00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: All right, instant reaction, The Dynasty is officially over in

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: lands with a thud as the Warriors get smoked. I

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: thought they'd play a really competitive game. You know, they

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: rested a lot of their key players for this game

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: against Sacramento. But Sacramento last year, a lot of people

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: thought they would beat the Warriors. The Warriors had you know,

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 1: seven games one last hurrah. But you saw Wiggins tonight.

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: It's just not the same player. Clay as I'm talking

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: right now, zero for ten. He had a very good April.

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: He was a big part of why the Warriors had

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: a very good April and made a mad dash a

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: lot of road wins to get back into this thing.

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Draymond and Clay were both excellent, But I think it's

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: this is the way dynasties need to end. I mean,

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: I can remember vividly it's Brady's gonna stay in New England?

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Is he gonna leave? And his last season there, they

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: took a shot during a loss and he's on the

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: bench and he's screaming years of frustration after losing. Randy

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: moss Edelman and Gronk are aging they just can't draft

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: and develop the next receiver. And he's screaming on the bench,

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: which would any of you guys just get open? Could

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: somebody just get open? Well, of course they couldn't, and

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: that Patriots still don't have a wide receiver they can

50
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: get open, you know. So it's possession receivers, it's limited players,

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: and that's the way it ends. And then Brady knows, Okay,

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and get Mike Evans and Chris Godwin,

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: bring Gronk down, get ab, bring in Leonard Fernet. You know,

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I got an offensive coach, Bruce Arians and life's just easier.

55
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: And if you look at the Dubs right now, last

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: year they had that one series against Sacramento, you feel

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: good about it? What could have been? We got banged up.

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: But you know, Wiggins has not been the same player

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: since the championship year over Boston. He hasn't been the

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: same player. Some personal stuff. I've read multiple things. I

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I don't care. He's not

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: the same player. Clay had a very very good late

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: March in April for the Warriors. He's not the same player, so,

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think you just have to

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: disconnect from what was a great ten twelve year run.

66
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: It's over, and so I think you keep Steph Curry,

67
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you keep Draymond Green, you keep Pods, and if you

68
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: have to move a lot of your length, I don't care.

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: If it's kaminga Looney Davis to get a legitimate big,

70
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: you do what you gotta do. I'm not sure if

71
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns is the right guy. I think Minnesota

72
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: is going to struggle in there series against Phoenix. They

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: move off Karl Anthony Towns, potentially they won't move off Cobert,

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: and maybe that's the guy. Maybe in two years it's Giannis,

75
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: but I think it's over. You know, tonight was just

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Sacramento getting really good looks. I mean, they were hitting

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: their free throws hitting their threes. They were getting really

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: really good looks, and you know, I think for the

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: last two years we sort of felt like step has

80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: to carry the team. And he is still a brilliant

81
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: basketball player. But when players get into their mid thirties

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: and up, I mean, even Lebron now is remarkable in

83
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: big games. But you're not going to get seventy two

84
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: games from these guys and back to back games of greatness.

85
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: So it ends the way you'd think it ends, with

86
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: kind of an ugly loss and the Warriors looking a

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: little small, a little old, and a little out of

88
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: their element. You know, I've always thought Sacramento is a

89
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: poor man's boss. Then if you took the Celtics and

90
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: every player was just not quite as good, but you

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: had four good players, that would be the Kings. You know,

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: instead of Tatum and Brown and Porzingish and Drew Holliday,

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: you've got Harrison Barnes and Dearon Fox and Simonas and

94
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: Keegan Murray, and they're good players. Fox is really good.

95
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: But I just feel like, you know, Boston hasn't won

96
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: a title yet, and I think they have four better starters.

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Sacramento is a good team, and a tougher conference, but

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't see them. I haven't ever seen them as

99
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: a team that's going to win multiple series. I think

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Denver's better, Phoenix is more talented. I think Dallas is

101
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: absolutely on fire. I think the Lakers would beat them

102
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: up physically, and so I wish Light the Beam the

103
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: very best. But this tonight was about Klay Thompson's final game.

104
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine as a Golden State Warrior. I think

105
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr would love to have him around. I think

106
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: they ran it felt like they ran half their offense

107
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: through him in April to get him as many looks

108
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: as they could. But whoever the Warriors get, they got

109
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: to get somebody that's on Steph's timeline. Kamingo is about

110
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: two years away from that. Davis maybe three years away,

111
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: but they've got to get somebody that's on Steph's timeline.

112
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: I think they go move a lot of their length,

113
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: get a legitimate, big time star. Maybe a third team

114
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: gets involved, but that's where we stand in terms of

115
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: the Lakers. So the Lakers, as we said, I thought

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: they'd win by about six seven points. They match up

117
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: really good with the Pelicans. Now they had a horrific

118
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: moment in the third. They didn't start very well. They

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: had a great second quarter. We're doing well, then in

120
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the third and the fourth kind of fell apart, unraveled.

121
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: But I think my takeaway on this is is this

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: is where, this is where Lebron is like no other

123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: player ever. From my friend Nick Wright, Lebron James has

124
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: won nine straight do or die games, either a playing

125
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: game or a game seven if you count the d

126
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: season tournament, it's like he's won twelve straight or thirteen straight.

127
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: I said very early in the season because of the

128
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Lakers eight and their primary playmakers, Lebron, who's very old,

129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: that if it was the NCAA tournament, I think the

130
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Lakers we get to the championship game and then lose

131
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: to Denver or a Boston, but in a one game setting.

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: This is why the NBA seven game first round series

133
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It punishes aging legends, which are always the

134
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: ratings drivers for the NBA. I mean, the reason Caitlin Clark,

135
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the reasons she got numbers. This was a rematch.

136
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: She went into the tournament. We knew the story. They

137
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: lost last year. Here they come back. They face South Carolina.

138
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: You mean ninety percent of Hollywood money is remax, right,

139
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: So it's these aging stars, these steps and these Lebron's

140
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Durantz. They drive the ratings in the NBA. So

141
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: why punish them with seven game first round series with

142
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: no urgency? So the Lakers in the in season tournament

143
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: won in their playing games with Lebron. They're three to

144
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: nine playing games with Lebron, and they've won again nine

145
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: straight do or die games with Lebron. And the Lakers

146
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: did what they do. They got to the free throw

147
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: line a lot, and they hit their free throws. By

148
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: the way Sacramento hit their free throws. Lakers hit their

149
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: free throws. And you're watching in these games, these playoff games.

150
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Is the n NBA pretty clearly tweaked. And I don't

151
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: mind him doing this at all. During the regular season,

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: the NBA said, hey, let's let him play. Let's speed

153
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the pace of playoff, fewer whistles. That is a huge

154
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: benefit to veteran teams. That does not benefit OKC, that

155
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: will not benefit young teams. That will benefit the older teams.

156
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: Miami in the East will probably benefit from that. Boston's

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: been around, will benefit the Lakers will benefit Okac won't.

158
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: So I thought the Lakers they're a very good matchup

159
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: with the Pelicans. I thought Zion Williamson played the best

160
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: game I've ever seen him play as a pro in

161
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: a big game. This is a big game. He had

162
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: forty points, just walked off the floor injury. I guess frustrated. Absolutely,

163
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea what happened. But we've been waiting

164
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: for Zion between the weight issues and the injuries, and

165
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: that was the book on him when he came into

166
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: the NBA. He had so much torque. He had wait issues.

167
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: New Orleans not a great city if you got weight issues.

168
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: It's a late night city with amazing food, and so

169
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: he struggled with that. But todight it's a great example

170
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: of what Zion can do. He's a weight mismatch and

171
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: a power mismatch oftentimes. And if you you know, if

172
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: he gets a mismatch, you blow a defensive assignment. He

173
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: gets on a smaller guy, or he's coming downhill dribbling

174
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: into the lane, it's over. Lebron Is six eight and

175
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: a half six ' nine two fifty five took a

176
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: charge from Zion and crumpled like a deck chair. Lebron

177
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: just crashed into the floor. It's like Adrian Peterson running

178
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: over a small corner in his prime. And so I

179
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: thought Zion was fantastic. He was aggressive. He's never been

180
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: a great outside shooter, but he didn't have to be.

181
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: You know. I think when you get to the playoffs

182
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: three ball, it can be valuable. I mean, the Warriors

183
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: didn't hit theirs tonight, the Kings did. I think it

184
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: can be valuable. But I think you get into situational

185
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: basketball and you got to lean into your straints. And

186
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Davis is going to take most of

187
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: his sh shots and make most of them within eight

188
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: feet of the basket. I'm okay with that. And Zion

189
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Williamson is going to bang around on the inside, not

190
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: shoot much from the outside, and create you know, physical mismatches.

191
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: I thought he was fantastic. That's as good as I've

192
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: seen him play in a big game, and he hasn't

193
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: been in a lot of big games. But the Lakers

194
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: are a better team they have. They have gotten big

195
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: leads every time they've played the Pelicans this year. This

196
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: one they held on for dear life. D'Angelo Russell played

197
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: well and we've talked about that. Since the benching. He's

198
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: been a good basketball player. Sometimes he almost You know,

199
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: when I watched the Lakers tonight, there was a I

200
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: forget what quarter was, second or third they pulled I

201
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: think it was right before half they pulled Lebron out,

202
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, what's happening, Darvin? Get

203
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: him back in there. But how much can you play Lebron?

204
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: So he is so far and away their best playmaker.

205
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves attempts it, but he's just got the same athlete.

206
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: But you know, you kind of cross your fingers if

207
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: you're the Lakers. They get real sloppy. They unrevel very

208
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: quickly sometimes when Lebron takes his brief respite, and they

209
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: certainly did tonight. He came back in, couldn't stop the

210
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: bleeding of the moment, but they hold on and win.

211
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: So the Lakers. I think the Lakers match up pretty

212
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: well with the Nuggets in terms of size. The difference

213
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: is the fourth best player on any given night for

214
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets is Michael Porter, who is a high

215
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: school prodigy who can absolutely knock down twenty eight points

216
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: on any given night. Now he has championship experience, and

217
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a real thing. I think once you

218
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: win the championship. Every time I watched Denver in a

219
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: big TV game and it was close, they just found

220
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: ways to win. And I saw about a week ago

221
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: they played the t Wolves close game, just found a

222
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: way to win. So it's that confidence of a championship team.

223
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: I think they have the best starting five along with

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: Boston in the NBA. And there are players on the

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Lakers that can disappear at times. I think Ruey's talented,

226
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: he can disappear. Anthony Davis can be hot and cold

227
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: offensively Lebron depending on if his three point shot is effective.

228
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: D Lo as a playoff performer has been at times

229
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: awful last year, at times semi effective. I kind of

230
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm getting with Denver with the Lakers. It's

231
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of finger crossing with DeAngelo Russell and Anthony Davis.

232
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: Two out of three playoff games will give you a

233
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: really nice offensive effort. But he can manage at times too.

234
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: So I just I don't see the Lakers beating Denver

235
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: four times. I think they'll beat him in a game,

236
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: maybe they beat him twice. They can physically match up.

237
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: But you know, Jokich does not have a lot of

238
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: off nights and Jamal Murray doesn't have a lot of

239
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: off nights, and Gordon brings that defense virtually every game.

240
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: Michael Porter can be a bit hot and cold, but

241
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, Denver's a champion for a reason. And my

242
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: guess is they'll probably beat the Lakers in five, perhaps six,

243
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: but you'll feel late in these games, that's where you'll

244
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: see the difference where Yokich is younger than the on

245
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: and Jamal Murray offensively is more consistent than Anthony Davis,

246
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: and ad gives Jokic about as much trouble as you

247
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: can possibly give him, and he still gets thirty points.

248
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: So I just feel the consistency the championship experience. Denver

249
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: is going to be an even tougher out this year,

250
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: and I imagine they extinguish the Lakers in about five

251
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: or six. The games will be close. The Lakers do

252
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: match up with them once again. With Lebron win a

253
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: playing game, the Warrior season is over, and it's again

254
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I think it's over that it should be over. No debate,

255
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: make some moves, move off. Wiggins probably plays last kick

256
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: it's okay. All good things coming on end, trees don't

257
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: grow to the sky. It's fine. We're all going to

258
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: be okay, even in the Bay Area.

259
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: Volume.
