1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: So Nos Baby.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't even have to look at

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: the script for this one. My house is a Sono's house.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: If you're a regular listener to this show, you know

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: that I'm a bit of an audio file, kind of

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: insufferable about it. I'm obsessed with sound quality matters. That's

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: why I have Sonos speakers all over the damn place.

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: The first thing you do when you get a Sono

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: speaker is he give it a name. Now, I could

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: have named them for each room they're in, but where's

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: a fun in that. In the kitchen, we got the

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: Olsen Twins. They're a stereo pair.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: Makes sense.

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: Dining room, why that's mister Carson, of course. And we

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: got Coach Steve down in the garage because that's where

16
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: we've been working out. And we just got the brand

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: new son No's Move, which we call Mauvernie of course,

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: because he's always on the move and he's always on

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: the run. I love mo Vernie. He works just like

20
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: the twins, mister Carson and Coach Steve, but he runs

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: on a battery and I can take him anywhere I

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: want inside or outside of that house. And if I'm

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: not around Wi Fi I can connect my phone to

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: it via Bluetooth. The battery lasts for up to eleven hours,

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: and it's durable weather resistance design is perfect for outdoor listening.

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: Soos works with all your streaming services and control the

00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: here on a Tuesday. But let's start with the games.

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: Recapping some beauties yesterday in the Association. Chris Paul delivers

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: in the clutch Baby thunder win one oh four one

65
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: hundred to force game seven versus Houston.

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: Oh, zasa, we're going to game seven, baby, Game seven, Game.

67
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: Seven, All right, task, get it started man.

68
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Game seven, baby, Yeah, this was a really close game,

69
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: each team just enough but also making a lot of mistakes.

70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was the team who wasn't going to

71
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: make the most mistakes that was going to win this game,

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: because they had a combined forty one turnovers giving up

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and it came down to the last few minutes.

74
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: You had James Harden Russell Westbrook against the closers of

75
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Chris Paul and Dennis Shruder on the other side. It's

76
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: four to twenty left. The Rockets are up six after

77
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: they hit a tech free throw because Chris Paul was angry,

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, the president of the Players Association, doing an

79
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: air punch. That man knows the rules better than anybody

80
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: in the game. And I thought, you're going down in

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: this bubble like that, getting upset about a Dennis Shrud

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: charge call. Down six, four to twenty left. I thought

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: it was over, and then boom, Chris Paul turns into

84
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: the closer that he is that we know, two huge

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: threes back to back. Shrewder hit a layup and then

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: CP with a couple free throws. And on the other side,

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the Rockets couldn't hit a shot down the stretch last

88
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: four to twenty. They hit one basket. It was a

89
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, but that was sandwich in between a couple

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: real bad turnovers from Russ and a jumper from the

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: free throw line that was an airball by sure shit

92
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: way short. But what was really weird was that he

93
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: kept up the goose neck. He followed through on the shot.

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: You keep up the goose neck when you bury a shot,

95
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: but he kept it up. Is like he was looking

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: to see it. Did I actually missed that? I don't

97
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: know he was. He was startled by that miss and

98
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: it was startling to see him miss by that much

99
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: and to just give the ball up twice. So Harden

100
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: and Westbrook couldn't close that thing out. You got to

101
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: expect Westbrook to have a better Game seven because he

102
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: had seven turnovers in this one zero the game before.

103
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: But what's really scary is that Westbrook's still on a

104
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: min's restriction, and he knew after the game he said, yeah,

105
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I'll be on a minist restriction in Game seven, So

106
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: he's obviously not right. Not to make excuses for those ugly,

107
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: ugly turnovers and people saying, why didn't James Harden have

108
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: the ball? Yeah, yeah, hindsight, James Harden has messed up

109
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: in this series as well. Close game down the stretch.

110
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have another close Game seven.

111
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, yea, the CP was the story, especially because

112
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Gallinari chipped in with twenty five. Shay had enough enough,

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, giving them something in lou Dort. Lou Dort

114
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: hit a couple threes in this game. I think he

115
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: can only shoot from the right side of the floor.

116
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: I think that's legally. He's not gonna be able to

117
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: shoot from the left side of the floor in Game seven.

118
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is what we all sort of predicted,

119
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: these close games. And what's weird is that the Thunder

120
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: finish out close games and the Rockets are winning in

121
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: blowouts in this series, So I think that sort of

122
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: favors the Thunder going into Game seven. But I don't know.

123
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: I can't see Westbrook and hard and two Max dudes

124
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: closing out Game seven like that.

125
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: Again, the daggers from Chris Paul didn't stop after the

126
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: game either. After he hit those two threes, in Covington's eye.

127
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: He said, quote, did Jereed Greenberg when it gets to

128
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: clutch time fourth quarter? Some people built for it, some

129
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: people shy away from it. Trey, Oh, is that a

130
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: dagger in a hardened Westbrook guy? Right there?

131
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 6: Look, man, I said, I'm not gonna say anything bad

132
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 6: about Chris Paul this year. He's been incredible. In his

133
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 6: interview with Jared Greenberg, he also dropped a dumb and

134
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 6: dumber quote.

135
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: It was a piece they resistance talking to JG there.

136
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: Chris Paul, though he was incredible, It's like you never

137
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 6: expect him to miss up, to mess up in clutch time,

138
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 6: since I'm saying only nights things right now. Whereas Westbrook

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 6: just honestly gave the game away. That was that was

140
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 6: the problem. It's like, yeah, Harden should have had the ball,

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 6: because then it would have meant that Westbrook didn't have

142
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 6: the ball, and it would mean Westbrook was passing the

143
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 6: ball to somebody who could actually catch it. That that

144
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: was bad Russ right there. That was We've talked about

145
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: good Russ and bad Russ for basically the entirety of

146
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 6: his career, and that's the worst possible Westbrook. You could

147
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 6: have the short jumper, a couple of bad turnovers, and

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 6: just not being able to get the ball to Harden.

149
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 6: I mean, SJA was doing a pretty good job of

150
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 6: denying him up top. I thought D'Antoni could have probably

151
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 6: done something a little bit more spicy to actually free

152
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 6: Harden to get a to get a look. But he

153
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 6: can't go that long without touching the ball in clutch time.

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 6: I mean, maybe he doesn't have the greatest clutch reputation though.

155
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 6: Apparently you just got to hit a couple of shots

156
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 6: in a game in a series to get that clutch reputation.

157
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 6: But I would still rather have the ball. I would

158
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 6: still rather Harden have the ball because he was playing

159
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 6: hard too. I thought he was giving it on defense.

160
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 6: Chris Paul was certainly scoring on him. But there were

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: a couple of times when Harden would stand them up

162
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 6: and force a pass from CP three. And then he

163
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 6: had that nice save where he threw the ball off

164
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 6: Denilo Gallinari. He had the energy, he was ready to go,

165
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: just couldn't get the ball for whatever reason.

166
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alee, what do you think this is really the

167
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: Rocket's worst nightmare here? I mean, going to a Game seven,

168
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: you know I had this game. You know they could

169
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 3: have closed it out. They were up six, like Tass said,

170
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: and then you've got, yeah, the westbrooks CP three dynamic.

171
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: Here these two guys being traded for each other, and

172
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: it was the Rockets. Who you look at it, go,

173
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: oh yeah, this is for the immediate, this is the

174
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: short term up side, because we get Westbrook that'll get

175
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: us through a couple series here and then here they are.

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: They could lose to Chris Paul and you know they

177
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 3: gave up all those assets to make it happen.

178
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean trades rut. They like James Hodden hustled

179
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 7: last night, he played hot and on defense, he was

180
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 7: the only guy that Chris Paul couldn't kind of shake off,

181
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 7: I thought. But in those last critical moments, the big difference,

182
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 7: so I thought, between Hotten and Chris Paul was Chris

183
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 7: Paul demanded the ball and kept the ball to himself

184
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 7: and is like, I'm taking his team home, and James

185
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 7: Harden didn't do that. And I thought that's very, very

186
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 7: important because Westbrook was absolutely awful last night, but no

187
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 7: one forced him to give the ball up. James Harden

188
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 7: did say give me the ball. This is my team.

189
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 7: I should be the one who if we lose this.

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 7: James Harden wants to go out firing, not having Russell

191
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 7: Westbrook throw the ball away and then take those bad shots.

192
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 7: So I think that's a key key point here that

193
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 7: James Harden had a fantastic forty four minutes of this game.

194
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 7: Forty five minutes and you know those hustle players where

195
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 7: he's saving the ball from out of bunds, giving his

196
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 7: team an extra possession. Those are incredibly important in those moments.

197
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 7: But then and Chris Vernon sort of pointed out, there's

198
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 7: one play where he is just strolling down casually right

199
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 7: near at the end, and I just think that is

200
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 7: not a good look for him. And again I've referred

201
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 7: back to Chris Paul, who had the ball and he

202
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 7: basically kept it for the entire twenty four seconds at

203
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 7: the end because he's like, we're going out on my

204
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 7: watch if we go out, and he'll take that loss.

205
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 7: But instead he steps up those two massive threees, that

206
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 7: second one over Covington, I believe it was as time

207
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 7: was running out, gave him a little tap on the

208
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 7: butt to sort of say, hey, what do you think

209
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 7: of that? I mean that was just huge. And this

210
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 7: came after Chris Paul almost blew it for his team

211
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 7: by giving away a ridiculous technical foul because he was

212
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 7: wrong on the call for one, and then he knew

213
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 7: by throwing that throwing his hands that's going to get

214
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 7: you a tea that almost cost his team. Instead, he

215
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 7: was like, all right, I screwed up. Now it's my

216
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 7: responsibility here to take my team home, and he did that.

217
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 7: So was this was a weird game. I thought it

218
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 7: sort of felt to me that the Rockets were in

219
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 7: control and they just had to play a last couple

220
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 7: of decent minutes and they win this series and they

221
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 7: move on. Instead, now they're going to the worst situation

222
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 7: possible for them, which is a Game seven, and I

223
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 7: mean it's going to be a great game. You know,

224
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 7: the Rockets is by no means out of it or

225
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 7: anything like that, but they have to clean up how

226
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 7: they close out games, whereas you know, the thunder are

227
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 7: the best team at finishing. Chris Paul has shown all

228
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 7: season long that what he does in those fourth quarters

229
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 7: and in those clutch moments is win the game for

230
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 7: his team, and he did it again last night.

231
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: So it sounds like if you're laying a little bit

232
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: of bleam for this rocket slaice, you're looking at Harding

233
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: a bit more than Westbrook, well because you're saying bar.

234
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 7: But see, I don't want it to be like, oh

235
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 7: well I have a bias against Harden, but in those moments,

236
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 7: that's when your star player has like people are saying, well,

237
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 7: Westbrook had the ball, Harden's going to go up to

238
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 7: and say give me the ball, man, this is my team.

239
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 7: You've been terrible today. And he didn't do that. He

240
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 7: was kind of placid in that moment. And so and

241
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 7: again I think I've been fair to say James Harden

242
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 7: has been very good in this series, you know, at

243
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 7: most of the time, and he was very good yesterday.

244
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 7: But in that critical moment, the difference was Chris Paul

245
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 7: didn't let anyone else sort of have the ball for

246
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 7: his team. James Harden was kind of okay with Russell

247
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 7: Westbrook doing it, and Westbrook, I mean Westbrook made two

248
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 7: bad passes like he made of those seven turnovers, I

249
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 7: would say six of them were just terrible passes, like

250
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 7: not even close to people in the open court and

251
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 7: in transition. So he was having a bad game, and

252
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 7: again that's the that's the moment like that. Danila Gallinari

253
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 7: actually had a very good game for the Thunder and

254
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 7: in that third quarter got hot and you could see

255
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 7: he was demanding the ball, but Chris Paul was still like,

256
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 7: at the end of the game, it's my time.

257
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: But James Harden, James Harden wants somebody else to help

258
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: him out. That's why they win and got Chris Paul.

259
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: That's why Russell Westbrook is there. And it's not like

260
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: he didn't touch the ball at the end of the game.

261
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: And I know we're looking at Russell Westbrook because those

262
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: turnovers were horrendous. But James Harden did have a chance

263
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: to win this thing. He took a shot. It's tied

264
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: at one hundred forty seconds left, it's James Harden time,

265
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: and he clanked the three. And then so the next possession, yeah,

266
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: that was that was Westbrook time. And so they were

267
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: sort of alternating. You know, when they're down, they're down

268
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: six points, that's amazing, it's exactly what they are.

269
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: No, that's what they did.

270
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: That's what you want James Harden to shoot every time down.

271
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 3: The Oh he's saying it's fifteen seconds left. You're down

272
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 3: too in a game, in a playoff game, I mean,

273
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: the best guy on your team should have the ball.

274
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone would disagree with that. Like, was

275
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: the ball supposed to come back to hert was Westbrook

276
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: kicking it to Covington was hardened then coming around the top.

277
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 3: There was tons of time left. It wasn't like there's

278
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: two seconds left when Westbrook through the ballway, So maybe

279
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: it was coming back to hard.

280
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: Come out you've got playing no, no, Yeah, Harden said

281
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: that Westbrook was gonna drive and he made a decision

282
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: that Yeah, he was cut off, so he made a

283
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: pass and it was a very very bad pass. I

284
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: just we've seen this play out with Harden before. He's

285
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: not gonna I don't know, he's not gonna shoot every

286
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: time down the stretch. I think that's but.

287
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 7: Why why not? Though? I mean, like look the looks

288
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 7: that they got and the possessions they had, I mean,

289
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 7: surely you want the ball in James Harden's hand. Then

290
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 7: if I'm like d Antonia, I'm like Jamess, James drive in,

291
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 7: you know, shake you off your defender, get a step

292
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 7: back through whatever you feel comfortable with this is your team. Man,

293
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 7: we pay you the big bucks. You go out and

294
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 7: finish it off, like what you see from Chris Paul,

295
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 7: like what you see from Damian Lillard, like what you

296
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 7: see from Jimmy Butler. That's the guy you should be

297
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 7: on this team.

298
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: I know. But we're forgetting Harden. It's it's they're down,

299
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: they're down six points. Harden's got the ball. I'm sorry,

300
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: They're up six points, four minutes left. It looks like

301
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: it's over Harden. This is a three, then a minute

302
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: later turns it over. Then but a minute later misses

303
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: a three. It's not like he wasn't touching it. They

304
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: were just taking turns because they're the two max dudes

305
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: on the team. I don't know, if you look back

306
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: in Harden's history, he's not winning series on his own.

307
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: That's just not how it works. So I don't know

308
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: why you would expect it to happen.

309
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: Yes, well, but again he can't.

310
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 7: He can't shy away from that moment again when Westbrook's

311
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 7: having such a bad game there, it's got to be like, well,

312
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 7: this is my team, I'm going to do it. And

313
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 7: that's that's I think the difference right now, and I

314
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 7: just think if he misses those shots, you got to

315
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 7: forget about them and take the next one. James Harden,

316
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 7: we see all the time he can beat anyone, he

317
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 7: can drive inside, he can get that shot off anytime

318
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 7: he wants. But if he doesn't have the ball in

319
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 7: his hand, he doesn't demand it, then he can't then

320
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 7: sort of look around and hope one of his other

321
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 7: teams gets him over the line. It's sure from time

322
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 7: to time, but in that moment when the series is

323
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 7: on the line, I thought, I thought it was very

324
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 7: disappointing to see. And you know, people people think that

325
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 7: I hate James Harden. I don't hate him lot. He's

326
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 7: a fantastic play He's incredibly talented. But in that moment,

327
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 7: in that key moment, he went missing out thought and

328
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 7: that's that's just bad for him.

329
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: I hate to ask this, but would the Rockets have

330
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: closed out this series? Is what if west Westbrook excuse me,

331
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: never came back Eric Gordon, I mean the sub theyre late,

332
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: I mean Eric Gordon was playing pretty damn well. It

333
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: was a big part of that little Rockets run and

334
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: then you know Westbrook's in there, and I don't know,

335
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: it's possible. I think with how close these games are

336
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: and how rough Russ has looked. I mean, look, he's

337
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: looked bad. The Rockets, Harden and Westbrook for that matter,

338
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: if they don't win this game seven and move on

339
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: past the thunder here, they will never I don't think

340
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: they'll ever hear the end of it. I mean it

341
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: will be a rap on them, like playoff, like potential

342
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: like and almost fairly you could almost then never be like,

343
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: oh yeah, they're a title The Rockets are supposed to

344
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: be a title contender, not not, you know, you know,

345
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: just getting past a very scrappy which we all had

346
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: this going, you know, along this series, but still they

347
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: had chances to close them out, and they sort of

348
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: lack that killer mentality. And maybe it's, yeah, some of

349
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: them hardened, shying away from it a little bit. Maybe

350
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: it's Russ forcing things. Maybe it's D'Antoni checked out because

351
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: he's already moving on. I don't know, but this would

352
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: be bad, right, Trey, Like, if they don't pull this

353
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: out in game seven, this would be very very bad.

354
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 6: So it sounds like you're saying it'll be a huge

355
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 6: mark for the positive if they do pull out a

356
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 6: Game seven when it's christ Paul. It goes either way, right, Yeah,

357
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 6: I mean, of course they'll get crushed if they lose

358
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 6: a first round series, even though it feels like a

359
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 6: lot of people were picking the Thunder and saying that

360
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 6: they were basically the favorites. Yeah, it's a story, but yeah,

361
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 6: I don't know. You know, James Harden at one point

362
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 6: set the playoff record for turnovers in an elimination game,

363
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 6: and his reputation hasn't really recovered from that. But he

364
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: goes out and he scores thirty five a game during

365
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 6: the regular season, and he convinces you they got a chance.

366
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 6: And honestly, home court advantage is real. The home team

367
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 6: has won every single game of this series. So the

368
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 6: Rockets gotta be feeling good going into Game seven.

369
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

370
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, if the Rockets continue to drive

371
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 7: the ball, they'll win Game seven because that's what they do.

372
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 7: They can score easily, They get into the paint so easily.

373
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 7: Steven Adams was okay yesterday, but he hasn't been great

374
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 7: in this series. But I just find that whenever the

375
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 7: Rockets just continually drive the ball, they get clean looks

376
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 7: and they get so many opportunities to score easily on

377
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 7: the thunder, and I think that's what they should focus

378
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 7: on in Game seven. It's going to be a tight game.

379
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 7: The ten game sevens tend to be go inside. Just

380
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 7: keep attacking the paint, keep attacking the paint, because there

381
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 7: is the thunder. Defense is not good. It has not

382
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 7: been good in this series, particularly on the perimeter. And

383
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 7: they've got Gordon who can get inside hard, and of

384
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 7: course he can get inside, and then Westbrook. I mean,

385
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 7: that's the one thing he can do, is he can

386
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 7: get in the paint. He wasn't sort of able to

387
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 7: finish all that well last night, but he can get inside.

388
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 7: Keep attacking, try to get guys in foul trouble. I

389
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 7: think that is their key to winning this game seven.

390
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, what I love about this bubble schedule is that

391
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: this game goes tomorrow, right, Like, I love that we can,

392
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 3: like guess, get right to it, because you know, when

393
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: it's the regular playoffs and we're traveling around, there's like

394
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: sometimes two or three games a days excuse me between

395
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: some of these games, and it's like, by the way,

396
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: you know, you're caught up in other games, and then Okay,

397
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: oh yeah, now it's game seven days later. I love

398
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: that it's tomorrow. I absolutely love it. And yeah, I

399
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: have no clue. I mean I was with Trey. You

400
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: convinced me Rockets and seven, so that's still in play.

401
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 3: A lot of you guys I think had Thunder and seven.

402
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: So you know we're gonna find out here. But I'll

403
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: tell you what, if it's a close game, that's good.

404
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: A favorite Chris Paul and the Thunder because they've proved

405
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: it all season long. And as we talked about, the

406
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 3: Rockets with their star players, can come up short at

407
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: times in clutch moments.

408
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: We got John Schuman on the horn here. Okay's listening in,

409
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: So Johnny, do your work. Pull up a Schumann stat

410
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: my man, and find out James Harden's stats game by game,

411
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: because I know it gets worse and worse as series

412
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: goes on, especially from the three point line. You know,

413
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: he scored and he was controlling the game in Game six,

414
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: but he didn't shoot well from the three point line,

415
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: and so I definitely agree he's got to go in

416
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: and drive and score because the three point shot, I

417
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but as series go on,

418
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the three point percentage gets worse and worse throughout his

419
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: So I want to see that game seven percentage, and

420
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be real ugly. These two

421
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: teams hate each other. They absolutely despise each other. Shrewder

422
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: hating this guy and this guy hating Tucker, hating everybody.

423
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: They absolutely will get some texts on Wednesday night, and

424
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But also I thought Dennis Shrewd

425
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: almost gave this game away and sort of the middle quarters,

426
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: he was just horrendous. He was the opposite of what

427
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: a point guard should be. He was giving Steven Adams

428
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: the ball on a break. He was not looking, you know,

429
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: at the right guy. Gallinari was hot and he passed

430
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: him over. He was just real bad. I don't know

431
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: if he was thrown off because of the punch to PJ.

432
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Tucker's testicles, but he looked like a totally different player

433
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: from the first part of this series. So they kind

434
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: of think the thunder got away with it not having

435
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: Shrewder play really well and the other guy's chipping in. Obviously. Hey,

436
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: that's why the series of seven games, it's it's pretty

437
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: evenly matched.

438
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: I mean, we talked about a Game five Gallinari was

439
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: a no show, like he lost his shoe. That's all

440
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 3: he did in Game five, and then was huge in

441
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: Game six and Dort hitting shots, I mean that was

442
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: big too. I mean he's gonna be left wide open.

443
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: He has to hit a couple of them, and he did,

444
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: and I thought it was pretty telling. Again, this speaks

445
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: to what you were talked about Trey with CP three

446
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: being a little bit more confident, right and trying to

447
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: build guys up. He's slipping in in that postgame interview again,

448
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: he's talking about like I'd go to war with Lou

449
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: Dort till the wheels fall off with this guy. You know,

450
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: he's trying to keep the kids confidence, like he's got

451
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: to hit some of these because it can't be four

452
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: on five basketball out there. So again, just Chris Paul

453
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: with that sly little leadership there sly little digs at

454
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 3: Westbrook and Harden because even threw in the Damian Lillard line.

455
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it was. It was a pretty good

456
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 3: performance in Game six. And then after talking to Jared Greenberg,

457
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: for sure he.

458
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 7: Was whacking nuts as well.

459
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: Again last night he gave yes, he did whack a

460
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: nut and then Trey and I on Twitter got to

461
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 3: figure out the rankings, like you know, if you're is

462
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 3: it a does it go flip can then tap and

463
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: then honk and then squeeze and you know, like you

464
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: trade did a great job. I mean, I'm thinking, I

465
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: don't know if you have in front of me there trade,

466
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: But that was unbelievable and I agreed with most of it.

467
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: It was interesting where you had honk and squeeze though

468
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: those are different, right because it's the force and the

469
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: duration of a Do you have that tweet in front

470
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: of it to take us through that?

471
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, this is I don't even know how many

472
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 6: of these I put in here, way too many, but

473
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 6: my order of most pleasant to least pleasant nutshots, grays, flick, honk, tap, tug,

474
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 6: elbow swipe, elbow strike, squeeze, uppercut, kick, knee stomp. People

475
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 6: were very worried about a stomp. You do not want

476
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 6: to be in a stomp situation. Even Chris Paul won't

477
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 6: go that far.

478
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

479
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, So the.

480
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: Only one was like, oh, do you have squeeze in

481
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: the right spot because you have it after elbow strike.

482
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 6: But for me, for me, a squeeze is gonna have

483
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 6: a lot of almost a girth behind it, but I

484
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 6: actually the strength behind it, you know, like getting there

485
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 6: and holding on for a long time, whereas a honk

486
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 6: you're just.

487
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, Durus and force are Yeah, that's a big

488
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: different Yeah.

489
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 5: But yeah, I guess what was?

490
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: What was westro what was?

491
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 7: It was kind of a graze really because he kind

492
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 7: of got him from behind, but and and Westbrook's reaction

493
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 7: sort of made it seem like it was worse than

494
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 7: it was. But I think, like most of us, any

495
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 7: sort of attention down there unexpected, you tend to sort

496
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 7: of flinch pretty strongly about it, you know, because I didn't.

497
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was one of those real, like

498
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: a real crack. Do you think that was an elbow grease?

499
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 7: Yeah? I think so.

500
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: I think so.

501
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 7: I think it was a graz Yeah. But man, someone's

502
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 7: nuts are getting I think in game seven. I mean,

503
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 7: I just make it through Game seven. He's had a

504
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 7: rough series. He's always on the ground, it seems to be,

505
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 7: he's always getting whacked and hit, and yeah, his nuts

506
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 7: have come under some fire as well. So just let's

507
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 7: let's keep the nuts, keep everyone's nuts clean. Please game seven, okay,

508
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 7: not a.

509
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: Man escaped at yet.

510
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 5: Very cool.

511
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, when we were talking about Grays, I thought we

512
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: were talking about manscaped hair color. Chall grays down there.

513
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 3: No, no, no, all right, So anything else from this

514
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: game before we move on?

515
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: Less flopping? I want less flopping in game seven. We're

516
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: serious that one, some of these guys. Yeah, come on,

517
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: come on, President of the Players Association. Less flopping, more

518
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: shot making.

519
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: I will say the final foul that put Chris Paul

520
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: to the line to hit his free throws to give

521
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: them the lead where we had the review right because

522
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 3: we had the challenge on whether it was a foul,

523
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: I thought in real time that Chris Paul actually fouled himself.

524
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if I was the only one that

525
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: thought this. There was like one angle where I saw

526
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 3: that it looked like he's driving, and I thought maybe

527
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 3: he didn't get hit by Covington or whoever, and then

528
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: like what like that like slapped his own norm. I'm like,

529
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: oh wow, that's next level. He's now fouling himself. To

530
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 3: sell it, of course, then they show the replaying and

531
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 3: definitely was hooked and it was the right call, and

532
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: that's why it is a little alarming that it didn't

533
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: never the ball never got to Harden. They had about

534
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: four minutes lead to draw something, you know, like hey,

535
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: or him to say, you know, no, I'm taking this shot,

536
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: like yeah. It was a little silly because they didn't

537
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: call time out after the mad free throws, but they

538
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: had all that time to Obviously, there.

539
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 7: Was a lot of a lot of stoppages in that

540
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 7: last couple of minutes there, with bulls going out of

541
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 7: bands and stuff. It took him far too long. I

542
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 7: mean that one. James Harden did say it felt like

543
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 7: they were looking at that for like three minutes. It's like,

544
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 7: come on, I mean, Spiro, I think with Sparrow on

545
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 7: the call, he was like and Chris Webber that like

546
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 7: you could see immediately, Okay, I believe it was right. Yeah,

547
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 7: but yeah, excuse me, but yeah, yes, yeah.

548
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 6: But they changed the clock as well. It was like

549
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 6: went from forty seconds to forty one something.

550
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 5: I had to check in.

551
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 6: Look, hey, what's good. Let's see what this clock says

552
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 6: about things. You got to keep your times rightly.

553
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: It was an impressive safe. It was huge him jumping out.

554
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 7: Elmuri didn't box out and it cost the team a position.

555
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, well let's move to the other

556
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: game from yesterday, another great one. Jimmy Butler scores forty

557
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: as the Heat topped the Bus one fifteen to one

558
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: O four for the one to zero series lead. People

559
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 3: that took the Heat in this series that are feeling

560
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: happy after game one because Jimmy Butler came to play

561
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: a league get started.

562
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, there's a lot of different angles I think

563
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 7: you could take with this money this game, but I

564
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 7: think the most important one is how Jimmy Butler just

565
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 7: closed it out once again. He just took his team

566
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 7: on his shoulders. And Chris Middleton, he absolutely gave him

567
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 7: a bath. Chris Middleton didn't have to have a shower

568
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 7: after that game. He was as clean as a baby's

569
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 7: bum because he was just honestly just watching Jimmy Butler score.

570
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 7: Like Jimmy Butler was just like, oh my god, I

571
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 7: am gonna eat this guy. I am gonna eat him.

572
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 7: He wasn't afraid at all, he wasn't uncomfortable, he wasn't

573
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 7: pushed out of his position. Jimmy Butler was like, okay, great,

574
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna score here. I might dunk it. I

575
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 7: might hear a little mid ranger.

576
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 5: I might even hit the three.

577
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 7: I'm not sure. But if Chris Middleton's on me, it

578
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 7: makes no difference whatsoever to what Tuype was shot. I'm getting.

579
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 7: And this now comes back to coach Mike Budenholz and

580
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 7: what he's going to do to try to change the

581
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 7: defensive assignment. Is he going to double him? Is he

582
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 7: going to maybe put Yannis on him? Or because George

583
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 7: Hill was on him for a little bit there, it

584
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 7: made no difference whatsoever, so I think. And for the

585
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 7: bark social point out, what's yeah, that's just about to

586
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 7: say no, Nerrik Randall. But even if they did have

587
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 7: Eric bledsoe, Jimmy Butler's not afraid of him. I don't

588
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 7: think either. But this is now the question about Mike

589
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 7: budenholder how he will adjust things on the defensive end

590
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 7: and on the offensive end because Yannis. The Miami heat

591
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 7: defense I thought was incredible. On Yannis, every time he

592
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 7: had the ball, there was either Crowder, either Igual Dollar

593
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 7: or the Bam whoever was there. Basically every time Yannis

594
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 7: had the ball there was a body. There was somebody there.

595
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 7: Knew in his face in his grill never let him

596
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 7: get comfortable, and the Bucks weren't able to overcome that.

597
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 7: So a couple of big storylines there, but again I

598
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 7: think the most important one is how the team that

599
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 7: won the game closed it out. They went to their leader,

600
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 7: he got their buckets, hit shots, and took their team home.

601
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 7: And then he had another He had a great post

602
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 7: game as well. He's hugging everyone. He's saying he's best

603
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 7: friend with everyone. Jimmy signed I'm not giving the ball

604
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 7: to anyone that I told my teammates and not getting

605
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 7: the ball, I mean like he.

606
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 5: Said fine, I mean they said fine. One a quote.

607
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 7: Oh my god.

608
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 5: So Jimmy had it all.

609
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 7: He had it on the quurt, he had it off

610
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 7: the quote end. I had a close. He got the

611
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 7: big win. And yeah, this one for the ones who

612
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 7: picked the sexy upset. You're feeling pretty sexy this morning.

613
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: You are, you are? Indeed? Yeah, Jimmy Butler scored fourteen

614
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: of his playoff career high forty points in the fourth quarter.

615
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 3: There thirteen to twenty from the field, twelve to thirteen

616
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: from the line, which he you know is one of

617
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: the best in the league. I getting there and two

618
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: for two from three. He really feels like to me,

619
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 3: and I mean this with the utmost respect, Tray, Jimmy

620
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: Butler feels like discount Kawhi Leonard. I mean, that's why

621
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 3: I'm always playing right now. He's like you no clutch

622
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: any shot he wants obviously brings it defensively. He's like

623
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: a discount Kawhi to me. He's not quite Kawhi Leonard

624
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: Leonard's level, but he's damn close.

625
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was doing If he was doing a my player,

626
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 6: he would have made his player exactly the same as

627
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard, but his skills were be a little bit down.

628
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 6: But he turned up the media savvy right, Like, that's

629
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 6: the difference is that Kawhi is a little bit better

630
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 6: on the court. Jimmy is way better off the court.

631
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 6: But I picked the Bucks. I don't think this series

632
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 6: is over, but I was regretting it hardcore watching Jimmy

633
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 6: take over in a playoff game.

634
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 5: Yet again.

635
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 6: This guy's one of my five favorite players in the

636
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 6: league probably, I've loved him for a long time, and

637
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 6: I had the gall to pick against them when this

638
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 6: team is flowing and he's actually in charge.

639
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: That was impressive.

640
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: Man.

641
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 6: He put the team on his back, you know. And

642
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 6: it started with Chris Middleton pretty hot in the first half,

643
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 6: and then Butler just eviscerated him. That was quite a performance.

644
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 6: So now the Bucks got to figure something out. The

645
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 6: good thing for them is that their adjustment should be

646
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 6: pretty easy. Play gi honest more and have Giannis play better.

647
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 6: Because the Bucks out shot the Heat from three, you

648
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 6: should win that game, especially if you got the double

649
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 6: MVP on your team.

650
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: Giannis has to be better. He's got to.

651
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 6: Play more, and maybe maybe he's got to guard Jimmy

652
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 6: Butler a little bit. He said afterwards, why would you

653
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 6: ask me if I wanted to guard Jimmy Butler? Like

654
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 6: he was shocked at even the idea of a defensive

655
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 6: player of the year guarding the best player on the

656
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 6: other team.

657
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 5: I thought that was a little strange.

658
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Giannis isn't always garden two guards,

659
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: but maybe he could do it for a few minutes

660
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter.

661
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And I think maybe the relationship or sort

662
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: of the match with Mike Budenholzer isn't a good one

663
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: because if you had a hard ass coach, he'd be

664
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: telling Giannis to go guard Jimmy Butler for at least

665
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: a possession or two, or somebody who needs to get

666
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: the most audience, or he'd be playing him forty minutes

667
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: a game. I think that's that's a situation that I

668
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be fixed. You say, play

669
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: Janis more. I know the whole internet is saying, yes,

670
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: stop playing ten eleven guys. When Eric Bledsoe comes back,

671
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be eleven guys in this rotation. I don't

672
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: think he's gonna shrink at at all. Frank Mason played

673
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: in this game of Frank Mason, Yeah, Frank Mason, the third,

674
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Wesley Matthews junior or senior. Who knows. There's all sorts

675
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: of those suffixes on this team that I don't know

676
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: if that's what Mike Budenholzer likes. But he just keeps

677
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 1: throwing these guys out there, and it didn't matter that

678
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: Jannis had some foul trouble. Really, that's not why he

679
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: only played thirty six minutes in this game. That's what

680
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Budenholzer does. He does it game after game after game,

681
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 1: and his job is definitely on the line. I think

682
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: if they get bounced here despite them being on pace

683
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: for a sixty plus win season. You know, it's you

684
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: got to get more out of Yannis. That's one hundred

685
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: percent true. He only had one basket in the fourth quarter,

686
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: and it was sort of midway through the fourth that

687
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: was before it all broke down towards the end there,

688
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of Chris Middleton, a lot

689
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: of brook at the end. And my big worry is

690
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: they still don't know how they finish games in playoff games,

691
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: and they got monstrous games from Chris Middleton and Brook Lopez.

692
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: Those are going to come back to Earth. Those shooting

693
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: percentages are going to slow down. And the big worry is,

694
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: yet you saw flashbacks of the Bucks versus the Raptors

695
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: last year where they don't know how to close things

696
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: out and you build a wall against Yannis and other

697
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: guys are going to have to make plays and there's

698
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: just not enough space out there. And I guess Bud

699
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: was trying to get space by getting Chris Middleton some

700
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: shots and getting brook Lopez some shots there at the

701
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: end of games, at the end of the game for

702
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Giannis to get free. But it ain't working. And so

703
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: we still haven't even seen that really really close game.

704
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: I know it kind of came down to the wire,

705
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a possession by possession game. And that's

706
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: the scary part for the Bucks. I still don't think

707
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: they know how this thing ends. And they had, as

708
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: as Trey said, incredible shooting percentages from three point Land

709
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: and incredible performances from their number two and number three guy.

710
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: They got some big, big worries, some huge worries going

711
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: into game two.

712
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was You're right, it was similar

713
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: to the Raptors beating them last year in terms of

714
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: like just the job they did at shutting off, putting

715
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: up the wall, whatever you want to call it. On Giannis,

716
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 3: he only had four shots in the restricted area. And

717
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: this lee was not a lot of just bam reasons,

718
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: which we thought, you know, we'll get matched up on

719
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: him and maybe can hang. It was Jae Crowder, it

720
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 3: was the Goodala, it was Jimmy Butler. They all saw

721
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: time on him and everybody. I mean, it was all

722
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: focused on Yon. But then when Jannie even got to

723
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: the line four for twelve, that's brutal. I mean, you're

724
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 3: not gonna win a series shooting what they shot like

725
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 3: fifty three percent from the pre throw line and all

726
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: the turnover. It's not gonna win a game or a

727
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: series like that. And then I thought, because of that

728
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 3: missing free throws too many bodies anytime he got in

729
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: there and couldn't get a nice shot up, that he

730
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: started settling. I thought Giannis took it was like it

731
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: was a close game, really close game, still five thirty

732
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: to go in the fourth quarter, so halfway through he

733
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: forced up brutal three. And if you're the heat you

734
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: are loving, you're like, go nuts, my man. You might

735
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: hit it. It's fine, it's not even an ugly shot,

736
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: but you're forcing that because you're a little worried about

737
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: what's going on inside there. You can't get past us,

738
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: and then even when you get to the line, you're missing.

739
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 3: So I think that got in his head a little bit.

740
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: And I think those comments about Butenholzer and being asked

741
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: about the defensive there was a lot of frustration there,

742
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: of course coming from Giannis. I thought that's how I

743
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: took it, and maybe he was sort of sticking up

744
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: for Botenholzer a little bit too, like the how dare

745
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 3: you ask me? I'll do anything. My coach wants. But

746
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: I'm with you, guys, there was there was something there

747
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: that he was pissed, probably out himself. His son is

748
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 3: watching him there in the front row. That's got to hurt.

749
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: You know. Liam's there, and.

750
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I think he was gone by the fourth quarter.

751
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: I think, oh, okay, well you didn't have to problem.

752
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: He didn't see that. Oh yeah, his little son was like,

753
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to watch this as brutal.

754
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 7: I think though, again, the credit he deserves to go

755
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 7: to Eric's bolstra. He had that team ready and prepared,

756
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 7: great defensive game plan. And pat Riley was in the

757
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 7: stands last night for the game, and Jimmy Butler apparently

758
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 7: he said up being appreciate you and and apparently pat Riley,

759
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 7: according to Sam Amick, said back, you're making my dreams

760
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 7: come true or something like this. I mean that pat

761
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 7: Riley's won championships, He's been around forever, but this is

762
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 7: his making his dreams come true. But again, this is

763
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 7: the Miami Heat kind of blueprint. They're always tough, they're

764
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 7: always defensively prepared, and no player on the Miami Heat.

765
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 7: You know, you remember when Jason Cappono came from the

766
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 7: Heat to the Raptors and said, well, he played under

767
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 7: pat Riley, so he knows how to play defense. And

768
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 7: I think that's just the way that's the mo O

769
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 7: for the for the Miami Heat. It's like, you've got

770
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 7: to learn to play defense, and if you play defense,

771
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 7: you're going to be on our team. And everyone who

772
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 7: came out onto the floor, and some of those smaller

773
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 7: guys well like Tyler Hero and Duncan Romson, you know,

774
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 7: not big guys, but they just know where to be,

775
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 7: they know how to you know, what position they're supposed

776
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 7: to be in. They get back in transition and they

777
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 7: do their role for the team even though they're not,

778
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 7: you know, the big intimidating defenders like they had to

779
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 7: do have on that team. So that's the thing with Miami.

780
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 7: They know that if they can slow down that Bucks

781
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 7: offense and keep the game tight, they've got a closer

782
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 7: at the other end. And basically it played out exactly

783
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 7: that way last night.

784
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I will say Middleton I thought did a

785
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: good job on Duncan Robinson at times when he was

786
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: matched up early in that taking him out of his

787
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 3: rhythm and sticking to him. But then Taylor Hero in

788
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, hit some big shots again and this

789
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: is time and time again here he hit a big

790
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: three like earlier in the fourth quarter, and then with

791
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 3: a minute thirty five to go off of a huge

792
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: I think it was Bam with like the TapouT offensive

793
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: rebound the Tayson Chandler there it found its way to

794
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: Hero I think over in the corner and he splashed

795
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 3: that the kid is not afraid of the big moment.

796
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 3: And they a lot of shooter out there with the

797
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: guy Jimmy Cooking. And then Dragich had another great game.

798
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 3: Haven't even gotten to him. I heard Simmons and Risilo

799
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: on Sunday Nights podcast talking about I thought it was interesting.

800
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: Do the Celtics Yeah shocker. Simmons was talking about the Celtics.

801
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: Do the Celtics have the best big three left in

802
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: the bubble? Tatum, Jalen Brown and a Kemba. I was like, Okay, yeah,

803
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: you know, maybe there's something to that. I wonder though,

804
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: with the way Dragitch is playing right now, Fiba Dragitch

805
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: the Dragon. Is it actually the heat with Butler, Bam

806
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 3: and Dragisch who had twenty seven, Bam with twelve and

807
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: seventeen and had some beautiful assists. Six assists. He bullied

808
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: you honest at times, I don't know, like it maybe

809
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: is them when Dragis plays at this level, because he's

810
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 3: been phenomenal. This entire bubble runs. What's your take on

811
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: that test.

812
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: They've been very good. I don't know, I have to

813
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: Big three it up. They've been great. I think they've

814
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: found a little nice little yang and yang. Dragach is

815
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: more of the first quarter man. Well, you know, Jimmy

816
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: Butler definitely took some shots in the first quarter, but

817
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: they all know who's closing that thing out and so

818
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: they've got they've got a nice bounce. But I don't know,

819
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: have you done the Big three look up, look down

820
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: at each team?

821
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: I was going through them in my head and I

822
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: and again when I was listening to the podcast, I'm like, yeah,

823
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 3: maybe it is the Celtics. Mean, those are three twenty

824
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 3: point pre game scores. A couple of those guys bring

825
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: it defensively. Ken was not going to give it to

826
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: you on that and that much. But uh, I don't know.

827
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 3: Watching the heat, I was like, oh, hold on, hold on,

828
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 3: hold on, Butler playing like this band playing like this

829
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: obviously an all star and is impressive on both ends.

830
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: And then you and then drag at this level. Now

831
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 3: that's the thing. I mean, can Dragic keep doing this?

832
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: I he's this is the best Dragage has played since again,

833
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: Fiba Dragic, I'm convinced, like for this stretch, for this well, the.

834
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: Bucks need blood Cell back.

835
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 6: He's gonna have a huge against dragits right twenty seven

836
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 6: for Dragitch and he was just getting them too easily.

837
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 6: He was hitting a bunch of once he got in

838
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 6: the rhythm, he was hitting those weird floaters right, and

839
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 6: it's like he's going to take the shots that you

840
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 6: kind of don't expect him to take, you know, maybe

841
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 6: a twelve footer that's uh, everybody else would try and

842
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 6: get to the rim or totally pull it out for three.

843
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 6: He's just keeping them, the Bucks on their toes and

844
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 6: just throwing them off kilter a little bit. So uh,

845
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 6: you know, blood Cell can have his his problems in

846
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 6: the playoffs and he's not always there offensively, but he

847
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 6: can bring it defensively and he can make it a

848
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 6: lot harder on Goran Dragics. That would be that'd be

849
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 6: a nice adjustment for the Bucks to have one of

850
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 6: their all defensive players back as well.

851
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm trusting I'm trusting drags over. I'm trusting Middleton to

852
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: have a similar game or even brook Lopez, who was

853
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: who was on fire and he's he's pulling out this

854
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: and you know he's eight to ten. He he looked cool,

855
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: he had he had a good half, yead he slowed down,

856
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: and Chris Middleton's same thing. He slowed down too. I'm

857
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: taking Dragic over those dudes. I don't think that's even

858
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: a question right now. And and they just they just

859
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: don't got it on the Milwaukee side, they really don't.

860
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: But let's let's stick to my man, John Schuman's stats here.

861
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: Let's let's get back to that first half man, John Shuman. Yeah,

862
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: why not? You want to talk about Ryan Rossello and

863
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons instead, Is that what you want to talk about.

864
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about John.

865
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: Let's hear some weird stat Schuman's got for us? What's

866
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 3: he got?

867
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? The big three is oh no, he

868
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: didn't send that.

869
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: That was the big three? Is Schumann, Pelton and Haberstrow.

870
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah Haberstrow, sure.

871
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, John. John Schuman is too. John Schuman is too smart.

872
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: He sent effective field goal percentages over James Harden's career

873
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: game one through seven. It's pretty even. So I told

874
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: him to dumb it down a little bit. Let's just

875
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: go three point percentage and James Harden, it's only three games,

876
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: but his worst three point percentage is in game sevens

877
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight point six percent. He picks it up at

878
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: the free throw line and in two point land, and

879
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: that's why his effective field goal percentages is similar. He

880
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: was one of six in the fourth quarter of Game

881
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: six there from the floor, and uh yeah, it's going

882
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: to be a check fest. He's got to get into

883
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: two point land, all.

884
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, So back here to the Heat Bucks. The

885
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: one other thing from this was Joel Embiid tweeting his

886
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 3: love for the Jimmy Butler There, Trey, He's tweeting left

887
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: and right how much he's loving the Jimmy Butler Show.

888
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 6: And he should be Jimmy Butler. I mean, you know,

889
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 6: we're what the Heat to play five games in the

890
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 6: playoffs so far, so it's still very early in the playoffs,

891
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 6: but it's between him and Tatum for me, who's been

892
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 6: the best player in the Eastern Conference.

893
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 5: Playoffs so far.

894
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 6: And Jimmy just does it year in and year out,

895
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 6: and you saw the way that things went for the Sixers.

896
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 6: What they were missing was Jimmy Butler. So I kind

897
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 6: of feel like right now is the perfect time to

898
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 6: fire up a top five because this is gonna be

899
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 6: relating to Jimmy Butler.

900
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 5: So let's throw it out. Top Top five, top five,

901
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 5: Top five, Top five, Top five, top five.

902
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 6: Joel Embiid was loving Jimmy Butler last night, so that

903
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 6: brings us to today's top five. Here are the top

904
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 6: five teams wish they had Jimmy Butler right now.

905
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 5: At number five, Houston Rockets.

906
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 6: Feels weird, but I went back and looked at some

907
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 6: of the rumors from last year when Jimmy was gonna

908
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 6: be a free agent, and apparently the Rockets were very

909
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 6: confident that they would be able to sign Jimmy Butler

910
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 6: to pair with James Harden and Chris Paul. They were

911
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 6: going to do it with Chris Paul there as well.

912
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 6: Can you even imagine those three guys on the same team.

913
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 6: There'd be a lot of sniping at each other, and

914
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 6: it definitely feels like there wouldn't be enough basketballs for

915
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 6: the three of them. But uh, it's interesting to think

916
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 6: about what a crazy team that would be. Jimmy obviously

917
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 6: at Texas Native as well.

918
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the idea of a James with a

919
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: Jimmy too.

920
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, you would never get him mixed up because, as

921
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 6: we know, Jimmy Butler, his name is Jimmy.

922
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: Jim don't call me James, Don't call him James.

923
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 5: That's right.

924
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 6: At number four, the LA Clippers, it was originally gonna

925
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 6: be Jimmy Butler pairing with Kawhi Leonard out in LA

926
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 6: before the Clippers figured out a trade with the Oklahoma

927
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 6: City Thunder.

928
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 5: And as a guy who has always.

929
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 6: Been on the Jimmy Butler side of the Jimmy Butler

930
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 6: versus Paul George debate, this has been an incredible playoffs

931
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 6: For that take, I have a feeling that Kawhi and

932
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler would be a pretty tough team to be

933
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 6: out there in the West. Here's where it gets sad.

934
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 6: At number three, the Minnesota Timberwolves. You had him, you

935
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 6: traded him after he led your franchise to their only

936
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 6: playoff birth of the past sixteen years. Guys, all he

937
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 6: wanted to do was work hard and be the man.

938
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 5: You should have let him.

939
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 6: I mean, it was a disaster with the way things

940
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 6: ended in Minnesota, but maybe you should have made the

941
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 6: call to devote a little more resources to Jimmy Butler

942
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 6: rather than and Andrew Wiggins.

943
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 5: I know they were still enamored with Wiggins at that point.

944
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah.

945
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 6: You had Jimmy Butler and now you don't. Your team

946
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 6: has the number one draft pick this year, at number two,

947
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 6: the Philadelphia seventy six ers. You had him, you let

948
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 6: him go. You paid Tobias Harris instead. Guys, all he

949
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 6: wanted was to work hard and be the man.

950
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 5: We should have let him.

951
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 6: Philly wants, that's all he wants. And at number one,

952
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 6: of course doubles you drafted him number thirty. He won

953
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 6: Most Improved Player, proving hey, I can improve. Then he

954
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 6: became an All Star twice. He was just a boy,

955
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 6: not even twenty eight years old.

956
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 5: And you traded him. All he wanted was the work

957
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 5: hard and be the man. You should have let him.

958
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 6: This could be the bulls out there the heat where

959
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 6: black and red they play defense, and Jimmy Butler brings

960
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 6: him home.

961
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 5: That was the Bulls m O. When Jimmy Butler was

962
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 5: in town, but he was too mean.

963
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 6: Dwayne Wade came in from Miami. He said, hey man,

964
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 6: it doesn't have to be like this.

965
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 5: You can go somewhere else.

966
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 6: And then we had a long journey to Jimmy Butler

967
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 6: finally making his way to the Heat and it.

968
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 5: Has worked out exactly as they imagined could have been

969
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 5: New Chicago.

970
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 7: Wow, he wanted to be coached by Fred Hoibig. Didn't

971
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 7: he just say coached me?

972
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 5: Hotta coach me harder.

973
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 6: We should practice more, we should watch more film, we

974
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 6: should try harder. No, no, no, no, get out of here,

975
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 6: Get out of here. We're bringing in a punch clock.

976
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 7: Give us Chris Don instead.

977
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 3: That's a related tweet to that great top five I

978
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 3: saw Mina Chaim's tweet last night. Jimmy Butler is the

979
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: person on every reality show who says I'm not here

980
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: to make friends on the first episode. I love that,

981
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 3: which is if you watch like those crappy reality shows

982
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 3: the Bachelor, Bachelorette, it's exactly who Butler is in that

983
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: first episode. He's here not to make friends, He's here

984
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 3: to win and work hard. But then Unfortunately those people,

985
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 3: they go far trade but they never win those people.

986
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 3: So I don't know what that says for Jimmy Butler

987
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 3: in the Heat. Maybe they get to that.

988
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 6: I mean, that's true, and we'll see if they actually

989
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 6: win the championship. Not likely, but I mean the Heat

990
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 6: are trending the right way. And when Jimmy Butler leaves

991
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 6: your team, look what happens. Look what's happened to the

992
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 6: Minnesota Timberwolves. They haven't been back to the playoffs. Look

993
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 6: what happened to the seventy six ers. They fired their coach.

994
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 6: They're way worse. Look what happened to the Bulls. They're

995
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 6: on their third coach since Jimmy Butler lost left town

996
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 6: and they've just been picking number seven the entire time.

997
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 6: He might be a jerk, you might not like having

998
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 6: him around all the time, but the entire message of

999
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler is if we work hard, our team is

1000
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 6: gonna win. And that's the entire message of the Miami Heat.

1001
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 6: And that's why it's worked out there. Teams other organizations

1002
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 6: need to say, hey, if we work hard, we can win.

1003
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 6: It's not it's not a hard thing to figure out.

1004
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 6: You got to deal with the personalities, you know.

1005
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: And so we got Joel Embida, as he said the

1006
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: sub tweet of his own team, basically saying, Hey, that

1007
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: guy's really good. Who's playing in the playoffs? He used

1008
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: to play on our team. That's messed up. That's there's like,

1009
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: you can't feel good in that organization right now? Whatsoever

1010
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: with what's going on. You're your best player called Benson,

1011
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: is your best player whatever? One of your franchise guys

1012
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: talking smack about your team on the tweets and not

1013
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: so good, you know, putting their business out on the streets.

1014
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: Not so good. I'll say this about Andrew Wiggins. You

1015
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: talked about obviously him leaving the Timberwolves. Have you seen

1016
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins New Shot Form. He's the new splash Brother.

1017
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: He's just splashing threes. I'm not buying it, but he

1018
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: was splashing threes in a video New Shot Form at

1019
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: Elbow Way. Oh that's looking different. Yeah, take take a

1020
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: look see and watch Andrew Wiggins with his shirt off

1021
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: hitting threes.

1022
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: Hold on, it sounds like you're interested in buying some

1023
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: property or maybe a subway salwich shop on Wiggs Island.

1024
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 3: You want to your own franchise.

1025
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm subletting my place. I made that stupid mistake of

1026
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: buying it once upon a time, never again.

1027
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. All right, we gotta take a break.

1028
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: Still lots more to come here on today's show. But first, guys,

1029
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: as we all know, the Jazz and the Nuggets are

1030
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 3: going to Game seven baby tonight. Nothing easy. So it's

1031
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 3: still very, very impossible that we may see an NBA

1032
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 3: playoff matchup between the Clippers and the Nuggets. That's why

1033
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: our homies at manscape dot com have partnered with us

1034

1035
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 3: if that matchup does indeed go down later this week. Now,

1036
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, guys, I've never called my

1037
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 3: balls my nuggets. I don't mind it. And I was

1038
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: actually trying to think of another NBA nickname team name

1039
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 3: that works for the old Testies, right, My King's Regal,

1040
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 3: my two pistons, powerful, my Knicks, no, thank you.

1054
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: we are into the Updown Report. It has been so long.

1055
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 3: First one, guys, Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram was named the

1056
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 3: NBA's Most Improved Player on Monday. The plastic Man two

1057
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 3: point zero really trying to force that received forty two

1058
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: first place votes from the global panel of one hundred

1059
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: sports raiders and broadcasters here in three hundred and twenty

1060
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: six total points. He just edged out Bam out of Bayo,

1061
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 3: who finished in second with two hundred and ninety five points.

1062
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 3: He got thirty eight first place votes. Very very close. Here,

1063
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 3: guys are upper down on Brandon Ingram winning Most Improved Lee,

1064
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 3: throw your thumbs up or down.

1065
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 7: I'm up on it. Yeah, it was down to him

1066
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 7: or Bam to win it, and Ingram did have a

1067
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 7: very good season, so a good award for him to win.

1068
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 7: And I think the voting reflected just how close it was.

1069
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 7: You know, you could have made a strong case for

1070
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 7: both of those guys that were both All Stars. In fact,

1071
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 7: for the top four guys made the All Star Game,

1072
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 7: and Pascal who finished seventh, I think it was he

1073
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 7: also made the All Star Game. So and Trey Young

1074
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 7: he also got some votes. So there was a lot

1075
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 7: of All Stars in this voting, sure most in pro.

1076
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 7: I don't know how you feel about that, Skeet, but

1077
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 7: I'm glad, you know, I'm glad Ingram does get a

1078
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 7: little bit of a recognition here because you know, he

1079
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 7: came into the league, he was a number two pick,

1080
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 7: and he had high expectations. Things didn't really work out

1081
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 7: all that well for him. In Los Angeles, gets to

1082
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 7: a new city, a new team, he's a little bit

1083
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 7: more mature, and the offense basically was like you're our

1084
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 7: guy on offense, and he responded well. So I'm happy

1085
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 7: for him to get that. Now, it's what can he

1086
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 7: add to his game, you know, can he get better?

1087
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 7: Can he become a bit more of a playmaker, better defensively?

1088
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 7: That's what's really I'm going to be looking forward now

1089
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 7: to see in these next couple of years.

1090
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 3: It's important to note that the bubble games didn't count

1091
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 3: in this vote either, right, you know, all those of

1092
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: seating games and stuff like that, they were not taken

1093
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 3: into consideration. It was prior to the March eleventh or twelfth,

1094
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 3: whatever it was shut down, And I think that actually

1095
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: helped Ingram's case, because he wasn't that great really sort

1096
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: of the worst part there in the bubble setting. But

1097
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 3: when do you think trade sums up or thumbs down

1098
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: on BA I bought it for a brandon Ingram to

1099
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: pick up most improved, So I'm up on this. But

1100
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 3: I do wonder if if you were including the seeding games,

1101
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 3: would Bam have been the guy? I think so.

1102
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 5: I kind of think so too.

1103
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 6: You know, he's picked up a lot of steam as

1104
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 6: a guy who could have been a defensive Player of

1105
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 6: the Year candidate. I mean, I guess it depends. There's

1106
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 6: a lot of good centers defensively, but he could make

1107
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 6: an All defensive team, and he's been instrumental to the heat,

1108
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 6: looking like a finals contender so far.

1109
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 5: Down there in the bubble.

1110
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, Ingram was scoring some points, but the Pelicans didn't

1111
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 6: do so well, and there were times where you felt

1112
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 6: a little bit like Bi had some tunnel vision just

1113
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 6: trying to get some shots up rather than moving the

1114
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 6: ball around. There's obviously questions now about how him and Zion.

1115
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 5: Are going to fit together.

1116
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 6: Kind of ludicrous considering they are both still so early

1117
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 6: in their careers. Can figure some things out. But I

1118
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 6: think if you add in those couple of weeks down

1119
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 6: in Orlando, BAM's probably the guy.

1120
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: What do you think, Tess, Yeah, I'm going thumbs up.

1121
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: I also took Brandon Ingram, but yeah, it came down

1122
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: to these two guys, and it's I guess I was

1123
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit more impressed with where Brandon Ingram

1124
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: came from as far as being in LA The reputation

1125
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: was down low for him, and yeah, he was traded

1126
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: for Anthony Davis there and just jumped up obviously in

1127
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: people's minds. While Bam Adebayo, he was a backup and

1128
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: then finally got his starting job. And I think basketball

1129
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: nerds knew he was going to be good, obviously, no

1130
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: one knew was going to be this good and this early.

1131
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is great. It's just picking between your

1132
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: two kids. I mean, they're both, they're both they both

1133
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: were great this season. So I think I think the

1134
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: voters got it right in terms of the guys at

1135
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 1: the top.

1136
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 3: Right, it was very close. Like I said, but you

1137
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 3: think it sounds like and I agree with you, like

1138
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 3: Ingram benefited from a bit more of a narrative here, right,

1139
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 3: which comes into play with MIP. Like the narrative being

1140
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 3: he was on the Lakers, he's on, you know, one

1141
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 3: of the marquee teams. He's not living up maybe to

1142
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 3: expectations being a high draft pick, and then his packaging

1143
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 3: in the ed deal and people are like, ah, is

1144
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 3: he even like gonna be a guy anymore.

1145
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 7: In this league?

1146
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 3: Or is he gonna be a role player? And then

1147
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 3: is like suddenly a twenty four point per game score.

1148
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 3: I think he's helped out by that where it's a

1149
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 3: little more it's a little more of a sexy narrative

1150
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 3: than the BAM just like getting more minutes, getting more

1151
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: opportunity and turning into an incredible player. I mean, you're

1152
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 3: right to ask, like, suddenly, this guy is like their

1153
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,959
Speaker 3: full crowm of their offense. At times we talked about

1154
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 3: how he's all season long about maybe he's their most

1155
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: important player, as great as Jimmy Butler. Maybe he's the

1156
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 3: most important player. But yeah, I'm not upset with b

1157
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 3: I winning this. I looked it up. By the way,

1158
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 3: six games for Ingram down in the bubble under twenty

1159
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 3: points per game, shot forty two percent from the floor,

1160
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 3: five boards, three assists, so the numbers were a lot

1161
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 3: worse than what he had in the regular season prior

1162
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 3: to the to the shutdown. Anything to add there, LYE,

1163
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 3: I thought you were about to say sometimes now.

1164
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 7: I'm actually there's a couple of tweets being comments being

1165
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,439
Speaker 7: fired here. John Schuman says Trey's dog would have voted

1166
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 7: for Yams at a bio and then Sarah Gray Sarah

1167
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 7: Gray is going lol, John Shuman, poor ficked wordy. So

1168
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 7: the fans are just firing the pun gun here.

1169
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 6: It's crazy, and the dog days of the season, that's crazy.

1170
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 3: I can't wait to do a second Top five later

1171
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: in the show. Top five Shumann comments from this episode,

1172
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 3: all right, second one. The Charlotte Hornets unveiled some new

1173
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 3: jerseys on Monday. I don't know if we have some

1174
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 3: photos here, Yeah, we do, Jady good stuff for everybody

1175
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 3: was joining us on YouTube. The new look features double

1176
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 3: pinstripes what do they mean on the jerseys, similar to

1177
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 3: what the franchise used from ninety seven to two thousand

1178
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: and two. This time around, the pin stripes are just

1179
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 3: one color. Okay, so teal on the white Charlotte Association

1180
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 3: jerseys and white on the Teal Hornets icon jerseys. And

1181
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 3: you're seeing them here. Got purple used as the trim.

1182
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 3: So up or down on these Hornets new ish jerseys.

1183
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 3: I mean they're sort of old new. But what do

1184
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 3: you think, Trey.

1185
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna be in the minority on this,

1186
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 6: but I gotta go sideways. These are good because everybody

1187
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 6: loves the teal Hornets jerseys. You know, it's basically the

1188
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 6: easiest thing to possibly do. Bring back the pinstriped Hornets

1189
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 6: jerseys and you're gonna get a thumbs up. But I

1190
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 6: think they botched it a little bit. Not enough purple.

1191
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 6: This to me, is the worst version of the pinstripe jerseys.

1192
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 6: That we've seen so far. I would have liked to

1193
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 6: see more color. It just doesn't feel right to me

1194
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 6: with a little bit more modern font You know, the

1195
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 6: old Hornets jerseys had those Sarah fonts and it looked

1196
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 6: like something that you would find on a typewriter.

1197
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 5: These are very stingery.

1198
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 6: I guess you would say, you know, you got like

1199
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 6: a little thing sticking off you the thing. It just

1200
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 6: looks a little bit too modern compared to the throwback jerseys.

1201
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 6: I don't think they found the sweet spot. That's the

1202
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 6: key right now is finding your retro look that works

1203
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty. And this, for me, it's like a

1204
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 6: six and a half out of ten.

1205
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 3: Ooh, okay, tass, what do you think?

1206
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: I think you just got to go back to your originals.

1207
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: I think every team right now is looking for a

1208
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: classic jersey that they don't have to change year in,

1209
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: year out. And I think, just like the Atlanta Hawks

1210
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: just did, they went back to some old school looks.

1211
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 1: The home and away for the Hornets should be their

1212
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: old ones. They don't need to double pin stripe it

1213
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: to change it up. This is their most popular era

1214
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: for a reason. The home and away should be absolutely

1215
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: the same. I don't see why you would even change it.

1216
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: Go right back to it, and I think you will

1217
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: achieve what like the Bulls have had to do and

1218
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 1: not had to change their jerseys year in and YEurope.

1219
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: That's what every team should be striving for. And I

1220
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: think they would have got it if they went back

1221
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,919
Speaker 1: to the the lj Alonzo Morning, Muggsy Bogues, Rex Chapmandre's

1222
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: just go back to those What are you waiting for?

1223
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: I just don't think why do they need to change?

1224
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: It's something that they're going to change again the next year.

1225
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 5: I think it was.

1226
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: It was close, but it was it was overtweaked. Imo.

1227
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think? Lee?

1228
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm up. They're fine. They're fine. They're not too offensive.

1229
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 7: I get what the other guys are saying. They're like,

1230
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 7: they don't seem perfect, but they don't seem terrible either,

1231
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 7: Charlotte just they don't. They've got a really nice brand,

1232
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 7: nice name, they're nice colors, they don't need to do

1233
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 7: too much. I just want to know why do they

1234
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 7: release it now? Why do it now when the playoffs

1235
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 7: are on? We've got some big storylines, like don't you

1236
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 7: want to get a little bit more juice closer to

1237
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 7: the season.

1238
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 3: Perhaps, I don't know. It just seems weird to me.

1239
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, sell those jerseys, man.

1240
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: I guess, like what thes.

1241
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 7: But I know, I know, but it's like we got

1242
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 7: four months until the next season, like, hey, we get

1243
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,240
Speaker 7: in some new jersey.

1244
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 5: Like hey man, we're talking about the Hornets right now.

1245
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: It's it's like.

1246
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 7: Deep into the show, you know, and it's not a great.

1247
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 3: For second.

1248
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, like I want to either hate something or just

1249
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 7: be passionately in love with it. At the moment, I'm

1250
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 7: just kind of like, yeah, cool, okay man that you know,

1251
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 7: I'm not like, oh my god, that's the greatest jersey

1252
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 7: I've ever seen.

1253
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: What if what if they made their original jerseys their

1254
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: home and away jerseys? Yeah, I mean, bring, we'd lead

1255
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: the show with that a lot closer. Those are the best,

1256
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: their best colors, their best the best time in their lives. Man,

1257
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: go back to your teenage years, your college days. That

1258
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:42,959
Speaker 1: was their best.

1259
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 3: Look.

1260
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1261
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: Wow.

1262
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 7: If they get Kelly Trapuka to come back as well

1263
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 7: for the unveiling, then fine, you beat the big start

1264
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 7: of jacket and everything and the big crazy hair. I

1265
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 7: mean that's that's fine, do all that, but jerseys, the.

1266
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 3: Ones you're talking about tasks like they were designed by

1267
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 3: like a famous designer. I don't know, Trey, if you can.

1268
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 5: Help Alexander Julian, Is that correct?

1269
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1270
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 6: He said, whatever we do, we can have pin stripes

1271
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 6: on top, but not on bottom.

1272
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 5: We got to keep those plane shorts.

1273
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 6: I always think that's such a weird thing to have

1274
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 6: just stripes up top, but the bottoms are playing. Apparently

1275
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 6: that's what the Hornets are doing as well with this,

1276
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 6: So whodos is sticking to the plane.

1277
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: This is the first full redesign for the Hornets since

1278
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 3: the team rebranded from the Bobcats way back in twenty fourteen.

1279
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 3: Because there's another jersey still to come, and then Charlotte

1280
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 3: is keeping their Statement edition jersey from last year. If

1281
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 3: you remember, it's the purple one tree. You like the

1282
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 3: purple with the big c cha across the front of it,

1283
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 3: je chaw So that one will be staying, and I

1284
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 3: think we have a city one coming. I can never

1285
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 3: association icon, statement and city. I think are your four jerseys,

1286
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 3: and I think they're all gonna have the Jordan brand

1287
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 3: this time. The little Jordan logo on it, little jumpman logo.

1288
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 3: I guess I say, all right, next thing here, the

1289
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 3: NBA is Warren teams that owners and senior basketball executives,

1290
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 3: along with the players' families must adhere to proper decorum

1291
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 3: at playoff games on the campus. The memo stated no

1292
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 3: profane or objectional language or coming onto the court during games.

1293
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 3: The rules also disallow conversations with game officials, and everything

1294
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 3: will be interpreted broadly and strictly per the memo saw

1295
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 3: this by way of woes. So up or down on

1296
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 3: this NBA warning here task for all of these owners

1297
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 3: and executives and families. What do you think?

1298
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to be a rules Robert here,

1299
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: but I think you have to lay down the rules

1300
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: in this unprecedented situation. It's just so strange. You saw

1301
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: Jannis's girlfriend and son their court side. They're so close

1302
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: to the action. It is like, yeah, little Liam can

1303
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: take a little jog onto the floor if he really want.

1304
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: And it's so strange. Would it be really odd to

1305
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: for us to just think it's normal. I mean, because

1306
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: there is no barrier, there is nothing there. I just

1307
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: think you kind of have to set the rules here.

1308
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: To make sure Maria and Liam don't go give Yannis

1309
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: a hug post game. I think you just you just

1310
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: gotta lay down the law. And it sort of makes

1311
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: sense because of how weird things are, like hands and

1312
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: family with folding chairs feet away from the floor, and

1313
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: it was interesting to see this morning. I read the

1314
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: athletics Joe Varden transcribe what security guards were saying to

1315
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: each other pre game because this was the first time,

1316
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: the first day where the families were there and they

1317
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: were saying to each other, all right, we got to

1318
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: go up and talk to these families and lay down

1319
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: the law with them, and he was eavesdropping. Joe Varden

1320
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: was no doubt he shouldn't have been in on that conversation,

1321
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: but that's what reporters do. So well done there, Joe Varden,

1322
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: and I think it had to come down from the

1323
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: NBA as well, because you don't want anything stupid to happen,

1324
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: and it makes sense.

1325
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 3: What do you think, Trey, Yeah, I mean, yes, we

1326
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: can hear people talking, so you gotta do it.

1327
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 5: To me, this is more saving the families from themselves.

1328
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 6: You don't want to have the situation that the raptors

1329
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 6: had once upon a time where Chris Bosh's girlfriend was

1330
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 6: trash talking Lebron out on the court, so Lebron just

1331
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 6: put the team on his.

1332
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 5: Back and destroyed.

1333
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 6: You don't want to be the reason that your loved

1334
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 6: one loses a playoff game.

1335
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 5: So they're just saying, hey, hey, just be cool out there.

1336
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 5: Just be cool, don't be uncool.

1337
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really was. That's what this memo is. Everybody

1338
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 3: just be cool. Okay, this is weird, we get it,

1339
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 3: but just don't go crazy on the officials and don't

1340
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: go crazy, you know, heckling the other team. This isn't

1341
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 3: a normal basketball game, so just be chill and be cool.

1342
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 3: Like you said there, Trey, what do you think, Lee.

1343
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, tensions are running a little bit high to in

1344
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 7: some of those games. Who those nutshots you don't want

1345
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 7: anyone's better halves or other halves sort of jumping the

1346
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 7: barrier and trying to get into it with somebody else.

1347
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 7: So yeah, and well, you know, we saw the Paul

1348
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 7: George and Damien Lilid stuff where that got a little

1349
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 7: bit ugly on social media with some family members. So

1350
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 7: you just want everyone to understand, like, if you're down there,

1351
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 7: just watch the game. But also stay out of it

1352
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 7: as well. Just let let the game be played and

1353
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 7: then go back to your hotel rooms and go for

1354
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 7: a walk around whatever you have to do, but don't

1355
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 7: bring any unnecessary attention to the league.

1356
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: Lee right right, Yes, that's a good way to put

1357
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 3: it too. Okay, final one here. According to the New

1358
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 3: York Post, Vince Carter has agreed to join ESPN as

1359
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 3: an NBA analysis analyst. I mean, I didn't know this,

1360
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 3: but Eric Canada has gone through the Players Association's sportscaster

1361
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 3: you camp doing TV and radio, which has included previous

1362
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 3: work for ESPN and Turner. So up or down on

1363
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 3: Vince joining ESPN, Let's ask jd jd Are you there?

1364
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm Harry or what do you think? Upperdown on Vince

1365
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 3: go on to ESPN?

1366
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: What down?

1367
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:38,479
Speaker 5: Way down? Why?

1368
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure we asked him to come on our

1369
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 2: show to join the starters back two years ago. I've

1370
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 2: basically been sitting in this box keeping it warm for him.

1371
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: Vince Carter is in the DNA of this show. Our

1372
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: first pick and payoff was Vince Carter related. When we

1373
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 2: sent tasks down to the ACC wearing a Vince Carter jersey,

1374
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: he almost got killed that name. I'm frankly, I'm upset.

1375
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 2: You're offended, He's I'm offended. I'm upset. Yeah, thumbs down,

1376
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 2: thumbs down from me.

1377
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think there?

1378
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1379
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 7: Same, Vince. Come on, man, come on, Vince. We would

1380
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 7: have found room for you on the No Dunks team.

1381
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 5: You know we have.

1382
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 7: We've I've spoken to him at the finals. We've had

1383
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 7: the dunk contest treat. He was marking Trey's dunk there

1384
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 7: the reverse he gave it. I think he only gave

1385
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 7: it a nine because he said he's seen it before.

1386
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 7: I mean, Vince is a great guy. He's going on

1387
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 7: ESPN is a little bit of a stuffy look. He's

1388
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 7: gonna have the shirt and tie and all that. Who

1389
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 7: Vince to be loose and casual man. So I'm not

1390
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 7: going to withdraw the invitation for him to come on,

1391
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 7: No dose. It's going to remain out there, no open invitation.

1392
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 7: If you change your mind, Vince, you're always I think

1393
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 7: he lives in Atlanta too, so you know we can accommodate.

1394
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 3: Him, right right, And I mean, it would have been

1395
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 3: pretty ironic for Vince Carter, of all people, to be

1396
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 3: on the podcast, a show called No Dunks. I mean

1397
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 3: that is that's memorable. You like, what why why is

1398
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 3: he on oh Dunks? He's a dunker? But what do

1399
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 3: you think?

1400
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 5: Tass Oh?

1401
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I just want to ask Lee. You said the invitation

1402
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: is still open. Have you sent him an email? Have

1403
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: you asked him? Hey? What's up? Man? You want to

1404
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: come on popping pop Pack?

1405
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: No?

1406
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 7: I haven't been able to find a contact for him.

1407
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: But if you do, if just go to his house

1408
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: he lives in Atlanta.

1409
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, if I do, he'll definitely get the invitation. A

1410
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 7: question about it.

1411
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 3: But little see, now, now you're screwed. Now her works

1412
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 3: for ESPN. You're not going to get him through those

1413
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 3: back channels.

1414
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's true, it's true. But I've got a few

1415
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,479
Speaker 7: other little methods that I use and now again I work.

1416
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 3: All right, what do you think Trake Carter did minor

1417
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 3: in communications? I also learned from that New York Post article. Yeah.

1418
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 6: Interesting, I guess he's been out of college for twenty

1419
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 6: years though, so does he still have the skills?

1420
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 5: It's hard to say. I mean I was up on this.

1421
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 6: Vince is going to be good on the desker on

1422
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 6: a broadcast whatever they end up doing with him.

1423
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 5: But now I'm down, like you guys are saying he

1424
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 5: should be on no ducks. That's just how it is. Sorry,

1425
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you could work for you piano, or you

1426
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 5: could work for us one.

1427
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 3: Of the Yeah, yeah, I mean, and we would pay

1428
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 3: you nothing, and yeah, still have a little of fun.

1429
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, sure, all.

1430
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Right, we did this show for three years and it

1431
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 2: didn't get paid. We'd pay him eventually.

1432
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, eventually you have to earn his key for sure,

1433
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 3: to prove he can brea. We didn't pay leave for

1434
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 3: like six years. We just started paying them exactly, all right.

1435
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 3: We pay him in basketball packs cards.

1436
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,479
Speaker 6: Well, the good thing is that we can't get Vince

1437
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 6: Carter apparently, but we can still get Alvin Williams or

1438
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 6: maybe John Wallace, depending on whose sounds of the contractor.

1439
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 3: All right, best of luck to Vince. Of course we'll

1440
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 3: be watching him. I'm sure he'll be fantastic whether he's

1441
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 3: on the desk or he's on the call, because I

1442
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 3: don't think that's a he probably will do both. All Right,

1443
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 3: we're gonna get you all set for today's games. But

1444
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 3: first a quick break.

1445
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 6: We got a bunch of short names here on No Dunks,

1446
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 6: Trey Kirby, Task, Malice, j Skeets, Lee Ellis, Jason Doyle.

1447
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 6: We're talking ten characters. Max not an onset to Koompo

1448
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 6: or McConaughey and the Bunch, But people still look like

1449
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 6: absolute idiots when.

1450
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 5: They misspell our names.

1451
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 6: There's no a in Trey Task is not a spinning

1452
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 6: cartoon character, and Lee Elis with two e's is either

1453
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,800

01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 3: song for us? Okay, Lee, Time for tweet of the.

1481
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Night tweet O the Night Wow Twitter.

1482
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 7: Okay, So this one comes in from a fan and

1483
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 7: I think I think this one was stage because it

1484
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 7: comes in from Hobo Reload. Hobo Reload. Jake is his name,

1485
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 7: And look, the NBA has had a pretty good run

1486
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 7: of virtual fans. No one's been doing anything they shouldn't

1487
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 7: have been doing until last night. And I think the

1488
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 7: reason why this is actually Hobo reload is because I

1489
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 7: think no one else could have possibly been paying attention

1490
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 7: unless they knew this was going to happen. If you

1491
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 7: go to sort of the mid top of this photo,

1492
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 7: you'll notice that somebody has has got the's got the

1493
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 7: moon Now enhance in hand Hans and again on camera, Like,

1494
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 7: it's very hard to pay attention to the virtual fans

1495
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 7: when you're watching your game. So I think what he's

1496
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 7: done is he said to someone all right, or he's

1497
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 7: done it himself. He'said, all right, I'm just gonna do it,

1498
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 7: and then I'm going to make sure I know what

1499
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 7: time it is on the screen, and then I'm going

1500
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 7: to capture it for everybody. And he's done it.

1501
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 3: So now you're you're conn that some man's buttocks, see

1502
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 3: because I think it's a womanly And the reason I

1503
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 3: see that is I we got this tweet sent into

1504
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 3: us and somebody tagged us in the tweet, and then

1505
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 3: I was watching, like obviously the rest of the game,

1506
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 3: and I thought in that seat there was a woman, right,

1507
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe Hobo Jake here and this woman are

1508
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 3: in cahoots, in boots in Caboose. I don't know something there. Yeah.

1509
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 7: So anyway, they've had a good run in the NBA,

1510
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 7: and I think, uh, you know, it was gonna this

1511
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 7: was gonna happen eventually, and this is gonna happen eventually.

1512
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a man or a woman. I

1513
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: think that's Chester Cheetah. That looks like the Cheetos mascot

1514
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: right there.

1515
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not seeing that, but yeah, maybe so maybe

1516
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 3: this is marketing. You're saying, oh, interesting, interesting, all right,

1517
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 3: so well this is nice. I mean, we went from

1518
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 3: the George Hill dump to the Luca drinking piss. It's

1519
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 3: now the butt shot here.

1520
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's it. I think we've done now. We don't

1521
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 7: need anymore.

1522
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 3: But tomorrow's tweeted the night be clean.

1523
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 7: I hope, So, I hope.

1524
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 3: So maybe that was a dude wipe's marketing ploy there.

1525
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 5: That's a great idea.

1526
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's I wouldn't put that above them to demonstrate

1527
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 6: a dude wipe. The only the only thing that could

1528
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 6: happen now is maybe somebody gets a little manscaping going

1529
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 6: on there and the and the virtual fans saw virtual fanny.

1530
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 5: So what's next.

1531
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to assume you had to like

1532
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 3: sign a waiver for these virtual fans, right, you can't

1533
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 3: do stuff like this, so I don't. Yeah, maybe the

1534
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 3: maybe the person I ended up seeing later was like

1535
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:34,919
Speaker 3: someone else completely.

1536
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had to sub real quick, you would do it.

1537
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,719
Speaker 7: But I mean said, there must be someone literally watching

1538
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 7: almost every fan that to make sure that this.

1539
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 3: Stuff, I would assume.

1540
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 7: So, yeah, and they cut their feet. I would guess

1541
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 7: if they see some sort of you know, but maybe

1542
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 7: someone wasn't watching, wasn't paying attention some of them. Now

1543
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 7: is the time to slip the butt shutting.

1544
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that couple that was having sex up

1545
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 1: in there the old SkyDome Hotel a lot of time.

1546
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:02,919
Speaker 1: It got to buy the cameras.

1547
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. All right, Well we'll get to

1548
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 3: the bottom of this story a little bit. Okay, let's

1549
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 3: set up quickly. Today's games tasks. We only got a

1550
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 3: game seven, baby? What else we got?

1551
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, exciting stuff Denver and Utah eight thirty Eastern on

1552
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: ABC Network Television. Everybody can watch a game seven. Should

1553
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: be fun again. As we said yesterday, probably expect that

1554
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray's and the Donovan Mitchell's numbers to drop off

1555
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: a little bit in a game seven, it usually gets

1556
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: a little ugly. That's what tends to happen in game sevens.

1557
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Those numbers probably won't be there, especially considering the Jazz

1558
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 1: have got to change their defense a little bit on

1559
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray. But hey, we're expecting a great, great game,

1560
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: I assume. And then the first game of the day,

1561
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: five thirty Eastern, nice and early for everybody here on

1562
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: the East Coast, super early for the West coasters, Boston

1563
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: and Toronto, Game two of that series. I don't say

1564
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: that one first. I said it second because wow, it's

1565
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: not looking good for the Toronto Raptors. But hey, they

1566
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: might fight back. They might fight back and have a

1567
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:07,919
Speaker 1: good game. So looking forward to both those.

1568
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 3: Very very excited for both of those games. What's what's

1569
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 3: the highest point total in the for a one player

1570
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 3: in the Nuggets Jazz game tonight. You know, we talked

1571
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 3: about Murray obviously going for fifties, Donovan's gone for fifties.

1572
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 3: What is it in a game seven? Let's get some prediction.

1573
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 3: That was our final prediction before we go here. What

1574
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 3: do you got lee. What's the highest and name the

1575
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 3: player if you.

1576
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 7: Want, Jamal Murray forty one, forty five? Yeah, I just

1577
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 7: feel he's gonna get it easy. I mean, yeah, let's

1578
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 7: do it, Jamal.

1579
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: That would be four forty point games in a row.

1580
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a series record.

1581
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 7: Maybe Lebron Lebron against the against the Warriors that I

1582
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 7: think in the finals had let any side up with

1583
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 7: the fifty And.

1584
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 3: Did he do four in a row though now over forty?

1585
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 3: I don't think so, but yeah, but maybe maybe he did.

1586
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1587
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure Jordan has done it. I'm sure Wilt has

1588
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 3: done it or something. Okay, so forty one Jamal Murray, Tray,

1589
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 3: what do you got?

1590
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 5: H thirty eight from bulb love it a nice pick?

1591
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 3: I swerve there. What do you got tasks?

1592
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: Well, I just mentioned the SkyDome, Old Toronto Blue Jays.

1593
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I'll give a number twenty nine, just like Joe Carter

1594
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: had on his back when he knocked that one out

1595
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: of the park in nineteen ninety three. I think a

1596
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: twenty niner is high enough. We gotta remember, twenty nine

1597
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: is not a bad number, not a bad number for

1598
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,719
Speaker 1: a guy to having a game seven. Okay, yeah, Jamal

1599
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: or Donovan, I don't know. I don't know this is

1600
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't know who to pick in this one.

1601
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 3: Twenty nine feels too low to me, man, I don't know.

1602
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 3: Somebody's scored over thirty, so give me thirty five. Thirty

1603
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 3: five will be the high and it will be I'll

1604
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 3: go Murray. Why wouldn't you. I'm not picking against him

1605
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 3: right now, but both of those guys could easily go

1606
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 3: for that, as we've seen time and time again. Should

1607
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 3: be fun. Hopefully it's a close game seven, and we

1608
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 3: got a lot to talk about on tomorrow's show. Enjoy

1609
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 3: those games. Hopefully the Raptors can also put up a

1610
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 3: little bit better of a fight and we can talk

1611
