WEBVTT - Nets Hire Nash, Drunk Endings + Clippers-Nuggets Predictions 0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:03.440 This might sound a little crazy, but when I can, 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.880 I like to listen back to the No Dunks podcast. 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.400 I look at it as sort of a day to 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:11.680 day review. What worked on the pod? What could we 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.320 have changed? Did I laugh a little too hard when 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.960 Lee said down to the skin and I only listen 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.640 to No Dunks on my new so nos Move Move 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.919 is the premium portable smart speaker for listening all around 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:30.520 your home and even outdoors.

I'd like to say, guys, happy 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.920 three hundredth episode. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:05.440 Oh wow, this say. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.600 Is our three hundredth episode of the season, which is 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:15.200 mind Bogglings Bowl. A perfect game, crazy crazy and what 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.000 an episode we have here because man, we got some 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.680 crazy games to talk about. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.280 But first, RKO out of nowhere here this morning. Great timing, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.720 by the way, way to do it right before the show. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.959 Hall of Fame guard Steve Nash has been named the 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:35.280 next coach of the Brooklyn Nets Tests. Honestly out of 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:35.920 nowhere with this. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.360 News Steven John Nash the next head going to the 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.320 Brooklyn match. Yeah, it absolutely came out of nowhere. He's 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.760 sort of on holy ground with us, especially as Canadians 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.160 where the show has come from. I have faith that 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.960 Steve Nashville succeed in anything he does, and it's kind 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.200 of crazy to think that he put in five years 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.080 with the Golden State Warriors as a consultant sort of 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.000 in the player development side since he were tired. That's 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.040 a long time. And obviously he developed a relationship with 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.600 Kevin Durant as all the reports are going out here, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.520 so it sure seemed like Kad said, Hey, I want 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.480 that guy to be our next head coach, and Nash 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.120 for a long time apparently wanted to be a head 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.719 coach in this league, wanted to get into coaching, which 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.560 I guess I just didn't really know about. But he 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.400 has been given the reins here. It's not like adjacent 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.080 kids scenario again because I bring up the five years. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.120 He's not just retired and plopped into it. But I 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.440 sure feel like Nash is going to be great. He 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.320 is going to be a very lovable coach, but he 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.240 likes sort of Steve Kerr. I think he's going to 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.600 be a players coach, but also a hard ass, fiery 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.240 type guy. It's just it's just crazy to think of 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.520 him as a bench boss all of a sudden, and 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.080 you know, maybe he'll he'll buy into the not wearing 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.280 a suit because it doesn't seem like Steve Nash is 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:53.920 a suit man. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:00.760 Wasn't he a spokesman for like a suit company Endoccino? 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.599 Of course, customer suits customize everything you want to this 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.360 kind of button on once, leave this kind of button 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.240 and on another sleep. But I don't think that. I 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.960 don't think he'll be a suitman, but who Either way, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.520 I think he's going to be a successful bench boss. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.640 And again maybe that's just because I'm Canadian, but I 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.680 think he's got the temperment. He's got a Steve Kerr 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.920 sort of feel and vibe to me, right right right. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.440 He has no coaching experience. That is the weird part here, 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.400 right Lee. I mean, you know, as Woh wrote in 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.880 his column here breaking this news after Stein was the 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.520 first one, Nash does have a history of peerless leadership, 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:35.440 basketball IQ and playing innovation, all true, But no coaching 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.920 experience is a little wild, it is. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.719 But it comes down to the talent of the players 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.760 that you have. And he's going to have two Hall 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.320 of Fame players at his disposal, and I think that's 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.280 the most important thing here. When Steve Kurtz took over 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.000 in Golden State. He also had no coaching experience, but 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.160 he had a very very good roster. And that's ultimately 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.360 what it comes down to. If you throw Steve Nash 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.120 into a situation, you know, let's say like the Indiana paces, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.840 he's probably less likely to succeed. But when he goes 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.919 to a situation where he has two players who you 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.719 know are in the prime of their career, they want 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.800 to win, they want to prove something, and by all 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.880 accounts they have their blessing that he's the guy that 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.919 they wanted there, then the formula is right for it 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.920 to succeed. Now, there's no guarantees it will, of course, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.320 nobody knows how it's going to come together, but certainly 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.479 when you look at the sort of pieces there, that's 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.560 what it's all about, is like, you've got the talent, 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.240 you've got a coach that the players will respect, you've 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.400 got a guy who played one of the positions there, 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.080 and then he's also had a good relationship with the 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.320 other superstar of the team. So I think it's a 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.160 smart move by Brooklyn. Again, it carries risk, but it's 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.280 going to take carry risk no matter who you higher. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.720 But I think they've kind of thought this through and thought, well, 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.080 this player is going to have the communication with these 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.640 two guys. He's going to be able to try to 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.919 get the best out of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.120 seems on board as well. So everyone should at least 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.719 go in with the right attitude there with the right temperament. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.000 It's just now. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.039 Right he gets their instant respect. I think it's fair 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.280 to say not only the all stars there in Duranton, Kyrie, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.360 but the whole team, because I mean, Nash has the accomplishments, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.280 he's a Hall of Famer, and he's got also I 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.360 think when you pair he's got the work ethic too. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.080 You know, it's weird that this tiny Canadian guy became 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.880 a Hall of Famer. He didn't just do that batter 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.280 of luck. I mean, it was a lot of hard work. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.760 So I think there's both there, the accomplishments and that 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.360 work ethic. When you pair them together. What do you 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:18.120 think Tray about this? 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.960 I mean, who knows what Steve Nash is going to 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.760 be like as a coach. He could be Jason Kidd, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.160 he could be Steve Kerr. But we do know that 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.960 Steve Nash was always great at getting everybody to be 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.800 on the same page, and he was a great leader 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.840 who was great for morale, and I imagine that that 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.240 will be a huge part of what Nash brings to 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.280 the Nets, setting their culture right. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.960 We saw in the. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.800 Past couple of years Kyrie Irving's career there have been 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.640 times when he's calling out his teammates. I doubt that 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.920 thing happens as often when Steve Nash is there, the 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.480 guy who like set the record for most high fives 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.600 given on court, trying to get everybody encouraged playing together. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:57.000 I imagine that Nash is just a general you know, niceness, 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.080 the way he gets along with people, the way he 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.720 knows how to to build the team, and you. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.440 Know, just get everybody organized. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.040 I think we'll be helpful with Katie and Kyrie, and 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.240 then we'll see what he does on the court. You 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.800 imagine it's a little bit more Steve Kerr than Jason 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.000 Kidd with regards to ball movement and keeping things going and. 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.400 Allowing guards to flourish. 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.480 But we still don't know. It's just exciting to have 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.080 Steve Nash back in our lives. Not talking about soccer. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.840 Yeah, that's right, right, that's true. I forgot he was 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.080 doing that, Jared wrote me here this morning after this 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.240 news broke. Well, I guess you can dress as a 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.040 nets head coach for Halloween, so I don't have to 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:31.720 figure out whether he's wearing a suit or not. So 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.320 I know you can pull that out going. Yeah, exactly. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.880 And the Nets we should point out they are keeping 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.400 jacque Vaughn here as the as the lead you know, 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.880 assistant coach. He's gonna be the highest paid assistant in 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.240 the league. You know, we thought he did a great 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.880 job in the bubble there and it's nice to see 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.840 he'll still be on this staff. And I don't know, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.719 did Nash ever play with Jaqvan? I mean, I'm not 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.679 one hundred percent sure, but but you said the relationships, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.439 this is really what this league's all about here, right. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.240 He's the consultant with Katie and Golden State. It sounds 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.560 like Katie was like, I want him, get him, and 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.000 then they talked him into this four year deal here 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.520 as the contract he signed. And then Nash played with 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.200 Sean Marks too in Phoenix and they apparently kept a 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.200 good relationship throughout the years. So Steve Nash. I mean what, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.240 You're right, We're happy, we're Canadian. I only do this 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.880 show because of Steve Nash. There would be no dunks. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.959 I don't think if he ever came around into our lives. 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.640 So we'll see if you can take the Nets to 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.800 a title contender right away. It's not a given, that's 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.480 for sure. I mean, I remember when Steve Nash the 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.240 player went to the Lakers and we thought he was 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.280 going to win a title with Dwayton and Kobe there, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.480 and it's a little different, I know, but that didn't 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:35.400 go quite so well. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.000 Yeah, but that's also like Steve Kerrt was like they 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.520 took a risk and it worked out. But I think 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.480 another part of the reason there that it did work 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.360 out was that they hired experienced assistant coaches as well 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.000 to help out Steve point. So that'll be interesting to 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.760 see who else now comes on board. You mentioned Jock 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.840 Worn already, so they'll be I'm sure a couple of 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.439 other moves there have to be made. But you know, 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.760 you say the wouldn't be a show without Steve Nash. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.640 That's why we called no dunks, and I guess because 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.760 nationally too many, did you I mean, does anyone ever 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:03.920 seen State Nash dunk? 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.440 I don't happened, Yes, he can, I mean he's not. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.040 I mean I said small.

Data Steve nash zero dunks in HIS 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.880 nba carew the official coach Of No. 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.280 Dugs did he throw one down At Santa? Clara that's 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.200 the real. Question we got to go deep into the 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.920 YouTube or court up In canada AND bc there maybe he. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.600 Did, yeah this show can't get any, Wider but Now 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.119 steve is our coach. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.560 All of a, sudden absolutely. Right, Okay, well yeah you're talked, 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.000 ABOUT i, Mean Steve nash bumping the game talk here 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.920 and these were some insane, games so let's get to. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.199 Them i'm sure we'll get in to more Nash nets 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.480 talker over the coming weeks, here but let's start with The, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:09.120 rockets edging The thunder to win a Wild game. Seven 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:14.240 they move on to face The, lakers but they Outlast 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.960 okay See lee In game seven And James harden terrible 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.680 offensively but comes up with a huge, stop a huge 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.080 block on. Door but where do you want to, start cure, IN. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.320 I don't really know where to, start because we had 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.720 the team like The. Thunder When Chris paul hit that, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.720 three he Called Robert covington for a pick at about 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.160 the eight minute mark and hit a three in his, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.040 face And Robert covington was, devastated AND i put The thunder. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.960 UP i was, like that's basically that's. It Chris paul 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.200 is just going to steer this ship. Home but instead 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.240 that didn't. Happen The thunder sort of choked a little 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.040 bit towards the end, there And Chris paul made a 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.040 couple of, mistakes and then The rockets scored some baskets 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.480 and then the craziness at the end where Lou dordho'd 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.640 hit six threes and scored thirty, points putting him in 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.800 a bracket With Lebron james And Michael. JORDAN i think 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.880 it was for the Younger Kobus KOBE. E Skew, yeah 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.280 twenty one or under to have the most points in the, game, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.400 seven which was just. Incredible and then it was The 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.960 james hardened bluck which basically sealed the, game and you 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.920 thought the game was, over but then they added another 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.959 half a, second then they added another second and a 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.360 half to. That then they got a tech foul for 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.560 the for the inbound play That Danilo gallinari missed the 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.280 technical free, throw and it was just like then you 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.000 sort of look at the, plane it was Like Steve 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.760 steve Another Steve Steve adams appeared to have an open, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.560 lane but Then covington was right. There then they couldn't 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.120 get the ball in any. Way there was timeouts. Everywhere 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.840 no one really knew what the hell was going. On 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.720 and at the, end if The rockets had lost that, 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.319 game considering everything that, happened then The internet would have 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.079 ended last, night because it was like The rockets got 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.600 up by two points and it was Like covington missed 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.520 one free, throw he made, one miss the, other and 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.080 then it was like if somehow Like Scott, Foster scott 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.480 not A, steve was the sort of finanglear win out 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.080 of this to the thunder or just to get it 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.199 to overtime at, least like people would have lost their. 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.760 Mind so it was a crazy. GAME i had no 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:03.640 real idea. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:03.760 At the end of. 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.959 It IF i enjoyed, that IF i hated, it IF 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.079 i felt bad for the, thunder IF i was happy 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.320 for The. RUCKETS i was just Like James harden was 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.560 so pumped that he got that. Block he was so 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.600 pumped and you, know shot maybe goes, in maybe, doesn't 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.040 but he made that incredible to play and and AFTERWARDS 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.040 i think it was, like, Okay, ruckets he played well 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.760 enough to get, through especially those toutchment we Had Chris 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.640 paul And James harden trying to out flop each. 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:25.840 Other. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.360 MAN i, mean, look, yeah we're gonna be ripping on 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.800 the official, podcast BUT i will give them credit for 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.800 swallowing the. Whistle everybody just trying to flop on. That, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.840 okay good. JOB i start faster than the crew on that. Way, Yeah, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.480 lee did you want a? Cigarette after this? 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.160 Game? Was, yeah like like my adrenaline was, up but 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.880 then it was down because it was like a sort 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.040 of shitty, end but it was like probably the right 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.840 result in the end. OVERALL i mean if Lou dort's 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.080 going out there lighting you up for six threes like 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.320 you can't look LIKE i Think Zach harper. Twitted if 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.440 lou dought and, anything and he, did he has to 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.600 Go James. Hodden but he if There thunding goings to 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.680 win that game And dot hits thirty points And James, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.800 HODDEN i think he finished nineteen Like James hodden would 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.920 honestly should never play basketball again after. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.200 That what DID i tell you yesterday? SHOW i, said 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.480 if The rockets lose this And, harden what DID i? 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.640 SAY i, said goes like seven for twenty four or 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.920 WHATEVER i. Said he was even worse than. That, yeah 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.280 they wouldn't even have him On dancing with The. Stars 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.640 they would, say, no we don't even watch. It, man 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.840 lou dor just kicked your ass in a game. Seven, 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.960 yeah he that WAS i, MEAN i don't, know is 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.000 it going too far to say he saved his legacy 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.520 by blocking a three point shot from a you, know 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.480 a Young canadian on the. WING i don't. Know it 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.400 feels like it because the game was. Insane. TASK i 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.640 was thinking of you, too, man because you're always telling, us, YEAH, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.440 nba it's the fastest of the four major. Sports but, 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.920 man it took sixteen minutes to play the final minute 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.840 of this game in both of these games last, night 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:54.920 so it was not moving very. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.680 QUICKLY i agree with that it was not moving very. 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.760 Quickly the back to ac timeouts out of, those get 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:05.040 rid of. Them it makes no. Sense but, YEAH i 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.600 thought it could have gone a lot slower because the 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.120 referees could have called flop after flop after flop after. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.440 Flop James harden puts a bucket in after the bucket 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.160 then decides he gets hit By Lou, dort then. Flops 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.800 you don't usually see a guy flopping after the ball 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.920 is taken out of. Bounds there's so many. Flops the 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.120 refs did a good, job, actually But harden did he 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.440 save his? Legacy was one to nine from three point. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.640 Land he's now twenty four percent from three point land 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.520 in game seven's in his. Career now he, just for 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.200 some reason over four game sevens he can hit. SHOTS 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.320 i think this was the game of the fewer mistakes 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.640 are going is going to win this basketball? Game AND 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.400 i guess The rockets just didn't make more than the. 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.600 Thunder that's all that. Happened this is why they got rust, 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.560 though Because harden can't close out, games can't close out game. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.600 SEVENS i don't know what it is because in game, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.800 one next, series he's gonna pop. Back it's not like he's. 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.160 Top it's there's something mental. There there's something that that 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.679 happens To James harden over a period of. Time but 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.840 they Need russ to close, games and that's why they got. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.919 Them that's why they Got Chris. Paul But i'm happy 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.679 that this game is finally over and again it was 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.919 it just Wasn't it wasn't pretty because you Went it 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:24.119 was so, drastic the difference between, teams the two teams 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:28.359 playing Before miami And, milwaukee the way they were collapsing 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.720 and then recovering to, shooters the way they were playing, 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.359 defense and the way The rockets And thunder were playing. 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.720 Offense it was like they weren't purposely going into sets 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.000 understanding what they were. Doing they were just sort of 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.919 shooting and deciding what they were going to do because 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.080 they had to decide something because you kind of have 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.520 to decide something before the shot clock goes. Up it 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.040 was bad. Ball it was it was just, again whoever 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.560 has more points at the, end gets it. Done but, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.560 Yeah James harden had a block and he can flex, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.359 afterwards and it was a good defensive play for, Sure 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.119 BUT i don't, KNOW i just couldn't enjoy. It And 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.159 i'm Sure, harden going back to his, tape he just 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:10.639 looked so disinterested and that it was bonkers to watch 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.880 AN mvp candidate just kind of float through a lot 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.199 of this. Game and he had some nice, drives but 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.080 the less ugly team won this. Game and it just 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.680 seems like when they go Play la Starting, friday they're 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.520 gonna get. Massacred it just doesn't feel like there's doesn't 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.720 feel like there's any chance for a team that plays like, this, RIGHT. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:30.280 I don't, know what do you? 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:30.480 Think? 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.960 RIGHT i, mean who. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.000 Knows if you're talking, legacies Though James harden made the 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.800 clutches play in a game, seven he did more Than 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:40.640 Chris paul in the last five minutes of this. Game 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.960 if you're talking about guys who have shaky postseason. LEGACIES i, 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.960 Said i'm not going to say anything bad About Chris, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.760 paul but you can go look at his last five 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.240
