27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: Our Survivor podcast.

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Topics included feasting on Applebee's Rocks, Roy's exile, Island vacation,

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: the return of the Schaley of Time, and Lee, you'll

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: like this How you would do on Survivor? Hmmm, that

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: was a question that somebody sent in. Yes, I guess

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: the question was who would suffer more on Survivor Lee

33
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: because he couldn't have breakfasts or skeets because he couldn't shower.

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: So that was the debate, and then we really started

35
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: talking about how you would do. We also learned you

36
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: might like this tastly. Everybody joining us here on No Ducks. Jonathan,

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: one of the guys on Survivor, giant dude. Right, his

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: normal breakfast Lee eighteen eggs, nine pieces of cheese and grits.

39
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised he's a big gentleman.

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 7: Then, yes, that amount of calories doesn't really draw jive

41
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 7: with someone who's a theme person. I would say, so

42
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 7: what he likes for breakfast?

43
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 6: Then put on him.

44
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: We also got this great tweet I just saw jd

45
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: You'll like this, Jeremy says, listening to No Buffs, I

46
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: love my No Dunks boys covering basketball, but I find

47
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: myself always either agreeing with Jason Doyle or being compelled

48
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: by what he has to say about Survivor. He is

49
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: the MVP of No Buffs. This two hour episode was

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: the best of the season so far, so he was

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: agreeing with you there.

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 5: Well, to be fair to you, guys, I put my

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: entire week into that show. You guys, yeah, show up,

54
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 5: watch the show right beforehand, and then you just come

55
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 5: on and wing it. I deep dive, I think about it.

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 5: I'm in the shower, I'm thinking about what we're gonna

57
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: say on next week's No Buffs. So that's that's it.

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: It's just more work, really, that's it.

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: Well, you can tell because you're killing it. The people

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: are loving Jad's No Buffs Survivor thoughts.

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: So anyway, go check that out.

62
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: On today's Drop podcast, we're gonna get you all set

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: for tonight's final two play in games. We're gonna take

64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: a big picture look at the NBA playoffs that start

65
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: this weekend. We'll discuss which series we're most excited for

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: and why, which role players to maybe keep an eye

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: on this weekend. So that'll be a lot of fun.

68
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: We got tweeted the night we got rapid fire. But

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: let's start with a deep dive on the two seven

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: matchups in conferences, because we've done our previous and predictions

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: for the three six matchups for the four or five matchups,

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: so if you want to know what we had to.

73
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Say about those, go check out the podcast from earlier

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: this week. But let's start in the West.

75
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Grizzlies Wolves ley four game regular season series between these

76
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: teams tied to to D'Angel Russell balled out in the series,

77
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: John Moran averaged about twenty all but one game decided

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: by eight points or fewer, so a lot of close games.

79
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: What's the key to this series for you.

80
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 6: Grizzwolves, Well, I love this matchup.

81
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 7: I think it is going to be a fascinating series

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 7: because the Grizzlies did everything right during the regular season,

83
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 7: you know, won a ton of games, They proved they

84
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 7: could win without their all star and John Morant for

85
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 7: more than twenty games.

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 6: And I think what's really key he is they led

87
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 6: the league.

88
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 7: In important defensive categories which can have an impact come

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 7: playoff times, like rebound, steals, and blocks. They were relentless

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 7: on the defensive end, and then on the offensive end

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 7: they were pretty good too, leading league in fast break points,

92
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 7: second chance points, and points in the paint. And the

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 7: last one I think is significant because the Grizzlies weakness

94
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 7: is three point shooting. They make them at an okay rate,

95
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 7: they just don't make as many as other teams like

96
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 7: the Minnesota Timberwolves, who believe it or not, took more

97
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 7: and made more threes than any other team this season.

98
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 7: I was a little surprised to see that this morning

99
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 7: when I was going through the stats. They don't shoot

100
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 7: them at necessarily the best rate, but still they're knocking

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 7: them down. They made about three hundred more in total

102
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 7: than the Grizzlies just this season. So I think early on, though,

103
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 7: in a game and a series, if you can get inside,

104
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 7: get some high percentage looks what like the Grizzlies like

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 7: to do. Jummeran loves to get into the paint. I

106
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 7: think that is vital for a team that look, they

107
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 7: made the playoffs last season, but the expectations when you

108
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 7: are a number eight seed as they were last season,

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 7: versus a number two seed this season are completely different.

110
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 7: Anything that they got out of last season playoffs was gravy.

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 7: This season, when you're the number two seed, you were

112
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 7: expected to win your first round series fairly comfortably most

113
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 7: of the time. So I think the Grizzlies are deserving

114
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 7: favorites in this series. But it still feels a little

115
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 7: to me like they're ahead of schedule. You know, they

116
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 7: sort of improved almost too much this season. They were

117
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 7: too good, if that's such a thing, And that's why

118
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 7: I think if you're the Minnesota Timberwolves, there's no reason

119
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 7: to think that they can't go in there and steal

120
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 7: this series.

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 6: I mean, they've.

122
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 7: Already shown incredible resilience in one game. Was just one game,

123
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 7: but they won the playing game against the team I

124
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 7: can't remember if we all picked the Clippers to win that,

125
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 7: I certainly did. They were going up against an experienced

126
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 7: team and they won it without there all star Karl

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 7: Anthony Towns. He was a no show for I mean

128
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 7: literally the entire game. He fouled out, and even in

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 7: the minist he did play, he just wasn't very good.

130
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 7: They've got a very good offense, in offensive guys in D'Angelo, Russell,

131
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 7: Karl Anthony Towns of course when he does play, and

132
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 7: then Anthony Edwards, he already showed he's ready for the

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 7: big time. And then of course defensively, they've got Patrick Beverly,

134
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 7: who is going to impact this series, maybe to the

135
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 7: detriment of his own team, maybe to the benefit his

136
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 7: own team. But you know that Patrick Beverly's already got

137
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 7: his eyes on the Jamaran matchup. He wants that battle,

138
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 7: he wants to see what he can do to slow

139
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 7: him down. So I think there's so much any different

140
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 7: things in this series that can impact it. Again, I

141
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 7: think that the Grizzlies love to get out and run,

142
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 7: get into that transition and score a lot of baskets

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 7: because they're not going to bomb away from three, and

144
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 7: the Memphis Grizzlies probably are.

145
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 6: So it's going to be fascinating. I think it's going

146
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 6: to be close.

147
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 7: I'm picking the Memphis Grizzly to win this series, probably

148
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 7: in six games, but I do think, as you mentioned,

149
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 7: their kids through those games eight points a rounder, I

150
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 7: think we're going to have a close series because the

151
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 7: Grizzlies certainly aren't approven playoff team right now. Obviously the

152
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 7: Minnesota Timberwolves are not either, But I just feel that

153
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 7: the Timbers probably look at this match up and go,

154
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 7: you know, obviously they'd rather Memphis over Phoenix, and they'd

155
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 7: probably even rather Memphis over Golden State simply because of

156
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 7: the experience factor that the Golden State has. They may

157
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 7: be injured, but I think Memphis hasn't proven anything beyond

158
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 7: the regular season right now, so I think it's going

159
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 7: to be a fascinating series.

160
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 6: I'm really excited for this one.

161
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: What do you think task just as excited as Leley

162
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: for this one?

163
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pumped.

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 8: Sure the Wolves would want to pick the most inexperienced

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 8: team at the top of the bracket, that makes sense,

166
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 8: But the Grizzlies I think have a few things going

167
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 8: for them when it comes to the Wolves. I was

168
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 8: concerned about the Grizzlies offense and how it would translate

169
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 8: to the playoffs, because, as Lee said, they like to

170
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 8: get it moving. They led the league in fast breakpoints,

171
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 8: and they led the league and second chance points, two

172
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 8: categories you'd assume would probably be taking care of a

173
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 8: little bit more in the postseason when teams get back

174
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 8: on defense, teams take care of the glass Moore. But

175
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 8: the Wolves have the fastest pace in the league. They

176
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 8: like to play the fastest, and the Grizzlies are second.

177
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 8: So I think that bodes well for the Grizzlies. If

178
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 8: it gets into a track meet at home with the

179
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 8: Grizzlies home court advantage, that bodes really really well because

180
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 8: the Grizzlies fourth in offense overall, but only twenty second

181
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 8: in half court offense. When things slow down, when it's

182
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 8: strictly the Josh show, and he has to take over,

183
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 8: and I think he can do that because I don't

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 8: think it's going to be a great defensive showing from

185
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 8: the Wolves where they get back and stop. This team

186
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 8: jaw led the league in points in the paint this

187
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 8: season of any player, which is a dumb stat. Just

188
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 8: think about that, John Moran had more points in the

189
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 8: paint per game than Jokic or Embiid or anybody. It's

190
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 8: usually usually was Shack stat. Then it was Yiannis's stat,

191
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 8: and that was John Morant's stat. And I think he'll

192
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 8: be able to do that against this Wolves team that

193
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 8: likes to play fast. So that bodes well if it

194
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 8: was a better defensive team that got back or that

195
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 8: didn't play as fast. I think that would be different

196
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 8: for the Wolves. I'm sorry for the Grizzlies, but the

197
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 8: Grizzlies have got to be, to me, the most exciting

198
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 8: team going into this weekend as a home court team.

199
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 8: I just want to watch their fans. I just want

200
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 8: to watch them, you know, embrace a team that, yeah

201
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 8: it's their first foray into the postseason, but I think

202
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 8: this is a pretty decent matchup for them. I think

203
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 8: they They've got some bigs that are, you know, more

204
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 8: athletic even than the Wolves biggs. And I think they

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 8: can get after it with Jaron Jackson Junior on the boards,

206
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 8: with Brandon Clark on the boards, so they love getting

207
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 8: offensive rebounds, they love running, but so to the Wolves,

208
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 8: so I think this kind of plays right into their hands.

209
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 8: I do like Memphis in this series.

210
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Memphis, you know, the favorites in this tray, of course.

211
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean they were one of the best teams in

212
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,119
Speaker 1: the regular season.

213
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: With or without John Morant. They're all NBA guy.

214
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: But what needs to go right for the Wolves to

215
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: like pull off the upset or even stretch this to

216
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: potential seven game. Let's say, even what do you think?

217
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: I think the key for the Wolves has to be

218
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: forcing turnovers because I'm with Tass. One of the big

219
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: questions of the playoffs for me is what the Grizzlies

220
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: offense is going to look like in the half court

221
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: and if it's just going to be the josh O

222
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 3: and you're they're just going to have to rely on

223
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: him getting to the bucket every single time. But if

224
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: the Wolves are able to force turnovers, that really gooses

225
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: their offense because they're not a super strong defensive team,

226
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: but they get a ton of steals, which then gives

227
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: them the chance to get out in transition and get

228
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: a lot of easy buckets, and that then allows them

229
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: to keep a Jared Vanderbilt on the court or on

230
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: McDaniel's on the court. Those are kind of the strengths

231
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: of both of those two players, and certainly the offensive

232
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: strengths running in transition.

233
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: So I think.

234
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: That's a key area to be watching here, because the

235
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: Grizzlies actually do a pretty good job at taking care

236
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: of the ball their top five and lowest turnover rate,

237
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: So you know, just like task to saying, both teams

238
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: like to run here. Whoever controls the pace is really

239
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: going to be in charge, because I think the offensive

240
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: rebounding is going to be an issue for the Timberwolves.

241
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: Steven Adams, to me, is a little bit of an X.

242
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: Factor here because Karl Anthony Towns is pretty solid on

243
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 3: the offensive glass. You know, he gets a lot of

244
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: second chance points. But Steven Adams is a great defensive rebounder,

245
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: so you need Steven Adams on that side of the court.

246
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: And then the Timberwolves are pretty weak on the defensive glass,

247
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: so Steven Adams could certainly punish the Timberwolves there as well.

248
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know exactly what to expect

249
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: in this series.

250
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: It feels like it's going to be close because both teams,

251
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: you know, they have had minor playoff experience in the past,

252
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: but this really feels like their first experience where both

253
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: teams have to have confidence that they can win the series,

254
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: because I think it should go along with both these

255
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 3: teams being a little bit unsettled here.

256
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: I think ultimately though, it comes.

257
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: Down to John Morant is going to be pretty solid

258
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: when it comes down to it, and I think that

259
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: he will get the best of Patrick Beverley over the

260
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: course of the series. It's a Grizzlies and six probably

261
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: to me, But I can see the Timberwolves being a

262
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: lot better because Tom's has had a lot of success

263
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: against the Grizzlies this season, and you know, after the

264
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: way the playing tournament went for him, you have to

265
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: imagine he's gonna bounce back.

266
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people excitedly about the Beverly on

267
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: John Morant matchup. Maybe the Dylan Brooks on like Anthony

268
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Edwards type of match up there, or does hec minutes

269
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: on Russell, who, again, like I said, had a really

270
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: good regular season series against the Grizzlies. He scored a

271
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: ton and we saw what he just did in the

272
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: in the playing game, Trey went with Steven Adams. Is

273
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: there another player in this series from either side that

274
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: you see as like, wow, that guy could you know,

275
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: not a star guy, but an X factor here, a

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: role player that could swing this well.

277
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 7: Bain is their pretty good three point shooter. So and

278
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 7: he's had a fantastic season. I mean, he's in contention

279
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 7: for Most Improved, but Jar's going to win it his

280
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 7: own teammate.

281
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 6: They're Jaron Jackson's in contention. But that's the thing.

282
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: I mean, again, you expect so much attention is going

283
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 7: to go on Jar Moran and that ball is going

284
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 7: to move around Desmond Bay. He's been shooting the three

285
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 7: point of really really well over forty percent this season,

286
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 7: so I think he's going to get a ton of shots.

287
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 7: And again, the Grizzlies have shown that even if Jar,

288
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 7: let's say he gets in foul trouble or whatever and

289
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 7: he's off the court, they don't really miss a beat.

290
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 7: They know how to play without him. So I think

291
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 7: that's a really strong thing here for the Memphis Grizzlies'

292
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 7: they're not so heavily reliant on Jar being out there

293
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 7: all the time. They can cope in some minutes when

294
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 7: he's not on the court, or if he's just being

295
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 7: pested to death by Patrick Beverley out there. Also excited

296
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 7: to see how Jaron Jackson Junior stands up, because he's

297
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 7: been fantastic for them on the defensive end, and his

298
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 7: offensive game has improved as well. The numbers haven't improved

299
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 7: all that much, but his impact has. So this is

300
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 7: this is really interesting to me. As I said earlier,

301
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 7: like the Grizzlies last season, eighth. Remember they won Game

302
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 7: one against the Jazz and it was like, oh, this

303
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 7: is great experience. Well, let's see if that experience is

304
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 7: already going to have effected this season, because you know,

305
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 7: they are the number two seeds, so they should be

306
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 7: the favorite. They've got home courte, no health consent, Dylan

307
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 7: Brooks is back. It's going to be great to see

308
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 7: have a handle now the pressure, all of the expectation.

309
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: I think what's fascinating Towo tasks with like the play

310
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: in tournament being fairly new here, Like what this is

311
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: our third season of this you know sort of format,

312
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: let's call it that.

313
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: I know it's changed a little bit, tweaked a.

314
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: Little bit, but will there be the like, you know,

315
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: the rust factor here where the Grizzlies has had a

316
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: long time off and the Wolves just played not too

317
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: long ago, they've had a game here in between. They

318
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: had the already high stakes the game seven, Like feel

319
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: can they carry that into Game one?

320
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: Will it matter at all? Because we just don't really

321
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: have like a long history of this playing.

322
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Tournament to know if these teams that sort of sneak

323
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: their way in in the play in, like the Grizzlies

324
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: last year, likely said can steal that game one because

325
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: they're just like a little bit more on the flow

326
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: or that other team can be. You know, yeah, you

327
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: get healthy, that's a positive. You get rested, that's a positive.

328
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: But for that game one, can you turn it up

329
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and get right into that playoff sort of vibe right away?

330
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: We'll see.

331
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a thought on that.

332
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Maybe could the Wolves steel game one? I guess what

333
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting.

334
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 8: At, I don't think so. I don't think it's going

335
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 8: to be a factor. I guess the Grizzlies had five

336
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 8: days off or whatever. But I think the good thing

337
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 8: about Jahn Morant is that he's not a guy who's

338
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 8: going to try and take.

339
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 4: Over in the first court.

340
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 8: He's going to get everybody involved and everyone's going to get.

341
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 4: In their flow.

342
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 8: And that's why they were such a successful team when

343
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 8: he was out. So it is a real team. It's

344
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 8: not just a superstar and everybody else. So I think,

345
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 8: you know, that'll shake off the rust pretty quickly.

346
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: Number one.

347
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 8: Number two, I like the fact that, yeah, the Wolves,

348
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 8: if they looked at the top of the bracket and

349
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 8: they see the Suns or the Warriors, even the Jazz,

350
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 8: even the MAVs. They would say, we'd rather have the

351
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 8: Grizzlies because they lack playoff experience. But at the same time,

352
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 8: the Grizzlies should be looking down and say, hey, we

353
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 8: were there last year. This Wolf's team wasn't. I think

354
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 8: if they look at the bottom of the bracket, I'm

355
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 8: sure they're excited to see the Wolves come into their house.

356
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 8: So they should feel really, really confident they have a

357
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 8: deeper team than the Minnesota Timberwolves. They've been ridiculously solid.

358
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I think, you know, we just expect John

359
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 8: to go off and to be able to sort of

360
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 8: fly fly by Patrick Beverley. But I think Anthony Edwards

361
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 8: when he locks in, he is such a huge, huge guy,

362
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 8: you know, at six six and long, and when he

363
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 8: played wants to play defense. He's going to do a

364
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 8: decent job against John Morant. But again, I think it

365
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 8: goes back to how Jaw is a superstar in this league,

366
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 8: how he conducts himself, and that is getting everybody involved.

367
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 8: And I think they're gonna they are going to play

368
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 8: like a team like they did all season long. So

369
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 8: I think that hurts the Wolves. I think the Grizzlies

370
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 8: will get a lot out of their deep, deep roster Trey.

371
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: Do you also think Karl Anthony Towns is going to

372
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: bounce back from that you know, abys multi playing game

373
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: where he got flustered and got all the fouls and

374
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: fouled out and did nothing and was rushing shots even

375
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: when he was finally getting looks after you know, getting

376
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: a little space from Batoum. You do think this matchup

377
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: works better for him here because the Grizzlies probably won't

378
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: be playing a very you know, small mobile four on them.

379
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that Towns is gonna certainly have a

380
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: better series than he did in the play in game

381
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: against the Grizzlies. This season, he's at twenty three points

382
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: per game, nine rebounds per game, shot fifty two from

383
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: the floor, thirty eight from three. I think it's just

384
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 3: the fact of the matter that the Grizzlies are going

385
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: to play two traditional big guys. You know, Brandon Clark

386
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: and Jared Jackson Junior are pretty athletic, but they're still

387
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: sizeable guys, more so than Batoom. To the fact, to

388
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: the point where the Clippers were gonna do whatever they

389
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: can double league teaming and trapping Towns to make it

390
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: tough on them. It'll probably be a little bit more

391
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: straight up with the Grizzlies defense, whether that be Adams,

392
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: Towns or Clark. Any of those guys are big guys,

393
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: so they'll probably be one on one with help that

394
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: sort of thing, which I think certainly certainly helps out Towns,

395
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: and it will probably let the Timberwolves space the Grizzlies

396
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: out a little bit. So I'm expecting him to have

397
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: a better series. You know, it's just one game. That's

398
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: the other thing too. Maybe over the course of a

399
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 3: seven game series with the Clippers, Towns figures it out

400
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: and is able to put up some numbers.

401
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 4: Or something like that.

402
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't be surprised if the Timberwolves take Game one.

403
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: Did a little quick basketball reference sicico mode here. Obviously,

404
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies took game one off the Jazz last year.

405
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: Apparently the Trailblazers did the same to the Lakers back

406
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: in the bubble season as well, after they had a

407
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: nice run in the play in tournament. So maybe game

408
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: one is a good chance to steal one. Just because

409
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: you've played a game, you know, you've had the high

410
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: stakes affair already, especially considering the way the season ended

411
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: for the Timberwolves, like they were kind of locked into

412
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: seven for a while, so you know, they were playing

413
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: games that mattered and then they finally got to one

414
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: that really really mattered showed up in the fourth quarter.

415
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I expect.

416
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: Game one to be pretty tight and it wouldn't be

417
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: a surprise if the Timberwolves pull it off.

418
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: Another X factor for me too, for the Wolves to

419
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: pull off the upset, which I think is unlikely because

420
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies are that good, and they're that deep, and

421
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: they have John Morant and he should be back to

422
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: his explosive best. But Malik Beasley, I remember you brought

423
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 1: him up, Lee, he didn't have like a crazy playing

424
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: game from you know, really sort of got overshadowed of

425
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: he didn't do a lot. I mean, it was the

426
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: D'Angel Russell Anthony Edwards show for the Wolves there in

427
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: that game to get in the seventh seed. But he

428
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: has like been on fire for since February. Early February.

429
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: The guy shooting is something like forty five percent from

430
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: deep on a lot of attempts from three, So you know,

431
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: over the last that's a thirty game sample or something

432
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: like that. You know, he can drop six, seven, eight

433
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: threes in a game, and that would be huge for

434
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: the Wolves to pull off a couple of these victories.

435
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on Beasley. Maybe that'll be one

436
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: of the guys I'll be watching. And we get to

437
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: role players this weekend. But final predictions here as we

438
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: wrap up this one, let's hear from everybody in the

439
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: stream team as well. Test what do you got in

440
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: this one? It looks sounds like you're leaning towards Grizzlies.

441
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: How many games?

442
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 8: I like the grizz I think they'll be confident. I

443
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 8: think that playoff experience from last year will help them.

444
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 8: I think they'll they'll take it in six. I mean

445
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 8: a lot of this we mentioned a bunch Wolves. I

446
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 8: think a lot of it sort of falls on Dangel

447
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 8: Russell too. He had three big games against the Memphis

448
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 8: Grizzlies this season twenty eight, twenty nine, and thirty six

449
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 8: in those three games. So he's he's a monster because

450
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 8: it's just it's it's difficult to guard both backcourts on

451
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 8: this team with Moranton Bean and then Russell and Edwards.

452
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 8: It's those are tough covers, and so I think Daniel

453
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 8: Russell will probably have the ability to get a lot

454
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 8: of open shots, so a lot's going to fall on him.

455
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 8: But buying the grizz and their depth and home court

456
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 8: should be a huge factor in this series.

457
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: Lee, what do you want?

458
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm going Grizzly six as well. I think it

459
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 7: is going to be pretty tight series though, And I

460
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 7: sort of like trace prediction there. Maybe not the first game,

461
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 7: but I think there's a split in the first two anyway.

462
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 7: I just think you know, you're going to see adjustments

463
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 7: after Game one if the Grizzlies do pull off that victory,

464
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 7: and then going back to Minnesota, think we're going to

465
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 7: see the same as well. So I think it is

466
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 7: going to be a pretty exciting series. And you know,

467
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 7: I don't think all the team is going to truly dominate.

468
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 7: I think it's just gonna be sort of one in

469
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 7: the margins. But Memphis having home court, a bit of

470
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 7: a deeper team, and I just think they're better coach

471
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 7: as well there from Tyler Jenks. I think he does

472
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 7: a great job. So I'm taking the grizz in six.

473
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Trey, Yeah, I'm Grizzlies in six as well. These

474
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: seem like kind of similar teams.

475
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: The way they go about playing.

476
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: They both want to play fast, they both want to

477
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: force a ton of turnovers, and you're not exactly sure

478
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: what you're going to be getting.

479
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: In the half court.

480
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 3: But the Grizzlies have better depth and they do have

481
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: home court advantage. And Jah despite coming off an injury,

482
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: it means he's a little bit rested. He'll have to

483
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: deal with the rest of getting back to playing NBA

484
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 3: basketball followed by it being playoff basketball.

485
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: But I think they can overcome that. So grizz and six.

486
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grizzlies and six does feel like the safe way

487
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: to tackle this series, doesn't it. I hate to do it,

488
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: but that's my official pick too. I'm excited to see

489
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: type of Carl Anthony Towns we see after the.

490
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: Brutal playing game. And you know, look, John Moran is

491
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: probably gonna cook Patrick Bever.

492
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: You can't really stop him, but you know, Bemverily is

493
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna give it a go. He's gonna like get dirty

494
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: quote unquote dirty, see what he can get away with.

495
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: The refs are going to be huge in this series.

496
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: That's something we talked about when we're doing first thoughts,

497
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: I mean the type of game that they're calling, what

498
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: they're allowing, how many whistles, how many free throws, what

499
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, how much barkin they're letting them get away with,

500
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: or there's is there like would you be surprisedly if

501
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: like there's like a game changing ejection in this in

502
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: one of these games because of like a two tech

503
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: thing gotten early one because the classic double tech and

504
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: then something happens. No, you wouldn't. So we'll see, we'll see.

505
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun series. And both arenas. I

506
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: mean you said it tasks Memphis awesome, We've experienced it.

507
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: We went there and saw a game. Minnesota were incredible

508
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: there on their in their playing game. And this is

509
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: like a thirsty fan base that is just going to

510
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: be going, I think insane for these first couple of games,

511
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: Games three and four. So the crowd experience in both barns.

512
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: Should be awesome. So let's say, from everybody, who you.

513
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 6: Got, what.

514
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 3: Do you celebrate a Game three victory the same way

515
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: you celebrate a play in victory? Like if the Wolves win,

516
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: they're their first home playoff game, is that a party?

517
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: Well, no party. No, I don't think you're jumping up

518
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: on the tables. I don't think you're ripping your jerseys off.

519
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: It depends.

520
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 7: I mean, if they come back from a big deficit

521
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 7: and Pat Bev gets the game ceiling play, whether it's

522
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 7: a steal or hits a three, he's getting up on

523
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: the scores type for sure that jersey's coming off.

524
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe confetti to the Does confetti drop after every

525
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: playoff win in somebody's places?

526
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 6: I think it was Atlanta? Didn't the other day? Something fell,

527
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 6: didn't it?

528
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: From the diet? Yeah, there was a little bit. I

529
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: saw Larry Luke's photo.

530
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, point streamers, we'll see it. But yeah,

531
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: let's hear from everybody. I got Grizzlies and six as

532
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot of us do as well. Okay, the other

533
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: two seven matchup in the Eastern Conference. Task get a started, man,

534
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: this is the one that's got everybody salbrating Boston Brooklyn.

535
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: What do you got a fun one?

536
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 8: Because so many people want to take the Brooklyn Nets

537
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 8: for just watching Kevin Durant and Kyrie erving and I'm

538
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 8: sure are no dunks faithful are expecting me to take

539
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 8: the Brooklyn Nets, because I have been the most vocal

540
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 8: person of all of us saying that they'd come out

541
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 8: of the play in tournament and be a team that

542
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 8: no one wants to play. But I like Boston against

543
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 8: them for just like zoom out and think about the

544
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 8: last few months of the Boston Celtics. They play four

545
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 8: quarters and the Nets don't, and I think that is

546
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 8: going to be a factor in the series. I know

547
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 8: it's simple, real simple analysis, but I think this is

548
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 8: sort of the worst matchup for the Nets in that

549
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 8: regard because the Celtics just don't stop.

550
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 4: They were tied for the.

551
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 8: League lead in net rating the amount of points they

552
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 8: won by despite starting twenty five and twenty five, because

553
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 8: the last three months have been so damn good for them.

554
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 8: They have been so so solid. Now, I fig a

555
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 8: concern for the Boston is clutch time. You got Kyrie

556
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 8: and you've got Kevin Durant, and the stats say that

557
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 8: they were far better in clutch time than the Boston Celtics.

558
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 8: Totally true, six versus two twenty six to the Boston Celtics.

559
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 8: I get that, And Boston just didn't have to play

560
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 8: a lot of those game. They're blowing a lot of

561
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 8: teams out. But I think the nets tiny backcourt is

562
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 8: going to be a bit of a problem. You're going

563
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 8: to want to hide one of Kyrie Irving or Seth Curry,

564
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 8: and they're probably one of those guys probably gonna have

565
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 8: to guard Jalen Brown.

566
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 4: You can't.

567
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 8: You just can't hide both of them against the Celtics.

568
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 8: I mean, we saw the other day the Calves going

569
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 8: at the nets in the play and tournament and there

570
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 8: was a struggle for Kyrie Irving guarding terrorists vert possession

571
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 8: after possession in the fourth quarter. Now this is a

572
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 8: different animal and Jalen Brown even to another degree. You

573
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 8: can hide one on Marcus Smart, but Jalen Brown most

574
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 8: likely is going to be guarded by Kyrie or Seth

575
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 8: Curry or even Patty Mills. So it's going to be

576
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 8: a problem, I think. I think so that the clutch

577
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 8: part kind of evens out there. And listen, the nets

578
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 8: have some continuity problems that will be highlighted against a

579
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 8: really good Celtics team that wasn't highlighted in the playing tournament.

580
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 8: They've got holes, while the Celtics team just doesn't have any.

581
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 8: You know, the nets are playing Kessler Edwards, He's probably

582
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 8: gonna have to guard Jason Tatum. He's a rook and

583
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 8: just doesn't look all that comfortable at this point so

584
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 8: far in the postseason. I mean, they would love to

585
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 8: have Ben Simmons out there for ten minutes. Yeah, Sean's

586
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 8: shrine is reporting that he could be back between Games

587
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 8: four and Game six. But I as much as I

588
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 8: believe Ben Simmons was coming back, I don't know how

589
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 8: you can prognosticate that, predict that so far in advance,

590
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 8: think that he's going to come back when he's not

591
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 8: doing anything. He's still playing one on zero and Robert Williams,

592
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 8: this is the Boston Celtic, Boston center that they lost

593
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 8: who helps out. They've got depth behind him in Tyson Horford.

594
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 8: But he's even doing more than Ben Simmons is doing.

595
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: He's further along in his recovery. The wording is always

596
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 8: hilarious that Ben Simmons is doing one on zero work

597
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 8: while Robert Williams is doing light basketball work. At least

598
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 8: he's bumping guys to some degree. He's playing one on

599
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 8: one versus Ben Simmons one on zero. So I think

600
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 8: when we're talking to injuries, and we're talking depth. Celtics

601
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 8: are closer to having Robert Williams back, and the Nets

602
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 8: could desperately use Ben Simmons defense on the perimeter to

603
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 8: help out Kyrie or Seth and just sit one of

604
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 8: those of not Kyrie, but to sit Seth, Curry down

605
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 8: and just to be a body out there. But if

606
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 8: he's playing one on zero now, I don't know how

607
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 8: you throw him in in games four or five or six,

608
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 8: I mean when the series could be virtually on the line.

609
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 8: So I like the Celtics are the fact that they've

610
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 8: been playing so well, I'm not so concerned about the

611
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 8: Robert Williams injury. When you've got Al Horford's experience back

612
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 8: there in Daniel Tyson, it doesn't get much more solid

613
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 8: than that. Not as spectacular as Robert Williams, but pretty

614
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 8: damn solid. So I'm buying the team that's been playing

615
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 8: better for longer. Even though I'm sure many ever no

616
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 8: Duck's Faithful, think that I would be taking the Brooklyn Nets.

617
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 8: I think it's just a bad matchup for the Nets

618
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 8: that they across the board. The Celtics feel good and

619
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 8: give some Nets, give the Nets some bad matchups.

620
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm just playing one on zero. Mean, I've never heard

621
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: anybody say that, just like you're just shooting around, like

622
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: Lee's never said to us. Yeah, I went down to

623
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: the court the other day just to play a little

624
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: one on zero.

625
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 6: That's what NBA play is it doing. Then I'm on

626
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 6: an equal with NBA player. I was shooting round by

627
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 6: myself almost every day, so.

628
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 8: Easy on Leon played one on chair, remember back in

629
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 8: the day, his.

630
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 6: Day on two, I remember, Yeah, so.

631
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: More respect playing against literally nobody than playing against.

632
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: The piece of furniture.

633
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: One on zero.

634
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: It's much more impressive than one on chair.

635
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, we'll see if he reached ok Like, okay,

636
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 9: let's say, Lee, he even does come back and Simon's

637
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 9: back games four or five in this series and it's

638
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 9: two two, or you know, it's three, what whatever it is.

639
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: We haven't seen him play basketball in almost a year.

640
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: The last time you played was June twentieth in the

641
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: Sixers uniform. Of course in the games haven't lost to

642
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: the Hawks.

643
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: So like, who knows what he can even give?

644
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: And then you know, let's say you're like, okay, of

645
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: course you can get him out there to play defense

646
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: on a Jalen or a Jason. That's that's great. He

647
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: probably can still do that. He's probably pretty elite at that,

648
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: but he does have to play on the other end.

649
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: And would the Celtics go to hack of Ben, would

650
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: they like just try and rattle them? You know, the

651
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: crowd would be all over him in Boston. It's like

652
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: that part's fascinating, Like just how Udoka and the Celtics

653
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: would approach to playing him and forcing him into action offensively,

654
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: and of course dare him to shoot, but then even

655
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: put him at the line.

656
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: I think that's a real possibility.

657
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 7: If I'm email at Dorker, I'm saying, come back Ben

658
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 7: as quick as you want. For exactly that reason, I

659
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 7: would say, let's whoever he's defending live, let him have

660
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 7: as much space as he wants, because you know, even

661
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 7: if you open the line for him, if someone comes up,

662
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 7: he doesn't want to get out and go to the

663
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 7: free throw line. He doesn't want to have to deal

664
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 7: with that. In the playoffs, he's obviously not going to shoot.

665
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 7: And if the ball's in his hands, then it's not

666
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 7: in Kyrie's hands, and it's not in Kevin Durant's hands

667
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 7: until we've seen him play. I think you absolutely say, Ben,

668
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 7: you can do whatever you want out there. I mean,

669
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: that's the thing here for the Brooklyn Nets, their ceiling

670
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 7: with Kyrie and Kevin Durant. Issued Both of those guys,

671
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 7: as we saw the other night, can be incredible offensive players,

672
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 7: but after that they need someone else, like a Seth Curry.

673
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 7: I think Seth Curry's been good for them, but he's

674
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 7: currently dealing with an ankle injury here himself.

675
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: He did so nothing in that game exactly, yes, and

676
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure he stepped out of barns a lot of times.

677
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 7: And other than that, you know, it was Bruce Brown

678
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 7: who had a good game. And then it's Andre Drummond

679
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 7: trying to feast inside, but he doesn't obviously shoot or

680
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 7: spread the floor. So they need somebody else to provide

681
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 7: the offense. And that's the thing. What do they do

682
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 7: the Nets. It's a little bit like the Joel embiid

683
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 7: Philadelphia seventy six is when Kevin Durant's off on the bench,

684
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 7: how do they sort of cope in those minutes.

685
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 6: We know Kyrie can get red.

686
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 7: Hot, but he's also had some pretty bad shooting games

687
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 7: in the games that he played during the regular season,

688
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 7: so that's an interesting factor here for the Nets. And

689
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 7: also defensively, I was very impressed with what they did

690
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 7: against Cleveland. The effort, you know, blocking shots. Kevin Durant

691
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 7: was all over the place. That's one game. You've got

692
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 7: to do this now against a much better offensive team

693
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 7: in the Boston Celtics, and likely for entire games for

694
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 7: four or five, however long this series goes. So I

695
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 7: think that's another concern here for the Brooklyn Nets. Sure,

696
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 7: Ben Simmons can.

697
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 6: Theoretically help, but a guy hasn't played.

698
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 7: I mean, you're gonna say you go out there and

699
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 7: defend Jason Tatum straight up without playing, you're playing one

700
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 7: or none, and then you're playing defense on Jason Tatum.

701
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 7: So I don't think Ben Simmons it would be wise

702
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 7: for the Nets to bring him back. I really don't

703
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 7: think he can help in a positive way for this team.

704
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 7: I think he can only be a detriment because he

705
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 7: got no reps with these guys, and I think that's huge.

706
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 7: So I really like this for the Boston Celtics. I

707
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 7: believe Kevin Durant is the best player in the series,

708
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 7: and usually that tilts it towards that team, but not

709
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 7: in this for me, because Boston's at home.

710
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 6: They're just way deeper.

711
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 7: I think they're playing so much better in the last

712
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 7: you know, sort of two or three months. Emok has

713
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 7: done a fantastic job there with them, and I think

714
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 7: as well as Kyrie was brilliant against the Cavs the

715
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 7: other night. Well, the Celtics can throw Smart, Derek White,

716
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 7: Jaylen Brown on him if they want, and Kyrie's got

717
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 7: the ability to get his shot off. We know that,

718
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 7: but it's just so much different when it's like, oh

719
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 7: my god, I had Smart for the last five positions.

720
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 7: Now I've got long arms Derek White in my face

721
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 7: as well. So it's that he's going to have to

722
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 7: work so much harder to get his buckets. He can

723
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 7: do it, but it's just not going to be easy.

724
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: What do you think, Trey, what are your keys to

725
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: this series which should be very entertaining.

726
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: Well.

727
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: I like that you mentioned the Sixers Raptors seriously because

728
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 3: it does feel very similar to that series to me.

729
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: Boston obviously has a lot more depth. They've got a

730
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: nine man rotation of everybody that's playing pretty solid, you know,

731
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: outside of Robert Williams missing, however much time he ends

732
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: up missing. But the Nts have Kevin Durant, and when

733
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant's on the court, I assume that the nets

734
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: are probably going to win those minutes. Can the Celtics

735
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: beat the Nets in the course of eight minutes or

736
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: even fewer, Like Kevin Durant loves to play a ton

737
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 3: of minutes, They'll play forty minutes, no problem. He was

738
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: going fifty three in that overtime loss against the Bucks

739
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: last season. No problem for Kevin Durant really, So that's

740
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: a huge question to me. But I do think that

741
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: Robert Williams injury is massive here. A huge part of

742
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: the reason the Celtics were able to be the best

743
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: defense in the league this year is because they figured

744
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: out how to play with Horford and Williams both out there,

745
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: with Williams being a big time help guy and a

746
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: great switch guy like Horford and Tice are solid, But

747
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 3: if you're Kevin Durant, you're looking your chops if it's

748
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: Daniel Tice out there.

749
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: And I actually think.

750
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: That Kyrie Irving can probably hide on Daniel Tys, like

751
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: let him be the guy that shoots shots because he

752
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: ain't Robert Williams as a passer or a finisher, So

753
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: I think that that could be a place where you're

754
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: seeing some guards hide as well. The Celtics love to switch,

755
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: which forces the Nets into a ton of ISO situations,

756
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: and that got maybe the two best isolation players in

757
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: the league right now. Certainly Kevin Durant may be Kyrie Irving,

758
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 3: though sometimes with Kyrie it's a little bit inefficient, can

759
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: take him thirty shots to get thirty points. But I

760
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be just as tough for the Celtics

761
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: to stop the Nets as it is going to be

762
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: the other way around. So I think this one is

763
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: really a coin flip here. It probably comes down to

764
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: who's better in fourth quarters, Kevin Durant or Jason Tatum.

765
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go.

766
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: With Durant here nets in seven, but I mean this

767
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: one should be tight.

768
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

769
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: I saw Schuman again, who does a great job breaking

770
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: these down for NBA dot Com. You were talking about

771
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: the clutch stats Tass and Schuman was doing the deep

772
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: dive on that. You know, that's obviously pretty decent, especially

773
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: helps when you have Durant playing and Kyrie and the Celtics.

774
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: They just had all these games that they won by

775
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: twenty points or more, eighteen wins by twenty points or more.

776
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: But in those five point games, five minutes to go,

777
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty two overall, only the Pacers were worse.

778
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: According to Shoe, and Tatum shot two for twenty five

779
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: clutch three pointers. Marcus Smart was really bad on clutch twos.

780
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, if it's a tight game and Katie's playing hell,

781
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: and of course with Kyrie too, like both of those guys,

782
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna I'm gonna take Katie over Tatum every time.

783
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Right now, Still now, Tatum might this might be the

784
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: series tray where he's like, you know, he's gonna be

785
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: probably a top five m VP. He's been amazing, incredible,

786
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: even if some of those like clutch three pointers say otherwise.

787
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: But this could be the series where he's like, no,

788
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: I'm just there, you know, I'm I'm stepping step with

789
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: a guy like KD, which would be which is possible

790
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: and would be incredible to watch. But I'm with Trey

791
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: that I'm leading long series, close series, and the Ben

792
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: Simmons factor is fascinating. That's a whole other wrinkle along

793
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: with the time lord, but I'm going nets and seven

794
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: with Trey, So it sounds like we're split on this one.

795
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: Two bean Town boys and two two Brooklyn boys doesn't

796
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: have the same ring to it, Is that right?

797
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 2: So? So is that right? Lee? Who are you going?

798
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: Celtics and the money?

799
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell I actually think it's gonna be done

800
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 7: in five I'm being really impressed with the white Boston has,

801
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 7: and obviously Kevin Grant is so good, but I am

802
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 7: a little concerned that he's just going to play heavy,

803
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 7: heavy minutes and he's been injured this season, and I

804
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 7: think but part of that was because he's playing heavy

805
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 7: minutes and so he's if the balls if the game's

806
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 7: close at the end of the late. Obviously I sort

807
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 7: of tilt towards Kevin Durant there, But I just think

808
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 7: Boston's got too much depth, and I sort of think

809
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 7: they're going to get away from Brooklyn pretty early in

810
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 7: these ones. So I'm going, you know, pretty much opposite

811
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 7: of you guys. I'm going to Boston in five games here.

812
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 7: I think they're going to do it pretty easily.

813
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: Okay, And Tass where you go on Beantown and how many.

814
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 4: I like Boston and seven.

815
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 8: I think the Nets are good enough to ride their

816
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 8: big guys in Durant and Kyrie for lots of minutes

817
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 8: and get a couple wins in this series. But you know,

818
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 8: when it does come down to the fourth quarter, yeah,

819
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 8: of course you sided with the best.

820
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: One on one scorer in the world in Kevin Durant.

821
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 8: But I think the Celtics showed a good enough example

822
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 8: of the last few months that they're just going to

823
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 8: find the hole in the offense or the defense. And

824
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 8: I think the fact that the Nets haven't really had

825
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 8: enough reps together as a unit, as a you know,

826
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 8: when it comes to the playoffs, just to be on

827
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 8: a string, and I think the Celtics will find the whole.

828
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 8: I don't think Tatum is selfish enough to just say, hey,

829
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 8: it's my time. You know, if they can find Kyrie,

830
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 8: if they can find a smaller guard on Jalen Brown,

831
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 8: they're going to take advantage of that. I think they'll

832
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 8: do that. And when it comes down to the fourth quarters,

833
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 8: there is literally no one else who can guard Jason

834
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 8: Tatum on the Nets roster than Kevin Durant. They've just

835
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 8: got huge holes. You can throw a tiny Bruce brown On.

836
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 8: I'm sure you can throw Kessler Edwards out there. Sure,

837
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 8: I think that you might have a dusting of a

838
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 8: Blake Griffin or something, because they're just such a tiny

839
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 8: team without Ben Simmons out there. And that's why I

840
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 8: think the Nets would try to throw Ben Simmons out there,

841
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 8: because Kevin Durant literally has to guard Tatum almost every

842
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 8: second he's out there, and at least the Celtics have

843
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 8: some options to throw at Durant, even though you know

844
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 8: Kevin Durant is Kevin Durant. So the Celtics depth and

845
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 8: their camaraderie, their chemist I think is going to show

846
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 8: in this NET series because the Nets have just they've

847
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 8: just got it together the last couple weeks even and

848
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 8: I don't think they're that confident in their rotations right now,

849
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 8: and they shouldn't be, especially with their bigs coming off

850
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 8: the bench. Nick Claxon, I guess will be big in

851
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,479
Speaker 8: this series, but I don't know. I'm buying the Celtics depth.

852
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: Two more predictions I'll throw out there for this Celtics

853
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: Nets series. One, Jalen Brown is going to have monster

854
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: monster games. I think you were alluding to this task

855
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: early just because of matchup problems, I think he could have.

856
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: He might even have like a better overall numbers wise series,

857
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: scoring wise series than Tatum. Would not be shocked by

858
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: that at all. So that's one second, one try. You'll

859
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: like this because you got the nets and seven. Isn't

860
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: this just going to set up for a Game seven

861
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: where Ben Simmons has returned into this series, Game five, six, whatever,

862
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: there's three, there's four minutes left to go in a

863
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: tight game seven, and there's an opportunity for Ben. He

864
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: gets the ball in a similar position like he did

865
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: against the Hawks, and instead of passing it, instead of

866
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: being a little afraid to go to the liner score,

867
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: he dunks it. It's just gonna be there. I'm telling you.

868
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: It's almost like a year to a year to the day,

869
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: but pretty damn close. So he'll have a big moment,

870
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: a big Ben Simmons will score late in the game seven.

871
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 9: Everyone, Oh, he's fixed, he's good, Big Ben, A big

872
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 9: Ben moment, the new Big Ben.

873
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 3: He's walking around like he's Jordan out there skates, so

874
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 3: you know he'll come up in the clutch.

875
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: My prediction is that we don't see Ben Simmons. You

876
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: don't think he plays No, I think this is a

877
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: fake news interesting. I think this is a hey, don't

878
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: forget about me kind of news. We'll see.

879
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna wait till the finals to play.

880
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 2: Back in the most high leverage moments.

881
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 8: I know, it's just like just the further goes along.

882
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 8: How how how is it gonna happen?

883
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 4: He came back? Yeah, I mean if he came back.

884
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 8: Now, if he was a bench guy now, but game

885
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 8: four to game six, that's what I.

886
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: Buy. I buy this.

887
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: I think Ben Simmons is going to return in this series.

888
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: So I'll go on records say, and I think Sham's

889
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: has got this one right. Whoever he's talking to there,

890
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: that's weird. I'm not and I'm not. And it could

891
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: blow up in their face, like you were saying, Lee

892
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: h and Yodoka and Celtics should be all over him,

893
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: and they and they I believe they will and like

894
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: really rattle him and again do the hack of Ben,

895
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do.

896
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: But I think we're gonna see Ben Simmons in this series,

897
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 2: and it's.

898
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: Gonna make a series which was already entertaining on paper

899
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: like just go to the next level. This is gonna

900
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: be the one that everybody is like gonna be talking about,

901
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: like the most, I think from night to night. Here

902
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: in the first round the playoffs, it just sort of

903
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: feels that way just because of like the star power.

904
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: People still believe the Nets could win the championship.

905
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: Celtics have very easily win this series though, and knock

906
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: him out Man so much here, all right, let's hear

907
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: from the stream team.

908
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: Let's hear your predictions. Nets Celtics. Let's take a break.

909
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: When we come back, We're gonna set up tonight's playing

910
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: games and do like a big picture.

911
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 2: Look at the playoffs. Don't go in.

912
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: All right back with no dunks here Friday drop. We

913
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: got two games on tonight, tasks the play in games

914
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: Hawks Calves seven thirty pm Easter on ESPN. Winner faces

915
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: the Heat in round one, loser goes fishing. And then

916
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: the second game tonight Pelicans in LA to take on

917
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: the Clippers ten pm start on TNT. We got the

918
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: ESPN and the TNT game tonight. Winner faces the Suns

919
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday in game one of that first round series.

920
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: So my question tests we've.

921
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: Already talked a little bit about these games over the week,

922
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: But which road team you think is more likely to

923
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: win and become the eighth seed tonight?

924
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: Is it the Hawks or is it the Pelicans? What

925
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: do you think?

926
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 8: Well, the Hawks are a favorite on the road in Cleveland,

927
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 8: but I'm not buying that. I think both home teams

928
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 8: win tonight. I do think that Cleveland getting a little

929
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 8: disrespected right now because Jared Allen has been out for

930
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 8: so long, and maybe because they're just not on people's

931
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 8: radar like Trey Is. So people are putting their money

932
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 8: on the Atlanta Hawks. But Jared Allen's supposed to be

933
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 8: back tonight. He is supposed to give it a go

934
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 8: at the starting center spot, and that is huge. It

935
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 8: just kind of puts everybody in their appropriate spots where

936
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 8: they have to do less. You had rook Evan Mobley

937
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 8: featured on the first possession of a playing game.

938
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 4: They gave it to them in the post.

939
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 8: And that just won't happen with everybody in their proper spots.

940
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 8: You know, Larry Marketen, Isaaca Corro asked to do less.

941
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,720
Speaker 8: Carsel Vert come off the bench where you are perfect,

942
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 8: So I think that will help. I think the fact

943
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 8: that they just got a blasted forty to twenty in

944
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 8: that first quarter against the Brooklyn Nets in the playing

945
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 8: game was important. I think they won't let that happen again.

946
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 8: It's fresh and the Hawks they got it going against

947
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 8: the Charlotte Hornets in their playing game because the Hornets

948
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 8: just allowed them so much space and God allowed them

949
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 8: to get into their flow. They didn't look good in

950
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 8: the first quarter or the second quarter. They look good

951
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 8: in the third quarter because the Hornets were really bad defensively.

952
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 8: So I think the Cavs absolutely step that up. And

953
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 8: I think there's just good matchups across the board. Danilo

954
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 8: Gallinari is going to have to go against a seven footer,

955
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 8: whether it's Lowry Markinen or Evan Mobley and Calenwariy's not

956
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 8: going by anybody. I think he'll be slowed down. I

957
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 8: think he is one of the guys along with Herder

958
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 8: and Trey Young, that are ready for this moment, that

959
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 8: are ready to play for the Hawks. But I think

960
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 8: he's not going to play as well. But I think

961
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 8: there's a bunch of matchups across the board, inclusing Isaac Accoro.

962
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 8: I think will be asked to do less offensively. If

963
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 8: Jared Allen is in there, and he should probably start

964
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 8: on Trey Young.

965
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 4: I think JB.

966
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 8: Bickerstaff would be making a mistake by waiting, sort of

967
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 8: Doc River style like last year with when the Sixers

968
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 8: played the Hawks. If he waits till the second half,

969
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 8: even to put a better defender on Trey Young, I

970
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 8: think that will hurt.

971
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 4: And if you put.

972
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 8: Isaaccorro great defender, they're junky dog and Tree Young, I

973
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 8: think you can, you know, stay home at everybody else.

974
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 8: They won't double like the Charlotte Hornets did. But I

975
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 8: also like the Clippers. Thinking about it a little bit,

976
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 8: I think the Clippers against the Pels sort of a

977
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 8: similar thing where the Clippers had some fourth quarter mistakes

978
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 8: against the Wolves, bad defense, I think a breakaway donk.

979
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 8: I don't think that happens again. I think two weeks

980
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 8: ago these two teams played, so there's a template for

981
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 8: the Clippers. They'll probably do to Jonas valentn is what

982
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 8: they did to Karl Anthony Towns because they did that

983
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks ago. They'll have a small, switchy defense.

984
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 8: I think their defense will be prepared after being poopy

985
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 8: against the Timberwolves late, So I like both home teams.

986
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 8: Who the heck knows, though, I think both road teams

987
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 8: could easily win these games, right.

988
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, task picking against the Birds. A lot of

989
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: people in the stream team saying w's for the Birds tonight,

990
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: box and the Pelicans.

991
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 2: But of the two, which one do you think is

992
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: more likely? Well?

993
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 7: I do think it is Atlanta, And maybe there's a

994
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 7: little bit of home court bias because we were down there,

995
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 7: but that offense was looking pretty good against a nothing

996
00:44:58,840 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 7: defense there from the horn.

997
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 6: So I think, though, if the.

998
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 7: Hawks can get out there and get contributions from the

999
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 7: guys they got the other night because Gallinari was good,

1000
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 7: Hunter was good, Kevin where got them going because Trey

1001
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 7: Young didn't have a great game and he picked it

1002
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 7: up certainly in the second half. But I think that

1003
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 7: was really what was important here for Atlanta is they

1004
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 7: got other contributions from guys, and if they can get

1005
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 7: that again tonight.

1006
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 6: That's where they're going to win this game. I don't

1007
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 6: think it's going to be a defensive arm wrestler.

1008
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a bit of a

1009
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 7: sort of up and down, you know, run and gun

1010
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 7: type of game, and I think that does suit Atlanta.

1011
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 7: I think they can. They have an advantage in that spot,

1012
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 7: so I like them. They got a feel confident has

1013
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 7: mentioned their favorite, you know, the Pelicans for example of

1014
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 7: four point underdogs in Los Angeles, which is a bit

1015
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 7: of surprise. To be honest with me, I thought they'd

1016
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 7: be a little bit of a tidle line there, But

1017
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 7: I excuse me. I think the Calves are just a

1018
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 7: bit more vulnerable, mainly because I expect a much better

1019
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 7: performance from the Clippers, especially downstretch. Remember they led by

1020
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 7: ten points nine minutes to go in that game, and

1021
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 7: I think Tyler, when Karl Anthony Towns fat out, maybe

1022
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 7: they just took their foot off the gas. So they

1023
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 7: just thought, oh, we've got this game, you know. And

1024
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 7: they made a mistake really and the Wolves.

1025
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 6: Pounced on it. And now it is win or go home.

1026
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 7: So I think the Clippers are going to be a

1027
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 7: little bit tougher at home in front of their fans

1028
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 7: and knowing their seasons on bline. Having said that, I

1029
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 7: was super impressed with the Pelicans. I love the way

1030
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 7: that CJ led that team, especially in the second quarter.

1031
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 6: In the first half, I thought.

1032
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 7: Ingram was brilliant, and valentiunis if he can be huge

1033
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 7: and if he can dominate Zubats, I think that does

1034
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 7: help the Pels.

1035
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 6: And then they've got defensive player of the Year Herb Jones.

1036
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 6: Jose Alvarado.

1037
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 7: You know he's going to do something out there. He's

1038
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 7: going to find his way into this game. So I

1039
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 7: think it could be a double road sweep. You know,

1040
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 7: that wouldn't surprise you. I think, you know, both road

1041
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 7: teams have got to feel pretty good, Trey.

1042
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: Where are you going? Birds of a feather flock together?

1043
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 7: Lee?

1044
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why both of the bird teams could pull

1045
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 3: off the road ups. That's I'm kind of a half

1046
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 3: bird man at this point. I do think the Hawks

1047
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 3: can get to a higher level with their team currently

1048
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 3: than the Calves can. But the Calves are getting the

1049
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 3: emotional boost of having a home Corp game here.

1050
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: They're also getting Jared Allen back, and.

1051
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 3: TAS's right that the defensive upgrade from the Hornets to

1052
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: the Cavaliers, that's going to be a little bit of

1053
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 3: a wake up call for the Atlanta Hawks. But they

1054
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 3: seem to tap into a little bit of playoff intensity

1055
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 3: for this For that game against the Hornets, they came

1056
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 3: in and just blew them out in the third quarter,

1057
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 3: making the right play and just making the right play

1058
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 3: over and over again, getting good performances from basically all

1059
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: of their role players. I do think that they're going

1060
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 3: to still need to get good performances from their role players.

1061
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 2: If the Calves make it just.

1062
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 3: A Trey Young show, then I think that's obviously worse

1063
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 3: for the Calves because Gallinari points, Herder points, Bogdanovitch points,

1064
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 3: if these guys are hitting threes, they're a really tough

1065
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 3: team to beat. As for the Clippers, I just think

1066
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 3: the Clippers are actually a pretty solid team. They just

1067
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: blew it in the fourth quarter, which is something that

1068
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 3: we've seen happen before. But I think they'll have the

1069
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: requisite intensity to get into the actual playoffs here.

1070
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: They just need a good game from Paul George.

1071
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 3: He had a really good quarter in their first play

1072
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 3: in game against the two Wolves. I think he had

1073
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 3: seventeen in a quarter, and then he had seventeen and

1074
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 3: the other three quarters, which is fine, but the shooting

1075
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 3: percentages weren't great.

1076
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to have a little bit

1077
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: better game.

1078
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: Against the Pelicans here, so I think the Hawks are

1079
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: more likely to pull the upset. I'm gonna pick the Hawks,

1080
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 3: and I'm also gonna pick the Clippers as well.

1081
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm team Bird tonight on a Friday night. I think

1082
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: both are gonna win, both road teams. Actually, I'm back

1083
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: in Atlanta in Cleveland, and I like the Pelicans against

1084
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 1: the Clippers. You guys all made great points again against

1085
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: a four LA. Excuse me, but I just love McCullum

1086
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: and brandon ingram shop making. Right now, Valentunu is gonna

1087
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: do work inside again like they're gonna. Yeah, they're gonna

1088
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: try in front and throw doubles at him, but that's

1089
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: a big burly man and I think.

1090
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: He can handle it a little bit better in the sense.

1091
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: And as we saw sort of Cat get very flustered,

1092
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen with JV. So yeah,

1093
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take both team, both road teams to

1094
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: to get in there. And a part of that I

1095
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: think is maybe I I guess I'd prefer to see

1096
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: those teams in their in their matchups against the number

1097
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: one seeds in both conferences, not that.

1098
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna win.

1099
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pick any of these four teams to beat either,

1100
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: of course the Heat or the Suns. But I just

1101
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: think it might be more enjoyable to have the Hawks

1102
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: in there and go down to the Fortress and see

1103
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: a game, so to have them take on Miami, And

1104
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: I just think it'd be fun to see the Pearls

1105
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: give it a go against the Suns. I get maybe

1106
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: maybe win one game at most, but I just yeah,

1107
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: the Clippers, they don't do a lot for me. I

1108
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: just I don't find them to be all that much

1109
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: of an enjoyable watch. So on Team Birds tonight. But

1110
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: let's hear from everybody. Okay, we knew that was coming.

1111
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: He apologized.

1112
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 2: You throw a mouth.

1113
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: Guard and it hit somebody, you're getting a fine. Just

1114
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 3: smash it, just spike it on the court.

1115
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 2: I know he was. He was intending to hit.

1116
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 3: Hit a heckler, so respect to that, but you better.

1117
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: Have lightning accuracy.

1118
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: Even Steph Curry when he chucked his mouth guard, he

1119
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 3: hit a fan. These things are like fan magnets. If

1120
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: it comes out of your mouth, that's hitting somebody.

1121
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you ever think somebody will throw a mouthpiece

1122
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: and it will go into somebody else's no, it.

1123
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: Would have to be twins, like one Morris twin gets

1124
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 2: pissed shows guys.

1125
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we also had Patrick Beverley get fined thirty thousand

1126
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: dollars for inappropriate language.

1127
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what the NBA said on Thursday.

1128
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: Inappropriate statements, I guess was their exact terminology there for

1129
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: his ig live well regious use of profanity in a

1130
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: in a media interview and social media post following the game.

1131
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: What he said in the in the postgame press conference.

1132
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really what got him the fine here.

1133
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just basically saying, like I told

1134
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 1: him to take their ass home, is what he's saying

1135
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: about the Clipper.

1136
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine.

1137
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: But then, yes, he had an Instagram post it's been

1138
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: deleted since where he's calling them the weak ass Clippers

1139
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: and tell him to get the f out of here,

1140
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: and maybe I guess going a little too far for

1141
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: the NBA's liking. So thirty k lighter there Beverly's pockets.

1142
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: What do you think?

1143
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 3: I guess it had been a while since Patrick Beverley

1144
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 3: caught a fine, so it was about time.

1145
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: No, I didn't you get fined like a day before.

1146
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: That's a long time.

1147
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 3: It's a long time from Patrick Beverly twenty four to

1148
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 3: forty eight hours.

1149
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. Beverly.

1150
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 3: He's making He's making a million off this play in

1151
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 3: Championship win here, you know, between the celebrating, showing up

1152
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 3: on ESPN for his next day interviews wearing like a

1153
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: Versace robe.

1154
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: He's on top of the world right now.

1155
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 3: So thirty thousand dollars it's I guess totally worth it

1156
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 3: to hit.

1157
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: I think bud Light wanted to get him his own

1158
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: beer can to Yeah.

1159
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 6: That's a punishment in itself.

1160
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 2: Oh boy, here we go. Here comes the beer snub.

1161
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: All right. So there's that. And then this.

1162
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: Is probably the most important news of the bunch, Steph Curry.

1163
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: According to Kendra Andrews, He's participated in the Warrior's scrimmage

1164
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: there on Thursday and the team is feeling optimistic he's

1165
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: going to be available for Game one on Saturday. He's

1166
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: been out since March sixteenth with a sprained ligament in

1167
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: his left foot. So yeah, thoughts on Curry possibly playing

1168
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: in Game one?

1169
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 2: What do you think I think he's going to play?

1170
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 2: He also told Draymond on his podcast. Steph did that.

1171
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 3: He's very optimistic he's going to play, so pretty solid

1172
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 3: source as well there. I think he's going to be

1173
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 3: effective just because it's Steph Curry. If he's out there

1174
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: running around, he has gravity. If he's a catch and

1175
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 3: shoot player, he obviously has gravity and he'll still be

1176
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 3: able to shoot.

1177
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: But I still think.

1178
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 3: The Warriors probably benefit by letting Jordan Poole be the

1179
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 3: Steph Curry a lot during Game one, just so that

1180
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 3: they can kind of manage Curry's foot and see how

1181
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 3: it responds to playing in an actual competitive basketball game.

1182
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 3: It also gives the Warriors a chance to kind of

1183
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 3: unlock that lineup with Steph, clay Pool, Draymond and player

1184
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 3: to be named later, build confidence because that's been a

1185
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 3: solid lineup for the Warriors this season. They just haven't

1186
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 3: been able to run it out there for a while.

1187
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 3: So I think that that's the smart move. Bring Steph

1188
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 3: Curry back, let him be ninety five percent of what

1189
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 3: you're expecting from Steph Curry, knowing that you've got MVP

1190
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 3: Steph waiting. As soon as he's able to shake off

1191
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 3: the rust and prove that he's good to go for

1192
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 3: the rest of the playoffs.

1193
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, task any thoughts here on Curry being optimistic that

1194
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: he goes on in the first game here on the weekend.

1195
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 4: He's right a role man.

1196
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 8: He's playing four on Oh, I think out there watching

1197
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 8: the footage, he is actually sprinting around. He's doing more

1198
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 8: than Ben Simmons. The timeline was if he had had

1199
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,919
Speaker 8: to have played even earlier this week, it sure looked

1200
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 8: like he could have in terms of the timeline when

1201
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 8: he was he actually was injured. So I do think

1202
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 8: he goes and yeah, he number one, he always plays

1203
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 8: off the ball, number two. Now they've got Jordan Poole

1204
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 8: carrying the offense a lot, being the point guard a lot,

1205
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 8: and with Draymond to lean on, you, Steph can play

1206
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 8: off the ball even more so. And so that's just

1207
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 8: another weapons. It's scary times. It kind of just changes

1208
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 8: the things. It changes the equation for the Nuggets a

1209
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 8: little bit because it's something that they haven't seen. If

1210
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 8: Steph plays even more so off the ball. So it's uh,

1211
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 8: I'm sure the Warriors, you know, may take a little

1212
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 8: bit to get going with this new offense, but they're

1213
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 8: pumped to have this sort of different iteration of their team,

1214
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 8: with Jordan Poole being such a huge part of it

1215
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 8: along with Clay Steph Draymond.

1216
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: Back to the Beverly News therely Sam p Here on

1217
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: the stream team saying bud lights should.

Speaker 2: Have a bud lee Can you think about that?

1219
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I could use it to piss into it.

1220
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: That's how the bud Lee can is.

1221

Speaker 1: You're yeah, I hope it's not a tall boy. I

1222
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't want this leap pist to go dry.

1223
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 7: I still think you drink that can before you drink

1224
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 7: a can of bud Light. It was funny when I

1225
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 7: was checking leaving a Ruber airport. Uh, there was you know,

1226
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 7: a big group of tourists of France and these American guys,

1227
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 7: and someone said.

1228
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,479

00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 6: Anyway, but you're in a Ruber, drink something else.

00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't expecting that, but for their bud light. Okay,

1237
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: let's get to some questions about the weekend. Here we

1238
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: got we got eight games on this weekend. It's going

1239
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: to be crazy Game one for every series on Saturday

1240
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: and Sunday. So the first question I had Lee, and

1241
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: this for everybody in stream ting everybody listening to the

1242
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: podcast later.

1243
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: Just which game one are you most excited for? And

1244
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: why freaking up?

1245
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 7: The Raptor Sixer series I think is going to be

1246
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 7: so spicy. Pardon the pun or include that's a good pun.

1247
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 7: Isn't it really unspicy? P I just really think this

1248
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 7: one could have massive reverberations around the Philadelphia seventy Sixers franchise,

1249
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 7: their favorite they're the home court, They've got Joel and

1250
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 7: be the best individual player in the series, and as

1251
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 7: we've talked about this week, in games this season against

1252
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 7: the Raptors, when he's played the minutes he's been on

1253
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 7: the court, the Sixers have won, but they haven't really

1254
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 7: been able to win the minutes without him, And I

1255
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 7: just think that is going to be huge in this series,

1256
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 7: because if you're Nick Nurse, you know they're going to

1257
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 7: throw multiple looks at him, and you know when BID's

1258
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 7: going to go for his thirty thirty five whatever, But

1259
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 7: he can't really, he's just not the sort of guy

1260
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 7: who I can see playing forty five, forty six minutes,

1261
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 7: especially if this is a long series. He's probably going

1262
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 7: to tap out at around thirty eight thirty nine minutes,

1263
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 7: which leaves the Sixers very, very vulnerable for eight nine,

1264
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 7: possibly ten minutes per game. And then you're relying on

1265
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 7: guys like James Harden who hasn't really shown he's got

1266
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 7: that pep in his step so far and his time

1267
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 7: since coming over two months ago in the trade. And

1268
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 7: then you've got guys like Tobias Harris, another guy doesn't

1269
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 7: really step up in the playoffs. He has his moments

1270
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 7: here and there, but are you relying on him to

1271
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,720
Speaker 7: get you those you know, crucial minutes while jellywellen Beid

1272
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 7: sits down. Tyris Max he's been very very good for them.

1273
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 7: Matisse Tibles also an X factor in this series because

1274
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 7: if he has a positive impact in these first two games,

1275
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 7: let's say he defends Pascal Siakam and shuts him down,

1276
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 7: he can't play in Toronto and how big of a

1277
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 7: factor could that potentially be here for Philadelphia? If matisse

1278
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 7: Tible can't play in three out of seven games, If

1279
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 7: it goes that far, they might miss him. Maybe they don't.

1280
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 7: Maybe Doc Rivers said after the last game when they

1281
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 7: lost to the Raptors, Matisseiber wouldn't have made any impact,

1282
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 7: So maybe he doesn't.

1283
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 6: Who knows that?

1284
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 2: But also how you build confidence?

1285
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Yes, don't need this case anyway, we don't.

1286
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 7: But that's also brings me to Doc Rivers because Doc

1287
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 7: Rivers is someone who has very questionable playoffs sort of

1288
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 7: close outs, you know, coaching his team. He's he's led

1289
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 7: the league in most three to one blown. He took

1290
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 7: a lot of heat after what they what happened to

1291
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 7: them against the Atlanta Hawks last season. So I think

1292
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 7: this one is right here for the Raptors.

1293
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 6: I love them.

1294
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 7: I've talked about how I think the Raptors can devour

1295
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 7: them winning five. Yeah, I probably tried to walk that

1296
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 7: back a little bit. But now I'm in and I'm

1297
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 7: going chips in the table. I say the Raptors do

1298
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 7: in this, and I think, especially what could happen here

1299
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 7: the Sixers, I think of the team that most likely

1300
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 7: to implode of any playoff team right now, because if

1301
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 7: they drop game on and let's say game one is

1302
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 7: a bit of a disaster, you know, comfortable Raptors victory.

1303
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 7: You know, the Sixers fans are going to be very

1304
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,919
Speaker 7: nervous and they're going to get on their own team,

1305
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 7: and that we've already seen this season. Tobias Harris has

1306
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 7: had a little bit there with the crowd, and the

1307
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 7: fans are just not going to be patient with this team.

1308
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 7: They're going to expect James Harden to step up immediately.

1309
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 7: They're going to expect everybody to contribute outside of Joelabie,

1310
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 7: who you know is going to do it. So this

1311
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 7: is a fascinating series. I've picked the Raptors in five.

1312
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 7: I'm sticking with it, but it could be very, very

1313
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 7: juicy this one.

1314
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So he's taken the nurse over the dock.

1315
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 4: Yes like that.

1316
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 2: Nurses run the hospital. Everybody knows that. Uh tas What

1317
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: series are you most excited for?

1318
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 8: And why Raptors in five? You're insane? Man is crazy.

1319
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 8: The Sixers are going to blode that bad. Can't wait, though,

1320
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 8: That's going to be fine. Listen, it's playoff basketball time

1321
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 8: and I'm just ready. I'm ready for Game one MAVs Jazz.

1322
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 8: Even though Luka Doncic will not.

1323
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: Be playing in Game one.

1324
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 8: I'm just ready for playoff basketball, and I believe in

1325
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 8: the MAVs continuity over the jazz lack of continuity. I

1326
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 8: think the Jazz just not all that mentally tough. They

1327
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 8: don't fight back if they get down big. Last time

1328
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 8: I checked their four and twenty two when they go

1329
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 8: down double digits. That's the worst mark of any team

1330
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 8: still playing. That's a John Schumann staff for you. And

1331
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 8: things get tougher in the playoffs. So are you going

1332
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 8: to get mentally tougher come postseason?

1333
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 4: I doubt it.

1334
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 8: I think the Mas win the series no matter how

1335
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 8: many games Luca plays when it comes down to it.

1336
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 8: They got to get him back at some point, for sure.

1337
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 8: But I'm ready. One Eastern MAVs Jazz. Then we got

1338
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 8: a Grizz Wolves. I thought, you know, it's just a

1339
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 8: great start to the postseason. But looking at that one

1340
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 8: Eastern start time, you know, kind of screwing with both

1341
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 8: those teams.

1342
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: That's pretty freaking early Jazz, that's.

1343
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 8: Eleven am local time, twelve for the Dallas Mavericks.

1344
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 4: That is early, you know, at twelve.

1345
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 8: I think Spencer Dinwiddy is going to have a good

1346
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 8: series if Luke of plays or not. But twelve that's early.

1347
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 8: He'll have just finished his delicious breakfast sandwich from Eggs

1348
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 8: lut as we saw him eat once.

1349
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 5: I mean that's really.

1350
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 2: I do love it.

1351
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: I both want to mow down it every time, but

1352
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I as every time. Okay, So you test is fun

1353
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: for the first one. I love that answer, Trey, which

1354
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: series are you really really excited for this weekend?

1355
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 10: Mom?

1356
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: I'm a sick o skeatzee.

1357
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm like tass, I'm excited for all of them. Laura

1358
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 3: keeps asking me about making plans for this weekend. She'll

1359
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 3: be like, uh, you want to go bowling.

1360
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: With Katie and Parker Saturday?

1361
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 3: I like you, No, it's the playoffs.

1362
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 2: Do you want to got bullying? Go for it?

1363
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 3: Throw some strikes down. So I ranked my top six

1364
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 3: right now because we don't know the last two. Number

1365
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 3: one Homer pick Bucks versus Bulls. This is probably everybody's

1366
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 3: least anticipated series. Yes, my big, but it's been five years,

1367
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 3: so I'm excited, so shut up. Number two Sixers Raptors,

1368
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 3: Number three Celtics Nets. This feels like I saw somebody

1369
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 3: in the stream team earlier. Compare it to Patrick Mahomes

1370
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: versus Josh Allen wow AFC game last year that was

1371
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 3: a classic where it felt like a couple of championship

1372
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 3: contenders going head to head a little too early. So

1373
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 3: I like that one. Grizzlies timber Wolves. I've got at

1374
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 3: the four slot, MAVs Jazz at number five, only going

1375
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 3: down because of the Luca injury, and then Warriors Nuggets

1376
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 3: is my least anticipated first round series so far, just

1377
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 3: because this kind of feels like a wait till next

1378
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 3: year series or a wait till last year series where

1379
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 3: it felt like the Nuggets had a chance up until

1380
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray getting injured. I think it was actually against

1381
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 3: the Warriors. We don't know exactly what the Warriors are

1382
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: going to look like now, so it just kind of

1383
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 3: feels like.

1384
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 2: A holding series to me. But it's awesome.

1385
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 3: Man, first weekend of the playoffs, it's our NCAA tournament.

1386
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 2: You're watching basketball thirteen hours straight. That's good stuff. Yeah.

1387
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 2: I hate about this play in tournament.

1388
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: I've just realized is we're still waiting to find out

1389
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: who the hell the last teams are in the actual playoffs,

1390
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: and it's Friday night and the playoffs start this weekend,

1391
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: so it sucks for us tasks in the programming of

1392
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: our show. It's like, we're not gonna be on record

1393
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: here on the podcast at least with our one eight

1394
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: breakdown and predictions. I mean, I'm sure we'll all jump

1395
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter and share who he think is gonna win

1396
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: and how many games. But it's like it is it's

1397
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: like right up against it, you know, And I guess

1398
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: that's the disadvantage of being in the play and it's like,

1399
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: all right, now you got to turn around and play

1400
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the best team in each conference. But sort of weird.

1401
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,959
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it, even though we don't even

1402
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: know the full playoff bracket.

1403
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 8: I thought they would get it done on Thursday night

1404
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 8: and give us a day here, but I guess not again,

1405
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 8: I forced it, forcing these two teams to go into

1406
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 8: their Sunday light up because they're.

1407
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 4: Not going to play on back to backs.

1408
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 8: But I figured that that the NBA wants to schedule

1409
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 8: their one to eight on a Saturday. Potentially they want

1410
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 8: their scheduled day way they want it, So I thought

1411
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 8: it be done on Thursday.

1412
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1413
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 8: I'm not in the schedule in department, but maybe they'll

1414
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 8: give me a call next year. I think they should

1415
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 8: they should end it on a Thursday.

1416
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, what about the flip side skates?

1417
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: Do you buy that it is a disadvantage for the

1418
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 3: first seeds to not know their playoff upon it until

1419
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 3: two days before.

1420
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see how it couldn't be a

1421
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: small disadvantage to not really know who you're playing. But

1422
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: then it's like they're the number one seed, they're playing

1423
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: teams that are like, in some cases ten games below

1424
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: five hundreds. So it's like I'm sure they're like, we

1425
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: don't give a damn who we're playing, Like, let's just go.

1426
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, a little bit, I find that part a

1427
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: little strange.

1428
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I agree.

1429
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 3: I think in the Sun's case, they don't care, Like

1430
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 3: I don't know who the Sons are going to play.

1431
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 3: But I mean, if the Heat get the Hawks, like

1432
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 3: the Hawks are a team that went to the conference

1433
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 3: finals last year and they and they got to play

1434
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 3: against that, he gotta play against them. That's a solid team.

1435
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 3: Maybe it more so matters when the bottom of the

1436
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 3: conference is actually good.

1437
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's just more work for their like scouting

1438
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: departments and stuff like that, and like game planning. They

1439
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: have to like get ready for multiple teams instead of

1440
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: just like focusing in on one. But again, I don't

1441
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: think it's really truly going to matter. I think both

1442
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: number one seeds will win their series no matter who

1443
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: they're playing.

1444
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:14,479
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is weird.

1445
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: That's why I like, I've come around on the idea.

1446
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: I know Zilla is a big fan of it, like

1447
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: picking your opponent, like where you finished there, you get

1448
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, you're the first seed, you get to pick

1449
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: who you want and stuff like that.

1450
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 2: But maybe down the line.

1451
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: All right, one more question here with the playoffs. Fun

1452
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: one for everyone role player to watch for this weekend. Okay,

1453
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: you know the Stars, Yeah, they're gonna probably ball out,

1454
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: but like get into the nitty gritty if you really

1455
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: want TK who's just like someone that could surprise you

1456
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: little Crystal ball here Monday morning, we could be talking

1457
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: about x as this like crazy performance from this role player?

1458
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 2: Who you got?

1459
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you consider these guys role players,

1460
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 3: but task mentioned Luka doncc expected to miss Game one against.

1461
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 2: The Jazz there per Shawn Sarani.

1462
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 3: So I'm watching Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson the MAVs

1463
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 3: are still going to play small so I consider them,

1464
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 3: you know.

1465
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they're probably going to be the stars.

1466
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 3: For the Mavericks as long as Luca's out, but they're

1467
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 3: role players in a general sense. MAVs, they're gonna play

1468
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 3: small ball. They're going to try and stretch out the Jazz.

1469
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 3: They're going to shoot a whole bunch of threes, But

1470
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 3: then you still need somebody to get to the rim.

1471
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 3: They still need distributing the ball to the shooters, and

1472
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: it would be nice if somebody can kind of replace

1473
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,959
Speaker 3: Luca's eight free throw attempts a game. The good news

1474
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 3: for the MAVs they've played pretty well with Dinwitti and

1475
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 3: Brunson on the court and Dontuc off the court. Both

1476
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 3: of those guys can take on a little bit more responsibility.

1477
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 3: Dinwitty has thrived in those situations, Brunts in a little

1478
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 3: less so. But they're still winning those minutes pretty convincingly.

1479
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 3: But it's only been about two hundred minutes total, and

1480
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 3: they're going to be going against the Jazz, a really

1481
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 3: solid defensive team in the playoffs when things are slow,

1482
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 3: and both Dinwitty and Brunson have kind of struggled in

1483
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 3: the pick and roll against Utah. So this is a

1484
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 3: little bit of a blessing for the Jazz because I

1485
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 3: think Game one is absolutely massive in this series. The

1486
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 3: Jazz have to win this series or it feels like

1487
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 3: this end of the era of the Jazz is over.

1488
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 3: The Luca injury kind of evens the playing field, I

1489
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 3: think here, but it sounds ridiculous and only knowing for

1490
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 3: sure that Luca is gonna miss one game, is Game

1491
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 3: one a must win for the Jazz.

1492
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 2: I kind of think it is.

1493
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, they have to get one of the first two,

1494
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 3: and they know that there's gonna be no Donchic, so

1495
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 3: they've got their best opportunity right away. It's a lot

1496
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 3: of pressure, yeah, for eleven am local time on the

1497
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 3: road too, right like they're gonna be thrown off, no

1498
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 3: doubt about it.

1499
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a weird start time. But they should

1500
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 2: win that game. The Jazz should.

1501
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 3: We'll see if Dunwiddy, Dunewitty, Dnwitti and Brunson are able

1502
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 3: to put something together because they both have to be

1503
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 3: pretty good to approximate what they do on any given night.

1504
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 2: Plus what they're replacing with Luca. Okay, I like that.

1505
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: That's fine.

1506
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: Definitely, you know, role players in this sense. I'm just like,

1507
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: I just want to avoid like the superstars and the

1508
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: l NBA guys. So, tass, who do you have? Who's

1509
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: somebody that might surprise us all this weekend?

1510
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm going slightly deep.

1511
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 8: I'm going to the Bucks Bulls series, and I'm going

1512
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 8: with my Wesley Matthews. You guys are taking turns being Homers.

1513
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 8: Trey excited for the Bulls. Obviously, Lee picking the Hawks

1514
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 8: and their sixteen and twenty five road record because he

1515
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 8: wants to go see a game.

1516
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 4: I get it. Well, I'm cheering for.

1517
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 8: Wesley Matthews because he's become their starter in Milwaukee as

1518
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 8: their starting shooting guard and.

1519
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 4: Steal the show as a role player.

1520
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 8: That's a little bit strong. I doubt wesll Matthew's going

1521
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 8: to steal the show. But you know, if they go

1522
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 8: on to the NBA Finals, they go on to win

1523
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 8: this thing, He's going to be like their Deshaun Stevenson

1524
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 8: that won a title with the MAVs in twenty eleven.

1525
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 8: He's going to be there playing twenty four minutes a

1526
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 8: game of all the teams that are left in the postseason.

1527
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 8: The Bulls have the worst opponent three point percentage, and

1528
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 8: that's what Wesley's got out of line up. And you know,

1529
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 8: he missed the Bucks championship last season, although he was

1530
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 8: a Buck the previous season.

1531
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 4: So I'm in his corner. He could get hot.

1532
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 8: He could have a fifteen point night, he could have

1533
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 8: a seventeen point night. Yeah, he could have a nineteen

1534
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 8: point night. But he also shares those minutes where he's

1535
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 8: not going for a twenty.

1536
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 2: He's let's pull it odd number two. Yeah, yeah, it

1537
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 2: would be Yeah, the seventeen or nineteen he do.

1538
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 4: I hit it too, or go to the line. Good

1539
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 4: math there. But he also shares time with Grayson Allen

1540
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 4: pet Con. It's in his back.

1541
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 8: So this is this is his time to shine though

1542
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 8: against a team that against the Bulls that just allows

1543
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 8: three pointers, he do it.

1544
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 4: He can do it.

1545
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 8: And since since i've I've you know, I played some

1546
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 8: of the hits with my eggs lut comment from Spencer Dinwiddie.

1547
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 8: Let me show this old photo of myself and Wesley Matthews,

1548
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 8: two young kids, my boy Wes, as we met.

1549
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 4: In an airport and shot it for a bit. Look

1550
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 4: at those headphones he's got.

1551
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 2: That's Max Struce. All right.

1552
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: What's the Matthews role player to watch for in the

1553
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Bucks Bulls game one this weekend?

1554
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 2: What about Ulie?

1555
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 4: Well?

1556
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 7: Wow, he was sticking with time as why not guy

1557
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 7: with Patty Mills there in Brooklyn, Because honestly, they are

1558
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 7: going to need someone Brooklyn to sort of help out

1559
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 7: a bit. And you know, we know Kyrie and Kevin

1560
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 7: Brown are going to take the bulk of the heavy

1561
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 7: lifting on the offensive end. But Paddi Mills is a

1562
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 7: good playoff performer and he also stepped up for Australia

1563
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 7: at the Way Olympics last year, had forty two points

1564
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 7: in the bronze medal game, so you know Paddy knows

1565
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 7: how to deliver it. But also because Seth Curry, you know,

1566
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 7: I think Seth Curry is obviously a better player, but

1567
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 7: his injury history is a bit of a concern there,

1568
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 7: and Paddy is going to step up in the moment,

1569
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 7: I think, So I'd like to see him have a

1570
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 7: good game, not too good a game, especially when you

1571
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 7: pick the Celtics in five.

1572
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 6: You don't want to see them.

1573
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 7: Lose that first game and have them have to douchebag

1574
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 7: it from there, but I do. I do think because

1575
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 7: he started off incredibly well there in Brooklyn, his second

1576
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 7: half the season wasn't as good. He looked like he

1577
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 7: was actually slowing down a little bit and maybe a

1578
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 7: little bit fatigued from so much basketball. He's thirty three

1579
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 7: years old now, but I do believe Paddy is a

1580
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 7: big time performer. He hasn't been to the playoffs since

1581
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 7: twenty nineteen with the Spurs. But again, this is an

1582
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 7: opportunity where there's going to be shots. They're going to

1583
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 7: need someone else to knock him down, and Patty's gonna

1584
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 7: be coming around off those screens and he's gonna get

1585
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 7: plenty of opportunities, so hopefully he can deliver up.

1586
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll double down on my Malik Beasley pick to

1587
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 1: a guy that could have a dominant game one Malik

1588
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: threeslely there for the Wolves's gonna be important that they

1589
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: can stretch the floor and knock them down, simple as that.

1590
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: We'll see if you can have an awesome game, and

1591
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: maybe they can, yeah, pull off the quote unquote upset

1592
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: that game one against the Grizzlies and then bye God,

1593
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: we would we'd be in for one hell of a

1594
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: series if that does happen.

1595
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 2: So that's where I'll go. Let's hear from everybody in

1596
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 2: the stream team.

1597
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna take one more break when we come back,

1598
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: tweet the Night and rapid fire, don't go anywhere.

Speaker 8: The emoji i'd want to add to my life, well,

1723
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,559

01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 8: you sure emoji like you know, like a sort of

1725
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 8: an eyebrow up like a rock emoji. Whenever I'm making

1726
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 8: a choice, like whenever I need to do something. Yeah,

1727
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 8: I want that to pop up when I'm thinking about

1728
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 8: this question. I got to add an emoji to my life. Yeah,

1729

1730
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 8: eyebrow up emoji, but it doesn't do enough for me.

1731
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 2: I like, I like this guy.

Speaker 5: Mine is hurry up. Like when I'm I spend a

1735
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,679
Speaker 5: lot of time waiting for my kids in the car

1736
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 5: or whatever, or just waiting for them to you know,

1739
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 5: Like not the clapping emoji, but the back of the hand,

1740
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 5: like let's get going that kind of thing, and I, yeah, well,

1741
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 5: we use a lot of gifts around here. Emojis just

1742
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 5: don't do it. They don't cut it, you.

1743
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 6: Know, okay? Question two.

1744
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 7: On Tuesday night, Patrick Beverley celebrated the Timberwolves win over

1745
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 7: the Clippers by jumping up on the score at the table,

1746
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 7: taking his jersey or throwing it into the ground, stomping

1747
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 7: around on the court for several minutes after the game.

1748
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 7: But all the all the win meant was a first

1749
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 7: round matchup against the number two seed Memphis Grizzlies, who

1750
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 7: were favorites to win that series. So when the time

1751
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 7: you excessively celebrated a relatively minor success, straight performing.

1752
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 3: Timber Wolves of Minnesota got it done. First take thought

1753
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:13,919
Speaker 3: it was great, liked every comment, retweeted every comment, hearts

1754
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 3: no dunks approves, and I listened to it back.

1755
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 2: And the first verse was.

1756
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 3: Very good, and it sounded better in studio, I think,

1757
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 3: probably because the guitar was overwhelming the backing track, and

1758
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,600
Speaker 3: you couldn't hear the fact.

1759
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 2: That on the third and fourth vote versus I.

1760
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 3: Came in an entire measure early and then played it

1761
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 3: too fast.

1762
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 2: But other than that, it was there.

1763
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: Was a part when you were doing it and like, yeah,

1764
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: we're hearing it in our ears the backing track, and

1765
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he hearing something different?

1766
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 3: As it went on, it was so far off and

1767
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 3: it was so far off, and it was so far off.

1768
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 3: I was hearing it, but I wasn't at like I

1769
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,440
Speaker 3: was here that it was happening, and I was like this,

1770
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 3: this seems like the beine in the tempo.

1771
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with it. I'm not gonna stop

1772
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 2: and start over. We're gonna kinda write it out here.

1773
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,719
Speaker 3: So if the Wolves go to the NBA Final, we'll

1774
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 3: record a proper version, actual backing track, maybe music video, Yeah, yeah,

1775
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 3: a full music video. We can get all of the

1776
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 3: Doyle Boys to learn various instruments and on a performance,

1777
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 3: and maybe get.

1778
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 6: A tattoo as well. You can get too, sure?

1779
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 3: Why not?

1780
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so glad.

1781
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 8: I had a perfect experience then because I turned down

1782
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 8: my headphones entirely, so I didn't hear the backtracking at

1783
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 8: all because we had some feedback bouncing around from somewhere,

1784
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 8: so I just turned mine down. So I'm so glad

1785
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,880
Speaker 8: that happened because I thought it was perfect. Live it

1786
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 8: with the guitar was perfect.

1787
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:53,759
Speaker 7: Whimen's the time you overly celebrated a relatively minor success.

1788
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 8: Well, you guys, remember what we were given right when

1789
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,959
Speaker 8: we got to NBA TV. It was that half Canadian,

1790
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 8: half American fla in that huge frame. The frame weighed

1791
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 8: like a billion pounds. I got our man, Mike cap

1792
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 8: Land to go into our office and pull it out

1793
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:11,600
Speaker 8: and give it to me, and I finally hung it

1794
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 8: up this week. Found a couple studs and put that

1795
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 8: thing up. And it was pretty easy when it came

1796
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 8: down to it. But I'm I'm not much of a hangar.

1797
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 8: So it got up. I celebrated, and as even a

1798
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 8: fan of ours who is a vexillologist email the Vexillology

1799
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 8: the Study of Flags. If you remember a few months ago,

1800
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 8: he saw a photo of it. He said, vexolologically speaking,

1801
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 8: there's somebody else and there he said, bacologically speaking, that

1802
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 8: thing is beautiful, and I entirely agreed. Danielle didn't want

1803
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 8: me to put it up. She said, where are you

1804
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 8: going to put in our house? You're not going to

1805
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 8: put a double flag in our house. Well, I put

1806
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 8: it outside. I saluted, just like Trey does his bull flag.

1807
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 4: No, I put it.

1808
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 8: I put it in the garage in the gym, perfect gym,

1809
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 8: perfect gym equipment, Jim flag.

1810
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, why wouldn't you put it in

1811
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 2: your house?

1812
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: You're part of your wife's American you're a Canadian, Like,

1813
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: it's that's awesome.

1814
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's fire, is it?

1815
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, yeah, sort of, I guess. But anyways,

1816
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 4: it's vexiollogically speaking, it's very nice. So I had to

1817
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 4: put it up.

1818
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:25,480
Speaker 7: When was the time you celebrate a relatively minor success.

1819
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 5: Well, it's not, it's not me. It was over the

1820
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:32,919
Speaker 5: my Mexican vacation was a family affair and my my nephew,

1821
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 5: my brother and his wife and my nephew was there,

1822
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 5: who's four, and my kids Lincoln and Jackson, who are

1823
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 5: Lincoln almost sixteen and Jackson just termed fourteen. They were

1824
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:51,520
Speaker 5: playing basketball together on a mini hoop basically, and Harrison

1825
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 5: four on offense against Lincoln and Jackson who were on defense.

1826
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 5: And it was basically like the Monstars versus tweety, right,

1827
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 5: So you know, Harrison taking the ball traveling all the

1828
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 5: way but they let it go. They let that go.

1829
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 5: He tried to dunk the ball in the mini hoop

1830
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 5: and Lincoln just bats it out of his hand, and

1831
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 5: they were both like, and they're pure, they're month, they're

1832
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 5: they're huge. Now Lincoln six to two, you know, like Lincoln,

1833
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 5: your friend by the pool, and you know, he did

1834
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 5: not take it very well. It was there was there

1835
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 5: were some tears and then they felt bad and they

1836
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 5: were like, should I apologize? Like yeah, maybe, but you

1837
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 5: know it's fine. It's you know, if he's gonna play

1838
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 5: with the big boys, is gonna get better. You get better.

1839
01:23:55,280 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 5: So everybody was fine, but it was it was a

1840
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 5: bit much that came to mind when you owsed this question.

1841
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 6: Okay, last question.

1842
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 7: He's sticking with Patrick Beverley because at the post game

1843
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 7: press conference after Tuesday's game, he continued to talk about

1844
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 7: how much the game meant to him because he was

1845
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 7: on the Clippers last season and he felt like he

1846
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 7: was treated badly by the organization off but he said

1847
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 7: he gave blood, sweat and teas to them. Okay, guys,

1848
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 7: let's get diddy, let's get nasty. When was the time

01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 7: you got revenge on somebody tray.

1850
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 3: Back in college, there was a big rivalry between the

1851
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 3: basketball bros and the football bros. And we met up

1852
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 3: in the semi finals of our Whippleball Intramural Championship.

1853
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,679
Speaker 2: We'd had a lot of drama during.

1854
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 3: The football season because a lot of US basketball bros

1855
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 3: did work for the school paper. Our football team was

1856
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,719
Speaker 3: like one of the worst football teams in the nation,

1857
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 3: like losing by sixty points on the regular so their

1858
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 3: star was pretty pissed, especially at like our second basement.

1859
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 3: He's like, you guys are a bunch of weasels. I'll

1860
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 3: never forget to call us weasels. Is one of the

1861
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 3: funniest things. We met up in the semi finals. This

1862
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 3: guy is on the mound pitching to Mike Schmidt. Not

1863
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 3: not the baseball player, not the legend. Yeah, not the legend,

1864
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 3: just this dude. He winds up, gets ready to throw

1865
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 3: the pitch, says game over, throws the pitch, Schmidt hits it.

1866
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 3: There's errors all around. Pat Murphy scores from first.

1867
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 10: We take the win, and we're just talking shitas now,

1868
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:36,839
Speaker 10: kevinas So we went to the finals and we we

1869
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,240

1870
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 10: the in the championship series hit two Dingers, and then we.

1871
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 2: We over celebrated Patrick Beverley's style. I remember just like

1872
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 2: eating nachos in Ben.

1873
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 3: That was like, that was the banking celebration. Was like

1874
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 3: at the end of the night, we just had a

1875
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 3: bunch of nachos laying around.

1876
01:25:54,280 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 2: We're doing our bunk talk Ben, good times, good like bad.

1877
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 2: I asked, that's right, weasels. That's an awesome that was

1878
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 2: an awesome insult. Funny way, when.

1879
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 6: Did you get revenge?

1880
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 8: That's funny you bring up late night eats tray because

1881
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 8: Danielle always says, I'm really good at eating our little

1882
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 8: kids snacks. There their special foods that nobody's supposed to touch. Well, Wednesday,

1883
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 8: we went the basketball game. I didn't have any dinner,

1884
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 8: so I was home. I was hungry when I got home,

1885
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 8: so I went into their stash and I showed her

1886
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 8: I ate all of their little jingle Jangle snack from

1887
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 8: Trader Joe's. So am I just proving her point, I guess.

1888
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 8: But at the same time I showed her I don't care.

1889
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 8: I don't care if you tell me this that I

1890
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 8: eat their snacks. I love that jingle Jangle snacks. I

1891
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 8: was surprised how much I ate, but I was starving.

1892
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 8: I didn't get I didn't I should have gone like Lee,

1893
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 8: and I guess I don't know if the rest of

1894
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 8: you guys did. There were some freebies or some popcorn.

1895
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:03,719
Speaker 8: There was some a grill down there.

1896
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 4: What a mistake. I made a mistake and I just

1897
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 4: ended up eating sugar. Did I pay for it the

1898
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 4: next day? You bet you?

1899
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: Is it actually called jingle Jangles or are you just

1900
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: making that up?

1901
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 8: Because yeah, I think it might be, but I'm not

1902
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 8: a hundred percent. And there comes in a yellow bag.

1903
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 8: I think it might be. It's it's a nice chocolate mix, right, Oh.

1904
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 6: Perfect, KJD. Tell us about a time you got revenge?

1905
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:34,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, So getting back to kids, One day when Jackson

1906
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 5: was four. All this was back when he was four. Uh,

1907
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 5: he casually walked by me in his underwear, lifted his

1908
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 5: leg and farted it. You guys don't know me as

1909
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 5: a big farter here in the Classic factory or in

1910
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 5: the office. But I I never forgot that, And about

1911
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 5: a week later I tricked him. I basically lifted up

1912
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 5: the back of my shorts and said is there something

1913
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 5: on my thigh, you know, like.

1914
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 2: Or something.

1915
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, like it feels like there's something there. And he

1916
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 5: put his his face was right up and I had

1917
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 5: the bath part like just it was. It was the

1918
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 5: chef's kiss of farts and I just let it rip.

1919
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 5: Oh man, he was so mad and I basically turned

1920
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 5: around to him and I said, now we're in a

1921
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 5: fart war. And we did in the war. This war

1922
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 5: has been going on for ten years, so it continues.

1923
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 6: Wow, he doesn't often when he does, you remember him,

1924
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 6: but it.

1925
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,639
Speaker 2: Starts a war going around.

1926
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 5: For I would never fart in a van in Vegas.

1927
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 2: I never killed the suspect in that.

1928
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 6: Coldcase case.

1929
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,439
