Happy Mother's Day to all you 3 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: sexy moms out there. I'm jay E Skeets here with 4 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: the No Dunks team, part of the Athletic Network, and 5 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: uh yeah, we're back on a little Sunday morning. Got 6 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: to slip this in here. Take a second to like 7 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: the video, subscribe to No Dunks on YouTube if you 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: haven't done that already, and possibly hello to all the 9 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: weekend podcast listeners too. Yes, I think I've convinced JAD 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: to turn this into a podcast as well as the 11 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: live show. It's sort of like, why not During the 12 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: week there are what a thousand NBA podcasts to listen to, 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: but come the weekend, there's like three, not a whole 14 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: lot of content on the weekend. So I think JD 15 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: is flipping this weekend shift into a Sunday morning podcast. 16 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: So again, Hello, leave your boys a five star rating interview, 17 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: and subscribe on Apple or Spotify or wherever you listen 18 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: to No Dunk's quick apologies to everybody for not doing 19 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: a weekend shift yesterday on Saturday morning. I know I 20 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: definitely upset one particular Sixers fan that was here in 21 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: the stream team. I guess because I'm a Raptors fan, 22 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: I was avoiding talking about the Sixers win. Sorry, buddy, 23 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: that's not the case. I had a very long run 24 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: as part of marathon training to get in had to 25 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: do it this weekend. It was going to work better 26 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: on Saturday morning, so I was out there for a 27 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: while on the streets of Atlanta putting in a twenty 28 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: miler with my buddy Jared, So that sort of made 29 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: it difficult to do a morning weekend shift. And then 30 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: it was right into the birthday party, which if you 31 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: saw my Instagram account, there's some great footage of Leley 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: battling my buddy Grish in like a super I guess 33 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: slip and slide. They're racing in like lanes are all 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: soaked up close finish, but I think my buddy Grish 35 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: got him by a nose. Hi, He's got a big nose. Anyway, 36 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about Saturday's hoops and then we'll get a 37 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: tea up here. Sunday's games, including the Sixers trying to 38 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: tie up that series against Miami, and obviously we got 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: the Mads and Suns later, but Saturday, Bucks edge the 40 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: Celtics one O three, one to one after some crazy 41 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: final seconds. I think it's worth just going through the 42 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: ending of this game, which was drunk Boston trailed one 43 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: O three, one hundred when officials determined that Smart was 44 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: fouled by Drew Holiday just before attempting a potential tying 45 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: three pointer with four point six seconds left in this game. 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: So yeah, because it was a non shooting foul, Marcus 47 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: Smart goes to the line for just two free throw attempts, 48 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: and we'll get we'll get into, you know, whether or 49 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: not did the officials get that one wrong? You know, 50 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: the Celtics think so, Bucks don't. But Smart, you know, 51 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: ripping through. Was he just going straight up to shoot? 52 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: When's the foul? Cur all of this nonsense. But the 53 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: refs say, nope, it's only two because you're in the 54 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: bonus that you're going to the line. So they're down three. 55 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: You're in a bit of a predicament here. Smart makes 56 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,559 Speaker 1: the first free throw and then just just so smoothly, 57 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: like goes through his like normal routine that he's going 58 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: to just knock it down the second one and it'll 59 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: be a one point game. And then you'll get the 60 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: foul in the bus and you hope for a miracle, 61 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: but no intentionally misses it just perfectly. And then shit 62 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: got really crazy. Smart got to the ball first, got 63 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the rebound, he missed a put back attempt, I mean, 64 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: a really good look in that situation. Robert Williams comes 65 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: like charging towards the net. He sort of sends the 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: ball high up off the glass. Horford is on the 67 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: right side of the rim. He gets a great look 68 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: at a put back that somehow didn't drop. I like, 69 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: I've watched that one hundred times. I'm like, that one's 70 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: going in and it pops back out, goes back to Horford, 71 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: gets on rebound, goes up, banks it in and it 72 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: comes right after the buzzer. And I think even in 73 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: real time, it was like, ooh, that's a you know, 74 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: that's a split second too late. The lights are on 75 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: on the backboard. It doesn't count, but wild ending when 76 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: you think about it, that the Celtics there had let's 77 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: call it really sort of basically three chances in the 78 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: tip department to tie that thing up. Taking me back 79 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: flashbacks to the Yonis Valanciunis and Raptors Calves series where 80 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: in Game one they're missing missing Bunny after Bunny after Bunny. 81 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, the Bucks hold on to get the win. 82 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: So should it have been a shooting foul on Holiday? Well, 83 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: Udoka Celtics head coach says, it's a shot all right. 84 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: Smart's curling into his shot. He's getting feled on the 85 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: way up Holiday. He says, no, that's not a shooting motion. 86 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: He wasn't even facing the rim. I don't know, is 87 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: it because it's Smart sort of, you know, a guy 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: that can grift one of the best if it's somebody else, 89 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: is it if it's Tatum or Brown? They get in 90 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: that call? Yep, that's three. I sort of think. So 91 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: it's a bang bang call and it's one of these 92 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: weird ones. It's like, you know, the idea of looking 93 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: at it or whatever. It's like the call is in 94 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: favor of the Celtics. It's like, yeah, it's a foul. 95 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: Could you you got fouled? But they were like, wow, 96 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: we want the three, not the two. And then it's 97 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: a big you know, it's a who knows what happens too? 98 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: Just Smart hit all three? Does he force overtime? What 99 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: happens in overtime, but just a bizarrely officiated game three. 100 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: I will say that I know Celts and even Adoka 101 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: like really going in onto the officials, but are you 102 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: saying what was quote is basically I'm gonna teach my 103 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: guys to flop a little more, which is amazing. If 104 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: you see that headline with a photo of Marcus Smart, 105 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: it reads like an onion article. But let's get to 106 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: the what the positive sort of sort of what happened 107 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: in this game besides the officials, which we could like 108 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: just talk for hours about. I'm sure Big plays down 109 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: the stretch from the bucks, Johannis putting them ahead with 110 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: that Euro on Grant Williams, and Grant Williams has done 111 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: an incredible job on you, honest, all series long, but 112 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: he wasn't ready for that one. You know he's ready 113 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: to here comes you, honest. I'm ready to take the blow. 114 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a mountain of a man, I'm a wall 115 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: I barely bounce and Joannest just wisely what hits him 116 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: with the quick little euro step goes around him and 117 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: then finger rolls it in. It gets a kind bounce. 118 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean that thing could have popped out, but that 119 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: drops then Jannis. On the other end, you have Jaylen 120 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Brown and great defense mainly from the Honest, but there's 121 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: a lot of bodies in there. Brown misses that layup attempt. 122 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: And then on the other end, Holiday, i think, steps 123 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: right on Tatum's foot, hence why Tatum fell over. You know, 124 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: you know that happens. Somebody's foot gets stepped on and 125 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: you're going to tumble him down, but he gets that 126 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: little push shot there in the lane that made it 127 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: one oh three, one hundred, with like the eleven seconds 128 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: to go getting us to the whole Marcus Smart and 129 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: the intentionally misfree throw and just the craziness that happens there. 130 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: I mean, just it's just wild. Speaking of Holiday hitting 131 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: that shot, I'll get to you, Honest in a second. 132 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: Who was a monster in this which is why I 133 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: took the bucks in this series. If you listen to 134 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: our series preview and prediction, it was like, I'm just 135 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm at a point where I don't feel comfortable betting 136 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: against the Honest if he's in a series, and if 137 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: he's healthy, it's like he's that good. But anyway, Holiday, 138 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: he has continued to step up in Middleton's like absence 139 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: him not playing in this series. In Game three, Drew 140 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: Holiday attempted thirty shots. He scored twenty five points. So 141 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: not the most efficient afternoon we've ever seen, but that 142 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: aggression from Holiday I think is just so needed. He's 143 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: attempted over twenty shots in all three games of this series. 144 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: He scored total of sixty nine points. Very nice, and 145 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: just that key secondary scoring is just amazing. Obviously for 146 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: the Bucks to be up to one, I don't think 147 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: if Holiday's disaggressive, and even if he's taken a lot 148 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: of shots, I think it's needed a lot of the 149 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: time to obviously pair with Giannis what he did in 150 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: this game, because Yah on a sixteen for thirty on Saturday, 151 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: just doing work in the two point range, shot over 152 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: sixty two percent, fifteen to twenty four in that little area, 153 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: twelve boards, eight assists, I mean, forty two points. And 154 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: this was after two subpar games and a lot of 155 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: credit as we talked about after Game one and two, 156 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: to the Celtics defense of Grant Williams and Al Horford 157 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: and just throwing bodies at him. And you know, was 158 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: he honest going to figure it out? Yes? And he was. 159 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: He was huge in this game, and he is just 160 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: a wave. He just never quits. I've called him the 161 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: White Walker because he is a zombie like guy. He 162 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: just keeps coming and coming and coming. So huge, huge game. 163 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: And then you pair that on the other side of 164 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: the Celtics Jason Tatum having a brutal game and it's 165 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: almost amazing that it was this close. Right. Tatum shot 166 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: four to nineteen, miss six threes, finished with ten points, 167 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: his second worst field goal percentage of his playoff career. 168 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: You know, look, I think he's going to bounce back. 169 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: I remember he had a bad game against the Nets 170 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: in last year's playoffs, not the first round, but last 171 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: year's playoffs, if I remember correctly, he had that game 172 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: where he like scored under ten points and then he 173 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: came back to like a fifty piece and then I 174 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: think he had another forty point games stuff like that. 175 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: So will Tatum bounce back? Yeah, I believe so. But 176 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, he goes to the basket. It's the honest, 177 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: it's Brookes, Bobby, he gets a little separation, and you 178 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: have Wesley Matthews who's allowed to be physical with them. 179 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: There is no doubt. But you know, the Celtics were 180 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: pretty physical with the Nets and Kevin Durant in particular 181 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: in the first round. So you know, as long as 182 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: it's somewhat consistent hopefully from game to game, but from 183 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: series to series, and you can't really complain too much. 184 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,359 Speaker 1: But you just have like Wesley chasing them Drew Trailium 185 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: like they're just like they're they're hounding them. And he 186 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: talked about like he probably passed up some open looks 187 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: and he maybe should have taken and he just missed. 188 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: He missed some shots here four nineteen, like for a 189 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: guy that great, is wild but really entertaining game this series. 190 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: I had the Bucks in six. I mean a lot 191 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: of people had to go in seven, you know, be 192 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: it Celtics or Bucks or whatever. It sure feels that way. 193 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: It's it's uh. I think people have compared it to 194 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: like it feels like the Nicks and Pacers going out 195 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: of here. Just the physicality and you know from some 196 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: of these guys out there, but ye, honest, that euro 197 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: on Grand I can't get past that one. That then 198 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: led to the Drew Holiday play. Just like that, just 199 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: like right there, not many guys can do that, And 200 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: I think just like being so aware that the defender 201 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: and Grants probably gonna expect contact again, He's getting ready 202 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: and just sort of like a counter a little chess 203 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: move there to like, no, I'm going to drop the 204 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: euro right here in tight quarters too, and got by 205 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: and got the kind kind bounce. I haven't even really 206 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: looked at what you guys are saying here in the 207 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: stream team. Just to go back to I guess to 208 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: the officials. You know, so Celtics fans upset like Udoka 209 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: upset like Smart should have been shooting three. And there's 210 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: a couple other sort of bang bang plays down the stretch. 211 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: But they got a lot of free throw attempts Boston, 212 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: So I do not really think they like straight up 213 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: lost this game for anything like that. The Smart one, 214 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, let's hear what you guys think of the 215 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: stream team. Was he shooting, yeah, like, I mean, there's 216 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: only five seconds left, so he's probably shooting, but you know, 217 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: Smart senses the fouls coming, and then it's like, all right, 218 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: I mean we've seen this a million times before. It's like, 219 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's just unfortunate's happening at the end of 220 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: a playoff game. And what I mean we've seen it before, 221 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, the idea of like well let me, let 222 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: me throw my arms out there and like rip through 223 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: and hopefully sell that I was shooting. But again, there's 224 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: like five seconds left, he's he's probably shooting. So people 225 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: seem a little conflicted here in the in the stream 226 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: team not shooting, trying to buy it NW foul before 227 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: he's into his actual shooting motion. I'm reading comments here, 228 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: so hell of. I mean what it would have been? 229 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Almost Oh, I wish you like in a way Smart, 230 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: especially Smart pulls off the intentional missing and then had scored. 231 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: That would have been That would have been amazing. Because 232 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: we always talk about on the show more guys in 233 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: the league need to practice intentionally missed free throws, and 234 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: we always bring up the story. We talked to Bury 235 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: about this once and he says, like him and Genobili 236 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: used to in in practice practice missing free throws like 237 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: on purpose because of these situations. They would like take 238 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: it next level, like you know, okay, I'm gonna miss it, 239 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: miss it left side, to have it bounce a particular way. 240 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: You know, Smart going more with like the bang off 241 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: the front, which I think we're seeing more of, and 242 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: I think, you know, is probably like, well it's tough. 243 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: Is like, are you better off getting an offensive rebound 244 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: by hammering it off the front, which is probably much 245 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: more difficult to actually get the time like the perfect 246 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: location down or is it like a crazy like lob 247 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: free throw attempt. That's what Bones always talked about, like 248 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: putting it super high to have it then go very 249 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: high off the bounce and then it's maybe like such 250 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty ball. Anyway, I find that so 251 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: fascinating the idea, Like these guys are so good. They're 252 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: talking about like Brent Barry and Genobili talking about like 253 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: where they're gonna and like battling each other in that. 254 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: I think that's that's pretty amazing. But anyway, that's my 255 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Love this series. Super excited to see 256 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: how it, you know, plays out. Game four, big game, 257 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: not pivotal, but big game for Boston. I don't think 258 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: you want to go down three to one. I wouldn't 259 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: want to have to beat the the Bucks in three 260 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: straight games, but I think Tatum's gonna bunce back. I 261 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: thought jal and Brown offensively is great, but man, when 262 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: he gets switched on, you honest, that's trouble. I really 263 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: just say, even Brown and Tatum when they get switched 264 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: on you, Honest, it's like doo small not strong enough. 265 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: But you know, Horford and Grant Williams and time Lord 266 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: helping out have done an admirable job on a guy 267 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: that is just at times appears unstoppable. Love it. I'm pumped. 268 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's move over to the other game. We've 269 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: got more I guess officiating in a way to talk about. 270 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: We had the Splash Brothers leading the Warriors past Jammeran 271 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: and the great 's one forty two to one twelve. Yeah, 272 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: this one got out of hand. This is a close 273 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: game at the half. Yeah, Jummern hitting that unbelievable. Uh 274 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: what you call it? I guess lay up in traffic 275 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: where you like jumped, felt like from the free throw 276 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: line and just hung in the air for a little while. 277 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: It's like that State Farm commercial where Chris Paul is it. 278 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: It's doing the photo shoot. It's Chris Paul. I've only 279 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: seen the commercial about ten million times at this point, 280 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: where he's just hanging in the air. That's what John did, 281 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: basically took the contact just hung Hong kung then scored 282 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: and then hits the three pointer at the end of 283 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: the half, and it's like, you know, he's sprinting back 284 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: to the locker room, like yelling at his coach, like 285 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: let's go, We're in this game. But then the Warriors 286 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: started the half I think, on a ten ozer run 287 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: and it just got completely out of control. The Warriors 288 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: stopped turning the ball over and couldn't miss a shot. 289 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: Unbelievable stat from this one Warriors there's splits were sixty 290 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: three point one from the floor, fifty three point one 291 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: from deep, ninety point five from the line. So field goal, 292 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: three point free throw percentage in game three of a 293 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: playoff game. So like, forget the fifty to forty ninety club. 294 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: The Warriors I think became the second team in NBA 295 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,479 Speaker 1: postseason history to hit sixty to fifty ninety that threshold. 296 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: And well that one Philly fan in here will be 297 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: very happy to know that the two thousand and one 298 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: seventy six ers a team you do not think of it, 299 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: think about as a you know, an offensive juggernaut, yeah, 300 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: I ever said, but not a lot else, not a 301 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: lot else in you know, de Kembe and what Eric 302 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: snow and stuff like that, maybe McKee and stuff. But 303 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: the Sixers in two thousand and one did it in 304 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: Game five of the Eastern Conference semifinals against my Toronto Raptors. 305 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: I actually remember that game. But those are crazy marks 306 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: sixty plus fifty plus ninety plus. But anyway, let's get 307 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: to the Jamarant injury. I won't go fifteen minutes on this, 308 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: I promise, but he re injures his troublesome we can 309 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: call it that right knee. This is the knee that 310 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: I kept him out near the end of the season 311 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: there for nine or ten games. But Wiggins Pool, they're 312 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: trapping John Morant and then Pool in fighting for a 313 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: loose ball and getting on the trap grabbing for the ball, 314 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: grabs I mean he does. He grabs or puts his hand, 315 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: of course on Morant's knees. He appears to pull it 316 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: back a little bit and John ran gets injured. Now 317 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people pointing out was he injured in 318 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: contesting place three to begin the second half? I think 319 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: Hollinger had a clip. Was he injured in landing awkwardly 320 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: going to the rim? Did all of this add up? 321 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: And then a little pressure there from Pool you know, 322 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: really reaggravate that knee. Probably it looks like it when 323 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: you watch these other clips. He comes up a tiny 324 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: bit hobbling, but he goes to the bench. He's pissed. 325 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I got it in the thumbnail here, he's 326 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: like grabbing at his shorts. Hopefully it is nothing serious. 327 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: No and wants to see John Morant miss extended time 328 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: here in a postseason run when it's a two to 329 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: one series and you know, you win Game four and 330 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: it's a best of three and you've got home curve 331 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: and no one wants to see it. So hopefully, hopefully, 332 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: hopefully this is nothing super serious. But John Morant, you know, 333 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: it probably makes this into a bigger story after the game, 334 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: taking to social media tweeting Pool broke the code. He's 335 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: alluding to Kerr's comments about the whole Dylan Brooks play. 336 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: I think John Moran has since tweet deleted the tweet. 337 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: You know, Pools asked about he says, a basketball play. 338 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hurt the guy. My take on 339 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: all of this is definitely not intentionally trying to yank 340 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: at John Moran's knee at all. I think what's happened 341 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: here with this super slow mo is. People watch it 342 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: and they treat the damn slow mo clip like it's 343 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: game speed, and then like, because it's so slow mo, 344 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, well, there's the seconds where I can 345 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: assign some malicious intent. It's like you're watching a fucking 346 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: slow mo clip. That's not what's going on. This is 347 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: bang bang bang bang bang. It's like he is grabbing 348 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: for a loose ball. And I don't even really think 349 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: this probably did it, I did it, tweak it maybe, 350 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: I guess. But all of these injuries, most of them, 351 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: there are ones where you're like, what are you doing, 352 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks. I think we all agreed what I mean, 353 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: what are you doing? I get it, you're trying to 354 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: stop an easy lay up, but very very dangerous when 355 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: a guy's in the air, and it's like everybody just agree. 356 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, that's that's stupid, man. And then on 357 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: top of that, Gary Payton gets injured and it's like 358 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: he gets the game suspension, Brooks does, I was actually surprised. 359 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: I didn't even think he was going to get a 360 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: Game three suspension because he missed most basically the entirety 361 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: of Game two. But they did, and no one was 362 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: like what what? What? No? But I will say like 363 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: the stuff like Draymond hitting a guy in the face, 364 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: this this play. I mean we there's the clip going around, 365 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, Bane diving for who was it on pool? 366 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: I think sort of like the ball is loose all 367 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: of these people, especially on Twitter where you see most 368 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: of it. Do you guys play basketball? Does anybody actually 369 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: play basketball that are all? Have you know a comment 370 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: on the game? And what I mean by that is 371 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: we can't freak out every time someone unfortunately gets injured. 372 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: It's like people forget or they think professional athletes faster, bigger, 373 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: stronger than basically ninety nine percent of people on the 374 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: planet playing a game that is physical that it's like 375 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: they think it no one should ever get injured, should 376 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: never happen, should never be like an accidental hit to 377 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: the face or a tweak of this, or stepping on 378 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: somebody's foot or someone's like, do you this happens when 379 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: you play basketball? Like it blows my mind, this idea 380 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: that guys get hurt playing a physical game. Wow. Yeah, 381 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: when we play pickup runs, somebody always gets hurt. It's 382 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: like people are maliciously going out there to try and 383 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: injury it. It's like, this shit happens. It sucks. Everybody 384 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: agrees with it sucks. I wish it was a video 385 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: game and we could turn the injury slider all the 386 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: way off. Sure, but that's not reality. It's just unfortunate. 387 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: It's just like I I don't know, I think we 388 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: go way too far with this sometimes and that's just 389 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: my opinion. And I sometimes wonder, like, again, all these people, 390 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: like have you played the game, Like do you play 391 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: basketball like with your friends? Five one five people get 392 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: hurt and again, these are like upper these are the 393 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: best athletes in the world. I mean, they are on 394 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: the shortlist of that. So it's sort of I'd be 395 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: weirder if nobody is getting injured or getting hit or 396 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: getting smacked or an arm like, you know, getting tweaked, 397 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: because like they're playing obviously just so physical. And look, 398 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying you can cross the line. I agree with that, 399 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: but I don't think this was in Jordan Pole's case 400 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: at all. I don't you know, I don't know why 401 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: he deleted the tweet. Don't love that. Look, we've talked 402 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: about that before. You know, if you got a tweet 403 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: leave the tweet unless you got a bad spelling mistake. 404 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: That's the only time I'll delete a tweet. Can't sleep 405 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: at day with a bad spelling mistake. But you know, 406 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: kind of break the code seems a little much. Seems 407 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: a little much. I think, what's a bigger issue for 408 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. Why are they getting out rebounded for by 409 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: the Warriors? Think in every game they're doing work. There 410 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: fifty three to thirty seven in Game three, and then 411 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: the Warriors were living in the paint sixty two points, 412 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: and Curry was doing a lot of work attacking inside 413 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: and like his little floaters and layups. And then we 414 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: got to give some love to Otto put a man 415 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: forty nine points. The Warriors about scored the Grizzlies in 416 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: Otto Man's sixty eight minutes. I'll say that again. Warriors 417 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: about scored the Grizzlies by forty nine points Porters sixty 418 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: eight minutes. Best mark in this series, that is, he's 419 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: been amazing defensively, giving him something on the offensive end. 420 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: And I mean Kerr surprising a lot of people starting 421 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: kaminga in Game three? There does he does he start Porter? 422 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: He is playing so well. I mean, I guess it. 423 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: You know, it helps when you look like wil Chamberlain 424 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: or Lionel Richie take your pick there with auto Porter. 425 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: But he is he has been amazing, So I wonder 426 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: what Kerr will do. He's obviously h he hasn't had 427 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: a problem switching up the starting lineup, you know, cominga again. 428 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: I was surprised by that. I was like, whoa, we're 429 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: gonna I thought maybe Kaminga look looked a little out 430 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: of his league because he's nineteen years old, and that 431 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: was maybe maybe a lot here in a in a 432 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: big game three, But uh, you know, I guess you 433 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: got auto Porter coming in and playing well, you're fine, 434 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: So yeah again, And this one turned into a blow 435 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: and really really, you know, Warriors up huge. Excuse me, 436 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: Grizzly's up huge in this They could miss a three. 437 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: Warriors couldn't stop turning the ball over. You knew that 438 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: was going to like dissipate a little bit on both sides. 439 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Then it turned into a game. Warriors had that lead, 440 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: like I said, but John Maria gave them a spark 441 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: those two buckets at the end of the half, and 442 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, this is gonna be 443 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: a great second half and then Warriors did their thing 444 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: as they tend to do in a third quarter. And 445 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: even in this series, if I if I remember correctly, 446 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: have sort of sort of dominated these third quarters in 447 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: these games, and then it was often running Klay Thompson 448 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: getting it go into Warriors. Fans are gonna be very 449 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: happy about that to see him sort of like you know, 450 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: unlocked a little bit and just back to more Clay 451 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: and I think Kurt talked about just like the more 452 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: just in rhythm shots probably not forcing as much, and 453 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: then and then when Clay's got to go in, they 454 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: are a dangerous, dangerous team. So also a super exciting series. 455 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: This is just like now where are we at? We're 456 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: at two to one in all four series? Uh, which 457 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: is awesome because it means game fours both to today 458 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: and I'll show you guys the schedule here if you're 459 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: joining me on YouTube two today and then two on 460 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Monday night. These two that happened last night. Just game 461 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: fours are just I love it because it's like if 462 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's not over if you're down through one, 463 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: but it's like the odds are against you. So just 464 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: that huge, huge game four for that team trailing. So 465 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: here it is today. We've got Suns MAVs. That is 466 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: the afternoon game at three thirty pm Eastern on ESPN, 467 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: and then we have the Heat and the Sixers.

This F one race on 471 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: probably around three thirty or four right Eastern time. My 472 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: wife and I are going to be battling for control 473 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: of the main television in the house. Norah loves the 474 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: F one. I'm gonna be watching the Miami Grand Prix 475 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: when I got this. Uh you know, Soun's mask game 476 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: to watch here. I can't wait to see how that 477 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: goes down. I assume she'll be watching it, and I'll 478 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: be watching on the on the other television or just 479 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: on my computer. You guys are watching games on your computer. 480 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: I actually do it a lot. Mix making notes when 481 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm watching games pretty easy. You just got it right there, 482 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: just the bang bang. I don't mind that. Uh, So 483 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: we will see. Joel wants to know if these are 484 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: pivotal game for us. They are not. They are not. 485 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: I like to keep the pivotals to the game fives 486 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: in a two two series. I think it's uh, you know, 487 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: could you could you convince me it's a pivotal game 488 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: for the team's trailing two one in series. Maybe I 489 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: just think it's a big Dare I say almost must win. 490 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: I would say must win in the mask case. No, 491 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, must must win in the MAS and 492 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: the Sixers to win the series. Right. The Sixers one's 493 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: interesting because you got to be back and so if 494 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: you continues to play for the rest of the series, 495 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: then that is like obviously just complete game changers. He's 496 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: playing in games one or two, then maybe we have 497 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: a different series. But yeah, big big, big, big, big, big, 498 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: big games for Dallas and Philadelphia to try and even 499 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: up those series. Well, anyway, that's all I got, guys. 500 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: I don't think I have anything else to share with 501 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: you.

Took a bunch of 515 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: footage of Lee again racing my buddy Grish at this 516 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: birthday party yesterday and this giant slipping slide sort of 517 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: thing they had like a best out of three race. 518 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: There was some controversy. Was one of the lanes faster 519 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: than the other? Was it more? Did you have more bubbles? 520 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: Were you quicker? Just streamlined down that one. Took some 521 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: hilarious photos of my buddy Grish and Leley battling. You know, 522 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: it is great. You get a bunch of thirty kids, 523 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: like there's something like thirty kids, maybe not thirty, twenty 524 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: kids at this party, just getting getting hyped. It was 525 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: more entertaining than the Kentucky Derby. The race between Natalie. No, 526 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't what a win. Anybody make big money on 527 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: that race yesterday? What a rich Strike is? What it was? 528 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: Eighty to one odds? Here, I just actually pissed me off. 529 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't follow horse racing, but like probably 530 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: most of you, maybe I'll watch a Kentucky Derby if 531 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: it's on, or the Preakness or whatever the big ones. 532 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: But I was upset when I saw who won. And 533 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: this is I'm not making this up. My favorite number 534 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: is twenty one, and that the horse that won, Rich 535 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: Strike was number twenty one. I was just like, man, 536 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: if I was at the track, I'm putting, I'm guaranteeing 537 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: putting money, a little bit of money on my favorite 538 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: number to win. And uh yeah eighty to one. Huh 539 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: could have made some coin on that one. I did 540 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: see the replay of the like the drone shot or 541 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: the aerial shot of rich Strike bouncing around the back 542 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: making some moves. That was pretty slick. Look cool way 543 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: to go horse, and the horse got upset with that 544 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: guy trying to wrangle Why twenty one? I don't know 545 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: why twenty one? Oh?
