30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: get right into it. We have so much NBA news

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: to talk about later in this pod. But last night's games,

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: my god, one of the more entertaining nights of the

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: NBA Playoffs so far. And we began with Jimmy Butler

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: and his fifty six point outburst as he just single

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: handedly wills the Heat to a Game four win to

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 3: give Miami a three to one series lead over Janni

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: and the Bucks. And we watched it on playback and

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm I can't stop thinking about this game. His takeover

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: here for this guy, Kimmy.

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: Butler, will to win. You said, it sounds cheesy, corny sometimes,

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: but absolutely that's what happened. It didn't just happen in

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I thought the first quarter was really

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: really important because the Bucks were showing the will to win.

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: It was a must win game for them. They came

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: out a double digit lead. Yiannis was looking very good.

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 1: That's what everybody was saying, oh, the back looks good,

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: broke with a monstrous block on Bam, and then Jimmy

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: decided we can't lose this game. We can't go back

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee too two. And in that first quarter. I

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: know everybody focusing on the fourth, but in that first

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: he went and dunked right through Jannistetkoumpo. He dunked or

52
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: he scored around Jannistecktkupo, and then jumper after jumper after jumper.

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: He took eight jumpers, hitting seven of them. He's just

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: scorching nine to ten in that first quarter. The Bucks

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: were still leading at half by seven with Jimmy Butler's

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: twenty four points. He had twenty two in the first quarter.

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: Jimmy had twenty four at half and Duncan Robinson was

58
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: the next highest heat player at six. So the will

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: to win was really important that first half because it

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: would have been way worse if Jimmy didn't take over.

61
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: And then midway through the fourth at twenty one point

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, what was really impressive in the last six

63
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: minutes they're down a dozen was just the variety and

64
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: quality of defenders he was doing against, who was doing

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: against Drew Holliday, just dancing on him. He was doing

66
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: it against Brook, against Jans, against whoever decided to come

67
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: at him. And just a ridiculously fun night there in Miami.

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Him hitting all those shots, twenty one points, yelling this

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: is my shit, over and over and over again. That

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: was at Jimmy, Gabe. We've seen it before in the finals,

71
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: not quite to this level, but Jimmy can do this.

72
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy's just a special guy. Is a special night.

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: Fifty six points, nine boards to assists, nineteen to twenty

74
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: eight from the field. He surpassed Lebron's Miami record of

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: forty nine postseason points that he did back in twenty fourteen.

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: And yeah, he led the Heat on a thirty to

77
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: thirteen run here over the final six and change of

78
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: this game. They were down, It looked like they were losing,

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: despite the great game the Jimmy had up until that point.

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: And you know, some other guy stepped up for the

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: Miami Heat down the stretch, Caleb Martin Lowry making some

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: defensive plays, you know, Bam chipping in here and there.

83
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: But it was it was just Jimmy.

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: It just straight up game. That's nuts. That's just it's

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: just Jimmy.

86
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: It's just Jimmy.

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: What can you say on his gwen Stefani Halla back girl.

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh this mus shit right.

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: He had two twenty point quarters against the best defensive

90
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: team in the league in a must win game, and

91
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: then was hitting three pointers to put the Heat ahead.

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: That was just an incredible, uh incredible performance. You know,

93
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: he said, playoff Jimmy's not a thing. I just be

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: hooping fair enough. But this was a playoff Jimmy kind

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: of game, the thing that everybody's gonna remember when his

96
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: career is over. He's got the Bucks on the verge

97
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: of being a one to eight loss in a game

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: that they had a mostly healthy Giannis. I agree with tass.

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: He looked good in the first half. In the second half,

100
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: they showed a couple of clips Yiannis walking around looking

101
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: like he had a back injury, looking like he was sore.

102
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: I didn't think he was necessarily super aggressive going to

103
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: the hoop for the entire game, didn't take a ton

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: of free throws, obviously passed the ball really well. The

105
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: big to big alley oop was there all night for

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: the Bucks.

107
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Yep.

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: But you could tell this wasn't the Giannis that were

109
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: necessarily used to seeing where he's putting his shoulder down,

110
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: getting to the line, and just living in the lane

111
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: for the entire night. He was more of a perimeter

112
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: player in this game, which kind of stuck out to me.

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: And then if that's the case, Jimmy was the best

114
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: player on the court, like he has been for this

115
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: entire series so far. That's why the heater up three

116
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: to one.

117
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: Crazy he was.

118
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: He was just literally crazy that last half of the

119
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. It just even though the Bucks had

120
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: little sporadic moments, Yeah, he did have an n one

121
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: with three minutes left, they had a twenty five point

122
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they were up thirteen points. Jimmy just literally

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: couldn't miss and he was going to the line. So yeah,

124
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: it was nice to see him hit threes too, which

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: doesn't happen a lot. Just that one in particular there

126
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: in the fourth that he had and a couple earlier.

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: He wasn't to be denied. I mean, this is what

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: it came down to. He took it.

129
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: Is this over for the Milwaukee Bucks or do you

130
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: still believe in a Yiannis led team that they could

131
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: win three in a row here against a Miami team

132
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: who basically everybody picked against. I mean, it was a

133
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: one eight matchup, so you're normally going to do that.

134
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: But also we saw them play the Hawks and lose.

135
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: They didn't look good, and then here they are up

136
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 3: through one. But do you think Milwaukee can do what's

137
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: been done before a handful of times? Or is this

138
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: like I don't know with the way the level of

139
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy is playing at.

140
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody's got to help Jimmy win another game here.

141
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: He can't. He can't just drop fifty on you every

142
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: single time. That's sort of what happened against the Lakers

143
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: in the finals. He goes and has that forty plus

144
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: point game, and you know he's hanging on the scorer's

145
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: table and they couldn't get it done because they couldn't

146
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: help him. If Yanni says hurt, then obviously the heater

147
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat. They shouldn't have lost this game.

148
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: To get sixty two combined from Brook, who had a

149
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: monstrous game, thirty six from him, they just needed one

150
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: of Drew Holiday and or Chris Middleton to step up,

151
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: and they struggle fourteen from each of them, thirty two

152
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: percent combined. So what it comes down to For me

153
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: is I think they still have a chance. They blundered

154
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the game a little bit. They had some bad turnovers

155
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: and Drew Holliday just losing the ball with a minute

156
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: left of Kevin Harlan basically saying Lowry picked the pickpocketed Holiday.

157
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: He just lost the ball. What are you supposed to

158
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: say in that instance? I mean, he just lost the ball.

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: That was just a bad one. He didn't steal that.

160
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Caleb Martin with a great save out of bounds. Usually

161
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: the sure handed Drew Hollidy would grab that ball. All

162
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: that to say they can play better. There's no doubt

163
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: those guards can play a heck of a lot better.

164
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: But as Yanni's injured, I won't say it's over, but.

165
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance.

166
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: There's a chance when the Bucks come back.

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bucks lose in five. I think

168
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: we're at least going to a game six. But Milwaukee's

169
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: going to have to play defense. The Heat are scoring

170
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: at a level right now that would lead the league

171
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: in scoring, and they were one of the worst offensive

172
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: teams in the league. They've just been hot from three.

173
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson is able to stay on the court right

174
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Now this is basically happening after Tyler hero All went

175
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: out with an injury, and somehow Milwaukee can't figure out

176
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: how to guard this Heat team, which is something we

177
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: were saying back in twenty twenty one. Why doesn't Giannis

178
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: ever gard Jimmy Butler. I don't think that'll probably happen

179
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: in Game five, as we've seen throughout the years between

180
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: this rivalry, that's just not the way Mike Budenholzer does things.

181
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 2: Also doesn't like to call a timeout thirteen zero run

182
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 2: just let it roll. Weird call there. He's got to

183
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: be a little bit better, I think as well going forward.

184
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Milwaukee will play their best game I think in Game five,

185
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 2: but they got to find out a way to stop

186
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 2: a Heat team from scoring that basically everybody stopped from

187
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: scoring this year. It's insane that they're not able to

188
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: get stops.

189
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess the good sign is the next highest

190
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Heat player had fifteen points, So it was just Jimmy.

191
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: Really when it comes out to Jimmy will cool off

192
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: a bit in the end. Yannis is injured, Chris Middleton

193
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: needed to be somewhat of that All Star and he

194
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: just wasn't. They just couldn't rely on him to be

195
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: as good as he is, and that's the worrisome part.

196
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Their second star isn't there.

197
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Duncan Robinson has definitely found money for the Miami heat

198
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: here in this series. He's like the old cargo short

199
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: to pull out in the spring and there's like a

200
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: twenty dollars bill in one of those pockets that he

201
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: hadn't even didn't even know whether he had that pocket

202
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: on that cargo short, and there's a lot of them, right,

203
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: that's what he is.

204
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: Probably like the original twenties too. Yeah, it's not the

205
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: big face twenties. So if you ever put it in

206
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: your pocket, in your cargo shorts pocket, a twenty dollars bill,

207
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: that was like in the nineties, right, yeah, yeah, So

208
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: they've been updated since then, but you're totally right, Duncan Robinson.

209
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: The fact that he's able to stay on the court.

210
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: Last night a plus fifteen, he hit three threes. He's

211
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: had a good series so far. Caleb Martin gave him

212
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: huge minutes, incredible celebration after the save and the three

213
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: in Giannis's face from the corner face sucker. He just

214
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: grabbed his own face. Very cool to see but he's

215
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: playing and giving a really good boost to the Heat.

216
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: Robinson is good, and Kevin Love has been able to

217
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: at least contribute and give them enough depth pieces to

218
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: stay competitive against the Bucks. After losing Hero, after losing

219
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: Victor Oladipo, who was having a good game when he

220
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: went down with injury, super impressive from the Heat to

221
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: pull a season long Ropodope to suddenly play their best

222
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: basketball in these four games against the Bucks.

223
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: This is a fun tweet here from zachary A, who

224
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: usually chimes in for our nobuf's Survivor podcast, but he

225
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: tweeted in idea for today's show, rank the six teams

226
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: down three to one, Bucks, Grizzlies, Calves, Clippers, Hawks, and

227
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: Wolves from most likely to least likely to come back

228
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: and win their series, and then he goes, I would

229
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: go Bucks, massive gap, then the Grizzlies, the Calves, and

230
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: then a big gap to the Clippers, Wolves, and Hawks.

231
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: That's the order Zach goes with, sort of agreeing with

232
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: your idea, but maybe Milwaukee could do this, though again,

233
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: the level Jimmy Butler plays out in the postseason, it's

234
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: like he's gonna have three chances to have one more

235
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: Jimmy Himmy Butler game. Jimmy gets buckets game, So good

236
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: luck with that. But I think that's pretty close to

237
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: the order you would maybe rank them in anything.

238
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: I would say Bucks on number one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

239
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: but he has most likely to do it. The Grizzlies,

240
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 2: I suppose, are the number two. But I really think

241
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: the Bucks are the only one who could do it.

242
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I've got a tiny bit of hope for

243
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: the cat Yeah. I don't think the Knicks are playing

244
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: that exceptionally exceptionally well. Julius Ramble has not showed up. Yeah,

245
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: they need one, they need one, and then maybe they

246
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: catch their flow. But there's a reason they're down three

247
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: to one. They're struggling. There's no doubt.

248
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: As for like, the most points scored ever in a

249
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: playoff game, it goes Michael Jordan's still at sixty three.

250
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: I believe he's Jimmy Butler's dad, Elgin Baylor sixty one,

251
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell. Remember that fifty seven bubble and then now

252
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler tied with Barkley Wilt and another MG game

253
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: at fifty six. That was the fourth greatest scoring performance

254
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: in a postseason game we've ever seen.

255
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Last night, fifty seven, you hit a free throw.

256
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: I missed. I guess three free throws in the end. Though,

257
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: I like Trey with a tweet this morning ranking the

258
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: fifty point games in terms of just how cool they

259
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: are or how best they are. You would think, well,

260
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: hold on, fifty nine would be the best fifty point game. No,

261
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: it's not. It's fifty five.

262
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: No chance, fifty nine is fifty nine is the best

263
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: possible score you could get in a round of golf.

264
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: If you get a fifty nine, you're on top of

265
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: the world. But fifty five is by far the coolest

266
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: looking number in the fifty to fifty nine range, So

267
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 2: for me, it's tops us. Humans are just drawn to

268
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: these round numbers. Fifty fifty five like a fifty seven,

269
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: that's just catch up baby. Fifty six, I don't mind.

270
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: It's a good linebacker number as well. Jimmy Butler plays

271
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: football style.

272
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: I think what were the top three?

273
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: Fifty five, fifty yeah, and then fifty nine. I mean

274
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: it's still it's still a lot of props. You're almost

275
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: have six.

276
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: It's fair enough.

277
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: I disagree with that.

278
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: I think it's been burned in our minds. After watching

279
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: every linebacker, every big man in high school pick fifty

280
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: five and then fifty I would say fifty four or

281
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: fifty six was picked more, maybe fifty one two than

282
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: a fifty nine I would.

283
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: I would probably fifty nine is not a nobody wants,

284
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: not a desirable number.

285
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: Nobody. Tray had the entire list there. He tweeted it out,

286
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: and my only disagreement, and somebody else had chimed in.

287
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: I thought you had fifty one maybe a little too low.

288
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: Fifty one is a good number. Every one just sounds cool.

289
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: So I would have bumped it up a little bit,

290
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: but definitely agree with fifty five and fifty is one too.

291
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty six is up there, but a good Darryl

292
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Tally by you.

293
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: That's that's a that's a fifty six for me as well.

294
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: Darryl Talley, Yeah.

295
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: That's number one of the things. Yeah, you went through

296
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: these guys who've had fifty plus points games, m VP

297
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: level guys getting to that m VP level talk after

298
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: the game, because Ali LaForce postgame asked Jimmy Butler, how'd

299
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: you like those m VP chants, and he said, no,

300
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm not the m v P Joel Embiid is the MVP.

301
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: How much more in the open can this luring seduction

302
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: of Joel Embiid? B When is Jimmy Butler going to

303
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: be fine for tampering the players? He has to be fined.

304
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: He has to be fine. I mean, they're still in

305
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs together.

306
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: They can see each other in the playoffs.

307
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I have, and he's still trying to get him to Miami.

308
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: Ho Trey brought it.

309
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: Up while Ago Embiid is gonna be on the heat.

310
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: And then Embiid immediately tweets about Jimmy Butler playoff and

311
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: Himmy Butler get a room, honestly, get a team together again.

312
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: I hesitate to even mention this. But Michael Jordan in

313
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: his sixty three point game A the Bulls lost that game.

314
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: That's right, B fifty four points in regulation, that was

315
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: a double od game.

316
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: Good point.

317
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell fifty seven points in the bubble. So the

318
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, this might be the best scoring game we've

319
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: seen in the playoffs in sixty years. Okay, argued, could

320
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: be argued, could be argued. It's true.

321
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have been swayed in the other direction. Now

322
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: now we think every point total is inflated, right, and

323
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: every number is inflated, So we can't we just think, oh,

324
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: fifty six, that's big. It's bigger than anything in the past.

325
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: But we can't see things clearly anymore.

326
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: Would you bet on somebody in this postseason beating or

327
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: tying let's say MJ sixty three in a playoff game.

328
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Well, Trey brought up Desmond Bane Desmond Baine could do it,

329
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: of all people, and then Desmond ban Win had a

330
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: monstrous game in the second game we're going to talk about,

331
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean Booker obviously. Nah. The teams are getting so

332
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: smart and taking the ball out of players hands like

333
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy's was so damn efficient. It just happened so fast

334
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: nineteen of twenty eight. I don't I don't think it

335
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: can happen. I don't. I don't think it's gonna happen.

336
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: I absolutely could happen. The way these guys get to

337
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: the line too, that's the he gets to the free

338
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: throw line. Ton Embiide could have a game like that,

339
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: you know, hell, yeah, honest, for all we know, in

340
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: Game five could have a game like that like KD

341
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: of course. Yeah, there's there's a handful of guys that

342
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: could flirt with this.

343
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: I think I just saw what Yeah yeah, And Jimmy

344
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: Cauler's not a guy you would have on the list

345
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: No to have a fifty six point game. This is

346
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: his third fifty point game of his career. I think

347
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: he hasn't had one since he was with the Bulls

348
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. And if he's going for fifty six,

349
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: it could easily happen. I mean, I think the no

350
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: would be the favorite. Will somebody go over sixty or

351
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: get to Jordan's sixty three? But not a big favorite.

352
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: Crazy what a game? Any other notes from the Heat

353
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: got the face sucker?

354
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: Got the face sucker?

355
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: They like it?

356
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I love it?

357
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was very cool. I remember my dad,

358
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: you know, he's an old man. He used to say

359
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: back in the day, when they would hit a shot,

360
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: they would just go right like that, right to the

361
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: face right. No, no, Disshaun Stevenson like shaken, No, John

362
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: Cenas shaken and definitely not a Caleb Martin face grab. Yeah,

363
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: but I took it to the next level. You know,

364
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: great stuff.

365
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: We had a lot of fun with that on playback,

366
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: so shout out everybody that joined us last night watching

367
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: this very entertaining game which looked like the Bucks were

368
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 3: going to be tying it up the series two two,

369
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: and then until Jimmy said no, no, no, no no,

370
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: We're going back to Milwaukee with a lead. What a game.

371
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: Second game on TNT last night not bad either. Lebron James'

372
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: first career twenty twenty line powers the Lakers to the

373
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 3: overtime victory and they have a three to one series

374
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: lead heading back to Memphis. We have I guess three

375
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: series where the road team going into game five and

376
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 3: the other opponent's barn has a chance to win it

377
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: here when you include the Knicks there and the Cleveland series.

378
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: But what'd you think of this one? Tassi?

379
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Awesome game, Awesome support players helping the Lakers get there,

380
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: get to the line there in that fourth quarter they

381
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: were down Daniel Russell three big threes, bag bag bag baby,

382
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: that was enormous. When Desmond band was trying to put

383
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: this game away and then Austin Reeves forty five seconds left,

384
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: ball swung to him and a huge drive right to

385
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: the rim. He is feeling fine, he looks so good

386
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: helping out and obviously a lot of talk about Lebron's

387
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: drive at the end of regulation to send this baby

388
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: to overtime. Xavior Tillman, who played him really really well

389
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: throughout the fourth quarter, bodying him, but Lebron was able

390
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: to go buy him and not enough help coming fast enough,

391
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: and Jared Jackson Junior is coming just a bit late,

392
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: just a bit late. He reached up and Lebron put

393
00:18:53,680 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: it ways the slow mo is gorgeous, hitting the top

394
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: of the box and it going down. They tried. Dylan

395
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Brook's not sure what he was doing on that possession.

396
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: If you look back at what the Warriors were able

397
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: to do against Aaron Fox get the ball out of

398
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: his hands, with Curry and Draymond Green forcing Harrison Barnes

399
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: take a shot, feels like what they should have done

400
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: with Lebron, just come a little bit quicker to help

401
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: out both Dylan Brooks and Desmond Bain just watching a

402
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: little bit too much on that play and a miraculous performance.

403
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned the support players first, even before Lebron, because

404
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: Austin really reeves leads this team in scoring. Anthony Davis

405
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: had seven points through regulation and they still win this game.

406
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: It's a testament to all of them. It's unfortunate. Desmond

407
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: Bain's really great game gets yeah, goes for nothing really

408
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: and morient tough game, and Dylan Brook's tough game. You

409
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: can ask why he's on the floor if he's not

410
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: guarding Lebron James in those instances of what is he

411
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: adding if he's not on if he's not guarding Lebron,

412
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: And then really tough afterwards where Moran and Dylan Brooks

413
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: do not talk to the media. Not a good look, IMO,

414
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: especially when your season is on the line.

415
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: To me, this felt like a glimpse into the future

416
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: because I thought this was the oldest Lebron has ever

417
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: looked in a game. He was deferring the entirety of

418
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, the two points at the end of regulation,

419
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: where was his first two points in the fourth quarter.

420
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: It looked like he had zero burst. It looked like

421
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: when he got into the lane he was just jumping

422
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: up in the air, was worried he wasn't going to

423
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 2: be able to elevate over Jaron Jackson Junior, and then

424
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: auditioned it out for somebody to try and take a shot.

425
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: The Lakers were not hitting. But then he came through

426
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: in the clutch and did a whole bunch else outside

427
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: of trying to score. The rebounding was crazy, twenty rebrounds.

428
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: That's a lot of roast beef. In the playoffs, he

429
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: took two charges on John Moran. Seven assists as well

430
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: for Lebron, not a surprise, but that was to me, Like,

431
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Lebron's one of the oldest guys in the

432
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: league already, he's thirty eight years old. But that's how

433
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: he will be playing when he's forty eight years old,

434
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: you know, just maintaining his body until the last possible

435
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: second when the Lakers needed him to score because they

436
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: weren't getting it from anybody else. Dangelo Russell had a

437
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: terrible game, except for when he had three straight threes

438
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: that completely put him back into it. And yeah, the

439
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: Bain thing is tough because he was on fire for

440
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: forty five minutes and then went ice cold for the

441
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: worst possible eight minutes, last three minutes in overtime, one

442
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: for five on pretty good looks. He was scoring efficiently inside,

443
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 2: could not hit threes, even though the Grizzlies were getting

444
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: some pretty wide open attempts for Baine from the corner

445
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: places where he's usually money, so tough miss is there.

446
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: But uh, for Lebron to have a twenty twenty line

447
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: on a night when it doesn't look like he has

448
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: it athletically against an incredible defensive team, that's goat stuff

449
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: right there. That was incredible.

450
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: He said, quote, I've done some pretty cool things in

451
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: my career, but I've never had a twenty twenty before.

452
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: So that's pretty cool, I guess, very cool Lebron Jeeves

453
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 3: impressing himself flit that twenty twenty line with all of

454
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: the rebounds there. And how about the play at the

455
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: end of regulation where Adie gets the block Lebron, Yeah,

456
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 3: seventy bomber though it was it was too late, it

457
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: was in bead like we had seen that already earlier

458
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: this year, but amazing, holy crap thing goes in. But

459
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: in overtime, I mean, look, you're just you're starting to

460
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: ball back up zero zero and they really came out

461
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 3: with the aggression there. And then he had the clenching

462
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 3: basket against Dylan Brooks where he just took him to

463
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: the net, put him in the net, and then flex

464
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: on me got the and one there. What did you

465
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: think about the scary falls there from John Moran a

466
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: couple times in this game, and those two pretty significant

467
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: charges called against him, where Lebron was the one drawing

468
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: the charge, and it was who was it? Especially that one.

469
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 3: I did not think Lebron was fully there. Yeah, very reckless. Yeah,

470
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: coming in late.

471
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: And then it's happening more and more and more, and

472
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 1: this man is jumping higher and higher and higher. We're

473
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: just gonna get more of these falls.

474
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 2: I think what Jaw's doing truckless. How are you supposed

475
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 2: to defend that? If you can't take a charge, he's

476
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: just flinging his body in the air and trying to

477
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: draw a foul. You gotta be able to do something.

478
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Lebron is late, He's not even he's not stationed.

479
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: He's coming in. The rule is after the upward motion starts,

480
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: like he is coming in after. It's like sliding in

481
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: under a shooter. But this is a driver, and there's

482
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: got to be a better way of protecting them. There

483
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: has to be.

484
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: I think it's a jaw to not to not do that.

485
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: Stop stop driving, Yeah.

486
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: Stop yeah, I mean kind of flinging his body like that,

487
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: that's not offense. I mean that to me, those were

488
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: both clear charges. Because jaw is completely out of control.

489
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 2: There's gotta be some sort of way to defend him,

490
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: because what are you supposed to do challenge him at

491
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: the rim? You're going to call for a flagrant file

492
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: if you go up and knock him out of the air.

493
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys have to jump, I mean knock him

494
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: out of the air. Yeah, you have to jump straight up.

495
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: I think I think that's allowed. I mean that's that.

496
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: I think that is this or of the balance. You

497
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: won't get called for that.

498
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: They couldn't also even look at these because for whatever reason,

499
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: both of these coaches use their challenge in the first half.

500
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: It was like five minutes to go in the first half,

501
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 3: what are they doing? Like, honestly, that's a little weird

502
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: in a very important game here the Lakers pull out,

503
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: But I thought that was strange. But yeah, I mean

504
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: a lot of talk about the idea it's been going

505
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: on all a postseason feels even through the regular season,

506
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: that the idea of a guy going airborne and then

507
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: a guy coming in maybe a little too late, and

508
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 3: then the you know, obviously the drastic fault and whether

509
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: or not we want to ban that it's the charge call.

510
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: How do you is he set? Is he leaning?

511
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 2: Is he there?

512
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody's got an opinion on it. I thought

513
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 3: the one no, and I thought the other one. Yes,

514
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: you're right. It doesn't help jos case that he it

515
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: looks reckless because it sort of is.

516
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: It is.

517
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it doesn't help your case to you know,

518
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 3: not get that charging call. But also I don't think

519
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: I got should be able to slide into under a guy.

520
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a basketball either. But if they

521
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 3: think he's there, they say that's a charge. It's Lebron

522
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: James too. I'm sure that comes into play wild ending.

523
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: This wasn't a pretty game when you think about it,

524
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: like down the stretch and sort of the play. But

525
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: the Lakers do enough here and Ad defensively, like it

526
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: would have been interesting to hear if they had lost

527
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: this game in overtime. Would people have been going in

528
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: on Ad like, oh god, you know whatever, ten points?

529
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: He finished with twelve, But let's say they lose and

530
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't score in overtime. Whatever would people be going

531
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: what the heck? Ad?

532
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Of course, if he had seven in regulation, it could

533
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: have easily be done then, And that's why I don't

534
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: really have faith for the Lakers to go extremely deep.

535
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: They just you can't rely on Bron and Ad to

536
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: do it over and over and over again. I think

537
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: that's that's becoming clearer. And they got done a game.

538
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: They won a game where the Grizzlies shot really poorly.

539
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Obviously the Lakers are scrambling, but the Grizzlies, other than

540
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: a Desmond Band who needed to take it every shot

541
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: down the stretch, they didn't really get a good offensive

542
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: game from anybody. That's it. I mean, the Xavier Tillman

543
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: was their most efficient guy beside Desmond Bane, who you know,

544
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: had to take a lot of shots. So Lakers go

545
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: by in this one. They obviously scrapped and fought hard,

546
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: but I don't have faith that they can go deep.

547
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: I can't see them doing game in and game out.

548
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: In two LA games. Dylan Brooks, he wound up shooting

549
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: seven to twenty two from the field, two to twelve

550
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: from deep. Obviously ejected in Game three for hit Lebron

551
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 3: and the Nuts. Last night, Lebron you know, going at him,

552
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: picking on him a little bit on those one on

553
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 3: one situations. At least in some pivotal possession, especially in

554
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: overtime there, and then he didn't speak to the media

555
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: after the.

556
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: Year and zero press conferences in Los Angeles, and he's still.

557
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 3: Trying to find the guy who crashed the hot dog

558
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 3: cart into the Clothing Star. You got to back up

559
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 3: your trash talk on the floor would be the best move,

560
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: but then to at least sort of face the music,

561
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: and he sort of did to avoid that, and then

562
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 3: is trying to spin it into like, oh, well, you're

563
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: making me the villain here. Not a good look for

564
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks. And now like you're hearing like Tim McMahon saying,

565
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: like they're trying to trade this guy already. Yeah, they're

566
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: done with them in the Grizzlies locker room. Uh yeah,

567
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 3: it's been a rough week here dealing Brooks. Like you said,

568
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: he felt like it was in the highest he had

569
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: ever been.

570
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he had a great, great run trash talking

571
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: with h Shannon, sharp with Draymond Green, and then he

572
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: thought he had Lebron, thought he had him. You know,

573
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: they won that game without John Morant won one. Heading

574
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: back to La all he's doing is taking three pointers,

575
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: box him out twenty rebounds, last night, Like literally just

576
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: put a body on Lebron. That was a huge impact,

577
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: Lebron cleaning the glass the entire night. That's how you

578
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: win games like, that's how you win in the playoffs.

579
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: This was not a fun game. This was not a

580
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: well played game. So you got to scrap it out,

581
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: and the Lakers were more willing to do that.

582
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

583
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: Also, we talked about Duncan Robinson being found money for

584
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: the in that series. In this game, at least Jared

585
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt early contributing fifteen points. He'd only scored twelve in

586
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: the first three games combined, so he actually helped out

587
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers last night there. And you know, Darvin Ham

588
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: went the quote after the game too. If Dilo doesn't

589
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: play the way he played, we don't win this game.

590
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: It's going to be sort of forgotten. But those three

591
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: threes were massive. I mean they were down seven. He

592
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: just hits rips off three threes and then fouls out.

593
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: And otherwise he played a brutal game. Otherwise brutal series.

594
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 3: He had been garbage for most of this series. But

595
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: you know this is the playoffs, right, It's like, hey,

596
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 3: save us for a couple of minutes here, get us

597
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: back in it. He obviously did, so it's nice to

598
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: hear Darvinham point that out. My only final note from

599
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: this game was how about stan Van Gundy sounding like

600
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: PJ Carlissimo on the call?

601
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: I thought it was PJ at first.

602
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: But man, his voice was shot season out there in

603
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: La Man. It was stuff then, just working too many games, yeah,

604
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: a lot of that, lot of travel, a lot of

605
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: late nights at he sounded crazy though. Anything else from

606
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: the Lakers going up through one, yeah, not as confident

607
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: in the Grizzly chances as maybe the Bucks to come back.

608
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: Nah. No, Rant's got a score a little bit, eight

609
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: for twenty four in this one, one of six and

610
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: the fourth in overtime.

611
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: And yeah, the hand definitely playing a part.

612
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: In all of this for sure.

613
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: Hands, Yeah, he had the behind the back was nice

614
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: in traffic where we're like at that point, Joe was

615
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: trying to play left handed, is really what it looked

616
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: like he found Tilman I think for the lefty behind

617
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: the back in traffic. And then that dump off to

618
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: Bain after I think it was after Lebron had drawn

619
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: two charges on Jaw with him with just like scream

620
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: into the rim he was doing it again, had the

621
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: fast break with so I was just like, boop, yeah,

622
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: a little drop off to Bain. That seemed like the

623
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: game right there, because that was such a huge momentum play.

624
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: He's laying next to the stanchion doing his eye goggle

625
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: kind of things. Right, felt like it was over, but

626
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: it was not jover yet.

627
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: I do have to say, uh, this story coming out

628
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: of the Lakers camp of the guys on the team

629
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: letting Lebron down because Lebron had told him, hey, let's

630
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: get two in Memphis, and then they split and everybody

631
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: was all, we let poor Lebron down, and Lebron read

632
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 3: the room it's okay, it's okay, we'll take care of

633
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: business here. What a weird story, I guess. Was Tristan

634
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: Thompson right relaying this that Jared Greenberg. It's just so

635
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: funny to me. Oh, sorry, Lebron, we didn't win both

636
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: in Memphis.

637
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Tristan Thompson has got to pay Lebron back for getting

638
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: him signed.

639
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: You can tell his story. That's kind of right.

640
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: He was just.

641
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: Story. It's like the guy in the movie three hundred

642
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 3: with the the Greek Warriors, right, who's the main guy.

643
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: I forget the main guy.

644
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: He's the bat Leon Leonidas. It's the other guy telling

645
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: the story of him.

646
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: And then he just stand.

647
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Samuel Tari of the Lakers.

648
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: Okay, there's more timely reference, all right. So Lakers up

649
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: three to one, heat up three one. My god, what

650
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: a playoffs. We gotta take a break, and when we

651
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: come back, a lot of NBA news to dissect, including

652
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: Emai Udoka go into the Rockets, don't go anywhere all right,

653
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: back here in the Classic Factory, I wanted to find

654
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: out who the heck I was talking about there from

655
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: three hundred, the Spartan that I couldn't come up with

656
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: his name, who told the story? So I typed in

657
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: blindfolded three hundred into my little Google, and the first

658
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: thing that popped up was guynecologist bowls a perfect three

659
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 3: hundred game while blindfolded. But apparently it's sports satire. Dilios.

660
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: That was the name of the guy with the eye

661
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: patch right alongside the Spartans against the Persia there in

662
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 3: the movie three Others.

663
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: I guess that makes Dylan Brooks Xerxes. Yes, get on

664
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: your photoshops, people throw an eye patch on Tristan Thompson,

665
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: tell my story.

666
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: All right, we got some NBA news. Utah Jazz forward

667
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: Lowry Markinen has been named the NBA's most improved player.

668
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: The news came at just past two am Tuesday in Helsinki,

669
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: where Marketing is currently fulfilling his military service that is

670
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: mandated for all finished men to do before they turned thirty.

671
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: But Lowry Markinen got sixty nine of the one hundred

672
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: first place votes for mi IP. He appeared on every ballot.

673
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: SGA got twenty four first place votes. He finished second.

674
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunts and got four first place vote He finished third,

675
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: but Lowry market in the finisher.

676
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: Was he interviewed, Yeah, it was very late, that's nice,

677
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: like a tired man.

678
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: He looked tired. He looked like he was in a

679
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: boring room. Yeah, great room.

680
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: Zero two high under that hours.

681
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

682
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had to make his bed, so concuts to him.

683
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I got not really a surprise. It was

684
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: these three guys as our finalists, and uh, you know,

685
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: Marketing and logged career highs and scoring guy Evers twenty

686
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: five point six points per game, not bad, eight point

687
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: six rebounds per game, nearly two assists. Got to the

688
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: line a ton and he flirted flirted with the fifty

689
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 3: to forty ninety club forty nine point nine percent overall

690
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: from the floor, thirty nine point one percent from three

691
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: to eighty seven point five percent of the line. So

692
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: what a year for this guy who obviously made his

693
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: way to Utah and that Donovan Mitchell train.

694
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of hard to separate Lowry in Shae

695
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: for me because like shit could have easily got it

696
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: both first time All Stars. It's nice one twenty five,

697
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: one twenty four won a big who shoots threes won

698
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: a guard who does not shoot threes. They're kind of

699
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: opposites but kind of the same. But yeah, it's it's

700
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: for the voters. It's the unexpected story, which is Lari

701
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: marketing and versus the good to amazing Shait Gildas Alexander.

702
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: But maybe he'll get some some MVP votes to make

703
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: him happy. For shit.

704
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 3: Oh he'll appear on some ballots end of the ballots,

705
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 3: so I believe, yeah, he will.

706
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on this, Yeah, this is this is incredible

707
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: actually from marketing, and I'm not surprised he kind of

708
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: blew out shake Gil just Alexander here he improved more.

709
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: He founded the two hundred one hundred club. Don't even

710
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: think about the one hundred club, first in NBA history

711
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: with two hundred made threes and one hundred dunks. He

712
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 2: was in a better system. This is the best system

713
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: he's played in Utah. Basically five out a lot of

714
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: room to operate. The ball moves a lot in Utah

715
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: as well, but also marketing just got better as a player.

716
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: Bulls fans think he learned to just take one more

717
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: dribble and that's why he's getting all these dunks rather

718
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 2: than trying to fly over guys and make an impossible play.

719
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 2: He was just a lot stronger this year, and apparently

720
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: Will Hardy said, just do what you were doing for Finland.

721
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: He did.

722
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

723
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, I don't have to just put the

724
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: ball on the floor and try and be an ISO player.

725
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: Every time I can run, I can catch, I can dunk.

726
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 2: It's easy, simplified.

727
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 3: Well deserved their MIP for allow making. All right. This

728
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: next piece of news I think caught some people by surprise.

729
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 3: Reports from the big heavy hitters of the NBA world

730
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: the Houston Rockets are going to be hiring ex Celtics

731
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 3: coach em Udoka tasks. Were you shocked by this news

732
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: that at least this pairing, because it felt like Nick

733
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: Nurse was going to be coaching the Rockets and maybe

734
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: Udoka was going to be going to the Raptors. That's

735
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: what a lot of people were believing. And instead it's

736
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 3: Udoka going to go to Houston.

737
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're all sort of surprised. So there's

738
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: the basketball part of things, and then there's the off

739
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: court part of things. On the court, I wonder how

740
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna work because it's a young Rockets team

741
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: and Udoka is a no nonsense type of guy. By

742
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: all accounts, the Celtics players, you know, describe him as

743
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: sort of a like a real strict guy that held

744
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: him to account at all times. And I wonder how

745
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: that's going to work with the Rockets locker room. They're

746
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: going to be called out, called out in the media,

747
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: called out person, and I wonder how that's going to work. Now,

748
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: it could work just in terms of players. He really

749
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: worked well with Robert Williams and now Horford and Jabari

750
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: Smith Junior and Alprin Schengun could be awesome defensively, you know,

751
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: not quite defensive players like like Horford and Williams. But

752
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: it could work, but I wonder how the personalities are

753
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: really going to drive there.

754
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 3: But don't they just need to bring in a bunch

755
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: of experienced players that's to add to the end of

756
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 3: the bench or even you know, some rotation.

757
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't. I think it's pretty combustible. Still.

758
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to work extremely well. And

759
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: the Celtics situation was almost didn't work all that well

760
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: at first. There was some butting of heads and with

761
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: you know, guys like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Junior.

762
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: I just wonder how it's going to work. Yeah, vets

763
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: are going to help, So I can't wait to see

764
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: how it all works. On paper, it kind of makes sense,

765
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: but he also has to come out and explain what

766
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: happened behind the scenes and come clear with that. He

767
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: can just they can't just try and sweep it under

768
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: the rug, which you can sort of see as a possibility,

769
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: but they have to be open about it. And I

770
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: know the Nets were almost close to hiring if you

771
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: remember that it was a wild season we went through

772
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: the Nets timeline. They were close to hiring him a

773
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: month after the Celtics suspended him for a year, and

774
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: the Celtics players were, you know, almost vouching for him.

775
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: At first. They were upset that he was suspended, and

776
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: when he was almost hired by the Nets, they were

777
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: also sort of hurt. There's a lot of emotions. I

778
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: think Udoka has to come clear, come clean with everything

779
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: and just you know, talk about it and make a

780
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: better situation of what happened, because there are a lot

781
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: of people who are hurt and you know, some some

782
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: lives changed because of what he did.

783
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, task is exactly right. We need to hear from

784
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: Udoka what happened with the Celtics suspension. We got to

785
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: hear from Tilman Fertita about the investigation they would have

786
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: done prior to the hiring, and something we won't hear

787
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: is Udoka and for Tita or Tilman Fertita addressing the

788
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: women who work for the Rockets, because surely there are

789
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: a lot of them who are going to have a

790
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 2: problem with this hire. Rightfully, so, Emo Udoka preached accountability

791
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 2: and transparency and that wasn't walking the walk off the court.

792
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: We haven't heard from him since we got to hear

793
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: from him about that. And pretty much right away at

794
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 2: his opening press conference, So that's definitely something interesting to

795
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: watch on the court. Makes sense to me like Udoka

796
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: was an end desire coach even before going to the Celtics,

797
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: had the great run there in his first year calling

798
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: people out. The Rockets probably need that. I think they're

799
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: going to look a lot different next year. They've got

800
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars in cap space. We heard so many

801
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: teams say they need vets in the locker room, so

802
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: surely that will be part of the team building over

803
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 2: the summer. And who knows what happens with James Harden.

804
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: I think he's more likely to come to a Rockets

805
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: team if they have a well known, big name coach

806
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: like Odoka is. I don't know if it's gonna happen,

807
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: but he's more of a lure than a guy getting

808
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 2: their very first shot in the league. So Rockets probably

809
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: look different next year. And I think the fact that

810
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: Udoka comes in with an identity we're gonna play defense

811
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: and you better play hard or else you're gonna get

812
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 2: trashed in the media. That's gonna help with Houston.

813
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 3: If you've been living under a rock and don't really

814
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 3: know what happened with Udoka and the bus of Celtics

815
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 3: that led to his suspension there this season. An independent

816
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 3: law firm they looked into it, and they found out

817
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: that Udoka used crude language in his dialogue with a

818
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 3: female subordinate before the start of an improper workplace relationship

819
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: with her. That's what we know right now. But I'm

820
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 3: with you guys, especially the guy that preaches transparency, accountability,

821
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 3: they need to right now address this. What happened, what

822
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 3: they've learned, moving on the steps and all of that.

823
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 3: And they can't just pretend it didn't. I think that

824
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: would be unwise. We'll see how the Rockets and him

825
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 3: do or at all talk about it. But as a

826
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: head coach, they wanted a legitimate name. They had said that,

827
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: you know, the Rockets had stressed that we don't want

828
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 3: someone sort of like an upstar head coach. We want

829
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: someone to come in here and the guy's got some

830
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: coaching acumen. I mean, did take a team to the finals,

831
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: a team that wasn't doing well. Like you said, Tasks,

832
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: they had players calling players out, if you remember Smart

833
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: calling out some of the the j's there in Jalen

834
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 3: and Tatum, and they all sat down apparently led by

835
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: Udoka and cleared the air and then went from there

836
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 3: and went on an incredible run and helped out I

837
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: think with Horford in the locker room and stuff like that.

838
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: So that'll be a big part too, that Stone will

839
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: have to bring in guys that are just established players,

840
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: not like to like play forty minutes a game, but

841
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 3: just to help your Jalen Greens and you and your

842
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: smith's and your shing guns and stuff like that. And

843
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: maybe Kevin Porter Junior. That'll be fascinating too. If he

844
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: can sort of unlock him and make him a real

845
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: NBA player, we'll get a chance, I think. But yeah,

846
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 3: we'll see. We'll see what they I don't know when

847
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 3: they plan on talking or when they plan on addressing

848
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 3: or introducing him, I should say.

849
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: But yes, good question has not spoken publicly since and

850
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: needs to do that. He is the opposite of Steven

851
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: Silas really in terms of coaching, so that it's got

852
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: to be better than what happened this season where players, yeah,

853
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: were basically saying this is a bad locker room, bad situation,

854
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: and at the end of it all, you know, through

855
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: the ups and down, Celtics players were clamoring for the dude.

856
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: They were, They wanted to vouch for him, they wanted

857
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: to fight for him, and they were hurt when it

858
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: all went down.

859
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: That's why some people, Celtics fans maybe are a little

860
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: concerned that this could be Jaellen Brown eventually heading to

861
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: the Houston Rockets. That was a guy that's particularly loved.

862
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 3: Imo Yudoka. Also, he gets to go to a franchise here,

863
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 3: but a strong possibility, I guess a fourteen percent chance

864
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 3: of landing the number one pick in Wemben Yama, And

865
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 3: holy crap, would that possibly turn a franchise around where

866
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: you would think so in a heartbeat. Next piece of news,

867
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: not so fun. Darren Fox fractured finger helpful for Game five.

868
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 3: If he does try and play, probably gonna have to

869
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: wear a protective covering there on that left index finger,

870
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: which you would assume would affect his ability to you know,

871
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 3: dribble and shoot and stuff like that because he is

872
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: left handed. This sucks, because this is the most exciting series,

873
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 3: had been fairly healthy outside of the you know, Draymond

874
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 3: Green suspension in one of those games. But now we

875
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 3: have our first real injury of it. Though we could

876
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 3: play in this, and I think, will you believe he

877
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: will tray probably with some protective covering, and see how

878
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:33,959
Speaker 3: he goes.

879
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an evulsion fracture, which is like what happens

880
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: when the ball hits the very tip of your finger.

881
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes it bumps up and you get a little lump

882
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: there like I had on mine. You tape it up.

883
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: He's gonna play. It's gonna affect his finger though, because

884
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: it is his shooting hand, his index finger, So the

885
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: ball's gonna be feeling weird coming off of it's up.

886
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's just it's gonna be painful. It's gonna

887
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: get hit, no doubt during the game. But I assume

888
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: that Fox will be out there playing and maybe once

889
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: the adrenaline gets going, it hurts a little bit less

890
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: and he's able to figure out how to play with

891
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: whatever sort of thing they give him on his finger.

892
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 2: I think the key, though, is that they got to

893
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: start in the league Monk. If Fox is going to

894
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 2: be a little bit hampered here. They can't have Fox

895
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: playing at eighty percent Kevin Herder not able to hit.

896
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 2: They're going to need Monk to attack the rim, to

897
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: be a second side creator and just take a little

898
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: bit of the play making load off of Fox. So

899
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: I thought it was something that Mike Brown should consider

900
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 2: from Game five, even before we knew Dearon Fox had

901
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: any sort of injury. But now I kind of think

902
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 2: it's a must.

903
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good call. And Kevin Herder has had

904
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: experience with the Hawks coming off the bench, being sort

905
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: of in and out of the starting lineup in that

906
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one postseason run, so it totally makes sense.

907
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: Monk may not be as sped up playing beside Fox

908
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: as he was in those last few minutes where yeah,

909
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: things look bad, but maybe starting beside him helps out Fox. Yeah,

910
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: I got to play through an injury. I imagine the

911
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: dude's gonna play. The Great conversation yesterday, Mattio brought up

912
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: why even put this on the injury report? If he's

913
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna play, why even let the other team know about it?

914
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: I guess things just have to be transparent and clear

915
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: these days, and then that is part of the old

916
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: gambling game that you got to let people know about

917
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: the injuries. But Darius Soriano, covered the Lakers for a

918
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: long time, gave a nice example of Kobe playing through

919
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: this injury, same finger shooting hand, index finger, and Kobe

920
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: learned how to shoot the ball off his middle finger

921
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more, just let it roll off his

922
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: middle finger as the ball was released from his hand.

923
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: He's he gonna have to work rework these mechanics for

924
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: these next couple of games, maybe to some degree. Maybe

925
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: it's just gonna happen naturally, but he's gonna play through it.

926
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna absolutely fight through it. I imagine.

927
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you continue to play in the game

928
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: after he did this fracture, like sort of midway through

929
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: the fourth there, hitting his finger off of Looney really

930
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 3: after the whistle was hit a jumper, you know, hit

931
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: I believe a free thrower to hit that three obviously,

932
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: but people will say, yeah, that's like, you know, you're

933
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 3: adrenaline's pumping, You're in a huge game. Now you take

934
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: a couple of days off. Yet does the pain set in,

935
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 3: the discomfort, does the swell and all that? So we'll

936
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 3: see how it affects him. Hopefully at least plays in

937
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: this game. This guy in this classic series Fox is

938
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: averaging thirty one and a half points per game, six boards,

939
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 3: seven assists, and two and a half steals. He's been

940
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 3: by far the King's best player. He's been easily one

941
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 3: of the top performers in the postseason. Like if we

942
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: were making the you know all NBA playoff team right now,

943
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 3: he's probably on the first team. How special he's been,

944
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: or at least on the first or second team. So

945
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: this will this will be interesting during the regular season

946
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: if you care about this. The Kings were four and

947
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 3: five in games played without Deer and Fox, but hopefully

948
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 3: he gives it a go and they don't play until

949
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 3: Wednesday night in Sacramento in that series all tied up

950
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 3: at two games apiece. Someone who will not be playing

951
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: in game five, de Jontae Murray. The NBA suspended the

952
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: Hawks guard four game five tonight of that series against

953
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 3: the Celtics for making inappropriate contact with and verbally abusing

954
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 3: a referee, And we showed you this yesterday. The incident

955
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 3: occurred in the closing seconds of Sunday's game as Dejohntey

956
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: walked off the court in defeat, stepp into the official,

957
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 3: bumping them. I guess he had some words for him

958
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: as well, the league says, and gets a game for it.

959
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: Not surprising, does that fan get paid for that video.

960
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: He took up de jont popping the official the video

961
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: that's being shown around. He went, Adam, there's no doubt.

962
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if de Jontay Murray even flew to Boston

963
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 1: to me. You just you're saying this series is over

964
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: by losing your cool like that and being down three

965
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: won it? You know it's partly I guess that's what

966
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: it is. It's just losing it's cool. I don't think

967
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: it's him deciding I'm going to Cancun, but it's him,

968
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: I guess, no one in the back of his mind.

969
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just just a whole bag of sadness there.

970
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: What happens with what's this Hawks team going forward? Now?

971
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: I wonder that what's going to happen with the changes

972
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: that happened in this offseason. Dejohonta Murray's got one more

973
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: year on his contract. They gave up so much for him.

974
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: They're going forward with Trey and de Jontay as there

975
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 1: are two guys, you know, max money type guys. Because

976
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to extend to Jontay Murray, bad ending,

977
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: because this is the end. Because Dejontay you mentioned the

978
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: best playoff performers. De Jontay has been fairly solid for

979
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: the Sox team. He's been pretty good. I know there's

980
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: been some helter skelter shooting, but he's been reliable to

981
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: some degree. So now now it's over.

982
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, what any thoughts on this? This intentional contact there

983
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 3: sort of triggers that automatic suspension.

984
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: That was an obvious suspension. I mean he might have

985
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: gotten a suspense or at least a fine for just

986
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 2: the verbal assault afterwards to the way he I mean

987
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: he bumped him and then it was I'm going to

988
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 2: the other rough and yelling at him. So yeah, pretty

989
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: unsurprising that Murray ended up getting suspended, but tasks right.

990
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: He's maybe been the Hawk's best player so far in

991
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: this series. Twenty five seven and six assists, two steals.

992
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: He's shooting forty five percent from the field, almost forty

993
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 2: from three. He's been really good. He was instrumental in

994
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: the win they got, making shots down the stretch with

995
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 2: Trey Jung. Not to mention, the Hawks have played nine

996
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: guys total in this series. They don't have a very

997
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 2: deep team right now. Bogdanovic really struggled in Game four,

998
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: big game from DeAndre Hunter. I guess Bogdanovitch probably gets

999
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: the start. Maybe maybe Bay if they decided to go

1000
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger, but not great options for Quinn Snyder,

1001
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: which is not a surprise when you're second best player

1002
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 2: goes and gets himself suspended.

1003
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: Have you seen the other clip from this game that

1004
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 3: I know Hawks fans were sharing and saying, hey, what

1005
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: about this of Jason Tatum bumping an official frustrated with

1006
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 3: you know, a call or a non call there, and

1007
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 3: sort of like going by him.

1008
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: Have you seen this clip going around Trey's going to

1009
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: pull it up round?

1010
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he makes content official. It's it's different

1011
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 3: than this one where Dejonte is obviously zimply upset and

1012
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 3: it's like stepping to him. This is more like, I

1013
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 3: guess you can almost call it inadvertent, but we would

1014
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 3: have already saying, what the hell man he hit him?

1015
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 3: He'd made contact with him?

1016
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 2: Oh oh, he does. He made forearmed to stomach contact.

1017
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 2: Perhaps a little bit of an extent, I know, an

1018
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 2: offensive following the regular season, maybe not in the.

1019
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 3: Post the refs should have flopped actually sold.

1020
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: It, actually got the call.

1021
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 3: Would have got the call from the other official. But anyway,

1022
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 3: no to Jontay Murray, and I don't think it would

1023
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 3: have matter if he was playing anyway, because the Celtics

1024
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 3: are going to win this game and wrap up this

1025
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 3: series because they're just a better team. Yeah, sad but true.

1026
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 3: We gotta take one more break when we come back.

1027
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 3: Tweeted the night don't go anywhere, all right, let's get

1028
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 3: to tweet of the night.

1029
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: Tweet of the night.

1030
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 3: Wow, good night of basketball last night, right night.

1031
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 2: Thus fans enjoyed it, and some fans enjoyed it in

1032
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: Los Angeles as well. So here's a couple of great

1033
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: fans moments, uh from last night in LA. The first

1034
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 2: one comes from basketball poetry. Some good fan energy right

1035
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: here for these two Laker fans who were sitting courtside

1036
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: on the same side as the camera's hood up like

1037
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: Kevin Garnett on the back of the head. The guys

1038
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 2: just doing doing a lot of wacky arm moods. I

1039
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 2: guess you would say, a real Anderson Beershau type.

1040
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, like inflatable thing outside of a yeah a little bit, yes,

1041
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: arms guy, That was awesome.

1042
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 2: I do like to see those court side fans getting

1043
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: into it. Yeah, those guys were standing quite a few times.

1044
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 2: Hood guy and hat guy. I guess I would probably

1045
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: call him. They'd probably get names if the Lakers go

1046
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 2: on to lose that series, and Joss like pointy, yeah

1047
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 2: them or something like that. Exactly exactly, but it ended

1048
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: up inspiring the Lakers. So well done. New Laker bros

1049
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 2: for this season. The other one a couple of Laker

1050
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: bros who have been around for a long long time.

1051
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Goldstein and Flee sitting courtside. Jesus, are you more

1052
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,439
Speaker 2: of a Jimmy or more of a Flea you wear

1053
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 2: You're wearing a crocodile fedora or gigantic orange bug glasses.

1054
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 3: I think I'm more of a Jimmy watching these Lake games.

1055
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 3: That's how I look when they get to around midnight. Yeah,

1056
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 3: especially over time.

1057
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 2: That's a good point if this were actually flipped and

1058
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 2: like beginning of the night at the playoffs, just by

1059
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: the end of the night, you're just hoping to stay up.

1060
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1061
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 3: Man, Wow, these guys look old.

1062
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: These guys are sick.

1063
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jimmy is the ultimate sicko and and Flea loves

1064
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 3: his Lakers obviously.

1065
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a nice hat though.

1066
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: That is a nice hat.

1067
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: Love to see that on mo Bernie.

1068
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: It's too big for his hat. I think, I guess

1069
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy's probably got a small head. But that's just a

1070
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: lot of hat. I've only seen Mowen small hats. But

1071
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm definitely more of a Jimmy sitting down. Yeah,

1072
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: just because Jimmy is sitting down to watch these games,

1073
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: I'm not standing down.

1074
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 3: I'll be honest for a lot of.

1075
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: These seconds you're asking for.

1076
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, but big old pillows propping me up right,

1077
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 3: I can't be like straight back with my head.

1078
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 2: I got these.

1079
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 3: Pillows, huge throw pillows, huge, got a couple of them.

1080
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 3: Like I'm basically it's like I'm in a chair. But

1081
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 3: it's my bet. But I do like the Bluetooth air

1082
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 3: pods in linked with the TV, just like keeps me.

1083
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 2: More engaging on TV.

1084
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 3: My wife's lying asleep right beside me.

1085
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 2: I just all I assumed you were like on phone.

1086
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: No no, no.

1087
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: No, bright.

1088
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 3: She wears uh my mask.

1089
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: Cool, but yeah, give her free fleas glasses. Those are

1090
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: some shades.

1091
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: Zandler also in attendance.

1092
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 3: Oh very neon neon zip up or whatever that was.

1093
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 2: He had great though I thought. I mean, obviously the

1094
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 2: neon was quite vibrant, but uh, not a lot of

1095
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 2: gray for Adam Sandler. That's a guy you would think

1096
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 2: would be going gray already, but he's not.

1097
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: And uh for chick celebrity fans up, I guess. So,

1098
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 3: speaking of celebrity fans, just to back to uh, to

1099
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 3: go back to MSG game four. Did you see that

1100
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 3: Pete Davidson is now dating John Stewart.

1101
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: Because they're sitting beside each other.

1102
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 3: I stole that joke from the internet.

1103
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 1: I saw it on Twitter.

1104
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 2: I left.

1105
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 3: Game previews tonight. We got three game fives and they

1106
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 3: could all end tonight. Hawks in Boston that one, seven

1107
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 3: thirty on TNT Boston up three one, obviously, Wolves in Denver,

1108
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: that's your NBA TV game. Denver leads at three one.

1109
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 3: They could finish it off and the Clippers at Suns

1110
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 3: ten o'clock T and T Suns up three to one.

1111
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 3: Which series, actually, you know what rank them? Series most

1112
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: likely to end tonight to maybe being extended to another

1113
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 3: game six?

1114
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: Task get started ending tonight? Yeah, Nuggets, Wolves, it's over

1115
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: for NBA TV. I'm gonna be listening to Matt Winer

1116
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: and Brendan Haywood. If that's who's on the call, I'm

1117
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: guessing this series took a bit of it.

1118
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 3: I believe they've given it to doesn't Grant Hill and

1119
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 3: Spirou have that one. I guess they switch it up,

1120
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 3: but I feel like they could let them.

1121
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there are Yeah, you're right, because you're totally

1122
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: because Winer and Haywood did the NBA TV game for

1123
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: Clippers sons y and I know that, and I know

1124
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: that because Winer said Chris Paul took a serpentine route

1125
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: to get to the elbow, and this series, the Nuggets

1126
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: series took a serpentine root to get to five games.

1127
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 3: But they could have a this could be a gentleman

1128
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 3: win here tonight, a gentlemen sweep see the Nuggets. Yeah, okay, okay, First,

1129
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 3: that's done. And what about the other two? You believe

1130
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 3: a little bit more in the in the Hawks and

1131
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 3: the Clips.

1132
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: No, No, the Hawks are done. But I do believe

1133
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: in the Clippers. Just summon to that fight. They've shown

1134
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: fight again through four games without their stars and no

1135
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: Kauai again. Yeah, it's difficult to say that it's going

1136
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: to go on, but I do have belief in their fight.

1137
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: Tyler's teams will not lay down.

1138
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 3: I would rank it though, Celtics most likely to win

1139
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 3: Game five tonight. Then I'll go Nuggets, but it's very

1140
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 3: tight one too, And then I'll go Suns, but I

1141
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 3: actually think I'll three wrap up tonight.

1142
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of agree with you. I had to

1143
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: change the question to which series is most likely to

1144
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 2: be extended? Yeah, because that, I mean, maybe you can

1145
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 2: make a pitch which seems most realistic here the Celtics

1146
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: don't shoot forty percent from three. They've shot forty percent

1147
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 2: from three in every game so far, and the best

1148
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: perimeter defender for Atlanta will not be playing tonight. You

1149
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: could have a cold shooting night, though it happens. How

1150
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 2: about Anthony Edwards goes for fifty and we get a

1151
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: good game from Karl Anthony Towns.

1152
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 3: I like, yeah.

1153
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 2: Edwards has been rolled.

1154
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 3: Squint and see it. Yeah.

1155
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: Or the Clippers could hit twenty threes and the Suns

1156
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: hit seven. That seems most likely to me, like of

1157
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 2: those three scenarios, the Clippers getting hot from three. They

1158
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 2: have played solid against the Suns. They're just obviously out

1159
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 2: a talent deficit with no Kawhi no Paul George, but

1160
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,959
Speaker 2: they like the math, they like to shoot threes, and

1161
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 2: perhaps they could get hot. So I guess, I guess

1162
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 2: I think the Clippers are most likely to extend the series.

1163
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 2: But I'm with you, Skeetz, I think it's three jovers tonight.

1164
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 3: Okay, let's hear from everybody out there in the stream

1165
