1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Jordan. Yeah, can you do an impression of John mulaney

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: smashing grapes at a wine vineyard?

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not gonna.

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Can't believe how many greats there are to smuss.

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 3: I could smush these all day, and I'd never smuss enough.

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: we should get started right now. We'll start with the

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: Western Conference matchups. We'll make our way to the East.

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: But let's start with Sunday's great game between the Lakers

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: and Wolves. Anthony Edwards forty three point masterpiece, helping the

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: Wolves win that thriller to take a very very important

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: three to one series lead. I mean, these two games

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: all the weekend between these two teams were both awesome,

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: and the Wolves took care of business in both of

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 3: them day for the second consecutive game task the Wolves

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: were like the smarter, more disciplined team down the stretch,

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 3: and that was really led by Anthony vers.

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Yes, starts with Anthony Edwards answering all those questions we

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: and everybody had going into the postseason. Was he gonna

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: make the right reads when the devils came? Was he

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: going to make the right passes? Was he gonna be decisive?

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 2: What is he still going to go to the free

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: throw line? Was he going to hit those big three

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: point shots when he wasn't driving? He answered all those questions.

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: Going to the fourth quarter. He saw Luca guarding him,

36
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: Bang bang, first two possessions, he hit those. He hit

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: the first eleven points of the fourth quarter for the

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves. The guy was just feeling it from the

39
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: three point line. But as I said, the driving, the

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: getting to the free throw line, going to the free

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: throw line five times in that fourth quarter was really

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: to go along with that sixteen point performance. He went forward.

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: In the words of John Krasinski, Yeah, he wanted to

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: taste the jugular and he did. He really did. That

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: taste for the jugular was very, very apparent going at

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: Luca and Lebron earlier in the game. But he relies

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: on everybody else to get him to the fourth quarter.

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: He relies on Juwis Randall in the first half, Donte

49
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: di Vincenzo and nas Reed, especially towards the last few minutes.

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: They're running plays for nas Reed.

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he can't miss in the fourth quarter of

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: the series. It's a perfect nine.

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just come through again. He's running around a

54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: pick to bomb away a three from deep with minutes

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: left in this game. So yeah, they just came through

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: while the other team didn't have enough guys. We mentioned

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: all the Timberwols, all the Timberwls players because they went

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: three on the three deep on the bench. All those

59
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: guys came through. All the Lakers they played five.

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: They played five guys in the second half. Yeah, that's crazy,

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: It is actually crazy. I mean I took the Lakers

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: to win this one thinking a they probably have the

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: best player in the series and Luka Doncic. They might

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: have the two best players in Luca and Lebron, and

65
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: the Lakers I thought would be the smarter clutch team

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: and both of those things have been completely false. So far.

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards has been the best player in this series.

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: He's completely taken it to Luca every time he sees

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Luca on him. And he's been the best clutch player

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: in this series, which is crazy. For how the Wolves

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: season went, I think they won forty three percent of

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: their clutch games, but in the last two games in

73
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and eleven and a half points per

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: game fifty four percent, shooting, four assists, zero turnovers. He

75
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: had those three contested threes basically to start the fourth quarter.

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Then you look at the complete stats for the Lakers

77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: in their last two games, Luca has three clutch points,

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: he's won for three. Lebron has taken two shots in

79
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the clutch, hasn't scored in the last two games for

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Meanwhile, Minnesota has outscored LA twenty five to eleven,

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: shooting sixty three percent during that time. Basically, they sub

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: go bear out in their offense, goes insane. It's part

83
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: nas reed, and it's part Anthony ed getting to the hoop.

84
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: He just really put it together. I guess he's just

85
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: a playoff riser. Like he had a good season, a

86
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: great three point shooting season. There were some concerns in

87
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: the clutch that he was taken too many threes. He

88
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: wasn't taking too many threes, I thought in this game,

89
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: or really in Game three either, but man, his ability

90
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: to get to the rim. He's invented this new side

91
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: step move where he goes to the left with a

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: step through. He's a Euro stepping to the left. Worked

93
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: twice in this game. Just incredible stuff from the Wolves,

94
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: and they're completely wearing out the Lakers. The Lakers are

95
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: leading through the first three quarters of these last three

96
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: games and then get completely ran off the floor in

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Maybe maybe maybe play another guy?

98
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's right. I think it was. The Star

99
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: Tribune put it this way. JJ Reddick employed a fifth

100
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: grade AAU basketball strategy on Sunday, the one where a

101
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: coach picks his five best players and he only plays

102
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: them in trying to win the championship. That's what he did.

103
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: I mean.

104
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: Reddick started the second half with Dorian Finney Smith in

105
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: Jackson Hayes' place. Okay, you know we keep getting these

106
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: Hayes starts that he plays for like four or five

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: minutes and he's gone. It was DFS, Lebron Ruey, Austin

108
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Reeves and Luca and that has been their best lineup,

109
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: especially when you're looking at like their centerless best lineup.

110
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: But Reddick just ran with them the entire second half

111
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: cause he didn't trust anybody. And look, they were great

112
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: in the third quarter, but there is no doubt they

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: started to fatigue in the fourth. You have a forty

114
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: year old guy, you have Luca, maybe not the greatest

115
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: condition athlete on the planet, but like you just look

116
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: at the shot selection. That's what I looked at in

117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. They hit one field goal that wasn't

118
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: a three one. It was like a Luca like tough

119
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: turnaround jumper with like seven minutes to go the one,

120
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: and you know, he looked over at the fans who

121
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: were talking crap, that was it, And that to me

122
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: is just like they like, I mean, NOAs Reed did

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: a great job a couple of times on Luca, like

124
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: Luca couldn't get buy him.

125
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Luca can't get buy anybody in the fourth quarter. Right now,

126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: he needs somebody to set him a screen, but they're

127
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: playing small ball. You know who should set him a screen,

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: Lebron James. Yeah, maybe that guy is doing nothing in

129
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: the fourth quarters. He was basically an afterthought, I thought,

130
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: offensively until the last minute when he missed them to

131
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: open three and then had a turnover. Not great. No,

132
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: those minutes are turning both Lebron and Luca into one

133
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: way players. Luca's getting targeted every time. Defensively, Lebron is

134
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: making awesome defensive plays. He was a demon on the

135
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: defensive end the fourth quarter, but he's an afterthought offensively. Meanwhile,

136
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Luca is trying to carry the offense very stagnant. I

137
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: would like to see something going on outside of Luca

138
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: trying to get an ISO and go buy somebody. Somebody

139
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: set him a screen. It should be Lebron, because what

140
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: are you gonna do in that scenario. Get Lebron the

141
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: ball in a short role, let him make a play,

142
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: or maybe let Lebron handle the ball.

143
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: He's done it before, I've seen it. But again, I

144
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: think a part of it is just say our gas.

145
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: By the time they get to that point, in the game,

146
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: like hey should have. I mean there is no doubt,

147
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: of course we're looking back at it, but like probably

148
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: when you built that lead in that third quarter, there

149
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: was probably a little bit of a time there to

150
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: maybe get one, if not both those guys out, maybe

151
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: at least one, just another minute rest between the quarters,

152
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: like it might have helped, yeah, and been enough. But

153
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: you know, awesome stuff again from the other side with

154
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: the Wolves, like you guys said, an it was amazing.

155
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: Aunt got him back into the game like that, like

156
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: you said, suddenly you're right back into it. I love

157
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: this quote like from Devincenzo after the game too. He's

158
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: like he's like basically Edwards is a mirror for the team,

159
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: so he just like infuses that belief in his teammates,

160
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: Like the guy always believes you're still in the game

161
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: because like you got me, so we're good. And like

162
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: he's just cut from the same cloth as your Jordan's

163
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: and your Kobe's. I mean, he's young, he's got a

164
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: lot to prove still. But if you don't see it,

165
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: like then you're blind. He just he's just that sort

166
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: of psycho in a good way. And then you said,

167
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: no's Reid and Devincenzo, everybody helping out. They just had

168
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: more contribution.

169
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: That's the best thing about it is they get him

170
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: into a postgame interview and the first thing he says

171
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: is Jade McDaniels, nos, Reid. Yeah, he talks about everybody

172
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: else before they get to him, even though he dominated.

173
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he truly wants to go for it. That

174
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: taste for the jugular is real and you could see

175
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: that it was there last year too, And of course,

176
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: and that's why, just looking at the stats, how bad

177
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: they were in the clutch this season, I thought, well,

178
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: they were bad in the clutch going into the last

179
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: year's playoffs. But somehow it's this guy. They rely on

180
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: this guy. You can we can name all their guys

181
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: and how Juwis Randall was really good in this game,

182
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: and he was reliable in the first half. He scored

183
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: twenty one points in the first half to get them

184
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: to that second half. And you can definitely mention Jade

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: McDaniels in this series has been awesome. Sixteen eleven in

186
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: this one, and nas reed to get them there in

187
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and there are again two monstrous threes

188
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: in the last four minutes you can name so many guys,

189
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: but it all starts with Anthony. Oh, there's no doubt

190
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: because he is so freakin good right now. This is

191
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: the best version of him. And yeah, to compare him

192
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: to Kobe and MJ, just to put him in the

193
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: same breath, it's fine because they have that same mentality.

194
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: You could see it on the floor when he was,

195
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: you know, bumping with Lebron over and loves it. Yeah,

196
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: he loves it. He loves it.

197
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: He's up for the challenge. He'll step to the challenge.

198
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: He doesn't care that these guys are legends. Anthony Edwards

199
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: is like, in front of our very eyes, turning into

200
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: Randy Orton.

201
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: To drop a.

202
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: Wrestling reference on you, He's turning into the legend killer.

203
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: He beat Durant last year, he beat Yo Kitchen. He

204
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: might I know, I'm jinxing it. Maybe here, but might

205
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: take down Lebron and Luke in the same series, and

206
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 3: who knows where.

207
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Else they go.

208
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the play staff the next round.

209
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: Could be Steph Like I'm saying, man this and Randy

210
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: Orton He's okay, I know everybody, So it's fun as hell.

211
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: Let's get into some of the controversy from this game though,

212
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: no shortage of that all weekend long. But even in

213
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: this game, you know, Reddick was pretty damn pissed that, Hey,

214
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: Luca got tripped there by McDaniels where he fell to

215
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: the to the ground in the back court. They called

216
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: the time out. Yeah, so they can you know, contain

217
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: maintain control of the ball. But that then really led

218
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: to that turnover. When you think about it, like bad

219
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: passed by Lebron. But it had to go into the

220
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: front court because there's like a one second difference between

221
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: the shot clock. I mean, it was gonna be an

222
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: eight second violation. You can't go back court otherwise you

223
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: gotta get over in a hurry. So he had to

224
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: force it front court.

225
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: Three guys ran to the same spot. Absolutely, this I

226
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: think would be uh. I think JJ would admit not

227
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: my best game. I thought JJ didn't wasn't really he

228
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't play anybody, He didn't run plays, and like they're yeah,

229
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: execution in a moment like that where they got to

230
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: get an inbounds play, you gotta have your best one

231
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: get an open guy, not three guys converging at the

232
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: same spot. It was a turnover waiting to happen.

233
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, if there was a way to make Lebron more

234
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: energetic than JJ Field in that regard, like just the

235
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: sit because you could see, I mean he missed the

236
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: layup with four minutes left. He just looked tired. If

237
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: there was any time you could do some body language inspection,

238
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: it was Lebron looking tired on the bench. I mean

239
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: he was just gassed every time. You'd never really see

240
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: Lebron tired, but he was truly truly tired. And Luca

241
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: also wasn't great in the regular season when it came

242
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: to fourth course came to second half, he was getting

243
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: worse as the game went on. It's not just because

244
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: he's un fit, but also because of his injury and

245
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: how he got there with the front of the MAVs

246
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: calve injury. So he just didn't play a lot of

247
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: second half. So yeah, you could definitely look at that,

248
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.

249
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: And then of course the big like overturned call was

250
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: the one where Anthony Edwards drives it. I mean he

251
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: made a cut, he even turned to sort of handed

252
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: it off to him, and then it looks like Ant slips.

253
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: But while he's slipping, Lebron like wipes down, wipes down

254
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 3: at the ball, excuse me, and they say on the floor,

255
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: Lakers ball. So they're gonna have a chance here. But

256
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: then you know, Anthony right away, let's call let's look

257
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: at that. I think I got hit, and they awarded

258
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: free throws after they overruled that, you know, he had

259
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: lost the ball. Instead, there was a foul called on

260
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: Lebron swiping down. Like I said, now, Lebron says he

261
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: got you know, all you got hand. The hand is

262
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: part of the ball, and I think that overhead shot

263
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 3: maybe shows a little wrist.

264
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: There as well, the hawkeye.

265
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: For grainy overhead hawkeye camera.

266
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: It's a little crazy though, to go to a replay

267
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: of the god's eye view only that one six foot

268
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: eight tall referee could ever possibly call that kind of

269
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: a foul. No other human I can see that. Yeah,

270
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: that is kind of weird.

271
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was. I thought it was all

272
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: hand out live right, But then when you saw the

273
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: camera it was wrist.

274
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I can't disagree with that. When you see

275
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: that camera, the camera we never see until now, Yes,

276
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: but like in real time, I was like, oh, that's

277
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 3: gonna be Lakers ball. Because again Anthony was also slipping,

278
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: and then yeah, you know, obviously it's Lebron James. You

279
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: have to factor in that just and like sort of

280
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: maybe they they sort of maybe whether you want to

281
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: agree or not. Blew the one where was Luca tripped

282
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: you know again Reddick and the Lakers think he was,

283
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: but they didn't call that, so I thought, yeah, this

284
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: is gonna be Lakers ball.

285
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: But that was huge.

286
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: And then Aunt gotta go to the line, hits both

287
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: free throws. Beau, he's got the clutch.

288
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Gans also crazy that the proximate foul rule exists because

289
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: it went against the Timberwolves last year. That's right, So

290
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: that's why Anthony Edwards knew. He's like review this. This

291
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: is what we went to the commission.

292
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: For last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good

293
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: point of games. What a game. So obviously Game five

294
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: back in LA, do you, I mean, I know you

295
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: had the Wolves in this series. Do either of you

296
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: think that the Lakers can still get in this series

297
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: or is this something that like wraps up here on

298
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: whenever they play? When do they play Tuesday or Wednesday?

299
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: I can't remember it. Yeah, it's a nice gap here

300
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: for them because the Lakers don't seem to have enough guys,

301
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: Like they're playing like five six guys.

302
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting worn down over the course of games.

303
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: So over the course of series I think is even

304
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: more so. A little bit extra rest I think is

305
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: advantageous for the Lakers the series shifts back home, but

306
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: I would imagine at the very least the sends timber

307
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: Wolves in six if they don't come out and hit

308
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: twenty threes again like they did in Game one.

309
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a strange one because the Lakers, they got

310
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: their best performance offensively in Game four. This is their

311
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: highest scoring game of the series by far, and I.

312
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: Mean it was Real's best game of the series.

313
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it came through it.

314
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: Reeves had a pretty damn impressive second half after going

315
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: scoreless in the first, and like I mean, we didn't

316
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: even talk about it, but got a pretty damn good

317
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: look in the corner all things considered. Yeah, to tie

318
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: the game up. Some strange defense there, I thought from

319
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: the Wolves, but obviously didn't hit that one. But it's

320
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: just yeah, again, it's just the five guys tried.

321
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it would help to have somebody out there

322
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: that's big to throw out there. It would help instead

323
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: of Lebron having to play twenty four minutes at the

324
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: center or you know whatever you call it, Dorry Finny

325
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: Smith at the center, all those guys, He's always had

326
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: somebody with a little bit of height just to play

327
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: some minutes. Whether it's Timofay Moscov or Tristan Thompson or

328
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: JaVale McGee or Dwight Howard or in the good days,

329
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. They just need somebody and then to keep

330
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: going with that.

331
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: Even think about Luca and his success last year against

332
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: this very Wolves team. He had a rim running big

333
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: out there a lot of the time, Like how many

334
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: lops did he have in that series?

335
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: He needs?

336
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: And that is like they just don't have it.

337
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: He should be able to get by in naz Reid,

338
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: but he can't. He literally can't right now. He needs

339
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: somebody to set him screen. And Lebron needs a big

340
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: guy to save his body for fourth quarters. Yeah, Mark Williams,

341
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Alex lenn remember that time he played.

342
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: He's on the roster.

343
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah he is there. I seen him.

344
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, somehow worse than Jackson anything else from this one man,

345
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: what a game? What a weekend?

346
00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: Like what great Weekend's great reviews, great week got in

347
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: miss calls.

348
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, great weekend for Hawkeye, not not the superhero.

349
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Well maybe it was too. I don't know a movie.

350
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Hilarious trailer man. Thunderbolts are so anonymous the characters in

351
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: it that they have to put the names of the

352
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: characters in the trailer.

353
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know that.

354
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know who task Master is?

355
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: No, I didn't think.

356
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: So this sounds like you're not going to watch Thunderbolts

357
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: in theater.

358
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Who knows? Movie? I love the theater. Experiment, experiencement experience.

359
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: I love experiments too.

360
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

361
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: All right, well let's go and sticking in the West here,

362
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: we're going back to a few great Saturday games. Aaron

363
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: Gordon save the Nuggets, probably save their series, their season,

364
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: with a buzzer beating dunk at the end of Game four.

365
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: Denver tried to give this one away. They led by

366
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: twenty two. They're up eighty seven to sixty five early

367
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. Then they started turning the ball over.

368
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: Here come the Clippers. But then you got some heroics

369
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: from Yokic in the final minute or so, and then

370
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: he coursed the airballs his final shot attempt, but perfect

371
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon, Yeah, perfect spot, and just after obviously some

372
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: lengthy reviews. I guess some people think, did he get

373
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: it off in time? But you can be the judge.

374
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: I think he did. When you go to the old Hawkeye,

375
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: can't bra that it just leaves his fingertips before that

376
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: thing lights up on the backboard. But what an absolute

377
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: bunker's play. And we'll show it to you a couple

378
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: times here.

379
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: It's so nice that Jokic missed a shot like that

380
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: because it's in the absolute perfect spot. It hits off

381
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: the rim. He's not getting a dunk, but we're questioning

382
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: whether or not he got it off in time when

383
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: it's a dunk that's already in the frickin' rim. I

384
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: know it's maybe touching his fingers. I'm glad that it

385
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: ended the game. I'm glad. I'm glad it didn't that

386
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: it wasn't on his fingertips. Glad he doesn't have Jon

387
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: Rondo fingernails, because I guess it could have been on there.

388
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: But it was just an incredible play. I'm just glad

389
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: it was a dunk and that we don't say, oh no,

390
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: his finger was touching it as his finger were in

391
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: the freaking rim. That would be super weird. But yeah,

392
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: they went to the Sombor shuffle, as he said postgame,

393
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: and the war shuffle worked out perfectly. That was That

394
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: was a great ending to a great fourth quarter. As

395
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: you said, the Clippers coming back.

396
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god, running out the one one three zone.

397
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 3: We saw multiple possessions of the one to one three zone,

398
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: which the Clippers almost never run zone, and they're like, oh,

399
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: let's give it a go. And yeah, I got them

400
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: back into it. Denver was not scoring on it for

401
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: the most part until k took over sort of.

402
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: The Clippers comeback was awesome. It was the zone defense.

403
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: I personally don't know if I would call that a

404
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: one one three well, you know, just two three with

405
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: guys picking Upovich was a guy up higher, but you're right, well, yeah,

406
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: this guy he's picking the ball, handsler up. Doesn't matter

407
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Bogdanovic versus Yokic. Yeah, Yo couldn't get the ball because

408
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: Bogdanovic is guarding him. Obviously, those guys are Serbian teammates.

409
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: On offense, they were just so smart about the way

410
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: they were attacking the Nuggets, Like if Yokic wasn't drop

411
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: Harden was going to the rim if they got a

412
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: cross match. Kawhi Leonard gets Michael Porter Junior him after

413
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: a miss, Kawai goes down into the post. The Clippers

414
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: just played it awesomely, and then it kind of came

415
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: down to Jokic versus Zubats. The last three possessions, the

416
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: first one was an offensive foul, the second one was

417
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: the exact same play. It was a defensive file this time,

418
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: and then it was an airball. Airball is an advantage

419
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: for the offense because it's hard to box out on

420
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: an airball because you're not a chick. Actually, sure where

421
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. You're thinking maybe it's gonna come off

422
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: a little harder Aaron Gordon in the exact right place.

423
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: There are screenshots where the LED lights are half lit up. Yeah,

424
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: and he's touching it.

425
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's that one. Did we even, sorry,

426
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: j D, I didn't notice. He did have the the

427
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 3: Hawkeye one going like this is the one that really

428
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: I think if you're a Nuggets fan, or even just

429
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: if you're like a neutral fan, you're like, okay, yeah

430
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: that is good at least again this crazy camera angle. Yeah,

431
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: it does appear once that lights up, then it's off

432
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: his fingertips with his hand in the rim there on

433
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: the right hand.

434
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: So there's enough frames per second. I pop. People were complaining.

435
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: My father in law, who's a commercial editor, said come on,

436
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: we need faster cameras. And then bang, here comes the hawkeye.

437
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: The hawkeye came through this. It's something that every organization uses.

438
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Front office used for analytics, but we never see it ever.

439
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: We don't see it until until we need it. And

440
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: the Nuggets were maxing out there, guys. We talked about

441
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: the Lakers playing so many guys, are playing their guys

442
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: so many minutes. The Nuggets did the same thing. All

443
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: five of their guys played forty two minutes, all five starters,

444
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: and they just used a little Peyton Watson. But I

445
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: guess they were gassed. I don't know what the rules

446
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: are at times, because you mentioned he gets called for

447
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 2: the offensive foul, and then he gets called for the

448
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: defense gets called for the foul. It's it's so hard

449
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: to tell you here.

450
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 3: And that's when where he was screaming. It was the

451
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: same thing.

452
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: He was furious when he was furious when the call

453
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: went against him on the offensive file. That when he

454
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: got the call. The second time, he was even.

455
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: More so, what come on?

456
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: I guess maybe on the first one he kind of

457
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: like had zubats his arm a little too.

458
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was grabbing way more on the first one.

459
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the second one he locked him in there. Parton style.

460
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: But this is the most angry we've ever seen Yoka's

461
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: just in general period. They need him. They needed him

462
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: obviously to save this freaking series. You can see he

463
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: is their motion on that team.

464
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd be angry too if I was doing two

465
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: jobs and only getting paid for one. He's their best

466
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: player and he's their coach. Now, this guy's coaching them.

467
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: He's Bill Russell. It's amazing.

468
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy, man, give me the ball.

469
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 3: Well, that's coaching. He's doing more than that. He's literally

470
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: telling DeAndre Jordan, hey you sub in, Hey you go

471
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: over here. We're moving this, we're running this play. He's

472
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: it feels like he's coaching them.

473
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: They're running. They're gonna run a lob tall guy get in.

474
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: That's essentially what he's And David Adams like, yeah, you're right,

475
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: what an ending. The Clippers didn't deserve to be in

476
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: this game. It sure felt like they weren't playing hard

477
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: enough in the third quarter. This was a game where

478
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: they're sort of disappearing. That's when the Nuggets pulled it off. Yeah,

479
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: and that monstrous lead Harden wasn't there in this game.

480
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: And then that fourth quarter was so fun. They got

481
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: to pull off Chris don because he's not hitting shot

482
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: bugged the mcdonoch. You come in and he was so

483
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: good against you. And that's also why you just don't

484
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: know what the rules are, because bog Dan was so

485
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: physical with not letting him get the ball. He was

486
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: all over him.

487
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: You can do it when you're a smaller guy. Yeah,

488
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 3: that you can just be so handy, so physical and.

489
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's not flopping, isn't No, he's hitting me. No,

490
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: he's just taking he's absorbing on every little part of it.

491
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, and the put back from bog Daan was awesome.

492
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 2: So he was one of their best five guys. So

493
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: they played them. It's such a it's such an odd

494
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: team because Ben Simmons is sitting there, and then but

495
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 2: Toom sitting there, and then Derek Jones Junior, a guy

496
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 2: who got to the finals last year, is sitting there.

497
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: They've got so many guys, and they called upon the

498
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: right one to sort of get them there. It's a

499
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: great freaking series.

500
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is the third game in the

501
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 3: series decided by three or fewer points. I mean, this

502
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: could have been a Clipper sweep. I mean, Westbrook save

503
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: their ass in the game one he went bonkers, and

504
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 3: then obviously been another close game. But the Clippers got

505
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: that one and then this one. I mean it should

506
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: be I mean, really three one. I guess it would

507
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 3: have gone to overtime. It was a tide game, right game.

508
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: Who knows what happened in the extra five minutes, but

509
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: you know, obviously the Clippers were rolling at that point.

510
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: It looked like the Nuggets were runing out of steam,

511
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: just like you said the Lakers were. I think that's

512
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: such a fun dilemma for I guess coach Attlman or

513
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: coach Okich, whatever one When you get the big lead

514
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 3: there in the third quarter, it is a like a well,

515
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: what do we do do We sit our guy, our

516
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: superstar for a couple of minutes, try and get them

517
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: a quick blow here and then bring them back in

518
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: to close it. Or what they seem to do to

519
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: me was like we can we can end this maybe

520
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 3: in the first three or four minutes. We're up so

521
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 3: big that then we can rest our guy for you know,

522
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: final five or six minutes and then lead that into

523
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: game five. And you know, obviously sort.

524
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: Of backfired, but definitely what they tried.

525
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what they tried. We gotta like put them away,

526
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: We gotta get this game out of hand so we

527
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: can get the scrubs in NFL.

528
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: I'm saying this from the outside, but they must have

529
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: felt like, this is our series right here. If we

530
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: lose this thing, we can't go down three.

531
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think Reddick felt the same way too, Yeah, yeah,

532
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 3: anything else.

533
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was thirty six and twenty one for you, kitch.

534
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we said it. What a line?

535
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: What a line?

536
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: And it felt like, yeah, he played pretty good, you

537
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: can still go up another level. I do wonder if

538
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: a Jamal Murray game is incoming soon. It's coming maybe

539
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: twenty one points, twenty three points, twenty three points, thirteen

540
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: only in game four, But like you're saying, tasks, Chris

541
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: Dunn's minutes are dwindling. He's gone thirty one, twenty nine,

542
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: then twenty two and twenty one in games three and four,

543
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: hasn't played the last two fourth quarters. Bogdanovic was awesome,

544
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, but I don't know if I

545
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: would trust him to stick Jamal Murray for an entire game.

546
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: The Nuggets are getting a lot more bold about leaving

547
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Chris Dunn open as well, so his minutes might get

548
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: slashed even more, and that would be advantage Murray, which

549
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: would be huge for the Nuggets to get him off

550
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: the court.

551
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 3: I think we also had, I guess, pretty rare scuffle

552
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: that ended with six guys. I think it was getting

553
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: technical fels.

554
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: Thats a long list of names.

555
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was six three each sort of

556
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 3: cancel each other out. This was the one where.

557
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: Harden who who did Christian Brown?

558
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: He got into it Christian Brown right, and then Eric

559
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: Gordon did not like that. He screaming in to everybody

560
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 3: started shoving.

561
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 2: That probably helped out the Nuggets so woke them up.

562
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: I mean it was right after that that their third

563
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: quarter was awesome. True, that was their season.

564
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 3: Trying to punk us.

565
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that peeved off Jokic, I guess, even though jo

566
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 2: wasn't involved.

567
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh god, that one on the broadcast I don't know

568
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: what it was, but he said, no close fist punches

569
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: like that, the perfect six offsetting technicals you got, you

570
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: think like that in that's an area. They're like, all right,

571
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: we got to get an even number on both sides

572
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: here because both sides are a fault and we don't

573
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: want one team getting the advantage. Other word otherwise. So

574
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: three on each, three on each. Nobody was punching, even

575
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: though it looked like Harden maybe pretty damn close. Maybe

576
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: he did like the claw.

577
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: It looked like you pouring a little tabasco, like just

578
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: just kind of open a little bit. But that was

579
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: that was a punch. I didn't see it live, and

580
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: I thought, all this guy must be getting ejected because

581
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: I saw that play. That was a punch of some sort,

582
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: but it was sort of open.

583
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: Have you seen the I assume a lot of Clippers

584
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 3: fans pulling the footage that you can see Michael Porter

585
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: Junior leaving the bench, I mean comes on the floor.

586
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: It never makes it over to the scuffle. But oh boy,

587
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: oh boy, got his suspend. I don't think.

588
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Glad they didn't suspend. I don't think the guy can

589
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: step onto.

590
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: Allowed to step five field he did better. One arm

591
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: bike he did he did better.

592
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: Prison Mike. All right, let's keep it going to uh

593
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: Steph Curry. Incredible game. He heat it up. No Jimmy

594
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: Butler in Game three, but Curry had thirty six points.

595
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: Warriors beat the Rockets one oh four ninety three on Saturday.

596
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: They have the two one lead. This guy put on

597
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: the cape TK thirty six points, like I said, nine six,

598
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: seven boards, a couple of block shots even yeah, and

599
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I look, it was like they needed all

600
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 3: of it to get past this obviously defensive minded Rockets team.

601
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not fun to be wrong. A lot of times.

602
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: I was wrong a lot of times this weekend, including say,

603
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Warriors are going to win a

604
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: game if Jimmy Butler doesn't play. He didn't play. But

605
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: they got Steph Curry. And this guy is awesome. He's

606
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: averaging twenty nine points a game, six rebounds, seven assists,

607
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: shooting fifty to three from the field, forty five from

608
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: three to ninety three at the line. And this is

609
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: allegedly the team that has the best defense to stop

610
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. People were telling you all about him. Then

611
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: Thompson's stats going up against Curry before the game, but

612
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: it's different in the playoffs. I thought it was pretty interesting.

613
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Kaminga gets the start in this one with no

614
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Butler and Quentin Post. I thought that was a great

615
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: call by Steve Kerr because it led to so many

616
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: pick and rolls for Steph Curry, making Scheng guon defend

617
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: in space that got Curry untracked, that got Quinton Post

618
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: some buckets. And then late in the game, Gary Payton

619
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: the second was the role guy for Curry along playing

620
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: alongside Schenggun and he was just awesome catching and getting

621
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: to the rim. Hit a three from the corner as well,

622
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: had the dagger reverse dunk.

623
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

624
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: Curry put the team on his back and said we're

625
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: not losing this game. And they didn't lose this game

626
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: because they had Curry. That's all it was.

627
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, and him being so patient working through all

628
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: that physical play where they are just grabbing him. They're

629
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: grabbing him in so many ways due pre possession, whether

630
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 2: the bull's ready to be inbound, they got an arm

631
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: around him, They're doing everything. He's trying to get loose.

632
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks is smacking his hands down after his shots.

633
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: Just get the you can't shoot with those things. But

634
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: he was being so paid. You only hit one three

635
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: in the first half, and then he just kept going.

636
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 2: He kept going, the motor kept going. That's what he does.

637
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: He didn't let the defense get into his head. It's

638
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 2: such a mental fight for that guy that he keeps winning.

639
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: He also blocked that Fred van Vliet. We mentioned a

640
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: couple of blocks. I mean he had he had to

641
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: get into him. Fred van Vliet pushed, pushed him off

642
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: a little bit with the shoulder, but he stayed on

643
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: him and blocked a shot in the second quarter that

644
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: was awesome. And as the game went on, he got

645
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: hotter and hotter, so he got a little bit more

646
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 2: free to hit four threes in the second half, that

647
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: one with three minutes left over. Jalen Green, I mean,

648
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Green is like on it. If you go frame

649
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: by frame, if you go on the Hawkeye, you see

650
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: how close Jalen Green is to blowing that ball. It

651
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 2: almost looks like he touches it with his fingertips. But

652
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: Steph cash to make it a six point game, I believe,

653
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 2: or maybe a nine point game. Whatever it was. It

654
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: was just very very important to go along with five

655
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: assists in the fourth quarter, so he did everything well.

656
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: I loved it. Finally the rockets, like anybody with this guy,

657
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: and then yeah, you're right, Gary Payton second, finding the spots.

658
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: He scored eleven points in the fourth quarter GP two,

659
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: and I think he had like nine straight over that

660
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: little two minute stretch, and a lot of them. I

661
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: mean the one three was really impressive, but like they

662
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 3: were wide open because you know, again he's finding the

663
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: open space because all eyes are on Curry and take

664
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: away in and take away him, take away him, but

665
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: just Johnny on the spot. So yeah, he was good.

666
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: I thought, buddy, healed kept the rocket excuse me, the

667
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: Warriors in the game in the first half, like the

668
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: one guy that was sort of like scoring for them,

669
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: and then he hit two big threes in the second

670
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: half as well. He already brought up post GP two

671
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: and then Draymond Green, I mean stuffed the stat sheet

672
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: with it like as he normally does. Eight boards, seven points,

673
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: four assists, three blocks, two steals, So it's all defensive

674
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: minded Draymond stuff there. But great win. This is a

675
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: fun series and they go again to yeah doo, that's

676
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: obviously a huge game. Probably feels like the Rocket season

677
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: is now on the line.

678
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they gotta play better at Jermen Green extremely quiet, Alprin,

679
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Shangun extremely quiet. The should be scoring in the post.

680
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: They should be scoring the paint. I shouldn't say posts,

681
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: they should say paint. I mean they're bigger, they should

682
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: be able to get by Quinton post. They should have

683
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: way better numbers than they're nineteen to forty eight in

684
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: the paint. I ain't good enough. I mean you should

685
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: just be able to score. I guess this team. And

686
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: so there's somebody's pretty good at defending the Postmon's pretty good.

687
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Not a lot of shooting for the Rockets out there,

688
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of guys in there.

689
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the big question in the future, in

690
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 2: the offseason, if it gets to that. I mean kenne

691
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Men Thompson and Alpura and Shangun play together like, I

692
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: mean they both they're both not shooting. Yeah, so that's

693
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: a big question.

694
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: Let's get some more Jabari Smith going around here. He

695
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: can shoot twelve points, five boards, hit three threes like

696
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: he can shoot. I think Eastan has played pretty well

697
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: for the Rockets, but I would like to get more

698
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: shooting on the court if I can, so that sheng

699
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Gun has more of an opportunity inside. Because it's a

700
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: Draymond post up on or shan Gun post up on

701
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: Draymond is not like a winning proposition. I don't think

702
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: for the Rockets at this point.

703
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, did am I crazier? Did Udoka say either is

704
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: uh Easton or Jabari's starting Game four? I thought I

705
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: read that somewhere, but maybe I'm making that up. I'm

706
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: looking for it, but maybe not. I thought he was

707
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: switching it up here tonight.

708
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: But we'll see.

709
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: They can go for a switch, I think.

710
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: And Jimmy Butler, I guess is tbd. I don't think

711
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: he's officially ruled out here, I mean not playing game three,

712
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: But has he had enough time to recover? Is the

713
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 3: glute okay? Or can they give him even more time now?

714
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: Because they got that big win from Curry. I mean

715
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: it's I don't know.

716
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: We'll see right right and just let them tie it up.

717
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: Obviously Curry was awesome, but they're probably they're gonna need Jimmy.

718
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: I think, even even though it sounded dumb when you

719
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: said it, Trey, that they aren't gonna win without Jimmy.

720
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: They obviously, these guys were great. I've never seen Buddy

721
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: Healed get into a game him more than that. I mean,

722
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: he was physical. I don't know if everybody can understand

723
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: what he's saying with that huge mouth guard, but he

724
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 2: was talking a ton, and he was sitting shots. And

725
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: to see him seventeen for him, and then Gary Payton

726
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: flashbacks to the great Golden State Warriors days of a

727
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: few years ago where he was the center roller. So

728
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: those guys were awesome. Seventeen and sixteen from them, and

729
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: then they kind of fell off. Pajemski still hasn't found

730
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: his role and found his flow. I guess you'd call it.

731
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: They put Moody to the bench to change things up,

732
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: don't There's still questions. I don't know if they can

733
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: do it again.

734
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: The final series in the Western Conference that we can

735
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: briefly touch on here is over because the Thunder swept

736
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies out of the first round over the weekend.

737
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: What a weird series when you think about it. Okay,

738
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: see won the first two games by a combined seventy points.

739
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: Then they overcame an insane twenty nine point deficit in

740
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: game three after Ja Morant left with an injury, and

741
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: then John doesn't play in game four on Saturday, and

742
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: SGA in the thunder sealed the deer got a little

743
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 3: too close for their liking, I'm sure at the end,

744
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: but they took care of business. SGA thirty eight points

745
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 3: on thirteen to twenty four, shooting his best game by

746
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: far in the series.

747
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, when it came down to it, as you said,

748
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: it was super close, Shay sealed it with the standard

749
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: Shay slippery step back cash. This was his best game.

750
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: There's no doubt he hasn't been playing incredibly well through

751
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: the first three games. He just says the ball hasn't

752
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: been going in, which sure feels that way. He also

753
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: just took a lot fewer threes in this game. He

754
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: only took one in the first half and we took

755
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: four overall when he was averaging eight through the first

756
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: three games. So he was getting to his spots a

757
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: little bit more cash from everywhere. We started with hitting

758
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: his first seven shots mid range, was there being slithery

759
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: like he can so to see him do that one

760
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: turnover for him eight for OKC.

761
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: That's not a lot and Okase's gonna get some time

762
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: off here because they were waiting on the four to

763
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: five matchup, which we know is at least going six.

764
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: Feels like one that is going to go seven way,

765
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: that series going between the Nuggets and clib Person. So

766
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: they'll have like a whole week here tray to just

767
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: wait and see who they're gonna be playing.

768
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't even have Mba injured. Nope, they got a

769
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: deep team yep. Well, they just gonna be doing playing

770
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: five on five against each other to be a better

771
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: series than this one. But like I said before, this

772
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: would be okay see bench versus okay, see starters, more

773
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: competitive I think than against the Grizzlies, though they did

774
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: make it a game, and this one it was nice

775
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: to see Shaye have a breakout game, I thought, clinching

776
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: things with the jumper because I was like, has this

777
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: been an impressive first round series for the Thunder. I

778
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: think Jadub was awesome. I think that's probably the most

779
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: he was Things coming out of this chat was pretty

780
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: good yep. Their defense was smothering, literally smothering the Grizzlies.

781
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: They won a game by fifty one, but they shot

782
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: like thirty one percent from three for the series, Shay

783
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: had I think one good game. He had some productive games,

784
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: but Game four was certainly his best game. Kind of

785
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: a warm up series for the Thunder. But they didn't

786
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: knock my socks off in the first round. I didn't

787
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: think Caruso I think was awesome. Mm hmm, Like he's

788
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: the guy Jadub and Cruse. I come away from this

789
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: series remembering that's about it. Yeah.

790
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: JDub averaged twenty three point three points and five point

791
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: three assists in the suite, and he put up I

792
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: think those exact numbers in game four. I think he

793
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: went for twenty five and it was rated me twenty

794
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: three and five there in game four. So yeah, he's

795
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 3: looked good. I mean I think some of that may

796
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: speak to the Grizzlies too. Yes, Unfortunately, especially when John

797
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 3: Morant went down now he said we had figured them out.

798
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 3: So Joss said, uh, you know, after obviously talking with

799
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: the media, we had figured them out. Man, we were

800
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: up huge when I was rolling this was gonna be

801
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: a series. He's pretty confident it was going to be

802
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 3: two two headed back to okay see.

803
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, not an overwhelm mache series, but definitely Jalen

804
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: Williams's best series, even though it's a you know, a

805
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: quick sweep. I thought Jack had lots of good moments.

806
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: You know that the three point shooting was awesome. He

807
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: was shooting forty two percent from three hit a lot

808
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 2: of them, and I'm a loser. So I like Isaiah

809
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: Hartenstein's floaters in the passing. It was. It was there

810
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 2: in this series. So they showed what they're gonna need

811
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: in round two against Denver or the Clippers. Yeah, they are,

812
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: They are chilling. It's gonna be a while.

813
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we got uh that's okay, we got four

814
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 3: more series to still tackle here. But let's let's put

815
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: to the side talking about the Grizzlies and sort of

816
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 3: their future, because I think they got some crazy decisions

817
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: here to make with this roster. Yeah, like where like

818
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 3: they maybe like the long runway has run out for Memphis,

819
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 3: right a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, you don't

820
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 3: change anything to scrap a young bunch on the rise.

821
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: But I think that's starting to come to the end

822
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: with the contracts that these guys are getting. So let's

823
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 3: get to the Grizzlies and maybe later this week.

824
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: They also finished the year, their last seventeen games against

825
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: teams five hundred and above one in sixteen.

826
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go to the East and we'll

827
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: start with Sunday's game between the Nix and Pistons. And

828
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: there was a no call on the final play, no

829
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: call on Josh Hart challenging Tim Hardaway. Junior's three point

830
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: in ten right in the corner. David Guthrie right there,

831
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 3: he's like three feet away looking at it, and he

832
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: swallows the whistle and Pistons fans are pissed, and look,

833
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: they're probably right to be, because after the game, even

834
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: Guthrie had to say, damn, my bad, that was probably

835
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 3: a foul on Heart. He bumped him there, and Hardaway

836
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 3: didn't really lean into them like we see some three

837
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: point shooters do, and Heart was in his space there.

838
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 3: But that was the game at the end. I mean

839
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: that he look, he goes to the line. I feel

840
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: pretty confident Hardway Junior's at least good, probably gonna hit two.

841
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 3: He's like an eighty five percent free throw shooter. Got

842
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: three attempts. But damn, what a weird game because this

843
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: was like a rugby match for the majority of it.

844
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: And then the shot making task was unreal from both

845
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: sides down the stretch, and then this like controversial note

846
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 3: call in the corner.

847
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, John Brunson was awesome down the stretch. Best cat

848
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: shot I've seen I think ever, the one the fading

849
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: over the baseline, Oh amazing, and then the mean step

850
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: back three got us to this point where we're talking

851
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: about a fricking referees name that you'd never We've said

852
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: this referee name more than any referee. It feels like

853
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: refbe refbee David go oh God, David Guthrie. I just

854
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: mean specifically in this it just sucks because he was

855
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: right there. That being said, I didn't think it was

856
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: a foul live because, as you said, Tim Hardaway didn't

857
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: really go into it all that much. And even though

858
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: David Guffery is right there, Tim Hardaway is in between

859
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: him and Josh Hart. It's kind of like when a

860
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: defender comes to help out on a driver and he

861
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: jumps and the driver goes right into his chest. So

862
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: it looks like he kind of just jumped straight up.

863
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: Josh Hart looks like he doesn't really propel off of

864
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway doesn't propel either, He just absorbed

865
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: them and they kind of go straight up. So I

866
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: don't know, I'm evaluating and analyzing a frickin foul that. Yeah,

867
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: I was called that it should have been called, but

868
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: also it's at the end of the game, so there

869
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: are some that don't get called. But it is unfortunate.

870
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: And in addition to that, some people saying calling it

871
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: there would have been completely at a character for how

872
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: they called the rest of this gig.

873
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was.

874
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: Not a lot, because they let a lot go on

875
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 3: both sides. Like I said, it was physical as hell.

876
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 3: So then people are like, well, you always say, just

877
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 3: call it consistent, So maybe they did. I mean, even

878
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: their admitting he fouled them, he did foul them.

879
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry.

880
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 3: It's incredible that ball somehow like spit its way over

881
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: to Tim Hardaway Junior. Yeah, I don't know how it

882
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 3: even got there. And the whole part of this is

883
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 3: Kate Cunningham in a great look at his jumper. Oh yeah,

884
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean he like got the space on o g

885
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: It was not really challenged all that much and it

886
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: just didn't drop. And then that ball somehow somehow found

887
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: it's even way to Tim Hardaway Junior. But yeah, heart

888
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 3: Heart got away with one. He fouled them on that

889
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 3: shot of town.

890
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe should have flopped yat Tim Hardaway Junior not

891
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: going down maybe cost them the call, right because like

892
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: i'm's task like in full speed, it definitely looks like

893
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: there's some contact for sure, but maybe you're thinking it's

894
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: marginal because Tim Hardaway Junior kind of takes it. Okay,

895
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: he finishes his shot, he's not kicking. I mean, I

896
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: guess he kicks his leg out a little bit, he stumbles,

897
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: but if you would have fallen over, maybe he gets

898
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: the call. But then once you see it in SloMo,

899
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, sure if they showed us this

900
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: and Hawkeye.

901
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: I mean it was brutal, straight bumping them there.

902
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah damn what else? Okay, I'm just saying just say it.

903
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: Last year the next I think got very similar calls

904
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: in their playoff series. I think they've won three playoff

905
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: games with last two minute reports that should have gone the.

906
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: Other way in the past. Yeah, and it happens to

907
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: every two it does, and jam Bickerstaff has to go

908
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: and complain about it. But at the same time, say,

909
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: I kind of like how they call it the game like,

910
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: we like to play physical, right, and we want some

911
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: things to go uncalled, and there were so many uncalled.

912
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: It's just terrible for Pistons fans. Obviously, that's what they're watching,

913
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: and that was their series and their seasons. It feels

914
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 2: like that it came down to this. They obviously had

915
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 2: that incredible third quarter and taking the lead and playing

916
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: incredibly well. They just couldn't finish the job unfortunately.

917
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 3: And I mean a big part of it was just

918
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: the shots Brunts and Cat were hitting. You guys already

919
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: went through Cat's incredible shots like the tooth reason then

920
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 3: that one over the backboard probably saved them, honestly. But

921
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 3: Brunson fifteen of his thirty two in the fourth clutch

922
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: Player of the Year. This guy coming through again. He's

923
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: just like amazing, and he had the whole injury part

924
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 3: two or he comes back and you're like a guy's

925
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: hobbling around a little bit, still hitting big shots. Those

926
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: guys completely took over and got them there, got them

927
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: back in the game. Yeah, But it was like again

928
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway Junior like was having a bad stretch and

929
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 3: then he had that one bounce around and in and

930
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 3: then that sort of got him going. He had a

931
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: couple of big ones. Kate had a big jumper on

932
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: the baseline. The shot making for a game that was

933
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 3: really physical again through like the first forty four minutes

934
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: the final four minutes. If you didn't see it, go

935
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: watch it. Like the shots these guys are making on

936
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 3: both sides was unreal. Even though it's a low scoring

937
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: game and you're gonna be like what offense? No, trust me.

938
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 3: The last four or five minutes, these guys were hitting

939
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 3: shot after shotter.

940
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 2: Shot, Yeah, and the Knicks were ready to go from

941
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: the get go. Jalen brunts and got everybody involved. He

942
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: was the last guy to hit a shot from the starters.

943
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: Everybody else got involved. And I think, if you want

944
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: to in hindsight, look at the Pistons and look what

945
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: they did in this series. You let Cat start going

946
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 2: at the beginning of Game three, read when he had

947
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: those catch and shoots in three point Land and he

948
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: has not stopped since that, And I think the business

949
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: could also be upset just about the defense. You could

950
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: see jam Bickerstaff yelling at his guys they weren't ready

951
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 2: from the get go. You could hear him coming back

952
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 2: from a commercial. They show JB what he's saying and

953
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: he's yelling run run. I mean this is after a timeout.

954
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: He's yelling at Ron Holland to go guard. It was

955
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 2: Miles McBride at the three point line. Why does he

956
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: not know where to gard him? Miles got an open three.

957
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 2: So they didn't come out of the get go hard enough.

958
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: That's a problem. Obviously, they made back. They made it

959
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: back because they're serious. Their season was on the line.

960
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: But still even that first three, Cat got in the

961
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarner, it felt like Durren just kind of lost

962
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: track of him. He is helping way too far over

963
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: and great read by brunts because I think they're trying

964
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: to get og and the police chucks it to the

965
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: other side. Cat knocks it down. Then his second three

966
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: he went goofy arms on that one. That's the move

967
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: man when he's really feeling it, the arms and it

968
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: just looks so much like goofy.

969
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 2: That's why they made good.

970
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 3: And Larry Bird shot over the back Boar. That was

971
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 3: an insane shot from him and they needed it. They

972
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 3: were like, I believe they're trailing at that point.

973
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 2: Let one point lee, Oh my.

974
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 3: God, again wild shots unfortunate. No call that, you know

975
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: they admitted right away. What a weird thing. If you're

976
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: a ref, you could don't call it. You go back

977
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 3: into the locker room. Fire it up.

978
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: Crap.

979
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 3: Talk to the pool reporters.

980
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: Watch that one.

981
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 3: It's tough for Pistons, fanta, I say, is a two

982
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: to two series going back to massive square Guarden Like

983
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 3: wowd be very spicy then, but man, maybe they got

984
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 3: still some fight left in them.

985
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: Who knows.

986
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 1: I do like Isaiah Thomas, Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups

987
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: all sitting next to each other. That's a great feature

988
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Bringing back the legends the same court side.

989
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: Great stuff. And then Isaiah Thomas was flying or I

990
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: guess he flew from here because he was working. I

991
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 2: saw him on NBA TV same weekend. Then he was working.

992
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: Then he went to Detroit after it. But that town

993
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 2: shot was huge. They were actually down.

994
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: For when Yeah, so he misses that.

995
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: I mean, there, that's gonna be very difficult. And then

996
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: the lead Yeah, that's it.

997
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: Anything else on this one A fun series.

998
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it's is good.

999
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I know the physicality has gone up against

1000
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 3: it's the playoffs, so as it should in all of

1001
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 3: these series, but this one, yeah, more than more than

1002
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 3: the others, even just the way these two teams play.

1003
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 3: They play physical and they they let them play for

1004
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: a majority of this game, and it was fun as hell.

1005
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: We're lucky, we're honestly, maybe we're lucky that Isaiah Stewart

1006
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: is out right now. These might be going over the

1007
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: edge if you were, you know, like scrappy, no doubt.

1008
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: In these games, players are going to each other. It's

1009
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: getting chippy every single time. But it's just basketball. Yeah, waxing, Isaiah.

1010
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: You went.

1011
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 3: You know, it's like heated when Tobias Harris is talking

1012
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: ship to Karl Anthony Towns, you know, they're tired of

1013
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 3: each other and like they're amped up. So that was cool.

1014
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, those two guys, mild mannered guys.

1015
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So maybe we're better off Isaiaster is not there,

1016
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: And maybe Dennis Shrewder is better off that that foul

1017
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: happened at the end, because at the end of the

1018
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: third quarter, he just he just screwed up. They literally

1019
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: could have had two points. He had that steal six

1020
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: seconds left and said he passes it off and the

1021
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 2: bucket happens I don't know what the hawkey says, but

1022
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: it happened right after the buzzer and it was late.

1023
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 3: It was late, right, and he should have just laid

1024
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 3: it in.

1025
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: Oh dude, those two points.

1026
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: It's kind of important. Just score man.

1027
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 3: He was contributing as well.

1028
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: And when you said wealthy, I was thinking that guy

1029
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 2: because that guy was mouthy. Everybody was mouthy and it

1030
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: was great. It's an awesome series.

1031
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 3: Let's go to Tatum and Brown pacing the Celtics past

1032
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: the Magic one O seven ninety eight. They take a

1033
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: three to one series lead. This has been a very

1034
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: physical series as well. I thought it was a little

1035
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 3: more chill in Game four there on Sunday, but Tatum

1036
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 3: was pretty special. TK thirty seven points, fourteen boards, living

1037
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 3: at the free throw line fourteen to fourteen. He show

1038
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 3: like when he's got it going, he shows you like

1039
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: he can just score it every level, right, because he's

1040
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 3: bullying by band Caro on drives, he's showing off the

1041
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: fancy footwork, or he's doing this post work against like

1042
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: a Gary Hairs junior, and then he's like he's got

1043
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 3: If Wendell Carter Junior is matched up on him, he's

1044
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 3: dancing at the three point line in addition to get

1045
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 3: into the free throw line. He just showed again like

1046
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 3: all facets of scoring and he was wicked awesome.

1047
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, wicked high cool. This guy was six points in

1048
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: the paint. He had another four mid range jumpers, went

1049
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: to the line fourteen times, fourteen rebounds as well. Tatum

1050
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: was like a big guy basically playing this game. Yeah,

1051
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: three to ten from three not great, but he's gonna

1052
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 1: take him. You know, my dad was getting a little

1053
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: upset my dad. My dad's a fake Celtics fan right now.

1054
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: Oh well, my stepbrother lives in Boston. He's a real

1055
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: Celtics fan. So they're by fans in law, if you will,

1056
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: second generation fans. I don't know what you would call it,

1057
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: but he's like, oh man Tatum. This guy settles for

1058
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: too many threes, he does, but he also goes to

1059
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: the line and he also gets in the lay and

1060
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: he was just massive. I thought in this game. Derek White,

1061
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: I thought was also phenomenal. The Magic are a great

1062
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: defensive team. It's not uncommon to see them shut down

1063
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: two actions from the Celtics and then the ball finds

1064
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: its way to Derek White and the guy's gonna make

1065
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: the exact right play at the right time, whether it

1066
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: be scoring, shooting a three, or setting somebody else up.

1067
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: I just think he is such an awesome third option

1068
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,479
Speaker 1: to have, especially with Drew Holliday missing some time right now.

1069
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: White was splendid.

1070
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this was Christaps porzing Is his best game.

1071
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: He helped out. He had nineteen points. Definitely his best game.

1072
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 2: He's just been off. He hasn't been able to shoot

1073
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: the three ball. And that put back dunk on his

1074
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: own miss where he had a second jump get up

1075
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,479
Speaker 2: like that. You don't expect that from christaphs Porzingis was big.

1076
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: And to see him come alive, I mean, he really

1077
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: hasn't had a good series. No, when you mentioned Tatum

1078
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: and Brown and they need a little help without Drew Holly,

1079
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 2: but Derek White was awesome and then christophs Porzingis was

1080
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 2: really big. And al is always there. He's always helping out,

1081
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: so they have enough guys, there's no doubt. But it's

1082
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: good secret Stapsporsing has come alive.

1083
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 3: I mean credit to the Magic for like sticking around

1084
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: in this game. They got it to what ninety one

1085
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: ninety one with like four minutes ago. That's when Tatum

1086
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 3: really took over. He's sort of single handedly outscored them

1087
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 3: the rest of the way. And that's like you just

1088
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 3: see it, and hopefully you're gonna like we'll be talking

1089
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 3: about this four or five years from now with Ben

1090
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: Caro as well. It's like Tatum has been in a

1091
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 3: million of these games, Like he's been a two finals,

1092
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: five Eastern Conference finals, Like he's gained over one hundred.

1093
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: Games.

1094
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, like experience, devastating game seven losses, huge wins at

1095
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: the buzzer, Like he's been on the positive and negative

1096
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 3: side for so like just like all these reps. And

1097
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: my point is like Ben Caro has had an amazing series,

1098
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: like a really good series, and like again, flash forward, three, four,

1099
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 3: whatever it is, years from now, hopefully he's got some

1100
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 3: more playoff experience and he'll be the one sort of

1101
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 3: closing a game like this against good teams. That's like

1102
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: all I keep thinking about. It's like, oh, yeah, he's

1103
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 3: he might be you in a couple of years, just

1104
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 3: the experience factor.

1105
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he keeps putting up points. I mean, I keep

1106
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 2: thinking about Franz Wagner as the best magic player in

1107
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 2: this series. Even though numbers wise has definitely been powered

1108
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 2: upon Carrow. But you could see Franz Wagner growing and

1109
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: it feels like he's, you know, growing into himself, even

1110
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 2: though he hasn't been shooting the three ball. Well wait wait,

1111
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 2: driven at so many guys over and over and over,

1112
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: including Kris Stapsporzingis, he has no problem shooting over monsters playmaking.

1113
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 2: He looks like a different player. He looks like a

1114
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 2: modern day player the way he's creating and driving and scoring.

1115
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 3: So if the Magic Positive a guard that can score, like,

1116
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: it's a very good team. They have an identity. Defensively,

1117
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 3: they obviously have some star players and all NBA guy

1118
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: and Polo and then yeah, just get some backcourt scoring,

1119
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 3: some three point shooting. Hell, add Derek White to this

1120
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 3: team and you're like, oh my god, they're like they're

1121
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 3: really good, you know that type of thing.

1122
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: So, honestly, Derek White is the perfect fit for this team.

1123
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: I saw that Corey Joseph he had twelve points and

1124
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: that's the most by a guard this far into the series.

1125
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: For the Orlando Joseph too, we're talking about Paul Anthony

1126
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: had zero points in this one. He's got eight for

1127
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 1: the series.

1128
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and like Suggs would of course help on

1129
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 3: even offensively at this point, would help them. But yeah,

1130
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: that's crazy. Corey Joseph, Corey Joseph, good old Canadian boy.

1131
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, Big Twelvell. That's not even a boy,

1132
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: that's a man. He's old.

1133
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, that's that's nut man.

1134
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: He's fifty three percent from the field, forty one from three.

1135
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 3: He's been great.

1136
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got twenty five points in twelve assesss through

1137
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: four games.

1138
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 2: Nobody else is averaging double digits besides Bene Carroll Wagner.

1139
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: Okay, Horford was great defensively and he did get a

1140
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: chance to almost get in a fight. Right. It was

1141
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 1: Wendal Carter Junior. I think had a big time foul

1142
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: and Al wasn't taking it. He is he's got his

1143
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: uh Antenna's up for anything that Wendell Carter Junior is doing. Yes,

1144
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: possibly uh skirty. I think that's pretty fight. It's like

1145
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: he's focusing specifically on this guy. And then I like

1146
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: Porzingis's stitches. It's like you can actually see all of

1147
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: the stitches. He really looks like a monstar. Oh yeah,

1148
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: it looked like kind of a Frankenstein.

1149
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 3: And I'm glad you brought up like Horford trying to

1150
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: keep one a Carter Junior. Check your guy in the

1151
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 3: Instigator draft. Cacyp got another point for you.

1152
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he got a tech?

1153
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: Did he not?

1154
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 2: But it was a double tech with Chason Tatum. That's okay,

1155
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 2: that's it's okay. But it's also a trace guy.

1156
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: Of good for me.

1157
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,959
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you guys are getting points. I'm getting nothing.

1158
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. I honestly I stopped keeping track this weekend because

1159
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: there was just so many. I didn't I will, I

1160
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: will tabulate from the eleven games.

1161
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 3: But he has gotten you. Has he gotten you three points?

1162
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 2: I think two?

1163
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: Oh?

1164
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 3: I thought it was three.

1165
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: At this point. Tech. Yeah, but there are so many

1166
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: out there. I just didn't keep track because there's like

1167
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 2: a thousand. Everybody's getting into it.

1168
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was some stack going around. It's like they're

1169
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 3: they're well on their way to set the record for

1170
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 3: totality of like texts and stuff like that. It's it's fiery.

1171
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: We love it is.

1172
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Pacers rolling to victory in game four.

1173
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 3: Take the three one lead of the box who lost

1174
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 3: Demian Lillard to injury. This guy just returns from blood

1175
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 3: clots and then he crumpled to the floor last night

1176
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 3: in the first quarter, he grabbed his left leg, that

1177
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 3: was his other left his other leg, excuse me, with

1178
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 3: the with the blood clots, but didn't return and where

1179
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 3: I guess we're just waiting still on confirmation that it's

1180
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: a torn achilles.

1181
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah that's the way. Yeah, it's the way it seems

1182
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: because of Lillard's reaction.

1183
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, non contact, how he reacted. You can even see

1184
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 3: the ripple if you really look closely. I thought it's brutal,

1185
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 3: and I don't think it was gonna matter in this game.

1186
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 3: Pacers played a damn near perfect offensive game, like they

1187
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 3: shot sixty percent of the floor, hit a bunch of threes,

1188
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 3: barely turned the ball over. But this one's a wrap

1189
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 3: here two k.

1190
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we all. I think task booked the

1191
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: bucks I did.

1192
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 2: I did that was a mistake.

1193
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all right. I mean, maybe a different story

1194
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: if Lillard is Lillard himself, But even in the games

1195
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: that he's been playing, he's kind of been more of

1196
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: a decoy than real Damian Lillard. But that's thirty five

1197
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: years Old probably going to miss an entire season. That's

1198
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: a real bummer for the Bucks and for Damon.

1199
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 2: You're right.

1200
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: Offensively, this was an easy game for the Indiana Pacers.

1201
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: They just know how to generate shots against the Bucks.

1202
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: They can get anything they want inside twenty or sorry,

1203
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: thirty six assists on fifty makes a fifty makes is crazy,

1204
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: Like that's a ridiculous number to see. They shot sixty percent,

1205
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: they made eighteen threes. They just know where their shots

1206
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: are going to come from. They pass the ball, they

1207
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: get layups, and the Bucks just don't have the defensive

1208
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: personnel really to match up with the Pacers. They're trying

1209
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: to play a little bit smaller. But I thought the

1210
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: game was particularly over at the beginning of the third quarter.

1211
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: Bucks runn to play for Kyle Kuzma, great backcut, wide

1212
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: open layup, somehow misses it, turns into a monster dunk

1213
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: for Miles Turner on the other end. Next play down,

1214
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: same thing happens. Kuzma might be more for fourteen on

1215
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: layups in the series, it feels like it, and he's

1216
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: like fourteen for fourteen falling down onto the courting, letting

1217
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: a five on four happen.

1218
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 3: The other that too.

1219
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: The idea was getting Kuzma in there means you can

1220
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: play more Yannis at the five, which is something the

1221
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: Bucks need to do. But unfortunately it means you got

1222
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: to play Kyle kus That's the catch.

1223
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 2: Twenty two. Yeah, they were expecting Damian Lillard to have

1224
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 2: a good game because they are so desperate for anybody

1225
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: beside Yannis to do anything in the series. Has been

1226
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 2: the best player, but you could argue that the Pacers

1227
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 2: have the second best player, third best player, fourth best player,

1228
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 2: fifth best player, even the sixth best player. Yeah, Siakam Halliburton,

1229
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 2: Miles Turner, who was monster in this game.

1230
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 3: He was great on both and bounce back from a

1231
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 3: brutal game three.

1232
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he had great one and two. He has

1233
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 2: been great. Andrew Nepart, you can argue, yes, oh yes,

1234
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 2: so the fifth best player in the series. I'd say

1235
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 2: Ernie Smith the sixth best player. You'd win it there,

1236
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 2: and then then you're getting into the math and slash

1237
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 2: Oby Toppings.

1238
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, he was great yesterday.

1239
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: Three threes go all the way down the list. It's

1240
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: probably all Pacers.

1241
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 3: Gary Trent Junior saved the Bucks from a sweet pair.

1242
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Game three.

1243
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 3: In Game three when he hit nine threes, turned into

1244
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: Ray Allen for a night. Yeah, they're just out class.

1245
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: And good point on Myles Turner. I thought he was

1246
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 3: awesome because he was brutal in Game three, went one

1247
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 3: and nine, But he had like nine points in the

1248
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 3: first four minutes of this game and twenty three overall.

1249
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 3: You just like and he's a big dude. So he

1250
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 3: sets screens and he draws fouls and blocking shot. Of

1251
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 3: course he's an important player. He's sort of like he's

1252
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 3: like a poor man's porzingis really when I look at

1253
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 3: him for the Pacers and any hopes to get by

1254
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 3: the Cavs when they match up in the second round,

1255
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: which which could be a fun series. Anything else from

1256
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 3: this one, it's depressing as the Lillard injury is. I mean,

1257
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 3: this is a team. This is a team maybe like Memphis,

1258
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 3: that we can talk about where they go from here.

1259
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: They're going to be a star of the off season.

1260
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: It does feel like, yeah, yeah, but star of this game.

1261
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: I thought Tony Brothers this guy. Anytime something was happening

1262
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: where it looked like the Pacers and the Bucks might

1263
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: actually start fighting each other, figured out a way to

1264
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: go to review. At one point, he called a double

1265
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: delay of game so that he could go delay the

1266
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: game by looking at the review.

1267
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 3: I think they need a rest.

1268
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: You think that's what it is. Yeah, they're playing the

1269
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: full forty eight every night.

1270
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 3: I think so. I think so. And this is the

1271
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 3: way for them to take a little take a little break.

1272
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: That's one of us.

1273
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 3: Be like, I almost like wonder, like does he go

1274
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 3: outside and take a smoke break? Like we'll have to

1275
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 3: keep our eye on him. You know, he's at the

1276
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 3: million in probably, But now I some of them do this,

1277
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 3: I'm convinced. It's like, ah, it's like I'm tired, I'm winded.

1278
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 3: Let's just call something.

1279
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: Let's go look at something, let's go check this out

1280
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: of Yeah, and Reggie splitting up the benches like this,

1281
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: you do, Reggie, you like reviews?

1282
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 3: The delay of games?

1283
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,479
Speaker 1: Delay the game? Didn't make sense?

1284
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're seeing a lot of First man Al Horford

1285
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: was called for a delay of game for getting in

1286
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 2: the way of an inbound like he stepped he was

1287
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 2: guarding an inbounder, but he stepped out of bounds. Like

1288
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 2: he's way too close.

1289
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's too close.

1290
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 2: You just never see that cult. I mean that was

1291
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 2: like e gogregious stepping out of bounds.

1292
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 3: I you just reminded me, you know, a sneaky one.

1293
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 3: I think they do it on purpose, but I don't

1294
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 3: know this for sure. When the Knicks come to mind,

1295
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 3: because I saw them do it yesterday, when you do

1296
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 3: the whole thing, like Brunson's gonna go inbound the ball right,

1297
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 3: so everybody lines up. But then like Brunson, like he

1298
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 3: looks at it, he looks at it, and I think

1299
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 3: he's sort of assessing what how the defense is playing

1300
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 3: and maybe what they're gonna do. And he's like, oh,

1301
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 3: hold on, hold on, I'm not inbounding Mikail who's on

1302
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 3: the other side of the floor, and you come inbound.

1303
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 3: That takes like five or six seconds and like and honestly,

1304
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 3: it worked, brunts and got open. That was the one

1305
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 3: he missed right at the rim. Oh yeah, right at

1306
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 3: the end of the game. But that's like, that should

1307
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 3: be a delay again. That should be a delay again,

1308
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 3: because I know what you're doing and that's smart. That

1309
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 3: is that is smart, don't You will come inbound it

1310
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 3: and then it's like you just kill another five or

1311
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 3: six seconds and.

1312
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot, there's lots available. Even the guy who

1313
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 2: goes to inbound the ball takes forever to get there.

1314
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just got forever.

1315
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 3: Mosey on over, don't touch it.

1316
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 2: They should the fans should be kind of counting that

1317
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 2: ten seconds. I mean, that's ten seconds instead of start

1318
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 2: worrying about that.

1319
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 1: I would love to hear fans counting seconds during a review.

1320
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 3: Counting sheep man, you fall asleep doing that, all right?

1321
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 3: Final series that we got to address here just quickly.

1322
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 3: Cavs go up three to zero on Saturday. They handed

1323
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 3: the Heat their worst ever playoff loss, which was a

1324
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 3: little wild. Miami started okay, but then it was all

1325
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,919
Speaker 3: Cleveland after a thirty three to five run, I think

1326
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 3: is what really took control for the Cavs. It was

1327
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 3: sixty two to forty two and a half, and then

1328
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 3: Cleveland missed a bunch of shots and start the second half,

1329
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 3: so that you know, that was the opportunity for Miami

1330
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 3: to get back in this game, and they scored four

1331
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 3: points over that stretch, so I sort of squandered their

1332
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: chance to maybe make this competitive at home. I don't

1333
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 3: know what else you want to talk about from this game.

1334
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 3: Because it was this was the most boring game of course,

1335
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 3: from the weekend.

1336
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 2: It was. Yeah, I thought it was the Max Struce game.

1337
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 2: I thought he was fun to watch. He got into

1338
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 2: his former teammate Tyler Heroes chest to guard him at

1339
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 2: the beginning of the game. He's doing a good job,

1340
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: Tyler hero super duper quiet night. Thirteen points on thirteen shots.

1341
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 2: While Struce was getting into it. He's banging home threes.

1342
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 2: They have all too many guys. I mean he hit

1343
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 2: four threes, eighteen points. DeAndre Hunder comes off the bench

1344
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 2: and drops in twenty one. They just had way too

1345
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 2: many threes coming from multiple guys. Defensive Player of the

1346
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 2: Year Evan Mobley, there's just so many guys. Comment while

1347
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 2: that heat do not have enough?

1348
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Spolster said after the game. Our guys really want this,

1349
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 3: and it probably looks like our guys don't. But I

1350
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 3: know what our last six weeks have been like, just

1351
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 3: to fight and scratch and claw to get into this.

1352
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 3: And that's why this is such a disappointing game. That

1353
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 3: sounds like a coach even waving the white flag on

1354
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 3: this series and season and saying, man, we've been through

1355
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 3: one hell of the season here with the whole Jimmy

1356
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: Butler saga and then just trying to sort of get

1357
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 3: into the postseason and we got there and we're just

1358
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 3: outclassed here.

1359
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: Any thoughts too, Yeah, My takeaway is that the NBA

1360
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: has a video on their YouTube page called Best Buckets

1361
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Cavaliers and it's a five minute super

1362
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: cut of them scoring just from Game three. Yeah, thirty

1363
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: two assists on forty six makes.

1364
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 2: And I'm with you.

1365
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: The coolest shot that was made was by Max Strus

1366
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: when he has that stare down three on Andrew Wiggins

1367
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: then slaps him on the butt aftercas Oh, yeah, that

1368
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: was pretty sweet.

1369
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 3: That's been the only juice from this series is the

1370
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 3: picking on Tyler hero narrative and then them saying, oh,

1371
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 3: we're picking on you Garlet, Like that's really like what

1372
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 3: else from this Yeah?

1373
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: That was pretty fun wild. Yeah they did that. And

1374
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: then Cleveland didn't play Darius Garland. Yeah, you're not picking

1375
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: on him. I love that. We don't even need him.

1376
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 3: Jared Allen good game twenty two points eight and nine

1377
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 3: shooting ten boards and ty Jerome did you mention him?

1378
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 3: Thirteen and eleven in twenty two minutes. Guy was like

1379
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 3: a plus thirty three out there in limited time, so

1380
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 3: he was great. They showed Shakira sitting courtside. That got

1381
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 3: a big pop from Miami crowd. Yeah, nice Shakira, Shakira.

1382
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: So that's all I got was opera woman there, opera

1383
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: jersey dress woman. She's nice.

1384
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 3: Goodness there, she just die hard. Yeah, anything else probably not.

1385
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 3: And that one is tonight as well, that game four.

1386
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: So I assume everybody thinks that one's a done deal.

1387
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 3: I think the Cavs wrap it up, sweep it yeah, yeah,

1388
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 3: yeh yeh. Let's show you the playoff bracket after going

1389
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 3: through all of that and where we stand. Obviously the

1390
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 3: thunder of taking care of business. They swept that one.

1391
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 3: They move on. Really have one two to two series

1392
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 3: right now, which is sort of just perplexing, as great

1393
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 3: as a lot of these games have been and great

1394
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 3: as these series have been. But Wolves up three to one, now,

1395
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 3: Warriors Rockets, that's two to one, so that can be

1396
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 3: two two. After night, we'll see Calves up three. Oh,

1397
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: like we said, Pacers lead three to one, Nicks up

1398
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 3: three to one, got a little help from ref Bay

1399
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 3: and the Celtics lead three to one, and that one

1400
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 3: feels definitely like a like a five game series win

1401
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 3: for the Boston Celtics if I'm projecting ahead.

1402
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Some of these second round matchups are looking nice.

1403
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I mean it's amazing that stuff. We've

1404
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: had some of these first round matchups like obviously Nuggets, Clippers, Wolves,

1405
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 3: Lakers even and who knows even if the Rockets like

1406
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 3: tie this up too too. It's a very fun competitive series.

1407
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, second round baby.

1408
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, I saw mL here in the stream

1409
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: team said about Calves versus Heat. I forgot this series existed. Yeah,

1410
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: not next round Calves Pacers's exciting.

1411
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 3: That's interesting.

1412
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,080
