I 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.680 would greatly greatly appreciate it. That appreciate that, Oh joll 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.919 Let's jump right into it. The Celtics beat the Cavs, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.800 go on the road, take back home court one O 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.880 six to ninety three. Big night for Jason Tatum. He 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.519 led the Celtics in points, thirty three, rebounds, thirteen assists, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.920 six got twenty eight points from his sidekick. Hard to 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.640 say he's a sidekick. Well, his co host Jaylen Brown 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.560 gave him twenty eight the Celtics. There have been three 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.520 Celtics with at least thirty points in twenty five games. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:38.080 Lad Bird, John Havlerchick, Jason Tatum. That's it. We understand 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.000 the storied history of the Boston Celtics. Three players in 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.760 the history of that franchise have had at least twenty 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:50.080 five thirty point playoff games lad Bird, John Havlerchick Jason Tatum, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.120 and boy do they need it because Jason Tatum has 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.680 not been playing well in these playoffs. He could ill 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.960 afford to have a situation where the Cavaliers Game two 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.440 go on the road so steal home court from the Celtics. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.520 But they needed this type of game from jt He 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.000 gave it to him thirty three points, thirteen rebound six 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.680 and says led the team in points, rebound, assists, and 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.640 they snatched back home court one O six ninety three, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.040 O Jo, what did you like? What did you like tonight? 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.039 From what you saw from themself? 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.760 I thought, I mean, I asked you before we talked 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.960 a few days ago. I mean, what were the chances 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.360 in the Cavs actually winning this series, and you and 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.800 Gil politely told me they don't really have a chance 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.560 as long as a selfish come out and played the 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.440 type of game they played the night. They need Jason 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.160 Tatum to play well. I'm waiting on Derek Right to 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.680 show up and do what he did the last series. Right, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.520 they had one of those shooting nights. Obviously, Drew Holliday 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.200 contributed to Night his first team fifteen five and five 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.799 playoff game, and that's cool. As long as Jalen Brown 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.320 and Jason Tatum show up, I think the Celtics have 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.560 a good chance at winning the East in general period, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.360 you know, And I mean, it was an exciting game 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:57.640 for me. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.440 It's what I would expected. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.360 Again, I hear a lot of people, a lot of 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.279 people get upset at me about me not having a 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.599 knowledge for the game of basketball. But I'm learning, and 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.680 I'm learning really well. You know, you can tell because 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.039 I'm talking fucking fast. When I'm talking fast, I know 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.600 what I'm talking about because I watched and they did 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.880 my homework, So I then did my homework to Night 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.240 and listen to sell some deal what they need to 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.880 do again, Dereck White. I need to see the Derek 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.560 White that I saw in the last series that was 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.520 a fishing from the field. I mean tonight he was 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.880 only four for thirteen, he only had twelve points. But 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.359 I need to see the guy shooting and being the fishing, 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.279 driving to putting the ball on the floor, driving to 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.599 the basket that I saw against that I saw against 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:35.400 in the last series. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.640 And that's pretty much it. I like the Calves again. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.839 When I look at the Calves, if Garlet is not on, 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.559 if Garlet is not playing well, I see the Calves 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.160 as the one headed muster led by Donovan. Yeah, and 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.760 he cannot, he cannot. He just cannot do it by hisself. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.880 It has to be a complete team effort. And what 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.440 I've learned about basketball is night in the night out, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.680 they're ups and down. Sometimes you cold, sometimes sometimes you 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.440 sometimes you warm. Sometimes you're on, sometimes you're off. So 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.960 I mean, it got to be a collective different from 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.560 the Caves if they're going to want to stay in 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.160 this series and make it at least a challenge. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.839 No, for the better part, Well, they got thirty three. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.680 We know they got sixty one from their dynamic duo 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.719 Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. But Holiday shifted in tonight. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.400 He was seven or ten from the floor, three or 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.000 four from the three point line. He had eight rebounds 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.760 and five assaists. Derek White, as you mentioned, he gave 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.200 him twelve points. But as long as one of those 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.440 other two, long as either Derek White a Holiday comes along, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.360 can give them somewhere eighteen to twenty. Because but they 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.600 really need Jason Tatum. They're not gonna win. They're not 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.520 gonna win with Jason Tatum unless he can produce at 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.120 a very high level. And that he's the call. He's 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.920 the he's the key that turns this thing. Yes, we 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.039 know Jaylen Brown. I look I like Jaylen Brown. I 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.599 think he's more athletic. He can get to the rim, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.320 he can finish. But j T man, he has it all. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.000 He got the mid range, you can shoot the three. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.880 He can finish with either hand. And you know a 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.559 lot of times the night he was taking the challenge. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.640 You know he's taking Donovan mentioned he's playing Garland. They 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.599 was doing a lot of it. We got they switch everything, 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.800 They switch everything, and that's why that's what makes them 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.120 so unique. You gotta all an all NBA defender. Holiday, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.880 you got an All NBA defender and Derrick White, Tatum 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.720 and and JB. They're bad athletic. They can switch. Al 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.080 Horford is a premier defender, so they like to switch everything. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.120 They don't like to trap anybody. They don't like to 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.440 blitz anybody. They feel they can take anybody one on 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.400 one and do a great job. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.280 Of neutralizing them. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.320 But as long as Tatum and Brown play like their 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.200 play and they can get Dereck White or or Holiday 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.640 to come along with them, they're gonna be just fine. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.080 I just don't I just don't think the Cavs have 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.280 enough offense, especially with Garland not playing as well as 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.600 he needs to play to go along with Donovan uh 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.160 because Spider gonna give you what he does. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.520 Spider is a playoff. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.800 He's a big time playoff guy, and he's gonna give 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.480 you great production. Garland can't give you feel team when 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.840 a guy he need to give you twenty five because 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.560 if one guy give you thirty three, because you see 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.760 what you got from the Peltics Big two, you got 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.400 sixty one, the other team gave you forty eight. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:10.760 The other Big two gave you forty eight. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.560 Now and listen not it all comes to fruition. Now 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.240 it makes sense to me when we talk about NBA players, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.280 And obviously I'm from the outside looking in. Now I'm 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.480 learning a little bit learning. I'm learning a little bit 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.200 more now that I'm somewhat submerg into it and learn 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.880 the ins and outs and the nuance of the game 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.680 of basketball. Now I see with the inconsistencies in the 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.360 playoffs where you can't rely on everybody some some teams 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.800 have a one headed monster, some have a two, sometimes 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.040 have a three. And even if you have a three 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.640 headed monster, the inconsistency from the top players ain't always 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.839 consistent as it should be. Now I see why certain 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.360 players always want to have a super team. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:47.880 You see. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.559 Now, if I know I get somebody that's that can 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.520 be efficient eighty nine ninety percent of the time, I 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.240 think my chances are better as opposed to playing with 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.000 role players that are off and on each and their 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:00.959 you never know what. 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:01.400 You're gonna get. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.920 Yeah, because role players normally play better at home than 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.840 on the road. And another thing. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.840 Is because matters in basketball too. Hell yeah, it matters. Wait, 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.839 I'm confused. Crowd noise doesn't effect you playing the game 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:15.480 of basketball. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.040 Are they just play better for whatever reason? Role players 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.760 play better at home than they do on the role Also, also, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.800 you cut your bench, where in the regular season you 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.400 might play nine to ten. Now you're gonna play eight. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.600 Now you're gonna play seven, and so now you really 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.120 need those guys to play because you're not gonna get 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.200 the Now you're not gonna have the depth on the 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.280 bench that you normally would have. So now you really 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.000 need your players to play well. And guys that come 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.679 in off the bench, you need them to play their 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.160 role and do what they normally do in the regular season. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.800 So the length of time when so the length of 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.960 time they play when the playoffs comes, it increases. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.319 No, the bitch, you cut your bench, so you might 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.520 play ten guys in the regular season, you're gonna cut 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:57.520 that down to seven and eight. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.280 That's infusing me. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.760 So you got okay, you start five and so you 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.160 might have a ten man rotation. Once the playoffs start, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.360 you're gonna cut that down to eight, maybe even seven, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.640 because your guys are gonna play more minutes. You're gonna 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.880 see guys playing in the forties forty two, forty four, 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.600 you see a Josh Hart play three four games where 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.680 he plays all forty forty eight minutes. So the guys 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.160 that you normally like your bitch, normally ten d yes, 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.559 they're not gonna get those minutes because your star playoffs 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.600 are gonna play more minutes. And the two or three 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.800 guys that you play coming off the bench, they're gonna 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.400 be in the high twenties, maybe even thirties. So now 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.640 because of that, I really need to get the production 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.280 from the guys that I'm counting on. And when the 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.400 guys come off the bench, I really need you to 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.600 carry your local because look, you can only play your 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.280 guys forty eight minutes so many, so many games before 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.360 you wear them down. And if it's a long series, 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.560 the last thing you want is to get into a 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.760 long series. And your guys have played forty four forty 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.600 five forty six minutes the first five game games and 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.360 all of a sudden you got to go a seven 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.920 game series and you're asking them to play because the 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.560 games are starting to go back to back every now 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:12.079 you're playing every other day. I like it, but give 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.360 the Celtics credit. They showed, they showed, they showed you 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.520 why they're the number one seed in the East. They 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.200 showed you why they won sixty four ball games because 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.120 there was a game like this. They got demolished at home. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.160 But I think the Calves the only chance they have 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.160 ojo is that they're gonna have to shoot them out 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.040 the gym from the three. You see the difference in 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.040 the ball game from the three. The other night they 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.560 made eighteen nineteen threes. Tonight they only made twelve. The 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.280 Celtics made thirteen. The other night they was nine of 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.480 like thirty some excuse me, sorry. So even if they 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.160 don't hit their twenty, as long as they make more 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.760 threes than the other team, because they're gonna get them 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.240 up now. Because that's everything is predicated on the three 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.000 ball for the Celtics. They're gonna drive in kid, They're 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.719 gonna you know, they're looking to do anything getting to 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.160 the lane and kick. Occasionally, you know, JT will pull 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.120 up over the top, a be a pullerfold the top. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.640 But they're looking because they guys have spread out. Al 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.240 Horfer's behind the three line, Derek White behind the three line, 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.520 Holiday Pritchard. Howser came in and made some big shots 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.400 for him coming in off the bench, and that's what 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.160 you need. But unless the Calves could replicate what they 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.520 did in Game two, all of what the Heat did 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.120 in Game two on the road, unless they could replicate that, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.080 I really don't see them having enough firepower to overtake 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.079 the Seion ain't. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:29.480 Gonna have it. You ain't gonna have them. The MAVs 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.959 won their second game in a row, take over home. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.400 I wave hey, Pj' go aheadt you finish. I'm gonna 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.679 let you finish. Let me go first, though, let me 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:37.760 go first, Okay. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.280 The mav won their second straight game on the road 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.120 and run the second straight game in a row over 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.840 the Thunder to take a two one series lead. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:44.400 PJ. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.920 Washington continued is dominant playing scoring, scoring a game a 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.720 team high twenty seven points on eleven of twenty three 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.280 shooting with five May threes. Luca and Kyrie both had 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.680 twenty two points. Kyrie dissed dished out seven as sis, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.400 and Luca grabbed fifteen rebounds. Kyrie this postseason, in the 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.120 first half, he's only scoring six point three a game, 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.200 but in the second half he looks he looks like Kyrie. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.400 On a fifty to fifty split, He's shooting fifty seven 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.079 percent from the floor fifty four percent from the three. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.120 And we saw he did what he did against the 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.640 Nuggets with that left hand. He put the ball on 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.000 the floor. He dipsy dude, split the split, split the 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.480 scene between two defenders, got the ball up with the 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.480 left hand, and for all intents and purposes, end of 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.760 the game. But the MAVs win. They take a two 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.640 to one series lead. We know the last game they 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.000 took home court away from OKC by winning on the 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:33.720 road game too. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.280 They win Game three, take a two to one series lead. 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.200 Take off. Hey PJ. 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.800 Washington, Hey PJ, I know you're gonna see this. 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.320 I know you're gonna see this. Boy. You're the real deal. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.600 Boy, You're the real deal. But in back to back 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.400 games twenty five plus points. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.719 Huh yeah, if Luca. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.120 Dohnson has an off night, if Kyrie has an off 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.400 night and they're not shooting well, Kyrie likes to turn 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:58.280 it on when he wants to. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.880 He can pick and choose he wants to turn on. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.040 Sometimes he'll facilitate in the first half and then times 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.839 he'll take over when he needs to take over in 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.120 the fourth or third quarter. Well, if PJ. Washington could 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:16.080 stay in this rhythm of consistency and confidence. Man, Math, Math, Math, 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.160 Ma's got a good chance. Man, Ma's got a good chance. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.160 What I do need, what I do need, and I 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.200 mean I mean no disrespect, no disrespect by this. Daniel Gafford, 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.120 Derek Jones Jr. You got to give me something, baby, 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.080 you gotta you gotta give me something. I ain't ask 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.720 so much. I just learned, just told me and taught 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.800 me about how when you get to the playoffs, they 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.280 cut down. So if they if a math then cut down, 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.360 the seven are cut down eight, that mean y'all got 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.920 to be on that court. You got to contribute. You 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.120 got to give me something. I ain't ask for much, 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.119 but just give me something. I'm learning the game of basketball, 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.920 so I'm watching you, so I need you to give 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.560 me something. So I have something that's to talk about 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.480 outside of PJ. Washington and God damn Kyrie and Luke. 0:14:59.120 --> 0:14:59.400 Come on. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:05.040 Now, what's what's great about this is that Luca was 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.760 seven or seventeen, but PJ is picking up the slack. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.320 Kyrie is trying to look the thing that I can 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.320 say about Kyrie, Kyrie is taking the challenge defensive back. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.560 If you notice he's Garden Shade, He's garden Jalen Williams 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:23.239 to their best two offensive weapons. He's taking on that assignment. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.480 He's like, Okay, Luca, do your thing. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.440 Now. He sees in the fourth quarter, I need to 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.040 turn it on. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.960 You look at him first, the first six, the first 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.200 three four buckets they go to. They get the ball 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.040 to Kyrie, and Kyrie go make it happen. Okay, Now 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:39.080 he's in a river. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.240 PJ. Washington never lost this river. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.320 So now as Kyrie breaking the defense down, he can 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.000 kick the PJ in the corner, bang short port. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.280 And so if you look at look at what they're doing. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:52.360 Look at PJ. Washington. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.400 He played forty minutes. Dereck Jones Jr. He played thirty 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.920 six minutes. Kyrie played forty one minutes. Luca played forty minutes. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:05.320 You see now, even Daniel Gaffert played twenty minutes. Lively 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:10.640 played twenty seven minutes. Lively would play even more. But 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.280 they started the hacker shot the hacker Lively because late 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.280 and the ball game to say, you know what, we're 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.280 not stopping y'all from getting good shots. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:19.680 Let's just file him. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.640 We'll roll the dice because we don't believe he's gonna 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.200 make both, though, so we'll roll the dice. We think 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.680 there's a greater chance he'll make one or miss both, 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.440 as opposed to make him both. So even if he 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.920 makes one, that's only one point. We come down. We 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.120 can slash it into it like that. So they had 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.680 to get him off the court to bring Gaffred back in. 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.840 But he gives you so much defensively. He's a big 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.920 body presence. He's gonna challenge everything at the rim. He's 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.440 great at lite. You know when Kyrie and Luca breaks 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.400 the defense down, get into the lane, he's great at 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.200 He's great at finishing above the rim. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.280 But they'll stop. They're stopping the game because they hack him. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.560 He go to the line and there's no clock moving right, 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.120 So he's gonna have to get better. So that's gonna 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.440 be after something that he has to work on, put 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.800 some extra time in. But if you look at them, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.040 they they played eight guys. Dante ExHAM, who's one of 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.040 their key contributors, he only played six minutes. Josh Green 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.520 played fifteen minutes. Like I said, Lively played twenty seven minutes. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.320 Even Harder Way only played sixteen minutes. When the other 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.440 night he played like twenty four to twenty eight minutes. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.600 How do they pick and choose when they want a 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.440 player to play more minutes? As far as Hardaway only 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.399 played sixteen to night but played twenty five something the 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.920 last game, who makes that decision? 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.640 The coach hot hot man, stay in, the hot man, 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.040 stay out? Say okay, okay, okay. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.959 So if somebody, somebody the coach. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:43.879 I gotta get I gotta get you, Gotta get him 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.280 out of there, gotta get him out of there. Hey, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.440 you see you see the you see game two? Yeah, 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:49.720 Hardway got it going. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.320 No hold online now I know, and I've never seen 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.320 I asked. I asked it before. If you don't want 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.560 to come out the game and coach tell you about 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.040 what happens if you refuse to come out the game, it. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.960 All appears to who it is you like if you 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.439 if I don't know if anybody noticed this, but Luca. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.560 He motioned for gafferd and PJ. Washington to come back 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.600 in the game, even before Jason Kids some him. He 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.120 looked at him and he motioned like get hey, get 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:17.880 to the score table. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.080 Oh yeah. The big guys like, hey, are you tired? Nah? Man, 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.439 I'm good. Hey, get to the stable. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.680 Lebron them have that kind Lebron has that kind of catch, 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.400 Luca has that count Steph Curry has that kind of Catchay, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.560 those are the big name guys that do a lot 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.360 of the ball handling. Like, Hey, nah, I need y'all 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:35.840 come on listen. 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:37.360 I'm thinking about it. I don't know why. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.200 It just hit me when you were talking about by 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.119 Hardaway not playing as many minutes as he did the 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.919 last time. Remember how I told you in the preseason games, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.520 now it's just the season, how he used to make 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.320
