Last the timber Wolves who 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: just got beat by the thunder as he wrote that backwards, 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: but anyway, one eighteen to one oh three. Shae was 40 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: sensational again tonight, thirty eight points on twelve to twenty one, 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: shooting one of two from the three point line. He's aggressive, 42 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 2: it's always thirteen to fifteen from the free throw line. 43 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: But he got great help from Jalen Williams twelve to 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six big points, chet Holgen twenty two big points. 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 2: Jayalen Williams also chipped in. He was their leading rebounding 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: He had ten rebounds, count him up ten rebounders rebounds. 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: Minnesota at was a very inefficient He did have thirty 48 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: two points, Oh Joe and then Roy, but took him 49 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: twenty six shots to get it. One of nine from 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: the three point line. Remember the other night, I think 51 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: he was one for seven from the three point line, 52 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: and Julius just didn't have it tonight. This is by 53 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: far his worst game in the postseason thus far. Two 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: of eleven from the four or three from the three 55 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: point line, only six points, and that's when that's not 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: good enough to get it done. 57 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 4: I thought the bitch played extremely well. 58 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: Gave him thirty five big points to night O Joe, 59 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: but yeah, starters that let him down. Mike Collin three points, Roy, 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert. Now, all of a sudden, he don't look 61 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: like Will Chamberlain, he doesn't look like he doesn't look 62 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: like Shaquille O'Neill. When he got competent centers, little bit 63 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: out there against it and Julius again said he only 64 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: had six points. Rue. 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 4: I'm gonna start with you. I watched this game, Ojo. 66 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: I watched this game extremely, extremely close because I wanted 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: to see something. 68 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. 69 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: Minnesota can get more than a game if they can 70 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: get that, because the game will be close, Ojo, and 71 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: then they say, you know, they'll dart off and it'll 72 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: be up by fifteen. They will let back down to six, 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: and then they take off again and it'll be up 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: by fourteen. Watching this game, I'm just I'm convinced they 75 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: can't win this series, but I'm not sure they can 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: get more than a game if that Roy. Watching this game, 77 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 2: what is that's been so impressive? And they've been impressive 78 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: all year, so I guess we shouldn't really be surprised 79 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: by the thunder sixty eight wins in the regular season, 80 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 2: the MVP. Uh, they got a Defensive Player of the Year, 81 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: excuse me, a defense all defensive player and lou Dort. 82 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: What is it that OKC is doing to make it 83 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: seem like Minnesota doesn't really belong on the court with him. 84 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: Well, to me, to be honest with you, is like 85 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: the defense a around the three point line as soon 86 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: as Anthony Edwards crosses the three point line, there's bodies 87 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: around him, So like the open space the drives to 88 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: be able to get to the basket and have those 89 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: explosion and Dunke at the rim, those opportunities definitely are 90 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: not there. And then the second thing for me is 91 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: obviously just the guys like Caruso. I mean, you guys 92 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 3: played played sports, and much of the superstars played well. 93 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: They need like the inculary players, the role players to 94 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: play well. Wallace Dort, Jalen Williams, he's an All Star, 95 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 3: but on the defensive end, they were hunting out and 96 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: playing the passing lanes looking for tips in the you 97 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: know they it only says they have nine steals here, 98 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: but I feel like they should have at least a 99 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 3: lot more on the stat sheet because any passed over 100 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: the top to get to Julius Randall, Dort would sniff 101 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 3: it out and then it leads to a transition bucket 102 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: or Jalen Williams, he'd be up in the defense getting deflections, 103 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 3: getting tips. I think he has should have way more 104 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: than I think two steals that he has on the night, 105 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 3: but he was getting out leading the offense through their defense. 106 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: He was, And I think the thing is is that 107 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: that you're right they're loading up. They're not that Anthony 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: Edwards lived through those creases get to the basket, oahoe 109 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: where he can get the and once he got a 110 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: couple of to night. But they're doing a great job 111 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: of loading up on him. And they've got very active hands. 112 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: You see every time Rudy Gobert get off his rebound, 113 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: they slap it out, they get it going the other way. 114 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: And when you turn the ball over against a team 115 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: that's that have great wing players, that means they in 116 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: transition before you know it, because they're taking the ball 117 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: away at the top of the key to three point line, 118 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: so they don't got very far to go. It's not 119 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: a one outlet laying up at the other end. Oh Joe, 120 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: you picked Minnesota. What's been the most disappointing thing? Because 121 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: they've been very disappointed. These games really haven't been close. 122 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: What's been the most disappointing thing when you're watching Minnesota 123 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: that you're like, Damn, this ain't the team that beat 124 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: the Lakers, for one, this is not the team that 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: beat uh the Warriors and made it and did it convincingly. 126 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: What is it that's been most disappointing watching the Tea 127 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: Woods play. 128 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 5: Hey, honestly, just to tell you the truth. Inconsistency. Inconsistency. 129 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 5: One game, you know, Julius Randall, he goes off, he 130 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 5: goes crazy. Then we have another game where Anthony Edwards 131 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 5: he's been efficient, and he has he's been inefficient in 132 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 5: both game. He's putting up he's putting up points, but 133 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 5: he's taking a lot of shots to hit get the points. 134 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 5: He's not very he's not very efficient from the field, 135 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 5: and he's passing games his help. He's not getting much 136 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 5: help collectively from the starters as well. The benches is 137 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 5: doing okay, but the starters need to need to contribute 138 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 5: a little bit more often as opposed to counter to 139 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 5: offset what with home with with Check and Jayden with 140 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: Jayden Williams and and Shade are doing out there. Outside 141 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 5: of that, I mean, Anthony everas is being aggressive as 142 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 5: he can, but defensively they're smothering him. 143 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 6: They're they're contesting every shot. 144 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 5: And they making him very difficult and difficult for Anthony 145 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 5: Evers gets it the hole and get to and get 146 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 5: the points that he is getting. 147 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: After these past two. 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 5: Games, and looking at it, I'm kind of nervous for 149 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 5: making my pick, for picking the Wolves. 150 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 6: I thought they would have played much better. 151 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 5: Sga showing why he is the MVP, being very efficient 152 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 5: from the field and getting everyone else involved as well 153 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 5: and collectively as a team defensively, I mean, they're they're 154 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 5: doing what they've done all season long. They've won sixty 155 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 5: eight games for a reason in the season, and to 156 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 5: see the Wolves down to zero, I'm kind of shocked. 157 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 6: I shouldn't be shocked, but I kind of am thinking that. 158 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 5: The Wolves will play a little better, especially after winning 159 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: the previous series, for one, and I'm I'm kind of 160 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 5: sad a little bit. 161 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the thing is for me is that 162 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: they're doing a great job of turning Minnesota over and 163 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: they're doing a good, great, great job of taking care 164 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: of the basketball. They forced fourteen turnovers, turn those into points. 165 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: They only had six turnovers. And the difference is that 166 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: this is a team and like we talk about this 167 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: all the time, you look at them, they're wing guys. 168 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: They're loaded with wing defenders. They got six. 169 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: Quality guys on a gift forget forget the starters when 170 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: they come in with their role players. They come in 171 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: with Caruso, they come in with Wallace, they come in 172 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: with Isaiah Joe, they come in with Wiggins Road. Those 173 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: are elite. They're elite defenders on the wing. And you see, 174 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: I mean their their deflections and tips. Even if they 175 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: don't steal the ball, O Joe, now they've because they've 176 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: got a deflection, they've taken three, four, five seconds off 177 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: the shot clock. Now you in a rush to get 178 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: into your set, to try to get a quality shot. 179 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: They make you pay for every turnover, every bad shot 180 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: that you take. You throw off something, and all of 181 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: a sudden you hit the floor. They got the ball, 182 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: it's ahead, and the next thing you know, they're laying 183 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: up at the other end. 184 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: Go ahead, Roy. 185 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: I won't say in terms of the Timberwolves. You know, 186 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards didn't do it too much this game, but 187 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: from the last like thing, like three or four games. 188 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 3: I feel like at the beginning of the game, when 189 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: he gets to the basket, before he even feels the contact, 190 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: he's like screaming looking for the refs to bail him out, 191 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 3: and he misses those chippies around the rim. I've seen 192 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 3: him go body to body and it's like dunk on people. 193 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: I know that's not always like how it goes, but 194 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: he has that finesse euro step and everything like that. 195 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: And the next thing I will say is like, I'm 196 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: a little bit harder on big guys. And I think 197 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: something that you said earlier on about go Bear playing 198 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: against competent biggs. You know, when I look at Isaiah 199 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: Hartenstein and his good connection with check Man, that left 200 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: handed push floater is elite around that around the middle 201 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: zone and all around that baseline. And then the fact 202 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: that he can have that little hot push shot and 203 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: then also have the high low lobs to check is great. 204 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: But those bigs you know are are doing well. I 205 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: need to see go Beart make better decisions when he's 206 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: like rolling to the basket, when he catches the ball, 207 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: when he does dribble, because you know, obviously he's not 208 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: a great offensive threat, but he needs to give you 209 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: a little bit something more than just dump off passes 210 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: or just tip backs. He needs to have good you know, 211 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 3: ball possession and make good decisions or good Chris passes. 212 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: Hit people on the numbers. 213 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: Hey, even though you know Roy is a liability is 214 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 5: the word nobody? Yeah, even though Rudy's a liability offensively, 215 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 5: you know, he seems so unorthodox on the offensive end. 216 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 5: But they're they're they're passes that are in there for layups, 217 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 5: for put back that he shouldn't be able to make, 218 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 5: especially in the game of this magnitude, as important as 219 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 5: this game is, and it just seems he's so out 220 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 5: of sync unless he's on the defensive end, you know, 221 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 5: outside of you know, tipping and tipping the ball back 222 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 5: in or catching the rebound and kicking it back out 223 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 5: like he has to. He has to be better in 224 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 5: those games where he had twenty seven and the other 225 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 5: the previous game where he had twenty four. In the 226 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: last series, we need some of that magic in order 227 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 5: for them to have a chance because outside of ant 228 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 5: Man and Julius has to beat has to be on point. 229 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jewish have to play better every game. Yeah, outside of. 230 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 6: Those two, it ain't looking good right now. 231 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: Man. The problem is is that when Rudy had that 232 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: twenty seven point twenty four rebound game, it made you 233 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: forget in Utah, he was unplayable in the fourth quarter. 234 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 4: Last year, he was unplayable in the fourth quarter. 235 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: It seems that people forgot that he's never been an 236 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 2: offensive guy, and now he's not really giving you anything defensively. 237 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 2: He had one block. So if he's not giving you 238 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: think anything defensively, what is his purpose? 239 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 4: What is his use? 240 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: Nothing? I mean, he's got to be able to give 241 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: you some roy. He got to give you something on 242 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: one end or the other. Yeah, you'd like to have 243 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: him give you twelve points, twelve rebounds, four blocks, and 244 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: some altars. He's not giving you any of that. And 245 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: what happened in the Lakers series it made everybody forget 246 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: that Rudy Gobar has been basically his entire career unplayable 247 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. 248 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 4: In playoff games. That's his story. 249 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: We saw him against the Clippers, we saw him every 250 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: we see him in the playoffs, and it for some 251 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: reason people forgot that. Man, Rudy, don't turn it. 252 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: No, he hasn't. 253 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: He's playing against the team that didn't have bigs or 254 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: didn't have competent bigs. And so now he's able to 255 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 2: play thirty thirty four minutes, Saint Rudy normal to play 256 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: twenty minutes, and come fourth quarter time, he ain't nowhere 257 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: near the floor. Yes, standing up when they call time out. 258 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 2: He's standing up looking over everybody shoulders. Luve. Hey, y'all 259 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: get that now, cause you know I ain't coming back 260 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: out there. He's got to give you more. I mean, 261 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: you think about this. Man gave you tonight, O Joe. 262 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: He gave you five points, nine rebounds, one assist in 263 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 2: one block in thirty minutes one block. You talking about 264 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: a four time defensive Player of the Year and Shae 265 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 2: getting getting into the basket at will. That's not supposed 266 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: to happen, Okay, Jaylen Williams get into the basket at 267 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: will and been like, man, well, damn, bro, you're supposed 268 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: to be guarding the rim is the money. You're security. 269 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: You talk flas security. He said, hey, y'all, come come 270 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: on in here and get that right there. Go lay 271 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: that up. Don't have any right. Yeah, he I hate 272 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: fing to hold you. I'm looking at him like bron 273 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: And see. The thing is is that he's never been 274 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: row and correctly from wrong. When I think of Rudy Gobert, 275 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: I don't think about a great on ball defender. 276 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: I think of a great help defender. 277 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: Because if you look at big that he gonna get, 278 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: they cook his ass. Every big that he goes against Cooking. 279 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: I'm like, I ain't saying you gotta stop Yo Kacher, 280 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: but you can't let him have forty seven and twenty. 281 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 2: I ain't saying you gotta stop joeling b but you 282 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: can't let him get thirty five in nineteen. Every big 283 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: now when he goes against somebody, now he's the he 284 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: going against a Ruid, or he gotta play against Lebron. 285 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: He gotta play against you know, a Vanderbilt. Oh he 286 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: just eating I like that. I'm thinking Will Chamberlain. Now 287 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: look at this right here again bigger, and he's their 288 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: biggest player. So and unless you come in with Naz 289 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: Red and Nas is really not a back to the basket. 290 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: He's not a low post. He prefers to be like 291 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: a stretch five on the wing. That's where he likes 292 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: to play. Occasionally, if you get a mismatch, you'll go. 293 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: He did a lot more driving on the basketball, a 294 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: lot more playing with his back to the basket because 295 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: he had a mismatch. But if they don't get anything 296 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: out of Rudy Gobert, something offensively or defensively, Jewish Renal 297 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: can't give you six. He needs to give you if 298 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: a man gave you thirty two, he need to give 299 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: me twenty four to twenty eight. That's the only way 300 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: they're gonna have a chance. When you got Shay got 301 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: thirty eight, you got Jayla Wias got twenty six, and 302 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: Chack got twenty two, that's the only way you're gonna 303 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: have a chance. I don't believe they could win this series, Roy, 304 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: but it's hard at watching this game, really really like 305 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: watching and watching what they do. It's just hard for 306 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: me to see them winning a game. 307 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 5: Hey, royan un man that god damn sga man. I knew, 308 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 5: I knew he was nice. You know, I knew he 309 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 5: was nice. But may he breaking the wool's spirit out there? 310 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: Man? 311 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: Defensively, we have. 312 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 6: No answer for him. May he get to a spotsey 313 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 6: drawing files. He's freezing the defenses. It has he the 314 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 6: he put that four arm, He created space. 315 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 5: He created that space for that shoulder like Carmello A 316 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 5: little bit. Man, I'm like, his toolbox is crazy. You 317 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 5: got a crazy toolbox, And I showed Joe took about 318 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 5: the medi being somewhat non existence. 319 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 6: And more to the players, Man, his mid range game 320 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 6: is crazy y points. 321 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 5: He is minty he getting about eleven twelve points just 322 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 5: on mid range alone outside of threes. 323 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: And because he works on it, everybody else want to 324 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: be at the basket or they want to shoot the three. 325 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: Nobody really works on the media. Look at the guys 326 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: that really work at the mini. Look at Kawhi Nice, 327 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: look at Shaye Nice, look at guys that really work 328 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: at the mid range. You gotta really work at it, 329 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: just like you put time in it shooting those threes. 330 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: Put time in working on the threes. Roy, you had 331 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: a point you wanted to make, go ahead. No, I 332 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: mean everything O Joe said was exactly right. But to 333 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: me also like the mental side of the game too. 334 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: Seeing the guys get frustrated and just push Shade to 335 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: the ground and get assessed a test that's creeping into 336 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: their minds. 337 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: You know, and that to me is like another thing, 338 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: like you're just wearing them down, wearing them down. I 339 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: think the Timberwolves will get a game at their home, 340 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: but I agree with you, I find it hard to 341 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: believe that they can win this series now, you know, 342 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: with Gobert not being able to play to the to 343 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 3: the level. 344 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 4: That he has in the past. 345 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 3: Uh, defensively, I would think they would go small with 346 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: Knives or with Julius and the fact that they haven't 347 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 3: been playing that well, it's I don't know where they 348 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 3: go from here for the for the next game. I 349 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 3: looked at I look at my pacers. Uh last night, 350 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: you know Miles Turner, who I love, who actually you know, 351 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 3: they drafted to get my ass up out of there. 352 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 3: All the respect them and everything. He actually, you know, 353 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: I felt like he was selfless. He didn't like have 354 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 3: a great game, but like he wasn't in the game 355 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 3: a majority in the third, in the fourth quarter, and 356 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: and you know what, the Celtics, but the other the 357 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: Pacers went small with topping and mathering at the four 358 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 3: and the five for a little bit Pascal. 359 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 4: So I feel like the the. 360 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 3: The Timberwolves don't have a reliable uh four or five 361 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 3: that can come in and take Rudy spot that can 362 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 3: give you some good minutes like my Pacers did last night. 363 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 4: And they play and they play TV. 364 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: Thomas Bryant came in and gave him some quality minutes 365 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: last night also, and I think that's what you have 366 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 2: to have. It's kind of hard because you know when 367 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 2: you go if you go small and you're talking about 368 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: your pacers. You go small against the pacers and they 369 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 2: mess around and go all of a sudden they go 370 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: cat and they go Mitchell Robinson. Now you're you're in 371 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 2: a world hurt because now they they're about to play 372 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 2: a they just about to be to pay tap and 373 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: rebound and kick out. Uh even if you even if 374 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: you even if they take, if they take out Cat, 375 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 2: they go Mitchell Robinson. If you take out, if you take, 376 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: it's hard because he's looks all he's doing is looking 377 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: for lobbs and to get Rebegi extra extra chance. The 378 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 2: Knicks are big team because you you go cat, you 379 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: go o G. You got Michael Bridges who's six seven. 380 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: They got some athletic guys. So if you go, if 381 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: you go small, relatively small, if you say, let you 382 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: know what, we're gonna start nods. 383 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: Then. 384 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: Then where where where you go at you're gonna play. 385 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: You're gonna play Jadon McDaniels at the at the five spot. 386 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: He's the next tallest guy. 387 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 388 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, unless you go, unless you play Jue, unless you 389 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: played you revel at the five and then you got 390 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: him trying to bang. Okay, maybe he banks with a 391 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: Hartenstein and check that's you know, baby heart, probably the Hardenstein. 392 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: But they just got to get more production. Rudy Gobert 393 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: got to give him more than five and nine. Mike 394 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 2: Conley one for six, one for four. That's not nearly 395 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: nearly good enough. And Julius Rendald can't ever ever just 396 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: give you six points. 397 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 4: He's too good. He's been too good that he's been 398 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,959 Speaker 4: exceptional these playoffs. 399 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: But like you said, o Jo Shade, tonight, five straight 400 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 2: games of at least thirty points. He had thirty eight 401 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: eight with three steals, thirty one points, five rebounds, nine assists, 402 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 2: thirty five points, four assists, three steals, thirty twos, three 403 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 2: and six, thirty one, six and seven. First player in 404 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: five franchise history with five consecutive thirty point playoff games. Tonight, 405 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: he made more free throws thirteen than the Wolves starters twelves. 406 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 6: Hey man, that goddamn minute. 407 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 5: The boy tool of us when we talk about him 408 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 5: going to the free throw line so much, but when 409 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 5: he put the ball on the floor, he is able 410 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: to create every time he gets the ball. Every time 411 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 5: he gets the ball, I don't I'm trying to understand 412 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 5: how that's so easy for him to get I so 413 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 5: so to have people pick, and it's so goddamn difficult 414 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 5: for Anthony Edws to ice. So there's very creation when 415 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 5: ad has the ball. Go ahead, go ahead, you're not 416 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 5: telling me when when it comes when when he, oh, 417 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 5: my goodness, well Sga gets the ball. It just seems 418 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 5: every time, not every so often, every time he's he 419 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 5: gets he's able to get ICEO, he's able to create 420 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 5: separation if you can't get the ice, so he's able 421 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 5: to get it off the pick in a role he 422 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 5: gets to a spot, he's so fucking efficient from the 423 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 5: goddamn feet, it seemed like everything is working for him. 424 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 5: Then on the opposite side, I'm like, well, god damn, 425 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 5: why this so typical for ed Not only did ioles 426 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 5: when he can't get iso, then he had very little 427 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 5: cration because defensively they soon got damn long and lengthy. 428 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 6: He's got damn on just to get it. 429 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: God damned shut off. Well, the team with the thunder 430 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 2: loading up, and you see the difference is that they 431 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: got parent wing defenders. 432 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 4: They switch one through five. Rudy, go where where are 433 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 4: you gonna go? 434 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: He can't make no threes, so I'm not worried about it. 435 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 2: He's not an offensive web. So they say, look now, 436 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: one of two things you either gonna start have to 437 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: bless him or trap him and make him give the 438 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: ball up. Because if you let him play what they're 439 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: let him play too much one on one right now, 440 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: if you let him play one on one, he's gonna 441 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: get it at. 442 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 4: Thirty thirty average, thirty two points. 443 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 2: Hey, you shoot an efficient Now he's back into fifty percent. 444 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: You're not beating him. You let him get his numbers, 445 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 2: and you let him be efficient while he's getting his numbers. 446 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: Oh till you're not beating this team. J to night 447 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: twenty six, ten and five, his first every twenty five 448 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: to ten to five game, you got check, gave me 449 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: twenty two. 450 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: Rau. 451 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 3: It's really They were nine for thirty three from the 452 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 3: three point line too, So it's not like they were 453 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 3: knocking down threes and there was oh so much space. 454 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: You had to go tag a shooter. You have a 455 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: most dangerous shooter. That's twenty seven percent from the three 456 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 3: point line is not a good knight. And they were 457 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 3: still unable to get whatever they wanted. 458 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing is is because they're able 459 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: to play five on four because Rudy and then that 460 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 2: they know Rudy is not an offensive threat. So why 461 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: why my guardener? Okay, oh y'all want you to ask 462 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: me again? Why my guarding him when he's not an 463 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: offensive threat? 464 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 4: Right? 465 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: You Right, either he gonna catch a lob or he's 466 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: gonna try to get a put back and the thing up. 467 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: It takes him so long to unwine. So by the 468 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 2: time he tried to bring the ball up, they slapped down. 469 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: They got the ball like going the other way. How 470 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 2: many times we saw that tonight? Yeah? 471 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 5: Right, Hey, Anthony, everags got to be on point. He 472 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 5: doing what he does. Even if you're not efficient, you 473 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 5: got to keep putting up point. 474 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: He was aggressive, I'll give him back. He was aggressive. 475 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: You look, I think he's selling too much. He got 476 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 2: somebody that you know. The thing that happened was he 477 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 2: took more threes this year. He led the NBA and 478 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 2: made threes. He kind of think and sometimes I think 479 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: he falls in love with it a little too much. 480 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 4: Right, But. 481 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: At some point in time, we just got to come 482 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: to the realization that the thunder had been the best 483 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 2: team in the West and hoping and wishing and somebody 484 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: all they to do this. Shay is on damn near 485 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: every night, and I could see like he's gonna get 486 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: to the fire line. Yeah, he's getting to the fire line. 487 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: They shot twenty fourth, they shot twenty four free throws, 488 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: he had fifteen attimps. He's he's doing That's what we wanted. 489 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: That's what we want to see, O Joe, Okay, how 490 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: did you get there? At least Jay is like, you 491 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 2: know what this a I'm the MVP. Let me show 492 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: you why I'm the MVP. I was efficient shout on 493 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 2: on fifty two percent from the floor. I led the 494 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 2: league in scord.

Ju 515 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 5: just random, continue to be aggressive and hope your supporting 516 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 5: cast shows up. 517 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 6: And it's it's an uphill It's an uphill battle from 518 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 6: this point. 519 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 5: Now. Yeah, look, you might throw everything in the kitchen 520 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 5: sink at him. The bitch didn't play bad. They got 521 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 5: three guys. 522 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 2: They only played three guys tonight, and they gave him 523 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 2: thirty five points off the bench. Uh, they only got 524 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: seventeen points off the bench, So you dumb basically doubled 525 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: them up from bench scoring. But when you have a 526 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: starter to giving you, I mean your other starters outside 527 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 2: of J. J. McDaniel's an ant man who gave you 528 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: fifty four, you got fourteen points from your other three starters. 529 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 4: Fourteen points that needs to bro in a playoff game. 530 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 2: Unless what unless Naves Reed go crazy and make six 531 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: to seven threes, Devinceienzo, unless you get like fifty points 532 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: from and it's hard thing about they only playoff eight guys, 533 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: So to get fifty points from three guys, that's ask 534 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: him on all for a lot, Julius. I expect to 535 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: have a bounce have a bounce back game. Like I said, 536 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 2: this is the worst game that we've seen from him 537 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: in the postseason this year thus far.

I'm so sure he got the tools of 551 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: riding right now that's ready to go to battle with him. 552 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 2: It's he ain't gonna out there to battle and he 553 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: alone right now. Julius is gonna have to be better. 554 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: I expect him to be better. But Mike Connon can't 555 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 2: give us three, He can't. Rudy, you gotta give us. 556 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 2: Rudy got to give us at least a double double. 557 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: Roy I don't think that's ask too much? Am I 558 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: ask you too much? Royan for a double double? I mean, 559 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: look at Mitchell Robinson. He grabs offensive rebounds and he 560 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: does he think. 561 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 3: I want to see the battle between free throw shooting 562 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: between Gobert and Mitchell Robinson. And the New York fans 563 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: just like love Mitchell every time he goes to the 564 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: free throw line because they see the effort. And I 565 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: know I'm drawing distension between these two teams and these 566 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 3: two players, But like, look at Mitchell when he actually 567 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 3: gets into a switch like he feels Timodal feels comfortable 568 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: with him out there guarding the perimeter players. He gets 569 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 3: down in his stands, he gets low, he can move 570 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 3: his feet. Yes, sometimes he puts two hands on the 571 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 3: body at the end of the play, and he might 572 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 3: get pick up the foul. But he's competent out there 573 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 3: and he's able to move. So, I mean, there's syllable 574 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 3: similar type of players, but there's one player, you know. 575 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 4: Uh, I mean, but yeah, I'm. 576 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: Just gonna leave it with that. 577 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 578 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: In other words, Rudy steeleing, Uh, this is the ninth 579 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: straight season O jo that the MVP doesn't have a tattoo. 580 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 4: Shay Yo kic Embiid, Johannis Harden and Russ. 581 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: Russ won the MVP in twenty seventeen, he got tattoos 582 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.

Okay, Ojoe, let's revisit 699 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: the Pacers King's trade. The Pacers received Tyreese Halliburton, Buddy Hill, 700 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 2: Tristan Thompson. The Kings received the Montes Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb, 701 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: Justin Holliday, a twenty twenty three second round pick, and 702 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: a king size a family pack, a family sized bag 703 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 2: of potato chips. 704 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 4: Holiday. 705 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: I think if I'm not mistaken any with the Rockets.

His dad was seven three, 719 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 2: But he'll that we know he he you know, uh, 720 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 2: he's all of a sudden he's with the Golden State Warriors. 721 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: Now Tristan is back in Cleveland. Look Sabonis wasn't an 722 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 2: All Star player, but Hallie Burton and what he's been 723 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 2: able to do. 724 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, mans heasy Murger to be one of the best 725 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 5: in the game. 726 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 2: Does a great job of describing the basketball oho and 727 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 2: he's not a high turnover guy. He's a proj I 728 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 2: love him when he's aggressive royal when when tied with 729 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 2: Reese is is aggressive because sometimes I think he said him. 730 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 2: Sometimes I think he just tried to get people involved. 731 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: You know, he's the old He's a prototypical old school 732 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 2: magic Johnson stopped and Jason Kidd top of a point guard. 733 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 2: He's really not looking to score, but when he's looking 734 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: to score and put pressure on the defense. 735 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 4: Many can I. 736 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 5: Can I can I say something about last night? I 737 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 5: just always want you to think about this. Yes, he 738 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 5: had an opportunity to tie the game towards the end 739 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 5: with the clock running down, he said, I'm finna dribble 740 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 5: behind the arc, like hear that at AAU basketball game 741 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 5: and I'm a he was shot up. 742 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 6: In the bounce. 743 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, if everybody should have played a lotto last night, 744 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,959 Speaker 5: if you're a patience fan, because luck was running through 745 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 5: everybody's veins, including brother Halliburton. 746 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's insane. 747 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: But nor Roy, the rule of thumb, you go for 748 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 2: the win on the road, you go for the tie 749 00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 2: at home. 750 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 4: I say that go for the wind. 751 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 2: You have nothing to lose. 752 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 3: You're gonna go back home to Indiana at some point, 753 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: and you know, play two games at home, so you 754 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 3: would want to like go for the win and split 755 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 3: the first two games. But I say the pace at 756 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 3: which the Pacers play allows them to have the freedom 757 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 3: and the effect that they, like you said, don't turn the 758 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 3: ball over as well, that's icing on the cake. And 759 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 3: then they spread the floor out so well. I feel 760 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 3: like the only real post presence really is Pascal siaka 761 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 3: Miles Turner can pick and pop. That allows him to 762 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 3: allows Halliburton to get to the paint. But it's like 763 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 3: a real good cohesive group. Yes, it was a perfect storm. 764 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 3: No too, Like I think Brunson getting those fouls in 765 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 3: the middle of the third quarter when Memhard and TJ McConnell, 766 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 3: like again, those role players that are attacking him at 767 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 3: all points, they don't allow him to take possessions off. 768 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 3: They try to get him in the pick and roll 769 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 3: to switch, or they try to push it in one 770 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 3: on one in transition and get right to the hole 771 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 3: and see if he's gonna either try to contest and 772 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 3: potential foul or give up the layup a perfect store 773 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 3: for the pacers. 774 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 2: Lest Yeah, And the thing is they play with such 775 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: pace as you mentioned. And so now knowing that that 776 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 2: Tims only want to play like seven eight guys, seven guys. Yeah, 777 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 2: and you know he wants to play on forty four minutes, 778 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 2: playing forty four minutes at the pace in which the 779 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: Pacers play, you're asking an awful lot. Yeah, and you 780 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 2: got You're right, Roy. When they keep attacking, they're like, look, 781 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 2: we're not gonna let him rest. 782 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 4: TJ. 783 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: Don't you let him rest, Hallie, we know you're not 784 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 2: gonna let him rest. Nim Hard, don't let him rest, 785 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 2: Nissa Smith, don't let him rest, Math, But don't let 786 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 2: him rest. 787 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 4: If he's on you attack him. 788 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 2: We know what he is offensively, so we want to 789 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: attack him when he's on the defensive end, to try 790 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 2: to take some of that bite out of those legs. 791 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, he also had those seven turnovers too, you know, 792 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 3: so it's wearing on him and I feel like, you know, Tim's, 793 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 3: like you said, is known for playing a very short lineup. 794 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 3: If this thing is to a game seven, I don't 795 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 3: know if those Villanova all four of those Villanova knicks 796 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 3: are going to be able to be available to play 797 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 3: something if there is a game seven. So where would 798 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 3: you rank? It's not what injuries on anybody. I hope 799 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 3: everybody stays healthy, yes, but it's just history that's shown 800 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 3: that Tims team's kind of like, you know, the players 801 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, fall off a little bit 802 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 3: because I feel like there was worn out. 803 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 2: Look Demonte Sabonis because basically it's the bonus and haller Burton, 804 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 2: Uh ty Reese has been an All Star for a 805 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: couple of years. Sabonis has been an All Star for 806 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 2: a couple of years. Uh, Halliburton won a gold medal. 807 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 2: I think Sabonis was on the Lithuanian team. They didn't 808 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 2: win any medals. But this trade is not worse than 809 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 2: than the Clippers getting Paul George and giving up Shaye 810 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: Gallinari in five first round picks and two pick swaps. 811 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 4: That's the worse trade than this one. 812 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 2: Uh. Everybody thinking it's probably thinking the Luca trade because 813 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 2: it's so fresh in your mind and it just happened. 814 00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:00,479 Speaker 2: But uh, I mean, I look, the Kings can't feel 815 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: bad because the Kings did have Darren Fox. Darren Fox 816 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 2: was an All Star, so they've had an medical replacement. 817 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 2: It's just that Halley's had his team twice in the 818 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals back to back years. So I like 819 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 2: I like reason. Charles Barkley wants John Halliburton to be unbanned. 820 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: He paid his dues. It shouldn't be indefinite. He's been 821 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,479 Speaker 2: punished enough. He would never do anything that's stupid. Again, Roy, 822 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 2: should John Halliburton be permanently banned? 823 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 4: No? 824 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 3: No, I think it's just like you know, I think 825 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 3: it should have been like a one game and then 826 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 3: just move on to the next news cycle. I don't 827 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 3: think people need to, like, you know, make this a 828 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 3: big thing. I hope he's not banned. 829 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 4: I don't know. 830 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 3: The Pacers are flying me out. I'm getting flown out 831 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 3: by the Pacers. 832 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 4: For Game three. 833 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be there with my son, so hopefully I 834 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 3: get to shake his hand. We'll take a picture and 835 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 3: everything like that. I'll report back to you, all right. 836 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. 837 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, Oh Jo, I'm anxious to hear 838 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 2: what you say on at But. 839 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 4: I think, look, he made a mistake. 840 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 2: He got caught up in the motion, and sometimes when 841 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 2: the motion is how logic is low. And you know 842 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 2: he ran on the court. Obviously that's a no. No 843 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 2: he ran on the court. Then, you know, I think 844 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 2: what the NBA was concerned about, it wasn't so much 845 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 2: him on the court. Is what he did when he 846 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 2: got on the court. He went up into a player's face. 847 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 2: Now you know how players are roy When we lose, 848 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 2: we're not either losses And that's kind of how we 849 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 2: became what we became, because losing was not okay with us. 850 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 2: That's what kind of shape molded us to become the 851 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 2: players we became. A lot of times, you run up 852 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 2: on the right the wrong player. No, let me take 853 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 2: that back. You run up on the right player at 854 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: the wrong time, and my mind will help you. Jannis 855 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 2: showed a lot of restraint because a lot sometimes don't 856 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 2: your people defend. Man, this is my opportunity. Get me 857 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 2: a hey, let me hear that one. Le Gary Blunt. 858 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 2: Remember lou Gary Blunt, Boys and State. They lost, the 859 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 2: Organ got red on the field. No Organ lost to Boys, 860 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 2: Estate and the guy random the field relevant and the 861 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 2: Garrett Bluff face Cock. So you just have to be careful. 862 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 2: I understand the NBA is airing on the side of caution, 863 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 2: but yeah, let him come on back. I think he 864 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: paid his due. I think he learned his lesson. I 865 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,439 Speaker 2: think and Haley said it best. 866 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 4: Had to say. 867 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 2: You know what, man, I talked to my pops. He 868 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 2: knows he can't do that, but it should not be 869 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 2: for perpetuity. 870 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 4: He missed. 871 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,720 Speaker 2: He missed the two games, he missed the two home 872 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 2: games that he had. Let him come on back for 873 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 2: game three and hey, if that made the finals. I'm 874 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 2: coming in there with the disguise. You know, a couple 875 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,280 Speaker 2: to be able to beard. I might have you a beard. 876 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm coming there with the new guys. I'm 877 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 2: gonna see myself up play in the NBA finals. 878 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 879 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 5: Absolutely, you have no choice. You got no choice. I 880 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 5: think the band is a little it's a little too excessive. 881 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 5: You know, Pop's gotta understand. You can celebration, you to 882 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 5: have fun. You definitely can't go on the court. You 883 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 5: can't go on the court, and you can't go in 884 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 5: the players face. I thought maybe there was a relationship 885 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 5: or they might have known each other, which is why 886 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 5: he was able to do it, because most of the 887 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,720 Speaker 5: time parents don't feel comfortable, especially after win celebrating another 888 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 5: player's face. 889 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 6: So I thought there was some type of relationship. 890 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 5: Between Gobert and and and not Gobeer, between Joannis, pops and. 891 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 4: And Pops and Yannis. 892 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 5: Honest, so I'm obviously it must not have been so 893 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 5: most of the time it was comfortable, comfortable going to 894 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 5: players faces like that. 895 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 6: But hey, we get they got to lift that band. 896 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 6: They can't do it like that. 897 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 4: And he had a towel with his son face on it. 898 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 2: You like this like this, like uh yeah, but I agree. 899 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 2: I think we're I think we're in a unison here 900 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 2: is that. 901 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 4: Look. 902 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 2: I think he's paid his dues, he's missed two games. 903 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 2: I think now let him come on back. Give him 904 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 2: a stirring warning, mister Halliburt. That can't happen again. You know, 905 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 2: I look, everybody. 906 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 4: Knows who he is. 907 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 2: Oh, Joe, your son just wanted to start players, and 908 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 2: so they're gonna give you a little bit, a little 909 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,439 Speaker 2: bit more leniency. As far as going on the court, 910 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 2: they're not going, Hey, get up that court. They're like, 911 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 2: you know, they probably miss Talliburton. He should step back 912 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 2: a little bit. So they gonna give you a little 913 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 2: bit more grace. We know, we know how that worked. 914 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 2: But uh, I think he's learned his lesson and I 915 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 2: don't think we'll have that problem again. So I definitely 916 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 2: think the issue should be on. The band should be lifted, 917 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 2: and he should be allowed to see his son play 918 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jared McClain was reacting to 919 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 2: the play where bruntson file baited TJ McConnell last night, 920 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 2: and McCain said, file bating is just smart. Even when 921 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: I talked to Joel Andbiet about it, he thinks he's 922 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 2: just playing the game smart. 923 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 4: Roy, do you agree? 924 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 2: So I feel like. 925 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 3: This is always comes up, like even before harder than 926 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 3: there was a guy Kevin Martin that played for the 927 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 3: Houston Rockets and he also played for Go to Sacramento Kids. 928 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 3: Yees fact, But he was the fraid. He was a thin, 929 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 3: frail guy. Kind of looked like Aliburton a little bit 930 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 3: in terms of like the body type. A little push shot. Yeah, 931 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 3: but this is gonna be in the game no matter what. 932 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 3: I don't want to be too long winded here, but 933 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 3: you know, when I was playing Lebron against the Heat 934 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 3: the Pacers Heat Series, Lebron used to do this thing 935 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,760 Speaker 3: where like he's always even before Lebron the Pacer Heat Series, 936 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 3: he would cuff the ball get to the basket. I 937 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 3: would try to block the shot, you know, and I 938 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 3: get called for the foul because you know, when you 939 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 3: cuff it, that's one thing when you try to lay 940 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 3: it up, you can go try to block it. So 941 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 3: I had to learn verticality jump straight up. Yes, the 942 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 3: concert adapt to the game. I had to adapt to 943 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 3: the game. I'm not going to complain about it. Unless 944 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 3: the referees in the summer said, you know what, you know, 945 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 3: we need to address this, then I could be like, 946 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 3: you know what, maybe I could relax, maybe I can 947 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 3: complain more. But for me, if the rules are there 948 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 3: and and the offensive players doing it, all, this is 949 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 3: on me to figure out how to work either in 950 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 3: real time to figure it out, or during the summer 951 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 3: when you're in the lab, you know, because I always 952 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 3: used to work on you know, three things offense, at 953 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 3: least two things on defense in my workout, and then 954 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 3: keep rotating those things. So that's just how my mindset is. 955 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 6: What do you think, Joe, Yeah, honestly, I like it. 956 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 2: Uh. 957 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 5: Most of the people call it flopping. I call it 958 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 5: manipulate the game. As a dB, you you think about it, 959 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,760 Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not saying I'm a dB, but there 960 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 5: are many tricks to the trade, you know, trying trying 961 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 5: to help yourself, give me yourself and an advantage when 962 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 5: you playing the game. Listen, putting your shoulder down, being 963 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 5: a little theatrical with your head movements like Jennen Bruston 964 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 5: is at times, and and drawing those files. It's a 965 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 5: part of the game. It's manipulating the game to get 966 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 5: yourself to the line and give you advantages that the 967 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 5: ref sometimes can't see in real time. 968 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 6: I mean, why not until they find a way to 969 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 6: stop it. 970 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 5: What you can't you know in real time because the 971 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 5: naked eye really can't see that you take advantage of it. 972 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 4: Whatnot? 973 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Harden was really great at it. A left handed player. 974 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 2: Jalen brunsts and has adopted it. And Shae is another one. Now, 975 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 2: Shade does a great job of getting that separation. And 976 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 2: what they're trying to do is create separation. I want 977 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 2: to get my shot. I want to get this shot off, 978 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 2: and and and and Shade does it to get to 979 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 2: that mini as good as anybody. Harden was doing it 980 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 2: to get always Hardeners trying to get all the way 981 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,919 Speaker 2: to the paint. You're gonna even get to that floor. 982 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 2: You're gonna get to that dominant hand and lay the 983 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 2: ball up. So, uh yeah, I don't have a problem 984 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 2: with it. These guys have perfected it. They understand how 985 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 2: to get to the how to how to get to 986 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 2: the free throw line, how to manipulate you said, oho 987 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 2: the defense and and make you draw fiut and and 988 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,479 Speaker 2: they a lot of them, a lot of them guys 989 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 2: got that herky jerky motion. You think they go going 990 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 2: for a shot, and actually they give you the head 991 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 2: faking you don't jump into them. And now they jump 992 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 2: and throw the ball up. And now he's going to 993 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 2: get two or three free throw attempt. So that's part 994 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 2: of the game. And guys are gonna have to learn 995 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 2: how to to uh defend without filing. The NBA Now 996 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 2: they're all defensive teams. Dyson Daniels are the Hawks, Lou 997 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 2: Dort Thunder, Draymond Warriors, Evan Mobley who is Defensive Player 998 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 2: of the Year CALVS, and Armin Thompson of the Houston Rockets. 999 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 2: Any any problem with that? That uh that first team 1000 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 2: All Defense or Roy No? 1001 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 4: I love it. 1002 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 3: I think Evan Mobile, you know, exemplified, you know, being 1003 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 3: able to be the new type of big guy who 1004 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: can you know, not only score, but can actually like 1005 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: move his feet defend and then guard multiple positions. You know, 1006 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 3: I cover college basketball for CBS, and like one of 1007 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 3: the things I always talk about is, you know, bigs 1008 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 3: have to be able to be mobile, can defend multiple positions. 1009 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 3: And he's the prototype of it right there, right then, 1010 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 3: And they're not that many seven footers that are moving 1011 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 3: around could do it now because of how the speed 1012 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 3: of the game. So I feel like I have no 1013 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 3: problem with that. And more and more guards and win 1014 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 3: players on the defensive team. To me, it's the trend 1015 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: of how the NBA is going has been going. 1016 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,840 Speaker 2: But you know what, there are some guys that normally 1017 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 2: makes defense the All Defensive team that wasn't og Ananobi 1018 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 2: was not there, Jannis wasn't there. Bam wasn't there, Dereck 1019 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 2: White wasn't there, Holiday wasn't there. Do you think anybody 1020 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 2: was snubbed that should have been on. I'm surprised Jiannis 1021 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 2: wasn't on because Gianni's is normally been on. Yeah, Bam, 1022 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,720 Speaker 2: if thought if it's one of the better defending centers. 1023 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 2: You know he switched inn yard one through five. Derrick White, 1024 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 2: we know we think of him defensively. That's one of 1025 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 2: the reasons that he was on the Olympic, the US 1026 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 2: Select team, the Olympic team. So o g he's one 1027 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 2: of one of the defenders. But I agree with you, Roy, 1028 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 2: I don't really have a problem. I'm surprised that none 1029 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 2: of these guys because Zubas or the Clippers made second 1030 00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 2: team Jaron Jackson, Junior, Jaylen Williams, uh Camara. 1031 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 4: Of Portland and Rudy Gobert. 1032 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 2: They could Bam or og Oriannis could easily taken Gobert's 1033 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 2: place have it this year and it's okay. You don't 1034 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 2: keep having to put players on there. Oh, yeah, well 1035 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 2: he's been. He's four time Defensive Player of the Year. 1036 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 2: If the guy doesn't have a season that warn't him 1037 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 2: being on there, don't put him on there. It's okay. 1038 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 2: It's okay if you don't put Rudy Gobert on the 1039 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 2: All Defensive team because I don't think he had an 1040 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 2: All defensive. 1041 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:35,760 Speaker 4: Team type of a season this year. Right Maybe Drew Holliday. 1042 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 3: I feel like he's just the Olways common presence on defense. 1043 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 3: He's up and up on the guards, using his hands, 1044 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 3: he gets under screens. You know, maybe maybe that could 1045 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 3: be a player. But you know, then again, you never 1046 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 3: know where their ranking was on the defensive end. 1047 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 2: The NBA world is a waiting Lebron's decision on his 1048 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 2: player option with the Lakers for next season. Rich Paul 1049 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 2: said on The Rich Eisend Show today, I think everybody's 1050 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,399 Speaker 2: been on pins and needles for a while. I wish 1051 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 2: I had an answer. I don't know. It's early. I 1052 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 2: don't have a conversation like that. I go into each 1053 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 2: year like he's continued to play. I've never even talked 1054 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 2: about that physically, he can play several more years. I 1055 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 2: don't think it's the physical aspect of it. I think 1056 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 2: it's where you are mentally with these guys. I think 1057 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 2: we put so much on the individual. There's a lot 1058 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 2: of players, there's a lot of layers to success as 1059 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 2: an individual, and I think when you think about him 1060 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 2: per se, there's a lot of decision that has to 1061 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,799 Speaker 2: be made, you know, going into the locker room, what's 1062 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 2: the roster look like, what's the approach to each player? 1063 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 2: Is He's always going to get everybody's best shot, and 1064 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,320 Speaker 2: so this is a team he's on with the history 1065 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 2: of the. 1066 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 4: Team, Roy, if I had to ask you. 1067 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 2: What do you think Lebron's gonna do? Is he gonna 1068 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 2: opt out opt in? What are some of the factors 1069 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,919 Speaker 2: that will go into the decision that Lebron is gonna 1070 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 2: make to either opt in or opt out of that contract? 1071 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like he's gonna be in a 1072 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 3: Lakers jersey next year. He'll probably opt out and then 1073 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 3: probably made me sign like a two year deal, very 1074 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 3: hefty two year deal, probably finish out his career for 1075 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 3: the Lakers. You know, you know, it's hard for me 1076 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,760 Speaker 3: with with with with Lebron because I want to believe 1077 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 3: him when he says that he's not a part of 1078 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 3: the front office, you know, conversations, even though you know 1079 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 3: he would think the best player in the NBA right 1080 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 3: now would have his hands in the cookie jar and 1081 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 3: and everything. But they gotta you know, he's gonna be back. 1082 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 3: But they definitely need to upgrade, like the big position. 1083 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 3: But they definitely need to center bad and and and 1084 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 3: then obviously you know, you know Don Luca and then 1085 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 3: you know how. 1086 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,240 Speaker 4: He got thrown under the bus. 1087 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 3: I feel like a little bit after in terms of 1088 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 3: calling out his condition is I feel like that needs 1089 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,440 Speaker 3: to be like, I mean, that's not what you're asking me. 1090 00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 3: Lebron's gonna be back, but I hope that they can, 1091 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 3: you know, he could rub off on Luca a little 1092 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 3: bit to like, you know, tighten up at the beginning 1093 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:03,760 Speaker 3: of the season. 1094 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 2: Well, they did hire a strength and conditioning coach, and 1095 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 2: as we talked about a couple of nights ago, Roy, 1096 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard us, is that a 1097 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,840 Speaker 2: lot of these elite guys, they have their own guys 1098 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 2: they work with that as far as weight lifting, as 1099 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: far as physio and all that other stuff. I know, Lebron, 1100 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,319 Speaker 2: Mike mussie Us is with Lebron all the time, and 1101 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 2: so a lot of these guys used to be Tim Brower. 1102 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 2: But a lot of these guys have their own personal 1103 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 2: guys that they trained with and do things with. 1104 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 4: But it's nice to see. 1105 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 2: But I'm gonna and Luca's taking it, and because you know, 1106 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 2: I just feel like in the playoffs he starts to 1107 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 2: wear down and you know, it seems like it's back 1108 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,879 Speaker 2: and he starts to move like he's seventy two years 1109 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 2: old and he's barely twenty six. 1110 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 4: Uh oh, Joe, what you my fault? What do you think? 1111 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 4: What Lebron gonna do? 1112 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 6: Listen? 1113 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,799 Speaker 5: Can he can opt out? I mean he could opt 1114 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 5: in either way. He's gonna be a Laker. He's gonna 1115 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 5: play another two maybe three years. I think he's gonna 1116 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 5: do everything he can to stretch it long enough where 1117 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 5: you can play with his youngest son. Outside of that, 1118 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 5: with him and Luca had it was special last year. 1119 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 5: I think he wants to continue that. I think he's 1120 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 5: gonna have discussions with Jenny and Polinka about getting it 1121 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,439 Speaker 5: big in there and getting some help so they can 1122 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 5: they can keep He doesn't want to just keep playing 1123 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 5: and keep opting in or opting or opting out, but 1124 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 5: building a team and Ryland where they can be in 1125 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 5: contention year in and year out, and whatever whatever necessary 1126 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 5: moves needs to be made, they probably be made this season. 1127 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 6: So they're just not going home in the first round 1128 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 6: and actually contending for another title. 1129 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 4: What were you? What was your point you wanted to 1130 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 4: make Roy lit? I moved on. I forgot that. 1131 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 2: I'll keep it moving all right, moving de Marcus Cousins, 1132 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 2: who spent twenty eighteen nineteen season with the Warriors, says 1133 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 2: Steve Kurr doesn't do well when it comes developing young players, 1134 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,360 Speaker 2: but he said the lack of development could lead to 1135 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,720 Speaker 2: Kamingo wanting out this offseason. I think they lost Kaminga. 1136 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,360 Speaker 2: I think Steve Kerr ruined that relationship this year with 1137 00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 2: the DMPs. We've seen this happen time and time again 1138 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 2: when it comes to him and dealing with young talent. 1139 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 2: He just doesn't handle young talent well. He doesn't develop. 1140 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 2: Out of out of the years he's been there, we've 1141 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 2: only seen one guy developed under Steve Kerr and they 1142 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 2: ran him off. 1143 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 4: That was Jordan Poole. 1144 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 2: When it comes to young talent, I just don't think 1145 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,399 Speaker 2: he handles it. Well, oh, y'all gonna start with you, 1146 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 2: do you agree with what Boogie is saying? 1147 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 4: Little bit? 1148 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,800 Speaker 5: Obviously he was coming from a player of his caliber, 1149 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 5: you know, as good as big, as good as book. 1150 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 5: He is knowing the game and knowing the coaches and 1151 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 5: understanding the players that that he's had his hands and 1152 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 5: imprint on absolutely right. 1153 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 6: And there's a there's an example of one that we've. 1154 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 4: Talked about this year. 1155 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 6: Uh, over and over and over. 1156 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:46,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, kaminga. 1157 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes no sense, but he did. It makes 1158 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 6: no sense. 1159 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,439 Speaker 5: And then when Comingian does get the opportunity to play, 1160 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 5: look at the type of goddamn games he's having. 1161 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,280 Speaker 4: He balls out, He does, this is who you had. 1162 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,439 Speaker 6: On the bench for whatever reason it may have been. 1163 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 5: Come on man, unexplainable, unexplainable, Roy. 1164 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 4: You know, it makes me think. 1165 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 3: About the the There has to be you guys know, 1166 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 3: there has to be synergy within an organization, you know, 1167 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 3: and I know Mike Dunley he took over. Uh, we 1168 00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 3: played together. I was working when he was in the 1169 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 3: Indiana and you know, there there does seemed to be 1170 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 3: a synergy between like who he's paying and who he's 1171 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 3: bringing in and you know who the coach is playing. 1172 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 3: I think about Mike Malone in the situation with the 1173 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets. You know, Calvin Booth, I believe, was the 1174 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 3: gm or president and he was drafting certain players and 1175 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,879 Speaker 3: bringing them in and he wants them to develop them. 1176 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 3: But he, uh the coach, Malone was playing the older 1177 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 3: guys and the guys that he can rely on. So 1178 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 3: for me, and then in the organization ended up getting 1179 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 3: rid of both of them. So for me, there has 1180 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 3: to be a synergy there. And at some point, you know, 1181 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 3: once you know, I'm not sure if he at some 1182 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 3: point is he going to be the Golden State Warris 1183 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 3: coach for forever. Maybe there might be a timeline where 1184 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,680 Speaker 3: he may want us to be like, hey, you know what, 1185 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 3: maybe when Steph is done, I walk away and he's 1186 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 3: just gonna go with the players that he knows as well. 1187 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,920 Speaker 3: But if there's not a synergy between the front office 1188 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 3: and the players, if they're bringing if the front office 1189 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 3: is bringing in players that they need to develop and 1190 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 3: he's not playing, there's gonna be an issue there. And 1191 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 3: if you're not winning, it's going to exacerbate the issue. 1192 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 3: You know, the next year and the next summer that 1193 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 3: people are gonna be unhappy and you need to build 1194 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 3: for the future. Steph and those guys are getting older 1195 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 3: and older and older, and father Time is undefeated. 1196 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 2: But you know, the problem that they're having is roy 1197 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 2: and Ojo is that most teams, when you're trying to 1198 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,040 Speaker 2: compete for a title, you're not relying on young players. 1199 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 4: You going with your core guys. 1200 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 2: Now see you look at ok see you see okay, 1201 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 2: See they got rid of all the old guys that say, 1202 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 2: you know what, we're gonna take lumps right now, but 1203 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 2: we're gonna build this thing together. We're not Hey, we're 1204 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 2: under no illusion that we're gonna compete for a title. 1205 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 2: But when we compete for a title, we're gonna be 1206 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 2: able to compete for years and years to come because 1207 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 2: all these guys would have grown grown up together. You see, 1208 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 2: the problem is you got Steph, you have Clay, you 1209 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 2: had Dramond, you had Loom, you had veteran guys. Are 1210 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 2: Iggy before he retired, you had veteran guys. Man, I 1211 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 2: ain't got time for it for the young guys to 1212 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 2: be making a mistake ry because you know, a the 1213 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 2: one thing a coach, oh show you. You know this 1214 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 2: in football, coaches hate mistakes and rookies. Rookie is gonna 1215 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 2: make mistakes. That's just the way it works. And it 1216 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 2: seems like and you seem like Steve, Steve ain't got 1217 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 2: no problem putting no guy on the bench. He let 1218 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 2: me put Jason Tatum on the bench. So you know, 1219 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 2: he ain't got no damn probably putting coming on the bench. 1220 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 5: You gonna say what Listen now, I'm gonna say you 1221 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 5: talk about young teams, you know, and and allowing young 1222 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 5: team to do what they need to do. But those 1223 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 5: young teams, when you have a young team like okay, 1224 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 5: see you know as you used for example, yeah you 1225 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 5: can do that when you got a SGA lead. 1226 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1227 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 4: But I'm saying, but you see what they did, think 1228 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 4: about it. 1229 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 2: Oh, they trade for SGA, They draft Jalen Williams, They 1230 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 2: drafted a lot of these guys. Chant Holmer, they say, hey, 1231 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 2: they go out and get a couple of pieces to 1232 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 2: add veteran Isaiah Hartenstein. So now they go get lou 1233 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 2: Dor They said, oh, they go get a Caruso. Guys 1234 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 2: that have played, that know how to play, that plays 1235 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 2: their role. To see the thing is the problem that 1236 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 2: Kaminga has. Kaminga is one of them young guys like, bro, 1237 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,520 Speaker 2: I will try to go get thirty. Well, it's not offense. 1238 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 2: Steph is supposed to get thirty. You're supposed to get 1239 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 2: like ten fifteen. 1240 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 5: Hold on, So you think that might be one of 1241 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 5: the reasons why you got's. 1242 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 2: He said that it's hard to get a flow with 1243 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 2: you out there with Steph because the office is run 1244 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 2: for Steph. 1245 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 4: Yes, he's looking off stuff, he said, he's looking off Steph. 1246 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, step He's like, nah, Bro, he ain't no, no, no, no, 1247 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 2: I got this right here. 1248 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 4: You go on in the coner. 1249 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 6: So Comedia is one of those that needsess on the team. 1250 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 2: Yes, it's like pool and that said, oh yeah, and 1251 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 2: that's and that's okay, that's okay. Just understand that you're 1252 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 2: probably not gonna win as much. Jordan Poole like, Jordan like, yeah, 1253 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 2: it's nice to average twenty plus, but we're gonna be 1254 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 2: in a lottery every year. 1255 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1256 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,440 Speaker 2: So that's the sacrifice that you have to make. And 1257 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 2: a lot of times guys have to sacrifice their game. 1258 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 2: When you're playing with other historically great players, you kind 1259 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 2: of have to sacrifice they get. You know, ay, it's 1260 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 2: like pop, he get the big piece of chicken. So okay, 1261 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 2: you ain't get the breast, so show you get a drumstick, 1262 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 2: you get a wing. Okay, you get a short thigh. 1263 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 2: But uh and so that's that's the thing with Kaminga. 1264 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 2: I think and do I do. I think he's good enough, 1265 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 2: but if he wants to play there, he's gonna have 1266 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 2: to understand how to play within that system. 1267 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 6: That's crazy because. 1268 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 2: He needs the ball. See, it's not like KD. KD 1269 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 2: is a fisher. KD didn't need the ball. You're KD 1270 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 2: fifteen shoans. KD gonna get you twenty seven thirty because 1271 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 2: he's that efficient. Yeah, Clay is a catch and shoot shooter. 1272 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 2: Kamina needs the ball because he wants to drive. He 1273 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 2: wants to put the ball on the floor. He ain't 1274 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 2: trying to catch and shoot. That's not what he is. 1275 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 2: That's not his skill set. So it's gonna be interesting 1276 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 2: to see how this thing plays out. Roy, we're gonna 1277 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 2: get you out of here. 1278 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 4: On this one. 1279 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 2: You played with a young Nikola jokicen Denver. Did you 1280 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 2: know was there any indication when you saw him in practice? 1281 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 4: And you watched him when he was. 1282 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 2: On the court in the games, did you have any 1283 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 2: indication he was gonna be this? 1284 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say this real quick. My last year 1285 01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 3: the NBA, I was on three teams in one year. 1286 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 3: That's why I know my ass was done. And that 1287 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,479 Speaker 3: was only dever for like a month and a half, 1288 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 3: so I was like a sabbatical. But I can honestly 1289 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 3: tell you this that man, I did not see him 1290 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 3: lift a weight. I would see him in the locker 1291 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,120 Speaker 3: room and like, his build is not what you expect. 1292 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 3: And I did not think that he would like go 1293 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 3: on to be like a three time MVP and everything 1294 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 3: like that. To me, what he's done is incredible. Sometimes 1295 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 3: I do feel that, you know, towards the end of 1296 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 3: the series, you know, even as great as he is, 1297 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 3: he having the ball in his hands a little bit 1298 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 3: kind of like flows down the offense and not allows 1299 01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,520 Speaker 3: other people to get going. I think Jamal Murray could 1300 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 3: have gotten like ten plus more shots. But they've won 1301 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 3: a championship. They know what they're doing.
