1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: A man can't spend seventy five or one hundred dollars

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: on a first.

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: What wait, wait a second. If I'm doing this math right.

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: She wants me to spend one hundred dollars in the

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 3: first date.

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: Do you know how much that is?

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: That's four large Mountain Do Baja blasts, twelve crunchy tacos,

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: two nacho cheese Dorito's Logos tacos, four Mexican pizzas, two

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: cinnamon twists, two grilled cheese burritos, three cheese chicken flat

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: bread melts, two Dorito's Cheesy Gordida crunch, nacho cheeses, one stacker.

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: And a black bean crunch wrap supreme. How much taco

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: bell do you plan on eating on this first date?

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: Also, I probably should adjust this and add another stacker

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: and another black bean crunch wrap supreme. I don't want

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: to go looking cheap.

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, Sweirl and welcome to the No Dungs Podcast

Speaker 1: stream team. Hello to all the podcast listeners. Thanks for

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: joining us for the final day of April. We got

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: a lot of games to break down, got some news

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: a little bit later, and tweet in the night. And

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: let's start with Kitchener's finest Jamal Murray winning it for

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the Nuggets in the final seconds to end the Lakers season. Yes,

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: it's a gentleman's sweep in the end as the Nuggets

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: take care business in five and my god, Jamal Murray,

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 1: for the second time this series hits the game winner.

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: It was a gentleman's sweep. Some say it was the

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: closest gentleman's sweep ever in the history of the game.

36
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: This was just super fun all the way to the ending,

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: and not just the game winning shot. Four minutes left,

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray dunked on Lebron Ja Oh yeah, and he

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: did the Lebron flex, the shoulder flex. He knew who

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: he dunked on. And that was the night after Kevin

41
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Durant sort of got dunked on by Anthony Edwards as

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: as you said, this is Steph, Lebron and Katie ending

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: pretty early getting old sucks and we'll talk about Lebron

44
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: and if he's going to stay in LA. But after that,

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: you had a Reeve shot, then a Murray shot, then

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: a Reeves shot, who had a pretty good fourth quarter,

47
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: and then the Davish block of Yokic which was called

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: a foul, but it was overturned, which was the right overturn,

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: I thought. And then Reeves hit a three, then the

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Yokic offensive board and score, then Lebron drive and score,

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: then Murray a three, then Lebron two free throws before

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: Murray hits that game winning shot, which was incredible that

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: he was injured coming into this game.

54
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: Question, that's right.

55
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: Michael Malone didn't know if he was gonna play, and

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: he kind of hinted at if you want to sit,

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: and you can sit, because we'll get this thing done.

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: But this was big to get other guys' rest, like

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: KCP who's injured, Reggie Jackson who also is injured at

60
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: helps and then that game winning shot. This is Jamal

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: Murray his best game. Oh yeah, the last game of

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: the series, Classic Jamal.

63
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Here is for everybody on YouTube, showing you Jamal getting

64
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: to his spot. Really, you gotta help it the nail,

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: my man. Even Torrian Prince was trying to push him over.

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: It's like he's going that way, go up and step up.

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: But Jamal hits it and then yeah, they had to

68
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: heave it because they didn't have any time. I was

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: left Trey Kirby to advance the ball.

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: Didn't know would they have not overturned that call?

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: Right right?

72
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: I mean Jokic goes to the line to shoot two

73
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: free throws. That's the problem there. But if I'm not mistaken,

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: the Lakers they got the possession back, didn't score. It

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: would have been nice to have a timeout. Yeah, certainly

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 4: play three point six seconds. You can get a pretty

77
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: good look. But also you probably would have been down

78
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: by four at that point because Jokic would have likely

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: made at least one of the free throws probably too.

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: But he didn't have a great game. He threw several

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: like full court outlet passes to nobody. That was weird

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: to see a ton of turnovers. But man, Jamal Murray

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: strapped on the brown shoes and said, I am ready

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: to go.

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: You don't want me to play, I want me to play.

86
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: And he came out and he tested it right away

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: right more for nine from the field in the first quarter,

88
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: had some like step back shots that he likes to

89
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: get in that hat some where he was going to

90
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: the hoop as well. That really felt at the beginning like, oh,

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: he's not moving that well, but then he hit that

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: little baseline jumper off the bad leg at the end

93
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: of the second quarter, You're like, okay, it's on and

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: pop in here.

95
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: Nuggets.

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 4: I don't feel like they played great at all in

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: this series, and they still took down the Lakers in

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: five games. The health is definitely becoming an issue with

99
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: Murray's caff and CACP picking up an injury here and

100
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: he was limping around, but really gave the Nuggets a boost.

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: I fought in the second half and then Michael Porter

102
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: junior man, what a great third quarter for him. Four

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: for five from the field, twelve points. His only mistake

104
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: I think was when he threw an alley to Aaron

105
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: Gordony threw it eighty feet high something like that. Yeah,

106
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: not his strength. The loob but still fun to see.

107
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: To beat the Nuggets, you gotta play basically perfectly in

108
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, and the Lakers didn't do it. Giving

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: up those two offensive rebounds late. Those were backbreakers to me.

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 4: Yokic had to put back with a minute forty six left,

111
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: and then the Aaron Gordon offensive rebound minute thirteen, he

112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: resets finds Jamal Murray. I thought Murray was gonna miss

113
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: the three because he hesitated, he sets his feet. Of

114
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: course he knocked it down because he's good.

115
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: That was I thought that was a monster offensive rebound. Yeah,

116
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: you said it like seventy five seconds left. You know,

117
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: they get the stop. There's the stop. Just get the ball.

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: That was Lebron under there, and Aaron Gordon he like

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: reached back with his right hand, tipped it to his left,

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: obviously caught it, and then Yea kicked it out to

121
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray, who thought about it for a second. He's like,

122
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let it go. Hit that. That put them

123
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: up to Lebron. Then got to the line. You're right, tass,

124
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it was buckets being traded back and forth here.

125
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: But I thought that was a huge play from ag

126
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: and that's the thing throughout the series. It's like Jamal

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: had his moments like Yo Kich is the steady hand.

128
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Like you said, Yokich had a bad game. What's the

129
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: what's the line the guy had in this one.

130
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: Game but not a double.

131
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I agree with you, had a bad game, lot turnovers,

132
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't his best, but you know he's the steady hand.

133
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: But then you have Jamal Murray with his moments, Michael

134
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: Porter Junior with his moments, Aaron Gordon's had his moments

135
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: in this series, like KCP. It's just like this is

136
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: what makes them the defending champ, so difficult to beat

137
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: them four times out of seven, like good luck to

138
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: now the Wolves get a chance out. I can't wait

139
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: for that series. But h man, Jamal just get like

140
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 1: guys ice cold man. It is wild. All you're seeing

141
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: is like this guy's never been All Stars, never even

142
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: sniffed an All NBA team, and he just has all

143
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: these playoff moments under his belt, still being fairly young,

144
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: and of course the championship too, and more to come. Maybe.

145
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty two points in this one clearly his best

146
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: game of the series so far. He's been off shooting

147
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: the ball, but then at the end of games. Obviously

148
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: Game two, game winner, and then this one another game winner.

149
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: So it doesn't matter if he has three bad quarters.

150
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: Give him the ball at the end of the game

151
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: along with Jokic who he plays off of, and they're

152
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: gonna hit game winning shots. And I couldn't believe when

153
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: I read that in the entire league. This guy, this guy,

154
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray, the fourth player since ninety seven when they

155
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: started tracking this play by plays with multiple go ahead

156
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: shots in the final five seconds of a game in

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: the same postseason. Only guy to do it twice in

158
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: the same series Lebron, Hito Turgulu and Robert or the

159
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: other one.

160
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: Right, those guys doing it in the same postseason. Yeah,

161
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Jamalry doing it in the same series. Maybe we'll add

162
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: another or two in the next game in the next series,

163
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: excuse me.

164
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: Against the Wolves, I can't believe Hito came up, but

165
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: I guess he had a good playoff when they went

166
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: to the finals.

167
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, Rob Rory, that makes sense. Lebron

168
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: always include him and these type of things. Ball Hito

169
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Turkalou is the wild card there and Jamal Murray, now

170
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: that is that is nuts when you look at these

171
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: all these games these two teams played, though it usually

172
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: did come down sort of to the clutch. Even if

173
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: you go back to the twenty twenty three Western Conference Finals,

174
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: they played eleven clutch minutes in that series, Denver won

175
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: it by fifteen points. In the regular season, they played

176
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: seven clutch minutes in all their games. Denver won those

177
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: minutes by seventeen points in seven minutes. And then in

178
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: this series there were nine clutch minutes in the series,

179
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them coming last night. Now Denver only

180
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: won those by three points, so the Lakers did a

181
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: better job. But they won all three games where it

182
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: obviously was in the clutch there because just were coming

183
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: through with big, big shots, and usually it's the two

184
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: man game. Like you said, Jokich and Murray. I can't

185
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: wait to see the matchups here in Wolves versus Nuggets here.

186
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I know we can save that for later in the week,

187
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I'm getting pumped about, like who's

188
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: on who here? And he can stop who, and like

189
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: there's a really good team.

190
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: So Saturday, it's Saturday, four days rest for the Nuggets,

191
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: which is nice for Jamal. You can take that bandage

192
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: he had off that he had off in pre game.

193
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: But they don't get here without Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon

194
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: was great, but Michael Porter Junior was even better. I mean,

195
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior was awesome in this series. In this game,

196
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: he played forty six minutes and was a plus twelve

197
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: in a two point win. That's huge.

198
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember when we were like this is years

199
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: ago now, but like, oh, can't play.

200
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: This guy now, he's gotten alone.

201
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't trust him, like he's just like he gives up

202
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: everything on the defense man. That's like not even a

203
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: conversation anymore.

204
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: No, No, he's steady. Now, this is the best series

205
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: of his career. There's no doubt. I don't think they

206
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: win this in five games without him. I don't know

207
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: if they win it without him. I mean, he was

208
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: one of the guys that shot well from three. There

209
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: aren't many of them. Jokich was that guy, and along

210
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: with Michael Port Junior, who shoots a heck of a

211
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: lot more of them, twenty made threes in these five games,

212
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: forty nine percent from three. He was awesome. Yeah, you

213
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: could just rely on him, which he yeh didn't think

214
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: you could. Yeah, he's just gotten better. We're not talking

215
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: about John D. Porter here, We're talking about Michael Porter junior.

216
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: He's just the best version of himself.

217
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: He hits the overs too soon. Lebron's arming off the floor,

218
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: not storming off, but obviously making his way off the court.

219
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: No time for DAPs and handshakes or anything. You wants

220
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: to get back to his family he was talking about

221
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: in the postgame press camp conference. So now we look

222
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: at the Lakers here and look at their season and

223
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: them coming up short in the first round and once

224
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: again losing to the Nuggets, and where they go from

225
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: here and whether it even involves Lebron James. Do you

226
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: think he's played his last game in the in the

227
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: purple and goal?

228
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: I think carry Champion's friend thinks. So that's what I

229
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 4: saw that on Twitter yesterday. I don't know.

230
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: Lebron didn't threaten to retire this time.

231
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: That's true.

232
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: It is good. I guess, I don't know. I guess

233
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: he's looking for a gigantic contract three years, one hundred

234
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: and sixty million or thereabouts. The guy will be forty

235
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: in December. Had an incredibly healthy season, got an out there,

236
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: incredibly healthy season from Anthony Davis, and they finished in

237
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 4: the play in tournament again. They just keep finishing in

238
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: the play in tournament. But the Lakers, I can't see

239
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: just being like, all right, see you later, Lebron. If

240
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: he wants to come back, he'll be back at Darvinham. No,

241
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: you know he won't. I wonder if we fall out,

242
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: if we find out today, but he will be gone.

243
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, two seasons there with the Lakers. There's

244
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: there's the report up on the athletic I mean, you know,

245
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: as soon as they lose, it goes up there already.

246
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: They're pressing it about you know, it's like explaining the

247
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: fallout really or maybe the mistakes handmade or the you know,

248
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: the hand he was dealt at times too. Do you

249
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: believe darvn Ham probably coached his last game for really?

250
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: I don't know for sure. I think they have a

251
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: lot of things that have to do with the roster.

252
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing that they're thinking about first

253
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: and foremost, and they can trade a bunch of things

254
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: come draft day, right before Lebron decides I've got a

255
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: player option, like days before he has to make the

256
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: decision if I'm going to take that fifty million dollars

257
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: player option for next season, or if he gets signed

258
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: to a three year extension, which would make him really

259
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: old when it comes to basketball world, but he would

260
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: be playing into his twenty fourth season if he signs

261
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: that three year extension, which would be an NBA record

262
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: that Vince Carter currently holds at twenty two. So it

263
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: looks like Lebron's gonna pass that, I guess. But they

264
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: have to get They just have to get better. And

265
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: the Tray Young rumors, I think those are hot, and

266
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: I think there's some juice behind those because of what's

267
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: going on with the Dave Lineahawks. They're already over the

268
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: luxury tax already now for next season, so they may

269
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: want to make a deal. Like yes, we talk about

270
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: the Lakers being this playing tournament team, the Hawk's are worse,

271
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: so they may want to make a move. So I

272
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: think that that's probably first and foremost. I know the

273
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: Darvin talk is hot, but also the injuries you have

274
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: played in an effect but anyway.

275
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: But they did and they didn't right. The injuries to

276
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: their role players did, yeah, but not to their main guys.

277
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Lebron had a healthy season. Ada the healthiest

278
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: season we've ever seen. Reeves played a lot. You know,

279
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: they're big main guys. I mean, I just think that

280
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: that to me gets into a bit of a weak

281
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: excuse where it's like, I know, you talked about ka

282
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: Vincent a lot, fair enough. They brought him in for

283
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: a reason. They thought they're gonna some steady point guard play.

284
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: But like their main guys were healthy, yes, and they

285
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: still finished in the play in it's a talented loaded West.

286
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the one part of the issue. And

287
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: then they put all their eggs in the in season

288
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: tournament basket. They are champions, that's right, and then they

289
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: fell apart after that.

290
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: Remember, look, should they have been better? Is what you're saying.

291
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: That's what Darvin should have done.

292
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: That's what all the Lakers seem to think.

293
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there was a lot of tory in prints starting.

294
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a mistake.

295
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: There was a lot of head scratching on some of

296
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: the rotations. In the report from the Athletic encourage you

297
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: to go check it out. Quote. Throughout the series and

298
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: most of the season, team officials and players believe Hams

299
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: fluctuating rotations, game plans, and lack of adjustments led to

300
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: an underperforming group. It created discontent within the locker room,

301
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: which became palpable across the franchise. That's a small part

302
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: of a very long article of like Ham's maybe shortcomings

303
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: and TK you'd sound like or you said you don't

304
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: think he'll be there, he'll be the fall guy here.

305
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean how long did it take

306
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: for that article? They'll come out talking about decisions she

307
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 4: made when the Lakers had to like bring themselves back

308
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: against the Clippers, and they're like, we were making the calls.

309
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: The Lakers players were not. Darvin Ham didn't make sense

310
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: to go to the Western Conference Finals last year, come

311
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 4: back this season and go with a different starting lineup.

312
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: Didn't make sense at all to.

313
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: Do that, Douse.

314
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: They talked about continuity the whole.

315
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: Time, exactly, and here's the thing, task is right, they

316
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: do need to make some roster changes because Skeets, I'm

317
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: with you, the injuries to Gabe Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, like

318
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: they're not helping. Those guys being out, you don't get

319
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: to build the continuity that you want. But also, those

320
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: guys aren't changing the world for you. They were available

321
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: for reasons you know, Jared Vanderbilt didn't even play in

322
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: the playoffs. I think he was supposed to be available

323
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: for last night's game, right, they said. Nonetheless, after a

324
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: bunch of these games, you heard different players talking, Ruey

325
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: Hotchamura among them, saying, we don't have the experience. We

326
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: haven't played enough games together. The Nuggets have played a

327
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: thousand games together. We've played one hundred, and now they're

328
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: going to completely flip the rest of the roster outside

329
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 4: of Lebron and Ad. So guess what you're doing again

330
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: next year?

331
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Right, and then it'll be up to possibly a new

332
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: coach too. See if he can make Jack wow, JJ.

333
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: You think he'll get an interview? He probably will if

334
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: he wants. We'll see. So you don't think it'll be

335
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: long here, No, no tell darvingham is why.

336
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: Would you keep him?

337
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: Can't?

338
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah? Canam exactly? The Lakers said they kept their seats

339
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: about the Nuggets this season, and then they want one

340
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: one and eight against them.

341
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you think he's chance he's there.

342
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean it's slim, but yeah, I do think there's

343
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: a chance. Yeah. You know the articles that show what

344
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: happened throughout the season that come out right after. Aren't

345
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: necessarily what's going to happen. But they obviously had a

346
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: bad season, uh, and they did have issues. Tory and

347
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: Prince was much better off the bench and the whole

348
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: ruey Atchamoor was a starter in the playoffs last year,

349
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: but he came into this year coming off the bench.

350
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: Then he did get injured and they didn't figure it

351
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: out that he should have been. Yeah, he should have

352
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: been their number three. Got to go with threes and

353
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: they need another guard which would help. And Gay was

354
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: hurt Andy and Vanderbilt was hurt. But yeah, there's I mean,

355
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: there's some discomfort. The same article came out frankly about

356
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: Frank Vogel right away. Yeah, yeah, spots.

357
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: The only difference Ham's been there two years. Yeah, right,

358
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: Vocal one obviously had him. They got to the confon

359
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: finals last year. There's that too, And that was the

360
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: thing they're building off, that building off that they make

361
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: all these signings. You know, they believed. I mean in

362
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: that article, it's like now they maybe were naive, but

363
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: they're like they believe they had a better team than

364
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: a first round exit team, right, no matter who they

365
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: were playing. But we'll see, Yeah, maybe it won't be long.

366
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it happens during the show or later this week,

367
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: and maybe Tess is right.

368
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

369
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: It feels unlikely to me, especially if Lebron is sticking

370
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: around that Ham will still be there and giving it

371
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: another opportunity. Now those are like, I'm not saying he's

372
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: solely to blame. I think a lot of the roster

373
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: construction is perplexing. But those are two different questions. Is

374
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: he solely blame or is he also going to be gone?

375
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be gone. That's what they're gonna have

376
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: to do. That's what they're gonna do. Let's move on

377
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: th unless there's anything else from that game? Can I

378
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: ask you, did you wear a brown shirt because of

379
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray's brown shoes mentioned?

380
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, a new balance. I balance every day with

381
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: the person's shoes that hit the game winning shot for sure. Yeah,

382
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: those are nice. I'm okay with them. I know I'm not.

383
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: I would be ashamed of myself if I'm Lebron James.

384
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: I get dunked on by Jamal Murray and I look down.

385
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: He's wearing trail running shoes.

386
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: They look like trail running shoes. I will say this

387
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: about a new balance. I was never a new balance

388
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: basketball shoe fan. No, no, but they've come a long way.

389
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: And he picks brown, I guess because it matches their

390
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: uniform color, sort of like their color scheme they got.

391
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: They're mountains.

392
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: They don't really brown, and the schemes mountains are brown.

393
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: If it's what you're saying.

394
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: They've got some brown. They have brown and blue and gold,

395
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: and nobody else wears brown shoes.

396
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: That's true.

397
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: She's the only one.

398
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of color waves for those

399
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: crazy James Harden shoes. Let's see those in brown when

400
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: you're sitting all those floaters. Synergy, senergy. Let's move on

401
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: to another team that will move on to the second round.

402
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: The thunder Roll. There it is, let's get it out

403
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: of the way. Jalen Williams SGA doing his part leading

404
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: OKAC to the ninety seven to eighty nine game four

405
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: victory sweeping the Pelicans. Honestly, just bottling up this team.

406
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: Over four games, the Pelicans scored ninety two points, ninety

407
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: two points, eighty five points, and eighty nine points in

408
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty four. That's pretty impressive defense. But

409
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: TK get started his thoughts on this game or okay,

410
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: see moving on and where the Pelicans go from here.

411
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 4: It's nice to have you at Jalen Williams, isn't it.

412
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 4: This guy was incredible in the fourth quarter. Shay rolled

413
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 4: his ankle at the end of the first quarter. He

414
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: takes a three in front of I think it was

415
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: the thunder bench. He kind of takes a step back,

416
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: lands on somebody's foot who's just sitting there, rolls it

417
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: a little gimpy. Playing throughout the rest of the game,

418
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: so he was kind of the decoy at the end,

419
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: and it was just Jadab taking him home, making plays defense,

420
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: hitting big threes. Josh Giddy hit three threes in the

421
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. Oklahoma City went on an eighteen to two run.

422
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: New Orleans made one shot in six minutes, and that

423
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: was kind of the story of the series really for

424
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: New Orleans. Nineteen turnovers on the night, lou Dort was

425
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 4: inside of brandon Ingram and then anytime somebody would have

426
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: a chance at a layup, Chet Holmgren was there to

427
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 4: turn it away. I think he. I think the Pelicans

428
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: shot like nine for thirty five with Chet at the rim.

429
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: It looks bad sometimes when like Valentunis is running him over.

430
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: But you'll live with that, and Mark Degnold has talked

431
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: about that quite a bit. We're gonna live with our

432
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: guys getting pushed around because we'll make it back on

433
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 4: the other side. So, yeah, great stuff from the Thunder.

434
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: Their average age twenty three years in three hundred and

435
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: forty three days. According to ESPN, that is the youngest

436
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 4: team to win a playoff series since the Thunder back

437
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: in twenty eleven when they were making pizza roles even younger.

438
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: Now, this was wild from statudes, though statitudes as well.

439
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: Players age twenty five years or younger accounted for ninety

440
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: nine point five percent of the Thunders points versus the Pelicans,

441
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: the highest such percentage of a playoff series in NBA history.

442
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: Do you know the only person on the roster to

443
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: scored two points in this series that was over the

444
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: age of twenty five?

445
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: Gordon? Didn't know it was Gordon.

446
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: It was not good, Gord. He was scoreless.

447
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 4: I saw the answer.

448
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a John Schumann favorite task when he Kenrich

449
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: he's twenty nine. I didn't think he was that old.

450
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: But it's old on this team. But unbelievable. Yeah, the

451
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: youngest team here to to move on in a series

452
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: and they sweep and it was mainly because of their defense.

453
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: You said that eighteen to two run in the fourth course,

454
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: this game was close. I mean it was pretty ugly,

455
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: but it was close for a majority of the game,

456
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: like no one could get separation until that eighteen to

457
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: two run. And it started was a turnover. That's how

458
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: that run started against the Thunder. And here's what I mean.

459
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: Pelicans were up five with eight and a half to go.

460
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: I think JV had just had a nice score on

461
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: Chet sort of you know, fading baseline. It was a

462
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: nice basket. So the Thunder come down and then Jose

463
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: Alvarado he like pokes the ball away. I think it

464
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: was called a block in the box square. It was

465
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: like more of a steal. But they're going because the

466
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: ball like gets kicked to CJ. McCollum. It's a two

467
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: on one. It's McCollum and Nauseu Marshall and it's only

468
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: Jadub back. But Sga despite just getting his pocket picked,

469
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: despite having maybe a bit of a bomb ankle, he

470
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: hustles his ass back and Jadub just does an amazing job.

471
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't get a block on the play, but he

472
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: just like makes it very difficult. He deters McCollum's lay up,

473
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: and then Sga because he didn't give up on anything,

474
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: he screened back, got the rebound. They go the other

475
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: way and they scored, and then of course they got

476
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: another stop and then they hit a three in transition

477
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: like that just suddenly to tie the game. It would

478
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: have been a seven point lead, which maybe would have

479
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: felt huge in this game for the Pelicans. But because

480
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: those two star guys Jadub and Sga, they not only

481
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: bring it offensively, they actually give a damn about defense.

482
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: They got back, they stopped it, and then that's sort

483
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: of like that was just the there and then they

484
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: man Jada just kept stepping into threes, throwing up the

485
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: three up on the forehead. So that was just impressive

486
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: to me, and I know Doug not talked about it

487
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: after the end. These guys played defense, They give it damn.

488
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. They play like old guys, even though they're super

489
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: duper young. Some of the guys that come off the bench,

490
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 2: like Cason Wallace had a zero in this game, but

491
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: his steels mattered a lot. And they play extremely hard

492
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: and they know the order of things. I don't have

493
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 2: to shoot even though I freaking can, because Caseon Wallace can. Uh.

494
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: They are just set up to win. Even these games

495
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: that they didn't shoot all that well, they did not everybody,

496
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: you know, other than other than Jalen Williams, who was

497
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: awesome in that fourth Uh he had a beautiful drive

498
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: and then two threes and the last three with three

499
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: minutes left, Shake goes Alexander was running behind him and

500
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: smiling from.

501
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: Ear to ear big grin.

502
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: What was he smiling by? Just jailing? Wims sitting and

503
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: shot like all right, where we're doing this? I don't know.

504
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: I wanted I wanted that to be asked post game,

505
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: why were you smiling like that? It was just it

506
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: was just a goofy smut word or it landed for

507
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: to Jalen Williams again, who had a watra fourth quarter

508
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: along with Giddy with who hit three threes and was

509
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: part of the closing lineup. And that's the beauty of

510
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: this team. And when you start looking at who is

511
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 2: this team? Are they just these young guys that get

512
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 2: thrown out the end of games? Now you know who

513
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 2: you're four are going to be. You know that your

514
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: wings are gonna be Jayalen Williams and Loud Dort. You

515
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: know you're small who he isn't small as Shay and

516
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: your biggest chet holgrin. But the fifth guy, it could

517
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: be Giddy when he's awesome like this and when he

518
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: really made a different good series, Yeah he did. It

519
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: could be Aaron Wiggins, Yep, for sure. It could be

520
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: Cason Wallace, It could be Jalen Williams, probably not, the

521
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: other Jaalenves probably not. But there's just options. And this team, Yeah,

522
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: they won an ugly game. That's what good playoff teams do.

523
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: True, Yeah, that's true. I wonder if Brandon Ingram woke

524
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: up this morning and had a big sire relief that

525
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to see loud Dort again, doesn't have

526
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: to go back in the Dorchard chamber for another game

527
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: again coming in not one hundred percent, I'll give him that,

528
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: but holy crap, last night he missed twelve or fourteen shots.

529
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: He only had eight points. In the series. Ingram averaged

530
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: just fourteen point three points per game, shot nineteen to

531
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: fifty five. He'll he made two three pointers over the

532
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: four games. Dort was a menace. He was all over him.

533
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: So he's got to feel at least happy this morning.

534
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: They doesn't have to see Lou Dort again at least

535
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: this postseason.

536
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 4: Pretty bad matchup for Ingram considering he doesn't have the

537
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 4: burst that he could have if he's completely healthy, because

538
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: he obviously doesn't have the strength to get off Dort.

539
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 4: There was that possession late in the game where I

540
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: guess Ingram is trying to post up on the right

541
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 4: block and Dort just stands him up, stands him, up,

542
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 4: stands him up. Ingram is like panicking. He just does

543
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 4: like a backwards shot at the rim.

544
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: It looked, it looked really bad.

545
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 4: He looked completely out of sorts for basically the entirety

546
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 4: of this series. And I wonder if that is the

547
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: last game we've seen him play as a New Orleans

548
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: Pelican because this team has had a really strange run.

549
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 4: They've made the play in tournament the last three years.

550
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 4: Two of them they went out in the first round.

551
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 4: The other year they didn't even make it. How many

552
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 4: times are you gonna keep doing this? You got to

553
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: have a more reliable guy. When Zion is your number

554
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 4: one guy, you gotta have somebody who can play seventy

555
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 4: five games a season and actually carry the team when

556
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: he's out, because Ingram can't do it. CJ. McCollum can't

557
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 4: do it, even though he was fair last night. That's

558
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 4: probably his best game the series. But things need to

559
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 4: change in New Orleans.

560
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, possible. Yeah, it's a shame that the best game

561
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: for teams that don't often advance are the last game

562
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: when things are just kind of coming to an end.

563
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: And CJ McCollum, who they paid a lot for in

564
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: David Griffin, I'm sure is looking up that roster and

565
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: regretting some things or looking at it and saying, I

566
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: I gotta figure things out obviously, as you said. And

567
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: brandon Ingram, Yeah, he was shut down by Ludor Shay

568
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: had a great block on him. Maybe he watched that

569
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: first TNT game where they said that Derek White had

570
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: the most blocks for a guard this season.

571
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: I was shocked by that.

572
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: It's totally true, one point two blocks, but because I

573
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: thought it was Shay at six y six, but he

574
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: had that big one. But yeah, these guys just play

575
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: like their vets. Their postgame interview where they do the

576
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: barking was even like sort of low key. They didn't

577
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: do it. They didn't go after it because they're like, okay,

578
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: you know we've done this before. We're vets a dog barking.

579
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: So they just were chill about it.

580
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: They did at least give the interview to the national

581
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: broadcast last did they all huddled around and gallow. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

582
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: they're feeling good and like maybe they maybe SGA was

583
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: smiling so much because that one really put the game

584
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: away and not put the series away, and that means

585
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: more more rest. Despite being young, you know, you're in

586
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: the playoffs, there's these these tweaks of ankles and knees

587
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: and maybe backs whatever, the more rest you're gonna get

588
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: here between the next series, gearing up to see whether

589
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna play the Clippers or Mavericks. That one feels

590
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: like it's going to go the distance. It just has

591
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: a weird vibe about it, right, it feels like it's

592
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: going seven. That's good for it's good for the thunder. Yeah,

593
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: so they'll be feeling good going into that.

594
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: It wasn't eleven point lead. When Jalen Williams hit that

595
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: three didn't feel like an eleven point I don't know why.

596
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 4: They stretched it out a ton.

597
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: It was closed for a while.

598
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they games are hard, and the Pelicans played really hard.

599
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: Did they just could not make a shot. I think

600
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 4: they were eight for thirty four from three. They shot

601
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: under thirty percent from three for the season or for

602
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 4: the series here, they just didn't have enough scoring.

603
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you like that?

604
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: It's gonna be tougher for the or for the Thunder

605
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 4: and round two playing against the veteran team that. I mean,

606
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: who knows what kind of health we're going to be

607
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 4: talking about. Luca's limping around, Kawhi Leonard is not playing,

608
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 4: but they're at least veteran teams. Yeah, and most likely

609
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: coming in with one of their top guys.

610
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think I mean, look, I'm not

611
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: going on a limb. I don't think the Thunder are

612
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: sweeping the Pelicans here. Zion Williamson is playing. I just

613
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: don't believe that he's that important. He's their point guard

614
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: and we saw what he did for a fairly healthy season.

615
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: It's it's probably I would still pick Okasey to have

616
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: won that series, but I bet it's a lot closer,

617
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: and it's maybe going six or seven In the end though,

618
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Nosion they win four, so after you know that little

619
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: Game one scare where they should have lost really.

620
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: Right, So that's the end of it. It's a shame.

621
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: It's a shame for New Orleans. Did you like their floor?

622
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: I know you don't like brown shoes. Did you like

623
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: the new black new for this series. Yeah, for the

624
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: first time, putting gelkans skelekins. Is that what they're called.

625
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they're going with.

626
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 4: I liked it.

627
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: I love it.

628
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 4: I think it's a cool look. I also liked that

629
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 4: they brought Manny Fresh out in the fourth corner. It

630
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: didn't work that Noday. I think they were like minus thirteen.

631
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: After that they tried the.

632
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 4: Finder saw that like, okay, we will get our roll on.

633
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Thank you thunder Uls. Yeah, I'll see her many Fresh.

634
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: The halftime show is good as well. The instruments, ye group, Yes, yeah,

635
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 2: that's see.

636
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. The final game from last night, you sort of

637
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: slipped it in there. Derek White. Huge game from Derek

638
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: White thirty eight points as the Celtics beat the Heat

639
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: one two eighty eight to take Game four. They're up

640
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: three to one. Career high thirty eight from Derek White

641
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty six from the field, eight three pointers

642
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: from this guy, fifteen attempts, letting it rip, and really

643
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: in a game where nobody could find a rhythm sort

644
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: of early especially, it was all Derek. It's sixteen first

645
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: quarter points. Now the Celtics take a three one lead.

646
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: They'll look to close this out a little bit later

647
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: in the week. But there were some injuries too here

648
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: for Boston. I don't know if you want to start there.

649
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: The most notable one the Kristaps porzingis injury where he

650
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: tweaked something catching a pass in the second quarter there,

651
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: and the team is saying it's a right calf tightness.

652
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: I think Wojes was saying. Early indications are that he

653
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: didn't sustain an Achilles' tendon injury, so that's good. But look,

654
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: calf injuries have kept guys out. We're seeing that right

655
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: now with Giannis. So this could be a could be

656
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: a huge, huge blow of course to the Celtics, not

657
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: for this series, but moving forward in their championship aspirations.

658
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 4: To me, this is the biggest thing that happened. Yeah,

659
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: on courts last night. Porzingis going down and we've had

660
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: a really bad run for Calves lately with Giannis and

661
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: then Porzingis and then even Murray is dealing with the

662
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: same thing. A Grade one strain one to two weeks,

663
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 4: that's fine, you can live with that. Yeah, if it's

664
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 4: if you're the Celtic, it's been a grade two is

665
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: more like three to six weeks. And if you're comparing

666
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 4: it to like Jannis, that guy hasn't played for three

667
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 4: weeks and no return in sight at this point that

668
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: it said, Christaps did say good w tonight, d White

669
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: a special thanks for all the support, will be good

670
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 4: fleximoji flex emoji. You're feeling confident that he'll be back

671
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: right and at the very least, at least the Celtics

672
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: still have Al Horford, who is still good. Got the

673
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: start in the second half of this one. Played twenty

674
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 4: minutes in the second half, five points, six rebounds, a

675
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 4: couple of sists. He does give you the stretch that

676
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: Porzingis does as a forty three point shooter, but he

677
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 4: doesn't beat switches quite in the same way that Porzingis does.

678
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 4: You're not throwing it to Al Horford in the post

679
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: anymore of these days. Twenty one and four, the Celtics

680
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: went without Porzingis this season, so they can win without him,

681
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 4: and I think they can definitely beat the Cavs or

682
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: the Magic in the next round without Porzingis, So maybe

683
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 4: he gets enough time to rest between the end of

684
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: this series and that next one.

685
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do have death. As you said, Al Horford,

686
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 2: there was a reason they win god Xavier Tillman at

687
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, just to have guys, to have bodies

688
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: along with Luke Cornette to the our guys, and as

689
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: you said, will be good in his tweet, I think

690
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: is a good sign.

691
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: He was in a walking boot, but that's you know,

692
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: they generally do that same.

693
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: And they didn't after he went out. They didn't say

694
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: he's out. They said he's doubtful to return, which is

695
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: better than no chance in hell that he's coming back.

696
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: And actually he had right calf tightness a little bit earlier.

697
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: There's something going on with his other leg before that play,

698
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier in the game, and then the

699
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: left one, So it was more like a pair zingis

700
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: to me, pair of zings to those legs, I thought,

701
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: in both one and both of them, so obviously a

702
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: bet sign. Then he needed to go sit and that

703
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: was fine because that other guy, I have to get

704
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: a Derek White game like that, which he had eight

705
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: points and fifty eight seconds in that first quarter. It

706
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: was just bank bank bank, and it was like the

707
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: game before when obviously he didn't score nearly as much

708
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: in Game three, but he had twelve points in a

709
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: four minute stretch. He was just he was just flying.

710
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: I mean, he was stepping into threes. There was two

711
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: big dunks in the third quarter where he was flying

712
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: through the lane.

713
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 4: Thirty freaking points.

714
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: That to me, I'm having some visions of the NBA Finals.

715
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: To see this guy in the finals. It reminded me

716
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: of Aaron Gordon leading his team in scoring in Game

717
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: four of the NBA Finals over Jamal and Jokic when

718
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: he was awesome and he had twenty seven. So these

719
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: are the things that, like we were just talking about

720
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: the Denver NUS, that's what championship teams do. And this

721
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: guy's obviously in his prime. He's looking great.

722
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: And those two games in Miami, the Celtics made an

723
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: effort to take away the three pointers as much as

724
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 1: possible from Miami. They only shot sixty one threes in

725
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: Games three and four, I'm putting those two games together.

726
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: It's actually not a lot. And unsurprisingly these are games

727
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: where the Heat lose both and are held below ninety

728
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: points in both as well. So Celtics after that little

729
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: scaring Game two, take care of business in Miami Game five.

730
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: Like I said later this week, they'll try and close

731
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: it out. There was another injury in this game, maybe

732
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: not as notable as the porzingis, but it's Tatum and

733
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your take on this, especially stan

734
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: Man Gundy on the call and all the comments he

735
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: had on this, but we'll show it to you. It's

736
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, so it's after a foul on

737
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: the floor there and Tatum's gonna do the thing where

738
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: he's like, well, I'm gonna get up a practice shot

739
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: and BAM's like, no, you're not. I'm gonna sort of

740
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: challenge you. And when he does, he steps under Tatum's

741
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: feet on the on the contest and Tatum rolls his

742
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: ankle and then we have a lengthy review on this,

743
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: and this is where stan Van Gundy is so sharing

744
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: all his thoughts on this, but he is assessed Bam

745
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: is with a flagrant one and I guess Horford got

746
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: a tech within all of this as well. But Okay,

747
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: on one hand, this was a little ironic that it

748
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: happened to the Celtics, because wasn't Joe Mozilla's whole thing

749
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: that we let no practice shots up, we keep playing

750
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: through coaches included. But yes, then then you know, Bam

751
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: does this and he gets underneath it but stands like basically,

752
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: Stan Maan Gundy is like, the play's.

753
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 4: Over, sorry, buddy, like, don't take a shot, don't take

754
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 4: a shot?

755
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: What did you think of that? You know a lot

756
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: of people, obviously Celtics fans quite upset with that. He

757
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: even said, I'm showing my bias here with how Boston

758
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: has played here in Miami. But what do you think?

759
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could get a flagrant after the play.

760
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 4: That was the first thing to me. I was like,

761
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 4: what's that's it?

762
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: Like?

763
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: I mean, odd, Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, that was just

764
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 4: weird that it happened. I guess the Celtics can't get

765
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 4: too mad at it because, like you're saying, Joe Mizula

766
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 4: does it, you know, but man, Stan Van Gundy, what

767
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 4: a weird game I thought from this guy. I think

768
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 4: he thinks the Heat won. He said he's showing his bias.

769
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 4: Why does he have bias for the Heat he coached

770
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 4: for the Heat, or is it more so that he's

771
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: talking trash to his brother, Jeff Fan Gundy, who helps

772
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 4: out with the Celtics. I don't know, Yeah, but it

773
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 4: was very weird the way he was talking about the

774
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 4: Celtics in this game, being up by twenty and talking

775
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 4: about how poorly they're playing.

776
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did give up open looks.

777
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 4: The Heat missed a lot of open looks, but Boston

778
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: was still dominating. I just thought odd stuff from stan

779
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 4: Van Gundy. But players take shots after the whistle all

780
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 4: the time. Yeah, nobody ever gets hurt.

781
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: I think he's a little pissed being on the call

782
00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: it'll blow out.

783
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was saying that the whole first half. He

784
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: was saying that the self explayed way better defense in

785
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: Game three, and he was kind of criticizing them just

786
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: not going out to the three point shooters. So that's

787
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: why he kept saying they ain't playing as good as

788
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: they did in Game three as far as the shot

789
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: goes after the whistle and all that. The flagrant travel

790
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: was because Bam was in his landing spot. Yeah, and

791
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: so that's.

792
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: But then the counter is like, there's no play, it's

793
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: not a play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, does the land was

794
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: allowed to go away? Does the landing spot go away

795
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: after there's you know, the whistle is dead?

796
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: It's it is weird. When Joe Mozula did this earlier

797
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: in the season, who was it was a player? He

798
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: was Kevin Durano, somebody who said you could injure a guy,

799
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: you could literally.

800
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show. We thought, maybe

801
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: the NBA is going to make a rule that coaches

802
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: can't close out on on shooters because unfortunately, someone might

803
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: get injured.

804
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: And Joe Mozula said that they were going to make that.

805
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: They contacted him days later and he said, there is

806
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: going to be a rule. Now it hasn't happened. Hasn't happened,

807
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: and a coach contesting a shot hasn't happened since either.

808
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: But this also is like a deep three, So Tatum

809
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: kind of jumps a little forward. If you want to

810
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: get I'll frickin take oh.

811
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: And I don't think Bam was like intentionally trying to

812
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: hurt Tatum. No, he was just like, no, you're not

813
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: getting up a practice shot and steps up and steps

814
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: up and yeah, Tatum goes forward and then tweaked it.

815
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything serious from what we've seen, Like,

816
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Tatum is going to miss the next

817
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: game like a monster dunk later. Yeah that's right.

818
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I say that for you gotta go KG style.

819
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 4: Just got to block it at the rim, you know,

820
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 4: shoot to three and knock it out before it goes in.

821
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: I guess your hands up on those rims.

822
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: Hurt your finger, hurt a finger? Catch it there. Uh So, anyway,

823
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: the Celtics can advance to the second round on Wednesday

824
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: night in Game five, and the winner of Boston Miami

825
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: will take on Cleveland or Orlando in the semifinals. But

826
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: that's not going to end till at least Friday. So

827
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: you wonder, sort of like we saw in these other

828
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: series in the West there, Game five was Boston like,

829
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: try and put them away, end it and maybe you

830
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: get a little bit more, especially when you've got KP

831
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: with his injury and you know whatever. A lot of

832
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: tweaked ankles.

833
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: There's a lot of tweaked ankles. There's a lot of

834
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 4: caps last night ankles yes, we're going down like crazy.

835
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean, New Balance has got to make some high cuts,

836
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: mid cuts. Everybody's wearing low cuts.

837
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, bring back the Matt Bonnard New Balance because we're

838
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: very high cut ankle. You know, you don't jump. It helps.

839
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 4: You're gonna get a great effort from the Heat. I

840
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: do believe in game five. Close out games are super hard,

841
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 4: and the Heat have played well against the Celtics in

842
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 4: the past.

843
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: Yep.

844
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 4: But they're just gonna have to make more threes because

845
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 4: they made twenty three in their win and they've made

846
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 4: thirty in the other games.

847
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: Right total, Yeah, wow, all right, that's uh. Last night's

848
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: three games, two of them done. But we got to

849
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: find out what happens to game five there between the

850
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: Celtics and the Heat.

851
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 4: Let's play a little.

852
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: Is this news? Why not? It's been a while. I

853
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: could have just given you the headlines and we can

854
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: just talk about them. Bring I want you to tell

855
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: me whether or not they're actually newsworthy. Play along here

856
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: in the stream team and podcast listeners. First one from ESPN,

857
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal says, sons in different position with better health?

858
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: Is this news? TK? You get started here?

859
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 4: Betterhelp?

860
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

861
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: Betterhealth dot com better health promo code Sons in four.

862
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: Is this news? No, this is not news. I don't

863
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 4: think And Bradley Beal is probably right. The Sons would

864
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 4: be better if they had great health from all three

865
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: of their guys on the court. When all three of

866
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 4: them played, they played at a fifty two win pace.

867
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 4: That would be fourth in the Western Conference. And that's

868
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 4: about where they feel. Somewhere between four and six. That

869
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: seems like where the Sons are likely landing. But I

870
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 4: also don't know how much better health they're actually going

871
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 4: to be able to get. Kevin durantlay seventy five games

872
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 4: this season. That's his most since twenty nineteen. Devin Booker

873
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 4: played sixty eight games this season. That's tied for his

874
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 4: most since twenty twenty. Bradley Beal played fifty three games.

875
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 4: That's not very many, no, but it's his most since

876
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one. Usip Nerkis played seventy six games. That's

877
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 4: his most since twenty eighteen. Grayson Allen played seventy five games,

878
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 4: though was hurt in the playoffs. Still seventy five games,

879
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: it's the most of his career. They actually had great

880
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 4: health for their starters. They just happened to not always

881
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: line up. It always felt like there was one guy out,

882
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 4: somebody would come back, the other guy gets hurt. That

883
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 4: definitely throws you behind the eight ball. But this seems

884
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 4: like a convenient excuse for a team that just wasn't

885
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 4: good enough and not deep enough at all.

886
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and last I checked, the Big three did play

887
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: in the postseason against the Wolves, and they weren't good

888
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: They weren't good enough. No, No, that's the thing. Those guys,

889
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: bial Booker, Durant, they were a minus fifty one when

890
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: they shared the floor in the four game suite. They

891
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: died that. I mean, we can get in all the

892
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: role players. So I got the construction at all. It's

893
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: Vogels fault, but it's those guys. They got out class

894
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: by Aunt and Go and obviously Cat at times like

895
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: those guys. They played better. They did, and they have

896
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: a better team Minnesota. But still, when your big three

897
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: is not coming through and it's not even close to

898
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: even there when they're out there, then you're in trouble

899
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get swept.

900
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this series started poorly. Dun Booker got in

901
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: foul trouble. They never got into a flow. Maybe they

902
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: get into a flow if they play eighty games together.

903
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: I do buy that what Bradley Beal is saying is

904
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 2: technically logically correct. It is correct. But Bradley Beal's health

905
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: has been a worry, and I was wrong coming into

906
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 2: the season. I thought he would just get healthier, and

907
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: maybe he knows that I do have to be healthier,

908
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 2: and that is my job literally this this off season

909
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: to somehow strengthen his back, which comes up every freaking year,

910
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: it really does.

911
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, he came into the season with lower back.

912
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why he missed so many games. And yeah,

913
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: Katie's number is obviously a great number. And yeah they

914
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: literally if they had this these games played together, and

915
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 2: Booker gets into foul trouble in Game one, maybe they somehow,

916
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: some way can fight that and know that they should

917
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: be way better like they were in Game four. Game

918
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: four was their best game, their only game where they

919
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 2: had a close game in this series. So this team,

920
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: you know, logically, looking at it, obviously it's it ain't

921
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: good four through twelve or five through twelve or whatever.

922
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 2: It's not built all that well. But their top three

923
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 2: is so freaking good. So you know, looking at the

924
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 2: teams that just advance, like OKAC and Minnesota, even Boston,

925
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: who's going to advance? Games played together matters. Those teams

926
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: are freaking good. Denver, those teams are freaking good. Philadelphia

927
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 2: is the exact opposite. And you'd heard all season not

928
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 2: in a good spot, not perfect. So yeah, Bial is right.

929
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: This is news for him, I guess because going to

930
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: the offseason, I think that's what his focus has to be.

931
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: I am really interested to see what James Jones and

932
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: Matti Shbia, probably who has the overhand of everything that happens,

933
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 2: is going to do because as I brought up yesterday,

934
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 2: they can't put salaries together to make a big trade.

935
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: And will they try one of these monster deals in

936
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: Durant or Booker Who's there's rumors that he wants to

937
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: be in New York nickas Stephen A. Smith said, I

938
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 2: mean that seems very far fetched. Or even this Grace

939
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: and Allen contract, that is something that other teams would want, right,

940
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 2: So maybe they go get a defensive, strong minded guy

941
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: to be in that starting lineup. Maybe perhaps I don't know,

942
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 2: but I did enjoy the Bradley Beal interview. It was

943
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 2: a funny start to the interview. Yeah, yeah, because because

944
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 2: he knows. After Game three, he said, I've never been

945
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 2: swept in my life. I'll be damned if that happens.

946
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: So he sat down, he said, I'll be damned if

947
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: that happens. Good start, a good start, because you know

948
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: you got Yeah, that was funny.

949
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, you're right. The back tightness he came

950
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: in with. Then he had nankel spray, and then he

951
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: had hamstring strained. Then he had a broken nose. He's

952
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: got a concussion, like he had a he had a

953
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: season from hell, got b Bradley Beal, but he also

954
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: he had what eighteen points per game in the regular

955
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: season for the Suns, and it got worse in the postseason.

956
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: Like that went down. Like he's getting close to not

957
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: being in the Big three, you know, like he's only

958
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: in the Big three because of contract. If we're being honest,

959
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: he didn't play like a guy that's in the Big three.

960
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Maybe just being healthy helps him and

961
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do. I think Ishbia and James

962
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: Jones are going to talk to the media tomorrow. I

963
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: think they're scheduled for Wednesday, And it was really only

964
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: Beal and there was someone else? Was it Grayson Allen

965
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: that spoke to the media yesterday, But not your Kadi's

966
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 1: and not your Bookers. In other news, let's go overseas here,

967
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: NBA dot com says the Pacers to face the Spurs

968
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: in Paris for two regular season games in January twenty

969
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty five. Tasmellis, is this news.

970
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: You'd better believe it. It is great news for French

971
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: basketball fans to see that guy uh mister come out

972
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: to his country. Now. Is it good news because the

973
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: Pacers are there. I don't know, it's it's I guess it's.

974
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: It's a far better game than they had this year

975
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 2: with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets there they

976
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: played in Paris. Not as good as having I'm a

977
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 2: competent out and to get in two games as well.

978
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: This year was just a one game. As for the Pacers, yeah,

979
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: I bring them up because I mean there's no French players.

980
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: Andrew Nemhart is Canadian. Maybe he can speak a little French.

981
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll ask him some French questions. Ben Matthews forgot

982
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: a little bit right. Yeah, he does a good call.

983
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: I forgot about that because he's not freaking playing right now,

984
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: which is really weird. I'll be back, but a good side,

985
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: good good. What are they going to do other than

986
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: the regular season games? They always have these random events. Yeah,

987
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna be.

988
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Wenby's going to be a busy man that week. I'm

989
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: sure a lot of interviews and whatever activations, whatever he's doing.

990
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: But this is good that we're sending the Pacers and

991
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: Spurs late January. I guess this is bad for Indiana

992
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: Pacers fans that live in their home state. You don't

993
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: get to see Wemby.

994
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 4: They shouldn't do this with an Eastern Conference team. It

995
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: should be the same conference.

996
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: Right, right, so you at least have the one option

997
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: to see the Wembama play in your own barn. Yeah

998
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: that's fair.

999
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 4: What about all those Spurs fans? I want to see

1000
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 4: Tyreese Halliburton then't cant to see him either. I think

1001
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 4: it's worse for Pacers fans personally.

1002
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I wonder if the NBA you just make

1003
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: you one game, sorry, you make you a one game

1004
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: and you pick whose home game it is, right, Like

1005
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: that's what they did this They could Yeah, yeah, so

1006
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 2: you could have. But the two games, yeah, just takes

1007
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: it away, takes it off the schedule.

1008
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 4: It tas it completely off the schedule. But let's see

1009
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 4: twenty twenty they played in Paris, twenty twenty three, they

1010
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 4: played in Paris, twenty twenty four they played in Paris,

1011
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 4: and then next year do you think Wemby's going to

1012
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 4: play one to two games in Paris for the entirety

1013
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 4: of his career. Interesting, they can just keep going back,

1014
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 4: Like why would you change it?

1015
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. They want the international crowds to be

1016
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: of course into it, and to expand in the continent

1017
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: as well, which would happen as well. Yeah, you know,

1018
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: the more people will be watching via their apps that

1019
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: will get to her.

1020
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: I just wonder if the organization, the San Antonio spurs

1021
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: like at some point, okay, that's enough, you know, like

1022
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: see there's a lot of logistics here and you'll see

1023
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: how it goes. Maybe they don't play well over there

1024
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: because again he's pulled in every direction or whatever, the

1025
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: you know, the travel and all that. Like we'll see

1026
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: maybe they kick ass and they're like, yeah, we'll go back.

1027
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: We love it over there.

1028
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 4: We never do.

1029
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 2: But It's true that the pulling in direction stinks for

1030
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: these guys. At times they get tired. It happened to

1031
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: Wemba this year, and Wenby wasn't even an All Star

1032
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: this year. So next year, when he will be an

1033
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: All Star, he's going to be pulled everywhere.

1034
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: Isn't the next number one pick of the upcoming draft?

1035
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: Isn't a French guy too? Look at a chance? Yeah

1036
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be top.

1037
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: Three or what any Yeah sometuff like that.

1038
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: So well, we have no shortage of French guys to

1039
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: send over there, all right. So Paris Games twenty twenty five,

1040
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: late January. Next headline, final headline from the Wall Street Journal,

1041
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: though I could have picked from the Athletic, could have

1042
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: picked from Awful Announcing. There was a lot on this yesterday,

1043
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: but I'll go with the Wall Street Journal. NBC prepares

1044
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: two point five billion a year bid to pluck that

1045
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: it writes from TNT. Yink, give me that Trey Kirby.

1046
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: Is this news?

1047
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 4: Pluck watch? I mean, this is big time news. If

1048
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 4: TNT loses the NBA, that's huge news.

1049
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1050
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 4: Hard to imagine an NBA without TNT, though we have

1051
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 4: seen it because we're old. Yeah, and it's a real

1052
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 4: catch twenty two for us. Which do you like more,

1053
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 4: Roundball Rocker Inside the NBA?

1054
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: Both great?

1055
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: Wow, I like Inside the NBA more, I think so.

1056
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1057
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 4: You can listen to Roundball rock anytime you want.

1058
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in a commercial right now with Kevin Hart.

1059
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 4: Oh, it is a great song.

1060
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: Good.

1061
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 4: But you can see what the NBA would be especially

1062
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: interested in NBC because they're a broadcast network that is

1063
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 4: huge for visibility. That's something we don't really talk about

1064
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 4: when it comes to NBA ratings in the nineties compared

1065
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 4: to today. You can watch them very easily in the

1066
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 4: nineties when we had eleven channels. I don't know, we

1067
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 4: probably like forty channels back then, but it was a

1068
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 4: big deal and they were on every Sunday. And I

1069
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 4: mean it's still the case. They switched to ABC eventually.

1070
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 4: But from a visibility standpoint, it's easy to watch NBC.

1071
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 4: It's not always easy to watch TNT.

1072
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah, And I wonder if that's even more of

1073
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: a factor because we know Amazon high highly highly highly

1074
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: likely will have NBA rights, the streaming rights, for sure,

1075
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: they do not have a broadcast channel, and so maybe

1076
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: that plays into not having TNT, which would be surprising

1077
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: because it's definitely going to es Ben is back, who

1078
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 2: also has ABC. Amazon likely to be the other one

1079
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: on Thursday nights when Amazon has games on the NFL

1080
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 2: as well. So you see somebody that sees as an

1081
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: NFL fan and sees a dud of a football game, Well,

1082
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: there's a basketball game on, so I'm sure that helps.

1083
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 2: This is interesting because do you want to be watching

1084
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: NBC the channel or Cock And do you like the

1085
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: Peacock better than the TNT app because that's become a

1086
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: good experience and they have strong sports lineups. You know,

1087
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: reading these articles will remind me, Oh yeah, Ahl is here,

1088
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 2: March Madness and NASCAR, and so.

1089
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: You're saying T and T has.

1090
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: Yes, they have those already, so it's a battle and

1091
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 2: this might just be a money play.

1092
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I believe and that TNT has the right

1093
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: to match this too. Whatever this software is, if it's real,

1094
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a huge increase, like duh, we

1095
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: knew that was going to happen, Like this is like

1096
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: double of what TNT pays now per year. It's like

1097
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: one point two billion I think they pay now. So

1098
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: if this is real, this two point five Again, TNT

1099
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: can decide if they want to match up. The other

1100
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: part is, you know it's possible that the NBA goes

1101
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: with four carriers here, right, we all believe Amazon will

1102
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: be the streaming Okay, there's that. We know ESPN is

1103
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: going to keep this along with ABC and probably the

1104
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: finals as well as on ABC. And then are they

1105
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: just going to go three track and pick between NBC

1106
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,479
Speaker 1: and tn T and have them bid again each other

1107
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: or does the NBA even want both of them? And

1108
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 1: where it's one night is NBC and one night still

1109
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday nights or Thursday nights, whatever it is, is still Turner,

1110
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: there's that as a possibility too. Now, I think you

1111
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: A question to me is like, can you get too

1112
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: many of these where that pisses off the fan base

1113
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh my god, like tough to follow?

1114
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that's not really a worry anymore in twenty.

1115
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 4: Twenty four, No, I actually think that is a worry

1116
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 4: because you've got to have a lot of subscriptions to

1117
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 4: watch this, and it's also not easy to flip between games,

1118
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 4: like that's a pain these days if you're watching like,

1119
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 4: for instance, last night, we're watching the national games on TNT,

1120
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 4: but there's a game on NBA TV. It takes forever

1121
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 4: to switch from I watch on the Max app right

1122
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 4: it's it's such a weirdo watching NBA games on Max

1123
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 4: right now. But then you got to back out, You

1124
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 4: got to open the NBA app, you got to click

1125
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 4: into the game, you got to click into the stream.

1126
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 4: It takes forever for it to load then, So it

1127
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 4: is much more of a hassle than like, all right,

1128
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 4: channel six we got the national game, Channel eight, we

1129
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 4: got the local game.

1130
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: That's a lot easier. Yeah, And that's why three makes

1131
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more logical sense because there aren't as

1132
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 2: many days to split up. And that may be why

1133
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: it ends up being three, because ESPN would be giving

1134
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 2: up a date. Think about the days here, Like if

1135
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: it is for TN, t will get Tuesday. I imagine

1136
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 2: they have it now like they used to. Wednesday will

1137
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 2: go to ESPN. I suppose Thursday is Amazon. Yeah, and

1138
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 2: and in these articles, these publications of reported deals, that's

1139
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: what it is. It goes Tuesday, TNT, Wednesday, ESPN, Thursday, Amazon,

1140
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: and then the Friday it goes to a fourth channel.

1141
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's now the regional networks get them.

1142
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if

1143
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 2: you want to have more in this again, this may

1144
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: just be to push up the money deal with TNT

1145
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: that that could very well be a possibility, But they don't.

1146
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: Make possiblities because even Amazon could get in on this,

1147
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: right well, we think they are. That's not that doesn't

1148
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: mean like T and T doesn't come up with a

1149
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: deal to do the production for Amazon's It's a possibility

1150
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: where like they could be the inside guys could be

1151
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: they could be producing it, and they could be on Amazon.

1152
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: Like they're obviously having these negotiations. That's not I'm not

1153
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 1: saying they want that. I have no idea if that's true.

1154
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: But like that's stuff that happens.

1155
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: Right yeah, Yeah, And as you said about the apps internationally,

1156
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 2: I wonder how it all ends up working out, right,

1157
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 2: there are a lot of countries that probably don't use

1158
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime as much as we do, and they have

1159
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: Amazon Web services that they that makes it all happen

1160
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 2: on that and so they're good on that end, and

1161
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 2: that's why I guess they're going with that said, but

1162
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: I know that Warner Brothers, slash TNT can match deals.

1163
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 2: But I think NBC, according to the Athletic could try

1164
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: to structure an agreement in a way that makes it

1165
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: very difficult to match it with all their I don't

1166
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 2: know what these all mean, what it really means, but

1167
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 2: I don't know. It ain't over.

1168
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 4: It sounds like Darryl Morey sign an omeer Ashik to

1169
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 4: a poison pill content. I don't know the NBA was

1170
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 4: a restrict did free agent to Warner Brothers match rights? Yeah,

1171
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:04,959
Speaker 4: early bird rights?

1172
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1173
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: Where over the cap can they go?

1174
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 4: They did sign all those inside the NBA guys to

1175
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 4: like gigantic contracts.

1176
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, long term. I thought that the match window

1177
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 2: here was over reading the article. Originally thought it was

1178
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 2: forty five days. I thought it was done. I thought

1179
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 2: Mike Poorkanov wrote about it at the beginning of the season.

1180
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: It got me juiced up. Oh yes, broadcast rights can't

1181
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 2: wait to talk about it. I thought forty five days

1182
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 2: was done. But maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm wrong,

1183
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 2: maybe I'm right. I don't know.

1184
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: I think there's sort of two different things. They have

1185
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 1: the ability to match whatever like ABC, where to offer

1186
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: in this case. But the first part was the matching

1187
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: or the contract that they had.

1188
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 2: Or whatever, or just an exclusive negotiation. Yeah, I think so.

1189
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 1: Be very weird if there's no inside the NBA. Yeah,

1190
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: be very very strange. If TNT Sports does not have

1191
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: NBA games at all because because of NBC, you know,

1192
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: flexing their muscle and money and are like, no, we'll

1193
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: take it.

1194
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 2: You'll never see You'll never see guys race to the

1195
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: board again. It would be so sad for you.

1196
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 4: Jesus Kenny. You see Kenny last night slipped on the

1197
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 4: steps us. You guys actually getting some great, some great

1198
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 4: stuff on the board race.

1199
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: They can't give it up, keep it going.

1200
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 4: I wonder if it would ever be like Joe Buck

1201
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 4: Troy Aikman thing, where like they're calling games for one

1202
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 4: network and then actually those are the guys, we're taking

1203
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 4: them free they call Monday Night football. I wouldn't be surprised.

1204
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: That's definitely so we'll see. Okay, let's uh, before we go,

1205
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 1: get to tweet of the night.

1206
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 2: Tweet of the night.

1207
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 4: Wow, anybody want to see a weird hat say, yeah, yeah,

1208
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 4: what's going on? Jalen Williams, this is our tweet of

1209
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 4: the night it comes to us from the NBA, Jalen

1210
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 4: Williams arriving in a pair of trash bag pants and

1211
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 4: a hat that I can't even find the words to describe.

1212
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 4: I was trying to look this thing up. I've tried

1213
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 4: like inflatable padded hat, Adidas, Adidas padded trapper hat.

1214
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: You couldn't even find it.

1215
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 4: I couldn't even find it. I've tried every combination of

1216
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 4: trapper hat, padded hat, inflatable hat that I could possibly

1217
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 4: think of. I was writing down what Jalen Williams has

1218
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 4: worn the games here, the jeweled ski mask, padded trapper hat,

1219
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 4: and after I wrote the second one, I was like,

1220
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 4: these sound like AI hat creators. Just throw together some

1221
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 4: words and we'll see what hat comes out. So I

1222
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 4: don't know what's this guy gonna wear next? A TV

1223
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 4: on his head?

1224
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 2: Uh?

1225
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 4: You know, fucking like task had for off once upon a.

1226
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: Time that that you're calling that a hat, I mean,

1227
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: I guess it is almost like a helmet.

1228
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I've had an inflatable helmet.

1229
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't look a little like that.

1230
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, A member on No Bus on

1231
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: Our Survivor podcast. We were talking about, hey, someone should

1232
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: get smart and wear or create like a pillow hat

1233
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: to take out to the island, because then you could

1234
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: sleep easily on your hat. And then we saw suddenly

1235
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: like an usher was wearing something that looked like a

1236
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: giant pillow hat. But this would work too, totally.

1237
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 4: This is even better because it's got the eye shade.

1238
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 4: I guess I keep the bugs away from him? What

1239
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 4: a look? Yeah, super shredder.

1240
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: You have a yeah, super shredder. People were saying, sort

1241
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: of hearkening vibes from Dune helmet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

1242
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it totally looks ai ish. But then you see

1243
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 2: Adidas on the back.

1244
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: He didn't. I didn't see that. He didn't show up.

1245
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,479
Speaker 1: Was he even did they even have the podium game?

1246
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: Was he there?

1247
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: He didn't wear that? Yeah?

1248
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he was.

1249
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 4: Like wearing that on the bus. They had like scraps

1250
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 4: on it until he carried a backpack or something.

1251
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the road too. Yeah, strange.

1252
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 4: Imagine he comes down in the hotel wearing that. They're like, what,

1253
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 4: They'll just start barking.

1254
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: Wear that impossible not to hit his head? Smack the

1255
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: head right anytime you see somebody wearing a helmet, you

1256
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: want to slap him on that. Yeah, he's just fun.

1257
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: This one's like not even gonna hurt, not evenna hurt anybody.

1258
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking of I could have came in today

1259
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 2: with my helmet. I think you have something like that.

1260
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 2: I did. I had a Buffalo Bills one. But I

1261
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: think I in my move, I think it's one of

1262
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 2: those things that Daniel's and my wife's like, come on,

1263
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 2: we got it. We gotta lower, gotta lower the content,

1264
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: which is true. I don't need that helmet, but it

1265
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 2: was a fun helmet, right, that's what people use. I

1266
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 2: guess you know Bill's fans that throw each other in

1267
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 2: the table where they wear helmet.

1268
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: Right, Well, didn't we just learn the NFL is going

1269
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: to allow players to wear what do you call them?

1270
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: Like there's the padded sort of covers on top of

1271
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: their helmets helmets?

1272
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, similar to that, not too different.

1273
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: Okay, but we saw him the other night. Yeah where

1274
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: the I don't know where. It was just like the

1275
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: little people of his face. Oh my god, they killed

1276
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: Kenny luck that he had. You called it the bejeweled

1277
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: ski mask. Then he wears this, I mean What's what?

1278
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: What's the next level for game one? In the next series?

1279
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: Where does he go next?

1280
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 2: Dunce cap.

1281
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 4: Dunce casts are hilarious in the Bugs Bunny days. You

1282
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 4: don't see him as much anymore that you have to

1283
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 4: sit in the corner of the whole time. We're in

1284
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 4: a dust face back right.

1285
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually it is a good pick. So we got

1286
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: the corner right there. It's perfect. What a look, What

1287
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: a look? These kids man don't wear anything. Those kids

1288
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: are crazy, man crazy. All right, let's call it. There

1289
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: three games on tonight, six Ers Nicks New York trying

1290
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: to close out this series in five Madison Square Garden.

1291
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: I assume is going to be rocking for that one.

1292
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 4: We also have.

1293
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: Game five, pivotal Game five between the Magic and Caz.

1294
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: Have the Magic figured something else? When they were at home,

1295
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: it worked, looked great. Didn't look good when they were

1296
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: in Cleveland for games one and two. We'll see what

1297
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: happens there. And then we also have Pacers Box. Now

1298
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: it sounds like the Bucks are not expecting Dame Oriannis

1299
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: in Game five. A very once again disappointing season here

1300
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: for the Milwaukee Bucks this point in ending. If they

1301
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: do go down here tonight in Milwaukee. That's it for

1302
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: me this week. I'm heading home to Toronto. My grandmother

1303
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,520

1306
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: on all these games and everything else that happens this week.

00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 2: We'll miss yet, Yeah, yeah, I can.

1308

1310
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: half series, because I know you just need to hear.

1312
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,440

00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 4: a former Adidas and Easy designer. It's called the Helmet

1314
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 4: Cross body Bag because it does turn into a bag

1315
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 4: a helmet of course, the stuff you were carrying in

1316
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,480

1317
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:33,440

1318
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: Fifty?

1319
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: Not bad?

Speaker 1: It's probably like three made.

1323
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 2: Wipe with a soft cloth, that's how you clean it.

1324
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: Don't wipe with a pin it'll pop the damn thing.
