Speaker 1: The volume. What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond
Speaker 1: Green Show. We are fucking live on AMP after a
Speaker 1: huge Warriors win. Serious side to the two dub nation
Speaker 1: is feeling good. I'm feeling good. For those of you
Speaker 1: who are tapped in. We will take some callers at
Speaker 1: the end of the show, so stay tuned for that.
Speaker 2: But let's get into this game. Man. Number one is
Speaker 2: five o'clock. It's light outside.
Speaker 1: That always feel good to finish the game and still
Speaker 1: have a day left to spend with your family, your friends,
Speaker 1: your loved ones. That's always beautiful. So I'm excited. I
Speaker 1: feel great. Let's talk about it. The Warriors beat the
Speaker 1: Kings one twenty six to one five after a great
Speaker 1: second half, a game we probably should have handled pretty easily.
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the game, we had a couple mishaps.
Speaker 1: Steph called the time out technical foul. They make the shot,
Speaker 1: Daron Foss hits the three four point swing.
Speaker 2: We're up one twenty seven seconds to go.
Speaker 1: Before everybody jumps to say, oh man, Steph should have
Speaker 1: done this, that's on me. After you outlet the ball,
Speaker 1: if someone has to trail to play, you have to
Speaker 1: trail to play because if all else feils and the
Speaker 1: guy get trapped in that situation, he needs to be
Speaker 1: able to look back and just throw a simple outlet
Speaker 1: behind the place. So that's on me. I'm always the
Speaker 1: trailer in those situations. And I did he do on
Speaker 1: up the floor as if the game was over running
Speaker 1: with my back turn and we just can't leave him
Speaker 1: in that situation.
Speaker 2: Also on me, I am.
Speaker 1: Always the guy who's like, yo, we have no time
Speaker 1: outs left, and you know I didn't do that, and
Speaker 1: so everyone didn't know that we didn't have any timeouse left.
Speaker 1: That's on me because I knew right away as soon
Speaker 1: as we took the time out and challenge the call,
Speaker 1: I knew that was our last time out.
Speaker 2: We lost it.
Speaker 1: I should be telling everyone in the huddle we don't
Speaker 1: have timeouts coming out of the huddle, guys, we don't
Speaker 1: have timeouts.
Speaker 2: So that's on me.
Speaker 1: And then Steph had the ball with you know, twenty
Speaker 1: seven seconds left and starting and it's a three second
Speaker 1: shot clock in game clock difference, and he shot it early.
Speaker 1: Also on me, because you just leave him kind of
Speaker 1: under pressure up there, and after you call that time out,
Speaker 1: which I've done before.
Speaker 2: You're a rattle. You're a little rattled, and not rattled in.
Speaker 1: The sense of like you're afraid, but you're just thrown
Speaker 1: off because it's like a brain farting.
Speaker 2: You're like, how in the hell did I do that?
Speaker 1: And so to move on from that play, like I
Speaker 1: actually kept telling Steph like, yo, we're good, let's go.
Speaker 1: But I know he's a little in his head after that.
Speaker 1: So even to come relieve the pressure, get him the
Speaker 1: ball with a live dribble, and now he can you know,
Speaker 1: handle the pressure and go but and go do what
Speaker 1: he does. But in that situation, you I also didn't
Speaker 1: want to bring a second guy and he get trapped,
Speaker 1: we possibly turned the ball over, so you just kind
Speaker 1: of let him do what he do. And you know,
Speaker 1: also had a wide open floated from the free throw
Speaker 1: line that he probably makes eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: So I'm also living with that shot, sou before everybody
Speaker 1: jump on all, STEPH did this train? STEPH did that
Speaker 1: certain Steph had thirty two, five and four and helped
Speaker 1: us win and led us to a win. So let's
Speaker 1: that's the train unrolling on five to eleven from three.
Speaker 2: That was huge.
Speaker 1: Clay also had a big game twenty six from Clay.
Speaker 1: JP had a big game with twenty two. Loom did
Speaker 1: what Loune does fourteen boards, six assists, yours truly twelve
Speaker 1: ten and seven on three fourteen shooting with seven miss layups.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: So I knew coming into this game my spots where
Speaker 1: I needed to be, you know what would be open.
Speaker 1: I was very aware and it was there, and I
Speaker 1: just missed the layups. So looking forward to making those
Speaker 1: next time. But in saying that, I felt great. It's
Speaker 1: great to be back out there on the floor with
Speaker 1: the guys. There was a critical moment there where JP
Speaker 1: took over the game. He got a layup, he got
Speaker 1: to the free throw line a few times. I had
Speaker 1: an am one and they were trying to make a
Speaker 1: run and he just kept breaking their run. He obviously
Speaker 1: finished twenty two points, but like forget the twenty two
Speaker 1: points to have those timely buckets and control the pace
Speaker 1: of the game. When he was controlling the pace of
Speaker 1: the game and not allowing those guys to.
Speaker 2: Go on a run, I thought it was huge, huge
Speaker 2: step by Jordan.
Speaker 1: He found something he liked in the defense and he
Speaker 1: got downhill and it was absolutely beautiful to watch because
Speaker 1: it came at a time.
Speaker 2: In the game where we really needed it.
Speaker 1: And to control the game like that, that's just steps
Speaker 1: in the right direction for Jordan, and to know that
Speaker 1: he's doing that and he's taking those steps, that's only
Speaker 1: going to continue to help this team grow. Dearon Fox
Speaker 1: thirty eight, nine to five, another great game in another
Speaker 1: great fourth quarter. You know at this point, obviously you
Speaker 1: keep making adjustments on Fox. I e the one we
Speaker 1: made where we put me on Fox there and you know,
Speaker 1: started just switch the lineup, switched the look, gave him
Speaker 1: a different look. With a guy like that, he's an
Speaker 1: incredible player, man, and you just can't give him a
Speaker 1: study diet of anything. Eventually, great guys, great players like that,
Speaker 1: when you give them a study diet of anything, they
Speaker 1: figure it out. And so I thought the adjustment to
Speaker 1: switch it up on him a little bit there was
Speaker 1: great by coach, and I thought he played dividends. Obviously
Speaker 1: Fox had it on that last play, Me and Steph switched,
Speaker 1: I went back to trapping. He kicked at the Harrison Barnes,
Speaker 1: who missed the three number one clutch Player of the
Speaker 1: Year we know what Fox does in that situation. So
Speaker 1: most importantly, you can't let him beat you there, which
Speaker 1: was my mindset. He got the ball, he's looking to
Speaker 1: make his move. Try to get the ball out of
Speaker 1: his hands, because you don't just win Clutch Player of
Speaker 1: the Year being average number one. You've been in those situations.
Speaker 1: You've been in enough of those situations to show what
Speaker 1: you do in those situations. And he got an award
Speaker 1: that was well deserved. And so I know in that
Speaker 1: situation what he's trying to get to, and I.
Speaker 2: Came to help.
Speaker 1: Just as sure as I came to help, steph reacted
Speaker 1: immediately went and got a contest on Harrison's shot, and
Speaker 1: Harrison missed. Harrison was ready to call us every B
Speaker 1: word and uh three or four word in the book
Speaker 1: if he made that shot.
Speaker 2: As we all know, it was great to see him
Speaker 2: miss it.
Speaker 1: But even if he does make that shot, in that situation,
Speaker 1: you have to make someone else beat you. And so
Speaker 1: we did that and we were successful with that because we,
Speaker 1: like I said, you know what the outcome coming into
Speaker 1: this game. I came off the bench, I see that
Speaker 1: that was made a very big deal. I thought that
Speaker 1: was a very simple thing. We won the game, it
Speaker 1: looked great, you do the same thing. I went to
Speaker 1: coach Kerr after the game and I went upstairs to
Speaker 1: his office and I spoke to him, and he was
Speaker 1: excited as hell, and I was excited, and I told
Speaker 1: him right then, I'm like, yo, coach, if I need
Speaker 1: to come off the bench, like fine, Like, I'll come
Speaker 1: off the bench, no problem. And he's like, oh, I
Speaker 1: could almost call him by surprise, Like he's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, we'll talk about it all right, like
Speaker 1: it caught him by surprise.
Speaker 2: But I think that was important.
Speaker 1: Number One, if you see something that you feel like worked,
Speaker 1: which obviously Loon worked.
Speaker 2: If you say you want to stay there, obviously I
Speaker 2: have the resume that I have.
Speaker 1: I've helped win four championships, seniority, all those things. The
Speaker 1: one thing that I didn't want to happen was like
Speaker 1: I come back and everybody's like, oh, this work. Well,
Speaker 1: Loon comes out the star lineup. That's bullshit, Like that's bullshit.
Speaker 1: You're an awful fucking teammate if that's what you think
Speaker 1: should happen. Like if they're like, oh, well we want
Speaker 1: to play for a guard, great, very simple answer. Come
Speaker 1: off the floor. Loony just had twenty rebounds, nine assists,
Speaker 1: dominated a game. You don't then go to him and say, hey,
Speaker 1: your reward is to come out of the start lineup. That's
Speaker 1: as a leader of a team, that's how you lose, guys.
Speaker 1: And so I thought it was very important for me
Speaker 1: to go to Coach and say, listen, I just watched
Speaker 1: this game.
Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons Coach was called off
Speaker 1: garden and throw them back or take him back, is
Speaker 1: because he hadn't watched the film. And so when you
Speaker 1: watch the film, like when you're in these games, man,
Speaker 1: you're in it, Like there's things that you can miss.
Speaker 1: When you go back and watch the film, you have
Speaker 1: a totally different perspective.
Speaker 2: Well, I watched the film live.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that game cheering because we made a
Speaker 1: shot or like you know any fan would do. I
Speaker 1: watched that game lock the hell in because I was
Speaker 1: trying to text things and be as involved in the
Speaker 1: game as I could possibly be. And so once the
Speaker 1: game ended, I had already watched the film. Coach hadn't
Speaker 1: watched the film yet. I saw what worked, and so
Speaker 1: it's very evident to me that you go to coaching,
Speaker 1: you let him know that if you need to come
Speaker 1: off the bench, it's okay. That can be a sticky situation.
Speaker 1: Guy eleven years in All Star, all of these things
Speaker 1: and you that can be a very sticky situation. I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure it was as less sticky as
Speaker 1: it possibly can be. Coach, if I need to come
Speaker 1: off the bench, great, Now, A lot of was made
Speaker 1: of all men. It was Draymond decision. I don't make decisions.
Speaker 1: Coach Kerr and the coaching staff makes decisions. I just
Speaker 1: give suggestions. Those suggestions are those suggestions are very well
Speaker 1: heard because again the respect, and that's something that I appreciate.
Speaker 1: But I just made the suggestion. Coach called me a
Speaker 1: day later and said, all right, this is what we're doing.
Speaker 1: But you haven't. You haven't come off the bench in
Speaker 1: nine years. How are you in a playoff game? How
Speaker 1: are you gonna feel about that? I said, well, coach
Speaker 1: number one, who fucking cares? Who cares? How I feel
Speaker 1: about that? Doesn't matter. Feelings don't matter. You don't have
Speaker 1: time for feelings. In the playoffs. You get caught in
Speaker 1: your feelings. You get caught on the boat to can Kun.
Speaker 1: So there's no time for feelings. That's number one, coach,
Speaker 1: I don't who cares how I feel? Number two, I
Speaker 1: feel great, I'm fine. I'll be ready to go when
Speaker 1: it's time for me to go in Now, coach, you know,
Speaker 1: something Stephan and I talked about was what the rotations
Speaker 1: are going to be with me coming off the bench.
Speaker 1: Rotations are important when you get in these playoffs. It's
Speaker 1: a chess match between the coaches what the rotations are
Speaker 1: going to be. So yeah, coach, I think we need
Speaker 1: to figure out the rotations. But as far as my
Speaker 1: feelings and how I feel about it, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Who cares if I even do care. And lastly, what's
Speaker 1: the other option? Coach, like Loon shouldn't be the one
Speaker 1: coming out of star lineup if that's the case.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, you're right, all right, Well I'll let
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: And then he called me back and he and oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm backtracking a little bit. And then you know,
Speaker 1: we had our conversation and he's like all right, and
Speaker 1: I can still hear a little skepticism in his voice.
Speaker 1: But then that's where you lead. You lead by example, right,
Speaker 1: Like they're going to watch your energy when it's announced
Speaker 1: to the team.
Speaker 2: They're going to watch how you're reacting.
Speaker 1: When they say first unit and you go to the
Speaker 1: sideline while we're walking through stuff and you're not in
Speaker 1: the first unit. Those are all things that they are
Speaker 1: going to look at. So I wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: that my I was upbeat, my demeanor, my r that
Speaker 1: I brought positive energy to the gym.
Speaker 2: But I thought that there was extremely important.
Speaker 1: That my that I led by example with my energy
Speaker 1: and you know, getting getting involved with the game planner
Speaker 1: and if I've seen something while we're walking through, to
Speaker 1: step out there and make those things because again, all
Speaker 1: of those things matters.
Speaker 2: And so that was it.
Speaker 1: We went with it. We won the game. Big question
Speaker 1: is do you keep coming off the bench. I don't
Speaker 1: know I started the second half, But what I will
Speaker 1: tell you is I don't care. Most important thing to
Speaker 1: me and to guys that's played here, which is why
Speaker 1: we've won championships, is winning and winning championships however you
Speaker 1: get there. However, that's I got benching in the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals last year during the game, taking out of the
Speaker 1: game bench sub them offense defense. I think I care,
Speaker 1: of course not. I don't care like I want to win.
Speaker 1: Whatever that is is what it is. And you don't
Speaker 1: get so big on yourself that you're now bigger than that.
Speaker 1: The moment you do kiss your team goodbye, that's it.
Speaker 1: I don't want that to be me. Uh. I returned
Speaker 1: to the game, and, in true Draymond fashion, received a
Speaker 1: tech about a minute or two of being in the game,
Speaker 1: if that long.
Speaker 2: Fox and I were going back back and forth.
Speaker 1: He was standing up for his guy, telling me it
Speaker 1: was BSI. Get up off the floor. Bro, Like, that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Get up off the floor. And we
Speaker 1: went back and forth. We had a little jawn. Quite frankly,
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, in that moment, I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: we got one tech.
Speaker 2: Cool, as long as he still talking.
Speaker 1: I'm still talking because guess what if we get another
Speaker 1: double tech, we're both thrown out of the game. I
Speaker 1: think my team can survive my absence better than the
Speaker 1: Kings can survive.
Speaker 2: Fox Is exit or an absence.
Speaker 1: My goal wasn't to get him ejected, because, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to get myself ejected. But I'm also
Speaker 1: not backing down or ducking no smoke ever, And I'm
Speaker 1: also going to be Draymond forever and ain't nothing changing
Speaker 1: that now of suspension, not a tech, it don't it
Speaker 1: don't change that. So I love you know, when gods
Speaker 1: step up for their guys and stand up for it.
Speaker 2: I always respect that. So it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say no hard feelings because it's a playoff seiling.
Speaker 1: It's a playoff series. All feelings are hard and that
Speaker 1: just see is what it is. But I respect that
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. Another question was what
Speaker 1: was going through my mind when Steph called the time out.
Speaker 1: I just stood there like this, like no timeouts, But
Speaker 1: like I went straight to him, like yo, it's cool.
Speaker 2: We move on.
Speaker 1: Like we're five points at the time, Like we move on,
Speaker 1: it's no big deal. What was going through my mind
Speaker 1: is trying to make sure he's good mentally because we
Speaker 1: still need to.
Speaker 2: Close out this game and we can't dwell on that.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 1: Now where I made a huge mistake is I let
Speaker 1: Fox get off of three and I have to force
Speaker 1: him to drive and make him play in the crowd.
Speaker 1: In that situation, you're up for you have to force
Speaker 1: him inside the three and then get a contest, live
Speaker 1: with the results as long as you're not giving up
Speaker 1: a three. I screwed that up, So now I gave
Speaker 1: up a three. I should have stayed behind Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: I also should have let everybody know we didn't have
Speaker 1: time outs. So then you know, you saw Bob Myers
Speaker 1: come talk to me after the game. What we were
Speaker 1: talking about. We were talking about how I can be
Speaker 1: better in that situation to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1: And you know, I take that on the chin and
Speaker 1: I'll be better. As one of our floor generals, I
Speaker 1: have to be up on top those things and can't
Speaker 1: allow that to happen.
Speaker 2: So I have to be better there. And that's that,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: So now you know, we go to Sack to to
Speaker 1: two on Wednesday looking to get a role win.
Speaker 2: It's very important. We got to win one to two
Speaker 2: on the road.
Speaker 1: Whether it's game five, you prefer to be game five,
Speaker 1: so there's no Game seven, but you get four opportunities
Speaker 1: to win one on the road. No one said which
Speaker 1: one it had to be. You just have to get one,
Speaker 1: So be looking forward to that, and you know, I
Speaker 1: think I think it's important that we go out and
Speaker 1: play with the same physicality but take it even up
Speaker 1: other levels, as it has to be higher when you
Speaker 1: go on the road. I also think we need to
Speaker 1: do a better job but keeping keeping Murray out of
Speaker 1: the series. He had a huge game last night, I
Speaker 1: mean last night, excuse me, a huge game today and
Speaker 1: we had done a good job on him. We let
Speaker 1: him get loose, so now you have to try to
Speaker 1: stop that. He's going to roll in going home super confident.
Speaker 1: We have to do what we can to try to
Speaker 1: neutralize him again. But he was great, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: that was exciting for them. So some of the keys
Speaker 1: for us. And yeah, looking forward to going to get
Speaker 1: game five. Before we get out of here, obviously, you
Speaker 1: know we'll take some questions. But just a couple updates.
Speaker 1: Knicks take a three to one lead over the Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: Cavaliers have been really struggling to score the basketball in
Speaker 1: this series. Tom Thibodeau defense, it's always been beautiful thing
Speaker 1: to watch and as a defensive guy, I can always appreciate,
Speaker 1: Like one thing you're gonna know is Tom Thibodeau coach.
Speaker 1: Team is going to defend, and they've been stifling the
Speaker 1: Calves offense and they're sitting there with a three to
Speaker 1: one lead.
Speaker 2: And whoa.
Speaker 1: I hope the NYPD have ten thousand officers ready to
Speaker 1: work the streets in New York if the Knicks closed
Speaker 1: this series out, because do y'all remember what they did
Speaker 1: when they want a playoff game and they shut the
Speaker 1: streets down, they win a series, man watch out in
Speaker 1: New York City. So NYPD, I hope you already and
Speaker 1: maybe need to call in the National Guard that day
Speaker 1: because them Knicks fan's gonna go crazy if they win
Speaker 1: that series. The Sons took a three to one lead
Speaker 1: over the Clippers without Kawhi Number one. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say shout out to Russell Westbrook because I'm so fucking
Speaker 1: tired of people disrespecting Russ. Like shot out Russ. He
Speaker 1: played good, like Russell Westbrook is an MVP. Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: is a perennial All Star. Russell Westbrook is a legend
Speaker 1: and a Hall of Famer. So I'm not about to
Speaker 1: do the whole shout out the Russ for going through
Speaker 1: and persevering like that's wha, that's whack. Stop disrespecting that man,
Speaker 1: like he not him and who he is. But Russ
Speaker 1: is having an incredible series. He's giving them chances in
Speaker 1: these games. Even without Kawhi. They're playing Marcus more because
Speaker 1: they need another guy that can create his own shot.
Speaker 1: That's been looking good for them. But ultimately with all
Speaker 1: Kawhi and PG, you just don't have enough. And it's
Speaker 1: unfortunate to see Kawhi going through what he's going through. Man,
Speaker 1: you just never really wish that on anyone. And you know,
Speaker 1: everyone always questions him and say this, say that he
Speaker 1: played forty two minutes and then couldn't play again. So
Speaker 1: for everyone who questioned, like, oh, he didn't play back
Speaker 1: to back, So like that, shit's real. We're competitors. Man,
Speaker 1: you don't get to this level by I'm cool. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just sit out, like you don't become who guys
Speaker 1: become with that mindset, Like it's real, and you get
Speaker 1: so much complaining about it. And so I wish Kawhi, Well,
Speaker 1: hope he's back out there for Game five. You always
Speaker 1: want to see guys have the opportunity to play on
Speaker 1: the bigger stage. He was dominating that series. But the
Speaker 1: book has been dominating. D Book is doing what and
Speaker 1: continuing to grow into the guy. And he's been a
Speaker 1: guy for long time, but there are steps and levels
Speaker 1: of being the guy and he continues to grow.
Speaker 2: Man, he had I know a game.
Speaker 1: Four three to one, Game three, the game where he
Speaker 1: had forty five one of the most and like seven
Speaker 1: assists or whatever, he had one of the most impressive.
Speaker 1: The most impressive thing about that game he has zero turnovers.
Speaker 1: You know how much you guy had a ball zero turnovers.
Speaker 1: You were precise with every decision. D Book playing some
Speaker 1: great basketball and I hope you all see the growth.
Speaker 1: The heat are up to to one no Jannis in
Speaker 1: the last two games, and Jimmy's doing what Jimmy does
Speaker 1: this time of year. Uh, send my love A lot
Speaker 1: of love to Victor Oladipo. Man a guy who continues
Speaker 1: to battle no matter what he's faced with. And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: you go through stuff like that, man, you lose the
Speaker 1: love for the game. And so you see this teller
Speaker 1: injury and I'm like, man, he's probably done. But then
Speaker 1: you tap back into and who Victor Oladipo is and
Speaker 1: why he became who he's become continues to fight. I
Speaker 1: expect to see him again, but I send my love
Speaker 1: to Vic Speedy recovery man. You never want to see that, especially,
Speaker 1: like I said, a guy who's battled through so much,
Speaker 1: so send my love. It's unfortunate, it's very unfortunate. But
Speaker 1: Heat has done what they needed to do. They got
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go up three to one in at Home.
Speaker 1: I expect Gianni's probably will play. If he doesn't play,
Speaker 1: I mean, if Yanni's doesn't play this game, I expect
Speaker 1: he'll probably need a surgery or something because Janna is all.
Speaker 1: Yanni's played hard and astar games man, so I you
Speaker 1: know fingers crossed. All is good, honest, And then, as
Speaker 1: we know, the Sixers close out the series versus the
Speaker 1: Nets with no NB. One of my friends asked me yesterday, like, yo,
Speaker 1: can MB's hurt now? So can they give still Boston
Speaker 1: around for their money? I said, listen, let's not do
Speaker 1: the MB's hurt thing, and like already dim the series
Speaker 1: from what it is. Yes, we hope Joel can play.
Speaker 1: We hope he's as healthy as he can be. But
Speaker 1: let's understand something. No one's one hundred percent healthy. No
Speaker 1: one's eighty five. No one's ninety five percent. No one's
Speaker 1: ninety percent healthy. That best maybe eighty five at this
Speaker 1: point in the year. Injuries are part of it, and
Speaker 1: so before we start lessening what someone else is.
Speaker 2: Doing, let's not do that.
Speaker 1: We do all hope to see Joel back out there, MVP.
Speaker 1: You want to see him get that opportunity, but let's
Speaker 1: not start minimizing another team and what they do because
Speaker 1: of injuries.
Speaker 2: That's why injuries are a part of it.
Speaker 1: Making it through this long ass season and then getting
Speaker 1: to the end being helped, that's a part of it.
Speaker 2: We lost it. We lost. We lost an NBA Finals
Speaker 2: because we didn't make it to the end. KD got hurt.
Speaker 2: Claiy go heart. That is a part of it.
Speaker 1: But guess what nobody want to hear that, oh we
Speaker 1: all lost, because now who cares?
Speaker 2: They won?
Speaker 1: So let's not do that before we get ahead of ourselves.
Speaker 1: But we are hoping and keeping our fingers crossed. The
Speaker 1: joke can go and the last, but not least the
Speaker 1: Lakers versus the Grizzlies. I thought the funniest thing in
Speaker 1: the world was that everybody thought Lebron was going to
Speaker 1: go out there and shoot thirty shots and try to
Speaker 1: get fifty points. You clearly don't know who Lebron James
Speaker 1: is if you thought that that's number one.
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 1: Lakers got up to a very fast start and the
Speaker 1: Grizzlies were playing uphill the entire game. And Lakers are
Speaker 1: doing what some expected. They're up to to one, got
Speaker 1: to close out at home and try to take a
Speaker 1: three to one lead, But they're playing as good as
Speaker 1: basketball as they've played and what everyone expected the way
Speaker 1: they closed out the year once they made the trade.
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis had a huge game. After having a.
Speaker 2: Uh, not so good game in game two, he had
Speaker 2: a huge Game three.
Speaker 1: He was aggressive as hell, and that's a tough Anthony
Speaker 1: tough excuse me, and aggressive Anthony Davis can be very
Speaker 1: tough to deal with. So looking forward to seeing that
Speaker 1: next game, seeing if the Lakers take a three to
Speaker 1: one lead or if the Grizzlies will tie it up
Speaker 1: to the two.
Speaker 2: John Moran had a really big game.
Speaker 1: And you applauded, but it's going to be very important
Speaker 1: that he also get other guys involved going into that
Speaker 1: next game, and unlike his guys, so we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens there. But before we get out of here, like
Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna toss it to Jackson so we
Speaker 1: can get a couple of questions from the callers.
Speaker 2: Jackson, who you got for me?
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a couple of questions, folks in the
Speaker 3: in the amp app hop in. I will accept a
Speaker 3: few callers. It's gonna be just like last time, limiting
Speaker 3: to just a question and then I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 3: boot you. But we appreciate anyone who wants to camp in.
Speaker 3: All right, we got our first caller at Cheddy Davis
Speaker 3: invite his cent except the invite and don't forget to
Speaker 3: unmute your mic Drake.
Speaker 1: My question is how is it.
Speaker 3: Going up against so bonus?
Speaker 2: To me, his style is similar to yours, So how
Speaker 2: is it going.
Speaker 1: Up against him? And like any such an intense series,
Speaker 1: I mean it's number one, he's very physical. He looks
Speaker 1: for contact, he's seeking contact, and so number one, you
Speaker 1: have to you have to brace yourself for his contact. Uh.
Speaker 2: And then you know he's a playmaker.
Speaker 1: They play a very similar out to us with him
Speaker 1: as the primary playmaker. And for me, it's just really
Speaker 1: meeting that force for force meeting his contact, meeting his pressure,
Speaker 1: trying to make those passing angles on them tough. Uh
Speaker 1: so he just can't get other guys involved. But overall,
Speaker 1: you know, I like a physical series. I like a
Speaker 1: physical matchup, so you know I love it perfect.
Speaker 3: Next one, we're gonna go at Prince from NY. Maybe
Speaker 3: we'll get some knicks talk. Let's see what we got
Speaker 3: here at Prince from and why accept the invite? Join
Speaker 3: the call, don't forget to unmeet your.
Speaker 2: Mic Hey, what's up, Draymond? What's up? Prince? Yes?
Speaker 3: Oh, what's up?
Speaker 2: What do you think you guys could have done better
Speaker 2: today to make the game, like, to seal the game up?
Speaker 1: I thought earlier on, I thought it was different at
Speaker 1: different times of the game. I thought early on what
Speaker 1: we could have done better was rebound to basketball. They
Speaker 1: really rebounded the basketball. Well, they're in the first half,
Speaker 1: and we didn't rebound so well offensively or defensively, so
Speaker 1: I thought we could have rebounded the ball better. And
Speaker 1: then late, you know, I think we were pretty good. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we had the time out thing and all of that.
Speaker 1: I personally, you know, even with the time out, I
Speaker 1: can't give up a three to Fox you have to
Speaker 1: get him inside the three point line or make him
Speaker 1: just take a heave because he's so hell bent on
Speaker 1: getting the three off. But I kind of backed up
Speaker 1: a little bit and tried to use my length. I
Speaker 1: can't give that up. I think if I don't give
Speaker 1: that three up, we closed the game out pretty well,
Speaker 1: even in spite of the time out.
Speaker 3: Woozy Invite said, don't forget to join the call and
Speaker 3: unmute your Micozy.
Speaker 2: I was good. Raymond.
Speaker 3: Series tied. How do you think things will go down
Speaker 3: with the I guess they called the pivotal game five?
Speaker 2: You think it goes seven and if Sack wins? Or
Speaker 2: do you think you guys will close it out in
Speaker 2: game six?
Speaker 1: If you guys win, I mean, I have no intentions
Speaker 1: on playing a seven game, so I you know, I
Speaker 1: think we definitely need to go take care of home court.
Speaker 1: You never want to get to ahead of yourself though,
Speaker 1: and say, I mean, excuse me, I take care of
Speaker 1: home court.
Speaker 2: We took care of home court, but go get a
Speaker 2: role win.
Speaker 1: You never you know, you never want to get too
Speaker 1: far ahead of your stuff and start talking about game
Speaker 1: six and or seven, So you just take it one
Speaker 1: game out of time, and we're going to take this
Speaker 1: one and try to go, you know, take game five
Speaker 1: on their home floor. You know, that's the most important
Speaker 1: thing in the series right now. And then if you
Speaker 1: go take game five, you definitely don't want to have
Speaker 1: to go win again there, and so you want to
Speaker 1: try to do all you can to close it out
Speaker 1: in six, but understanding that if that don't happen, you
Speaker 1: still got another game.
Speaker 2: But it's one game out of time for us.
Speaker 1: So the most important game right now is game five,
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, we.
Speaker 2: Go exceed their level of physicality.
Speaker 1: And you know, do take care of the ball, do
Speaker 1: all the things that we know takes to win games
Speaker 1: at this level.
Speaker 2: I think we'll be fine.
Speaker 3: Thanks everyone for calling in, Thanks everyone for hopping the chat.

Speaker 3: point later either this week or in the next week.
