Speaker 1: great Warriors game. That's what people care about. What a

9
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: what a wild one? One O seven ninety seven The

10
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: final score the last five seventeen of this game, when

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: the Celtics had the lead, they only scored three points

12
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. It was a seventeen to

13
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: three run for the Warriors at the end of this game,

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: forty three for Steph when all is said and done,

15
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Trade just first reaction to that thing you've saw live.

16
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: Unbelievable to me that the Warriors came back to win

17
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: this game. Marcus Smart hit a three with a to

18
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: put the to put the Celtics up ninety four to

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 3: ninety and that's when I thought the lid was gonna

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: explode on this building. It was so loud. I was

21
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: getting ready. My dad had just texted me. He said,

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: is it loud there? I said, yeah, it had been.

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: Right after the Jalen Brown lay up. They go to break,

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: eventually come back, Marcus Smart hits that three. I'm ready

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: to text him it's even louder right now. I thought

26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: the game was over in that moment, but then Stephen

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: Curry completely took over the last three minutes of this game.

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: Pulled off an incredible move, dribbling I don't know twenty

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: seven times to finally lose Robert Williams and hit the

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: silkiest eighteen foot running floater, a shot you only want

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: Stephen Curry to take get into the line a little

32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: bit later. Curry carried the Warriors throughout this entire game.

33
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: Took him a while to finally put some points on

34
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: the board in the fourth quarter, and then he could

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: not stop scoring. I thought it was cool to see

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson hit a big shot in the fourth quarter,

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: and even Draymond Green, who had a very weird game.

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: At one point, Curry got double teamed. They dished it

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: to Draymond and he found Looney under the hoop for

40
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 3: a layup. That was a huge play as well. So

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if the Warriors end up winning this series.

42
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: The Celtics are going to look back on these last

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: three minutes and really really kick themseelves for how it

44
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: went down.

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nuts that Marcus Smart scored five eighteen

46
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: left and then there was that wild foul that they

47
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: had a little and won there, which seemed like it

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: was way after the play. But then a run where

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins offensive board score, offensive board scorer for Andrew Waggins,

50
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: two straight possessions like that the clay shot you mentioned there,

51
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: then the clerk Curry dancing on Robert Williams, and the

52
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Celtics went called there, Lee, did you feel like they

53
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: had it there at the end?

54
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? I did, and Trey and I were up here

55
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: in the rafters and it sort of had a bit

56
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: of a feel to Game three there where we sort

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: of thought, listen, the Warriors just can't really stop the

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Celtics from scoring. They were scoring okay themselves, but every

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: time Boston needed a basket, they tended to get one.

60
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: But tonight that wasn't the case there down the stretch,

61
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: and Boston started to get a little bit nervous. I

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: think they maybe were starting to look towards Game five

63
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: and thinking, hey, maybe we can close this out in

64
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: San Francisco, but that won't be the chance now because

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: they have to go there to win the pivotal Game five.

66
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: And honestly, for the Golden State Warriors, they just this

67
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: was a must win. They did it. They win on

68
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: the road as they always do, the Celtics lose a

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: one at home as they always do, and Golden State

70
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: probably just feel like, hey, Steph took a huge game

71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: from him tonight, but I bladge have brought up Andrew Wiggins.

72
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: He quietly had a very very productive game seventeen points,

73
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: sixteen rebounds, and he finished the plus twenty and he

74
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: just seemed to find himself in the right place at

75
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: the right time there because as we've seen before from

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: the Warriors in this series, they didn't get another guy

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: really in their flow. Jordan Pool had a couple of baskets,

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: and play had a couple, but no one was out

79
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: there really lighting it up. Andrew Wiggins just seemed to

80
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: get himself in the right place at the right time.

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: But I think as well, if you go back to

82
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: that first quarter when the Warriors built up a big lead,

83
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: or not a big lead, but established a small lead

84
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: there and Steph to walk in trash to the fans.

85
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: He was up for this one. He really really wanted it,

86
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: and he went out there and proved it tonight with

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: just an incredible forty three points. He picked up ten

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: rebounds there himself, but seven for fourteen from downtown fourteen

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: for twenty six. Couple of sloppy turnovers, we saw that

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: from both teams there tonight, but obviously in the end

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: the Warriors closed it out and very very impressive victory.

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he came back on after sitting at the

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: beginning of the fourth quarter, which were you know, tight

94
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: butt whole minutes for the Golden State Warriors. There he

95
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: came on and yeah, through the classics, Steph over my

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: head pass and it sure looked like this is going

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: to go the Celtics direction. Yeah, I mentioned you mentioned

98
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: the Jalen Brown plays there where he looked great, and

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: that's where Jordan Poole air quotes shoved Marcus Smart in

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: the back and got in and one, which was a

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: terrible call. But then it felt like, yeah, the Celtics

102
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: were free. But Andrew Wiggins big offensive board. Andrew Wiggins

103
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: another big offensive board which were key because, as you said, Lee,

104
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the Warriors didn't seem like they had anyone going. But then, yeah,

105
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: the Celtics go double Curry, Clay gets a big three

106
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: Curry hits that floating twelve foot push shot you mentioned

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: Trey where he danced on Robert Williams where people will say, wait,

108
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: don't you telling me.

109
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: That was only twelve feet? That was only twelve feet.

110
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: It seemed like it was at least twenty feet. In

111
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: my mind it was one centimeter inside the three point line.

112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: That was That was beautiful.

113
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: It was beautiful, and maybe twenty feet in the air

114
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: because it was it was a bit of a moon bar.

115
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: But I know, I don't know if you guys felt.

116
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: People in the building must have felt like Steph Curry

117
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: double dribbled on that play, right because Smart touched it

118
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: and then he started dribbling again, but he did actually

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: touch it. And the Celtics faith all were pissed, but

120
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: I guess they get pissed about everything. The atmosphere in

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: the building just in general.

122
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: Tonight loud and proud, and they were raw and they

123
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: were ready to party, no question about it. Every time. Again,

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: when the Warriors made a little push and the Celtics

125
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: counted and they usually got two or three possessions. Clear.

126
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: It just had that feeling that people it's a Friday

127
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: night as well. Everyone's out on the town. They're ready

128
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: to go crazy. And then just as the Warriors got

129
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: that the lead, they're late. I noticed, and I'm looking.

130
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not going to tell on the

131
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: Celtics supporters, but I noticed a few people in the

132
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: heading for the exits a little bit early there. They

133
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: could sense it when it was it was about six points,

134
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: and I said to Trey, I said, six points, minute

135
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: and a half to go, two minutes ago. Feels like

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: it's about ten to fifteen points though. Here just the

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors just knew all they really had to

138
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: do was run out the clock and get the ball

139
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: into STEP's hands and they'd probably be safe. So I'll

140
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: tell you what though, I mean, obviously we're coming back

141
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: here for at least one game. This building has been

142
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: so crazy and so loud. I can't imagine what it

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: will be like in here for Game six. It's going

144
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: to be huge, huge, I tell you.

145
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: So, you say we're coming back, does that mean you're

146
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: going back for game six or you just mean the

147
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: Celtics are playing.

148
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: Another long Well, maybe I'll be back. I don't know,

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: we haven't haven't really talked about it, but yeah, I'd

150
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: love to come back here. I mean, it's been a

151
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: great experience. It's been a great couple of days up here,

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: and the games have been awesome as well. So I'm available, tass, Yeah,

153
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 2: if you want to send me coffee.

154
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: Culture is so big here that leaves fitting in really,

155
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: really easily. He's one of the locals already. I think.

156
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: Also a huge point for with regards to the comeback

157
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: and the fourth order for the Warriors was when Robert

158
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: Williams went down with whatever injury he sustained late in

159
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, because I thought he was dominating the

160
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: paint for the majority of this game, all over the glass,

161
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: all over, you know, just basically out jumping Draymond Green

162
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: for offensive rebounds and put backs and really keeping the

163
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: Warriors away from the paint. When he went out in

164
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, the Warriors finally started getting a few

165
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: baskets near the rim and were able to make their

166
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: own place on the offensive rebounds. And that's when you

167
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: saw Wiggins kind of come alive on the offensive glass

168
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: as well. He was a consistent presence all night, but

169
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: you really felt him there in the fourth quarter once

170
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: Williams was out. So we'll see how, you know, as

171
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: this series continues, as it has been since Game one,

172
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: is Robert Williams gonna be okay to play? He seems

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: to play every game. He seems to have a huge

174
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 3: impact when he's out there. But that was that was

175
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: a key missing piece for the Celtics down the stretch.

176
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've played him a ton, and they played him

177
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: even more because Jalen Brown gott and foul trouble in

178
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: the first half. He played thirty one minutes the most

179
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: of his finals run here, and you can tell that

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: he's injured even when he was quote unquote healthy playing

181
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: this game, because he would sprint during plays and then

182
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: he would just be lumbering just physically, just you could

183
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: see when he wasn't involved in the place, he's just

184
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: dragging his legs around. But thirty one minutes also, I

185
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: think was a big deal for him. They don't want

186
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: to play him that much, but they did because he

187
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: was such a presence. As you mentioned, Trey and yeah,

188
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: Wiggins was big on the other end, playing forty three minutes.

189
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: They needed every single one of his minutes. A big

190
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: reason why Wiggins played forty three minutes because Draymond Green

191
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: also was polled by Steve Kurse seven to thirty left

192
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: in this game. They sat him, and they did put

193
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: him back in with three forty left, but then they

194
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: immediately took him out defense for offense. They took him

195
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: out after one play. Now he did come back and

196
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: he did make a big offensive rebound and set up

197
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Kevon Looney for that layup Tray as he talked about,

198
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: which pushed the lead to five with the minute left.

199
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: So he did some things out there. But he'll definitely

200
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: be talking on the pod about that Steve Kerr pulling him,

201
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: and he'll be pretty I think a plotting of Steve Kerr.

202
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: But as you said, a weird Draymond game Tray.

203
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right. It was the right move to

204
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: pull Draymond when the Warriors needed, specifically offense. I think

205
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: he threw large stretches through most of the first half.

206
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: I thought he was maybe the worst player on the court.

207
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: There were so many times when he was just almost traveling,

208
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: just bringing the ball up the court, or you know,

209
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: there'll be a fifteen foot sag off of him and

210
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: it's hard for him to make a play in that scenario.

211
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: He didn't get his first basket until the second half

212
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: of the game. However, once the game gets close again,

213
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: after the Warriors are able to make the comeback they did,

214
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: then it is nice to be able to bring in

215
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: a defensive presence like Draymond Green, especially now that the

216
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Celtics are missing Robert Williams, so a little bit more

217
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: space for him to operate inside as well. Kerr played

218
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: Draymond's fourth quarter minutes pretty well. I thought, maybe not

219
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: the entirety of the game. Some of the rotations were

220
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: pretty hard, but at least in the fourth quarter, I

221
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: thought he nailed it. Dramond needed to set for a

222
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: little bit, and when he came back in he had

223
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: an impact.

224
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: I can.

225
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say it was a bit risky

226
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: at the start of that fourth quarter when he had

227
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: Steph off and it was be elites of time out there.

228
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: They managed to survive those minutes, but Try and I

229
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: were just like because Steph came in and Clay came

230
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: out and he stuck with be Elita there look, I

231
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: guess he's out there to try to spread the floor

232
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: and you just hope he only needs to hit one,

233
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: maybe two, and it's worth the move. But it just

234
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: felt like it was gambling. Were pretty high stakes, you know,

235
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: considering everything that we've seen, especially the fourth quarter where

236
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: the Celtics have dominated the Warriors. We know the Warriors

237
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: dominate the third quarter. Wasn't you know, really the case

238
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: there tonight. But Steve Kerk took a risk paid off.

239
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: But you know, look he mixed things up at the

240
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: start of the game as well by starting Otto porter

241
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: and keeping Kevon Looney on the bench there. It didn't

242
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: go with it for all that long, and I was

243
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: just like, look, he took one shot and he basically

244
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: got pulled after that, and it was like, you know,

245
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: I understand he wasn't giving them all that much, but

246
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: if you're going to make a move like that, I

247
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: just feel try to get him at least two or

248
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: three shots if you can get some sort of rhythm

249
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: or some sort of flow. Because the Warriors, despite this victory,

250
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: still I think a searching for someone who can just

251
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: you know, give them some minutes where Steph can sit

252
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: where it doesn't feel like it's panic time for Golden

253
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: State again. Jordan Pool comes out and we know he's

254
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: you know, he's quite active, he's trying to get things going,

255
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: but he certainly doesn't, you know, scare the Boston Celtics

256
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: like Steph Curry does when he's out on the court.

257
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Trey, you're yearning for Someonado Porter minutes. You thought that

258
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: would be a good move. Was What was your take

259
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: on those minutes and the move to go small by

260
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: Steve Kirk. We got a frozen Trey Kirby will will

261
00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: he Oh, there he is. We got a frozen Tray

262
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Herby in the middle of our screen right now, and

263
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: he peeked over Lee Ellis's shoulder, so we had double

264
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: tray Herby's one not in motion whatsoever. He's frozen.

265
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: I got we gotta take We're gotta take him out

266
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: of the stream here to see if he can pump

267
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 2: back in. So because you'll make no problem.

268
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: But as you're saying, Lee, yeah, they got the Warriors

269
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: got this win, and I still think, as you said,

270
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: they're still looking for their perfect lineup. It's it is

271
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: crazy to me that they got this win with Draymond

272
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Green and Otto Porter, two of their starters scoring two

273
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: points each out. That just doesn't really happen in an

274
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: NBA game, And in a finals game, Draymond Green had

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: the Ben Simmons on offense. He had a bit of

276
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: the yips. He didn't want to shoot. Uh there was

277
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: He missed his first three, then he tried to draw

278
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: a foul on Robert Williams on his second shot, and

279
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: then he got blocked by Horforde. Then he got blocked

280
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: by hat him and then he just didn't want to

281
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: shoot the rest of the way. Whenever he saw Robert

282
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Williams at the rim, tis it out and he did

283
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: make an impact on defense. But somehow there he go

284
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Trey Is back. Somehow they pull this out with that

285
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: happening because Cavan Ludi was big after bench he did

286
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: impact again.

287
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the thing is with Draymond It was

288
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: pretty funny. He went over to from downtown tonight that

289
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: second three. The crowd he had definitely bullied him into

290
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: taking that because he was wide open, passed, the ball

291
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: came back to him and he took the shot and

292
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: he missed it by a mile, and the fans really

293
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: felt that that was their intimidation and their pressure that

294
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: got to him. So that was pretty pretty hilarious to see.

295
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, look that lineup when you have Looney and

296
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: Draymond out there, Wiggins, Clay and Steph. If you've got

297
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: two guys who just cannot shoot and Draymond is refusing

298
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: to shoot, it just makes it, I think, tougher they

299
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: need to be to spread the flour. So again I

300
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: sort of understand why you try to have someone like

301
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: Otto port it out there for your offensive, but then

302
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: that does leave you exposed on the defensive end. But

303
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: also Robert Williams again, his status is going to be

304
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: so key for the Celtics for the remainder of this

305
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: series because when he is out there, he is so quick,

306
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: he's so athletic, he closes out fantastically well, and he

307
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: does seem to just be able to outjump and out

308
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: compete Draymond Green for some of those rebounds, and Draymond's

309
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: getting rarely really frustrated because he's sort of throwing his

310
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: arms around, he's throwing his body around trying to get

311
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: the possession. But Robert Williams is there and even a

312
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: couple of times when guys drive into the paint they're

313
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: changing their mind because they see his presence there and

314
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: they know he can get to almost any shot. So

315
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: he was huge for Boston, and his knee injury could

316
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: be somewhat of a deciding factor for the remainder of

317
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: this series.

318
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was big. I wonder how much the minutes

319
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: got up to him. As Trey mentioned the injury as well,

320
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Trey's Mike was injured there for a while. But you're back, baby, Yeah,

321
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm back for now.

322
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: I just like to keep gently reappearing in the stream

323
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: as you're talking about another center. The last time I

324
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: was in for like three seconds to hear some takes

325
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: on Kevon Looney. This time I come back to Robert Williams,

326
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna hop out one more time. We'll hear

327
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: about El Horford. You know, pretty quiet game, but he

328
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: did have a nice fourth quarter three pointer.

329
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, he had their only bucket the last

330
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: five seventeen there. But Kevon Looney, like, I don't know,

331
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't planned. I'm sure things just worked out so

332
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: well for Steve Kurt to put Looney on the bench,

333
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: and he comes in and was a beast in his

334
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes four offensive boards to go along with

335
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: his six points eleven boards overall plus twenty one. But

336
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: you can talk about al Horford if you want. Tree.

337
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: No, you're exactly right that Looney is the guy who

338
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: needs I mean, he needs to be in quite a

339
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: bit for the Warriors. I feel at this point he's

340
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: indispensable to their best lineups, and Wiggins is indispensable to

341
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: their best lineups. Sometimes Draymond is going to be the

342
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: guy who's having an impact. Certainly when you win, to

343
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: go defensively that's the case. Maybe Otto Porter will get

344
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: some stretch minutes. And we even saw, like you guys

345
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: were saying, we saw some be elitza minutes, which I

346
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 3: thought was maybe maybe a smart move by Steve Kerr

347
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: because it took the Celtics out of their offense. Because

348
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 3: once Tatum saw the elites out there, he's like, I'm

349
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: gonna go at him every single time. And be Alitz

350
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 3: is not necessarily a good defender, but it took the

351
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 3: Celtics out of the actions that they had been running

352
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: the entire night, and.

353
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: He whoa, and he's gone, well, he's going to plane

354
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: to catch early in the morning. Maybe that's where he's

355
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: going to the airport. But I will, will, I will.

356
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: I'd point out one more thing, you know, particularly in

357
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: game three, the Celtics really went at Steph Curry and

358
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: he picked up another early foul about a minute ten

359
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: seconds into the game. But they didn't seem to be

360
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: quite as aggressive as they were, and I think retiring.

361
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: For the Nate.

362
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: Okay, don't forget to vote on the finals MVP. I'll

363
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: make sure to get the car ready for it.

364
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks man? What a what a wild We're ten

365
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: feet away from each other. I don't know how my

366
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: WiFi is working in his isn't, but that's the case anyway.

367
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, what a reversal. What you turn the tables?

368
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Lee Alis's players working better than other people I know?

369
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah they did they not go at Steph?

370
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Was that the problem?

371
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 2: It felt like they were just a lot less aggressive

372
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: attacking the paint tonight than they were in game three.

373
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: A couple of times I felt Jaylen Brown could have

374
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: driven in a little bit more. Jason Taitan the same,

375
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: and they either settled or they just sort of pulled

376
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: the brakes a little bit and went for a mid

377
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: ranger or a three point or something.

378
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: Like that.

379
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: So it just wasn't really the same aggressive mindset that

380
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: they had. And again when Steph picks up that first fount.

381
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: Now again, I think the referees did a good job tonight.

382
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: I thought there was a lot of contact. It felt

383
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: very physical, certainly from where I was watching it from,

384
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 2: but they didn't overcall the game. I think they allowed

385
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: the players to sort of, you know, bang a little

386
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 2: and get a bit physical with each other, but it

387
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 2: never really crossed the line. I know Draymond as always

388
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: got into it a little bit there with Jason Tatum

389
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: at one point, But overall, you know, I think the

390
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: Celtics are probably going to look at game three and say, hey,

391
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: that was one because we just attacked and attacked and attacked.

392
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: In Game four, I think they got They just sort

393
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: of got into a position where they thought they were

394
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: comfortable and they didn't be weren't as aggressive going inside.

395
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Steph, as you said a minute ten, got his

396
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: first foul, was able to stay on the floor the

397
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: entire game played forty one minutes, only ended with three fouls,

398
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: while yeah, game three was a different story where he

399
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: had four fouls and was able to stay on the floor,

400
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: but as he said that the two fouls really meet

401
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: him play a little bit differently early, but in this

402
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: one he hung in and was able to to kick.

403
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: But all the way through this game, there was one

404
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: play at the end Lee where Jalen Brown slipped guarding

405
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: Steph way away from the basket in you know the

406
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: in the Warriors end and Steph kind of had a

407
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: clean runway to the hoop and al Horford jumped up

408
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: pretty straight and was called for the foul, and because

409
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: there was forty eight seconds left, ima Udoka used his

410
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: challenge there, but it wasn't overturned and Steph went to

411
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: the line and sealed it. It went from a five point

412
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: to a seven point lead. There any take on if

413
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: that was the right.

414
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: Call, Well, look, one of those plays as always where

415
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was an egregious foul, but there

416
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: was enough contact and there was enough movement there from

417
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: al Horford then to overturn a call. It has to

418
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: be evidence that was like a complete miss. Now whenever

419
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: this contact like that and Steph went down, and I

420
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: think the Celtics are calling for the sort of you know,

421
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: the push off there from Steph Curry, But we knew

422
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: I think certainly it probably was the same for people

423
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: watching on TV. Udoka was just like, well, I may

424
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: as well use my challenge on this one. I don't

425
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: really think he thought it was going to get overturned because,

426
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: as I say, Al from the replays that I saw

427
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: did jump and sort of move into Steph, and as

428
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: soon as his contact like that, the rest are just

429
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: not going to overturn that call. So not a real surprise,

430
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: it's more just like a play like that, it's you know,

431
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: Al was trying to protect that Steph did the right

432
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: thing by making sure there was contact. It goes to

433
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: the line and he closes out the game.

434
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did feel more when I watched it live

435
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: like it was there was more contact than it looked

436
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: like more of a foul than watching the replays. Like,

437
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: Al was pretty straight up. He wasn't entirely vertical. You

438
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: have to be going literally jumping straight up. You can't

439
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: jump from one point to another point and then be

440
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, erected by another guy like you can't. It

441
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: can't look like you're going vertical because you're getting hit.

442
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: So he wasn't entirely straight. But there's people in the

443
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: stream team getting pretty peeved that it should have been

444
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: a no call. We're seeing it all over the place.

445
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: I understand to some degree, but as you said, I

446
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: mean after it's called, and because Steph was going Steph

447
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: was going so quickly, and that's why I thought. I

448
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: guess he was going full speed, and I guess that's

449
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: why live it felt like a bit more of contact.

450
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I guess I just don't feel

451
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: bad for the Celtics not scoring those the last five

452
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: seventeen They had that one to three from Horford and

453
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I mean, that really doesn't change anything,

454
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: but I guess it was hard for the officials to

455
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: overturn that. As he said, so it goes from five

456
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: to seven there.

457
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again like the ref's going to look back

458
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: at that and say, sure, maybe the contact was marginal,

459
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: but that's a foul. We're just going to call that

460
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 2: a foul because there's no need for them to have

461
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: to change. It wasn't. It wasn't just a clear error

462
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: by the referees. It was one of those ones where

463
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: it's like that one gets called and I mean, we'll

464
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: all know. With the verticality rule, it is very, very tight.

465
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: It is very, very difficult to get consistent because almost

466
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: no guys when they jump up keep their entire hands

467
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: and arms straight the whole time. Often when there's contact,

468
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: one of those arms comes down and makes contact with

469
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: another part of the body. So I think that's it.

470
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: But again that at that point of the game it

471
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: was over anyway, so it wasn't. Really it would have

472
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: still taken in a miracle I think for the Celtics

473
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: to win it from there, even if that call does

474
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: get overturned.

475
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta agree. They just went so stagnant at

476
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: the end. I don't know how they went that stagnant

477
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: after getting solid performances a lot of the way in

478
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: terms of gay scoring, the fact that they had eighteen

479
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: plus from Tatum, Brown and Smart and Derek White chipping in,

480
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't a very efficient night. It's hard

481
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: to believe how they how they didn't close it out.

482
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it I don't know if it.

483
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 3: Was just not.

484
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: Being able to step up into the moment or just

485
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: not being able to execute down the stretch. I have

486
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: to go back and wipe.

487
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that's what it was. I

488
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: think the Celtics felt like, man, we're going to be

489
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: three one up here. All we've got to do is

490
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: make a few more baskets and we're home. And then

491
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: all of a sudden and again you notice it, I

492
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: think more so just being here where it's like, all

493
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: of a sudden, they're overpassing. You know, the way that

494
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 2: ball moves around has been incredible for Boston's offense ever

495
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: since they made that run, going back to the start

496
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: of January. But in this game late it was like, oh,

497
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: we don't want to No one wants to shoot it.

498
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: They all sort of want to pass and hope someone

499
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: else can shoot it. Our whole fired away. You know,

500
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: he hit one, but he was probably taking a few

501
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: too many there, so I think they just got a

502
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: little bit nervous, a little bit tight, and you know,

503
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: it ended up costing in the game. But overall, I mean,

504
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: we've seen this series neither team has really been not

505
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: a sort of grab hold of the other team for

506
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: too long. I mean too too. I think is a

507
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 2: very very fair reading of where this series is, and

508
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: it is wide open. You can make a very very

509
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: strong case for the team to win it from here.

510
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: But of course Game five will give us that that answer.

511
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you've got all the stats there, Tassy.

512
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: Whoever wins game five eighty two percent or something.

513
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: Like that, but I have the stats. Yeah. Well, hey, listen.

514
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: The Celtics, though, lost Game five against the Milwaukee Bucks

515
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: in Boston. Remember too, that was a huge game here.

516
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: They lost, but then they did come back to win

517
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: the series. So you know, whoever wins obviously going to

518
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 2: feel pretty good. But it certainly doesn't mean you're home either.

519
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: Speaking of home, it looked like you guys, we're feeling

520
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: at home getting that pregame lobster that we're showing here

521
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: on YouTube. That was my segue. I don't know we

522
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: met that in the media room. The Boston Celtics tweeted

523
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: out that there was lobster lobster rolls. Well you and

524
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: tree Hat.

525
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: No, no, I didn't see lobster rolls. It was literally

526
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: straight lobster. They had their lobster and crabcakes and all

527
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: the seafood mix of stuff there, so it was great.

528
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: I actually just had I think it was some chowder.

529
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: I think I had because honestly, eating lobster while you're

530
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 2: at a game, it's a little messy. It's a little

531
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: sloppy there, so you know, I didn't want to get

532
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: the big napkin and tuck it in there and start

533
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: getting the old you know, nutcracker and trying to crack

534
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: the lobster, so I passed on it. Just had a

535
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: little bit of soup and I think Trey had some crabcakes.

536
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: He looked like he was getting into something pretty good there.

537
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, but man, I mean that's that's the great

538
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: thing about traveling.

539
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 3: Rabcakes were very good.

540
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: There you go confirm.

541
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 3: So let's just remulod.

542
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Remulard sort this man. I tell her in

543
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: the last couple of days, big coffee man. Now all

544
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: of a sudden, now look at the look at the dinners.

545
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: He's having it NBA Media Finals. So it's been great.

546
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's uh, that's risky. I didn't think. I

547
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: didn't think that you'd just be having lobster. It's pretty

548
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: risky for the media going from lobster to their computers.

549
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: I agree, y, Yeah, imagine having lobster and then going

550
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: hold going to hold the top seventy five ball as

551
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: you guys got to you and Tree, this is a

552
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: great photo. Yeah, you got to hold the top that

553
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: let's see ball that everybody wants to hold.

554
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: The one, tassye, the one because a lady from NBA

555
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: NBA social media. She was walking around and she had

556
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: the ball out and I sort of stopped her and said, oh,

557
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: can I have? But I didn't realize she was filming

558
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: something as she was doing. I don't know if it

559
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: was a real or a story or what she was

560
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: doing there. And she walked off and I sort of

561
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: said to Trayler, oh damn. But then I also think, oh,

562
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: maybe I just like interrupted something she was doing. Anyway,

563
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: a few minutes later, she came back and she was

564
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: off the phone, and I just said to her, do

565
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: you mind if I and she's like, yeah, of course,

566
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: come along, Come along. So she let us take a

567
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: pick holding the ball there together and it was great.

568
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: You know.

569
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 2: I wanted to get some dribbles in but decided not

570
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: to watch this one.

571
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: So is it heavy?

572
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: No, No, it's not heavy. I mean, like, I don't

573
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: know if it's a real ball underneath it or not.

574
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't think it is. But no, it's not heavy.

575
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: But I think it would have just shattered if I

576
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: had started to try to try to bounce it between

577
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: my legs up here on the rafters. I mean, that

578
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: would have been a disaster for the ball, a disaster

579
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: for the NBA social media channel as well. The ball

580
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: just gets smashed.

581
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: Well, you got to hold. That's pretty freaking cool. Yeah,

582
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: So in the end we can start to wrap up here. Yeah,

583
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, just to give you some stats before we

584
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: hand out the Brown low Metal, because we're given points

585
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: to each players. How we're going to award our finals MVP.

586
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: We'll do it accumulatively, you know, we hand out the

587
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: three to two one and then we'll add it up

588
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: at the end here. But Steph a ridiculous night, carrying

589
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: everybody on his back, got his team to the fourth,

590
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: and then the Celtics focusing on him a little too

591
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: much and didn't rebound when Wiggins got in there, and

592
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: Clay came through. Steph with forty three on fourteen of

593
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: twenty six shooting, Clay finished with eighteen, Wiggins finished with seventeen,

594
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Pool with fourteen off the bench, and on the other side,

595
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Tatum the game high or team high should say twenty

596
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: three eight of twenty three shooting, though in Jalen Brown

597
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty one on nine of nineteen shooting and Marcus Smart

598
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 1: ended with eighteen, Derek White sixteen off the bench. So

599
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: give us your your numbers here who you handed out to? Lee?

600
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh and now Lee Ellis is frozen? What a delight?

601
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: What a delight? Spoke too soon about his great WiFi.

602
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Well I can start to give mine, and maybe Lee

603
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: will come back if he unfreezes. Steph Curry obviously gets

604
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: all three, gets all three. He should get first, second,

605
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: and third for what he did in this game. I

606
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: wonder now that if the series goes to six or seven,

607
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: even if the Warriors do lose, if the Celtics come back,

608
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if Steph gets some legitimate MVP votes even

609
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: if the Warriors are the loser. But either way, number

610
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: one tonight three votes. I think that's how this brown

611
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: low metal vote works. Now, I suppose, oh man, I

612
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: mean two and three is hard, So I'll go Wiggins.

613
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: I kind of just want to give all three to Steph.

614
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: But go Wiggins for his rebounding two big boards on

615
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: the offensive end a minute apart there to just keep

616
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: the Warriors afloat when it felt like the Celtics were

617
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna take over, when it felt like Marcus Smart went

618
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: to the line there for that and one after the

619
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. It felt like it was over. But Wiggins

620
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: two big offensive rebounds a minute apart in the fourth quarter,

621
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: part of his sixteen rebounds. Andrew Wiggins toughness. Baby, who

622
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: said that Andrew Wiggins wasn't tough. It's unbelievable. They won

623
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: this game. It's anyways, Wiggins had seventeen and sixteen and

624
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: the third one. I guess it goes to Clay for

625
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: that clutch three, because yeah, the Celtics were right there,

626
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: but do you give it to Tatum twenty three on

627
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: eight of twenty three shooting or Jalen Brown? So I'm

628
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: going all three Warriors. I don't know how this happened,

629
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: but they ended up finish the job there, just like

630
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to finish the job right here. The guys

631
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: wanted to get in their car and get back to

632
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: their hotel as their work is done. They're catching a

633
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: flight back early in the morning. We'll be back on Monday.

634
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: So make sure to rate the show, review the show,

635
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: share the show, fall the show, whatever happens on all

636
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: those platforms. Do what you gotta do. We'll be back

637
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: Monday for a full show and Spiro's Karadac. He's mentioning, No, Draymond,

638
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: are you kidding? Are you kidding? Draymond? You want to

639
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: include him in the top three. No, Draymond didn't want

640
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: to shoot this evening. Defensively, he did get the job

641
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: done nine board dat assists, but it's hard to it's

642
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: hard to include him in this Listen. I'm gonna listen

643
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: to the podcast. I will, I shall, but no, I

644
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: think he'll applaud Steve Kirk for taking him out for

645
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: those four four minutes from sem thirty to three thirty.

646
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: Then he was going offense defense there at the end.

647
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: I think what the NBA should do if teams want

648
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: to employ the Hockey rule where they changed live during

649
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: a shift and go offense defense. I want to see

650
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: that happen. It wouldn't work in the NBA. It would

651
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: be it would be very messy. But Draymond Green was

652
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: going was going offense defense. Steve Kerr was going offense

653
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: defense with Draymond Green. Kudos. They got the job done,

654
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: very very very well done by Steve Kerr and the Warriors. Honestly,

655
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 1: I can't believe. I can't believe how Steph carried that

656
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: team to the end and they got the job done. Anyways,

657
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: we'll be back Monday in studio to set up game five,

658
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,560
