WEBVTT - All Rookie Teams & Game 1 Results

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>The Unball All Rookie Team, which you know Bill Simmons

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>has been thinking about for the last three weeks since

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>he said all those shady things about Jalen Green.

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>The Rookie team was released. Not a ton of surprises,

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>but here they are first team Scottie Barnes, Caid Cunningham,

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Green, Yes, Sir Jalen Green made the.

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Team, Evan Mobley, and Franz Wagner.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Of interest to me is the fact that the top

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>four picks from the twenty twenty one draft all made

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the All Rookie Team, which it means that this draft

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>was good. It's a good draft, one hundred percent top heavy,

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>giving great value, even kind of like below three. The

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>lowest drafted player on the team is actually Franz Wagner,

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>who was taken eighth by Orlando.

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>So you're getting you're getting.

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Scottie Barnes, Kid Cunningham, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, and Franz Wagner.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Fun stuff.

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, you know Jalen Suggs didn't make the team. Scottie

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Barnes did. He was taken at five, So that's interesting stuff. Actually, no,

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>it's one, two, three, five and eight, not four, and

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>then NBA All Rookie Second Team Io dis soon move.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I think we all kind of figured out it would

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>go there. Chris Duarte for the Pacers, Josh Giddy from

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma City, Bones Highland from Denver, number twenty six, Herb

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Jones taken at thirty five.

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Second Team is fascinating to me.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It includes three players who were drafted at the end

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>of the first round or well into the second round. Giddy,

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of course, was drafted six overall. You could probably make

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the case of that Okayse wasn't tanking, and Giddy played

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>a full season and it wasn't out for some random

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>injury that wasn't real. He could have made All Rookie

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>first Team, like he could have probably taken over Jalen Green,

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>especially since Jalen Green a lot of his strengths happened

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>at the end the tail end of the season. Top

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>draft picks who did not make the All Rookie Team.

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The player probably who has the biggest gripe about not

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>making the NBA All Rookie Team is Chris Dwarte.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>He had thirteen four and two.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Really good early, not so good late, but again really

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>hard to showcase yourself when your team is basically shutting

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you down on purpose because they want to get the

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>ping pong balls again.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Indy knew very quickly. Even though Indiana.

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Has been known of beach just basically succumbing to being mediocre,

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>they're okay with that. They've never liked being in the

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>lottery for some reason. They're not all about the rebuild.

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>The owner has said that on multiple occasions. But they

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.399
<v Speaker 1>realized this train ain't stopping, so we might as well

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>just lean into it, or we're getting smushed. So that's

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>what they had. Also, I think another gripe is probably

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Trey Mann.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>He had a great year.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>He finished tenth in rookie scoring. He had a very

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>positive he had a positive win share on a really

0:02:55.320 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>bad OKC team. And then Alpera and Shangoon really solid

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>year as well, ten five and three. We can go

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>through some of the other ones. Jalen Suggs did okay

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>twelve eight and six. The eight's pretty impressive. Jonathan Kaminga

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>once he finally got on the court, nine three and one.

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>He's playing in the playoffs right now.

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Ish Davion Mitchell twelve two and four off the bench.

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Zire Williams was really good. He had some flashes in

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs eight two and one. James book Knight got

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>off well. He barely even sniffed the floor he was taking.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>He was taken at eleventh. Probably the biggest bust of

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the draft was James Booknight at eleven. He fell like

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a rock, and he probably should have fell even further.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think James Boknight.

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Should have been a first round pick, honestly gross.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Josh Primo another bust, very very much of a reach

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>from San Antonio.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>He put up six two and two.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Chris Dwarte, like I said, he had thirteen four and two,

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Moses Moody at fourteen, Corey Kispert at fifteen. So those

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>are some other notables that weren't on any team. But

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the interesting thing to me was how deep this draft was.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five players average six points or more per game,

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Eleven had ten or more points per game. The only

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>non European drafter, the only non European player drafted in

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one who didn't get minutes on his team

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>was this kid, Jason Preston out of Ohio, drafted by Orlando.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Of course, some random spot and then he ends up

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>getting traded to the Clippers, and then he suffers a

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>season ending injury, and we we'll never hear of him again.

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll never hear this guy's name until, like after me

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>saying it now, you'll never hear of it again. So,

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>with the twenty twenty two draft rapidly coming up, we're

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be spending a ton of time breaking down these prospects,

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>what teams actually need versus what they say they want,

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>right cause that's all about like, oh, are we going

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to take the best available? Are you gonna take for fit?

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna take for upside? Are you going to

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>try to limit risk? All that stuff is something that

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>is there gonna be character concerns because you know that's

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna come out some random Twitter from like two thousand

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and how old are these kids, so like twenty ten, twelve, whatever.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>It is, like, I just want to make sure they're

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>not toddlers. When I'm talking about the Twitter dates, it's like, yeah,

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like two thousand and seventeen.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.799
<v Speaker 2>But it is great looking back and seeing what a crazy.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Good draft twenty twenty one was given that I think

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in advance thought it would be

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>somewhat weak.

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully twenty twenty two is better than we think as well.

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Can't find out until the kids get off.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>The Miami is the one we denied, the one we

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>pushed off to the side, the one that we decided

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't capable of winning for a variety of different reasons,

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>despite the fact that that two years ago they were

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>in the finals, and they have Jimmy Butler, and they

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>play really good defense, and they're one of the best

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>coach teams in the NBA, and also, by the way

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>slight caveat, they were the number one team in the East.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>So like Miami, for some reason, everybody's just like, I

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>don't see it.

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:12.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't see it. Maybe a little time off helped.

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Not sure. I think it's a very very interesting series

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>here right these The Heat heard the haters loud and

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>clear and put a straight beat down on the Boston

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Celtics in a way that shocked probably even the worst

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Miami critic. They made Boston look as bad as they've

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>looked since they were twenty five and twenty five at times. Boston,

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, got out to an early lead, but once

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>halftime came, boy, whoa it was what bad trick time.

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Even without Horford and Smart, Boston had an eight point

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>lead going into halftime, and I was like, they must

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>be feeling themselves. They must be still riding that adrenaline

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>from Game seven with the box, like something's going on.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll just like be Miami up, maybe Miamilla. It

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>wasn't good.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>But what they forgot Boston was that Miami doesn't have

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Botenholezer coaching this team. Like, halftime adjustments are coming, sir,

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>they are coming. Eric Spolstra is in charge, and he's

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>done this a long time. He's been to the finals

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:20.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Five times. I think he did three with Braun.

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he was on the staff four with Braun

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and then the last one, and then was he on

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>staff with the Dwayne Wade series. He might have been

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a video assistant there. Five at least we know.

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Five at least.

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.559
<v Speaker 1>So how good was his halftime adjustment? Really really, really good?

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 1>The Celtics got just destroyed from the opening possession of

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the second half. They got outscored twenty to two out

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of the blocks thirty nine to fourteen in the third quarter.

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Boston did not score their first basket until four point

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty three left over seven minutes without one single bucket.

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know who was important.

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>P J Tucker even off like his bum ankle, which

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>he's I think he twisted.

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>In the first half.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>PJ Tucker shut Tatum and Brown down, and I tell

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you what. As Tatum's primary defender, PJ Tucker held Tatum

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>zero for three shooting and basically put him in jail

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the entire second half. And that was after coming back

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>from what I said, nasty ankle injury. Jimmy Butler was

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>also really, really good, like to the point where I

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>can't doubt he's just maybe he just sucks in the

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>regular season and maybe that's just it. Maybe he's just

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>really good in the playoffs and that's it. He's just

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>he's hitting shot after shot. I've called him Jimminy Bricketts

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>like in the Times. He was bad last year though

0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>against Milwaukee, he was awful. It was really bad, very inconsistent.

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>He was hitting brick after brick. Anyway, I gotta give

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler his flowers. I can't slander him last year.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Right now, he's really good, He's excellent. He has said

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody was sleeping on me. Yes we were, And now

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>we are not. Jimmy Butler's point prop tonight is for

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Game two, twenty six and a half points.

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll hit that.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried, of course, you think about the regression to

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the mean, But he's balling right now.

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 2>He's balling right now. Game two gonna be tough tonight.

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>No Derick White, no.

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Horford, Marcus Smart's probably gonna play, but he's limping on

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a fractured foot.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this Boston team is a hospital wing.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Horford has COVID, and now Derek White just had a baby.

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations to Derek White. Cannot wait to see how Boston

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>adjusts or tries to adjust to replicate the first half

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of Game one.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Throughout the second half.

0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Dallas Golden State first and foremost, probably

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.719
<v Speaker 1>one of the better coaching efforts that we've seen from

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kurr in years.

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>In a crucial moment.

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Probably you know, sit back, refresh yourself, watch the games

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 1>on TV, see if anything sticks out. He had COVID

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>for like four straight games or something. He's bothering his wife,

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>making her forcing her watch TV with him watching games.

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>She said she'll never do that again. I bet he's awful.

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.319
<v Speaker 1>I bet he says so much stuff that she doesn't

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>understand what catch the pin.

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Down, catch them get him on the backside.

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's literally like drawing things up for her. She said,

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I do not care. I'm I'm doing wordle right now,

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just sitting here like it's fine.

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Let me just tell you about how it was supposed

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 2>to go. She's like, I don't care anyway. So that

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>time off might have refreshed him, because.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>He did some amazing things defensively on Luca that people

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>really were wondering how he would neutralize him, And maybe

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>he won't moving forward, maybe Luca will have a coming

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 1>out party at some point. But that unique challenge he

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>took on and had, like I mean a thick, Bible

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>sized book full of defensive sets that he threw out

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>on the table for Game one.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 2>They were just confused, like, Yo.

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.439
<v Speaker 1>You've thrown literally ten different schemes at us and it's

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter.

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 2>What's happening here?

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>This is the type of Elite Warriors team defensively that

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we saw in the first twenty games, where they were stifling,

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 1>they were blitzing.

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's picking up on help like.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Guys are tagging like everybody knows what they're supposed to do.

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>They're the ones doing the confusing instead of being the

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ones confused. The versatility really was some of the best

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>that I've seen in a long time. They were limiting

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>all of the shot creation from Luca, putting him into

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>bad spaces where he only had a limited amount of

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>options instead of all the options that he's normally available

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to have. And the stat that mattered the most to

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>me defensively was that Golden State had fifteen blocks and

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>steals to Dallas's seven, just more defensively active offensively, Golden

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>State basically blew Dallas' doors off, not through one guy

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>going nuclear, but exactly what got them there the first

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty games as well, spreading the wealth out balanced. All

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>seven Warriors who got thirteen minutes of time were more

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>scored in double figures, none scoring more than twenty one.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>So for anyone who had STEP's prop at twenty six

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and a half, that was a loser. Game was not

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>close after the first quarter, even though Dallas was trying

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to bring it back, bring it back, claw in, they.

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Cut it to five.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Somebody said this on Twitter, which is so true. If

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you are down by ten to the Warriors, you're really

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>down by twenty. If you're tied with the Warriors, you're

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>really down ten. In order for things to be act

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 1>equal truthfully, where it's like zero zero, you need to

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>be up ten.

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.679
<v Speaker 2>You need to be up fifteen because the Warriors have.

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>A way of just a flurry of shot making where

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you look up, you take a drink, and they're up

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>forty like that's just them. So you need to figure

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>out a way to get going early, or it's night

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>night sleep mask for you. Dallas was awful, shooting the

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>ball thirty six percent from the floor, twenty three percent

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 1>from three, and Dallas had almost twice as many three

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>point attempts as the Warriors, and they were open, they

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>were open.

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>It was gross.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I saw Reggie Bulock shoot four threes in a row, open,

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>all missus. I saw Luca shoot three threes in a row,

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>all missus. I mean, when does that happen? When does

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that ever happen? Something's wrong with Luca too. You know

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that his shoulders banged up. He's got a rake scar

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>across his face now, which he thinks is pretty cool.

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>He's probably drinking right now, just getting his stretch on

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>doing a little cold tub, but I expect Jason Kidd

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to come back with his own counters in game two.

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Super excited to see how this goes. I want to

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.079
<v Speaker 1>see I want to see both series go seven, truthfully,

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and that should be something for us to keep in mind,

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 1>because if you're a Golden State Warrior fan and you

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>think this is just how it's gonna be, I regret

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to inform you that Dallas has been has lost every

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 1>single game one so far.

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>This playoff series. Bye.

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to say Game one of the first round

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't by a ton, but Game one in the Sun

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>series was by a lot. They've lost multiple games by

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>ten or more and they've won some games too by

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>ten or more. So look out, Golden State, Dallas is coming.

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>That's all the time that we have for the Heat

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:48.680
