when he comes in, 425 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: so we've got the big still and how they can 426 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: sort of play, you know, Rudy can sort of break 427 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: up those passes that Yo Kitch one to throw those 428 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: all oops. He's great, He's quick enough just being a 429 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: seven footer. It was perfect because like they want him 430 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: to score to Yokic, so they're trying to make Yokic 431 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: like we just want to take away passing, and we 432 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: always get into this like, well, what's the best way 433 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: to play Jokich? Is it take away scoring or try 434 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: and take away as all as playmaking, We've always usually said, 435 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: I think it's make him shoot a lot, try and 436 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: make him score. It's gonna tie him out a little 437 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: bit more and it takes away the other guys flow 438 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: for the game. 439 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: He took twenty five shots in game one. Yoki doesn't 440 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 4: want to want to do that. He definitely doesn't want 441 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 4: to take nine three pointers, which is a very high 442 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 4: number for him, but the paint has packs kind of 443 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: hard to work inside. And then seven turnovers I thought 444 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 4: was pretty surprising from Jokic as well. I think to 445 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 4: get him on tracked in game two, we should see 446 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 4: a little bit more of Jokic. Aaron Gordon picking rolls. 447 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 4: They got an alleyupe off that in the third quarter, 448 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 4: because then you've got both Gobert and Towns defending in space, 449 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 4: which is not either of their strengths, and it leaves 450 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 4: nobody at the rim and everybody else out on the perimeter. 451 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 4: Is a shooter. Aaron Gordon. He doesn't have a size 452 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 4: over go Beart or talents. He has a quickness advantage 453 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 4: over both of them, and he is a good playmaker, 454 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: so I would like to see him being a screener 455 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 4: and being a ball handler for Yokchin pick and roll. 456 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is interesting just moving Rudy away from Aaron 457 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: Gordon as much as possible because that's where that steel 458 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: came from. And with three minutes left. That being said, 459 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: Jamal Murray would have to come out of those pick 460 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: and rolls. That's for sure. 461 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 4: It's fine. He didn't do much. 462 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: He was lacking. Yeah, but then he probably does even less. 463 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: I imagine if he doesn't participate in a pick and 464 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: a role. I mean, he didn't score in the first half, 465 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: no zero points. He came alive in the second half. 466 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: That's the story of Jamal Murray through this playoffs, though 467 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: he has been slow to start. But yeah, Rudy is 468 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: obviously drawn up to be by the rim as much 469 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 2: as possible. He's the Aaron Gordon stopper, and nobody really 470 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: tries that. I mean, that's that's definitely the recipe for them, 471 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: that that sort of makes sense. That's what we're talking 472 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: about in our preview, that he has to be he 473 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 2: has to be there. That's what they tried, They've tried 474 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 2: it before. That's what Chris Finch is doing. That's why 475 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: Tim Connolly winning got this guy. They have just as 476 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: many bigs just to guard the rim as possible. 477 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Anthony Edwards, I thought, and Mike and Mike Conley, 478 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: they did a good job of doing guard guard, pick 479 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: and rolls too. To try and get Jamal Murray in 480 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: playing defense. I mean, he's he's lingering here with this 481 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: injured calf. There's no doubt he's not a lockdown defender 482 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: as it is. That was smart as well, like the Wolves, 483 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: like game plan was like check check, check, check check. 484 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: Like everything they wanted to went perfectly. They could built 485 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: the big lead, you knew the Nuggets were gonna come back, 486 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: and then obviously they took care of business in the 487 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: second half. I can't wait for game two. Series already 488 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: feels like, oh my god, this could be like this 489 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: maybe is the Western Conference Finals. Really, I mean that's 490 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, no offense to the thunder and Mavericks, but 491 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: it feels like it could be that this could be 492 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: the champion we're looking at in this series. And just like, 493 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: oh my god, the talent and that idea, like, hey, look, 494 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: we've all agreed that Jokic is the best player in 495 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: the world, has been for a couple of years here, 496 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: it feels like, obviously he's a Frame five Finals MVP, 497 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: is gonna win another MVP. But it's like, hold on, 498 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: is Anthony Edwards actually gonna be the best player in 499 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: this series? He was in Game one and he has 500 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: been for the last couple of games here now too, 501 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: where I'm almost like, it felt like after this Game one, 502 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: you listen to the other podcast, you read a bunch 503 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: of stuff, You're like, oh my god. People are like, 504 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: it's only one game. But people are like, well it's over. 505 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: They figure them out. They're the perfect matchup to TV 506 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: on Denver. I'm not thinking that, and we'll see what 507 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: happens here tonight. But it doesn't feel that way that 508 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: people are like, he's. 509 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 4: The one, yeah being prisoner at the moment. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, 510 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 4: But it was exciting to watch and the guy just 511 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 4: keeps scoring forty every night and it looks like nobody 512 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 4: can stop him, and there's really nobody on the Nuggets 513 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: that can give him a bunch of trouble. I think 514 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: they should have used Aaron Gordon on him more often. 515 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 4: I would rather ant take jumpers rather than getting it. Yeah, 516 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 4: because you're right, he did completely dance on him, hit 517 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 4: an awesome fade away, but okay along too. I can 518 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: live with that. 519 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. They tried Justin Holiday off the bench in no way. 520 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you might as well go Watson at 521 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: that point. 522 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: That's I think you can't use bench guys on him. 523 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 524 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Justin Holiday. Reggie. No, Reggie, not Reggie Jackson. 525 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: I mean he's too small. Although I do want to 526 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 2: get to our listen. Justin Holiday is all right, he 527 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 2: was all right in that situation, but Reggi Jackson was 528 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: worse than Anthony. Anthony Edwards gave him the staedout and 529 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: got a technical for it, although they rescinded that they 530 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: took it back. So in our instigator draft, I lose 531 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 2: a point. Oh wow, I shouldn't. I shouldn't get that 532 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: point because initially I got a point, but they took 533 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: it back because you heard Reggie and Jamal Crawford on 534 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: the call saying, why are you giving a guy a 535 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: technical for staring at another man after scoring on him? 536 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: It really didn't make any sense. You can let let 537 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: him stare. It's the freaking playoffs. That was a nice basket. 538 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: I mean he was scoring on everybody. Yeah, Justin Holliday 539 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: took Peyton Wall and it's Watson's minutes, mostly because they 540 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 2: don't trust Payton Watson to shoot right now, I think 541 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: that's the thing. But Justin Holiday and Peyton Watson they're 542 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 2: in plus nineteteen and plus fifteen off the bench. I mean, 543 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: those guys were fair. But Mike Malone is angry at 544 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 2: his team the way they started and the way they finished. 545 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: And yeah, they just let Nikola Jokic shoot threes. They 546 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 2: left him open. He shouldn't obviously have to shoot that 547 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: many threes. But I think you'll see a lot more 548 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 2: picks off the ball for Michael Porter Junior to start 549 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: shooting those threes because Joki can find anybody, and so 550 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: he shouldn't just be wide open just hanging out there. 551 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: And he didn't want to, He really didn't want to 552 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 2: shoot those threes, but they just left him so open. 553 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, they'll obviously change things up. You've got a 554 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: lot of faith in them to change things up, because. 555 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I mean, I just think the prisoner 556 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: of the moment, it feels like, Okay, Anthony Edwards look 557 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: I will like, oh my god, Yeah, he looks like 558 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. He looks like Michael Jordan. We've said it 559 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: a million times already, and maybe he just keeps running 560 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: this incredible heater that he's on. But this is the 561 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: defending champs, this is a well coached team. You've got talent. 562 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: It's like Jamal Murray has to be better from the jump. 563 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna make changes on how they play them. And 564 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards, as great as he's been at times in 565 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: these couple postseasons over the last couple of years, he 566 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: will have games where the shot isn't falling, and you're right, Tray, 567 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: make him shoot. There will be time where it's not 568 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: falling and he's gonna have a five for eighteen type 569 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: game and you're gonna live with that. Of course, then 570 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: this guy going off for thirteen points in the first 571 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: six minutes of the game and feeling real comfortable, and 572 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: then that one where he just like near the end 573 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: of the game. This was the shocking part. It was 574 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 1: weird to see a team like that still had more 575 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: left left in the tank than Denver. In the altitude 576 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: like he was. He took that ball full court, just screamed. 577 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: I think they've thought about fouling and all that, but 578 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: they were like, I don't think they were going to 579 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: down five. I think was a situation with like forty 580 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: seconds ago and just screamed by everybody. 581 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 4: And like they just ended out not doing anything. 582 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: Yeah right, go for it. Man. 583 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: It was weird to see the Wolves tucker out the Nuggets. Yeah, 584 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 4: at home in Denver, But that's exactly what the game 585 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 4: plan was. Like Yokic was getting picked up full court, 586 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 4: Murray was getting picked up full court. They were forcing 587 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 4: those guys to defend in the play rolls yep, all night. 588 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 4: It actually worked out, tiring him out, to the fact 589 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 4: that Nikole Yolkich after the game is like, it'd be 590 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 4: great if we could clone me so that we can 591 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 4: bring in a fresh met when they bring in. 592 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 2: Their next pick. 593 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right, yeah. 594 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 4: I mean he does have those two giant brothers, you know, 595 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 4: interesting brothers because there ain't no other big guy who's 596 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: playing for the Nuggets. 597 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: Well I know and Jordan I know. 598 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think so. Tim. 599 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: I keep asking questions about this movie series, but are 600 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: the minions like scientists? Can they clone them? I think 601 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: what do they do? 602 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 4: They work in the lab? Okay, yeah, yeah, he's got a. 603 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: He's got an evil doctor who like makes him stuff. 604 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: I forget about. 605 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: Okay, well then yeah contact maybe they yeah, forget tonight 606 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: at ten o'clock there on. 607 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 2: Grews bro does a lot. 608 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: What's his name? 609 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: His brother is literally his brothers brother. Yeah. 610 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: Oh he's the scientist. 611 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Grew's the scientist. Nobody knows they're the same, they're 612 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: the same. Person has a twin of some sort. Grew 613 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 2: has a twin of some sort. Anyway, I think there's 614 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: a little, uh lack of faith in Anthony Edwards though, 615 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: from you, from anybody like, you can't just leave them 616 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: open to shoot. 617 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 4: No, no, you saying that. 618 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: Well shoot rather than dribble. 619 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: And he's been come off going to the lane. Don't 620 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 4: let him get layups, don't let him go full court 621 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 4: shoot a lefty lamp with the game on the line. 622 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he has been awesome in every game. This 623 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 2: this not down not taking. That's because they only shot 624 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: twelve twelve shots. They got the ball out of his hands. 625 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: They doubled. They doubled. It also effective, Well, that's that's 626 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 2: the only thinking about the only way to do it 627 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: really is if you want to get the ball out 628 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 2: of his hands, you're doubling. 629 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: And he's made the right pass. 630 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, again, the other guys, Let's make go Baron McDaniels 631 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 4: beat us, right, Let's make Aunt beat us with jumpers. 632 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 4: Let's not let him drive to the hoop and isolate 633 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: on Mike or isolate on Jamal Murray. The entire he 634 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 4: just never. 635 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: Felt uncomfortable at all in that game one. And that's 636 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: and yeah, and maybe nobody can slow him, is what 637 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: we're getting out. 638 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: Here, because Yeah, he's been on fire every single game. 639 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: Get the ball out of his hands. 640 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: Which is scary to say about a guy that might 641 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: be the most confident player in the NBA. But he's 642 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,239 Speaker 1: gaining more confidence as this postseason goes on here and 643 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, oh yeah, we could win this, we 644 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: could beat the defending champ, we could win the whole thing. 645 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: It's starting to you know, this is why we're talking 646 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: about him like he's the next coming of m J 647 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: because he might be. He's only twenty two and he's 648 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: doing things, what back to back forty point games on 649 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: like Kobe's ever done that. Being that young in the postseason, 650 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: it's crazy. Any other thoughts on this one game two 651 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: tonight can't wait nothing. 652 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 4: Game two is huge. Obviously, you can't lose two at 653 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 4: home and expect to really win the series if you're Denver. 654 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 4: A lot of times, the way this goes is if 655 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: the home team loses game one, they bounce back big 656 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 4: time in game two. But if this one is tight, 657 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 4: I'd be even if Denver wins in a tight one 658 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 4: in game two, like you have to be so encouraged 659 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 4: as Minnesota having to split already, and then if you're 660 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 4: able to give them trouble again in game two, it 661 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 4: would make for a crazy Game three. Back in the 662 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 4: target center. 663 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: Oh my god, can't wait. All right, let's move on 664 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: to quickly to Friday night. Because we had Luca kicking 665 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: ass in the first half, we had Kyrie taking over 666 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: in the second half again, add it up to a 667 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: one to fourteen to one to one Game six win 668 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: for the Mavericks over the Clippers. They take the series 669 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: obviously four to two. They advance to the second round 670 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. We'll get in the matchup between the 671 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: Thunder and Mavericks, which starts to believe tomorrow night. But 672 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: the Clippers season comes to another disappointing end. I mean 673 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: going out here in the first round. No Kawhi here 674 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: for the last couple of games before we get the 675 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: thunder MAVs thotast. Did you have thoughts on Friday Night's 676 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: MAVs victory? 677 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: It was a dud. It wasn't very fun to watch 678 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Clippers here at home. Excuse me that 679 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: at home from a home game where they got bombed, 680 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: to go on the road and get bombed, that was disappointing. 681 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 2: It was a very disappointing end. Not much to talk 682 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: about in this game. I don't think. 683 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 4: I thought the Clippers looked really, really old in this one. 684 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 4: You don't see that with a Mavericks team that's like, 685 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 4: at least prior to the trade deadline, like not a 686 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 4: team that's going to run you off the court. And 687 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: they basically ran La off the court in this one. 688 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 4: Thirty four points on thirty four shots between James Harden 689 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 4: and Paul George. They want to combine two for sixteen 690 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 4: from the three point line. Impossible to win when you're 691 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 4: such a team that's built like the Clippers, to have 692 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 4: those guys shoot like that from three against a mass 693 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 4: team that was hot like Kyrie Irving was unstoppable in 694 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 4: the second half of this game. To me, like Norm 695 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 4: Powell was the most impressive Clipper in this game, the 696 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 4: guy who really seemed to like pissed that they were 697 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 4: losing in it and trying to get him back into 698 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 4: the game. And like, Norm Powell's good. He's had a 699 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 4: lot of great moments. But if he's your leader out there, 700 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 4: you're not going anywhere. And the Clippers didn't go anywhere. 701 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyrie had a great second half in Game six. 702 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: He also had great second halves throughout this entire series. 703 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: He averaged twenty points in the second halves of this series, 704 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: scoring shooting excuse me, sixty percent from the field and 705 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,239 Speaker 1: fifty three percent from three point range. And he had 706 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: that one to three in the corner. He had his 707 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: own bench like going nuts. House guy's doing witchcraft like 708 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: over here, like just the dribble package to believe that 709 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: was on Tucker. Yeah, you talk about being looking old. Yeah, 710 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: Tyler was trying things so they lose. You know, Kawhi 711 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: doesn't play in four of the six game games in 712 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: this series. It's the same old story. He's played in 713 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: four The Clippers last nineteen or twenty playoff teams or 714 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, you know, look, some people 715 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: got excited right rightfully. So when they won what twenty 716 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: six of thirty one games there in sort of December 717 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: and then early February, they had the league's third best 718 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: net rating, they had the best offense, and everybody's oh, 719 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: this is the Clippers. Here we go. And unfortunately some 720 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: people are like, well, if they're there, if they're all healthy, maybe, 721 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: but let's wait and see come April and May, because 722 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: they usually aren't and they weren't again with the quiet Interet. 723 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Steve Bomber must have been excited. He signed 724 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: Kawhi to an extension, and that is that huge question here, 725 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: So having two extension because he's playing in back to backs, 726 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: all of a sudden he's playing, he looks like a 727 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 2: new Kawhi Leonard and then he can't play in the postseason. 728 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: So that's really where if you're a Clippers fan, that's 729 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: where your excuse comes from. Our number one guy wasn't there, 730 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: so Paul George and James can Harden couldn't fall into 731 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 2: their roles properly. 732 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: That's right, four at times, but then couldn't for others. 733 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, if there were number two, number three is the 734 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: whole That's what their team was signed up for. So 735 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: he is Kawhi is the only guy really signed up 736 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 2: for next season other than Paul. George's got his player option, 737 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 2: can opt out. James Harden is a free agent. Russell Westbrook. 738 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: That was just a horrific series for him. He's still 739 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: working hard like he was Russell Westbrook, but yeah, struggling 740 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 2: to shoot the ball. And here we are, what is 741 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 2: this team going forward with? I mentioned all those four 742 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 2: names in the Big three in RUSS because they're strictly 743 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 2: old is the word. I mean, they're old. Yeah, yeah, 744 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: that's what they are. 745 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: All right, So it's always going to be an issue 746 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: of them staying healthy for majority of the season and 747 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: then obviously as the serious or the postseason comes around 748 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: the corner. Yeah, let's they'll probably lock those guys in. 749 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: Maybe George choice, Yeah. 750 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 4: I think he really has the choice because, like you're saying, 751 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: he's got a player option, could easily sign it, or 752 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 4: he could become a free agent. He would be the 753 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 4: number one free agent out there. You look at a 754 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 4: team like Philadelphia, they obviously want him, have a whole 755 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 4: bunch of cap space, So does Paul George want to 756 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 4: play with Joell Ebid who's always hurt come playoff time, 757 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 4: or Kawhi Leonard, who's always hurt in playoff time? 758 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 1: Right? 759 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 4: Your choice gets who also gets hurt a lot? Paul 760 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 4: George maybe should go to Orlando. They keep people pretty 761 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 4: healthy down there. 762 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: Jeez, wow, these old people. 763 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, So, I don't know it's gonna be down to 764 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 4: Paul George. Does he want to sign up for another 765 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 4: four years of question marks? Not knowing who's going to 766 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 4: be playing? Am I the number one guy tonight? Or 767 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 4: am I the number three guy tonight? We'll see. 768 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Harden average thirty and a half points per game 769 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: in the wins in this series, and then sixteen and 770 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: a half points per game in the losses. This is 771 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: also the James Harden story for the last Coup a 772 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: couple of couple of postseasons. He was brutal here in 773 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: Oh not brutal, he was bad in Game six. Oh yeah, 774 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: He's getting asked to do probably more than he should 775 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: be at this point, and that's the trickle down effect 776 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: of Kawhy not playing. So here there they're out again, 777 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: and they probably will it probably will be Paul George's decision. 778 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: It's obviously Kawhi and then I think Harden will likely 779 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: stay there, and I don't know, at some point next 780 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: regular season. I'm sure people convince themselves they look like, 781 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, actual championship contenders. Can they just time it right? 782 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: Just don't play Kawhi all season? 783 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not playing back to backs again. Yeah, it 784 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 4: was flying while it lasted this one year. Yeah, I 785 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 4: guess say with Joel Embiid, he's playing fifty five games 786 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 4: from here on right, right, right, You don't need to 787 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 4: be healthy in January. 788 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, So so long all NBA teams stuff like yeah, 789 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: and awards and stuff like that, maybe help your chances 790 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: to be healthy in the postseason. All right, well, let's 791 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: go from that game. Let's talk more about the Mavericks here. 792 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: Let's get into the thunder Mavericks. Uh. Okay, So he's 793 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: gonna host Dallas starting Tuesday night. Some news. I guess 794 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: Jason Kidds signed his contract extension here this morning, so 795 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: he will be the longtime coach of the Dallas Mavericks. 796 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: And unfortunately for Dallas fans, mass center Maxi Kleiba has 797 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: a separated right shoulder and he's gonna be sidelined indefinitely, 798 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: so he's he's not gonna be miss He's gonna be 799 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: missing this series. And you know, if they pull off 800 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: the upset, potentially even the next series, it's gonna be 801 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: a while at least. What they're saying, what's one thing 802 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: to watch here in Thunder MAVs a one to five matchup? 803 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 2: Well, I guess if the play hard for their new 804 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: coach of the long term, Jason Kidd. That's interesting timing 805 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 2: that they do that, come play for this guy who's 806 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 2: gonna be there. That being said, keep it simple. The 807 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 2: way Luca comes out and plays against the guys who 808 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 2: guard him are going to be interested. It's loud Dort time. 809 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 2: I got to assume that loud Dort will be fighting 810 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: through every screen that Jason Kidd has there for Luca 811 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 2: to get open like he did last Seiars against the 812 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 2: Pelicans and what he did against Brandon Ingram. Now, Luca 813 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: look good obviously against the Clippers thirty nine and nine, 814 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 2: although he wasn't shooting the ball all that well forty 815 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 2: percent from the floor and just twenty four percent from 816 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 2: three shooting eleven threes, so he doesn't have a lot 817 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 2: of lyft. He never had a lot of lyft when 818 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: he shoots the jumpers, but it's even less now because 819 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 2: his knees aren't that right. We've talked about that multiple times. 820 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see if Dort can get into 821 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 2: him even a little bit more and reduce his scoring 822 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: even more because I don't know. Luca obviously isn't right. 823 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 2: That being said, he's still able to fight through everything, 824 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 2: and there's just gonna be a lot asked for him, 825 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 2: especially with Klebout, So just keeping it simple, the Luca 826 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 2: versus Dort is what I'm interested with because there's so 827 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 2: much reliant on him and Cry and then there's other 828 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 2: guys who've contributed scoring wise, but really it is those 829 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 2: two guys. Their offense relies on Luca. So can't wait. 830 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, because Luca and the MAVs like, okay, come bring 831 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: the pick and then we're gonna get Luca on who 832 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: we want and go from there. But Dort is one 833 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: of the rare guys in the NBA. He's like, no, 834 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: you're not. I'm going to fight through the screen and 835 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to stick to you as much as possible. 836 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: So absolutely, I can't wait to see how the MAVs 837 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: counter that. You know, whether Lucas starts going away from 838 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: the pick and stuff like that, and just how much 839 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,919 Speaker 1: can Dort get a guy like Luca in the Dortrich chamber. 840 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: It's one thing to do it against Ingram, who was 841 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 1: obviously limited. Now so is maybe Luca. But there are 842 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: two different beats here. No offensive brandon Ingram, but he's 843 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: not on Luca's level. But Dort's awesome. It's definitely a 844 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: fun matchup to watch because we know that's going to 845 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: be one of them TK. 846 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, one of them led the league in scoring and 847 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 4: the other led his team in scoring after the leading 848 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 4: scorer was hurt, right, So a bit of a difference, Yeah, 849 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 4: a bit of a difference. One of them is awesome. 850 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 4: Game one, though, I think is huge, just because it's 851 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 4: going to be a shock to the system for the Thunder. 852 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 4: They had a test in Game one against the Pelicans 853 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 4: and then after that easy. Yeah, it was an easy 854 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 4: series for them, so they've been resting getting ready for 855 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 4: whoever they're going to play four versus five here. Dallas, though, 856 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 4: compared to New Orleans, Dallas is better on both sides 857 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 4: of the ball. They're more experienced, they're more athletic, and 858 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 4: outside of Kaliba nasty fall on the shoulder, they're a 859 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 4: lot healthier. Like this Dallas team is going to be 860 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 4: a significant step up in competition for the Thunder. So 861 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 4: we'll see how they handle it as a young team 862 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 4: going forward in an actual playoff like Atmosphere because that 863 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 4: Pelican series, which is way too easy for the Thunder. 864 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 4: I'm actually more interested in Kyrie Irving because I think 865 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 4: he's got to be a big time scorer in this 866 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 4: one like he was in the first round against the Clippers. 867 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 4: Against the Thunder this season, Kyrie averaged thirty and a 868 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 4: half points a game, five rebounds, tennisis shot sixty two 869 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 4: percent from the field forty two percent from three. They're 870 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 4: going to do whatever they can. The Thunder will to 871 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 4: limit Luca, to limit his playmaking, which means Kyrie needs 872 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 4: to score. He's gonna have probably not doored on him. 873 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 4: But guess what that means. You either have Shake gild 874 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 4: just Alexander Caseen Wallace, maybe Jadab maybe Aaron Wiggins a 875 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 4: solid defender as well, So it's not gonna be easy, 876 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 4: but Kyrie can score on anybody. And they need him 877 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 4: to be thirty points per game basically in this series, 878 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 4: and they really need his defense. He was great on 879 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 4: James Harden. I thought in Round one against the Clippers. 880 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 4: You know, there were games when Kyrie would have sixteen points, 881 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 4: four assists and made so many big defensive plays that 882 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 4: it kind of canceled out his pedestrian offense. But he 883 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 4: gave a great effort against Harden. He was a great 884 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 4: help defender. He was diving on the floor multiple games 885 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 4: like Kyrie was so engaged. I thought in round one 886 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 4: they need to see that again in Round two against 887 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 4: the Thunder because obviously a level of competition up, I 888 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 4: think for Dallas as well, compared to a Clippers team 889 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 4: where it's like who's even playing this game? 890 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am interested to see okay see in game one, 891 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 2: as you said, just because this is round two, the 892 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 2: lights are even brighter. That being said, the Mavericks stunk 893 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 2: in Game one against the Clippers too. 894 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: So yeah they were down like thirty five or yeah. 895 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 2: So the lights are brighter for okay See. But you know, 896 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: there are a lot of young players here on the 897 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 2: MAVs team that are supporting Luca and Kyrie will they 898 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: be able to play because there's going to be some 899 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 2: limiting by okay See's defense, I assume, so those other 900 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 2: guys have to produce something, yes, a little bit. 901 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: So this Maxi Kleiba injury could have an impact on 902 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: this series, as crazy as that sounds. But because that 903 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: was a three point shooter. Obviously for Dallas, I think 904 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: he went ten for eighteen from deep in the Clipper series. 905 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a little quicker than the other bigs. 906 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: Obviously on Dallas, they got a lot of guys, so 907 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: that's good. But Chet, we saw what he did against 908 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: Valentunis in that first round series. I'm just going to 909 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: step out and knock down threes and Maxi, in theory, 910 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: is a five that can sort of like be out 911 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: there on the perimeter a little bit more and move 912 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: your feet little bit more. But you take him out 913 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: of the equation. Now now it's Gafford is that lively. 914 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 1: They are going to be a different matchup for Chet 915 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: Holmgren Obviously the lob threat coming off there with Luca 916 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: on picks and stuff like that, but Canchett sort of 917 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: punish them like he did JV in that first round series. 918 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see if he can do it 919 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: again as a. 920 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 4: Rook Let's get him for twenty three in the first 921 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 4: round from deep Yeah, I guess he had a couple 922 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 4: good year eleven with that. If you're Dallas, yeah, that's 923 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 4: thirty percent. 924 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: That's true. Is there an X factor in this series 925 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: for you? 926 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 4: The Derek's Okay, both Derek's to me are gonna be 927 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 4: huge in this When Derek Jones Junior and Derek Lively. 928 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 4: I think Derek Jones Junior is getting the tough defensive assignment. 929 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,439 Speaker 4: Whoever happens to be out there when he's out there, 930 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 4: probably shake Gil just Alexander, though he likely gets a 931 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 4: little bit of time on Jalen Williams as well. Derek 932 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 4: Jones Junior five for thirteen from three in round one. 933 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 4: It's not great, but good enough because they need his 934 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 4: defense and his athleticism out on the court. Then you 935 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 4: look at Derek Lively. He outscored and out rebounded Daniel 936 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 4: Gafford in the first round playoff series they just had 937 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 4: against the Clippers, shot seventy five percent from the field 938 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 4: a block per game. He looked a little bit more 939 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 4: ready for the spotlight, I thought than Gafford did. He's 940 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 4: got to win his matchup with probably Jalen Williams. Big 941 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 4: Jaalen Williams off the bench. I wouldn't be surprised if 942 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 4: Live lands up starting in this one because he's maybe 943 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 4: a little quicker to be able to get out to 944 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 4: chat holmgrun at the three point line without Maxi Kleeba 945 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 4: him as the bench big. With the versatility they're losing, 946 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 4: being able to go with a small ball five Lively's 947 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 4: got to be huge. 948 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to Derek Live because I know 949 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 2: a lot of people didn't expect a lot of him 950 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 2: because he was injury coming into this postseason. He lost 951 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 2: his mom to cancer just before the playoffs started. But 952 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 2: he was fantastic and there's some little notes to really 953 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 2: if you want to go into the depth, like he 954 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 2: had a really good game against Dallas this season. It's 955 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 2: just a freaking regular season, but he had a monster 956 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and seven blocks in one game against Dallas 957 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 2: this season. Begause, Okay, see yeah, excuse me, so many teams. Yes, 958 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 2: Dallas really is gonna rely on him, though it is 959 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 2: huge to not have Maxi Cleeban in this series. They 960 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 2: can't go small ball five. They can't because besides Gafford 961 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 2: and Derek Lively, they are thin those Okay, so you're 962 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 2: obviously going to rely a lot on Derek Jones Junior PJ. 963 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 2: But Washington in the starting lineup to go along with 964 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 2: Gaffer then Lively, he's going to play a lot beyond that. 965 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 2: Now there's that's six guys beyond that who is playing. 966 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe some exhum who has who struggled in the series, 967 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: maybe some Josh Green who's who's working his ass off 968 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 2: at it being an undersized wing. Besides that, that's it. 969 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,959 Speaker 2: So we may see some Jason Kidd go say, hey, PJ, 970 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 2: you're playing the five a little bit if things get 971 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 2: in foul trouble with with with gaff or Lively. But 972 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,919 Speaker 2: there's just a lot on Lively. They lose a little 973 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 2: bit of versatility to have it. Maxi Kleeba out there 974 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 2: as the five as the guy who can freaking shoot. 975 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 2: Who shot? You know, was that sixty percent from three? 976 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 2: He didn't hit a lot of threes. 977 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: But I think it was in that Clipper series. 978 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, where he hit that one five in that one 979 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,240 Speaker 2: game and then just five of the rest of the series. 980 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, no, there's a lot on the centers, but 981 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 2: there's just a lot on the support guys. Now, whoever 982 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 2: they may be. They're waiting for Exhim to show up. 983 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: I mean ax Him had a quiet series. He could 984 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 2: be something. But yeah, Jason might. 985 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 1: I think there needs to be that seventh guy in 986 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: one of these games or two. Yeah, that sort of 987 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: turned the tide or pull them down there for a 988 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: couple of minutes in a first half or like a 989 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: third quarter. Yeah, well, let's get to predicting it. This 990 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: looks like it should be another amazing series, like all 991 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: of these like for the most part, outside maybe the 992 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: Celtics Cavaliers, these are very interesting on paper. Second round matchups, 993 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: this one definitely is where are you leaning? Well, yeah, 994 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 1: it's tough in a thunder mav series. 995 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 2: I mean I am excited. Game one is really interesting, 996 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 2: the Oklahomans against the Texans. There will be fans that 997 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 2: travel to both places because it ain't far or Andrew 998 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 2: Schlect probably probably be doing that as well. So I 999 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,760 Speaker 2: really want to see what OKAC does with Josh Giddy. 1000 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 2: If he's Gonnat close games, we may see some case 1001 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 2: in Wallas, we might see some Aaron Williams. I just 1002 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 2: like that depth, and I do trust dag Naut. So 1003 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 2: I'm just going on a limit saying okay, see in seven, Okay, 1004 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 2: which is a big stage for them, but I'm buying 1005 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 2: into what they have. 1006 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: That's a good call. I mean, Giddy could be seen 1007 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 1: as an X factor in this series too, because in 1008 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 1: the regular season matchup, they were like, go ahead, man, shoot, he's. 1009 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 4: Gonna have open look. 1010 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: No nuts, Yeah, we're sagging a few wait, worried about you. 1011 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: But Giddy was really good, you know, sort of down 1012 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: the end of the regular season into the postseason at 1013 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: catching the ball. He goes right away, obviously attacks and 1014 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: was even doing a decent job of hitting the open shot. 1015 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: So he could be a huge X factor. 1016 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 4: And Giddy and z Ord are gonna have wide open threes. 1017 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1018 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1019 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 4: Giddy went nine for eighteen, and the first round Dort 1020 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 4: went twelve to twenty three. We saw what they did, 1021 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 4: what the Mavericks did against the Clippers. They left Westbrook 1022 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 4: open to shoot. Every single time he touched the ball. 1023 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 4: He went four for seventeen. He couldn't beat him. Giddy, 1024 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,439 Speaker 4: maybe Dort, maybe they can't. 1025 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeh. 1026 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, Lucas gonna be on one of those guys could 1027 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 2: be giddy. He's gonna lead them. 1028 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, so you're going okay, see in seven, 1029 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 1: So you got obviously a bit of a coin flip 1030 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: series here, TK leaning the same way going Dallas. 1031 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,439 Speaker 4: What do you think it's gonna be tight? Definitely gonna 1032 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 4: be tight. I kind of think it's gonna come down 1033 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 4: to who makes more shots Between Shay Gildes, Alexander and 1034 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 4: Jaylen Williams versus Luka, Doncic and Kyrie Irving. These are 1035 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,800 Speaker 4: like four of the best clutch players out there. Yeah, 1036 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 4: I'll go MAVs in six a little bit of Okay. 1037 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: I like that swerve, I guess because you're leaning, maybe 1038 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 1: trust Kyrie what we've seen recently to hit maybe more 1039 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: of those crush shots than a J dub who's yeah, 1040 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: he's got to play like we feel like in a 1041 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 1: weird way, Luca and SGA they might sort of cancel 1042 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: each other out. Obviously they're gonna get the best defender 1043 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,280 Speaker 1: from the other team. They're still gonna get their thirties 1044 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: and nines and whatever. But it like, yeah, can Kyrie 1045 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 1: keep kicking ass, especially in second half? And then can 1046 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: j Dubb Yeah. I mean I don't want to say, like, 1047 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: can you match Kyrie Irving because that guy is one 1048 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 1: of the greatest scores we've ever seen. But Kenny obviously 1049 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,720 Speaker 1: have an impact on these games, and he was awesome 1050 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: in the first round series. I mean it got overlooked 1051 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: because they sort of dominated, but he was really good 1052 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: in his first postseason run. So I'm going with task here. 1053 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go thunder and seven. I think it's gonna 1054 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: be a long series and home court advantage coming through. 1055 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: And we barely even talked about SGA. I guess we 1056 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 1: did say, you know, who do they put on him? 1057 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jarreck Jones, Derek Jones Jr. 1058 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 4: A little bit. 1059 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, he should be able to like that for SGA, 1060 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: then these are the options them. 1061 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 2: Will probably get out there and play some against them 1062 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 2: as well. Will he be able to finish games? Who knows. Yeah, 1063 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 2: that's a good event. That should be an advantage for him. 1064 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 1: Luca and SJA did not have incredible first rounds there. 1065 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: You're looking at their numbers, you're still going to be impressed, 1066 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: but they were like for them, these MVP finalists, they 1067 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: were not you know, at times even the best guy 1068 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,439 Speaker 1: on their squad for a majority of it. So, yeah, 1069 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: who goes who goes up at the level here in 1070 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: the second round? Who figures out the defense that they 1071 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: now see in this new matchup? I'll go thunder and 1072 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 1: seven with tasks. We got Trey going Mads and six. 1073 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: Let's hear from everybody out there. Let us know in 1074 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: the stream, team, let us know in the YouTube comments. Uh, 1075 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: where you're leaning for this one? And we will do 1076 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: the final second round series tomorrow. We'll do Celtics Cavaliers 1077 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: and get our predictions. I was gonna say on paper, 1078 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: but on YouTube, on pod, on pod, bet we. 1079 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 2: Can type them. Yeah, we're gonna type out the swerve skis. 1080 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:03,800 Speaker 2: I like the swerve skis. 1081 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 1: You gotta love a good swerve. 1082 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 2: It's good, all right. 1083 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: We had some news from the weekend, guys, just quickly here. 1084 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,919 Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Lakers fired head coach Darvin Ham on Friday. Yeah, yeah, 1085 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: that's right. Lakers will embark on their third coaching search 1086 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 1: in six off seasons, and it's going to be a 1087 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: clean slate too, because the Lakers parted ways with their 1088 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: entire coaching staff beyond him. This includes Phil Handy who 1089 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: coached under both Ham and Frank Vogel there in LA. 1090 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,359 Speaker 1: But everybody is getting let go TK. I know you're 1091 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,439 Speaker 1: not surprised. You were saying this is going to happen. 1092 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time. It was basically right 1093 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 1: in the window. You sort of thought maybe even quicker, 1094 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 1: maybe you thought there was a day or two more. 1095 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,479 Speaker 1: But where do the Lakers go from here? 1096 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 4: Great question. The big name is JJ Redick, It could 1097 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 4: be JJ Reddick. I would go for Tylo first. Unfortunately 1098 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 4: he does still have one year left. That's true with 1099 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 4: the Clippers, but he could probably get out of that 1100 00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 4: deal if you really wanted to. It doesn't have to 1101 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 4: stay in LA. 1102 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 2: He's literally just gonna swap locker rooms. Yeah, just gone 1103 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 2: over the Yeah yeah, yeah, he's. 1104 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 4: Actually he's got to move a locker room, keep his house. 1105 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 4: I would rather have Tyler as my coach if I'm 1106 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 4: trying to win a title the very first year. But 1107 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 4: he's gonna be the most in demand coach that's out 1108 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 4: there if he's actually available, and you know that just 1109 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 4: means his price is going to go up for the Clippers. 1110 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 4: And guess what, Steve Baumer is the richest owner in 1111 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 4: the history of the NBA, so he could pay him 1112 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 4: if he really wants to. It'll be on Tyler if 1113 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 4: he wants to go and try and win another championship 1114 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 4: right away. But if it's not him, I think I'd 1115 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 4: rather have JJ Reddick than any of the other guys 1116 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 4: who are available. 1117 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: Then a Mike Budenholzer than a Kenny Atkinson, then a 1118 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,959 Speaker 1: couple obviously other names being thrown around. 1119 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he go Butenholzer because he's Darvin Ham. 1120 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 4: Like Darvin Ham learned at the foot of Mike Mike Budenholzer, 1121 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 4: So I don't really know what the big change would 1122 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 4: be there. Kenny Atkinson, Yeah maybe, but I think that 1123 00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 4: uh Tyler's experience, experience, experience with Lebron would be more 1124 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 4: important to me. 1125 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, JJ Reddick can continue the pod with Lebron 1126 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 2: because that's basically what this move is for. It's to 1127 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 2: keep Lebron around. To me, because this is Darvin Ham 1128 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 2: has just two years in LA went to the conference 1129 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 2: finals the first year, and yes, there's lots of reports 1130 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,760 Speaker 2: throughout the season that the players weren't happy with Darvin 1131 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 2: Ham at all. Whether that's coming from a Lebron's camp 1132 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 2: and trying to you know, poke poke some things there. 1133 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 2: It's really just about trying to get Lebron back, that's 1134 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,479 Speaker 2: what this. Oh yeah, so maybe the Reddick would help, 1135 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 2: but he obviously is a huge loofan helping him in Cleveland, 1136 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 2: So there is that as well. If Lou is free, 1137 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 2: there's some good puns there. Because the new arena would 1138 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 2: be called the Intuit Dome. It's called the Into It 1139 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 2: Dome in Los Angeles, so I just got to move 1140 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 2: into it into the other locker room or whatever he 1141 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 2: does there. So yeah, the Lou thing, that's interesting whether 1142 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,919 Speaker 2: he wants to move on as well, because I'm sure 1143 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 2: Bomber wants to keep him. 1144 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you're right about the Lebron portion of this. 1145 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean, first off, if you're coaching Lebron, you're probably 1146 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 1: not going to be there long if you're coming up 1147 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: short on championships. And then Shaums wrote in that article too, 1148 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: after reevaluating their season and consulting with their players, that's 1149 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 1: the key part there. The Lakers ultimately decided to go 1150 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 1: in a different direction at the coaching position to try 1151 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: and maximize the championship window here with Lebron and Ad. 1152 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,240 Speaker 1: We also had after a Game two in the Nugget series. 1153 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: You know, we had ads now infamous quote we have 1154 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: stretches where we don't know what we're doing on both 1155 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: ends of the floor, and Haim said, I just relax. 1156 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,239 Speaker 1: You're reading into it. He was just frustrated. But maybe 1157 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: there was some truth to it. At times, we saw 1158 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 1: weird coaching decisions when it came to like who he 1159 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 1: was playing and who he was going to and the 1160 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,720 Speaker 1: starting lineup and stuff like that as the regular season 1161 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: went on. But it's also a weird roster construction and 1162 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people thought maybe he didn't get a 1163 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: fair shake. That just comes with the territory. I think 1164 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,399 Speaker 1: when you're coaching Lebron James, even if he's in your 1165 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. 1166 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's like the defense against the Dark Arts 1167 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 4: job at Hogwarts, right, Yeah, go on, they die after 1168 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 4: every year, they go through a new one every year. 1169 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 4: If you're the Lakers coach, you're going to get fired. 1170 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1171 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 4: You might win a championship before it happens, but you 1172 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 4: will be fired eventually. 1173 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,320 Speaker 1: I I'm excited to see if the in season tournament 1174 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: trophy is the new curse for the coach, just like 1175 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: winning Coach of the Year was for a good portion 1176 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,319 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Remember it was like you 1177 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: won that award and you were like gone. The next year, 1178 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 1: they were your left go. Could that happen with the 1179 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,240 Speaker 1: in season tournament trophy, because let's not forget Darvin Ham 1180 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: did guide the Lakers to the inaugural ist title in 1181 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. 1182 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 2: I had already forgotten about the trophy. I just thought 1183 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 2: banner because they have already put a banner up. 1184 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: But there was a trophy. 1185 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 2: There was a trophy. It's not bad. The NBA Cup 1186 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 2: might might be the name of it in the future, 1187 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 2: even though it's not a cup. But I guess it 1188 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,279 Speaker 2: is a cup. Actually, now that I see it, that's 1189 00:51:59,280 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 2: a cup. 1190 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 1: A bit you can drink out of it. Out of it, 1191 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,800 Speaker 1: you can put some canned ham in that for sure. 1192 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,439 Speaker 1: I don't know why you would, but you could. It's 1193 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: the point. So we'll see here. I can't imagine the 1194 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: Lakers are going to rush to make a decision when 1195 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,479 Speaker 1: you're looking at these names. But wait to see about 1196 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: ty Loo probably first things first. There were some rumors 1197 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: about Jason Kidd too, but I guess that's off the 1198 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:25,399 Speaker 1: table now, Oh. 1199 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, an assistant for the Lakers and they're like, oh, 1200 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 4: he's got to take Frank Logo's job. 1201 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Ye, so we will see it before we go. 1202 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: Let's get to tweet of the night. 1203 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 2: Tweet over now, wow, we. 1204 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 1: All take tweeted the Night.
