41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,640

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: It was like, Oh, I get to tell everyone what

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: I'm starting the aka Mike.

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760

Speaker 5: I need something.

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like Josh, would you agree that there's

49
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: like a healthy vent diagram overlap between Hispanic people and

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: Italian people from New.

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: York at one thousand percent. We're so similar it's it's

52
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 6: absurd how similar we are. I mean, Spannon Elley are

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 6: right next to each other, so it's basically the same.

54
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 6: You think about it.

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: That's how that's a that's a good point, all right.

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 4: The fucking Timberwolves did it.

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like John, we were looking at John right,

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: they said we wouldn't do it.

59
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: I agree.

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna even do that, Bro, But I did

61
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: say Game seven, I feel like it was repeatable.

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: It wasn't the same, But I think that defense bro

64
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: different different, different, different, and also ant.

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: At the top of the key is the difference making

66
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: to me.

67
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: Ant giving them all like Bro Murray, the first half

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: and second half totally different player because Aunt put that

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: heat them. When they ratchet that defense up, it's it's

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's impossible to beat them, but they

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: make it extremely difficult. And we just saw that man

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: snatch their head at a motherfucking MVP, right the fucking

73
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: that's Bro.

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: So fucking excited.

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Bro, this is I haven't been a society about basketball

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: in what since twenty sixteen, throughout the seventeen before.

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: We talk about the actual game. That's what I want

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: to talk about, because you and I said the same

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: thing when we hopped on I have friends who are

80
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say falling away from basketball, but they're much

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: more heavily. It was like fifty percent football, fifty percent basketball.

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 4: They're falling towards football. I do think the europe the europitization,

83
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: I do think that has something to do with it.

84
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 4: And we talked about that with Meryl. You know, I

85
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 4: have an argument in seventh grade about Jokic. Bro, with

86
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 4: your friends. You know, you're just not You could love

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: seeing and play all this other stuff. But I have

88
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: people texting me with emotion like you said. That was

89
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: emotion we saw and felt for bron versus Steph, not

90
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: for Jokich versions whatever else. And I feel like Aunt

91
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 4: being the guy that everyone wants, we all want to

92
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: be the face of the league has a lot to

93
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: do with that. But tell me about what Adrian was

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 4: saying to you. Tell me about how you felt watching

95
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: the Timberwolves snatch this shit back for for real American basketball.

96
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: As a dude who watches just because I love the game,

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: I haven't been that excited personally.

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: Agent will hit me up with highlight. He's been watching

99
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: hes talking about all his friends talking about it.

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: Two but he said, I know this playoffs is good

101
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: because my best friend John is calling me talking about it,

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: and I know he watches all the games, but he

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: never hits anybody up to talk about outside of the podcast.

104
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: Like I really am enjoying it.

105
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: And I think the thing is it's Aunt, bro, Like

106
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: we when is when's the last time we saw a

107
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: player that was that good and that relatable and that

108
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: ship When he said, I told him, motherfucker Senior in

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: game seven told Chuck bring your ass. That's how my

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: niggas talk, bro, And we don't see people like like

111
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: Brian KT all these guys, you know, what I mean,

112
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Like they're so media trained, aunt doesn't give a fuck.

113
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: He's so relatable and he's too he just wanted me

114
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: over I like I was. I tweeted last game, I

115
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: say I need a jersey because I just.

116
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: Like who he is.

117
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: And on top of he's a great fucking basketball player, bro,

118
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like he he is something special. And to

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: see him in a game seven struggle in the first half,

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, pick it up a little

121
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: bit in it, like it kind of figured out in

122
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: the in the in the third quarter, and then like

123
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: he's like, how I can really get shit doing this

124
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: on the defensive end?

125
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: You feel me?

126
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: And like I was telling I was talking to talking

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: to Josh about this shit. Like like when people talk

128
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: about getting a rhythm when you're playing, your best basketball

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: is jazz, you know what I mean, You can't. You

130
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: have to feel it when you when you're playing, when

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: you when you get in the rhythm, you have to

132
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: feel it, you know what I mean. If you're counting

133
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: your steps on something and five and six and seven,

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: that's not You're not gonna be at your best, you

135
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And that's what he did to

136
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: Murray Murray was in a rhythm. He was playing like

137
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: he was he was he was Miles Davis with the

138
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: motherfucking trump, you know what I mean, And and put

139
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: that heat on his ass and made him think he

140
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: was counting his steps instead of just playing and getting

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: the feeling.

142
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I think there was.

143
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: One other really relatable moment that you that you mentioned,

144
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: like he you saw him talking shit to that old

145
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 4: old man sitting courtside after he hit the three. He's

146
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 4: a it's an old man who was like ah, and

Speaker 4: he's looking like where are you at? Where are you at?

148
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: And then he threw he threw a little something else.

149
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: I can't say. At the end of it.

150
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: Two he called it in work, But what what what

00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: a dude who is Damnar twenty years younger than me,

316
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: to have me this connected to the game, I mean,

317
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: he's just he's just special. He is special, special, special,

318
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: and and you know, and and hats off to the Nuggets,

319
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: great basketball team. They fall hard. Bro, I thought they

320
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: was gonna cook these boys. How they saw it off? Yeah,

321
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: but that that Timberwolves defense they.

322
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: When is you seen like everybody can fucking lock up.

323
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: The defensive player of the Year is a dude that

324
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: was we see to be food more than other players.

325
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: Was just crazy, right, you know what I mean?

326
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: But he played really well on the fourth he played,

327
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: he played physical, period and he played. Yeah. Absolutely, But

328
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: at the real you got the defending champs at home

329
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: and place, a place they have a pretty historically strong

330
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: home court advantage. You held them to thirty seven points

331
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: in the second half, and bro half, you you held

332
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: you had. This is a stat everywhere everyone should be

333
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: talking about tomorrow. Yo Kitchen Murray combined for sixty nine

334
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: of the ninety points that the Nuggets scored tonight because

335
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: of what you just said, everyone's getting locked up. They're

336
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 4: not just focused on we got to get the ball

337
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: out of his hands. It's he's locked up too. Then

338
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 4: locked up too and for twelve Yeah, one of six.

339
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: Joker, what the good one that Nigga locked up?

340
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: Yo kit six of twenty two from three tonight. They

341
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: did score thirty four and thirty five points, but six

342
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 4: to twenty two from three.

343
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: When it mattered, they had to heat on them.

344
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: And the thing about playing that type of defense, it's

345
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: I think the reason like they have halves like that,

346
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: it is we saw it with the Lakers. We talked

347
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: about how the Lakers they started off with a defense.

348
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: It's hard to play basketball that way we're like.

349
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: The defense is what gets you going.

350
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: Where you're standing up guys like the Nuggets, like where

351
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: they have their deep offensive right and you are on

352
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: locked in on everybody.

353
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: It's hard to play basketball like that.

354
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: But when they decide to lock in, Bro, that is

355
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: one of the like I've never like one through six,

356
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: just solid, solid, solid, elite defensive defenders.

357
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: It's just, Bro, It's it's special. It's special. But I

358
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: just I'm happy to be here, my nigga. That's where

359
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm at with it. Just happy to be here, Bro,

360
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be able to watch this.

361
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: Bro, I think we saw the beginning of something special,

362
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: and it feels like just the beginning, you know what

363
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: I mean.

364
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: I couldn't agree with that more. I also think you

365
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: talk about a defensive team. The part that's craziest to

366
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: me was they were down. I want to make sure

367
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 4: I have the numbers exactly right.

368
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: Fifteen It was fifty three one point fifty three to

369
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: thirty eight.

370
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: Now you tell me another sport where you think a

371
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 4: defense first team has a shot in that scenario. If football,

372
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: you're a defense, if you're a defense first team, you're down. Sorry,

373
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 4: that's not that was not the way the game plan

374
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 4: worked for you, Right, they walk their ass down, they're

375
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: down fifteen, to have faith in their defense to just

376
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: chip away at it, chip away at it, chip away

377
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 4: to get down by one going into the fourth quarter.

378
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, John, when I really felt

379
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: like I knew we were gonna have a special one

380
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: was Go Bear hits that hits that first bucket, that

381
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: accident almost accidental.

382
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: Go ahead, buse talking. That's that foreshadow.

383
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: And we talked about that's that fore shadow we talked about,

384
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: brom go.

385
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 6: The chat also wants you to apologize to Go Bear

386
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 6: right now, they're begging for it.

387
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: All right. I am not going to apologize to Go Bear.

388
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: Here's the here's the lane I'm gonna split. I'm not

389
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: gonna apologize to him, but I am gonna say that

390
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 4: I was wrong. How about that? Does that work?

391
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: This is the opposite of who you are, though, Like

392
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: I know, sorry, let that go.

393
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: I'll let you know.

394
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: Okay, put the put that up, put the pole up

395
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 4: on that. If they'll accept that or not.

396
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll say this.

397
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: The thing that I find fascinating about Rudy Gobert and

398
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: today he plays so well in the fourth quarter that

399
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 4: I'll move him from infuriating to fascinating in the way

400
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: that my brain is that he's always and he's always

401
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 4: playing it in extreme There's not a lot of plays

402
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: that he's involved in defensively or offensively that are boring

403
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 4: normal plays. There's not a lot of pass into Rudigo Beert,

404
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 4: pass out to someone who misses a three pointer. It's

405
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: if they give him the ball, something fucking weird in

406
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 4: one direction or another is happening. And it's the same

407
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 4: thing when he gets involved defensively. It's not a lot

408
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 4: of he's hedging on a pick and roll and they

409
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 4: kick out. It's guys feel compelled to attack him. And

410
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: then sometimes something really cool happens. And sometimes Jokich, I

411
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 4: mean two minutes before he started the fourth quarter, that

412
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 4: was unbelievable. Jokich hit that man and his body disintegrated.

413
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: He just stopped existing on the mortal plane for thirty

414
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 4: full seconds before he picked himself up off the floor.

415
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: So like he is both of those players, and that's

416
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: what makes him fat fat. Like I said, he's fascinating

417
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 4: to me at this point because he did he and

418
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 4: I did not think based on what we've seen from him,

419
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: even in the playoffs. I didn't think he had it

420
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 4: in him to nut up the way he did in

421
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. But he I'm giving him all the

422
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: credit for the fourth quarter. He turned his shit around.

423
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: He played an unbelievable fourth quarter. I'm not gonna apologize

424
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: for that. Man, I don't have that in my spirit.

425
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: But he prayed to the fucking frog or the Eiffel

426
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: Tower or whatever he needed to do before that fourth quarter,

427
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: and he went out and played twelve unbelievable minutes of

428
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: basketball or eight until he foiled out whatever it was.

429
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: I mean, like the philosophy change, like we said, when

430
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: he's off, when he's off, joker, it's it's a much

431
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: better situation, you know what I mean. But like on

432
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: the offensive end, like I said, those free how many

433
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: was he seven?

434
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: Three? How many seven? Three bigs?

435
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: Or you know, are you confident in touched up, clutched

436
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: up bro and buzer beater? You know the little you know,

437
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: the little the shot clock, you know what I'm saying. Like,

438
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa if we had some And it's the thing,

439
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at Gobert if he just stays out

440
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: the way, and I think he knew when to get

441
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: involved in the state of funk out the way, don't

442
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: clog the lane up. N he knew how to figure

443
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: that out, you know what I'm saying. Hello, the biggest

444
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 2: quarter of maybe the Timberwolves potential his I mean, one

445
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: of the biggest quarters in the history of the of

446
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: the franchise, and he played great. Can't take it away

447
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: from him.

448
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: Well, and I we gotta give we got to talk

449
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 4: a little bit about nas Reed as well. I mean,

450
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: nas Reed coming out a sixth Man of the Year

451
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: for a reason, because, like you said, they put him

452
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: on your kitch. You could see your kitch almost like

453
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: like you know when you're playing basketball and the dude

454
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 4: you don't want to be guarding you as on you. You

455
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, That's what he was.

456
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: Like he tightened up for sure, for sure, and like

457
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: the dude, like we talked about this littlely before, we're

458
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: like in free agency, nobody was really stressing nods Like

459
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: he wasn't getting thirty.

460
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: What's up, Claire, what's up? Claire fair favorite, what's up? Man?

Speaker 3: How you feeling?

462
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 8: I don't even First of all, that game was incredible

463
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 8: but I feel like I've been both right and wrong

464
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 8: like seven different times in the past week.

465
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 9: So I don't even know.

466
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: I can't your opinion of your opinion of Rudy Gobert

467
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 4: in this moment is what we were just talking about.

468
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 8: Okay, So that that I feel good about. That I

469
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 8: feel good about I feel solid. I feel like I

470
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 8: was right generally speaking. He did get out of his

471
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 8: own way in the second half.

472
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: Which is literally what John just said.

473
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 8: Because we're simpatigo, you feel me locked in. But yeah,

474
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 8: he got out of his own way in the second half.

475
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 8: But I still do feel pretty like I don't feel

476
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 8: like we were wrong about him overall, because that her

477
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 8: first half performance is the reason, in my opinion, they

478
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 8: were down. They had to claw out of that deficit.

479
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 8: But maybe they work well when they're clawing out of

480
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 8: a deficit. Like I don't even know what to believe anymore.

481
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 8: Is that why they won the game? Because they got

482
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 8: galvanized at halftime from the huge deficit?

483
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 9: Like what is up? What is down?

484
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: I think something that because we were just about to

485
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: sort of finish talking about Anthony Edwards, just something I

486
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 4: want to say that I thought was so impressive was

487
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 4: you know, they surprised him with the like it was

488
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: sort of I felt like it was a two full

489
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 4: defensive strategy. They're going to blitz and double Aunt every

490
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: time he touches the ball, and then they're gonna let

491
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: Rudy post up on someone that it looks like it's

492
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: easy for him to post up on because they trust

493
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 4: that he's not going to do something good with the ball. Yeah,

494
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: and it felt like it took Aunt a full half

495
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: to kind of adjust to, Okay, I need to see

496
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: the game different. I need to be positioned different, I

497
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: need to run the offense differently. And you can see

498
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 4: that's not a great part of his game yet when

499
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 4: he was kicking out like he's maybe making the right read,

500
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: but people are catching that ball at their shoes or

501
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 4: they're catching it way above their head. They're not It's

502
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 4: not like bron passing out of a double where.

503
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: It's like a shooting didn't right in their pocket right.

504
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 4: But he figured it out within the game seven. It

505
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: wasn't a lesson learned. Next year he comes back there,

506
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 4: and that to me was what was so impressive. It's

507
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 4: game seven on the road and he was able to

508
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 4: make that adjustment and figure that out within the game

509
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 4: to still do enough.

510
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: To lead his team to a victory.

511
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: That's the ship. To do that at twenty two against

512
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 4: the defending Nationals, like the defending champ that's crazy to me.

513
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was so impressive to watch him sort of

514
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 8: figure that out in real time because, like you said,

515
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 8: he was struggling so much with that double team at first,

516
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 8: and also to have the poise to be like, even

517
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 8: if I don't have it, we're in it, and to

518
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 8: be telling his teammates that on the bench. It kind

519
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 8: of just speaks to what we were talking about last time,

520
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 8: about that maturity and yeah, just his leadership it was.

521
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 8: It was really incredible. Also, like shout out to Carl

522
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 8: Anthony Twe have been extremely critical of him, uh and

523
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 8: I think he just deserved all the criticism that he's

524
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 8: been given. He makes, you know, more boneheaded plays sometimes

525
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 8: it feels like than like anybody in the league. But

526
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 8: he was incredible tonight and he needs all the praise

527
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 8: in the world because they absolutely do not win that

528
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 8: game without him, like, not even close. Obviously it was

529
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 8: an entire team effort, but I think he was he

530
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 8: was the difference maker. Tonight and he's the reason they're

531
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 8: in the conference finals, So shout out to him for sure.

532
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: I think one thing too, is on the offense when

533
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 2: when can't get going, they kind of rush things. Like

534
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: we talked about how you know, like if he passes

535
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: it off and the ball comes back to him, that

536
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: when he ball comes back, the double team is in

537
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: his tough you know what I mean, So just get

538
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: the ball back to him. Also, one thing, he'll pass

539
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: off and he won't move. It'll be like a couple

540
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 2: passes and they'll shoot it. They don't move the ball.

541
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: They started slowing down a little bit and getting the

542
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: shots they wanted. They weren't just taking what was accepted,

543
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. They were more patient as

544
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: a whole on the offensive end, which helped. But also

545
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: those you know, the d just ratcheting it up and

546
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: them getting those you know, you know, runaway dunks, yeah,

547
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: you know, didn't help out.

548
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 3: I felt like they.

549
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: All in the biggest moment calmed down. Hit him with

550
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 2: the wolves son, like, bro, let's just play ball. How

551
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: we play ball, And it seemed like everybody calmed down.

552
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 2: It seemed like it was the opposite on the people

553
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 2: who had already been there in the Nuggets. It's like

554
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: they were pressing, pressing, pressing, pressing, And that's what's crazy too.

555
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: And we know we talked about like they've been here

556
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: before and it looked the opposite, which is interesting, but man,

557
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: it really did.

558
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 8: That was what was so interesting. Especially, I feel like

559
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 8: I knew the Wolves were gonna win. I sound like

560
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 8: Lebron I knew three years ago, you know.

561
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 9: What I feel like.

562
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 8: I feel like in the third in the third quarter,

563
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 8: in the third quarter is when it was really like, oh,

564
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 8: the Wolves are gonna win this game, because Jokic had

565
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 8: that sort of panic rushed look to him like he

566
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 8: did in games one and two, and we hadn't seen

567
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 8: that kind of rushed like tilted off his axis version

568
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 8: of Yokic since those games. I felt like even in

569
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 8: the even in Game six, where you know the Wolves

570
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 8: were blowing them out of the water, Yokic kind of

571
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 8: he seemed like he for the most partly kept his composure.

572
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 8: And this version of Jokic was the version from game two.

573
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 8: In game one, I thought, where he kind of just

574
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 8: looked like he got rushed and he got rushed out

575
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 8: of his normal game.

576
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 9: And when Yokic.

577
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 8: Loses his composure. It's like the Nuggets go as he goes.

578
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 8: So the second he loses his composure, I don't really

579
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 8: feel like there's anyone on that team who can like

580
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 8: study the ship, like he's kind of the guy that

581
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 8: does it.

582
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, like he looked tired too.

583
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: He looked really tired, which I talked about, Yeah, we

584
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: talked about like before. Yeah, we talked about four where

585
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: he he'll dropped a thirty he dropped thirty six and

586
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: twenty and like he's not even breathing deep, like he's

587
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: like he just played an extra quarter it seems like sometimes.

588
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: And he looked tired, and I think that defense was

589
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: that had real tire. But yeah, that Yeah, he did

590
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: look rushed. And there was a moment in that third

591
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: quarter when that they the wolves are still down, and

592
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: you saw a look on Anthony Edward's face, Well not

593
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: this one.

594
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: I was like they might do it where it.

595
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: Didn't look like whol guy in he looked like you.

596
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember Mike when he was

597
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: and he looked like it's time to fucking go, Like

598
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: it was a little bit of like angst, like we

599
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: got it, like it's time to fucking go.

600
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 4: And it's like I think, like Conley hit a corner

601
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 4: three when he was on the bench and they cut

602
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: to him as he was saying, we're back in it,

603
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 4: and like he had this look in his eyes.

604
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: It was it was it was like it's this is

605
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: the time. You know what I mean?

606
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 4: Right now?

607
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: Now you know what I mean?

608
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: And so that's when I was like, oh, like did

609
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 2: he's he's even when it was getting cooked in certain games,

610
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: he looked, hella, chill, like we'll be aye. At this point,

611
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: it was like, yo, we need to we need to

612
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: do this now. We don't do it now. It's just

613
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 2: it's interesting to see him have that energy and they'd

614
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: go out there to play the way he did after

615
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: having that bad you know first happened you know you

616
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: two and a half quarters or whatever.

617
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: But anyway, and speaking.

618
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 8: Of Mike Conley, I don't know if you guys touched

619
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 8: on him already, but like he was so determined, like

620
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 8: it was so clear, like he was to me you

621
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 8: know that he's he's that sort of missing piece for

622
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 8: that team that took them from like the ceiling that

623
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 8: they had from Ant's potential last year. To now when

624
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 8: they made that trade for him. Ever since that trade,

625
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 8: I feel like that's when they've had that sort of

626
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 8: championship ceiling because he is that steadying force right like

627
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 8: that we were talking about that Yokic isn't like when

628
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 8: Yokic isn't for the Nuggets, they don't have one like

629
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 8: he is that for the Wolves. And he seemed so

630
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 8: incredibly determined in that second half, and it was like

631
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 8: so inspiring to see, Like there was that one moment

632
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 8: where he almost created the turnover and then he dove

633
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 8: on the ground for that loose ball and there were

634
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 8: two Nuggets trying to wrestle him for the loose ball,

635
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 8: and he just like his entire body was just like

636
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 8: wrapped around the ball and he was just like shaking

637
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 8: his head no, And it was just like that grit

638
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 8: and that determination, Like who could you possibly be happier

639
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 8: for than Mike Conley in this moment, Like nobody deserves

640
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 8: this more. He's the most universally beloved NBA player I've

641
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 8: ever seen, Like I've never heard in all my years

642
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 8: of working in the league a bad word about him,

643
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: and it's just so cool to see him have this

644
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 8: moment you're right.

645
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: Everybody I know that knows him, everybody I know that

646
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: knows him personally too, talks about how kind he.

647
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: Is when they met him.

648
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, side of basketball on the golf course

649
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: type shit.

650
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. He's a guy.

651
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: You had a bad ball, He's like it opened was

652
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: up down there, even if it doesn't, Like he's just

653
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: very positive, you know what I mean.

654
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can tell, like you know, that's how he.

655
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: Plays basketball as well, like it opens up down there,

656
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: like he's just hoping you haven't lost your.

657
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: Ball, like you'll be all right, you know what I mean.

658
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: But he has that set energy for sure.

659
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: I love the Johnny Times insight.

660
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: And shows up at some point, at some point.

661
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 9: It's incredible.

662
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: I have my first unreleased dragonfly Jones tweet. So Claire

663
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 4: tweeted the video that I played for John of Aunt

664
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: telling Chuck bring you Ass. Tyler said, whenever I'm talking

665
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: to somebody about how we should kick it and they

666
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 4: tell me bring you ass, I already know they're my

667
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 4: type of people.

668
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 8: Fact, dude, He's just one amazing quote after another, like

669
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 8: it's a bottomless well, Like I just, oh my god.

670
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 9: I love aunt so much.

671
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 8: I love that kid more every single day, And like

672
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 8: you just knew that post game was gonna be amazing,

673
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 8: Like you just like it's like, oh, Anthony Edwards our

674
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 8: second postgame and it's like, cool, what quote that's going

675
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 8: to be etched into the history books of the NBA?

676
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 8: Are we going to get in this one? Because like

677
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 8: there's just a different one every time.

678
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: Well, and he understands the promotional aspect of it, which like, yeah,

679
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 4: we've talked about the pluses and minuses on this show

680
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: of how like a lot of these guys correctly see

681
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: themselves as like Fortune five hundred companies that have a

682
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 4: partnership with the NBA, right, and An understands the like, no,

683
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: we got to like really sell this. And so for

684
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: him when they said what are your first thoughts on

685
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 4: the MAVs to say I'm guarding Kyrie, It's like, who's

686
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: not immediately like Okay, what days of the week are

687
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: that series going to? Be? Honest?

688
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: Need needs good.

689
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: But I think his relatability, him being normal is his superpower.

690
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: Like you know, he's obviously great basketball player. That's he

691
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: has to play a basketball people to care obviously, right, Yeah,

692
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: But like him being relatable, like his his relatability is

693
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: his superpower. Like he responds like normal people would respond,

694
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: like like he's not a fortune five hundred company in

695
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 2: his head. You know what I'm saying, He's not a brand.

696
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: He's just ant. He's being himself. And I love that,

697
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Like like you bring your ass is probably what he

698
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: says when he's at home with his homies, you know

699
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: what I mean. I told him, motherfucking see you Game seven.

700
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: That's what he probably say we's on the phone with

701
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 2: his uncle or his cousins.

702
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like I love that about it.

703
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: I just truly truly loved that about it. He's a special special.

704
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 8: He's so unapologetically himself like it is. It's it's really

705
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 8: beautiful to see. And to your point, like in a

706
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 8: in an era of NBA players where they do all

707
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 8: have kind of their own brands, their own like podcast,

708
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 8: social media stuff, whatever, it does feel like a lot

709
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 8: of them are so heavily media trained now and they're

710
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 8: so guarded and they have like all these canned answers

711
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 8: to every question and is just someone like he's he's

712
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 8: so authentic that that just really shines through, even more

713
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 8: so when he's surrounded by all these guys that are

714
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 8: so calculated.

715
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: On We've all had a difficult time buying tickets. Lakers

716
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 4: games are expensive, but I try and find games to

717
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 4: take my son Vinnie too. It's hard to find good deals,

718
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 4: especially at the last minute.

719
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: You should have to worry when you buy tickets to

720
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: your next big event. Game Time is the fast and

721
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: easy way to buy tickets for all the sports, music, comedy,

722
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: and theater events near you.

723
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 4: The Lakers have a ton of home games the remainder

724
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 4: of the year. I liked it. In the game Time app,

725
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 4: they have last minute tickets. You can see views from

726

738
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: Game seven we had today. We also had the Pacers

739
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 4: meeting the Knicks. John and Claire and I are gonna

740
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: break it down, but first, as I mentioned, our producer,

741
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: Josh Rodriguez is a New York, a New York native,

742
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: a huge Knicks fan, and sorry, Josh, I know that

743
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: Chat loves seeing us miserable. So Josh, what are your

744
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: thoughts on on Game seven and what felt like a

745
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: like once in a lifetime missed opportunity for the Knicks

746
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 4: win Game seven at home Eastern Conference Finals with the Celtics,

747
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: like everything you have kind of been wanting to get

748
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 4: back to.

749
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 6: So what was your takeaway from the game From I

750
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: as a Nick fan, It's just been kind of frustrating

751
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 6: because you lose Julius going into the playoffs, and then

752
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 6: you don't have Mitch to start the series because he

753
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 6: gets hurt, well he gets hurt last playoff series and

754
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 6: Og goes down, and it got to the point where

755
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 6: it was just kind of like the writing was on

756
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 6: the wall where it's like, all right, this is just

757
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 6: not our year.

758
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 5: It's just how was it going to end?

759
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 6: And I think the most frustrating thing about everything is,

760
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 6: I said this before last episode. I think the Pacers

761
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 6: like horror a playoff team. I think they suck. Like

762
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 6: there's no way they should be in the Eastern Conference Finals.

763
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 6: They don't deserve to be the Eastern Conference Finals. They

764
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 6: played a Bucks team without Giannis. Dean was hurt, Chris

765
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 6: Middleton was practically playing on one leg, and then you

766
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 6: get a Knicks team that's basically missing half of the rotation.

767
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 5: So as a Nick fan, it just kind of hurts

768
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 5: to lose to a team like that.

769
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 6: But at the same time, there's a lot of optimism,

770
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 6: you know, I'm not taking it too hard. I think

771
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 6: the Knicks now have like a two to four window

772
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 6: where you can literally say, hey, this team can go

773
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: to the finals and maybe win one, you know, given

774
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 6: the circumstances that they you know, fall correctly the way

775
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 6: that they can. So, I mean, it's it's bittersqueeen because

776
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 6: it was one of my most favorite Nick teams of

777
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 6: all time. It was a fun team to root for. Yeah,

778
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 6: but you know it was over. I think the Riotings

779
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 6: were on the wall like once og went down, like

780
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 6: that was it. It was just like, I don't know,

781
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 6: there's just no way.

782
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: Do you have concerns over a former Bulls fan who

783
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 4: tweeted the following Kibbs era one tis This is from

784
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 4: uh excuse me, this is from Flows and Dealini Tibbs

785
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 4: Era one. Tibbs changes the culture. Players embrace hard work. Two,

786
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 4: players perform and beyond expectations. Three, A star is born

787
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 4: or brought over. Four expectations form. Five A deep playoff

788
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: run is expected. Six freak injuries. Seven fans defenitives hard.

789
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 4: Eight players aren't the same next year. Nine fans turn

790
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 4: on Tibbs. Ten he's fired. These are the ten the

791
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: ten Commandments, the commandment eight.

792
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 6: Then I'm panicking yet because they're still next year, and

793
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 6: if they start they're not playing the same, then maybe listen.

794
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 5: I think there's legit concern.

795
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 6: I think there are a lot of nick fans on

796
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 6: Twitter especially who are very sensitive about this. Like if

797
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 6: you even like mentioned that this could be a problem,

798
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 6: they'll flip on you and they'll curse you out. And

799
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 6: how dare you you know, you don't say, yeah, fans

800
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 6: are so even are you talking about we're so logical,

801
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 6: and we're so intemperaries, we're enjoy to be around. But

802
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: I do think it is a fair question. It's not

803
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 6: one that I'm asking right now. Julius's injury was kind

804
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 6: of a freak injury with Amy Hadkas So to me,

805
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't. I don't want to believe

806
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 6: that's true.

807
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean.

808
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 6: There's so many good things happening right now that I

809
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 6: don't even want to believe that that's true. I don't

810
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 6: want to believe that next year around.

811
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: This John Fields conversation.

812
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 3: I mean.

813
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 4: On John's face.

814
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 3: Now, I'm looking at the injuries, you know what I mean,

815
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 3: Like a hamstring injury that happens from over exertion, you

816
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

817
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 8: Like you know what I mean, like forty eight minutes

818
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 8: a game, Yeah, that will do it.

819
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: That will do it. It's something like, yeah, this is

820
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 2: a great team. Their fun at hell to watch, and

821
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 2: they look it seems like they funk with TIBs heavily,

822
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But like that's the exactly exactly.

823
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: But it's like like you just can't run players into

824
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: the ground and expect them to play deep into the

825
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: playoffs like that, it is just very hard and the

826
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: players he's run into the ground are guards.

827
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 6: But you know what I'm saying, to be fair, the

828
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 6: tis the reason why he rand those players in the

829
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 6: ground was he had me with the choice. I mean,

830
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 6: like I said, Julius was out, which was out for

831
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 6: a long time in a lot of injuries.

832
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 8: And I slightly disagree with that though, because I think

833
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 8: it's been revealed that so one of TIBs, like hallmark

834
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 8: characteristics as a coach, is that he only trusts a

835
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 8: handful of players, which is understandable, but like we saw

836
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 8: at right, he's.

837
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 9: Mostly correct about.

838
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 8: But we saw, for example, those Alec Burks minutes in

839
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 8: the games where he had to start playing, and it's like, oh,

840
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 8: this is like a legitimate rotation player. He had twenty

841
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 8: six points to night in a close out game, Like

842
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 8: he could have been taking some of those minutes earlier

843
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 8: in this playoff run or earlier towards the end of

844
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 8: the season, and maybe you save yourself a Josh harda

845
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 8: abdominal injury, you know. So like that's the thing with

846
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 8: TIBs is I do kind of agree with Don and

847
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 8: that I think that tips teams oftentimes do have ceilings

848
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 8: as far as how far they can go because there's

849
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 8: just only so many minutes you can put on your body.

850
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 8: And I think it is that catch twenty two of

851
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 8: like he is one hundred percent of the person who's

852
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 8: going to get you across that threshold into being like

853
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 8: a capable, really good playoff team, but he's also maybe

854
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 8: not the person that can get you to that next

855
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 8: level of being like a championship contender in the sense

856
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 8: of like this team, to me should have come out

857
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 8: of the East if everybody was healthy, like I trust

858
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 8: them over the Celtics seven days a week, but they

859
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 8: didn't make it there because of the injuries. And so

860
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 8: that's that's the kind of devil's bargain with TIBs is

861
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 8: like can you ever stay healthy enough with a Tom

862
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 8: Thibodeaux coach team to even get that far?

863
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: And I think sometimes it's not necessary, like obviously, and

864
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: I'll just point it out there's injuries on every team,

865
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: like it does happen, and so it just is the

866
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 4: fact that because it's his reputation, you're going to feel

867
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: more causality with those injuries. Yea, even though there's no

868
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 4: real way to say, a hamstring strain. You know, one

869
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 4: of my hamstring strains is just because I'm old and fat,

870
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 4: not because I'm over using it. Like you just don't

871
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: know what's happening with that muscle group, right, But yeah,

872
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: I mean we've talked about the different types of NBA coach.

873
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 4: I'm a forty nine Ers fan and we had Jim

874
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 4: Harbaugh as our coach. I feel like Jim Harbor and

875
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: TIBs are very similar. Those dudes are not going to

876
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 4: be in one place for fifteen years. But like you,

877
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 4: they ramp up energy, they bring guys to a new threshold,

878
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 4: and then eventually that burns you out to some extent,

879
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 4: whether that's sort of at the organization or that core

880
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 4: group of players or whatever. And I feel like he's

881
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 4: I've been a huge fan of every team he's ever

882
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 4: coached because I love the way that they play. But

883
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 4: I do feel like there is there does come a

884
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: ceiling to it, and I hope that the Knicks haven't

885
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 4: hit it because I really love this next team. Yeah yeah,

886
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 4: not as much as Clear and Josh obviously, but but

887
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 4: but I hope it's not the end for him. It

888
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 4: was so much fun seeing the Garden going crazy. I'm

889
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say something nice about the Pacers in a second.

890
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 4: But but on the Knicks, I'm heartbroken because the Boston

891
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 4: New York Eastern Conference Final was just a like a

892
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 4: oh it was a.

893
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: Right, right.

894
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: I think apart is not in a it's I think

895
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: it's an anomaly, but I don't think it's a coincidence

896
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: that act coach team.

897
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so that's where I met with it, where

898
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 3: like we don't see teams.

899
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 2: I think the last time we saw a team fall

900
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: apart like this in the series was probably the Warriors,

901
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: you know what I.

902
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 4: Mean, just physically falling like yeah, yeah, it was just

903
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 4: like it felt like it felt like almost like a

904
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 4: like Curber enthusiasm.

905
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 2: Exactly like this is like yeah, like you know, turn

906
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 2: the injuries off on the game, bro, Like you know

907
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But it doesn't feel coincidental being you

908
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 2: know how you know tips history.

909
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's a mixture folks like Bowie got hurt

910
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 6: because he got fell on, you know, in the backboard,

911
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 6: and then tenty six ers game and Julius degree was

912
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 6: had nothing to do with fatigue. But I do think

913
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 6: you can make the argument with Josh's injury, and you

914
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 6: can make the argument OG's injury that it might have

915
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 6: been because they're running out there for forty five minutes

916
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 6: a game.

917
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to mess with your thought process

918
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: because you're like, like you said, you fall in love

919
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 4: with the team because of that identity. It's on the team,

920
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 4: So like, I can't mess I'm not going to mess

921
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 4: with you. As a fan, I thought way crazy things

922
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: than the things you're thinking.

923
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 5: Let me be happy.

924
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 8: And it was so funny too, this this next team,

925
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 8: this next team is so tenacious and so resilient that,

926
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 8: like so, I was at a Knicks bar, an incredible

927
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 8: Knicks bar in Silver Lake where it was like packed

928
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 8: to the gills, standing room only watching this game with

929
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 8: Knicks fans. And it wasn't until Jalen Brnson broke his

930
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 8: literal hand that the hope was actually lost, because it

931
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 8: was like it didn't matter that Ogi only played four minutes,

932
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 8: and it didn't matter that Josh was playing through in

933
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 8: an abdominal strain, like Mitch is gone, Julius is gone,

934
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 8: like they're dropping like flies. But the fan base always

935
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 8: kept hope just because they were so incredibly resilient. So

936
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 8: I do feel like if they had, you know, just

937
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 8: like a couple more players that tips could trust, a

938
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 8: couple more rotational players that you could trust next year,

939
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 8: that I really do think they can be right back here.

940
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 8: I don't have a ton of faith in anybody in

941
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 8: the East really, so I don't see any reason why

942
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 8: they can't make their way back. I'm team find a

943
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 8: way to get mckchil bridges if possible.

944
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 5: I love they're doing it. The Infinity Stones are coming together.

945
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm telling you Stone, I do think and obviously you

946
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 4: know Chicago is not like a small market team or something,

947
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 4: but I do think there's something to the magic of

948
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 4: the Garden. I don't know if the Knicks brand has that,

949
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 4: but playing in New York, playing in front of those fans,

950
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: there is something that hopefully, even though he does have

951
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: the reputation we've discussed within the league, hopefully that is

952
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 4: enough of an attractive that it sort of offsets that

953
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 4: because I do think who would not want to go

954
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 4: be a part of I mean, you saw what those

955
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: fans were doing for a for an Eastern Conference semi final. Yeah, Like,

956
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 4: who would not want to be a part of getting

957
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 4: that team over the hum you know, I don't know,

958
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 4: we'll see. I'm gonna quival a little bit with what

959
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 4: Josh said about the Pacers not being an Eastern Conference

960
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: Finals team in the following regard, there's been some historic

961
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: things about this team when it comes to pace. I

962
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 4: think we've been critical, and I stand by the criticism

963
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 4: because we're Anthony Edwards type people, as we discussed of

964
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 4: Tyrese Haliburton for being too passive or for his game

965
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 4: being too facilitation. First however, this is what the Pacers

966
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: did today, and this is the case for them as

967
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 4: a team that could beat the Celtics or that's worth

968
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 4: watching in the Eastern Conference Finals. All five starters between

969
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: seventeen and twenty six points. The team as a whole

970
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 4: shot sixty seven point one percent from the field, which

971
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 4: I believe is the highest field goal percentage by any

972
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 4: team in NBA playoff history, not just Game sevens, and

973
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 4: they do all that at pace. One hundred and thirty

974
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 4: points for them is not an unrepeatable thing. That is

975
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 4: just the way that their team is built to go,

976
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 4: even in the playoffs. So I'm they don't have the

977
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 4: compelling storyline of the other three teams that are in

978
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 4: the conference finals. But I do think they maybe, you know,

979
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: we talk about the likability of the thunder of the Knicks,

980
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 4: they might be the team that has the team dynamic

981
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 4: that's sort of the most appealing in that regard. You

982
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 4: guys buy or sell that. I buy that.

983
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 6: Actually, I don't hate this Pacers team. Just for the record, Actually,

984
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 6: let me call this back a little bit. Yeah, I

985
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 6: know I sound very salty right now. That's because my

986
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 6: team just lost.

987
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm angry.

988
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 4: It should be, it should be.

989
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, but they are a fun team to watch.

990
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 6: I mean, they they they're Offensically they're incredible, and defensively

991
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 6: at home they're great. I don't know what happens on

992
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 6: the roade, but defensively home they're fine. So I actually

993
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 6: think that they're going to give the Celtics a little

994
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 6: bit of a run. I think they'll probably go six

995
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 6: or like a hard five, if that makes any sense.

996
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 6: But I do think they're fun to root for. It

997
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 6: It's just, you know, right now, and Nick's just lost today,

998
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 6: so I'm just kind of feeling a little little down.

999
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 9: That was the craziest shot making I've ever seen in

1000
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 9: my scene.

1001
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think it actually literally, according to NBA history,

1002
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 8: was the craziest shot making I've ever seen in my

1003
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 8: entire life, because I think they said it was the

1004
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 8: highest field goal percentage ever in a game seven in

1005
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 8: NBA history. It was like sixty seven percent from the

1006
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 8: field by the time, all of a sudden, done so

1007
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 8: but first.

1008
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: Half something like that.

1009
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 4: The Pacers are a great example of the nd season

1010
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 4: tournament working because I've watched a dozen Pacers games this year,

1011
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 4: and normally, going into the the playoffs, I would perhaps

1012
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 4: have seen that team play one time, you know what

1013
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 4: I mean. So I do think that's their strength. John

1014
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 4: and Claire give me serious predictions. Is there any any

1015
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 4: interest in predicting a Pacers upset of the Celtics.

1016
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 8: No, but I will say I think the Pacers will

1017
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 8: get a game. To your point, I agree with you, Josh,

1018
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 8: a game, maybe two. The Celtics are good for one,

1019
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 8: get lazy and give a game away game per series,

1020
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 8: so I feel like at minimum five games. But then

1021
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 8: I could see the Pacers maybe if they have another

1022
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 8: crazy hot shooting night like that and the Celtics are

1023
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 8: not having a hot shooting night like I could see

1024
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 8: them getting two games.

1025
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 9: I don't think they're they're going to upset them, though.

1026
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 9: I think the Celtics are going to win that series.

1027
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: I think the Celtics have a bozo game and I

1028
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: think the Celtics have what we just can't hit shit game,

1029
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: you know, and I think it goes six, you know

1030
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: what I mean?

1031
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't.

1032
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: I don't actually don't think the games when the Celtics

1033
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: win will be that close. I think the game for

1034
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: the Celtics win those show that we're much better team. Yeah,

1035
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 2: but I mean I don't know, like with winning today,

1036
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: we saw Halla, but you know, we said to passive.

1037
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't passive today. I think the games that they

1038
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: wont he wasn't passed. So there was some truth to

1039
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: what we were saying with that. But yes, I mean

1040
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 2: the ball moving and ship and he's a fun He's

1041
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,959
Speaker 2: a very likable player, you know what I mean. That's

1042
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 2: what makes it frustrating when he's not going hard. It's like,

1043
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: I want you to succeed.

1044
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 3: You know. Even though I was rooting for the Knicks,

1045
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 3: I'm still wanting Halliburton to go out. You know what

1046
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: I'm saying? You know what, working well, but you see,

1047
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 3: you see the jersey, the hoodie.

1048
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 4: I hate it.

1049
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 9: I hate it.

1050
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 4: Here's here's here's my question.

1051
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 3: It's fun though.

1052
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 4: He wants he wants the villain role. And that's my question.

1053
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 3: He's goofy. I think he's too goofy to.

1054
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 9: Be, way too goofy to be.

1055
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: I don't believe him.

1056
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 9: I don't believe it at all.

1057
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 8: Like the thing is Trey Young when he was like

1058
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 8: taking on and leaning into that heel role at MSG

1059
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 8: and you know, like motioning to the crowd and stuff

1060
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 8: like that. Like Trey Young is good at being a villain,

1061
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 8: and I have respect for anyone who's willing to step

1062
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 8: into those shoes if they're.

1063
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 9: Good at doing it.

1064
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 8: The problem is Tyre's Halliburton is like I'm going to

1065
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 8: help an old lady cross the street, Like that is

1066
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 8: his vibe and.

1067
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 9: Respect and that.

1068
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: He crossed up to cross the first No.

1069
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 9: I don't believe.

1070
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 8: I think Trey would probably be like looking down at

1071
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 8: his phone texting and paying attention, probably, but no. Like so,

1072
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 8: Tyree's is just like he seems like a really good dute.

1073
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 8: He seems like a sweetheart. He seems like he has

1074
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 8: a heart of gold. That's all fine and good. If

1075
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 8: you want to be the heel to the freaking New

1076
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 8: York Knicks, you gotta be you gotta be a little

1077
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 8: like spicier than that.

1078
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 9: He's he's he's vanilla, right, Can we.

1079
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 3: Admit it all? And I think you was a villain,

1080
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

1081
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 2: So I think he's trolling the Nicks fan like Trey

1082
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: Young truly enjoyed the hate.

1083
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, And this is this is the problem in

1084
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 4: this rivalry in particular, is you're following in the footsteps

1085
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 4: of Reggie Miller, who is a true villain, who who

1086
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 4: was getting ready to call Game seven tonight and still

1087
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: went and posted on his Instagram, Yeah a picture Nick's

1088
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 4: talking shit to him, with the caption when the series changed,

1089
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson, You're a true baller, been the best player

1090
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 4: in these playoffs. But you and your boys can all

1091
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 4: heal up together on some beautiful beaches in Cancun. Please

1092
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 4: enjoy with two exclamation points that hashtag don't like ugly, but.

1093
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 9: You believe it when he does it because he's just

1094
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 9: such a hater. He's just such you know what. I

1095
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 9: hate to bring up the I don't hate you.

1096
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 8: I love to, but I apologize for bringing up the

1097
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 8: Kendrick and Drake feard intwo concurrent episodes, but it reminds

1098
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 8: me of like I was saying this about the Kendrick

1099
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 8: and Drake thing. It feels like the problem with the

1100
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 8: reason Drake was never going to win that beef is

1101
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 8: because it felt like Drake was just participating, like He's like,

1102
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 8: I'm here in this feud, so I'm going to like

1103
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 8: do my perfunctory your response and participate. Kendrick actively really

1104
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 8: hates him, and it's obvious, like he deeply in his

1105
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 8: bones and he's a hater. He was born in the hate,

1106
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 8: and you can't summon or fake hate if it doesn't

1107
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 8: live within you. And I think that's the problem is

1108
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 8: like Tyree's probably doesn't hate anybody like you know, Reggie's

1109
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 8: a hater.

1110
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 3: He's a.

1111
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: Drake didn't have enough disdain in him to really get

1112
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 2: really nasty like he needed in order to about him.

1113
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 5: And one more condescending thing to say about the Pagers.

1114
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 6: I don't believe Nicks fans actually brought up the Pacers

1115
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 6: and Halliburton.

1116
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 5: We're like, I'm equal footing, right, So, like Reggie and

1117
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 5: Trey at the time.

1118
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 6: It's like, man, these guys might be better than us,

1119
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 6: or they're at least on the same level. Nick fan,

1120
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 6: we're gonna be like, yeah, we lost that series because

1121
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 6: we're not healthy, period, like whatever.

1122
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 5: He went off like, yeah, exactly. The chat's calling him

1123
00:49:59,160 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 5: a Disney villain.

1124
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 3: Best.

1125
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 4: Disney's got some good villains.

1126
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, Disney villains used to keep me up at night.

1127
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, you can't put Tyre's Halliburton on the same category. Bro.

1128
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 4: You know Deville was skinning that's brose. Halliburton's not skinning puppies.

1129
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 4: He's not shooting Bambie's mom in the head, bro.

1130
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: Come on, was Ursula from Little Mermaid? She's still nasty.

1131
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 8: It's the difference between someone who would skin a puppy

1132
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 8: and someone who would watch that movie and cry. And

1133
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 8: that's who we're talking about. I really believe he probably

1134
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 8: cried when he watched A hundred and one dalmation him

1135
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 8: because he played amazing tonight.

1136
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's he's a dream where he's a dream.

1137
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 4: He's like a Nickelodeon villain, like a dream Works villain.

1138
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, Pixar villain.

1139
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like a Pixar villain. Yeah, that's exact, Yeah, exactly.

1140
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 4: He's like your own guilt, you know what I mean.

1141
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 5: He's like.

1142
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 4: He's like doctor Robot Nickers, you know what I mean.

1143
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 4: It's like he's a villain, but it's kind of like funny.

1144
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 4: That's the same. You're not afraid of him at any point.

1145
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 8: I saw Sweet last week that was like Terry's Halliburton

1146
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 8: is the kid that reminds the teacher they forgot to

1147
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 8: assign homework.

1148
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 4: Bro.

1149
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 3: I feel like Halliburton roots for the cops in car chasing,

1150
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

1151
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 2: Like you know, like like that's why, you know, I

1152
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: feel like because they're wrong, you know what I mean,

1153
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 2: Like we need to get these people off the street.

1154
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 9: They're never gonna let any of us in Indiana after this.

1155
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: And maybe he's you know, he's probably right in that,

1156
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 2: but who's rooting for the cops in that situation?

1157
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 4: You know, John had a beef with the whole state

1158
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 4: of Indiana.

1159
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 9: Where you were aware of that, I'm not what's the beef?

1160
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 4: When he was working at Yahoo, He's he made a

1161
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 4: video that was making fun of Indiana and it was

1162
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 4: like people literally were like, I mean it was like

Speaker 3: the cool people that hate me anyway.

1204
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 2: But dog, I could imagine some goofy ass nigga saying

00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 2: something about Saint Louis and we interview he heard about this, no,

1206
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 2: because we don't care.

1207
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 3: Somewhere did you see.

1208
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 4: The clip of Halliburton made the shot over Deuce and

1209
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 4: then did the too small but and then when Deuce

1210
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 4: turned around, he went like he was pretending to like wipe.

1211
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 8: That's why I know he's not a real hater, because

1212
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 8: you can't stand on it ten toes down. If you're

1213
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 8: want to be a hater, you have to be a

1214
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 8: hater front facing, back, facing to the side.

1215
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 3: I still like, I still like Harry's.

1216
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 5: I still like a Tyger's. Haliburton is a high school musical.

1217
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 4: Yeah there you.

1218
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's dress shoes, you know what I mean?

1219
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 4: Like I would add, like I'm not even saying this

1220
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 4: is an insult. I thought when Braun tried to be

1221
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 4: the like black head band villain in Miami, I didn't

1222
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 4: think it fit. Like it didn't work on bron either

1223
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 4: to me, you know what I mean, Like, it's just

1224
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 4: some people have that kind of energy, and some people

1225
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 4: Braun is meant to He's a community uplifted person. He's

1226
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 4: meant to dunk on someone and then run around smiling

1227
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 4: like you know what I mean. That's just that's some

1228
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 4: people's energy, and is that mixture of both energies. He

1229
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 4: is a happy person who wants to kill you, And

1230
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 4: I think that's what's so exciting. And I think that's

1231
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 4: where people the MJ comparisons make sense. To me, it's

1232
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 4: a similar energy.

1233
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 8: You can't try and pretend you're a Slytherin when you're

1234
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 8: ultimately a gryffindor you know, just sign I love.

1235
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 4: That, I love it.

1236
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 3: I love it.

1237
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 4: We could get into my Percy Jackson greater than Harry

1238
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 4: Potter takes if we want to, like really dive into it. Hey,

1239
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 4: I just read the first Percy Jackson book with my

1240
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 4: son and he do you know how he ends the

1241
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 4: first book, John to his mom's husband his stepfather was

1242
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 4: like abusing her whatever. He realizes this at the end

1243
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 4: of the book and he literally goes to his mom

1244
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 4: is like I'll kill him. Like he was like, just

1245
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 4: say the word, bro. I was like, I love this

1246
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 4: little motherfucker.

1247
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1248
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 4: That's that's real. That's real hate right there.

1249
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 3: All right, I have the hate. I won't say the

1250
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 3: other that's crazy. Yeah, all right.

1251
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 4: Tyler's he tweeted this, but he also texted, uh, this

1252
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 4: is his take on the on on the Pacers advancing.

1253
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 4: He said the Celtics have no excuses after going through

1254
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 4: a Jimmy lyst heat Cleveland, Indianapolis and then either Dallas

1255
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,479
Speaker 4: or Minnesota. If they fuck this one up, they won't

1256
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 4: ever be ship ever.

1257
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 3: I mean, is he wrong, Right, Yeah, that's exactly right.

1258
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 8: Look at least, okay, in the finals, they're going to

1259
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 8: be facing a seriously formidable opponent, whether it's I think

1260
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 8: it's gonna be the Timberrels, whether it's the Timberrels or

1261
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 8: the Mavericks.

1262
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 9: But in the East, like like you know, the.

1263
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 8: Knicks, they never even had to face the Knicks because

1264
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 8: they lost like four fifths of their starting lineup. The Bucks,

1265
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 8: you know, never had to face the Bucks because they

1266
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 8: were without Giannis and Dame. I mean like Miami was

1267
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 8: without Jimmy, Billy was without a healthy embiid.

1268
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 4: The Calves were without Donovan Mitchell or some of it.

1269
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 9: I mean it was like literally like there were no

1270
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 9: stars available in there.

1271
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 4: Didn't even get the best version of the seven, you know,

1272
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 4: of the Calves and then of the Heat and it

1273
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, so no, I totally agree with him.

1274
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 4: Let's talk for a minute about the MAVs beating the Thunder.

1275
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 4: I've made a decision regarding this Thunder team. Okay, I'm

1276
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 4: going to inherit the beef from Seattle, and it's fucked

1277
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 4: the Thunder until the SuperSonics exist again. I'm just you

1278
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 4: don't like you don't like those guys, not fuck them.

1279
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 4: I mean I like, I like, I like everybody else.

1280
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 4: The franchise that wearing the T shirts fucked the you know,

1281
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 4: all of it until they until because they stole that

1282
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 4: team bro and fuck them. That's why I.

1283
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: Don't like the clothes you wear. I don't like the

1284
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 2: shoes you have all. I don't like how you smell,

1285
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 2: how you smile, Like you hate everything.

1286
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 9: He's such a hater that he.

1287
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 8: Didn't even have hate and he just like found a reason,

1288
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 8: like he just like found a beef somebody else's beef.

1289
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I saw I have friends of mine from

1290
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 4: Seattle who who celebrate the Thunder's downfall like no other.

1291
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 4: And I just saw the tweets and I was like, yeah,

1292
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 4: this is my type of party.

1293
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 3: Brother, yeah, the Thunder.

1294
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. But I mean there's people that like they're tweeting

1295
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 4: gifts of windows closing, you know what I mean. That

1296
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 4: was like it was like, oh, they'll be back, you know,

1297
00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 4: like the window is going to be open for the

1298
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 4: next decade, just like when Kadi and.

1299
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 3: Ny tweet Oh that was just wah.

1300
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 8: I do think they'll be back, though, I really do,

1301
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 8: like because I get it, Like the West is gonna,

1302
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 8: you know, theoretically get better, you know, obviously, like Wemby

1303
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 8: will probably be elevating the Spurs. Jaw's going to come

1304
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 8: back to the Grizzlies. But also we've seen like you know,

1305
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 8: the upper echelon.

1306
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 4: Lakers are gonna get JJ Reddick and be the one.

1307
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 8: Seed exactly, you know, they're gonna they're gonna get Len

1308
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 8: another ring. No, but we just saw the Wolves, you know,

1309
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 8: upset the defending champs. Like the West is vulnerable, and

1310
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 8: it's still gonna be vulnerable, like it's very good. There's

1311
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 8: a ton of parody though, there's a ton of parody.

1312
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 9: In the West. I think there's a lot of really

1313
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 9: good teams.

1314
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 8: And I don't know if they'll get, you know, to

1315
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 8: the conference finals next year, but I think they'll be

1316
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 8: right back in the playoff mix for sure.

1317
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 2: Shay had to have a perfect season like averaging thirty

1318
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: shooting what fifty five from the field, like nearly like

1319
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 2: thirty like that was to be the one.

1320
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 8: Seed, though, and they're probably gonna get better, like they're

1321
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 8: probably gonna go find some size, and so they're probably

1322
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 8: gonna go do the stuff they should have done at

1323
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 8: the trade that line. Yeah, sure, So I think they're

1324
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 8: gonna get better. I think they're gonna move off Giddy.

1325
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 9: I think they should.

1326
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 8: I don't think he's probably not as bad as he

1327
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 8: looks right now, just because he's super miscast in that role.

1328
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 8: But like they they have a lot of improvements they

1329
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 8: can make, and they have the tools and assets to

1330
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 8: make those improvements.

1331
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 9: So I don't see why they can't be right back.

1332
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 4: Honestly, Giddy had a all time like we've been making

1333
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 4: fun of Rudy Gobert whoever, Giddy had an all time

1334
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: what the fuck are you doing moment in that In

1335
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 4: that game, he drove the lamb. I mean it was

1336
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 4: one of those like if they let a fan like,

1337
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 4: would you like to try and get a layup on

1338
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 4: an NBA said, like it was so bad, It's really terrible.

1339
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 9: You get this, dude, He was really bad that whole series.

1340
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 4: Honestly, he was, for sure, And I agree with you

1341
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 4: that he's not Like it's not necessarily that he can't

1342
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 4: be an effective player. He's just not in the right

1343
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 4: role with the pieces they brought in, and he's obviously

1344
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 4: the piece that you would not keep of those pieces

1345
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 4: that don't fit. So yeah, okay, we're gonna wrap up

1346
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 4: with our Oh Claire, this is great. You're here on

1348
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 9: We end the show with one I mean out of

1349
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 9: the context of this show, yes.

1350
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:20,440

1353
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 4: because as of tonight, here's just a short list of

1354
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 4: people or teams that have been to the Western Conference

1355
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 4: Finals more than the Clippers. LUCA has now been to

1356
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 4: more Western Conference Finals than the history of the Clippers,

1357
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 4: and the Minnesota Timberwolves, with their second Western Conference Finals appearance,

1358
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:53,080

Speaker 9: You have to go next because I needed a second.

1362
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 3: This is kind of a throwback. This has to do

1363
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 3: with bookers. Baby girls started eating them though Oh no, no,

01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: thumb in her mouth, just eating a booger.

1372
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 3: Like matter of fact, we don't do that. That's nasty work, baby,

1377
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:47,280

Speaker 3: For get a salt right here? Like she loved it.

1380
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 4: It's such a it's such a tough battle with toddlers

1381
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 4: because their taste buds only taste salt and sugar. It's

1382
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 4: the only like flavors that they can under stand.

1383
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 3: So it's like, yeah, sorry, it's a life that we live.

1390
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 5: The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

1391
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 4: But you're saying the league is bad for investigating it.

1392
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 6: Yes, Okay, let these women get their money, like this

1393
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 6: is this is great for the game. They're growing the game,

1394
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 6: they're growing the league. The city of Las Vegas decided

1395
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 6: that they want to sponsor each player and give them

1396
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 6: each from Asia Wilson to the bench last bench player

1397
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 6: one hundred thousand dollars for just as a sponsorship. And

1398
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 6: I think it's a thing. I think it's a great thing.

1399
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 6: I think it's a way that city can support the

1400
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 6: players and support the league. And he's going out there

1401
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 6: and investigating it because it might violate the salary tap somehow.

1402
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can see how it would violate the salary cap.

1403
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 6: Right, But it's not the organization paying players. That's a sponsorship.

1404
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 6: That's that's if like.

1405
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 3: Gator, if it was like Boostery with like n C

1406
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 3: double A prior to Yeah, again, I get it.

1407
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 6: By all means, it seems like they want the beat

1408
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 6: out the right way. So for me, I just I

1409
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 6: just don't think now is the time to be investigating

1410
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 6: something that like like that where where I feel like

1411
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 6: the w n b A is fighting uh relevancy in

1412
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 6: the sense where a lot of people still don't take

1413
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 6: the league seriously for whatever freaking reason, and these ladies

1414
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 6: are severely underpaid. They don't get as much as the

1415
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 6: revue shares the men do. So for me, I I

1416
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 6: just think that this is a bad look w n

1417
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 6: b A at least money.

1418
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 8: The other broke cities just need to get their paper up.

1419
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 8: Thank you broke out by Brooke Boys city is out

1420
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 8: here hating on Vegas.

1421
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think that's like, that's the tension of

1422
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 4: the w n b A though, like like we talked about,

1423
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 4: you know, the max salary in the w n b A.

1424
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 4: It's it's insane. It's not tied to actual profitability and revenue,

1425
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 4: like the league minimum is very low, and so they've

1426
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 4: always been constrained by and this is what a lot

1427
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 4: of the growing things have been coming from. The NBA

1428
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 4: always saw as like a like a like a growth initiative,

1429
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 4: but almost like a promotional thing. And the players obviously

1430
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 4: correctly see it as a competitive league of the best

1431
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 4: players in the world. And so you have this tension

1432
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 4: of the NBA, you know, I mean, it's it's amazing

1433
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 4: that the that the league started and that the NBA

1434
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 4: supported it, but they also were suppressing its growth by

1435
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 4: not treating it as a competitive professional league that you

1436
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 4: would want owners who are trying to pour money in

1437
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 4: and get into a bidding war. That's been the success

1438
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 4: formula for every American professional sports league or international too.

1439
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 4: So this is a good example. Like you said, Josh,

1440
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 4: it's like if a company has a policy of just

1441
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 4: signing every Los Angeles Laker to a one hundred thousand

1442
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 4: dollars endorsement deal, no one gives a fuck about that, right,

1443
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 4: But because because the w NBA salary double salary, it's like, yeah,

1444
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 4: I feel like it's more that they're worried about the

1445
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 4: light it's gonna shine on than any actual salary cap price.

1446
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 2: That's so true, right, WNBA related, have y'all been hearing

1447
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 2: how people talking about Kaitlyn Clark, Like, how do have

1448
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 2: y'all been people like dude just saying they need the

1449
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: w NBA.

1450
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 3: Is approaching this all wrong.

1451
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 2: The players, and they're like, basically, don't compete with her,

1452
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 2: let her drop twenty thirty a game for the first

1453
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 2: couple of years to keep I mean, we're seeing like NBA, like.

1454
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 4: Ex they've been going out of their way to beat

1455
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 4: the shit out of Kaitlyn Clark, though, Bro.

1456
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 8: The one good Caitlyn Clark take this week like it's

1457
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 8: either like they need to be easier on her or

1458
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 8: or it's like it's like, oh, she's a bus and

1459
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 8: she can't survive in the league, instead of just like

1460
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 8: there's an adjustment phase.

1461
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 9: It's normal, figure it out. Just figuring it out, she'll

1462
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 9: be fine, be fine.

1463
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: Well.

1464
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 4: I think also, like one thing about the WNBA is

1465
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 4: the disparity. But between the top team and the bottom

1466
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 4: team is there's a significant disparity, and she gets drafted

1467
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 4: by the team with the worst record. That's how the

1468
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 4: number one? How do you think they got the number one? Right? So,

1469
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 4: but it's it's sort of like the way I think

1470
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 4: it would be like if you were to say, like

1471
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 4: Wemby's the savior of the NBA, like why didn't they

1472
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 4: let him get to the playoffs? And it's like, well, no,

1473
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 4: like they want to bust his fucking ass and they

1474
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 4: want to bust Kaitlin, Like that's how this ship is

1475
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 4: supposed to work.

1476
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 3: I've never heard that though.

1477
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 2: I've never heard people saying that they shouldn't compete with

1478
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 2: a player, right, but I have never heard of That's

1479
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1480
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 8: How to be normal about this and it's embarrassing. It's

1481
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 8: just like, just watch, just let her learn how to

1482
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 8: be in the w n b A and just watch

1483
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 8: it like a normal person.

1484
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 4: Right, No, people don't know how to be normal about

1485
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 4: women's sports. I think that's exactly right. It's just like

1486
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 4: it's like, yes, it's is it a huge deal that

1487
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 4: she's in the Has her presence in the league changed

1488
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 4: things for the league or obviously, without question, it's still

1489
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 4: a competitive league. That's what's exciting about it is people

1490
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 4: wanting to beat the hell out of her and then

1491
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 4: as she gets her footing, as that team's hopefully then hurt.

1492
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Right, that's what sports are. She gets waiting for Wimby,

1493
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

1494
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,439
Speaker 4: Like, all right, Claire, you're you're a dookie butt.

1495
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 3: Of the week.

1496
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 9: My dookie butt of the week is Reggie Miller. A.

1497
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 8: Because I think it's really corny when people like I

1498
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 8: think it's corny, when just like normal fans are like,

1499
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 8: we I like, we need to do this, I need

1500
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 8: to I'm just like, dude, you didn't do anything. You

1501
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 8: weren't out there, you weren't playing whatever. So that language

1502
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 8: already pisses me off. But then Reggie trying to like

1503
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 8: take glory from the Pacers for winning this series. It's like,

1504
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 8: my guy, you haven't laid off basketball shoes in like

1505
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 8: two decades, Like just please chill. And then on top

1506
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 8: of that, he makes me listen to his blithering blathering on.

1507
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 8: He's a horrible color commentator. He shits all over a

1508
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 8: beautiful Kevin Harlan performance, and I'm just sick of him.

1509
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 8: I'm sick of Reggie Miller. I don't hate a lot

1510
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 8: of people, but if I have to think of one

1511
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 8: dooky butt of the week, that was mine.

1512
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:05,959
Speaker 4: Can I tell you the only thing I like about

1513
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 4: Reggie Miller is I love watching Kevin Harlan and I

1514
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 4: love feeling the exasperated side he's swallowing. I tweeted about

1515
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 4: that that, like, my favorite thing about Kevin Harlan is

1516
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 4: he's not given Reggie Miller a single pity laugh.

1517
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 9: That those jokes just.

1518
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 4: Like you can't hear him splat.

1519
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 3: And then today he'll give him a little space to

1520
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 3: let it.

1521
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 4: And then like you know, yr Ki, I mean, he

1522
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 4: only sat for like a minute and a half or something,

1523
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 4: but the tim got it got a run going when

1524
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 4: he was on the bench, and they had talked about

1525
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 4: that on the broadcast, and then like five minutes later,

1526
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 4: Reggie Miller's like, oh yeah, like he hasn't sad at all,

1527
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 4: and then Kevin Harlan lets him sit for a second.

1528
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 4: He's like, you know, he he did sit for a

1529
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 4: little bit, but your point stands reg you know, it's

1530
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 4: so good, oh man, just a lot of minutes.

1531
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 9: You're right, it's yeah, it's it's really painful to listen

1532
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:12,560
Speaker 9: to it.

1533
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 8: And I mean, I'm not saying that like every color

1534
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 8: commentator needs to be like a savant at it. I

1535
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 8: know it's a difficult job, but like he just stands

1536
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 8: out as being especially bad at it, and it's tough.

1537
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 3: He's not as bad as he used to be. Yeah,

1538
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 3: I'll say that.

1539
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 4: I actually, I mean it's not as bad as the

1540
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,040
