Speaker 1: This might sound a little crazy, but when I can,
Speaker 1: I like to listen back to the No Dunks podcast.
Speaker 1: I look at it as sort of a day to
Speaker 1: day review. What worked on the pod? What could we
Speaker 1: have changed? Did I laugh a little too hard when

Speaker 1: at No dunk Sinc. I'd like to say, guys, happy
Speaker 1: three hundredth episode.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, this say.
Speaker 5: Is our three hundredth episode of the season, which is
Speaker 5: mind Bogglings Bowl. A perfect game, crazy crazy and what
Speaker 5: an episode we have here because man, we got some
Speaker 5: crazy games to talk about.
Speaker 1: But first, RKO out of nowhere here this morning. Great timing,
Speaker 1: by the way, way to do it right before the show.
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame guard Steve Nash has been named the
Speaker 1: next coach of the Brooklyn Nets Tests. Honestly out of
Speaker 1: nowhere with this.
Speaker 4: News Steven John Nash the next head going to the
Speaker 4: Brooklyn match. Yeah, it absolutely came out of nowhere. He's
Speaker 4: sort of on holy ground with us, especially as Canadians
Speaker 4: where the show has come from. I have faith that
Speaker 4: Steve Nashville succeed in anything he does, and it's kind
Speaker 4: of crazy to think that he put in five years
Speaker 4: with the Golden State Warriors as a consultant sort of
Speaker 4: in the player development side since he were tired. That's
Speaker 4: a long time. And obviously he developed a relationship with
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant as all the reports are going out here,
Speaker 4: so it sure seemed like Kad said, Hey, I want
Speaker 4: that guy to be our next head coach, and Nash
Speaker 4: for a long time apparently wanted to be a head
Speaker 4: coach in this league, wanted to get into coaching, which
Speaker 4: I guess I just didn't really know about. But he
Speaker 4: has been given the reins here. It's not like adjacent
Speaker 4: kids scenario again because I bring up the five years.
Speaker 4: He's not just retired and plopped into it. But I
Speaker 4: sure feel like Nash is going to be great. He
Speaker 4: is going to be a very lovable coach, but he
Speaker 4: likes sort of Steve Kerr. I think he's going to
Speaker 4: be a players coach, but also a hard ass, fiery
Speaker 4: type guy. It's just it's just crazy to think of
Speaker 4: him as a bench boss all of a sudden, and
Speaker 4: you know, maybe he'll he'll buy into the not wearing
Speaker 4: a suit because it doesn't seem like Steve Nash is
Speaker 4: a suit man.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he a spokesman for like a suit company Endoccino?
Speaker 4: Of course, customer suits customize everything you want to this
Speaker 4: kind of button on once, leave this kind of button
Speaker 4: and on another sleep. But I don't think that. I
Speaker 4: don't think he'll be a suitman, but who Either way,
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be a successful bench boss.
Speaker 4: And again maybe that's just because I'm Canadian, but I
Speaker 4: think he's got the temperment. He's got a Steve Kerr
Speaker 4: sort of feel and vibe to me, right right right.
Speaker 1: He has no coaching experience. That is the weird part here,
Speaker 1: right Lee. I mean, you know, as Woh wrote in
Speaker 1: his column here breaking this news after Stein was the
Speaker 1: first one, Nash does have a history of peerless leadership,
Speaker 1: basketball IQ and playing innovation, all true, But no coaching
Speaker 1: experience is a little wild, it is.
Speaker 6: But it comes down to the talent of the players
Speaker 6: that you have. And he's going to have two Hall
Speaker 6: of Fame players at his disposal, and I think that's
Speaker 6: the most important thing here. When Steve Kurtz took over
Speaker 6: in Golden State. He also had no coaching experience, but
Speaker 6: he had a very very good roster. And that's ultimately
Speaker 6: what it comes down to. If you throw Steve Nash
Speaker 6: into a situation, you know, let's say like the Indiana paces,
Speaker 6: he's probably less likely to succeed. But when he goes
Speaker 6: to a situation where he has two players who you
Speaker 6: know are in the prime of their career, they want
Speaker 6: to win, they want to prove something, and by all
Speaker 6: accounts they have their blessing that he's the guy that
Speaker 6: they wanted there, then the formula is right for it
Speaker 6: to succeed. Now, there's no guarantees it will, of course,
Speaker 6: nobody knows how it's going to come together, but certainly
Speaker 6: when you look at the sort of pieces there, that's
Speaker 6: what it's all about, is like, you've got the talent,
Speaker 6: you've got a coach that the players will respect, you've
Speaker 6: got a guy who played one of the positions there,
Speaker 6: and then he's also had a good relationship with the
Speaker 6: other superstar of the team. So I think it's a
Speaker 6: smart move by Brooklyn. Again, it carries risk, but it's
Speaker 6: going to take carry risk no matter who you higher.
Speaker 6: But I think they've kind of thought this through and thought, well,
Speaker 6: this player is going to have the communication with these
Speaker 6: two guys. He's going to be able to try to
Speaker 6: get the best out of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant
Speaker 6: seems on board as well. So everyone should at least
Speaker 6: go in with the right attitude there with the right temperament.
Speaker 6: It's just now.
Speaker 1: Right he gets their instant respect. I think it's fair
Speaker 1: to say not only the all stars there in Duranton, Kyrie,
Speaker 1: but the whole team, because I mean, Nash has the accomplishments,
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer, and he's got also I
Speaker 1: think when you pair he's got the work ethic too.
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird that this tiny Canadian guy became
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. He didn't just do that batter
Speaker 1: of luck. I mean, it was a lot of hard work.
Speaker 1: So I think there's both there, the accomplishments and that
Speaker 1: work ethic. When you pair them together. What do you
Speaker 1: think Tray about this?
Speaker 7: I mean, who knows what Steve Nash is going to
Speaker 7: be like as a coach. He could be Jason Kidd,
Speaker 7: he could be Steve Kerr. But we do know that
Speaker 7: Steve Nash was always great at getting everybody to be
Speaker 7: on the same page, and he was a great leader
Speaker 7: who was great for morale, and I imagine that that
Speaker 7: will be a huge part of what Nash brings to
Speaker 7: the Nets, setting their culture right.
Speaker 3: We saw in the.
Speaker 7: Past couple of years Kyrie Irving's career there have been
Speaker 7: times when he's calling out his teammates. I doubt that
Speaker 7: thing happens as often when Steve Nash is there, the
Speaker 7: guy who like set the record for most high fives
Speaker 7: given on court, trying to get everybody encouraged playing together.
Speaker 7: I imagine that Nash is just a general you know, niceness,
Speaker 7: the way he gets along with people, the way he
Speaker 7: knows how to to build the team, and you.
Speaker 3: Know, just get everybody organized.
Speaker 7: I think we'll be helpful with Katie and Kyrie, and
Speaker 7: then we'll see what he does on the court. You
Speaker 7: imagine it's a little bit more Steve Kerr than Jason
Speaker 7: Kidd with regards to ball movement and keeping things going and.
Speaker 3: Allowing guards to flourish.
Speaker 7: But we still don't know. It's just exciting to have
Speaker 7: Steve Nash back in our lives. Not talking about soccer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, right, that's true. I forgot he was
Speaker 1: doing that, Jared wrote me here this morning after this
Speaker 1: news broke. Well, I guess you can dress as a
Speaker 1: nets head coach for Halloween, so I don't have to
Speaker 1: figure out whether he's wearing a suit or not. So
Speaker 1: I know you can pull that out going. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And the Nets we should point out they are keeping
Speaker 1: jacque Vaughn here as the as the lead you know,
Speaker 1: assistant coach. He's gonna be the highest paid assistant in
Speaker 1: the league. You know, we thought he did a great
Speaker 1: job in the bubble there and it's nice to see
Speaker 1: he'll still be on this staff. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: did Nash ever play with Jaqvan? I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure, but but you said the relationships,
Speaker 1: this is really what this league's all about here, right.
Speaker 1: He's the consultant with Katie and Golden State. It sounds
Speaker 1: like Katie was like, I want him, get him, and
Speaker 1: then they talked him into this four year deal here
Speaker 1: as the contract he signed. And then Nash played with
Speaker 1: Sean Marks too in Phoenix and they apparently kept a
Speaker 1: good relationship throughout the years. So Steve Nash. I mean what,
Speaker 1: You're right, We're happy, we're Canadian. I only do this
Speaker 1: show because of Steve Nash. There would be no dunks.
Speaker 1: I don't think if he ever came around into our lives.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if you can take the Nets to
Speaker 1: a title contender right away. It's not a given, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, I remember when Steve Nash the
Speaker 1: player went to the Lakers and we thought he was
Speaker 1: going to win a title with Dwayton and Kobe there,
Speaker 1: and it's a little different, I know, but that didn't
Speaker 1: go quite so well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's also like Steve Kerrt was like they
Speaker 6: took a risk and it worked out. But I think
Speaker 6: another part of the reason there that it did work
Speaker 6: out was that they hired experienced assistant coaches as well
Speaker 6: to help out Steve point. So that'll be interesting to
Speaker 6: see who else now comes on board. You mentioned Jock
Speaker 6: Worn already, so they'll be I'm sure a couple of
Speaker 6: other moves there have to be made. But you know,
Speaker 6: you say the wouldn't be a show without Steve Nash.
Speaker 6: That's why we called no dunks, and I guess because
Speaker 6: nationally too many, did you I mean, does anyone ever
Speaker 6: seen State Nash dunk?
Speaker 1: I don't happened, Yes, he can, I mean he's not.
Speaker 1: I mean I said small. How tall is he? Like six'?
Speaker 1: Three yea? That, yeah but, YEAH i can't think OF
Speaker 1: i definitely don't have a Poster Steve. NASH i didn't
Speaker 1: have that poster on my wall for. Sure all, Right
Speaker 1: so congrats to congrats To Steve nash and the nets
Speaker 1: here and his. Family but, like really for keeping this a.
Speaker 1: SECRET i mean that's in today's world to keep anything under.
Speaker 1: Wraps how they even do this? TASK i, mean, again
Speaker 1: this was nobody knew. This Maybe Mark stein had been
Speaker 1: sitting on this because he's got a relationship With nash
Speaker 1: over the last couple of. Decades but, wow what a shock.
Speaker 4: Here, yeah it's kind of Like kawhi going to The
Speaker 4: clippers and bringing In Paul george that came out of.
Speaker 4: NOWHERE nba teams can do, this they can make this.
Speaker 4: Happen they can keep things. QUIET i just like the fact,
Speaker 4: that unfortunately a little bit later in the, show we're
Speaker 4: going to talk About Steve. JAVVY i like how he's
Speaker 4: been upped by Another, Steve Steve nash has taken the
Speaker 4: lead on today's. Show and Those lakers days they hurt.
Speaker 4: Me skeets thinking about Those lakers days and they hurt.
Speaker 4: Us Steve nash is. Back how can you not hire this?
Speaker 4: Guy look at this? Guy look how nice this? Man
Speaker 4: this is the nicest man looking guy right. There, ye
Speaker 4: hire that. Guy just wanted to get that in the. Shows, Well,
Speaker 4: hi my back, hurts BUT i can still wave and.
Speaker 1: Smile they'll still give you a high. Five all.
Speaker 7: Right so a quick look, up real quick basketball, reference
Speaker 7: play by play. Data Steve nash zero dunks in HIS
Speaker 7: nba carew the official coach Of No.
Speaker 1: Dugs did he throw one down At Santa? Clara that's
Speaker 1: the real. Question we got to go deep into the
Speaker 1: YouTube or court up In canada AND bc there maybe he.
Speaker 4: Did, yeah this show can't get any, Wider but Now
Speaker 4: steve is our coach.
Speaker 1: All of a, sudden absolutely. Right, Okay, well yeah you're talked,
Speaker 1: ABOUT i, Mean Steve nash bumping the game talk here
Speaker 1: and these were some insane, games so let's get to.
Speaker 1: Them i'm sure we'll get in to more Nash nets
Speaker 1: talker over the coming weeks, here but let's start with The,
Speaker 1: rockets edging The thunder to win a Wild game. Seven
Speaker 1: they move on to face The, lakers but they Outlast
Speaker 1: okay See lee In game seven And James harden terrible
Speaker 1: offensively but comes up with a huge, stop a huge
Speaker 1: block on. Door but where do you want to, start cure, IN.
Speaker 6: I don't really know where to, start because we had
Speaker 6: the team like The. Thunder When Chris paul hit that,
Speaker 6: three he Called Robert covington for a pick at about
Speaker 6: the eight minute mark and hit a three in his,
Speaker 6: face And Robert covington was, devastated AND i put The thunder.
Speaker 6: UP i was, like that's basically that's. It Chris paul
Speaker 6: is just going to steer this ship. Home but instead
Speaker 6: that didn't. Happen The thunder sort of choked a little
Speaker 6: bit towards the end, there And Chris paul made a
Speaker 6: couple of, mistakes and then The rockets scored some baskets
Speaker 6: and then the craziness at the end where Lou dordho'd
Speaker 6: hit six threes and scored thirty, points putting him in
Speaker 6: a bracket With Lebron james And Michael. JORDAN i think
Speaker 6: it was for the Younger Kobus KOBE. E Skew, yeah
Speaker 6: twenty one or under to have the most points in the, game,
Speaker 6: seven which was just. Incredible and then it was The
Speaker 6: james hardened bluck which basically sealed the, game and you
Speaker 6: thought the game was, over but then they added another
Speaker 6: half a, second then they added another second and a
Speaker 6: half to. That then they got a tech foul for
Speaker 6: the for the inbound play That Danilo gallinari missed the
Speaker 6: technical free, throw and it was just like then you
Speaker 6: sort of look at the, plane it was Like Steve
Speaker 6: steve Another Steve Steve adams appeared to have an open,
Speaker 6: lane but Then covington was right. There then they couldn't
Speaker 6: get the ball in any. Way there was timeouts. Everywhere
Speaker 6: no one really knew what the hell was going. On
Speaker 6: and at the, end if The rockets had lost that,
Speaker 6: game considering everything that, happened then The internet would have
Speaker 6: ended last, night because it was like The rockets got
Speaker 6: up by two points and it was Like covington missed
Speaker 6: one free, throw he made, one miss the, other and
Speaker 6: then it was like if somehow Like Scott, Foster scott
Speaker 6: not A, steve was the sort of finanglear win out
Speaker 6: of this to the thunder or just to get it
Speaker 6: to overtime at, least like people would have lost their.
Speaker 6: Mind so it was a crazy. GAME i had no
Speaker 6: real idea.
Speaker 1: At the end of.
Speaker 6: It IF i enjoyed, that IF i hated, it IF
Speaker 6: i felt bad for the, thunder IF i was happy
Speaker 6: for The. RUCKETS i was just Like James harden was
Speaker 6: so pumped that he got that. Block he was so
Speaker 6: pumped and you, know shot maybe goes, in maybe, doesn't
Speaker 6: but he made that incredible to play and and AFTERWARDS
Speaker 6: i think it was, like, Okay, ruckets he played well
Speaker 6: enough to get, through especially those toutchment we Had Chris
Speaker 6: paul And James harden trying to out flop each.
Speaker 5: Other.
Speaker 1: MAN i, mean, look, yeah we're gonna be ripping on
Speaker 1: the official, podcast BUT i will give them credit for
Speaker 1: swallowing the. Whistle everybody just trying to flop on. That,
Speaker 1: okay good. JOB i start faster than the crew on that. Way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: lee did you want a? Cigarette after this?
Speaker 6: Game? Was, yeah like like my adrenaline was, up but
Speaker 6: then it was down because it was like a sort
Speaker 6: of shitty, end but it was like probably the right
Speaker 6: result in the end. OVERALL i mean if Lou dort's
Speaker 6: going out there lighting you up for six threes like
Speaker 6: you can't look LIKE i Think Zach harper. Twitted if
Speaker 6: lou dought and, anything and he, did he has to
Speaker 6: Go James. Hodden but he if There thunding goings to
Speaker 6: win that game And dot hits thirty points And James,
Speaker 6: HODDEN i think he finished nineteen Like James hodden would
Speaker 6: honestly should never play basketball again after.
Speaker 1: That what DID i tell you yesterday? SHOW i, said
Speaker 1: if The rockets lose this And, harden what DID i?
Speaker 1: SAY i, said goes like seven for twenty four or
Speaker 1: WHATEVER i. Said he was even worse than. That, yeah
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even have him On dancing with The. Stars
Speaker 1: they would, say, no we don't even watch. It, man
Speaker 1: lou dor just kicked your ass in a game. Seven,
Speaker 1: yeah he that WAS i, MEAN i don't, know is
Speaker 1: it going too far to say he saved his legacy
Speaker 1: by blocking a three point shot from a you, know
Speaker 1: a Young canadian on the. WING i don't. Know it
Speaker 1: feels like it because the game was. Insane. TASK i
Speaker 1: was thinking of you, too, man because you're always telling, us, YEAH,
Speaker 1: nba it's the fastest of the four major. Sports but,
Speaker 1: man it took sixteen minutes to play the final minute
Speaker 1: of this game in both of these games last, night
Speaker 1: so it was not moving very.
Speaker 4: QUICKLY i agree with that it was not moving very.
Speaker 4: Quickly the back to ac timeouts out of, those get
Speaker 4: rid of. Them it makes no. Sense but, YEAH i
Speaker 4: thought it could have gone a lot slower because the
Speaker 4: referees could have called flop after flop after flop after.
Speaker 4: Flop James harden puts a bucket in after the bucket
Speaker 4: then decides he gets hit By Lou, dort then. Flops
Speaker 4: you don't usually see a guy flopping after the ball
Speaker 4: is taken out of. Bounds there's so many. Flops the
Speaker 4: refs did a good, job, actually But harden did he
Speaker 4: save his? Legacy was one to nine from three point.
Speaker 4: Land he's now twenty four percent from three point land
Speaker 4: in game seven's in his. Career now he, just for
Speaker 4: some reason over four game sevens he can hit. SHOTS
Speaker 4: i think this was the game of the fewer mistakes
Speaker 4: are going is going to win this basketball? Game AND
Speaker 4: i guess The rockets just didn't make more than the.
Speaker 4: Thunder that's all that. Happened this is why they got rust,
Speaker 4: though Because harden can't close out, games can't close out game.
Speaker 4: SEVENS i don't know what it is because in game,
Speaker 4: one next, series he's gonna pop. Back it's not like he's.
Speaker 4: Top it's there's something mental. There there's something that that
Speaker 4: happens To James harden over a period of. Time but
Speaker 4: they Need russ to close, games and that's why they got.
Speaker 4: Them that's why they Got Chris. Paul But i'm happy
Speaker 4: that this game is finally over and again it was
Speaker 4: it just Wasn't it wasn't pretty because you Went it
Speaker 4: was so, drastic the difference between, teams the two teams
Speaker 4: playing Before miami And, milwaukee the way they were collapsing
Speaker 4: and then recovering to, shooters the way they were playing,
Speaker 4: defense and the way The rockets And thunder were playing.
Speaker 4: Offense it was like they weren't purposely going into sets
Speaker 4: understanding what they were. Doing they were just sort of
Speaker 4: shooting and deciding what they were going to do because
Speaker 4: they had to decide something because you kind of have
Speaker 4: to decide something before the shot clock goes. Up it
Speaker 4: was bad. Ball it was it was just, again whoever
Speaker 4: has more points at the, end gets it. Done but,
Speaker 4: Yeah James harden had a block and he can flex,
Speaker 4: afterwards and it was a good defensive play for, Sure
Speaker 4: BUT i don't, KNOW i just couldn't enjoy. It And
Speaker 4: i'm Sure, harden going back to his, tape he just
Speaker 4: looked so disinterested and that it was bonkers to watch
Speaker 4: AN mvp candidate just kind of float through a lot
Speaker 4: of this. Game and he had some nice, drives but
Speaker 4: the less ugly team won this. Game and it just
Speaker 4: seems like when they go Play la Starting, friday they're
Speaker 4: gonna get. Massacred it just doesn't feel like there's doesn't
Speaker 4: feel like there's any chance for a team that plays like, this, RIGHT.
Speaker 1: I don't, know what do you?
Speaker 6: Think?
Speaker 1: RIGHT i, mean who.
Speaker 7: Knows if you're talking, legacies Though James harden made the
Speaker 7: clutches play in a game, seven he did more Than
Speaker 7: Chris paul in the last five minutes of this. Game
Speaker 7: if you're talking about guys who have shaky postseason. LEGACIES i,
Speaker 7: Said i'm not going to say anything bad About Chris,
Speaker 7: paul but you can go look at his last five
Speaker 7: minutes stats and see what. Happened not, much And harden,
Speaker 7: like what a crazy play to actually get that, block
Speaker 7: sort of from, behind sort of like monogenomally back in
Speaker 7: the twenty fifteen. Days just the effort to get out
Speaker 7: there was. Impressive and you, know The, ROCKETS i, thought
Speaker 7: did a pretty good job in the last couple of
Speaker 7: minutes of making things tough for The thunder to get open,
Speaker 7: shots and they were switching and they were just causing
Speaker 7: chaos out there and the game turned. Crazy you, know
Speaker 7: we got a little bit more javvy. TIME i thought
Speaker 7: after game, one there's no way we're gonna see as
Speaker 7: much javvy as we can for this.
Speaker 3: Game seven, Here but oh, baby there was some. JAVVY
Speaker 3: i don't. KNOW i, MEAN i don't know what a
Speaker 3: game this. Was it was awesome to.
Speaker 7: Watch but you, know as A James harden fan for
Speaker 7: years and, years it's pretty hilarious that The clutches play
Speaker 7: of his career right now is a block on a
Speaker 7: three pointer shot By Leu.
Speaker 1: Dort oh, well, yeah, Okay SO i saw Clutch, fans
Speaker 1: which is A Rockets twitter. Account they tweeted AND i
Speaker 1: almost laughed out loud WHEN i read, it and THEN
Speaker 1: i was, LIKE i don't, know maybe it's some truth to,
Speaker 1: it SO i wanted to throw it At. Uli let's
Speaker 1: go to you, first they. Tweeted put this on his.
Speaker 1: Resume James harden had a game, winning series winning blocked
Speaker 1: shot with a second left in a game. Seven it
Speaker 1: deserves every bit of. Respect as A lillard or a
Speaker 1: doge it buzzer beating. Shut how do you react to?
Speaker 6: That not not to that. Level, NO i, mean if
Speaker 6: That's Steph curry Or Klay, thompson, maybe but if It's
Speaker 6: Lou dort and HE i know he's hot during the,
Speaker 6: game but It's Lou dort. STILL i, mean let's not
Speaker 6: get too carried. Away but he hustled on the, play,
Speaker 6: yeah and he got to it and it was. Clean
Speaker 6: and then and then he Also dort kind of tried
Speaker 6: to throw the ball off, him and he sort of
Speaker 6: had the awareness to sort of.
Speaker 1: Dance so very doing there like. THAT i was like
Speaker 1: confused with. That he now he had already stepped out of,
Speaker 1: bounds actually didn't. Matter BUT i, mean if he hadn't
Speaker 1: stepped out of, bounds he was, Like, dort just turn
Speaker 1: around and shoot it. AGAIN i don't know why you're
Speaker 1: trying to zip it off.
Speaker 4: Him you're gonna see that and dancing with the, stars,
Speaker 4: yeah for.
Speaker 6: Sure but the important thing, THOUGH i think to take
Speaker 6: out of that play is that as bad as he was,
Speaker 6: playing and we saw he missed a couple of those
Speaker 6: three by a, Mile James harden made a critical. DRIVE
Speaker 6: i think he was the one who passed THE. Pj
Speaker 6: tucker who put the rockets tam he, did he, did
Speaker 6: and then he you, know and then defensively he didn't
Speaker 6: let that affect his. Game so and the weird thing,
Speaker 6: IS i, mean from the start he.
Speaker 1: Shot his shot just looks.
Speaker 6: Awful in game, seven and he just looks so low on.
Speaker 6: Confidence but when he, drives And westbrook as, well when
Speaker 6: he drives as, well that's WHERE i thought the game
Speaker 6: was won for The. Thunder for The, ruckets just go,
Speaker 6: inside you can. Score you can get good looks all the.
Speaker 6: Time and that's what. Happened they kept the scoreboard. Ticking
Speaker 6: but so For James harden to be down slumped like,
Speaker 6: that knowing what was going to happen if The thunder
Speaker 6: win this, game for him to sort of stay in
Speaker 6: that MOMENT i think was very very important and very
Speaker 6: impressive for him, too because not known as a as
Speaker 6: a great defensive player and certainly not known as a
Speaker 6: sort of great shot blocker on a jump. Shooter so
Speaker 6: he got that clean because if he Fouls, dort you,
Speaker 6: Know dort goes the line to shoot. THREE i, mean
Speaker 6: who knows what. Happens but of course Then James harden's
Speaker 6: the bad guy if if he fouls.
Speaker 1: Even worse, exactly he scores seventeen in a game seven
Speaker 1: And dort went for thirty. Plus now you fouled him
Speaker 1: and put him on the line and maybe lost the. Series, yeah,
Speaker 1: no it would be.
Speaker 7: WORSE i THINK i thinks a great point By Jared
Speaker 7: thomas here in the chat he, Says James harden's a
Speaker 7: two way.
Speaker 3: Player now let's keep it, real.
Speaker 7: Folks that Wasn't James harden's only block in the last five,
Speaker 7: Minutes Chris paul out of bounds on a layup attempt
Speaker 7: at the rim as. Well harden was giving it his
Speaker 7: all game defensively more so than he was on, offense
Speaker 7: because you're, right he was a little pass. Happy it
Speaker 7: was a little bit Of westbrook take us. Home it's
Speaker 7: crazy that this game came down to A. Pj tucker.
Speaker 7: Floater has that guy shot a floater at all during the,
Speaker 7: SEASON i don't, know but it was the game winning
Speaker 7: basket with a minute twenty.
Speaker 4: Left. Yeah he was doing the interview ON espn after the. GAME.
Speaker 4: Pj tucker was with a big smile after hitting that.
Speaker 4: Floater and that's just not a good sign for The.
Speaker 4: Rockets it just it really isn't that they they the
Speaker 4: two guys didn't take over enough in this fourth quarter
Speaker 4: to win this.
Speaker 1: Game, well they maybe took over enough, defensively, THOUGH i,
Speaker 1: Mean i'll give. Him you, Know westbrook was everywhere on
Speaker 1: the last on these last couple of plays. Too, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: They locked, down but they should have blown. Out, okay
Speaker 4: see they should have in this in this game with
Speaker 4: with Lou dort going for thirty no. OFFENSE i love Lou.
Speaker 4: Dort the only thing that would have made the game
Speaker 4: better is If Scottie pippen tweeted in and, said Lou,
Speaker 4: dort rip up your four, year five point four million dollar.
Speaker 4: Contract you can do better than, that my. Man trust
Speaker 4: me that that WAS i just. Watching, yes we're going
Speaker 4: to talk about clutch. Plays his man Who jenobiliez block
Speaker 4: On James harden at the end of The Rocket spur,
Speaker 4: series the clutches play of his. CAREER i, mean we're
Speaker 4: talking about two Different we're talking about like two tiers,
Speaker 4: here clutch plays in first, rounds Even chris Paul. I
Speaker 4: the thing, is, yeah he didn't have a Good game,
Speaker 4: seven didn't come. Through but here in some clutch points
Speaker 4: earlier in this, Series Clutch, city clutch, points lots of
Speaker 4: lots of website talk out here, now but there's a.
Speaker 4: Tier there's a tier for clutch first, rounders clutch block
Speaker 4: From Dames harden and then you, know coming through clutch
Speaker 4: to win a conference finals or AN nba. Finals so,
Speaker 4: yeah it's clutch they can. Through but, really, Yeah James
Speaker 4: harden had to be had to be a better offensive.
Speaker 4: Player lots of good, defense but he needed to be better.
Speaker 4: Defensively and if he, is he's definitely had some. Drives
Speaker 4: but if he, is then they win by. Twenty, yeah
Speaker 4: and that's what he's AN mvp candidate for that. Reason
Speaker 4: it's just strange these game. Sevens i'm not going to
Speaker 4: pull up the stats, again but somehow they. Fall he
Speaker 4: just kind of falls. Down game six are, Good game
Speaker 4: seven not so, good and he'll come back to play
Speaker 4: better against The. Lakers but here we.
Speaker 3: Are that was.
Speaker 1: Ugly, Yeah covington sort of saved The rockets ass he
Speaker 1: hit a ton of threes for. Them Jeff, green he
Speaker 1: continues to hit threes for. Them Eric, GORDON i thought
Speaker 1: was good for good stretches of this. Game you, know
Speaker 1: those three guys.
Speaker 3: Went defensive plays late in the game as. Well he
Speaker 3: had quick.
Speaker 7: Hands gordon was playing defense as, Well guys that you
Speaker 7: didn't expect to play defense in the last minutes for The.
Speaker 3: Rockets they all showed.
Speaker 1: Up, right and then let's talk about you, know, okay
Speaker 1: see they have their chances. Here they're inbounding on the
Speaker 1: side a couple of, times felt like five times they
Speaker 1: had to look at. This let's possibly drop a play
Speaker 1: and see if we can do. ANYTHING i, know we
Speaker 1: got into it a little bit last, Night, Trey you
Speaker 1: AND i like talking about the play before the final,
Speaker 1: play the play where a timeout is. TAKEN i guess it,
Speaker 1: was or is that the one Where harden is Called?
Speaker 1: No that is, RIGHT i believe the timeout was called
Speaker 1: where it looks appears Like adams he has T. Pj,
Speaker 1: tucker SO i sealed if he wants there's a no
Speaker 1: one near the paint no one at. All there's obviously
Speaker 1: stuff going on over, here AND sga is looking at
Speaker 1: that because whatever they've drawn. Up but whether or, not,
Speaker 1: man was there a love pass right? There if Maybe
Speaker 1: adams just throws up his hand AND sja sees, it
Speaker 1: do you just throw that in? There there's only like
Speaker 1: a second what was at one point? One could something
Speaker 1: have happened there that obviously doesn't, Happen but, yeah do
Speaker 1: you want to be throwing it To Steven adams who
Speaker 1: looked gassed as it? Was why is he even out?
Speaker 1: THERE a lot of people are. WONDERING i, mean these
Speaker 1: last couple of things from the, thunder their execution or
Speaker 1: lack of, it left a lot of people scratch their.
Speaker 1: Heads what do you think of that? One and then
Speaker 1: even the final one that's sort of got blown up
Speaker 1: right at the.
Speaker 7: End, YEAH i didn't see a reason to Have Steven
Speaker 7: adams out. There you're, right it's probably. There the lob
Speaker 7: was probably there on the first. Time but Also Steven
Speaker 7: adams has been the fifth option for the entirety of his.
Speaker 7: Career he's been out there to set screens for the
Speaker 7: entirety of his. Career so now we're supposed to expect
Speaker 7: that he makes a sudden call in the last one
Speaker 7: second of a game seven to go and, score while
Speaker 7: we've got a guy playing in his first playoff series
Speaker 7: who's supposed to also break the play and throw a
Speaker 7: lob to the rim to score with one second. Left
Speaker 7: that to me is more after the matter of, facts
Speaker 7: when it should have Been Steven adams shouldn't have probably
Speaker 7: been on the. Court you should have probably had four
Speaker 7: great offensive. Players Maybe Chris paul could throw the inbound
Speaker 7: somebody you really trust to get a good pass, in
Speaker 7: to get a good play. IN i just Thought Billy
Speaker 7: donovan didn't have a great play called, up didn't have
Speaker 7: the right personnel out, there and you saw what. Happened
Speaker 7: it ended up being a play For Steven adams to
Speaker 7: get a catch and shoot three pointer not gonna. Work
Speaker 7: despite the fact that Stan Van gundy did mention that
Speaker 7: during The steven, games, Right he's, like maybe you find
Speaker 7: out a way to Get Steven adams.
Speaker 3: Free from the. Corner that one was a breck as.
Speaker 7: Well that's one they didn't even get a shot up
Speaker 7: despite having two chances at.
Speaker 6: It, yeah and just knowing how Good, Okay so you've
Speaker 6: been all season. Long it was really surprising to see
Speaker 6: them be so spotty with, that and Even Chris, paul
Speaker 6: as great as he's, been he took too, LONG i,
Speaker 6: think even to get that last possession going when they're
Speaker 6: trailing by a, point you're going to get into that
Speaker 6: a lot, QUICKER i, think so that if there is
Speaker 6: a shot and there's a chance for an offensive. REBOUND
Speaker 6: i thought that was a little bit strange that he
Speaker 6: didn't get into his spot a little bit.
Speaker 1: Quicker and you're talking about the one Where chris tries to,
Speaker 1: pass like eventually passes the ball and gets deflected by
Speaker 1: westbrook sga he gets it and then throws it To.
Speaker 6: Dora, yes, yeah, yeah he took too. LONG i think,
Speaker 6: again when you're, down you, know it's like you're giving
Speaker 6: the benefit of the win to the other. Team so
Speaker 6: get into your play. Quicker and if you make your,
Speaker 6: basket even if there's still ten seconds, ago the pressure
Speaker 6: is then on the other team that they have to.
Speaker 6: Score AND i think that was a little bit a
Speaker 6: little bit surprising For Chris. Paul but then, again he
Speaker 6: missed that little dinker there right in the paint there
Speaker 6: after the sort of, floppy, slippy, floppy whatever was going
Speaker 6: on there And Eric, gordon you, Know trey mentioned that his,
Speaker 6: defense he's actually been quite good On Chris paul a
Speaker 6: few times in this, series and you saw on that
Speaker 6: a couple of, plays especially that one Where Chris paul
Speaker 6: hit the three Over. COVENT i think it Was. Gordon
Speaker 6: he was fighting like anything to make sure that he
Speaker 6: couldn't get the, switch but eventually they, did SO i
Speaker 6: think that's one thing That Eric gordon. Was he was
Speaker 6: more up for the challenge In Robert, covington surprisingly. THOUGH
Speaker 6: i Mean Robin covington is, long he's, tall he's, athletic
Speaker 6: and he's a good. Defender But Chris paul just cooked
Speaker 6: him a couple of times.
Speaker 7: And really, yeah and he wants him every single, time every, Time,
Speaker 7: yeah which is.
Speaker 4: So much bigger than. Him it was a little water.
Speaker 7: Bug covington's a great help, defender but that's not a.
Speaker 7: Strength It's, garden a little guy at one on, one
Speaker 7: which is why it was impressive to See gordon fighting
Speaker 7: through the switches right to actually stick With Chris, paul
Speaker 7: because it paid off to stay at guard versus. Guard
Speaker 7: those two dudes save The.
Speaker 4: Rockets So Eric gordon And Robert covington just coming through
Speaker 4: and hitting shots when Again Hardener, westbrook we don't know
Speaker 4: what we're doing here on. Offense we're not going to
Speaker 4: take these shots. Here Robert covington shoot this. Thing he
Speaker 4: hit six, threes, massive six massive threes And Eric gordon
Speaker 4: five massive threes and playing their hearts. Out they really
Speaker 4: saved that. Crew.
Speaker 6: Well the other thing, is, okay see turn it over
Speaker 6: a ton of times and gave them a ton of
Speaker 6: second chance, opportunities which The rockets seemed to cash in a.
Speaker 6: Lot SO i think that's another. Thing you look back
Speaker 6: at this, game the amount of times The thunder had
Speaker 6: some careless turnovers and just couldn't even get a shot
Speaker 6: off or a good shot off came back to haunt
Speaker 6: them in the.
Speaker 4: End twenty eight points for The rockets off the okay see,
Speaker 4: turnovers that's a lot, time and only twelve For. Houston it. Was,
Speaker 4: yeah you can talk about every possession at the end,
Speaker 4: there Shake, gil Just, alexander even the Inbound Chris paul
Speaker 4: was right there like you should be kind of looking
Speaker 4: For Chris paul to shoot that. Thing But Chris paul
Speaker 4: came up short on on that one That lee just talked.
Speaker 4: About Chris paul just wasn't. RIGHT i think Just game.
Speaker 4: Seven sometimes you see it IN nba, players they don't
Speaker 4: play like, themselves. Right although you Know Shajy Gills alexander
Speaker 4: did hit that three point shot there in the. Corner
Speaker 4: it was there's just so many weird. Things Danilo gallinari
Speaker 4: is shooting that technical free.
Speaker 1: Throw that's WHAT i was going to Ask. LEO i
Speaker 1: wanted to get his take on. That why Was Chris
Speaker 1: paul not stepping up?
Speaker 6: There, No i'm okay with that Because Daniella gallinari takes
Speaker 6: their technical free throws all season. Long he's an eighty
Speaker 6: nine percent free throw, shooter So Chris paul's at eighty
Speaker 6: nine percent as. Well but that to me has been
Speaker 6: blown out of proportion because it wasn't as though Like
Speaker 6: Chris paul was shying away from. It That's gallinari is
Speaker 6: their free throw, shoot their technical free throw. Shooter so
Speaker 6: it took a ten And i'm more than happy With
Speaker 6: Danilo gallinari shooting free. Throws he's a very very, good smooth.
Speaker 6: Shooter and that one just rimmed.
Speaker 4: Out so how much does it play into it that
Speaker 4: he hadn't hit one all. Night it was over too
Speaker 4: And Chris paul was six for six from the.
Speaker 6: Line, THOUGH i, mean, like, sure there's an argument, there
Speaker 6: but that's Like gallinari is not some rookie who's just
Speaker 6: like you, know it's not Like Lou dort going to the.
Speaker 6: Line it's like this guy should be money at the.
Speaker 6: Line and again that's that's how that's who shoots their
Speaker 6: free throws this. Season SO i WASN'T i think that's
Speaker 6: been blown out a little.
Speaker 1: Bit you're right About. SHAY i, mean he hit the
Speaker 1: big three, late he hit, THREES i, mean and he
Speaker 1: did contribute, offensively BUT i thought so many times down
Speaker 1: the stretch he looks shook like HE i, mean, look
Speaker 1: you gotta these are the lumps you gotta take as a.
Speaker 1: Player this is, good you, know hopefully for his. Careers
Speaker 1: is good to be in a game seven with high
Speaker 1: stakes and everybody trying to flop their ass off and
Speaker 1: the crazy whistle and all, that just the. Madness but,
Speaker 1: yeah the INBOUNDS i, thought, Brutal LIKE i think he
Speaker 1: was scared to maybe be out there and being the
Speaker 1: guy to do. That AND i will even SAY i
Speaker 1: don't Think harden Blocks. Dort if that passes, Better, uh
Speaker 1: it's a bad. Pass now it's a crazy broken play
Speaker 1: credit To. WESTBROOK i don't you know why Is Chris
Speaker 1: paul giving it up and all, That but the pass
Speaker 1: From sga over To, dort it's. Bad it's way too.
Speaker 1: High dort grabs it. High then he's got a reload
Speaker 1: and that GIVES i think hard and just enough time
Speaker 1: to get out there and then eventually block. IT i
Speaker 1: think if that passes on the, MONEY i Think dort
Speaker 1: gets a look at the, SHOT i think he gets it.
Speaker 1: UP i don't Think harden has any chance to block. It, so,
Speaker 1: yeah just a couple and there's a couple other instances
Speaker 1: where you're just, like, yeah that's a that's a young
Speaker 1: guy out there that uh looks a little scared of
Speaker 1: the moment to be quite, frank but but you know
Speaker 1: it was there was a big. Three of, course that's
Speaker 1: a huge three at that point when no one could.
Speaker 1: Score so he did some good things, too but Crazy Dennis.
Speaker 4: Shuter Dennis shuter two games in a, row just going
Speaker 4: from the best player in the in the series for
Speaker 4: ok see uh. Too he just he was also just
Speaker 4: he was just kind of. Watching you, know he was
Speaker 4: really aggressive in the first few, games and he had
Speaker 4: opportunities to finish it off for, okay, see uh, nobody
Speaker 4: nobody could just take it for, them and so, yeah
Speaker 4: it was just. One it. Was it was a make
Speaker 4: or miss league out. There you, know that's what. Happens they.
Speaker 7: Miss it was, okay come, ON i, Mean i've taken my.
Speaker 7: Vow you guys are saying nobody just took. It, yeah
Speaker 7: Y allinari is the free throw, shooter but he couldn't get.
Speaker 7: Open Chris paul was right. There, yeah my, Vow my vow.
Speaker 7: Maintains But i'm just, saying when you after a game,
Speaker 7: six when you come out and say some people are
Speaker 7: built for, it and then you're not taking the free
Speaker 7: throw and you're not getting the last, shot where's the.
Speaker 7: CRITICISM i do feel Like Chris paul is getting a
Speaker 7: little bit.
Speaker 3: Of a pass.
Speaker 4: Here oh he had a bad fourth. Quarter he did
Speaker 4: not come. Through he did Not that was his game for,
Speaker 4: sure that's his game to take.
Speaker 7: OVER i, AGREE i, agree AND i, mean and to,
Speaker 7: me you're, right it's, like, Yeah, gallinari he's an eighty
Speaker 7: nine percent free throw. SHOOTER i still Want Chris paul
Speaker 7: to shoot. It Dwayne wade Wanted Chris paul to shoot.
Speaker 7: IT i don't know why he wasn't the guy.
Speaker 6: There i'd, LIKE i get why people Wanted Chris pauldish
Speaker 6: to do, it but, Again gallinari is the vet who's
Speaker 6: been doing it all. SEASON i don't really think there's
Speaker 6: too much to criticize. Him bat all That gallinari didn't
Speaker 6: have a great, game but he's a great. Shooter he's
Speaker 6: a great. Shooter and that free throw in that, MOMENT
Speaker 6: i was, like because as soon as he took, IT i,
Speaker 6: THOUGHT i wonder if people are going to bring something
Speaker 6: up about this and then and obviously everyone, did AND i, thought,
Speaker 6: yeah but IT'S i, mean you're Not you're not putting
Speaker 6: like a seventy five percent shooter line Or Chris paul
Speaker 6: was trying to avoid. Going it was, like And chris
Speaker 6: boul said off the, game he's shoot, up he shoots
Speaker 6: ettics and that's that's what. Happened he missed.
Speaker 1: IT i, mean, Yeah i'm not as worked up about
Speaker 1: the technical free, throw but the other stuff That trey is,
Speaker 1: saying like him giving up the ball there after talking
Speaker 1: a big game After game, Six, yeah that's that shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Happen like they can get a you can get a.
Speaker 1: Shot Chris paul was going to get a shot if
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more room. OPERATED i, mean, look
Speaker 1: we got to Knock Billy donovan for what's going on
Speaker 1: out here. Too some of these play. CALLS i, mean
Speaker 1: this is not. Pretty and, Yes westbrook maybe having played for,
Speaker 1: him knowing what they're doing half the, time he is.
Speaker 1: EVERYWHERE i felt Like westbrook was sort of everywhere to
Speaker 1: me in defensively last couple of. Possessions so credit to,
Speaker 1: Him credit to The rockets for fighting. Hard, yeah, Yeah
Speaker 1: Chris ball's got to shoot these And Billy donand's got
Speaker 1: to give them something a little better to work.
Speaker 3: WITH i.
Speaker 4: Think, Yeah westbrook had a great bounce back game as
Speaker 4: far as energy and not giving the ball away and
Speaker 4: setting his guys. Up that's what that's what he was
Speaker 4: called in for the reason that it was so ugly
Speaker 4: down to stretch was because guys Weren't the guys who
Speaker 4: were supposed to be taken over weren't taken, over and
Speaker 4: that's why all these broken plays made it a far
Speaker 4: less enjoyable. Watch than the other game we're going to talk,
Speaker 4: about even though the other game was riddled by two
Speaker 4: referees calls in the last fifteen, seconds wasn't much? Better oh, no,
Speaker 4: no it. Was it was way. Better it was way
Speaker 4: better forty seven minutes and forty eight seconds of better
Speaker 4: basketball than. This, okay See houston. Game it was way
Speaker 4: better to.
Speaker 1: Watch, Okay, well let's get to. That we will do
Speaker 1: Our Lakers rockets series preview and predictions on tomorrow show
Speaker 1: because that series starts On. Friday and by the, way
Speaker 1: we're going to get to Our Nuggets clippers series preview
Speaker 1: and prediction later in this, show so stick around for.
Speaker 1: That but, yeah, okay let's get to The Heat bucks.
Speaker 1: Game Jimmy. Butler he wins it at the buzzer on
Speaker 1: free throws least, favorite as The heat topped The bucks
Speaker 1: one sixteen fourteen to take the two to zero series.
Speaker 1: Lead we know How task feels about. It it was
Speaker 1: a better played game in his. Opinion But, tray you
Speaker 1: get a started. Here what was your big takeaway from?
Speaker 3: This i'm. Worried i'm worried for My bucks.
Speaker 7: Prediction i'm feeling a little bit like an, IDIOT a
Speaker 7: for going Against Jimmy butler and b for going against
Speaker 7: The heat team who has been incredible in the, bubble
Speaker 7: looking like.
Speaker 3: The far more, athletic effort giving.
Speaker 7: Team but the takeaway, is what in the world was
Speaker 7: going on with the? Referees like we think the referees
Speaker 7: were crazy in this game, SEVEN i don't know was
Speaker 7: this game too the referees even. Crazier, yes the way things,
Speaker 7: happened it was what a six point lead For miami
Speaker 7: with twenty seven seconds, left and somehow this ended up
Speaker 7: being an elam ending free throw shooting fest For Jimmy.
Speaker 7: Butler Per League. Official this is from a Sam amic.
Speaker 7: Report is the first time in a playoff game had
Speaker 7: been decided on free, throws was zero on the clock
Speaker 7: since nineteen seventy, nine only the third time it's ever. Happened,
Speaker 7: lee you had to have loved seeing a free throw
Speaker 7: game or a playoff game literally come down to untimed free.
Speaker 7: Throws we Got Kelly olynox sitting back there doing a
Speaker 7: yoga oppose at half, court waiting to see If jimmy's
Speaker 7: gonna knock these.
Speaker 3: Down it was.
Speaker 7: Crazy the foul calls on dragach at WHAT i guess
Speaker 7: it was a three. Pointer it felt like it was
Speaker 7: about half, court just standing perfectly straight. Up, Unfortunately torso un.
Speaker 3: Knees that's a.
Speaker 7: Foul and then the other way, back the worst makeup
Speaker 7: call of all. Time giannis Gives Jimmy butler a little
Speaker 7: pat on the. Back hey, man you can go shoot
Speaker 7: some pre throws as. Well what is going on here
Speaker 7: with the. Referees this is the problem with no home court.
Speaker 7: Advantage they should be getting booed heavily when these things are, happening, right,
Speaker 7: like they should at least have to feel the booze
Speaker 7: of making these.
Speaker 3: Calls.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah and then just on top of those two
Speaker 1: embarrassing calls, late it's like these guys were beating the
Speaker 1: shit out of each other for the final fourth quarter
Speaker 1: and like like like they were letting them play there
Speaker 1: for a good. Stretch things got. Insane, okay that's, fun
Speaker 1: that's playoff. BASKETBALL i got no problem with. That but
Speaker 1: then they call these ones and, yeah the draugage one
Speaker 1: task is a. Joke that's a, bad bad. Call he
Speaker 1: does not go under, him he does not do. Anything
Speaker 1: he's plym not.
Speaker 4: Saying it's a good. Call, Yeah and then of, course.
Speaker 1: The Jimmy butler one is just as. Bad it's the.
Speaker 1: Classic it was a makeup. Call you could see it
Speaker 1: coming from a mile, away because they're, like we really
Speaker 1: screwed up that. One if anyone even breathes On, jimmy
Speaker 1: call the whistle because we got to make up for.
Speaker 1: It and it's, like that's what they did because, HE i,
Speaker 1: Mean jannis touches him after the ball is out of
Speaker 1: his hands by a.
Speaker 4: Mile Mark. Davis Mark davis was right. There it looked
Speaker 4: like he wanted to call that, thing but let it
Speaker 4: looked a. Lot it reminded me a lot of twenty
Speaker 4: Eleven game. Two, okay see Versus miami in the, finals
Speaker 4: Where lebron Touched Kevin durant in the belly at a
Speaker 4: little teeny tiny touch at the end of the, game
Speaker 4: and there was no whistle because the last seconds of
Speaker 4: games are generally officiated different than the first forty seven
Speaker 4: minutes and fifty, seconds and they didn't call it, then
Speaker 4: AND i think even in that instan since that could
Speaker 4: have affected the. Shot but the Way giannis Touched jimmy
Speaker 4: did not affect a shot. Whatsoever it was after the.
Speaker 4: Fact it was totally after the. Fact and that's the
Speaker 4: problem with trying to officiate all forty eight minutes the exact.
Speaker 4: Same you don't want referees deciding the, game SO i
Speaker 4: think you have to you have to just say let it,
Speaker 4: go just, so just let that. GO i The goran
Speaker 4: dragic and then and then the other. CALL i feel
Speaker 4: a little less dirty because the right team won because
Speaker 4: there was a YAH i.
Speaker 1: AGREE i actually agree with. That they screwed up big
Speaker 1: time on the dragage. Call and then they were, like
Speaker 1: oh well, again if anybody even comes close to, him
Speaker 1: just call, it because we already screwed, Up we'll just call.
Speaker 1: It give him a. Chance at. Least that's exactly HOW i.
Speaker 1: Feel so in a, way you're right at the better.
Speaker 1: Team one game, too they did like the heat really
Speaker 1: deserved to win this. Game then they blew, it of,
Speaker 1: course and credit for The bucks for putting up some,
Speaker 1: fight but the dragage call is just was. GARBAGE i
Speaker 1: mean it's and THEN i can't even, believe you, Know Steve,
Speaker 1: javy get the fuck. IT'S i know it's, fun like
Speaker 1: it's we have a laugh about, it but it's also.
Speaker 1: Embarrassing it's making the league look. Worse we go to
Speaker 1: him and and he doubles down on every call ever
Speaker 1: and a lot of. THEM i get, it it's fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty. Here you're you're an experienced, referee you probably
Speaker 1: know the rules better than the average. Fan BUT i
Speaker 1: couldn't even believe that he was like trying to tell
Speaker 1: us that was the right. Call and credit To Doris
Speaker 1: bull for calling him out on.
Speaker 4: That like we got a great tweet of the night
Speaker 4: later one, okay that plays into this great Stuffy doris call.
Speaker 6: It doros has been trending just about every game she's
Speaker 6: been calling lately On twitter for saying something or doing something.
Speaker 6: Funny it's been. Hilarious but that was actually really. IMPORTANT
Speaker 6: i think That doris was basically, Saying, busch stay May
Speaker 6: no you're talking mate, Yet no you're. Not you're not
Speaker 6: a referee. ANYMORE i know you used to. Be but,
Speaker 6: no that's a crap, Call steve call at a crap
Speaker 6: call because it. Is and what they should do in that,
Speaker 6: situation this Is i'm proposing a new, rule is they
Speaker 6: should go up To Chris middleton, say is are you calling?
Speaker 6: That are you seriously going to call?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 6: No call your own fouls from now on in the
Speaker 6: last thirty second because Because, chris do you want to
Speaker 6: go to the line when everyone's, like, nah, man that
Speaker 6: was a terrible, call or are you going to be, like, yeah,
Speaker 6: nah he didn't found he didn't faidly play on Because
Speaker 6: I'm i'm Sure Chris middon would have said that he
Speaker 6: wouldn't have taken.
Speaker 7: That, wow, wow, interesting we're good touch.
Speaker 6: You there are there are times where you, know for
Speaker 6: all of, Us i'm sure you're watching game like there
Speaker 6: was no way that was a foul or vice, versa
Speaker 6: and then you look at the reflan and, go, oh,
Speaker 6: okay yeah they got that one.
Speaker 1: Right you, know there was a we see all the
Speaker 1: timely we. Do we see it on this podcast all the.
Speaker 1: Time it is got to be one of the most
Speaker 1: difficult jobs in, sports of, course to be AN nba,
Speaker 1: official with the talent on the, floor of the athleticism
Speaker 1: on the, floor the bang bang nature of these. CALLS
Speaker 1: i DON'T i don't know why you would ever want.
Speaker 6: To be a.
Speaker 1: Ref i've said that. Before it seems like an insane profession.
Speaker 3: Because it was easy to not be a.
Speaker 1: Ref we're all doing it right. Now, yeah well we Can, yeah,
Speaker 1: right well we. Can we can stop going To Steve javi, though,
Speaker 1: okay like we can cut this out of the broadcast
Speaker 1: because it's actually hurting the. PRODUCT i, believe in my,
Speaker 1: opinion it doesn't add. Anything he doesn't add.
Speaker 6: Anything it doesn't help when he does just sort of, say,
Speaker 6: well you, KNOW i did see some contact, There so
Speaker 6: it was down to interpretation the WAY i saw it
Speaker 6: a good, call you, know like that doesn't that doesn't
Speaker 6: help at. All but you know my point as. Well
Speaker 6: earlier in the, GAME i Think yanna's had three fouls
Speaker 6: and he drives inside and it looks like an offensive.
Speaker 6: Howl he gets call for the offensive foul and The
Speaker 6: bucks challenge it and it gets. Overturned AND i thought
Speaker 6: that was a bad overturn because you see that all
Speaker 6: the time where the guy's just sort of barreling in
Speaker 6: and he hits the, defender but they overturn. It and, now,
Speaker 6: Look yanna's had three fous it would have been his fourth.
Speaker 6: FOUL i wonder if those sorts of things come into
Speaker 6: it as, well BECAUSE i think that when you look at,
Speaker 6: that it's like that to, me there was not enough of,
Speaker 6: that you, know evidence to overturn the, call and so
Speaker 6: in this case as well With, middleton it was like,
Speaker 6: like it's a bad, call and now no one had
Speaker 6: a challenge. Either but at some point you've got to, say, oh,
Speaker 6: man this is a this is a terrible WELL i
Speaker 6: don't know how they do, it but to defend that
Speaker 6: is very. Bad but then, again you, know ultimately the
Speaker 6: hate do go on to win this, Game but if
Speaker 6: The bucks had somehow won that, game then the conspiracy
Speaker 6: theorists are out and out in full, force because it's, like,
Speaker 6: well the rest just wanted to make you, know THE
Speaker 6: nba wants to make this a close, series and they
Speaker 6: want to Save yannis the m V p and all
Speaker 6: that sort of. Stuff so it was a it was
Speaker 6: a bad look For Steve, javy bad look for the
Speaker 6: for the. GAME i LOVE i love.
Speaker 3: IT i want to see just how bad of a
Speaker 3: call he will.
Speaker 7: Defend the calls kept getting worse and, worse and you're,
Speaker 7: like how's he gonna do?
Speaker 3: It, man how's he gonna?
Speaker 4: Say this is?
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah Javvy's he's on fire for me right.
Speaker 3: Now he's the he's the guy you love to.
Speaker 7: Hate he's Like Paul hayman when he comes, up you
Speaker 7: know on The Jumbo, driver.
Speaker 3: Gonna say something to fire us.
Speaker 1: Up, YEAH i, know you're. RIGHT i was thinking of that.
Speaker 1: Too it's like it's getting more and more, extreme like
Speaker 1: someone's like gonna pull out like A samurai sword and
Speaker 1: just like cut somebody's arm. Off, nothing it's Go, steve you,
Speaker 1: know LIKE i could see what you're, saying BUT i
Speaker 1: actually think that's the right no call for you, KNOW
Speaker 1: i know we cleanly took off his right arm there
Speaker 1: with That samurai. Sword but, yeah like, yeah it's it's it.
Speaker 1: IS i guess it's, fun but it's also. Infuriating it really,
Speaker 1: is again credit To doris But.
Speaker 4: Yeah but the internet was calm Until Chris middleton rose
Speaker 4: up And Goran dragic was kind of around and didn't
Speaker 4: affect the shot and the whistle was. Blown we were
Speaker 4: good watching this game for forty seven minutes and fifty
Speaker 4: six year right to play, Right, yeah it was like it.
Speaker 4: Was it was a good. Game and and really those
Speaker 4: all those the free throw thing And Jimmy butler got
Speaker 4: saved a little bit because of that horrendous pass that
Speaker 4: you know To Brook lopez underneath his.
Speaker 6: Own right, defense right.
Speaker 4: Defense, yeah, yeah well great defense from a guy who
Speaker 4: doesn't usually get any. Credit Kyle korver with part part
Speaker 4: of that double there And George. Hill, yeah but, y'all
Speaker 4: so have a time, Out Jimmy beer and you're in
Speaker 4: front of your own bench and you're up four. Points
Speaker 4: he just, also don't throw.
Speaker 1: It to your own. Net if you're gonna call it a,
Speaker 1: bounds do at least like chuck it off, them like
Speaker 1: try to do a, door did you know WHAT i?
Speaker 1: Mean like you see that every once in a, while
Speaker 1: you should just call the time. Out but you're putting
Speaker 1: it to the biggest guy on the court right under the.
Speaker 4: Rim it's just crazy to See Jimmy butler go into
Speaker 4: a fourth. Quarter we all talked About jimmy and then
Speaker 4: he just he wasn't a big part of the offense
Speaker 4: at all yet eight points going into the fourth. Quarter
Speaker 4: he hit five free throws in the fourth, quarter and you,
Speaker 4: know a couple of them were because there was a
Speaker 4: makeup call at the end of the. Game so he
Speaker 4: just why he wasn't the fourth quarter option it, was
Speaker 4: but like he went into it and he and there's
Speaker 4: that great article on The athletic he, said there's a
Speaker 4: lot of guys that can do that for us going
Speaker 4: into game, two it might not be. Me and it was,
Speaker 4: like are you are you setting this? Up are you trolling?
Speaker 4: Us and, yeah the heat were just they were. Awesome
Speaker 4: they looked so so. Good AND i don't, know you
Speaker 4: guys actually want to talk about, basketball.
Speaker 1: But, yeah, sure, SURE i MEAN i will say one
Speaker 1: more thing about the free. Throw Jimmy butler, SAID i
Speaker 1: WISH i could kick it in there and say that's
Speaker 1: HOW i won.
Speaker 4: It What Jimmy butler is, hilarious.
Speaker 1: Weirdo he's saying when he gets fould and he goes
Speaker 1: to the line to win the game on a buzzer
Speaker 1: beating free, throw he wished he could have kicked it, It,
Speaker 1: tess you, know because there was a soccer related sort
Speaker 1: of like it was almost like a penalty shot.
Speaker 4: Type, yeah felt it felt like A pk With Kelly.
Speaker 4: Olini they're back there At midport Watching come, on, man
Speaker 4: It's Roberto. Benini what's not Not Roberto? Benini Roberto.
Speaker 1: Roberto.
Speaker 4: Benini the direct.
Speaker 1: Beautiful but then you, Also jimmy like wapping up the
Speaker 1: virtual board like like you a, guy just absolutely.
Speaker 4: And another line for Pat riley walking, in walking, out he,
Speaker 4: said you're, Good you're not going to have a. Stroke
Speaker 4: you're you're in good. Condition to Pat, Riley you're not
Speaker 4: going to have a, stroke is what he said to.
Speaker 4: HIM i don't know if that's a hit at The,
Speaker 4: president BUT i don't. KNOW i don't know what that.
Speaker 1: Was let's talk a little bit about the, game because,
Speaker 1: yeah he did try to give it. AWAY i thought
Speaker 1: The bucks in the third, QUARTER i guess it was
Speaker 1: it felt like they short of they sort of showed
Speaker 1: up like The bucks defense that we sort of knew
Speaker 1: from the regular. SEASON i thought they did ramp it
Speaker 1: up there to start to make this a. Game and,
Speaker 1: yeah look we can get into the. Hall what's bodenholes
Speaker 1: are Doing lee with sitting his guys. STILL i, mean you're,
Speaker 1: honest you, know fowls come into play. Here but he's
Speaker 1: still he is extra conservative when it comes to these
Speaker 1: guys in terms of their minutes and not even allowing
Speaker 1: them to play when they sometimes get into foul.
Speaker 6: Trouble what do you, Think, YEAH i guess he's sort
Speaker 6: of relying on what got them. There he's, like this
Speaker 6: is how we played during the regular. Season i'm not
Speaker 6: going to change things, now but of course in the,
Speaker 6: playoffs that's when you do need to change. Things you
Speaker 6: need to make adjustments because you're going up against a team,
Speaker 6: that again is so well prepared and, honestly like you
Speaker 6: mentioned the third, quarter AND i think you're right, there
Speaker 6: because in that first half it was only six, points
Speaker 6: but it felt like The heat were in total control to,
Speaker 6: me and it was, like, wow The bucks Are they're
Speaker 6: scrapping just to stay close to the team that they
Speaker 6: really should be in control, of and they. Weren't but
Speaker 6: they did start playing with a bit more, intensity in
Speaker 6: a bit more, effort And yanna said some free throws
Speaker 6: and so it sort of started to flow a little
Speaker 6: bit for. Them but THEN i think it Was Kyle
Speaker 6: korver hit a, three and then after that then The
Speaker 6: heat sort of went on a bit of another run
Speaker 6: to sort of stretch the lead out. Again so it's
Speaker 6: going to be interesting to see what happens now With
Speaker 6: bootonholes in game, three does he just decide again If
Speaker 6: yanniss Or middleton are not in foul, Trouble i've just
Speaker 6: got to play these guys forty. Minutes Kyle korner only
Speaker 6: played ten minutes last. Night BUT i thought In game
Speaker 6: one they had a little bit too much of an
Speaker 6: alliance On Kyle. Kora he's a great. SHOOTER i love,
Speaker 6: him he's a, veteran but he should be out there
Speaker 6: for like spot minutes here and. There he shouldn't be
Speaker 6: a big part of their. Rotation AND i thought he
Speaker 6: played a little bit too many. Minutes tightened up again
Speaker 6: in that game. Too But Mike bodenholes is under a
Speaker 6: lot of pressure. Here he needs to find a way
Speaker 6: to come, out not just get a, win but a
Speaker 6: sort of convincing, performance a forty eight minute convincing. Performance
Speaker 6: that's of course on you stop. Plays but the, coach
Speaker 6: it seems to me that he's looking over, there light,
Speaker 6: gown save me a little, bit here, goes rather than
Speaker 6: making strong moves that are actually gonna put his team in.
Speaker 1: Control he needs to try something. ELSE i don't think
Speaker 1: he can just keep banging his head in the wall
Speaker 1: here and just hoping and praying that it's gonna go
Speaker 1: like the regular season. Does it didn't work last year
Speaker 1: for your, BUTTON i don't think it's gonna work again
Speaker 1: against this heat THAT i, SAID i tweeted Like it
Speaker 1: felt like to me that the heat as this game
Speaker 1: went on was, like we can end them right. Now
Speaker 1: we can win if we win this. Game and it sounds,
Speaker 1: insane it's only game, two but if we win this,
Speaker 1: game they're, they're they're, they're they're probably gonna have a
Speaker 1: lose face in their in their, coach maybe, themselves and
Speaker 1: maybe they just want to get the hell out of
Speaker 1: here IS i thought the intensity From, miami AND i
Speaker 1: know they always play, hard but really was cranked a
Speaker 1: spinal tap eleven Here, trey where it was, like we
Speaker 1: can end. Them this might be, Over like we Can
Speaker 1: we know we can beat, them and they may not
Speaker 1: know they can beat or start to lose faith in
Speaker 1: that they can beat us four times. HERE i tell
Speaker 1: you that's the TAKE i from this. One the vibe of.
Speaker 3: It, YEAH i feel the same.
Speaker 7: Way this series reminds me of when The spurs won
Speaker 7: the first two games against The thunder back in the,
Speaker 7: day but then The thunder came back using their athleticism
Speaker 7: and their length and their, effort and it just kind
Speaker 7: of turned the tide because when you look at the
Speaker 7: fourth quarter and you Got George hill And Kyle korver
Speaker 7: out there for The, Bucks it's, like what what these
Speaker 7: guys are playing crunch time? Minutes they tried to do
Speaker 7: this With lebron in twenty eighteen and it didn't, Work
Speaker 7: and it's like you Got bam out Of bayo out
Speaker 7: there playing Against. Giannis bam was on the floor for
Speaker 7: twenty four minutes of last night's. Game the guy was,
Speaker 7: everywhere falling, down trying to dunk on, people taking, charges getting,
Speaker 7: bumped like he was giving every single bit of, effort
Speaker 7: and that didn't necessarily feel like what The bucks were.
Speaker 7: DOING i Thought jiannis was great in the last six.
Speaker 7: Minutes he was super, aggressive he was running people, over
Speaker 7: he was getting to his Weird euro. Steps but that
Speaker 7: hasn't been the case for you, know the entire forty eight.
Speaker 7: Minutes when you're talking adjustments, wise you look At giannis's minute,
Speaker 7: Total he's at thirty, Six so Is Jimmy. Butler Chris
Speaker 7: middleton was a foul, trouble he was at thirty three,
Speaker 7: minutes so Is bam out Of.
Speaker 3: Bio so, YEAH i, Mean.
Speaker 7: Bud probably needs to ride his guys a little bit,
Speaker 7: harder just because what Is Kyle korver gonna?
Speaker 3: Do like he was.
Speaker 7: Great that was a nice. Trap he can hit some.
Speaker 7: Threes he's been consistent for. Them he's knocked down, shots
Speaker 7: no doubt in this playoff. Series but relying On corver
Speaker 7: to be a key piece in the fourth quarter of
Speaker 7: a game in twenty, twenty that is.
Speaker 3: Tough.
Speaker 7: Man just it seems like getting nothing From content And
Speaker 7: devincenzo is more of a problem than you would.
Speaker 3: Have expected for The.
Speaker 7: Bucks they just look completely outclassed so. Far the series
Speaker 7: can still, turn but it's not looking.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 7: Miami it feels like sees and smells blood in the
Speaker 7: water and they are ready to just bring the effort To,
Speaker 7: milwaukee And milwaukee hasn't hit first.
Speaker 1: Yet, yeah BUT i think has to, realize, right, Like,
Speaker 1: OKAY i get, it we want to play you on
Speaker 1: his thirty six minutes because we want him at one
Speaker 1: hundred percent in those thirty six, minutes or the same With, Middleton,
Speaker 1: Right but he also has to know if we play
Speaker 1: them forty four minutes and we only get at them
Speaker 1: at like eighty, five ninety percent whatever it, is that's
Speaker 1: still better than these guys who just Listed trey that
Speaker 1: are playing those. Minutes it just is he's the damn
Speaker 1: two TIME. Mvp so if he's a little more gassed
Speaker 1: for some, possessions, sorry it's still. Better it's like way.
Speaker 1: Better AND i don't know if he'll. CHANGE i don't
Speaker 1: know just how stubborn this guy is when it comes
Speaker 1: to making. ADJUSTMENTS i don't know what you.
Speaker 4: Think, Tas, yeah he did scale it back or you,
Speaker 4: know reel it in a touch going into a game two.
Speaker 4: Here BUT i totally agree watching their offense and watching you,
Speaker 4: Know giannis And Chris middleton and this sort of system
Speaker 4: where everybody's gonna get a touch and everybody's gonna touch
Speaker 4: it outside on the. Perimeter it's there's no faith In
Speaker 4: Pac contan to hit a three point. Shot he's not
Speaker 4: a great three point. Shooter And dante De, vincenzo we
Speaker 4: watched him through the bubble seating. Games he just didn't
Speaker 4: play all that. Well he just wasn't ready to take.
Speaker 4: That i'm more of a in The George hill. CAMP
Speaker 4: i think you know him playing some corner mitz is
Speaker 4: actually sort of makes sense Because Eric blitzoe struggles at.
Speaker 4: Times George hill actually did chip in with some, minutes
Speaker 4: but shortenly. Rotate you don't need to play. Ten there
Speaker 4: is a, reason there is a reason all coaches go
Speaker 4: from ten to, eleven Like Mike bunholzer has been playing
Speaker 4: through these first two games to. EIGHT i, mean just
Speaker 4: cut those guys out, here because you're right about The,
Speaker 4: hey we're gonna we're gonna get better eighty five percent
Speaker 4: Of giannis than we are of one hundred percent Of
Speaker 4: Don David tevincenzo And Pat. Conton and they got all
Speaker 4: the oldies out there on the, Bench Marvin, Williams Kyl
Speaker 4: korver And George hill trying to chip. In Maybe Kyal
Speaker 4: korver should just stand at the three point line and
Speaker 4: jump and hope somebody fouls them because they're calling that
Speaker 4: every single, play somebody is getting fouled out. There but,
Speaker 4: yeah that they have to scale back the, minutes AND
Speaker 4: i JUST i don't know if it's gonna. Happen that being,
Speaker 4: SAID i do want to put this on the players
Speaker 4: a little, bit because the fourth quarter it wasn't. PRETTY
Speaker 4: i wrote down all THE wtf moments from The bucks
Speaker 4: just in the fourth there's a lot of. Them lopez
Speaker 4: hand off To middleton is a handoff to The Miami.
Speaker 4: Heat they can't do a dho a dribble, handoff bledsoe,
Speaker 4: off bounce a shot early in the shot, clock or
Speaker 4: he grabbed that rebound and just kind of like threw
Speaker 4: it up for what. Reason Middleton entry passed The. Lopez
Speaker 4: everybody in the world knew it was. Coming it was
Speaker 4: telegraphed Shared.
Speaker 1: Jones junior, right or he comes from.
Speaker 4: Behind yet, yeah they doubled it and it was Every
Speaker 4: this is The heat defense number one and number. Two
Speaker 4: he didn't pass it, immediately just he was just. Waiting
Speaker 4: and Then matthews passes up at three and Then yanna,
Speaker 4: says give it to me with a lob and he
Speaker 4: just lined it at him and there was a turnover
Speaker 4: with the bled so passed To Jimmy butler That Jimmy
Speaker 4: butler intercepted in the, corner which was a very nice,
Speaker 4: interception but bad. Pass and Then middleton missed the. Layup
Speaker 4: it was just a, layup which. Happens but there's just
Speaker 4: a lot of moments here where they could have played.
Speaker 4: Better AND i think just the last Thing, trade you,
Speaker 4: know touched on The Miami heat coming into this. Thing
Speaker 4: they are working their asses off for forty eight minutes
Speaker 4: while The bucks aren't every single. Possession Goran dragic a
Speaker 4: guy you don't think about defense at. All just watch
Speaker 4: him how hard he is scrapping to get into every. Play,
Speaker 4: yeah bams on the. Floor everybody who's playing is scrapping
Speaker 4: and if, not they're. Off so, look The heat are
Speaker 4: also going. Deep they're also playing a lot of, guys
Speaker 4: but those guys are playing, well and then that's the.
Speaker 4: Difference they're. Playing they're playing ten, guys but those guys
Speaker 4: are just they're they're playing, great and then The bucks
Speaker 4: guys aren't The and The bucks guys definitely picked it.
Speaker 4: Up The giannis block in the middle of the second
Speaker 4: quarter On Jimmy BUTLER i think kind of shook, him
Speaker 4: shook The heat a little bit and brought The bucks
Speaker 4: to a new. Level but they're not playing like that every,
Speaker 4: Minute and so we thought coming into the, series are
Speaker 4: The heat just not going to be able to score
Speaker 4: but outwork The bucks or The bucks talent level going
Speaker 4: to Be is it going to rise to the occasion? Here,
Speaker 4: well the talent level can rise to. OCCASION i think
Speaker 4: if they play those guys more and they got to
Speaker 4: bring some more, INTENSITY i think The heat have just
Speaker 4: they've L, yeah this.
Speaker 1: Is the first number five seed to take a two
Speaker 1: zero series lead over a number one. Seed that has
Speaker 1: never happened before, here so that's a little, interesting he.
Speaker 1: Said Phoeba dragas there once, again really really impressive early,
Speaker 1: on and that's steal from behind where he like dove
Speaker 1: to grab this steal like midway through the third quarter's
Speaker 1: he is leaving it all out. There Tyler hero another
Speaker 1: seventeen off the. Bench he had another big fourth quarter three.
Speaker 1: TOO i think that was after a timeout they drew
Speaker 1: it up for. Him Jay, crowder this guy's letting it.
Speaker 3: Fly he's.
Speaker 1: There Marcus smart right, now you know Former celtic he
Speaker 1: four for twelve from deep And Derek Jones. Junior that's
Speaker 1: a perfect, example like you're talking about task of like
Speaker 1: those guys getting spot minutes for the. Heat they're bringing,
Speaker 1: it whereas The bucks guys are. Not Because Derek Jones,
Speaker 1: JUNIOR i thought he had some like really impactful fourth
Speaker 1: quarter minutes like blocks and, steals and he had a
Speaker 1: crazy crazy layup he hit. Late so he's really really
Speaker 1: solid for the.
Speaker 6: Heat, yeah he probably wasn't gonna play, though If iggy
Speaker 6: doesn't get. Injured so, yeah that's, true you, know but
Speaker 6: that's more credit to the hate that they players are
Speaker 6: always ready because he actually played quite a bit against The.
Speaker 6: Pacers BUT i Guess sposters didn't like him out there
Speaker 6: in those first first game and a. Half but THEN
Speaker 6: i was, like all, right we need you when he
Speaker 6: went out and. Performed, yeah and.
Speaker 4: He took his regular season experience of Guarding. Giannis smarter
Speaker 4: people than. Us On The athletic wrote About Derek Joe
Speaker 4: junior could be a bit of A Janis garter In
Speaker 4: i'm not going to call him a, stopper but A
Speaker 4: Janis garter in this. Series and yeah he. Was they.
Speaker 4: Knew they just know every possession of what they're, doing.
Speaker 4: Right they're scrambling the way they collapse and then recover to,
Speaker 4: everybody it's like somebody playing the accordion Collapse boom bang boom,
Speaker 4: band like the it's in and out and in and,
Speaker 4: out and they're just all over the place at all.
Speaker 4: Times it's it's fun to watch him on, defense and
Speaker 4: The bucks have that. Too but, yeah like you mentioned
Speaker 4: The Gordon draich, recovery the band, recovery they don't have
Speaker 4: that all the time right. Now they're getting to. Play
Speaker 4: it's just. Wild Jimmy butler has eight shots in this.
Speaker 4: Game Goran drives is leading the way with eighteen shots
Speaker 4: in this, game and they. Win Because Gordon drois is
Speaker 4: an unheralded. Guy he just he just keeps doing his,
Speaker 4: thing and this is his this is his premier playoff.
Speaker 4: ROLE i guess like this is the most he's ever
Speaker 4: shown in the playoffs really as a sort of a
Speaker 4: one a.
Speaker 1: Guy, yeah on a team that looks like it could
Speaker 1: go obviously to a conference, finals maybe even a, Finals
Speaker 1: so for. SURE a couple more, notes just random. Notes,
Speaker 1: Lee you're always bringing up The simpsons here on the.
Speaker 1: SHOW i can't believe you haven't mentioned The Jimmy butler
Speaker 1: turning Into Homer simpson Or curly From Three stooges on
Speaker 1: that jump ball where he's like he's going around in a.
Speaker 6: Circle, YEAH i saw you tweet. THAT a few people
Speaker 6: tweeted out that was pretty hilarious them do that little
Speaker 6: Little it was Even Brook. LOPEZ i think it. Wasn't
Speaker 6: they kind of got tangled up.
Speaker 4: There, yeah that was.
Speaker 1: Funny, again the classic Weirdo jimmy. Moment AND i thought
Speaker 1: of this watching this. Game, now this one's really, strange really.
Speaker 1: Random note The Miami heat could throw out the very
Speaker 1: Rare No dunks lineup if they wanted. To, no we
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, yet but this is WHAT i mean by. This,
Speaker 1: Okay i'm, dragic will go with me as Dragg i'm
Speaker 1: gonna Go, lee You're Duncan, robinson you're the three point. Shooter,
Speaker 1: Genie i'm gonna make You Meyers leonard because we haven't
Speaker 1: seen a lot Of Myers, leonard but he's still contributing
Speaker 1: from the. BENCH i, mean have you Seen Myers leonard over?
Speaker 1: There that guy is. VOCAL i, mean he's like an assistant.
Speaker 7: Coach he's got some great. Reactions somebody yesterday he was, like,
Speaker 7: yeah that's the only reason they got him.
Speaker 1: There and THEN i was. TORN i was, like Is
Speaker 1: Trey tyler hero or is He kelly Olinok, now you're
Speaker 1: a big man that can shoot the three in real,
Speaker 1: life But i'm actually making You Tyler Hero trey because
Speaker 1: you're the young, guy a useful guy in this. Group

Speaker 1: That, well, yeah your wife just talking about your smooth
Speaker 1: balls on a smooth. Ball all, Right, well let's get
Speaker 1: to the manscaped series. Here it's The Clippers. Nuggets this
Speaker 1: one tips Today thursday at nine Pm eastern ON.
Speaker 6: Tnt interrupt, says this is weird because that is my,
Speaker 6: sister not as.
Speaker 3: No, okay, WELL.
Speaker 4: I guess this is all. Weird now it's gotten.
Speaker 6: Weird good, good it's.
Speaker 4: Too weird for a. Husband he's at it all.
Speaker 1: Right The clippers took two out of three regular season,
Speaker 1: games including a one twenty four one eleven victory in The.
Speaker 1: Bubble so let's get to the keys to this Series Clippers,
Speaker 1: nuggets and then we'll make our predictions. Task get it.
Speaker 1: Started what are you?
Speaker 4: Watching, Well Jamal murray is going to be the now
Speaker 4: number one objective for The clippers, Defensively they're just going
Speaker 4: to be Watching Jamal. Murray AND i think this is
Speaker 4: gonna be the one series Where Kawhi leonard has to Guard.
Speaker 4: JAMAL i think whoever's playing point guard for them is
Speaker 4: going to be too little to Guard Jamal, murray whether
Speaker 4: It's beverly Or Landry, shamont AND i Think Paul george
Speaker 4: is too. Big so it's just gonna work out That
Speaker 4: leonard is going to be On jamal. Primarily that's going
Speaker 4: to be as matchup like it has been the last
Speaker 4: two times that they played during this regular. Season so
Speaker 4: that's going to be exciting just Watching leonard have to
Speaker 4: exert a lot of, energy expend. Energy you, know it's
Speaker 4: not just your playing pick and. Roll Jamal, murray he's
Speaker 4: going to give up the ball and he's going to
Speaker 4: freak and run around off ball and he's going to be.
Speaker 4: Dancing AND i, think you, know we know that guys
Speaker 4: are going to help out with those GUYS i just,
Speaker 4: mentioned and if it's The, zubots this is going to
Speaker 4: be a really, big really big series for. Him we
Speaker 4: saw what happened In. Utah If Rudy gobert comes up
Speaker 4: and Plays Jamal, murray things, change the numbers. Change so
Speaker 4: that's gonna be their, huge huge. Focus this is going
Speaker 4: to be so hard For Jamal murray to go come
Speaker 4: after what he just. Did now he's gonna be Watching Kawhi.
Speaker 4: Leonard AND i Think kawhi can sort of lock in
Speaker 4: on this end of the floor BECAUSE i think this
Speaker 4: Is Paul george's series to take over on the other,
Speaker 4: end AND i think it's Good Paul. George he's he
Speaker 4: feels like he just had a nice fresh manscape. Grooming
Speaker 4: the fact that the fact that this is a new
Speaker 4: series he should, feel you, know a little. Rejuvenated also
Speaker 4: because he's not gonna have a tough. ASSIGNMENT i think
Speaker 4: going up on the other, END i Think Jeremy grant's
Speaker 4: gonna be Guarding kwhile like he has all, year And
Speaker 4: Paul george is gonna get millsap Or Tory craig is
Speaker 4: a little too small for, him Or Michael. PORTER i
Speaker 4: don't know about. That So Paul george should have the
Speaker 4: freedom and the ability just because the, defender he's gonna
Speaker 4: have him on to go, offensively And kawhi can expend
Speaker 4: all that. Energy SO i think that's what's gonna. Happen
Speaker 4: we're gonna Have we're gonna Get jamal come back to
Speaker 4: earth a little, bit because this is The clippers defense.
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah kawhi And Patrick, BEVERLEY i, mean you're, right
Speaker 1: they just sort of made life miserable For murray in
Speaker 1: the regular season, matchups and they would do that to
Speaker 1: a lot of. People so we'll see what we get
Speaker 1: From kitchener's. Finess, Lee let's go to you BECAUSE i
Speaker 1: know it's playoff p related And task was talking about.
Speaker 1: Him you think he's the key here for The clippers moving.
Speaker 6: Forward, well THAT'S i think a very important thing now
Speaker 6: for him and The clippers going. Forward he had eighteen
Speaker 6: points on that first round against The mavericks on thirty
Speaker 6: six percent shooting from, two but only twenty seven percent from.
Speaker 6: Downtown now he's talked up a big game and he
Speaker 6: had a very good game In game five against The
Speaker 6: mavericks in that blowout. Win and if he's more like
Speaker 6: playoff p in that, situation THEN i think The clippers
Speaker 6: win this year is pretty. Easily but if he's not, that,
Speaker 6: then you, know it does give it opens the door
Speaker 6: a little bit here For. Denver So i'm Expecting Paul
Speaker 6: george to sort of go into this feeling a little
Speaker 6: bit more, confident a little bit. Happier you. Know he
Speaker 6: said he spoke to the team psychiatrists to sort of
Speaker 6: deal with those issues he was, having you, know with
Speaker 6: the mental side of the. Game SO i think now
Speaker 6: that he had such a good, response he's going to
Speaker 6: just be a little bit more comfortable going out there to.
Speaker 6: Play and this is his time now to step up
Speaker 6: and deliver as. Well we Know kawhi is going to be.
Speaker 6: Great we know the clips has got very good role,
Speaker 6: players but he is not a role. Player he's a star.
Speaker 6: Player and now going up Against denver who don't have
Speaker 6: a great defensive matchup for. Him he should be able
Speaker 6: to feast out. There he really should on the offensive,
Speaker 6: end and if he, can then the clip is going
Speaker 6: to look so much. Better SO i think he's going
Speaker 6: to go into this series feeling, Like, okay got that
Speaker 6: first one out of the. Way now playoff p is
Speaker 6: going to show. Up AND i hope he does because
Speaker 6: he is exciting to watch when he.
Speaker 3: Gets it go.
Speaker 6: On but you know he hasn't hasn't done it consistently
Speaker 6: yet for The clippers for.
Speaker 7: Sure what about, You, trey what are you watching in
Speaker 7: This we got to See game, Seven Nikoli, jokic every
Speaker 7: single game for The Denver nuggets to pull off this, upset,
Speaker 7: because Like tass is, saying whether It's kawhi or whether
Speaker 7: It's Patrick, beverley it's gonna be a tougher matchup For Jamal.
Speaker 7: Murray and if you saw his interview With Scott Van
Speaker 7: pelt after Their game, seven Van pelt told him you
Speaker 7: got to play On, thursday And jamal was, like you've
Speaker 7: got to play in two more.
Speaker 3: Days like this guy's.
Speaker 7: Already exhausted and now he's got to go play against
Speaker 7: one of the best perimeter defensive teams and the entire.
Speaker 7: League so you imagine he's going to be a little
Speaker 7: bit slowed no matter who they put on, him which
Speaker 7: means That jokic has to take advantage of the advantage
Speaker 7: he has in this, series which is playing Against Aviatza.
Speaker 3: Zubats he's got to be able to put him in the.
Speaker 3: Basket he's got to be able to score from.
Speaker 7: Outside, Surely jokic is going to bring them all up
Speaker 7: sometimes and create shots for The. Nuggets and then he's
Speaker 7: also got to bring it. Defensively he's got to clear
Speaker 7: the glass for The, nuggets and he's got, to you,
Speaker 7: know do his little getting his hands in the, way
Speaker 7: maybe step up a little more so that we don't
Speaker 7: just See Kwhi leonard hitting a parade of eighteen footers
Speaker 7: off the pick and. Roll this is gonna be a
Speaker 7: big series For. Jokic we've seen that he can show
Speaker 7: up in the. Playoffs he had an Incredible game. Seven
Speaker 7: he hit the clutch, shot he hit the game winner
Speaker 7: with the ground. Hook he's just got to be like
Speaker 7: that for every single game if The nuggets are going
Speaker 7: to be able to compete against The.
Speaker 3: Clippers, Yeah i'm with you on.
Speaker 1: That for them to have any, chance he's got to
Speaker 1: be their best. Player he might have to be the
Speaker 1: best player on the floor in some of those games
Speaker 1: for them to actually have a chance to pull this.
Speaker 1: Off but at Least denver's best player with all the
Speaker 1: attention that you would assume is going to be put on,
Speaker 1: Too Jamal, murray that's a great. Call the only Thing
Speaker 1: i'll add to this is The. Nuggets The nuggets three
Speaker 1: point defense is key to this series for them to
Speaker 1: win some. Games but really it's just, LUCK i, think
Speaker 1: AND i, mean they just got to hope The clippers
Speaker 1: miss some of these looks because if you looked up
Speaker 1: the numbers in the first round for The. Nuggets in
Speaker 1: the four games they, Won utah shot thirty eight percent from,
Speaker 1: three which is still pretty damn. Good but in the
Speaker 1: games they, Lost utah hit forty seven percent from, Three
Speaker 1: so no chance. There bad news for. Them The clippers
Speaker 1: are good three point shooting. Team their third best three
Speaker 1: point shooting team in the, playoffs and we're really good
Speaker 1: during the regular season two around thirty seven percent over
Speaker 1: the whole. Year SO i Know schumann pointed out, too
Speaker 1: they they they're really good at the catch and shoot
Speaker 1: three point, percentage so they're good at, that and that's
Speaker 1: where the pick and roll action comes. In it's gonna
Speaker 1: be decisions to be made with The. Nuggets what are
Speaker 1: we doing? Here because you know The clippers are gonna
Speaker 1: run pick and rolls and if you're, helping and you
Speaker 1: might have, to they're gonna be guys opening the sides
Speaker 1: and on the corners and they're gonna get their. Looks
Speaker 1: so you just gotta pray that they miss some. HERE
Speaker 1: i think really comes down to. THAT i don't think
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to be picking The nuggets
Speaker 1: to win this. Series but they need The clippers to
Speaker 1: go ice cold in a couple of these games from,
Speaker 1: distance and they Need Jeremy, Grant Michael, Porter Tory craig
Speaker 1: to AND i throw In Gary harris who's been nice
Speaker 1: cold but then just come. Back they need them to
Speaker 1: hit threes too to counterbalance, that because they're good out
Speaker 1: there a lot of those guys, defensively but, man when
Speaker 1: they can chip in the little three andy, there that's.
Speaker 1: Great so three point shooting will be massive here for
Speaker 1: The nuggets to pull off. THIS i wonder if The
Speaker 1: clippers are looking ahead, already you, know is there any
Speaker 1: concern about. That let's get to our predictions, tasks like
Speaker 1: could they be overlooking The nuggets at, all thinking of
Speaker 1: The lakers maybe in a conference, finals and would that
Speaker 1: help the chances of The nuggets to get a game or?
Speaker 1: Two what's your.
Speaker 4: PREDICTION i don't think The clippers are overlooking, anybody especially
Speaker 4: after getting shook to the core By Luka doncics just.
Speaker 4: Now they saw What Jamal murray did as, well AND
Speaker 4: i think this is a decent matchup For Vitza, zubats
Speaker 4: his fellow bulk and Brother Nikola jokic to be guarding.
Speaker 4: HIM i think they match up well And Jamal marie
Speaker 4: it's probably a little. TIRED i think they're going to be,
Speaker 4: ready Especially, yeah after having to just deal with a
Speaker 4: guard all series. Long they Have they just did. It
Speaker 4: they just did their, homework you, know the way it,
Speaker 4: was the way it worked out in round. One SO
Speaker 4: i think they went in.
Speaker 1: Five, Okay clippers in. FIVE i have a weird feeling
Speaker 1: this is going to be a popular pick, Here But,
Speaker 1: lee where are you? Going?
Speaker 6: YEAH i want to give The nuggets two, games BUT
Speaker 6: i JUST i just can't. REALLY i think they've Got
Speaker 6: Jamal murray the star who's going to drag them to one.
Speaker 6: Win but, Overall Kawhi, leonard he's, rested he's, fresh he's
Speaker 6: ready to. Go he's too much of a handful for.
Speaker 6: Them and at times against The, jazz The nuggets looked
Speaker 6: awful and other Times murray And jokic kind of saved.
Speaker 6: Them but outside of those, Two i'm NOT i don't
Speaker 6: have a whole lot of confidence in those guys now
Speaker 6: going up against The. Clippers So i'm also taking The
Speaker 6: nuggets in. FIVE i want to pick them in, six
Speaker 6: But i'm not going.
Speaker 1: To there is A Michael porter revenge angle to this,
Speaker 1: series is there? Not in The clippers overlook him a
Speaker 1: couple of, times and he's an leg and all. That
Speaker 1: maybe you'll come fired. Up But, trey where you go
Speaker 1: and do you? Go sweep you? Go clips and five
Speaker 1: clips and six where you?
Speaker 3: Fall, Well i'm definitely on The.
Speaker 7: CLIPPERS i think that they are getting better as the
Speaker 7: playoffs go on as. Well Montrez harrell was late to the,
Speaker 7: bubble has performance improved throughout the course of the series
Speaker 7: against The. Mavericks at some point they're going to Get
Speaker 7: Patrick beverley, Back they're gonna get, healthier they're going to
Speaker 7: get a little bit more. Cohesion but you, know The
Speaker 7: nuggets have been playing a lot of tough. Games it's
Speaker 7: apparently a shooter's gym down. THERE i have confidence they
Speaker 7: can get. Hot give me The clippers in, Six clippers in.
Speaker 1: Six so he's got The nuggets taken. TWO i don't mind.
Speaker 1: It i'm ultimately gonna go With clippers in. FIVE i
Speaker 1: thought long and hard about a sweep, here But clippers
Speaker 1: just feel like a team, that you, know with a
Speaker 1: lot of guys on that squad that just like to
Speaker 1: talk a big game sometimes and maybe are looking ahead
Speaker 1: and thinking titles that they might give one away or
Speaker 1: The nuggets might grab that. Win BUT i Think clippers
Speaker 1: in five is it feels like the safe bet here
Speaker 1: in this. Series but let's hear from you. Guys tweet
Speaker 1: at us at no dunk stick three of, us clip
