Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show. We are filming
Speaker 1: this Sunday night, which is technically Monday morning, Dallas time.
Speaker 1: We just beat the Mavericks in Game three, very fun
Speaker 1: and intense game. Oh by the way, for those of
Speaker 1: y'all who's been tuning into the show are lovely supporters
Speaker 1: that we appreciate. You probably noticed that I don't know
Speaker 1: what this thing is called. I'm just called a microphone
Speaker 1: cover because that's about the deepest my knowledge with microphone goes.
Speaker 1: So I want to call this a microphone cover. And
Speaker 1: if you probably notice it's been missing Jackson told me
Speaker 1: to put it back on the day. But the reason
Speaker 1: I've been taking it off is because I always look
Speaker 1: at the video and I never noticed when I'm recorded,
Speaker 1: and I always look at the video and be like this.
Speaker 1: So I finally was just like, I'm I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: it off, and Jackson just told me to put it
Speaker 1: back on. So if it ends up like this, I
Speaker 1: need you all to scream and yell and say, hey,
Speaker 1: the MIC's messed up. Actually, we'll say that for when
Speaker 1: we do some live podcasts and are some of our
Speaker 1: supporters can show up, because we're definitely going to do that.
Speaker 1: But UM, let's actually get into Game three, Dallas Mavericks
Speaker 1: versus to go to the State Warriors. Um, we were
Speaker 1: able to take that game one o nine to one
Speaker 1: hundred to take a three oh lead. UM. Very fun
Speaker 1: game to play in. Steph got it go on. I
Speaker 1: think Steph finished the game with thirty one eleven and
Speaker 1: five or six. Stuff has been absolutely incredible. He's been
Speaker 1: rebounding the ball great, which is huge in this series
Speaker 1: because you get long rebounds. Obviously, Dallars shoots a ton
Speaker 1: of threes, and when you shoot a ton of threes,
Speaker 1: the long rebounds and rebounds are gonna bounds to a
Speaker 1: little over the first guys that are boxing out to
Speaker 1: the free throw line area. However, with Steph, Steph doesn't
Speaker 1: just get long rebounds. Steph gets into gets in the
Speaker 1: thick of things and comes up with rebounds and so H.
Speaker 1: One thing we've always known that Steph is a great rebounder,
Speaker 1: especially at his size and at the guard position. He's
Speaker 1: always been an incredible rebounder and he continues that through
Speaker 1: this series. Um, but I think for me watching Steph play,
Speaker 1: I know someone asked me tonight, like what's the difference
Speaker 1: and stuff? Is he more motivated because people were saying, like,
Speaker 1: Lucas now the point guard in the NBA, and it's him,
Speaker 1: and it's that motivated him, and Lucas an incredible player.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I'm not sure Steph had heard that, because,
Speaker 1: like I told them, I hadn't heard that, Like I
Speaker 1: hadn't heard anyone like oh, it's a changing of the
Speaker 1: guard and Lucas now the point guard in the NBA
Speaker 1: and it's no longer Steph Curry. I hadn't heard any
Speaker 1: of that talk. I also don't pay attention to much
Speaker 1: talk like that, and so I can't say that that
Speaker 1: motivated Steph Curry. What I what I know for certain
Speaker 1: motivated Steph Curry is that it's been this is now
Speaker 1: your three of us having not been in the finals.
Speaker 1: We can change that and make it a two year drought,
Speaker 1: but this is the third year of that and so
Speaker 1: oh not playing in the finals for two straight years,
Speaker 1: losing and playing games last year, We're back, We're healthy,
Speaker 1: and that's enough motivation in itself to get to the
Speaker 1: to get to the conference finals and then obviously on
Speaker 1: to the finals. Um, you know, we we we became
Speaker 1: accustomed to winning all the time, and then you don't
Speaker 1: and it just fills off. And so you know, we
Speaker 1: we we understand that we don't have ten years of
Speaker 1: basketball left together and we have to take advantage of
Speaker 1: our opportunities and we want to add more rings. And
Speaker 1: so that right there is enough motivation in itself. Um.
Speaker 1: I thought Wiggins played incredibly well. Everybody knows Wiggins played
Speaker 1: incredibly well. The defense he's been playing on Luca has
Speaker 1: been absolutely amazing. The thing that I love mostes he's
Speaker 1: picking him up four court. Every time he brings the
Speaker 1: ball up to court. And number one, the amount of
Speaker 1: energy that that takes is through the roof. Now, most
Speaker 1: guys that pick guys up for a court they're not
Speaker 1: doing it on the offensive end. He's doing it on
Speaker 1: both ends of the floor. And it's not one particular thing.
Speaker 1: It's not just threes, it's not just mid range shots,
Speaker 1: it's not just getting to the cup. It's like all
Speaker 1: of these things. And what I've been most impressed with
Speaker 1: on the offensive it with Wiggin is not only this series,
Speaker 1: but past two series before this one. It's his offensive
Speaker 1: rebounding and coming up with extra possessions and even the
Speaker 1: ones that he don't actually come up with, he's getting
Speaker 1: his hand on him and just create an extra possession
Speaker 1: and calls and have it. It's been absolutely amazing what
Speaker 1: he's been able to do. Kavin loonely with another stellar game.
Speaker 1: I think he had nine points, twelve rebounds, and four
Speaker 1: assists or something like that. Uh, Loon has really come
Speaker 1: on and I'm happy to see Loon playing the way
Speaker 1: he's playing because this is this is what we all
Speaker 1: known Loon always of impacts winning and it's starting to
Speaker 1: show up in the statue now and it's showing up
Speaker 1: in a way to where the rest of the world
Speaker 1: can say, oh man, that guy is playing well, because
Speaker 1: if it don't show up in the stat sheet, most
Speaker 1: people don't have a clue what's going on a basketball game.
Speaker 1: Although they think they do. Most people don't have a
Speaker 1: clue what's going on in the basketball game. And they
Speaker 1: will say, oh man, he sucks, or he's this, or
Speaker 1: he's that, and he's been absolutely amazing one of one
Speaker 1: of them. And I spoke about this before, UM, and
Speaker 1: I'll say it again for those that didn't hear it before.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I get the biggest joy
Speaker 1: out of is I've seen it for years people called
Speaker 1: Loom up into the screen. They think they got oh man,
Speaker 1: I see this guy can go by him, and he
Speaker 1: just defends and defends and uses his length well and
Speaker 1: doesn't buy it on fakes. And to see teams didn't realize, like,
Speaker 1: oh man, we can't call that guy into the screen.
Speaker 1: It always brings me great joy. So Loon has been
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing UM all playoffs long. By the way, he
Speaker 1: was incredible in the Dermon series too. We end up
Speaker 1: going small because we thought we had match up advantage
Speaker 1: on the other end. By going small. But Loon has
Speaker 1: been amazing all year, play eighty two games, UM, come
Speaker 1: into these playoffs and been a true professional that we
Speaker 1: know he is, and he's been huge for us. I mean,
Speaker 1: the inside presence that he gives us. It's exactly what
Speaker 1: we were missing in that Memphis series when Steph and
Speaker 1: I went to coach like, Yo, we have to start
Speaker 1: Loom and the presence has been nervous every game ever since.
Speaker 1: And so, uh, Loon has been absolutely amazing. I thought, uh,
Speaker 1: I thought Clay played a really good game last two games.
Speaker 1: His driving and kicking and getting the domino the fall,
Speaker 1: the first domino the fall has been incredible. He didn't
Speaker 1: shoot the ball particularly well tonight three for ten from
Speaker 1: re I think it was six for eighteen from the
Speaker 1: floor for nineteen points. But what was most beautiful about
Speaker 1: is he had great looks. And if you get great,
Speaker 1: if you give Clay times in great looks, I'm living
Speaker 1: with that. Clay Thompson gonna make those. I'm never worried
Speaker 1: about that. And so I thought Clay was really key
Speaker 1: on the defensive end. Clay Clay was very good for
Speaker 1: us as well. UM, I mean overall total team effort
Speaker 1: for me. I had a piss poor first haive, piss poor, frustrated.
Speaker 1: Oh nine, Also, did y'all think I was over and back?
Speaker 1: All right? Just asking for your opinion? I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not gonna give my opinion on that call,
Speaker 1: but I'm asking for your opinion. Maybe you can hashtag
Speaker 1: out of Draymond Green Show. Wait, what's our hashtag? Jacks?
Speaker 1: Hashtag to Draymond Green Show and let me know if
Speaker 1: you thought it was over back and not. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: lead that up to you because you can't get fine,
Speaker 1: I can't, so you tell me what you think. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: I was frustrated. I was piste off and coming out
Speaker 1: the second half, I knew I had to be better
Speaker 1: if we were gonna win that game on the road, uh,
Speaker 1: that I had to be better on both ends of
Speaker 1: the floor, defensive end and the offensive end of the floor.
Speaker 1: And I thought I did a pretty good job with that.
Speaker 1: Um really mad that my long two was a two,
Speaker 1: because you know, when I take the three, I like
Speaker 1: to make the three and no kind of although it's
Speaker 1: still kind of acted as a three, like it didn't
Speaker 1: count as a three, but it gave the effect of
Speaker 1: a three, and so it still felt pretty good. But no,
Speaker 1: I think for me, Uh, last game Game two, I
Speaker 1: spent the entire game partn UM frustrated, arguing with the rougherees,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I actually got a tech to knife
Speaker 1: for saying that's why, but badge monor I wear that
Speaker 1: were pride, So it is what it is. But I
Speaker 1: think um coaches O text me actually after after the
Speaker 1: last game, and he said it in a very nice way.
Speaker 1: He said, Um, I'm gonna read the text to you
Speaker 1: because I don't want to get his words wrong. But
Speaker 1: he said it in a very nice way, which is
Speaker 1: not normal because he will usually just tell me like, hey,
Speaker 1: you were terrible, he said, Dave shake you, but you
Speaker 1: got the job done. In my humble opinion, y'all got
Speaker 1: caught up in the officiating. You gotta realize you're the leader,
Speaker 1: and many follows that being said, you hit a big
Speaker 1: three point shot and a couple of big stops was key.
Speaker 1: They follow your lead, but you're still up to all.
Speaker 1: Good luck, brother, and that I knew exactly what he
Speaker 1: was saying. He didn't need to say much more. Um,
Speaker 1: and I responded to him, I said, coach, you're one
Speaker 1: thousand percent right. I let my emotions go overboard, and
Speaker 1: the team did follow. I have to be better, but
Speaker 1: it short us feel good to win. And like I said,
Speaker 1: I knew exactly right away what he was saying. Um,
Speaker 1: I knew I needed to be better in that department
Speaker 1: and not let that affect my game negatively. And I
Speaker 1: think it had really affected my game negatively in game two,
Speaker 1: which ultimately affected us as a team negatively. Now we
Speaker 1: were able to win the game, and you know, when
Speaker 1: you can learn from your mistakes, would have win. Take that,
Speaker 1: and so I'll take it and just continue to move forward.
Speaker 1: But I had I knew that I had to be
Speaker 1: better in that department coming into this game, and I
Speaker 1: thought I did a much better job there. And so
Speaker 1: obviously we're up three. Oh um, close out game, which
Speaker 1: we know is always the hardest game. Uh, this team
Speaker 1: is not going to come out and quit. They're not quitters.
Speaker 1: They're not led by acquitter that's a coach, and they're
Speaker 1: not led by their main guy is an acquitter either.
Speaker 1: So we're not expecting that. But ultimately, if we come out,
Speaker 1: we execute our game plan, we play our brandom basketball.
Speaker 1: We should go back to San Francisco UM as a
Speaker 1: participant in the NBA Finals. And man, does that sound good?
Speaker 1: Because it's been a long cover year. I mean two
Speaker 1: years ago we won fifteen games. Let that resonate for
Speaker 1: a minute, five team games. I was ready to pull
Speaker 1: all my gray hairs out. Uh tow your I mean
Speaker 1: that's where quite a few of these came from, too.
Speaker 1: You better know it, um. But to go from fifteen
Speaker 1: games two years ago, now obviously these little foods, gold
Speaker 1: clay was out. Stuff was out, we get it. But
Speaker 1: still was fifteen games. And it's still the same organization
Speaker 1: that won fifteen games. And here we are with an
Speaker 1: opportunity to close out a series on the road and
Speaker 1: head back to the NBA Finals. And I am thrilled.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love when I go on T and T
Speaker 1: and do the whole inside thing, but much rather be
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. And so we have that opportunity.
Speaker 1: We have to make sure that we take advantage of it. UM,
Speaker 1: come out. I think one of the big keys in
Speaker 1: the game for US tonight was holding Reggie Bullock to
Speaker 1: zero points. You know, those guys come home, they get
Speaker 1: they get their shots going, and maybe he ended up
Speaker 1: scoring late, but for the majority of the game, I
Speaker 1: know he has zero points. I'm not sure if he
Speaker 1: Jackson said he did finish with zero, And I thought
Speaker 1: that was a huge key because when they get those
Speaker 1: guys going, you already have to send a couple of
Speaker 1: bodies at Luca, and when they get those guys going
Speaker 1: and they're just knocking shots left and right, there really
Speaker 1: really really tough team to beat. So that was a
Speaker 1: big deal for us, um you know, and I think, uh,
Speaker 1: if we can do some of that next game. Obviously
Speaker 1: you may not hold him zero is probably gonna hit
Speaker 1: the shot. He shoots the ball, but if we can
Speaker 1: contain him, uh dr and Phinney Smith Spencer, then with
Speaker 1: the better spencer, then we had a really good game tonight.
Speaker 1: Jalen Bronson Luca. It's tough to stop and Wiggins is
Speaker 1: doing an incredible job. But you're never gonna hold him
Speaker 1: a ten points or zero point. It's just not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And so you have to do the job where you
Speaker 1: can do the job, and I think we've done a
Speaker 1: good job of that for the most part in this series.
Speaker 1: So Game four on Tuesday will be a fun one. Um.
Speaker 1: We have to come out and take care of the
Speaker 1: ball like we did tonight, especially at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the game. We really put an emphasis on taking care
Speaker 1: of the ball at the beginning of the game and
Speaker 1: getting shots up, and we did a really good job.
Speaker 1: But that's so that's gonna be a big key, um,
Speaker 1: making sure we get off to a good start. You
Speaker 1: know they're gonna come out, They're gonna throw a haymaker
Speaker 1: to start the game. Everybody does, especially down three oh,
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got nothing to lose. No one's
Speaker 1: gonna quit. So we have to be able to win
Speaker 1: standing the haymaker. And if we can win standing the
Speaker 1: haymaker and punch back, then the doubt starts to set in.
Speaker 1: And if we can get the doubt to set in,
Speaker 1: you make it, for lack of a better term, a
Speaker 1: lot easier on yourself, because it's never easy, but you
Speaker 1: make it a little easier on yourself. So take the haymaker,
Speaker 1: respond and then let it play out how it may.
Speaker 1: But hopefully the next time I talk to you all,
Speaker 1: we will be up for the zero and done with
Speaker 1: this series and moving on to the NBA Finals. Actually,
Speaker 1: before we move on. I'd be remissed if I didn't
Speaker 1: talk about Andrew Wiggins dun Dunking on someone is incredible.
Speaker 1: You get, you know, momentum. It just feels good to
Speaker 1: dunk on somebody. But to dunk on Luca, that's a
Speaker 1: different that's a different thing. You know. That's like, it's
Speaker 1: one thing to dunk on somebody's great, but when you
Speaker 1: dunk on one of the guys, like like Luca, as
Speaker 1: we all know Luca, one of them was he wanted
Speaker 1: the guys, Like when you get to when you get
Speaker 1: dunk on one of the guys, it's like much much
Speaker 1: bigger and such an incredible dunk um. I hate that
Speaker 1: it was the play was stopped by the offensive file call.
Speaker 1: And although it's you know, we still got the two
Speaker 1: points in the dunk counted, it just sucks that those
Speaker 1: emotions weren't able to be felt right then during that game,
Speaker 1: like once the once the review happens and accounts and
Speaker 1: all of that, like that's cool, but it's not the
Speaker 1: same emotion then when when the dunk just happened, like
Speaker 1: Luca has to get up off the floor and dribble
Speaker 1: the ball up and Wiggins is picking him up fourth quarter, like,
Speaker 1: that's a totally different thing, and that's a totally different emotion.
Speaker 1: And so it kind of sucks that the play just
Speaker 1: didn't go on and you didn't get to feel that
Speaker 1: emotion what that dunk should have brought um. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: it is a highlight. It's one that will probably be
Speaker 1: the biggest hot sash top highlight on Andrew Wiggins career highlights.
Speaker 1: Absolutely amazing. We've been telling Wigs slash asking him for years. Wiggs,
Speaker 1: when you go to the hole, just try to dunk,
Speaker 1: like we don't care if you make it or miss it.
Speaker 1: Nine times out of ten if you try it, he
Speaker 1: jumped so high and the pogo stick nine times out
Speaker 1: of ten, you're probably going to make it or get filed.
Speaker 1: And he's attacking the rim aggressively like that. And man,
Speaker 1: that was an incredible play. And I had a front
Speaker 1: row seat better than anyone else in that arena. It
Speaker 1: was beautiful to see. Very exciting day for me, Uh
Speaker 1: not so much for Jackson. Last twenty four hours. Jackson,
Speaker 1: would you like to start off speaking about your your Celtics.
Speaker 1: I think I think we can leave it to you.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit I'm a little disappointed. I don't
Speaker 1: know how the Celtics have only last two quarters but
Speaker 1: are down to one in this series. That's all right,
Speaker 1: It's all right. It sounds sounds very similar to Minnesota
Speaker 1: and Memphis. Minnesota at one point they won four games
Speaker 1: and was down three to two, so they were a
Speaker 1: little worse off. But I think when I'm watching the
Speaker 1: game number one, the heat came out last night or
Speaker 1: two last night like they were piste off, like like
Speaker 1: like they were facing elimination. Um. The intensity level that
Speaker 1: they came out with was absolutely incredible. And I know
Speaker 1: I said this before a game too. I was a
Speaker 1: little off by one game. It happened in game three,
Speaker 1: but I told you all, Bam A Tobayo was gonna
Speaker 1: come out way more aggressive offensively than he had been.
Speaker 1: And he didn't really so much in game two and
Speaker 1: part of the reason they got washed. But Game three,
Speaker 1: Bam came out hum and he's sixteen first half points,
Speaker 1: which is absolutely incredible. But he dominated on the paint
Speaker 1: and I and he took total advantage of Robert Williams
Speaker 1: being out. You know, Robert Williams in that pain. There's
Speaker 1: a lot tougher matchup, not that BAM can't still do
Speaker 1: what he's done, but it's a lot tougher matchup, and
Speaker 1: Robert Williams is around that room, and I think BAM
Speaker 1: took total advantage of Robert Williams being out and BAM
Speaker 1: out off to a great start. He looked like the
Speaker 1: BAM out to buyou that we all know that we
Speaker 1: all have grown to love. And then everyone else filled
Speaker 1: in around that. Then Max Strewth started hitting shots. Um,
Speaker 1: Max Stru's hit some big shots by the way, Uh,
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowi, uh start hitting a few shots, and and
Speaker 1: Tyler hero I. They're gonna have to lean on Tyler
Speaker 1: hero a lot more, especially if Jimmy is not out
Speaker 1: and BAM is going to have to continue being that
Speaker 1: BAM that we saw in Game three, because they're going
Speaker 1: to they're going to need offense. Kyle Lowery's first game
Speaker 1: back after I mean, he's essentially missed a better part
Speaker 1: of the last five or six weeks, and I'm not
Speaker 1: so sure that you can expect a bunch from Kyle
Speaker 1: just because he's still finding this rhythm. Kyle's a pro
Speaker 1: cows the champion. He's been doing this, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be shocked if Kyle had a good game, but I
Speaker 1: also wouldn't go independent on it because he does have
Speaker 1: to find this rhythm and so they're gonna need a
Speaker 1: lot for from Tyler Hero. But I thought the game
Speaker 1: really changed. And I know people say, oh, well the Celtics,
Speaker 1: I mean the Heat were up twenty six at one point,
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. They had gained total control of
Speaker 1: that game. Even when they were down eleven or twelve points,
Speaker 1: they were in total control of the game. And I
Speaker 1: thought the game really changed back from Miami with Victor
Speaker 1: Oladipo's defense on Jalen Brown because Jayson Tatum was struggling.
Speaker 1: Jt was struggling bad the whole game for the most part,
Speaker 1: and who had it going for them was Jaylen Brown.
Speaker 1: And Victor Oladipo came in, he got the stripped, then
Speaker 1: he made Jalen stumble when somebody else came over to steal,
Speaker 1: and then Jalen started getting off the ball. He wasn't
Speaker 1: an attack mode like that. And then it got to
Speaker 1: the point where if you were watching, Allen was an
Speaker 1: attack mode when Vick wasn't on him, and as a
Speaker 1: defender there's no better feeling like, Oh, this guy don't
Speaker 1: think he can score on me anymore, so he's just
Speaker 1: gonna wait, wait, wait, then he gets somebody else and
Speaker 1: he's gonna attack as a defender. That's an advantage to
Speaker 1: the defender because I know now like, oh, he don't
Speaker 1: want to see me. So when I get on him again,
Speaker 1: I'm getting that stop because he really don't believe he
Speaker 1: can score on me anymore. Now, not that Jalen Brown
Speaker 1: can't score on Victor Oladipo, but last night he struggled
Speaker 1: and Vic looked absolutely amazing. I was impressed with Vick's
Speaker 1: lateral movement coming off the injuries that he's come off.
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet if you stuck Victor Oladipo
Speaker 1: right here, right now he couldn't move latterly like that.
Speaker 1: That's no disrespected Victor. My point is is that's a
Speaker 1: dog for you, that's a gamer. That's like you put
Speaker 1: me in any situation, I'm getting it done. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Victor can still move latterly, as he showed us last night.
Speaker 1: My point, more so was Vick has been a dog
Speaker 1: since I've seen him play and played against him at
Speaker 1: Indiana coming from d C d M v I, You're
Speaker 1: you're bred that way. And to see him go in
Speaker 1: that game after not playing in the first half, Jimmy
Speaker 1: goes down with an injury and he comes in piste
Speaker 1: off and you know what most people are gonna do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come in taking bad shots, like I can
Speaker 1: show you I can score, and like I'm gonna show
Speaker 1: you what I can do on offensive end. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: He came in and showed you what he can do
Speaker 1: on the defensive end, because, believe it or not, that's
Speaker 1: what's gonna keep you on the floor. Because Jalen Brown
Speaker 1: ain't coming off the floor. Jason Tatum ain't coming off
Speaker 1: the floor. You need someone to guard those guys p
Speaker 1: J's garden, j t You need somebody to guard Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1: And so I thought his mindset and how he approached
Speaker 1: that was after relutely fabulous is showed up on Maybe
Speaker 1: not in a stat sheet, but it definitely showed up
Speaker 1: if you were watching the game and knew what you're
Speaker 1: looking at. And most importantly, it helped them pull out
Speaker 1: a much needed win going into Boston, Tide one on
Speaker 1: one they took back home court advantage, and now we'll
Speaker 1: see going in tomorrow if they can get greedy, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be very, very important that Jimmy Butler can get
Speaker 1: out there and play in Game four. But if not,
Speaker 1: someone else has step up. If I'm guessing Jimmy probably
Speaker 1: won't play. Because if you're the Heat and you're like,
Speaker 1: maybe he can play, maybe he can't, then are is
Speaker 1: your thought process? We took home court advantage back. We
Speaker 1: can get him another couple of days of rest to
Speaker 1: let the inflammation settle down that they said was there,
Speaker 1: and then we'll have him back at home. The only
Speaker 1: tricky thing about that is in the playoffs, you you
Speaker 1: always want to give your best shot because all it
Speaker 1: takes for one game to change the series. Um, all
Speaker 1: it takes is one slip up and you go home
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you look up and
Speaker 1: you're down three two, like, WHOA, but I thought he
Speaker 1: was getting Jimmy back, and and so you never want
Speaker 1: to squander away an opportunity in the playoffs. So, and
Speaker 1: we know how tough Jimmy is, and we know how
Speaker 1: tough the Miami organis, Miami Heat organization is, and so
Speaker 1: if Jimmy can be out there. Jimmy's gonna be out there.
Speaker 1: But sometimes the thought process is, uh, we're going back
Speaker 1: or we're getting at a couple of days. You take
Speaker 1: those extra couple of days. So we'll see. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting because that's that's gonna play a big part
Speaker 1: in the Miami Heat team that we see take the
Speaker 1: court in Game four. I'm expecting JT to have a
Speaker 1: much better game, but you also have to give credit
Speaker 1: to p J Tucker's defense. P J tuckers all over him.
Speaker 1: He's he's playing physical, and you know p J deserves
Speaker 1: that credit. But I do expect JT to get it
Speaker 1: going more. Marcus Smart came back in the game and
Speaker 1: he was huge. Now, Smarty, we do got to talk
Speaker 1: about you screaming and y'alling like that champ and coming
Speaker 1: back in the game. There must be something going on
Speaker 1: in Boston because that seems to be a thing of
Speaker 1: guy's leaving the game and agonizing pain allot of Paul
Speaker 1: Piers and come Paul Piers got wheelchaired off. That's a
Speaker 1: whole another level of like I'm hurt to get taken
Speaker 1: off in a wheelchair and come back in the game.
Speaker 1: But I tell you what it sh'll be feeling like
Speaker 1: Rocky interests with them guys coming back to the game Boston.
Speaker 1: JT went out for a second, came back. It feels
Speaker 1: like them people chatting for Rocky when them boys coming
Speaker 1: back in there. But Marcus Smart came back in. He
Speaker 1: played in the credible game. As soon as he got
Speaker 1: back in. I knew that three was going in as
Speaker 1: soon as he put the ball down. That's just who
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart is. You have to expect that. But big
Speaker 1: game for them tomorrow. And actually Marcus Smart kept them
Speaker 1: in a game offensively because Vic, like I said, started
Speaker 1: getting to j B. J T was already struggling. Where
Speaker 1: were they getting the points from. Marcus Smart was the
Speaker 1: one creating everything offensively, which kept them in the game
Speaker 1: and actually gave him a chance. I think at one
Speaker 1: point they cut at the nine two and maybe but yeah,
Speaker 1: they cut at the nine and so and and it
Speaker 1: was it was Marcus. Marcus was making plays, getting off
Speaker 1: the ball, making shots, getting to the rim. And so
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a very aggressive Marcus Smart tomorrow. But I'm
Speaker 1: also expecting JT to play better as well. And I
Speaker 1: have the Miami heat tying up the series. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I have the Boston Celtics tying up the series to
Speaker 1: the two headed back to Miami. Um, I'm interested to
Speaker 1: see if Jimmy plays. That's huge for the Miami Heat.
Speaker 1: But I got it going back to Miami tied up
Speaker 1: to the two. Looking at a long six or seven
Speaker 1: games series. That's what I'm thinking we shall see. But
Speaker 1: before we get out of here because I need to
Speaker 1: get some rest, although I don't sleep after games. By
Speaker 1: the way, before we get out of here, we got
Speaker 1: a couple of mailback questions. Jack's You've got the mail
Speaker 1: back questions for us. I do reminder to hashtag the
Speaker 1: Draymond Green Show on Twitter to submit your questions, and
Speaker 1: also reminder to follow the new Instagram account at Draymond Show.
Speaker 1: We still have a jersey giveaway active, so just go
Speaker 1: follow comment with a friend's name on that post. It
Speaker 1: will be entered into the jersey giveaway. But for now,
Speaker 1: the mail bag. First one from at playoff Draymond. What
Speaker 1: is Draymond's favorite game winning defensive stop? My god, Charlie,
Speaker 1: that's my man, Charlie. Um, what's my favorite game winning
Speaker 1: defensive stop? That's a good question from Charlie. You know,
Speaker 1: you know who actually knows and probably has the answer
Speaker 1: to this question, Charlie, Charlie. Charlie knows all this stuff
Speaker 1: better than me. Um, my favorite one, I'd have to
Speaker 1: think long and deep for my favorite one. But what
Speaker 1: I will tell you as be being that I have
Speaker 1: a couple already. This playoff run the Jaren Jackson just
Speaker 1: jumps out at me. Why because Jared was having a
Speaker 1: good game Number one, number two. That's my little brother,
Speaker 1: and if he hits that shot and having a game
Speaker 1: that he's having, I never hear the end of it. Um,
Speaker 1: It's just like when Miles Bridges gave me with that
Speaker 1: trash hookie through and in Charlotte, Like I went to
Speaker 1: the group chat right away, I gave Draymond blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Actually I told them like, yo, y'all,
Speaker 1: Miles just gave me because I knew Myles was on
Speaker 1: this way. You're like, yeah, I was just about to
Speaker 1: come tell y'all know, And I would have never heard
Speaker 1: the end of that, and especially with the game Jaren
Speaker 1: was having, and so that just felt great to me
Speaker 1: for my own personal reasons as far as overall though, Man, Charlie,
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring Charlie on the show, and Charlie gonna
Speaker 1: run a defensive clinic for y'all with with with with
Speaker 1: with my highlights and tell you which one was the best.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get back to you on now
Speaker 1: with Charlie from JMO at JMO seven seven zeros here
Speaker 1: at one. How long does it take to break down
Speaker 1: game film? It doesn't take very long, um, JMO, because
Speaker 1: they cut out all of you know, they cut out
Speaker 1: all of the in between stuff. So and looking at
Speaker 1: the game film, it's usually forty six to forty nine
Speaker 1: minutes or so of actual game time when you're sitting
Speaker 1: here watching, and so it doesn't really take that long. Now,
Speaker 1: where it gets tricky as you start watching over and
Speaker 1: over and over again, because just like any movie, if
Speaker 1: you go watch a movie right now and then you
Speaker 1: watch it again tomorrow, you're gonna see something different that
Speaker 1: you missed. And so where where it gets tricky, and
Speaker 1: and you're watching a bunch of films, you're watching that
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, seeing different things, you know,
Speaker 1: and catching different things, and like, oh man, we can
Speaker 1: do that here, we can do that there, and so
Speaker 1: that's where it gets tricky. It's just the amount of
Speaker 1: times that you're watching it over and over again. But
Speaker 1: watching the actual film, it doesn't take a ton of
Speaker 1: a bunch of times. Obviously you're stopping and starting, you're rewinding,
Speaker 1: and so realistically, to breakdown one game for me normally
Speaker 1: takes like an hour and fifteen to an hour. But
Speaker 1: then it was, like I said, those hours climb once
Speaker 1: you watch it over and over again, as you could
Speaker 1: imagine last one from Mitch at Mitch Bread, what's your
Speaker 1: proudest moment, not on the basketball court, My probast moment,
Speaker 1: not on the basketball court, is I live at daily
Speaker 1: and that's um, having an incredible fiance, that's having incredible children, UM,
Speaker 1: and being the best man that I can be for
Speaker 1: them on a daily basis. And the reality is and
Speaker 1: sometimes you fall shorter that and you know every day
Speaker 1: it's a new day and you're chasing that greatness on
Speaker 1: that side of things. But for me, um, that is
Speaker 1: my biggest accomplishment slash my proudest moment. It's my family. UM.
Speaker 1: They are everything to me. They make it all worth it.
Speaker 1: They make getting up in the morning when I don't
Speaker 1: feel like getting up, Um, they make that possible. And
Speaker 1: then the support that I received from them and just
Speaker 1: being able to do what I can to give back
Speaker 1: to them, that that's always what I'm most proud of.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that Miss Brad giving me an opportunity to talk
Speaker 1: about my family. Absolutely love them, They're absolutely amazing. Until
Speaker 1: next time from The Draymond Green and Show. Hopefully the
Speaker 1: next time I am talking to y'all, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: we're headed to the NBA Finals. That's how it should be.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's how it's gonna be. We'll see. Until next time.
