Speaker 1: take a commanding three one series leads against the Warriors,
Speaker 1: and again it was the same two guys. Julius Rader
Speaker 1: had an outstanding night thirty one points five rebounds, three assists,
Speaker 1: one steal, one block.
Speaker 2: At Man went crazy in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: He had thirty points, four rebounds, four assists, and that
Speaker 1: was enough to push them past the Steph Currlis Warriors.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I don't know what
Speaker 1: happened with Jimmy Butler tonight. He knows nine shot attempts alright,
Speaker 1: so is not nearly enough. Kaminga came to play. Kaminga
Speaker 1: gave him twenty three points off the bench. He was
Speaker 1: six to thirteen, eleven or twelve from the pre throw line.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler nine field goal attempts. Buddy Hill had more
Speaker 1: field goal attempts. Pods had more field goal attempts. Draymond
Speaker 1: Green had more field goal attempts. With stephis out. This
Speaker 1: is why you make the trade for Steph Curry. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler is supposed to win you one game minor Steph
Speaker 1: Curry OJO. That's what's supposed to have happened. And right now,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Maybe he has an injury, but nine field goal attempts.
Speaker 1: He wasn't aggressive at all. He was coming to a
Speaker 1: jump stop, passing out of it, and it did. I don't,
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't know what's going on health
Speaker 1: wise body wise. Maybe he got an injury that they're
Speaker 1: not reporting, but this effort tonight is unacceptable. Hey, to me,
Speaker 1: he looked hobble. He don't look healthy, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He don't look like he's moving right out there.
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's just like a lot of
Speaker 1: the moves that he's making they kind of scout of gold.
Speaker 1: You know, he can't get nothing from him. It's like
Speaker 1: he's looking the past. He's not he's not even yeah,
Speaker 1: to even be aggressive, to even score, because they definitely
Speaker 1: need him to put up points. But let's be honest, man,
Speaker 1: then them folks ain't got enough five power to be
Speaker 1: messed with Minnesota, not without without Curry. But here's the thing, though, Joe,
Speaker 1: who is gonna pass it to Draymond? He gonna pass
Speaker 1: it the Ponds, he gonna pass it the Tyson, Tyson, Jackson, David,
Speaker 1: he gonna pass it to a loud. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out who is he gonna pass it to
Speaker 1: that can help him get points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, if go ahead, O Joe, now
Speaker 3: age gonna say, if anything, Joe and Uncle, I really
Speaker 3: think it's something wrong with Jimmy.
Speaker 2: We know what Jimmy could do when.
Speaker 4: He takes the game over and obviously trading for him
Speaker 4: and him understanding that Steph Curry's not playing and Jimmy's
Speaker 4: one that can he can show you that load, he
Speaker 4: can put that team on his back. And the fact
Speaker 4: that he came out tonight and he wasn't as aggressive
Speaker 4: and assertive as he should be, and knowing that, listen,
Speaker 4: if we're gonna score points, he gotta come from somewhere,
Speaker 4: and it should start with me. I'm not gonna start
Speaker 4: the game facilitating now, I'm not gonna pass the ball.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do everything I.
Speaker 4: Can, knowing that the one of the one individuals on
Speaker 4: the team right now that can put the ball on
Speaker 4: the floor and score from anyone in the court is me.
Speaker 4: I mean you that can be aggressive at night. So
Speaker 4: I think there is some type of lingering issue or
Speaker 4: something going on with him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not speculate. Let's go with what we know,
Speaker 1: because that's what you always tell me, saying, Hey, it
Speaker 1: don't matter you out there on that field. Hey, I
Speaker 1: expect the effort and he was not aggressive. Kaminga was
Speaker 1: eleven to twelve from the free throw line. Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: got to the line five times. That's not nearly aggressive enough.
Speaker 1: And like you said, I mean he was getting he
Speaker 1: was minus thirty and plus minus.
Speaker 2: And remember the other night, Joe.
Speaker 1: In Game three, it was a situation where the last
Speaker 1: eight minutes and sixteen seconds he didn't.
Speaker 2: Score a bucket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the game, when the game un it could
Speaker 1: have been you know, going back and forth. He could
Speaker 1: have been teetering. That was the opportunity. Julius Randal has
Speaker 1: been great this playoff series. He had a career high
Speaker 1: thirty one points. Julius Randal twenty five point playoff games
Speaker 1: as a t Wolf. He had three of those as
Speaker 1: a nick he had won. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's more comfortable, maybe he's maybe there's more of
Speaker 1: an opportunity. It's kind of hard, but all I know
Speaker 1: is he's playing outstanding. And that's what you expect from
Speaker 1: your one two punch. You need your one two punch
Speaker 1: to be that. And then I'm gonna give some production. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me let me see what I can do to
Speaker 1: help you' all out h McDaniels, I got you ten.
Speaker 1: Mike Colley gave you eleven. Alexander Walker, I give you thirteen. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Mike Conley gave you eleven tonight. And in a situation
Speaker 1: your two big guns go off, Well, you're minus one
Speaker 1: of your big guns with the Warriors. Now the other
Speaker 1: big gun needs to go off, and that's Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: He's looking to pass the ball to the guys that's
Speaker 1: not scores. I can see if he's passing the bay,
Speaker 1: if he's passing, if it's like Brunson, who's passing the
Speaker 1: ball to Cat. Okay, I get that, Yeah, okay, Cat casting,
Speaker 1: All Star casting, all NBA player, I get that. Who
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Butler passing the ball to that we know
Speaker 1: of as scores that we think of, like you know, okay,
Speaker 1: I can see this.
Speaker 4: I mean what outside of kaminga man, that's that's damn there.
Speaker 1: Basically maybe maybe maybe he was hoping for buddy, he'll
Speaker 1: have another one of them games. Ah, hey, the listen
Speaker 1: you oh you what's up, my buddy? Yeah, my buddy, listen.
Speaker 1: They get along and but Joe, you talked about it, Joe,
Speaker 1: what they're doing they're running him out that three point line.
Speaker 2: They're not letting him fought up and shoot. Now.
Speaker 1: So he's not a guy that's gonna take you off
Speaker 1: the dribble. He's not Steph Curry, he's not Dame Liler.
Speaker 1: He's not one of these three point shooters that can
Speaker 1: pop up, hop and get up get e bit the shot.
Speaker 1: He needs a catch and shoot.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so like when all attention is on Steph, it's
Speaker 1: easy to play in that role, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you can just.
Speaker 1: Kind of hide or just you know, kind of spectator.
Speaker 1: Some grit to some degree in the ball just kind
Speaker 1: of finds you. But I think we really have to
Speaker 1: give Minnesota they credit that, Okay, oh Joe, especially random.
Speaker 1: I know Randall has heard the whispers, he's heard the whispers,
Speaker 1: and I think just throughout this whole playoffs he's been
Speaker 1: you know, he's been pretty consistent for them. He's been
Speaker 1: special for them against the Lakers, and in this round,
Speaker 1: the Warriors have no and pongustrate it because when a
Speaker 1: man doesn't really have it going on, he takes the
Speaker 1: back seat to some degree, meaning you know, he understands
Speaker 1: he's gonna get double so he just kind of absorbs
Speaker 1: that thros Adrandam and random kind of goes out and
Speaker 1: makes plays. He's not only scoring on the ball, okay Ocho,
Speaker 1: he's distributing, you know, at a at a nice factor
Speaker 1: you know for a guy his size, and he's taking
Speaker 1: advantage of the mismatches every time he making them pay it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: ju Rema had it going early. He had like nineteen
Speaker 1: points early. So he got it going early. Everybody took
Speaker 1: a back seat. But the problem that they have the
Speaker 1: Warriors have is an excuse me. The goal that t
Speaker 1: Wolves can do is that they don't have to double anybody.
Speaker 1: There's no step on the court, so I don't have
Speaker 1: to double anybody, so I don't have to scramble and
Speaker 1: lead guys wide open for wide open threes. By Hill
Speaker 1: is not getting those wide open threes that he got
Speaker 1: in the last series and he got the first game
Speaker 1: with Steph Curry was in the game. He's not getting
Speaker 1: those right. And so with that being said, now everybody's
Speaker 1: locked up.
Speaker 2: Man the man.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like dre a threat for Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert is not putting the situation that he needs somebody
Speaker 1: to come help Okay, you rather can take Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: straight up or at Matt take him straight up.
Speaker 2: And then you got McDaniel and then you got Conley.
Speaker 1: So who do we have to help off of so
Speaker 1: somebody else Ojo can get a wide open shot. Nobody
Speaker 1: because they figured that the Warriors don't have nobody who
Speaker 1: could just consistently beat them. Yeah, Draymond gonna make a
Speaker 1: couple of threes. We're gonna live with that. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna beat us. That's not gonna beat us. He gonna
Speaker 1: make What did I tell you about Joe? I say,
Speaker 1: any time dray Bond take the first two three, Oh good.
Speaker 2: I like this. I like this.
Speaker 1: I like this kind of party. Hey, you know what's funny.
Speaker 4: It's amazing to see obviously with Steph being out, and
Speaker 4: I'm sure there are other teams like this and something
Speaker 4: that I didn't even know, and I didn't learn until
Speaker 4: I started talking and watching basketball with you guys. You know,
Speaker 4: this season and now even Morris come to head with
Speaker 4: understanding that most of the players on certain teams they
Speaker 4: have weaknesses and they have strengths.
Speaker 2: So to start, like Stephanie now now is.
Speaker 4: Coming to head well, I'm looking at now, I'm noticing
Speaker 4: what God damn with step being out, I understand how
Speaker 4: much how great a player he is, but I didn't
Speaker 4: know how great he was and how he made everything
Speaker 4: else work going on around him. Because now that he's out,
Speaker 4: now you have others that the scoring is really has.
Speaker 4: The scoring is not coming from anywhere else. Jimmy Butler
Speaker 4: not playing like playoff Jimmy and Jimmy we used to
Speaker 4: seeing and now you have the rest of the supporting cast.
Speaker 4: Nobody can do anything on their own their weaknesses. Oh
Speaker 4: you know, in football you have eleven players on the
Speaker 4: field most of the time. There's certain players you can
Speaker 4: hide what they don't do well.
Speaker 2: Hide it for a little bit.
Speaker 4: Now in this playoff atmosphere with step being out, well,
Speaker 4: everybody's being explored for what they can do as opposed
Speaker 4: to what they can Yeah.
Speaker 2: But that's the problem.
Speaker 1: Is like that in any playoff series in football, if
Speaker 1: you have if you have a weakness, what does that
Speaker 1: team do They explore it? Yeah, whatever you're bad at Yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever you're bad at it come playoff time.
Speaker 2: It gets explored.
Speaker 4: The fact A small example for those in the chat
Speaker 4: that don't know basketball, like these two du look at
Speaker 4: the Chiefs and the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: The offense, the offensive line. Offense has always been a
Speaker 2: problem all year, all seedon joke.
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden the Bowl and oh my goodness,
Speaker 4: it comes ahead and it's exposed tremendously.
Speaker 2: Yep, and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: And that's now you step you got a double step, yeah,
Speaker 1: because Steph getting the ball, We're gonna try to run
Speaker 1: doubles at it. Okay, Now Buddy can catch and shoot. Okay,
Speaker 1: now they're cracks in the defense. Jimmy can get to
Speaker 1: the lane. Either you're gonna lay the ball up or
Speaker 1: you're gonna file it. Well with no step we can play.
Speaker 1: You're honest, you ain't going nowhere, because Jimmy, you're the
Speaker 1: only one that can create a shot for yourself. Draymond
Speaker 1: is really not creating a shot for himself. Buddy, he's
Speaker 1: not creating a shot for himself. I mean, who's that's
Speaker 1: gonna start line?
Speaker 2: Pod?
Speaker 1: He's okay, Tyson Jackson Davis really so me. KAMINGA cominga
Speaker 1: but coming you know, KAMINGA comes off the beach. You
Speaker 1: played thirty minutes. I'm not worried about Caban Looney and
Speaker 1: all these other guys that got in and mop up time.
Speaker 2: Gary Payton a second, that's not what he does either. Defender.
Speaker 1: Uh, he's a three and D guy. He can you know,
Speaker 1: spot up and shoot. But he's not looking to take
Speaker 1: somebody off the dribble. That's Steph.
Speaker 2: But Steph is more dangerous because so much attention is.
Speaker 1: Focused on him. Man, somebody robbing you blind over here.
Speaker 1: You look at that stealth because you know what he
Speaker 1: capable up. And they've got they robbing you blind right
Speaker 1: at your front door. They going to the front door.
Speaker 1: They got your TV, they got your refrigerator, your mic away. Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you're steering your system and you worry by step and
Speaker 1: step got his hand in his pocket and the next
Speaker 1: thing you know, like hey, who stole my EG? You'll
Speaker 1: be looking at me.
Speaker 2: The whole wow.
Speaker 1: And that's that's why Minnesota's playing the defense that they playing,
Speaker 1: you know, and switching because it takes you out of
Speaker 1: your count as that he can do if you're not switching.
Speaker 1: So they switch him playing man up man and a
Speaker 1: man defense. Mono and mono, Let's see what you got
Speaker 1: in your bag? And one don't think you can score
Speaker 1: enough points for us to have to double in anybody.
Speaker 1: And you did it, bro. They took care, they took
Speaker 1: care of business. They came to Golden stay there what
Speaker 1: they were supposed to do.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 1: You know, I know they want to get home court back,
Speaker 1: and what steph being. I mean, come on, yeah, we
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be uphill climb Joe with no steff.
Speaker 1: It's just not because the tea wards are too high power.
Speaker 1: When you got your two big guns playing the way
Speaker 1: they've been playing this whole postseason, and then you can
Speaker 1: get these other guys chipping in, it's go gonna be
Speaker 1: hard to beat them because it's hard for the Warriors
Speaker 1: to come by points. Right Because so if I got
Speaker 1: two guys going off, and we're gonna talk about this,
Speaker 1: little lady, look at the Knicks. You see how the
Speaker 1: Knicks big guns went off. Okay, we're gonna offset. We're
Speaker 1: gonna offset j T. We'll talk about him in a minute.
Speaker 1: We're gonna offset j T. We'll offset Derrick White. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Brunston go get his, and now Kat get his,
Speaker 1: and now you let Og get his. You let Michael
Speaker 1: Bridges get his. You can't overcome that somebody. So now
Speaker 1: you got Jus Randal and what you call him, combine
Speaker 1: him for sixty one. Okay, I need Jimmy that at
Speaker 1: least give me thirty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now now if he gives me that, these other
Speaker 1: guys chipping in, that helps. But when all the the
Speaker 1: leads gonna come in, she's leading score. He had twenty three.
Speaker 1: But then I got my starters, got.
Speaker 2: Fourteen five, fourteen, thirteen, eleven.
Speaker 1: If you add all that up together, that ain't sixty.
Speaker 2: Did it did?
Speaker 1: By the time I get that thirteen from the kill
Speaker 1: Alexander Walker, and I get that limb from Colin, and
Speaker 1: I get that team from McDaniel's, that's the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They put up an effort in people like, man, this
Speaker 1: is a close game. North wasn't heway from what we
Speaker 1: do see in these in this postseason. You gotta be healthy.
Speaker 1: That's why I say. You know, the West so thick,
Speaker 1: they gonna beat each other up. The East stick over there,
Speaker 1: they gonna beat each other up. So whoever come out
Speaker 1: of each conference. Man, you gotta hope you're healthy at
Speaker 1: this point. Well, I know, I know what you call.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping the Knicks will make the finals. Anybody else
Speaker 1: making the well, the Celtic is not making it. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the Knicks, because I don't know if there's anybody on
Speaker 1: the West on the West, Okay, see you the don't
Speaker 1: got no following. You ain't got no national following. Man
Speaker 1: and Man might bring some draw, but you need the Knicks.
Speaker 1: Hold On, ain't nobody else? I mean it really Indiana,
Speaker 1: hold on, you don't see them in the final.
Speaker 2: You know that it is Joe. You saw them in
Speaker 2: the finals. You remember even even with you're talking about
Speaker 2: back in the day.
Speaker 1: With shot at Kobe. Yeah, so you so and think
Speaker 1: about it. So you got to have that that that
Speaker 1: domino on the other side, Lakers shot in Kobe. You
Speaker 1: got the Knicks New York.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's funny that it sounds like sounds like the
Speaker 4: Fat Ladies singing. Uh, I mean both you know, I
Speaker 4: don't give your tune?
Speaker 2: DOESNET changed now?
Speaker 4: Because listen, when the before the series started, asked all
Speaker 4: who y'all had, y'all told me self.
Speaker 2: You're gonna win the series. It's some crazeacy.
Speaker 1: It's some discrepancies in the series oscrepancy.
Speaker 2: That's that's what it was.
Speaker 1: It's transpired. Hey, look, I allowed me to write the
Speaker 1: b roll. But man, listen, I told him, I told you,
Speaker 1: y'all got it sometime. Y'all got to listen to me
Speaker 1: when I tell you things. You know, I understand you're
Speaker 1: the expert. You played at the highest level.
Speaker 4: You've been doing it all your life since she was
Speaker 4: four years old, unc you know, basketball in and out
Speaker 4: like the like the pawm you goddamn hand. But it's
Speaker 4: something about me and my ability to tell the future
Speaker 4: despite the Nicks being the underdog. It's something about that
Speaker 4: God damn big body brust And listen, I just heard
Speaker 4: today and I ain't even know. I asked, listen, I tweeted,
Speaker 4: does Jalen Bruston have a super Max deal? And everybody
Speaker 4: told me listen, Young Bull was a class act. Decided
Speaker 4: to take a hometown discount, a friendly discount, so they
Speaker 4: could put a team around him and get some miss
Speaker 4: boys and here from Villanova and they had that cutting
Speaker 4: the food.
Speaker 2: And now I don't know the owner.
Speaker 4: Name, James Dolan, right, James Dolan. Yeah, And I know
Speaker 4: a lot of people got a lot a lot to
Speaker 4: say about him. But if I was the owner me
Speaker 4: and how I would move whatever super match with D.
Speaker 4: With D, I'm not gonna wait, I'm gonna pay him
Speaker 4: under the table for what I'm getting, for what I'm
Speaker 4: getting in this posty, Nah.
Speaker 2: Don't do don't pay that on the table.
Speaker 1: The team to try to pay somebody on the table
Speaker 1: David Sterry and put up David Sterry and put a
Speaker 1: piling on him so hard it got kg up out
Speaker 1: of Minnesota. He still tried to pay Joe. They tried
Speaker 1: to play Joe Smith. He took three first round draft picks.
Speaker 1: It crippled him. Wait, don't do that, you can't. Oh no, no, no, here,
Speaker 1: hey listen, listen. It's like the death pillam in college,
Speaker 1: like they gave SMU that put the death filler on.
Speaker 4: I understand I'm saying, and Joe, but if you're looking
Speaker 4: with Brunston and be a zoo not just doing forget
Speaker 4: just the playoffs. I'm talking about for helping the next
Speaker 4: get from what they were from the entirety of the
Speaker 4: season to get this point to I think nobody even
Speaker 4: gave them a chance to win this series, to be
Speaker 4: an f three to one and Jalen.
Speaker 2: Brunston having the night to night.
Speaker 4: Come on now, thirty nine forty fourteen to twenty five
Speaker 4: three feet, I mean what three faight from three seventh
Speaker 4: and nine from the free throw? When let's talk about this,
Speaker 4: let's talk about this, Bindan and I'm finna get to
Speaker 4: the spot, and he's finna get to a spot, and
Speaker 4: that that MIDI rain Joe, whether he's wanna go on
Speaker 4: the hand, what are you wanna pull up?
Speaker 2: Ain't nothing to stopping him. Every time y'all told me
Speaker 2: Juwe Holliday.
Speaker 1: Was the one that let's let's let's get to it.
Speaker 1: The Knicks take a three to one lead against Boston.
Speaker 1: Drealen Brunston's dropped thirty nine against the Knicks to win
Speaker 1: at home. They take a commanding three to one semi
Speaker 1: three to one series lead in the East. Simmis Bronson
Speaker 1: has one hundred and two fourth quarter points through ten
Speaker 1: games of the playoffs, joining Kobe Bryant in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one and two thousand and three as the only
Speaker 1: players with one hundred fourth quarter points in his first
Speaker 1: ten games of a playoff run. He got contributions. Karl
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns had twenty three and eleven. Mckal Bridges was
Speaker 1: twenty three seven and four steals. O g Leanoba had
Speaker 1: twenty points with four May threes. H mckal bridges the
Speaker 1: first two quarters combined. If you're gonna look at the series,
Speaker 1: he has the first, second and third quarter combined, he
Speaker 1: has twenty eight points.
Speaker 2: In the fourth quarters he had twenty six. That's clutch.
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum was having a night of nights before he
Speaker 1: goes down. We don't want to speculate, but it did
Speaker 1: not look good. We'll see they're gonna get an m tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But when you crumble like that, and he was wailing,
Speaker 1: he was you know, he was crying, and he had
Speaker 1: the walk.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: They gut him backs, They helped him off the court,
Speaker 1: and when they got him back, got him back to
Speaker 1: the locker room, they checking him in the tunnel. They
Speaker 1: got him in a wheelchair. So we think something seriously
Speaker 1: is wrong. But let's wait for the MI and I
Speaker 1: don't want to put that into the air. Knockle Wood.
Speaker 1: Hopefully everything turns out okay. But he had a night.
Speaker 1: He had it, going forty two points, eight rebounds, four steals,
Speaker 1: four assists, two blocks, seven may threes. He got helped
Speaker 1: from his guy Derrick White was six to twelve, six
Speaker 1: or eleven from three, five to seven from the free
Speaker 1: throw line. But Jaylen Brown's gotta be better. Jaylen Brown's
Speaker 1: got to be better. He's shooting thirty eight percent from
Speaker 1: the four. Joe and O joe. He shooting tw twenty
Speaker 1: two percent from the three. That's not good enough. You
Speaker 1: are a max player. You gotta play like it. Jalen
Speaker 1: Brown is twenty nine of seventy seven from the floor.
Speaker 1: He's seven to thirty one from the three. He has
Speaker 1: fourteen turnovers with thirteen assists. That's not good enough. And
Speaker 1: it was his turnover, not that you know it was
Speaker 1: a turnover, but Tatum tried to get the ball and
Speaker 1: he crumbled to the ground. If it duck look but
Speaker 1: injury doesn't look good. Now, who knows. We know Tatum
Speaker 1: can catch fired, and he had it going in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But the way the Knicks were playing, the
Speaker 1: way Bronson and Michal Bridges couldn't miss, I don't know
Speaker 1: if even when Tatum was in the game, they were
Speaker 1: gonna win that game. Considering watch kall Win got thirty
Speaker 1: seven in the third, they got seventy points in the
Speaker 1: second half, seven when when Tatum went down, I think
Speaker 1: that he was already losing the game even though he
Speaker 1: was playing. I think they were down by five. They
Speaker 1: had got down by five. The Knicks just gritty, man.
Speaker 1: They've been like that, you know, for quite some time.
Speaker 1: And they gritted out. They've been gritting out, you know,
Speaker 1: playoff wins throughout this whole postseason. Nah, we didn't expect.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. We a lot of us didn't
Speaker 1: expect for them to win this series. They won the
Speaker 1: first team then they opened our eyes. But man, we
Speaker 1: have injuries of Like, it's gonna be hard for Boston
Speaker 1: to be able to compete with these dudes.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna compete, not without Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1: And see, Joe, that's why you take care of business
Speaker 1: the first two games, because maybe you can win a game.
Speaker 1: You maybe you can win one game without Jayson Tatum.
Speaker 1: You're not finna beat the Knicks three times without Jayson Tatum.
Speaker 1: They got no contributions tonight from Al Horford and Holiday.
Speaker 1: They got nine points combined between them now and on
Speaker 1: the floor. They like Holiday not aggressive, Like they played
Speaker 1: almost thirty five and forty minutes and they shooting two
Speaker 1: times five times three for seven like you got. You
Speaker 1: gotta get more production from those guys man offensively, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just somebody has to pick it up. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's hard to be aggressive when you jacking up three.
Speaker 1: They shot forty eight three. So how aggressive are you
Speaker 1: going to be if you're shooting that many three? Because
Speaker 1: clearly you're not driving the basketball, you're not trying to
Speaker 1: get to the rim. Because look, Jason Tatum had forty two.
Speaker 1: He had three or three from the free throw line.
Speaker 1: Al Horford shot two free throws, Holliday didn't shoot any,
Speaker 1: Derrick White shot seven, Jaylen Brown shot six, Persinger shot six.
Speaker 1: So when you jacking up three, though, Joe, I mean,
Speaker 1: I ain't fitty five you on no. Three even though
Speaker 1: they did five or Derek White. Once, as I'm watching
Speaker 1: the game, I seen Tatum get to the mid range
Speaker 1: a few times. He made a few minutes, jump us going.
Speaker 1: I seen him make a few minutes, and then he
Speaker 1: came out and made like two or three threes in
Speaker 1: a row.
Speaker 2: I said, oh lord, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: You know what that So you know what that means, Joe, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for him to shoot sixteen threes, oh, Joe. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of threes for one person. I know he had
Speaker 1: it going. He was seven for sixteen, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's too many for me. I feel like
Speaker 1: him and Brown had the advantage throughout the whole series
Speaker 1: and using the big bodies to create space or get
Speaker 1: files make plays only for themselves, but for them team,
Speaker 1: for their teammates. I thought they had been doing a
Speaker 1: pretty good job with that, but they look pretty stagnant
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: It's just like your turn, my turn. I think that's
Speaker 2: kind of why.
Speaker 1: Like I and and and Holliday that really got involved
Speaker 1: because they fishing the pick and rolls New York. They're like,
Speaker 1: we're not let you throw back up the aisle so
Speaker 1: he could just shoot Scott free jumpers. We're gonna I
Speaker 1: got to play one on one. It's got iceo basketball
Speaker 1: on this. Who can get a bucket?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Tat the mat at going But then when he went down, bro,
Speaker 1: just I just put my head down, man, like.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I'm not a doctor, I'm not here assessing anything.
Speaker 2: But again, looking at a player when he goes down
Speaker 2: and being able.
Speaker 4: To assess what it is non contact, Yeah, listen, not
Speaker 4: only was it non contact.
Speaker 2: I was able to do the same thing with Steph.
Speaker 4: I told you exactly what it was, and the reports
Speaker 4: came out the following morning. It was the exact same
Speaker 4: thing of what with this one. I'm gonna hope for
Speaker 4: the best. I'm hope for the best because you know,
Speaker 4: any time you have a non non contact injury with
Speaker 4: a person and a player like that is crying and
Speaker 4: wheeling around, you order know what that is. I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna say it because I'm wishing for the best for him.
Speaker 4: But listen, jayly Tatum was on fire tonight where he
Speaker 4: was seven for sixteen.
Speaker 1: Jajob Oh, yeah, d Jay, you could buy you could
Speaker 1: buy Jalen and you trying Brown the tato together like
Speaker 1: Jason Brown.
Speaker 2: I'm talking so goddamn fast, My bad, my bad, you good?
Speaker 2: You good? Yeah.
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum had had the head of a night now
Speaker 4: he had, he had forty two. But the goddamn Nicks
Speaker 4: collectively as a group, they shot fifty four percent from
Speaker 4: the field right respect for five percent from three and again,
Speaker 4: I know I said it already, but that Jaylen Bronston
Speaker 4: Brow come on, man, listen, hey, Joe, whatever you want
Speaker 4: to do, Joe when it's time for a three, he's
Speaker 4: gonna get it to you. When he got to get
Speaker 4: to the bucket and in the mid range and then
Speaker 4: pull up, he's gonna get it to you.
Speaker 2: When he got he was a goddamn body.
Speaker 4: So well, Joe, Well, it's all all type of different
Speaker 4: man like they got the pay start, let me start.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, Joe, I watched him in college
Speaker 1: at Villanova. He could get his shot. He wasn't this.
Speaker 1: And then I watched him because he go to the
Speaker 1: MAVs and sometimes what he needed was his own team.
Speaker 1: He was never gonna be able to be this with
Speaker 1: Luca now because Luca's gonna have the ball.
Speaker 2: He needs the ball.
Speaker 1: Sometimes a man needs his own home, He needs his
Speaker 1: own place to call home.
Speaker 2: That is New York. Hey, what you did?
Speaker 5: You did you just hear that goddamn bar? You're just man, hey,
Speaker 5: Because he wasn't go He wasn't gonna be that in Dallas.
Speaker 5: He could only he was only gonna be so much
Speaker 5: because Lucas got the ball.
Speaker 1: He needs the ball. And you know what, and this
Speaker 1: it fits him too. They built this team around him.
Speaker 1: They did I know they had they've had highs and lows,
Speaker 1: but for the most part he's been consistent. And the
Speaker 1: thing that I like about him, he's so especially in
Speaker 1: like the picking rolls, even in the post uff because
Speaker 1: he's not the he's not the most athletic guy.
Speaker 2: You know it.
Speaker 1: You know it's all angles and you know, Hitch his
Speaker 1: hesitations keeping you out balanced. It's almost like a boxer,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you're throwing jab you hate
Speaker 1: makers all lady, and uh he's you know what he.
Speaker 2: Can he can create a shot. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Every few guys that can create I mean from any angle,
Speaker 1: he can create a shot. I mean he I mean,
Speaker 1: and he's a and for his size, and I've been
Speaker 1: next to him, I've talked to him before and seen
Speaker 1: him in person. The way he can create separation to
Speaker 1: get that turnaround off that many is.
Speaker 2: Incredible for someone his size.
Speaker 1: But if you look at his body, he can absorb contact,
Speaker 1: play through it and get a one as good as
Speaker 1: anybody his size I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't mean the destruct and you got away
Speaker 4: from a little bit and had a path. I need
Speaker 4: to bring that back to me one more time, because
Speaker 4: that was a bar. It was a bar as a
Speaker 4: bar you said about Jayleen Russell not being able to
Speaker 4: Luca on the mask but needed to what.
Speaker 2: He needed his own home.
Speaker 4: That's because that's the same passion and energy you said
Speaker 4: it with the first time.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying because if you look at it, if
Speaker 1: you go back and look at it before, they didn't.
Speaker 1: They didn't give it because a year earlier they could
Speaker 1: have extended him, Joe, and they didn't.
Speaker 2: So now it comes time and it's like, Okay, we
Speaker 2: got you now.
Speaker 1: No, No, you don't. No, you don't now because I
Speaker 1: already know somebody down here. They already got a hundred
Speaker 1: meal fucks. So that fifty five I would have taken
Speaker 1: that last year, I ain't gonna take it now.
Speaker 2: And so now he's like, Okay, I'm in somebody else.
Speaker 2: Oh Joe. It's like when you go to your boy house,
Speaker 2: you comfortable.
Speaker 1: They no place like your home because now you can
Speaker 1: get ready, Hey, you want to walk around with your
Speaker 1: shirt off, you want to walk around buttball, you can
Speaker 1: do all of that because that's your home.
Speaker 2: You can't do that in someone else's home.
Speaker 1: So now msg that's his home, and he acts accordingly.
Speaker 1: If you look at the way he played, look at
Speaker 1: when Luke that last year he was there and I
Speaker 1: think they went to the Western Conference finals.
Speaker 2: He was doing it. Yeah, he's doing now.
Speaker 1: The only difference is he didn't have the minutes that
Speaker 1: allow him to showcase what he's doing.
Speaker 2: He wasn't playing. No, what did he play tonight?
Speaker 1: Brunton played forty minutes they game thirty thirty two maybe,
Speaker 1: But now he gets to take the lion's share of
Speaker 1: the minutes fourteen to twenty five, four, eight, seven to nine.
Speaker 2: I know he mad.
Speaker 1: He mad because he missed that first three free throw
Speaker 1: because he wanted a forty ball. That's what he wanted.
Speaker 1: He wanted, he wanted a forty spot. He wanted that
Speaker 1: forty water. But oh Joe, looking at it, I mean
Speaker 1: looking at him play and looking at what he was
Speaker 1: with Dallas.
Speaker 2: I didn't see this. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, because I remember him last year
Speaker 1: and he was saidsational, Luca, go to the bitch, and
Speaker 1: it was like they didn't miss a beat.
Speaker 2: So I thought he could be good, but not this. Ye.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody thought this. He did. He
Speaker 2: thought this. I'm sure he believed in his own ability,
Speaker 2: but sometimes don't Joe.
Speaker 1: I can believe all I want to, but if I
Speaker 1: don't get an opportunity to showcase it, what can I do?
Speaker 4: Listen, he's doing, He's I don't know how to how
Speaker 4: to how to explain it on what he's been able
Speaker 4: to do, not just for New York in general, the
Speaker 4: fans in general, Steven the I know Steven.
Speaker 2: A gonna be hollering.
Speaker 4: Not only had to make intention and playing well during
Speaker 4: the regular season, but to be pushing him through in
Speaker 4: the postseason, especially the game of this magnitude against the
Speaker 4: team that was the champions last year and with them
Speaker 4: their crown, to be the champions this year and be
Speaker 4: up three to one, in him leading at the forefront
Speaker 4: of everything, and when it's time to get it done,
Speaker 4: I mean, mister mister klutch, mister clutter.
Speaker 2: Every time we need a shot, I got you. They
Speaker 2: He's been the best player in this series.
Speaker 1: I got Look, I understand what's on the other side
Speaker 1: of Joe. And that's not a knock. That's not a
Speaker 1: knock on Tatum le Brown. But Jalen Brunson has been
Speaker 1: the best player in this series. And this is why
Speaker 1: it's so hard to repeat. You see everybody thought it
Speaker 1: was a four gone conclusion. They wanted going away last year, Joe,
Speaker 1: and they brought everybody back and everybody, all the key contributors,
Speaker 1: basically twenty eight or under.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look and just like that.
Speaker 1: So now you have a healthy level of respect for
Speaker 1: teams that year in and year. Now you get an opportunity. Now,
Speaker 1: can you appreciate what Lebron did? Eight straight finals? Eight straight?
Speaker 1: Eight straight? Not one, not two, not three, not four,
Speaker 1: not five, not six, not so eight straight finals? You
Speaker 1: see how hard it is because as think about it,
Speaker 1: that's year after year you played Lebron playing seventy games
Speaker 1: a year, and now you're playing you gotta win four
Speaker 1: games in the first round, so you might be playing
Speaker 1: five six seven games, five six seven games, five six
Speaker 1: seven games, then you go to the finals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, man.
Speaker 1: You can think about the teams that beat three pete
Speaker 1: even like the Bulls, even the Lakers, the Bulls, the
Speaker 1: Lakers ninety like three pet brother that's crazy. But uh,
Speaker 1: that's why so hard in football? Oht your think about it.
Speaker 1: Now you're playing seventeen game Okay, you're only playing three preseasons,
Speaker 1: but you play seventeen games. Now you play three playoff
Speaker 1: games every year. Yeah, you done played half a season.
Speaker 1: If you three, If you like the Chiefs, they've already
Speaker 1: played half a season and just at the postseason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that catches up widget because guess what, but everybody else
Speaker 1: give their body six weeks to recover. You're still going
Speaker 1: your six weeks to recover. You try to take Seaton
Speaker 1: week owt your you Dabney back in medicare you in
Speaker 1: ot eighties? Everybody else that got their body recover on
Speaker 1: your going on vacation, you're like, babeh are your girl
Speaker 1: or your wife probably saying, hey, baby, what we going
Speaker 1: on vacation? I shall hope you and Jordia super Bowl
Speaker 1: because that was your vacation. And that's the thing. It's
Speaker 1: so grueling on your body. You play and think about it.
Speaker 1: O Joe, Nod and Joe. They playing back to back.
Speaker 2: They play Monday, they play Wednesday, they play Friday, they
Speaker 2: play Sunday. Yeah, you wanna get a day in between.
Speaker 1: That's not a lot of resk when you're playing forty
Speaker 1: minutes a night, you know what I mean? Yes, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: but look we gotta get the next say credit, Oh,
Speaker 1: they bought it the Bridge because I thought I thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna ride him to the I thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna bride him to the number. Michal Bridges forty
Speaker 1: four minutes, o G forty minutes, Cat thirty six minutes,
Speaker 1: Brunson forty minutes, Hard thirty minutes. Now, Heart and Cat
Speaker 1: only played the minutes they played because they were in
Speaker 1: foul trouble.
Speaker 2: Had they not been in foul trouble, they asked, would
Speaker 2: have been in their forty minutes.
Speaker 1: Hey, look, if Og and Bridge is gonna play like
Speaker 1: this and be effiicient, you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: beat the Knicks now with br and Cat playing the
Speaker 1: way they playing, and you add them too in. See,
Speaker 1: that's why they got them to to come up over there,
Speaker 1: because they needed them to deal with Tatum and Brown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and even before Tatum's injury, they have been doing a
Speaker 1: pretty good job. Look if he gonna if he's gonna
Speaker 1: shoot like you did. Look, we know Tatum can catch
Speaker 1: five and he can go give you a forty piece. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he know you. You know that you just got a
Speaker 1: I you just got a gritch your teeth and bear
Speaker 1: a Hey he making shots. Coat don't look over here.
Speaker 1: Hell I'm looking. I'm frustrated just like you. I see
Speaker 1: what the helly doing? Hey, hey, I mean look at
Speaker 1: some of those thirty four that he step step back
Speaker 1: thirty foot over cat? What the hell you want me
Speaker 1: to do? He ain't got it going, he said, A
Speaker 1: couple go in. Yeah, yeah, it was a round. But
Speaker 1: I think the thing is now. And that's why. That's why,
Speaker 1: uh Joe and O Joe, is that you take care
Speaker 1: of business. You had twenty point leads in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: You let him slip away. Now, okay, let's just say,
Speaker 1: for the sake of argument, you're up three, You're up
Speaker 1: three to one going home. You might can win a
Speaker 1: game without Tatum. Day Leb Brown is plenty good enough. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Derrick White is plenty good enough. Prayton Pitcher coming off
Speaker 1: the bitch, Al gotta play better than what he's playing.
Speaker 1: You're not finna beat the Knicks three times without Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn how well JB played. I
Speaker 1: don't care how well Derrick White play and Al Horford.
Speaker 1: You're not finna beat the Knicks three times.
Speaker 2: Without Jason Tatum. It ain't happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not not unless somebody have not unless somebody step
Speaker 1: up and just have an out of body like you
Speaker 1: gonna need j B to be awesome, Like he gonna
Speaker 1: almost need the average about thirty five and then on
Speaker 1: out and then you get hop somebody come along with him,
Speaker 1: and you know, Dead White can probably stay consistent. At
Speaker 1: the way he's been playing. I think he's been He's
Speaker 1: been pretty good for him. But man, they gonna need
Speaker 1: some guys to really step up. Bro, just even get
Speaker 1: itself a chance at home next game, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: the Knicks wanna close them out. Oh yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: leave anything to change because guess what I stepped on.
Speaker 1: Say A, I shoot a jump shot and I come
Speaker 1: down on somebody's ankle. You see what I'm saying? On
Speaker 1: your Somebody said the pace I bang these with somebody. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm finna get y'all ass up out of here. I'm
Speaker 1: going home the rest y'all finna. Let hey get your coat,
Speaker 1: your brim and get on out of this gym. That
Speaker 1: on your coat, your hat, and leave.
Speaker 4: I don't mean to be looking towards the future, right,
Speaker 4: Let's say that nick up out of this. What's they
Speaker 4: problem y'all gonna do. Yeah, we had who we had
Speaker 4: Knick's facing Pacers. Yeah, that's gonna be a good series.
Speaker 4: I can see that series going seven games.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, the Pacers beat them.
Speaker 1: The Pacers beat them last year, beat them in the
Speaker 1: MSG game seven. Brunson didn't have his best day, and
Speaker 1: everything the Pacers was throwing up was going in. And
Speaker 1: sometimes you have it like that, you throw it up,
Speaker 1: it go in and and you're like, damn, can y'all miss?
Speaker 2: But I agree with you.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna get twenty three from Bridges, twenty from
Speaker 1: O G hold on Bridges shot eleven or twenty one.
Speaker 1: If OG was eight or fourteen, Cat, you see the difference.
Speaker 1: Cat was level to fifteen. He only attempted three threes.
Speaker 1: You see the difference though. You see where they get
Speaker 1: a bigger air down on that block on Joe. Joe,
Speaker 1: what I tell you, when he get down there on
Speaker 1: the block and stop trying to out shoot dirt.
Speaker 2: I don't care if you can shoot better than dirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not gonna go to the championship playing like that.
Speaker 1: Get your big butt down there and punish him on
Speaker 1: the block. He did that brunt was fourteen or twenty five.
Speaker 1: If you tell me they gonna get twenty three, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, thirty nine. Hey, it was gonna be all
Speaker 1: for Boston to win that game if you knew they
Speaker 1: coming in two of them. But for sure, they shot
Speaker 1: fifty four percent. They shot fifty four percent from the floor.
Speaker 1: And Boston is a very good defensive team.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They got Derrick White that can fend. They got a
Speaker 1: Holiday that can defend. They got Brown that can defend.
Speaker 1: They got a Horford that can defend. They got defenders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they shot fifty four percent against that team. That's
Speaker 1: crazy because Boston is another team that switches everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Hey, look the nick's been they've been granted.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh Joe, you can you see how they drived
Speaker 1: wins out y'all? Imagine what New York could be like
Speaker 1: if them dudes make it to the finals. Let long,
Speaker 1: if they just get out this series.
Speaker 2: Hey's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, man, I could I Hey man, can
Speaker 1: you imagine what them tickets gonna cost court side? And
Speaker 1: msg them tickets probably started by thirty five more than
Speaker 1: the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And the Lakers they might start at fifty fifty because
Speaker 1: the Lakers for the NBA Finals, the Lakers right now,
Speaker 1: Oh that's oh when Luca and Lebron. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you started thirty thirty five. And the closer you get
Speaker 1: the center court, them tickets might be one hundred thousand. Sure, oh, show,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be watching right here on the couch for sure.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, for show.
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, I'm gonna give you.

Speaker 4: get your food, you get your beer, you get your
Speaker 4: your hot dogs and whatever whatever condiments you might need,
Speaker 4: and them cars crank up on.

Speaker 4: But sometimes you put all that stuff aside and you
Speaker 4: go in there.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you gotta go see it for yourselflf ain't nothing
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that's that's one of the one of
Speaker 4: the most amazing first dates you can take someone on.
Speaker 2: If it's something that you used to doing well, you but.

Speaker 1: what do the Celtics have to do in order to
Speaker 1: extend this series to a game six and come back
Speaker 1: to Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2: Man, They're gonna have to lay it on the line.
Speaker 1: Uh, They're going to lay it all out there as
Speaker 1: far as winning like they're gonna to have guys step
Speaker 1: up and make players maybe who aren't accustomed to But
Speaker 1: I think I think Holiday is capable of having a
Speaker 1: big game. I think yeah, yeah, yeah, he can get
Speaker 1: you twenty how it's capable of having a solid game
Speaker 1: double double. Uh, you just gonna need j Be to
Speaker 1: kind of be special man like he a Peyton presser
Speaker 1: to come in and get off. But the way, but
Speaker 1: you know what's been hurting them Joe Przingers hadn't given
Speaker 1: him ish because he don't look healthy neither. He only
Speaker 1: he don't look like he moving good at that neither. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ain't since even since finals run, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Something like it's kind of yeah, hamper with
Speaker 1: him throughout the entire season.
Speaker 2: So he got he had a knee injury, right, was
Speaker 2: it a knee or ankle? I don't know what he has.
Speaker 2: He's out for. He was out for a while and ever.
Speaker 1: Since he he needed to get it right in order
Speaker 1: for them to have a chance, He's gonna have to
Speaker 1: play better than what he's been playing. Chance four, ten,
Speaker 1: two or seven from three point line. That ain't nearly enough.
Speaker 1: That ain't good enough. No, let me take that back.
Speaker 1: He all two from the three point line, three or
Speaker 1: six from the free throw line, two or six from
Speaker 1: the floor twenty four minutes. Mm hmmm, seven points. Nah, bro, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna need somebody to step up and
Speaker 1: play big. But I think New York they owned to them.
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, it's how shes. They probably could go
Speaker 1: and get this old with, maybe get a couple of
Speaker 1: days to rest. They had a fourteen point lead and
Speaker 1: the uh and the Knicks trim it. Yeah, just like that.
Speaker 1: That's why when I be well, when you can watch
Speaker 1: the Celtics, they be getting off to them hot starts.
Speaker 1: Even though Tatum was hot in that first quart I
Speaker 1: was thinking, like, damn, it's gonna be hard to sustain this,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's almost like it's set
Speaker 1: up for us to sit back and watch and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we know the Knick's gonna make a comeback at some point,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it seemed like it
Speaker 1: just kind of starts to trickle down, whether they just
Speaker 1: start having turnovers or misshot. So just it they read it,
Speaker 1: they've read they very reckless with the basket man, they
Speaker 1: very reckless with it. I'll advise three point shots. That
Speaker 1: really starts the fast breaks. And yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're the situation. They were down and in that corner three,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Derrick White, you don't need to take that, bro,
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to take a three.
Speaker 1: And they took that, and it's like, I agree with you, Joe.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what they can do outside of
Speaker 1: JB giving you a forty piece Derrick White come along
Speaker 1: with the high twenties and somebody else tagging along for
Speaker 1: maybe a mid twenty. Other than that, I just I
Speaker 1: just don't see it. They're getting killed on the glass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're getting killed on the glass plus twelve
Speaker 1: mixed with plus twelve again plus six on the offensive glass,
Speaker 1: which mean creates second chance points.
Speaker 2: And the Knicks only shot twelve free throws.
Speaker 1: But man, in the second half, especially down the stretch
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarters, I mean, in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: of the game, the Knicks just imposed they will old
Speaker 1: chose they you know, they gonna fight you all game, bro,
Speaker 1: when it's the last seven eight minutes of the game
Speaker 1: or in the quarter, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And they just they just basically impose they will on
Speaker 2: these dudes.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I got I think the Knicks
Speaker 1: got got something special head for us man, the way
Speaker 1: they play. And how many how many times we see
Speaker 1: Michel Bridges late in the shot clock hit that fade
Speaker 1: away man.
Speaker 2: Every I mean at least four, I mean how many
Speaker 2: points he had in the fourth quarter?
Speaker 4: Hey, he did about three or four times in the pain.
Speaker 4: You get three four times in the pain, leaning back
Speaker 4: with it like he was Jordan's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because normally when he gets the bars, probably like
Speaker 1: four or five seconds left, so he got oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he got just enough time to get in his bag
Speaker 1: and get him one off real quick. Because ain't nobody
Speaker 1: think that they're not gonna double him because they're so
Speaker 1: tight on Brusting and all these other dudes. So the
Speaker 1: floor is kind of wide open for him to kind
Speaker 1: of you know, play making score.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I thought Bridges.
Speaker 1: Hues Man, he was huge. He was He was again
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Remember that game too, he had
Speaker 1: fourteen points. He had zero points for the first three
Speaker 1: quarters and then have fourteen in the four ten he
Speaker 1: had ten fourth quarter, ten fourth quarter points. Today, big
Speaker 1: bucket after big Bucket after Big buck Man and you
Speaker 1: and you're the niggas. You want him being aggressive like
Speaker 1: that twenty one twenty one attempts like you want him
Speaker 1: to come out and be aggressive and may play take
Speaker 1: some of this fresh out of brunting and cab, you know,
Speaker 1: so things can kind of open up. I thought he's
Speaker 1: I think he's been doing a pretty good job, you know,
Speaker 1: especially today. Yeah, he was five or six from the
Speaker 1: floor in the fourth quarter with ten points. And look,
Speaker 1: if you're if you don't have a twenty point even
Speaker 1: you got a twenty point lead on them in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they gonna cut it down. They're gonna cut
Speaker 1: it down to til to twelve. Com Uh, it's just
Speaker 1: a it's just a matter of time. But our thoughts
Speaker 1: go out to Jason Tatum, man, I know a Celtics fan.
Speaker 2: We're sorry. This injury does not look good.
Speaker 1: We don't want to speculate what it is, but we
Speaker 1: saw a guy go down with a non contact injury
Speaker 1: and he grabbed his ankle. Yes, work, man, That's what
Speaker 1: got me. I'm like, man, he can't putting up. He
Speaker 1: did a yeah, he knew because he doesn't hurt. Everybody
Speaker 1: say what it felt like and he felt that very thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we've seen it enough, guys, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: take off, it just crumbled to the ground. We're going
Speaker 1: ahead and do me some cat raises the night, just
Speaker 1: because that old Nico beckt ol Nico, Old Nico Harrison.
Speaker 2: He is good.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, listen, Joe. I think all this was pre playing, Joe.
Speaker 4: I think all playing. I know they talk about lottery
Speaker 4: and oh you lucky, and who gets the number one pick?
Speaker 2: And I think all this all this was done purposely.
Speaker 1: Man like saying so basically what you said, you said
Speaker 1: they since since they just sitting look out there in
Speaker 1: l A, they don't made it to Okay.
Speaker 2: We're gonna We're gonna give the mass number one pick.
Speaker 2: That's what you think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, they know they come on you. No, that's me,
Speaker 1: that's Milwaukee's pick. I won't look, I won't y'all. Hey, hey, look,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I'm fan to ask, yall. So what
Speaker 1: do we do with this number one pick now that
Speaker 1: Dallad's got. Do we do we go out? You know?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Today's NBA lottery did not help the NBA red conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: The Mavericks had a one point eight percent chance of
Speaker 1: landing the number one overall pick. They had the fourth
Speaker 1: They are the fourth longest odds ever to get the
Speaker 1: number one overall pick, the number number two, Spurs, number three, Sixers,
Speaker 1: number four, Hornets, number five, Jazz. I'm glad Washington and
Speaker 1: all those other teams that tain't you're still doing at
Speaker 1: the bottom.
Speaker 2: That's what you get.
Speaker 1: That's what you get. Dereck Rhose check this out. In
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, Derek Roose going to his hometown
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls. He had a one point seven percent chance
Speaker 1: the twenty eleven the Cavaliers getting number one picks after
Speaker 1: Lebron left prior because think about it, when Lebron left,
Speaker 1: they got the number one pick, like three four years
Speaker 1: of the row they got they got Kyrie, they got Wiggins,
Speaker 1: or they got many they got three of them. In
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, Repelicans got the number one overall pick after
Speaker 1: Chris Paul leaves. You know they beat and that's when
Speaker 1: they ve told that trade, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen, the Cavaliers got the number one pick
Speaker 1: to give them access needed to break Kevin Love to
Speaker 1: Cleveland and the Pelicans got the number one pick after
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, the man of the trade. In twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: the Mavericks get the number one pick after trade and
Speaker 1: look at the trade deadline. Joe, Now, the first time
Speaker 1: they thought a lot of rigging. Nineteen eighty five was
Speaker 1: the first time they had a lot of it. And
Speaker 1: the Knicks got Patrick so they swore with Red. So
Speaker 1: y'all think it's rigged. I don't think. Man's basketball guy us.
Speaker 1: But what I'm thinking. What I'm thinking is like, what
Speaker 1: are they gonna do with this number one pick? Are
Speaker 1: they gonna package this and go get it?
Speaker 4: Katie Johannis, No, already listen already.
Speaker 1: No no no, no, no, no, Katie Yannis. I'm not giving
Speaker 1: no no, no, no no no no Jannis. You're going
Speaker 1: to get forget trade that number one. But I don't
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if that's enough because now
Speaker 1: the money got a match.
Speaker 4: I already told y'all why y'all talk about Yanna's going
Speaker 4: to Dallas, And I already told you where Yanna is going.
Speaker 2: He says, he listen to me. Yanna says he wants
Speaker 2: to play in the state.
Speaker 1: With no tax. What do you think Dallas, Texas? Dallas
Speaker 1: is no state tax. You know Texas, Dallas, Houston.
Speaker 2: Wants to come to Miami. Ain't nobody here. Well, you said,
Speaker 2: you said you want to play in the state. They
Speaker 2: don't have state tax.
Speaker 4: But you know what, denevating towards you know what I'm
Speaker 4: leaning towards Dallas is eighty and Kyrie's team.
Speaker 1: Check this for the first time in his career, Giannis
Speaker 1: is open minded about playing for another team. According to Shams,
Speaker 1: Gianni's wants no income tax at a top player to
Speaker 1: help him. San Antonio has thirty six future draft picks
Speaker 1: over the next seven years and one of the cleanest
Speaker 1: salary sheets in the NBA. Oh that number two pick. Oh,
Speaker 1: and he got Wemby, and he got Stefan Castle Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year, and they got a mortgage board. Thirty
Speaker 1: six picks over seven years. Now, I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: my man ain't that good. But that's about five picks
Speaker 1: a year if you prodragted. So I give hey, I'll
Speaker 1: give you the number two pick in the draft. I'll
Speaker 1: give you Vassal, I'll give you Kelden Johnson. I'll give
Speaker 1: you four. I'll give you four first round picks and
Speaker 1: two picks one. Come on with it now, he said,
Speaker 1: it's hard to turn down day Hey, they turned to
Speaker 1: nothing down for the car for for who?
Speaker 2: For who?
Speaker 1: He's saying, Uh, the Spur, I'm gonna give you the Spurs.
Speaker 1: Got the number two pick, I'm gonna give you him.
Speaker 1: I'll give you four future first round picks up protected.
Speaker 1: I'll also give you two pick swaps. I'll give you
Speaker 1: Vassal and I'll give you Kelton Johnson. But their number
Speaker 1: two pick ain't gonna be Cooper Flag. They want the
Speaker 1: number one pick. Uh, Hey, I ain't got no more pick.
Speaker 1: Hey and Dallas. Dallas might say, but hell, we'll pair
Speaker 1: a Cooper Flag with a D and Kyrie and keep
Speaker 1: it for our damn self.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, is they gonna win you? And is he
Speaker 2: gonna win you a championship? Though?
Speaker 1: Think about that him as a rookie? Can he come
Speaker 1: in and fit in and be a key player to
Speaker 1: what they trying to do? Can Yannis Kyrie and a
Speaker 1: D can they fit in?
Speaker 2: Hell?
Speaker 1: Yeah, a D don't want to play the five. Yannis
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play the five. Yannis want to play
Speaker 1: the four ad want to play that. They want to
Speaker 1: do that, they want to win them well what they
Speaker 1: want to do?
Speaker 2: What you heard? What a say they say? I just
Speaker 2: played better in my mind that he got gas put
Speaker 2: the lively over that. Oh they got to go. You
Speaker 2: ain't gonna keep all. They won't, but you keep at
Speaker 2: least one. Uh know, I want them both. Now, they
Speaker 2: ain't gonna give him both.
Speaker 1: They gonna have to keep. They gonna keep going. They
Speaker 1: now you keep, you can keep power. You're not keeping
Speaker 1: both for.
Speaker 4: You're all a confusion, all the confusing, the hypothetical, y'all
Speaker 4: going through.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna let you'all finish. And when he
Speaker 2: is oh.
Speaker 1: Yoe, oh yo, unless unless you pair with four other teams,
Speaker 1: you don't have the draft capital.
Speaker 4: I know we don't have the draft capital. I would
Speaker 4: break it down and further than PowerPoint presentation the way
Speaker 4: it was given to me. You know by that the
Speaker 4: higher ups you know, in part of the Heat organization.
Speaker 4: But I can't do that right now. But again, he
Speaker 4: will be down here in Miami. I'm telling you I
Speaker 4: keep I'm trying to give you hint after him every
Speaker 4: show with ain't nobody listening to me.
Speaker 1: Houston got the draft capital and the young players, A
Speaker 1: Jabbari Smith, a Drealen Green, and the draft capitol. Brooklyn
Speaker 1: got the draft capitol. But I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have the players. Uh Utah, I have draft capital. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they have the players. Do you want
Speaker 1: Laurry Marketon on the Collins Sexton and four or five
Speaker 1: draft picks?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But Houston with Jalen Green and Jabbari Parker and excuse me,
Speaker 1: Jabari Smith junior and fourth first round of though a
Speaker 1: Joe to Milwaukee for Yannis.
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yes, because I pair Yannis. I paired Jannis with shung
Speaker 1: Gun and I gotta keep it. I gotta keep on men. Thompson, now,
Speaker 1: I gotta keep him. See that you're gonna it's just
Speaker 1: seems like you're gonna. I don't for whatever reason. It's
Speaker 1: like you're gonna take away some of the shooting or
Speaker 1: the screen. It's like you because you know, I mean
Speaker 1: Thompson and Jannis Yannis, they they are almost like same
Speaker 1: type of player. Almost Now ain't gonna be better.
Speaker 2: He gonna getting better.
Speaker 1: He getting better at shooting the ball, and plus we
Speaker 1: need defenders. Remember what happened last time, You're Walkee got
Speaker 1: away to the defense fenders when they gave up Holiday.
Speaker 2: How they look. But I'm saying, you gotta have somebody
Speaker 2: that can defend it. To have that ball in his
Speaker 2: hand a lot, I think.
Speaker 1: I think young boy, if they gonna do that, they
Speaker 1: you know, he gonna play that, he gonna he gonna
Speaker 1: control that rock a lot more. You know, Young's gonot
Speaker 1: to play off the ball, so he doesn't, Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: iminate the ball. That's why we're gonna keep. That's why
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep a point guard. We're gonna keep Van Fleet.
Speaker 1: It sounds good, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: Just sound good. That's all it is. It just sound.
Speaker 1: But but I'm saying, you gotta go to the team
Speaker 1: because they want players and they won't draft capital. Right,
Speaker 1: They're only a handful of teams that have players and
Speaker 1: the draft capitol. You got San Antonio, you got Houston,
Speaker 1: you got Utah, You Brooklyn have the capitol, but they
Speaker 1: don't have the players.
Speaker 2: Houston have the players and the capitol. I see what
Speaker 2: you're saying.
Speaker 1: Utah have capital and players. Lauryn Marketing Colin Sexton they
Speaker 1: have some pieces. So he's made it clear. Look, no
Speaker 1: income tax, because hey, I'm about to tell you, I'm
Speaker 1: about to side this new Max deal and I want
Speaker 1: all I want all this.
Speaker 2: I want all this.
Speaker 4: Chaillar in my pocket. So he's telling you, he's telling
Speaker 4: you what he wants. Also, he's telling you he's coming
Speaker 4: from Milwaukee. He doesn't want to go to Utah. He
Speaker 4: doesn't want to go to San Antonio. He wants to
Speaker 4: come down to South Beach. He wants to That's not
Speaker 4: what he said. He said, or stay with no income tax.
Speaker 4: That's what he says. Trying to give you a hint.
Speaker 4: You're not listening to me. I'm telling you what I know.
Speaker 4: I'm not telling you. I'm not saying I'm Shams. I'm
Speaker 4: not saying I'm wol.
Speaker 2: I know that.
Speaker 1: But he also said he would like to be in
Speaker 1: l A too. Now we know he can't go to
Speaker 1: the Lakers. But what about the Clippers. I don't know
Speaker 1: if the Klipper Clippers have it they got do the
Speaker 1: Clippers have the players? They're gonna have to give up
Speaker 1: harden A Kawhi because they ain't got no other pieces.
Speaker 1: They don't want normal Norman Power a zoobots out. Don't
Speaker 1: know if that's enough. They don't have the dress, they
Speaker 1: don't have the draft capital. All those other teams they
Speaker 1: got seven eight first rounders. I'm gonna tell you this now,
Speaker 1: and they got capital. Jayleen, you like Jalen Green, You
Speaker 1: like your bar Smith Jr? I mean what you what?
Speaker 2: You love? What you like Joe been four first rounders
Speaker 2: and two pigswalks. Man.
Speaker 1: I like some way somehow getting him the Dallas. Him
Speaker 1: and KD the Dallas. That's what I like. Oh, I
Speaker 1: can see k I can see KD going to Dallas,
Speaker 1: but not for Cooper flag.
Speaker 2: They're not trading Cooper flag for KD. See, y'all not
Speaker 2: gonna understand to U see for here?
Speaker 4: Boy, you seen Jannis last night on one a third, Yeah,
Speaker 4: he was in tous he's getting you know, on the
Speaker 4: on the on the on the second floor, getting the
Speaker 4: shoulder rub. All right, y'all gonna listen to me until
Speaker 4: why I was? I was We went to dinner off,
Speaker 4: we went to dinner on South Beach. But y'all keep
Speaker 4: coming up with all these hypotheticals, and I'm telling.
Speaker 1: You where you no ridget I'm just looking at without
Speaker 1: the team, without for getting three or fourteen involved. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at a team like Houston that have the capitol
Speaker 1: and the players that can do something. Straight up, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at I'm looking at a maybe a Dallas, a
Speaker 1: Cooper flag, a Daniel Gafford, and I don't know Klay Thompson,
Speaker 1: but but you're gonna need Klay Thompson the space to floor.
Speaker 2: But you do they love them. Them fans in Dallas
Speaker 2: gonna be peid off. They messing. Ryan traded a number
Speaker 2: one pick.
Speaker 1: The Folk won't coop even for Janni's them folk won't
Speaker 1: Cooper flag Man. Jannie is the only man, the only
Speaker 1: man he and he did it twice thirty points, twelve rebounds,
Speaker 1: five assists on sixty percent shooting. Nobody's ever did it once.
Speaker 1: He's done it in back to back years. And in
Speaker 1: the postseason he's was even better thirty thirty three points,
Speaker 1: fifteen rebounds, six assists.
Speaker 2: Oh he just shot fifty seven percent in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: That's all. But you know, hey, they lost.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I think the Spurs have the best chance
Speaker 1: because they have that, you know what I'm saying Him
Speaker 1: and Wenby with Castle, you got Chris Paul, Keldon Johnson
Speaker 1: Vassal for a first round of some pick swamps. I
Speaker 1: give up five first rounder, that'll be okay. See, Okac
Speaker 1: has the has the capital to move it, to get
Speaker 1: it done. But I don't know if Presty wants to
Speaker 1: break up.
Speaker 2: His young core. He's young nucleus.
Speaker 1: They win it, so it's it's it's it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be very very interesting. I don't see. I don't see
Speaker 1: the reason that he stays they can't they can't improve.
Speaker 1: And I told people that, and I remember having a
Speaker 1: very conversation, Oh, I don't want to go I want
Speaker 1: to go join somebody else, joannest. If Lebron James couldn't
Speaker 1: get anybody to come join him in Cleveland, you damn
Speaker 1: sure can't get somebody to come join you in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 1: And as great as you are, if you take Lebron,
Speaker 1: it is you take Youann to say this peaking Lebron
Speaker 1: was better, and Lebron can't get anybody to come join
Speaker 1: him be a free agency. So I don't know what
Speaker 1: to tell you, Joannis. You see all these people do
Speaker 1: all this talking, Joe, but if you're not careful, you
Speaker 1: will become the very thing you despise the most in
Speaker 1: the person. Everybody despised Lebron James going to link up,
Speaker 1: and I've been damn O Joe.
Speaker 2: What is everybody going to do now?
Speaker 1: If you're not careful, you'll become the very thing you
Speaker 1: despise the most in the person. If you hate a liar,
Speaker 1: if you're not careful, you'll become one. If you hate
Speaker 1: a cheat, if you're not careful, you'll become one. If
Speaker 1: you hate a thief, if you're not careful, you'll become one.
Speaker 1: If you hate a superstar, that gon link up with
Speaker 1: other superstars. If you're not careful, you'll become the very
Speaker 1: thing you despise the most on a person. Oh no,
Speaker 1: well you see, I ain't want it up?
Speaker 2: What do you do it? Why do you do it?

Speaker 1: Lebron sitting back there in his brent Wooden mansion like,
Speaker 1: oh really, oh really, it's my time, and y'all mad
Speaker 1: at me. But y'all don't realize Paul, it was KG
Speaker 1: and Ray Allen did it first, did y'all realize that
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics didn't draft KG or Ray Allen and
Speaker 1: they joined Paul Pierce. That was the big three, and
Speaker 1: then they got Rayed Rondo. It was really a big four.
Speaker 1: But I know y'all got it there for me. So
Speaker 1: y'all said, I did.
Speaker 2: It, okay, mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Hey, look, I want to see him on the more.
Speaker 1: I want to see him in a difference, in a
Speaker 1: different uniform.
Speaker 4: Gonna be in one Vice City, yeah, threeal five, Dave County,
Speaker 4: Liberty City.
Speaker 1: But but I thought he didn't want to go play
Speaker 1: with other great players. He said that we gotta pull
Speaker 1: that article. We're gonna have it next time you come
Speaker 1: on here where he said you mean? I mean, I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: he need he needs you.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: But because see what you do, Joe, See what you
Speaker 1: do is that when Lebron do it. See if I
Speaker 1: say that's not what I want to do, everybody say, yeah,
Speaker 1: watch to see how Yanni se See how Yannis seels.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about the Internet. Now, it's forever.
Speaker 1: It's forever because a lot of times some people saying
Speaker 1: stuff down in the said this, if you want around
Speaker 1: to hear. You don't remember or the eighties. But this
Speaker 1: thing is, this is this inventure called it Internet or
Speaker 1: it's amazing thing. It'll stay up there forever.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh uh, I just don't know Joe, And look,
Speaker 1: I understand Miami. But listen, you do real you do realize.
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan was gonna go to Orlando. The only reason
Speaker 1: he didn't go. You know why he didn't go on Joe,
Speaker 1: they said he could not fly his wife on the
Speaker 1: plane when they're gonna he said, Okay, he went back.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was because Pop allowed it. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: in that uh with teammate and Grant Hill. Yep, a
Speaker 1: grand Hill. Tim, he was a done deal. He asked,
Speaker 1: do y'all allow significant others on the team charter? No,
Speaker 1: that's not what we do here, but that's what they
Speaker 1: do where I left and I'm going back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy because.
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, in order to
Speaker 1: get said, I mean, there's a lot of times, a
Speaker 1: lot of times when you want to when you want
Speaker 1: a CEO, you have to offer perks, twenty four hour security,
Speaker 1: you get lifetime healthcare, you get x amount of hours
Speaker 1: on the private jet, there's certain perks, there's certain concessions
Speaker 1: you must make if you want said individuals. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: mean to get a guy like talk about it, Tim
Speaker 1: Duncan and t mac and grand Hill and all, because
Speaker 1: you know what, well, we have a policy rule that
Speaker 1: what that hadn't been amended or or be a little bit. Yes,
Speaker 1: you make concessions. There are certain things that you have
Speaker 1: to be willing to make concessions for. And if it's
Speaker 1: more than for Tim Duncan, or if I get an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get a Shack or Kobe in their prime
Speaker 1: of Lebron. Oh, now in this situation, a y honest yeah,
Speaker 1: how many times? How many times do we see players
Speaker 1: and then their dads or if somebody they know is
Speaker 1: on the staff right all the time?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Now you could be stubborn until my dady
Speaker 2: and what we do.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is what we used to do.
Speaker 2: We do it.
Speaker 1: Now you need some help nowadays, bro, absolutely, because these teams,
Speaker 1: these teams are.
Speaker 2: They're too good. They're too good.
Speaker 1: Because everybody everybody got at least two everybody got two, yeah,
Speaker 1: some even three maybe even yes, And so now y'all
Speaker 1: is looking at it like man look at best case scenario,
Speaker 1: Dame is not coming back until the start of.
Speaker 2: The twenty sixth season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty six he had the twenty seven Yeah, Dane
Speaker 1: wanted to be in wanted to be in Miami to
Speaker 1: begin with. Pat Riley didn't want to give up the compensation.
Speaker 1: See pat think he gets strong on people. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: we take the best deal. We're not just gonna give
Speaker 1: him to you. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very interesting this thing. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag. I don't believe Dallas will trade Cooper Flag.
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, they might. They might Nico out of town.
Speaker 2: If you do that.
Speaker 1: You got rid of lou You got rid of Luca. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to go. You got to go. Hey, they
Speaker 1: by storm the castle. Oh ya, unless what you bringing
Speaker 1: in gonna deliver a championship. But still you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to go through the grief all the way up until then,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it, because even.
Speaker 1: If you win one with Younis, they gonna say we
Speaker 1: could have won three or four with Cooper.
Speaker 2: You know how this worked? Oh, Joe and Joe. It's
Speaker 2: never good enough for the fans, no and never of that.
Speaker 3: And if I'm Nico, if the owners have any inclination
Speaker 3: about getting rid of Cooper Flag, Nico need to step
Speaker 3: down because I'm not following on the sword again. I'm
Speaker 3: not I'm not following on this sword again.
Speaker 1: So so oh y'all think Cooper Flag and can help
Speaker 1: lead the mattericks. Maybe not his first year, but I
Speaker 1: think he's good enough for a couple of years. Look,
Speaker 1: only Magic Johnson did that, but Magic Johnson had the
Speaker 1: MVP riding shotgun career.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. So how how many years?

Speaker 1: time we seen the rookie leader team to the playoffs?
Speaker 1: But here the thing, But you do realize Kyrie probably
Speaker 1: coming back to the top of the year. Kyrie ain't
Speaker 1: coming back here Jayuard twenty sixth.
Speaker 2: Joe, Yeah, I forgot what about that? I forgot about it?
Speaker 2: Got by Kyrie injury. Yeah, they can't. They can't left.
Speaker 1: So you get Kyrie so you got clave flag, A
Speaker 1: D and lively.
Speaker 2: I like that. You still need some more old pieces
Speaker 2: they do. I'm right here, they ain't. They're gonna need
Speaker 2: some more. Go back to why the NBA. Huh No.
