00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome in What's Right with Nick Grit Episode

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: two thirty nine. Here's what missed the cut for today's show.

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: The All NBA teams have been announced. Lebron making third

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: team and Kawhi making second team is flatly indefensible. There's

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: no argument for it. I'm not even but I am.

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: You know, I don't put in the newspaper. I'm bothered.

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm not bothered. Uh here's the thing, demons, how many

16
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: all NBA voters do you think there are?

17
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: I call it a hundred.

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: So that's a smart guess. That would make sense. Nice

19
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 2: round even number. If I told you there were ninety nine,

20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: would that seem odd? Would that seem intentional? Would it

21
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: almost seem like the league is taunting me, like, hey, guys,

22
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: we could have one hundred and nice even one hundred voters.

23
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: A round number makes sense, makes counting, Like, hey, how

24
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: do you know if someone was unanimous they got five

25
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: hundred points? Because you get five points for first place,

26
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: like all of it or for a first place vote,

27
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: it would all be simpler. Instead, they're sitting at ninety

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: nine voters, which to me, it's a bleep you to somebody?

29
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: And am I self important enough when it comes to

30
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: this to think that I should potentially be in the

31
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: top one hundred NBA taste makers? Sure, but no, that's fine.

32
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: So though, so as long as that.

33
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: All NBA tea yeah, all NBA votes.

34
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: What'd you say?

35
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Would you whould you think I fleeced on the on

36
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: the votes as well?

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: Listen, I the this is a longer discussion that I

38
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 2: don't have time.

39
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: To do today. I ask a little question, when do

40
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: they vote? When do the votes take place at.

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: The end of the regular season? It is these are

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: all regular season awards, so they all voting takes place

43
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: in the in the three days between the final game

44
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: of the regular season and the start of the play

45
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: so like, so it's it's supposed to be exclusively about

46
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: uh the regular season or a right. What the other

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: things that missed the cut is Lamar lost some weight

48
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: and the NBA is getting a new TV rights deal.

49
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: All right, Now to the actual show. Great T shirt

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: by the way, Demonse, I don't have one of those,

51
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: but that's pretty that's pretty dope. I like how that looks.

52
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: Man.

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: At some point, let maybe start a mert shop. But

54
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: we haven't done it yet, all right, Demanse, Let's talk

55
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: Game one MAVs Wolves.

56
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Mavericks obviously stole Game one from the Timberwolves.

57
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: The MAVs have lost both of their Game ones previously,

58
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: so nobody was really picking him, but except for you

59
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: and Mahomes confidently said on the show that he thought

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: that MAVs were going to lose. So how important was

61
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: it that the Mavericks stole that Game one?

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: Oh? I listen, there has not been a single day

63
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: the yeah you're in front, you're at Lucas Hookahs. There's

64
00:03:53,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: not been a single day in the Mavericks franchise since

65
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: the finals, the twenty eleven finals, where you woke up

66
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: a MAVs fan and you were more likely to win

67
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: the title than now. But the MAVs stealing that game

68
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: when they hit six threes and Minnesota hit eighteen is

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: not supposed to happen. Fifth time in NBA playoff history

70
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: that a team has hit twelve or more threes than

71
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: their opponent and lost the game. And Luca starting this

72
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: series without seemingly engaging in a blood feud with the

73
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: officials is a super positive sign. Kyrie recognized like Kyrie

74
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: I think recognizes because he hasn't played playoff runs in

75
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: so long. His body's broken down a bit. He doesn't

76
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: necessarily have four quarters of flame thrower in him anymore.

77
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: So he's been modulating, and in the previous round he

78
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: was kind of, you know, playing more of a floor

79
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: game distributing. In the first half. This game, he emptied

80
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: the clip. I'm sorry he was in the previous round

81
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: was doing more in the second half this game. He

82
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: emptied the clip in the first half, and then Luca

83
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: carried him home. And Luca carried him home on both

84
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: ends of the court. The pass breakup he made on

85
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: the lob was the biggest play of the game. His

86
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: d on the perimeter was B plus, and his offense

87
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: is always unbelievable. He made one of the best passes

88
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: of the NBA season, a full court on a rope

89
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: bounce pass and then it ended up being a block dunk,

90
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: so he didn't even get an assist for it and

91
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: up being a five point swing. And the MAVs now

92
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: are significant favorites. There's only been one series ever that

93
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: Luca's played in where they won game one. They did

94
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: end up losing that series. That was a series against

95
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: the Clippers when they won games one and two in

96
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. I think Chris STAPs then got hurt, but regardless,

97
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: they did end up losing that series in seven games.

98
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: The right now, the MAVs look like a team that

99
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: can win the championship. And man, if it's Luca versus

100
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: your Celtics Demanse, that's gonna that's gonna be great for

101
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: this show.

102
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: And ahead it seems like you want to say, I mean,

103
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: that'll that'll be very interesting. I'll be honest, I was

104
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: I feel like I was saying that was the team

105
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: that that the Celtics would not be worried about if

106
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: we saw in the finals. Yes, but I don't want to,

107
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: you know, annoy you or anything. But but yeah, I

108
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: definitely say that at one point, so we'll see. I'm

109
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: a lot I'm a lot more scared of the Timberwolves

110
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: with that that Rudy Gobert Karl Anthony Towns combo, because

111
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: I don't think we have too much to combat.

112
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: That well right now, you don't. You would have to

113
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: have Chris STAPs.

114
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: Beat Cuisine and.

115
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: For them, but the the MAVs front line rotation packs

116
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of an offensive punch. But more importantly

117
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: what the Timberwolves dealt with last night. And sorry Daniel,

118
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 2: but it's true against the Nuggets, the Timberwolves big men

119
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: had no They faced no resistance at the rim. The

120
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: Jokic was not very solid defensively in that series. The

121
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: Nuggets don't have any other bigs that are gonna provide

122
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: any rim protection. And for Karl Anthony Towns and Rudy

123
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: Gobert and even Nas Red, there was no Anthony Edwards too,

124
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: no resistance at the The MAVs remade defense is just

125
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: a different story. What were you saying Daniel, Sorry, Daniel

126
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: sais in my ear. Maybe I missed it. Oh, he

127
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: just said true, he's agreeing with me. Yeah, if you're

128
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 2: a MAVs fan, you've got to be feeling great. Let's

129
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: take a very very quick break right now. All right,

130
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: welcome back in What's Right with Nick? Right. We think

131
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: we've got the tech issues squared away, at least we

132
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: hope we do. And thanks for the folks in the

133
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: chat who stuck with us through it. Div X Ray

134
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: asked why are so many people doubting Luca? The guy's

135
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: been awesome since coming to the league. His playoff form

136
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: second only to Jordan, and people picked Shay Wemby and

137
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: and over him for the twenty five and under. That's

138
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: in reference to the Ringer list, which with respect, and

139
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: I like the work that the Ringer does and I

140
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: like a lot of the people. There was a ludicrous

141
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 2: list on its face. It didn't make narrative sense. It

142
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: was the twenty five best players under twenty five and

143
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: it had Wimby number one. And it's like, okay, I

144
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: guess what they're they're So if that's the case, what

145
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: you're saying is you are projecting forward based on how

146
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: you know their contract, their age, their evolution, what they're

147
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: gonna be. That's fine, But they had Shae ahead of

148
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: Luca when Luca is actually a little younger than Shay.

149
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: They like it just didn't that entire the the The

150
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,239
Speaker 2: Ringers twenty five under twenty five was a true mess.

151
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: Like I'm trying to remember who they had number ten

152
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: because number ten was another one at number okay, so

153
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 2: so tied for tenth was Jah and Zion and at

154
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: number eight was Jalen Williams from the Thunder and number

155
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: six was Tyrese Maxi and it sandwiched in between those

156
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: guys was Paolo at number nine. Like it just doesn't

157
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: make sense. And so, oh, I don't listen Luca. Here's

158
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 2: a fact that will blow your mind. Luca has more

159
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: now has more First Team All nbas than Steph Curry.

160
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: Luka Ancic has more First Team All nbas than Steph Curry.

161
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: And so he is an all time great player already,

162
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: and if they finish this off and win the title,

163
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: he has an argument he's the best player alive, all right,

164
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: demand dab, let's play the game that we were gonna play,

165
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: bracket to unpack it.

166
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: Yes, We've got a new game called Bracket's unpacket. So

167
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: with four teams remaining in the playoffs, let's take a

168
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: look at who you would trust the most. Yeah, it

169
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: will advance a player to the next round based on

170
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: what you have the most faith in with making the

171
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: smart play and leaving it all in the court, and

172
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: of course hitting the game winning shot. So we're gonna

173
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: show the bracket for you guys. First off, we got

174
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: Luca against Drew holly Day.

175
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's Luca without a doubt. So Luke advances

176
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: that one's very, very easy. What's the next one?

177
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: Bottom?

178
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: There?

179
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: You got Tyree's Halliburton versus Kyrie Irving.

180
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: I you know, this is talk about a renaissance for Kyrie,

181
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about this more Demonse next week, but

182
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: a lot of your Kyrie faith is being vindicated this year.

183
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: There are certain opinions that I have that Demanse clearly fundamentally,

184
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: not just on a sports level but on a deep level,

185
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: disagrees with and doesn't like that I have them. And

186
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: he does I think a really good job of trying

187
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: to be respectful, not in like the father son dynamic,

188
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: but in the kind of the way the podcast is formatted,

189
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: which is it's not really like you know his and

190
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: idueling opinions. And so because of that, there are certain

191
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: times that I can tell, because I know him as

192
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 2: well as I know any person in the world, that

193
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is enraging him. And it happens a

194
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: lot with Kyrie, with Kyrie more so than almost anything.

195
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: And Kyrie has handled himself so brilliantly and been such

196
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: a leader and been playing with so much joy and

197
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: on the x's and O stuff, been playing such a

198
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: winning brand of basketball. And did you so my answer

199
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: here is going to be Kyrie. And we can move

200
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: on in a second to the other. But I want

201
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: to stay here for a second. Did you see that

202
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: idiotic Twitter meme going around where it was a picture

203
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: of Lebron and Kyrie and then a picture of Luke

204
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: and Kyrie, And it was like Kyrie didn't want to

205
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: follow him, but he but he's fine with fileo him.

206
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: Wonder why, like wonder what changed? Is what they wrote,

207
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what changed, guys. Seven years. Kyrie

208
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: has not played with Lebron in seven years. He was

209
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: twenty five years old the last time they played together,

210
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: He's a different person. He has grown, he has matured,

211
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: he has evolved the way all of us have, certainly

212
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: the way most of us do in our mid twenties

213
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: to our early thirties. Now, what has been so impressive

214
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: to me about Kyrie was he seemed to be going

215
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: in the wrong direction. He seemed to be getting more

216
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: erratic and less committed to winning basketball and more problematic

217
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: for teams and all of that stuff. But this, this

218
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: pairing in Dallas, which I did not think would work,

219
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: has worked brilliantly. And you got stan Van Gundy opining

220
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: on the broadcast. Are they the best offensive basket squad

221
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: Ina history? They love each other, bro that Bart's very clear.

222
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: Like I know this sounds a little like draft day cliche,

223
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: but the story that Kyrie was the last person to

224
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: leave Luca's birthday party or vice versa, Luca was the

225
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: last person to leave Kyrie's birthday party, it made me

226
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: smile like I do. There is like a cool kinship

227
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: amongst them all. Right, we can go to the other

228
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: side of the bracket.

229
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: So we got Edwards against Jalen Brown.

230
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: Okay, come on, it's Anthony Edwards. The beginnings of this

231
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: bracket's quite easy bottom one. No, it's just it's I'm

232
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: gonna take Anthony Edwards.

233
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: Go ahead, okay, see anthe Jason Tatum against Karl Anthony Towns.

234
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: That one's an easy one to It's Tatum. And so

235
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: now we have the uh oh. I was gonna say

236
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: the best player on the four teams remaining, but I

237
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: forgot Kyrie over Tyree's. So this one's simple as well.

238
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Luca over Kyrie, and then we've got

239
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: Aunt versus Tatum. I'm gonna go with Ant because at

240
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: the end of games, you know Ant wants the ball,

241
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: and you know Ant is a killer in a way.

242
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: I still don't feel about Jason Tatum.

243
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: Go ahead to manse who between Luke and Kyrie do

244
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: you think takes the last shot?

245
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: I think it is actually defense and position possession dependent.

246
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't think they're like Kyrie is obviously a great closer,

247
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: but Luca in I think the third playoff game of

248
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: his career hit a buzzer beater from twenty eight feet

249
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: to win a game down one to winning the game. Like,

250
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: Luca's got some huge shots. So now it's Luke and

251
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: Ant in the championship part of the bracket, and I'll

252
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: go with Luca. Not surprisingly. I think Lucas gonna win

253
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: the championship. I think it's gonna be finals MVP, and

254
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be the year, the surprising

255
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: Year of Luca. Hey, thanks for watching. If you're still here,
