S. 88 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: Could I just tell y'all I knew. I knew when 89 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: they was in this this series. When this series turned 90 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: into a dog fight, I said to myself, ain't no 91 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: way Golden State gonna win. Dramond exposed that there was 92 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: some some some soft dudes when he jacked the boy 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: pulling in the face, rocked him in the face early 94 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: on in the season, and nothing happened out of it. See, 95 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: they wasn't ready to be in a dog fight. That's 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: the problem here that took place with this series with 97 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: Golden State. They was too soft. They were soft in 98 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: this series. 99 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: Man, So they just didn't on two than that, he's 100 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: talking about Draymond Sock and Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole just 101 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: didn't show up for this series. 102 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he wasn't ready for that fight. 103 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't ready for the shooting the ball really bad. 104 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: He really didn't contribute in the in the ways and 105 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: the form that you think he would has been playing 106 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: over the past previous years in the playoffs and just 107 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: uh stuff can't do it by itself. And that's what 108 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: it came down to. He needed one of those you know, 109 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: forty to fifty point nights, and he wasn't doing well. Yeah, 110 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: he just I think he just kind of ran out 111 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: of gas. But listen, I was saying that the Lakers 112 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't beat Memphis go to the second round. There's no 113 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: way they're beating the Golden State wars And I think 114 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: that the Golden State Warriors lost this series. In Game one, 115 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: I said, oh my goodness, the Lakers, if they get 116 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: two wins at home, then they're going to win this series, 117 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: and that's kind of way that it is shaped up. 118 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: And here we are in this series, we're talking about 119 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: two guys that weeks we thought that we wouldn't even 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: be speaking about is an undrafted Austin Reeves and Hatchie Moore. 121 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: That the way they played in this series, Man, I 122 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: think really surprised me that the NBA the Golden State Warriors, 123 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: because they those are the two guys that I would 124 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: say from the Lakers that kind of put them over 125 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: the top. And they were just consistent off series Man, 126 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty points a night from those guys, and 127 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: it was just something that that you didn't see coming 128 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: from from the Lakers. 129 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: You know, falling Man. 130 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 5: When you look at the series, the Warriors in their 131 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 5: championship run, they never really had to play tough brand 132 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 5: of basketball. They've always because they're so good shooting the ball, 133 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 5: their defense has always gotten overlooked. They've always been a 134 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 5: really good defensive team, lad by Draymond. 135 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: But what happened was. 136 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 5: When the season starts and you punch pool the way 137 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 5: Draymond did, it started to show that as a team 138 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 5: they weren't as tight knit as you need it to be. Okay, 139 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 5: you try to move forward from that, which they did, 140 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 5: but you can never really move forward from that. 141 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: And you take it to the basketball court. 142 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 5: The Lakers attack Steph they put him in a pick 143 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 5: and roll in Ton, he wasn't as efficient as he 144 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 5: normally is. He scored a lot of points, but he 145 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 5: wasn't super efficient. Klay Thompson went was three for nineteen 146 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: last night, three for nineteen. Klay Thompson three for nineteen. 147 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 5: You can't win when your second best player is three 148 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: for nineteen. You're not gonna win. And you point out 149 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 5: Pool he didn't show up. Wiggins, he didn't show up. 150 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: And the problem with Golden State, this is the problem. 151 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 5: How does Jamichael Green start a game and have two 152 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 5: dnps the last two games? How do you start a 153 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 5: game in the series and have two d nps thereafter? 154 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 5: Like as a player, I'm sure that's frustrating for Jordan Poole. 155 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 5: I'm not going to defend him, but I'm somewhat going 156 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: to defend him in the essence of you're playing the 157 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 5: time Wiggins is gone, you're getting a lot of playing time. 158 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 5: Gary Payton isn't on the team yet, and when he 159 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 5: comes he's hurt, and now Wiggins comes back, the playoffs start, 160 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 5: your playing time is in question. You're not playing as 161 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 5: many minutes. So now when you get the ball or 162 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 5: when you're on the court, you feel like I got 163 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 5: a jack up a shot because I don't know how 164 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 5: much of a play I gotta get mines. Because he 165 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 5: knew his playing time was going to be sparingly, and 166 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 5: so that played a part in the way he played 167 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 5: because I think he felt like he had to be 168 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 5: perfect every time he was on the court, and that. 169 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: They were sloppy with the ball. They were turning the 170 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: ball over there. 171 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 5: All year and they'd able to get away with it. 172 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: They had done it all year. If you look at 173 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 5: the Lakers, Citizens run through that defense. To look at 174 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 5: the Lakers, they were Look look. 175 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: What Darvin ham has done. This is he is. 176 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 5: I don't know how much ham lebron And I'm explaining 177 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 5: to you, Darvin hamm and you're gonna change what you 178 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 5: just said. 179 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: No, I'm not. 180 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: All season, all season, Brown played a significant amount of 181 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 5: minutes for US A. Ton He was barely playing. Malik 182 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 5: Beasley was getting good minutes. He really didn't play at all. 183 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 5: Loonie Walker hadn't played. You get in in garbage time. 184 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 5: He was making shots. Darvin Ham said, let me get 185 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 5: this guy a chance. He wins Game four for us. 186 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 5: For US, Hochi Mura started playing really well in the 187 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 5: Mythic series and it carried over into this series. How 188 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 5: many coaches do you know will change their rotation in 189 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 5: the playoffs like this and start just giving God's big 190 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 5: minutes that had getting big minutes coaching. 191 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I will say this, I will say this dark Darvin 192 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: Ham made some adjustments, but I'm gonna go back to 193 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: what you said about Michael Green to Michael Green starts 194 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: Game two in the space of Kevon Looney. He's goes, 195 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: He's goes. I think I believe. He scores twenty points 196 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: and it called played well. It caused some matchup issues 197 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: for the Lakers as far as spacing because it bought 198 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis out of the paint. Yes, and the Lakers. 199 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: The Lakers did not know how to adjust to that. 200 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Fast forward to Game three. They go away from it, 201 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: they go away from it, and he does not. That's 202 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: like I said, he he has two d nps and 203 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: he starts game two and he plays well, and Steve 204 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: Kurr didn't recognize and realize what that that adjustment that 205 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: the Lakers were failing to make, and he went back 206 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: to the kavon Looney and they ran into the same 207 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: issues with the two bigs with with Looney and Dramond Green. 208 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: And I just don't understand why he would not go 209 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: back to that at some points in this series fifteen. 210 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 5: But when you're a player, we know this from playing 211 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 5: when you don't know when, how like when you don't 212 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 5: know where your minutes. 213 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: Are coming from. 214 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 5: If that's hard, like Darbenham, Brown was not playing. He 215 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 5: did not touch the floor when it mattered. And there's 216 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 5: not many coaches that do that in the NBA. The 217 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: series we're gonna talk about later on the Phoenix Sun series, 218 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 5: he wasn't doing that. Money Williams wasn't doing that. 219 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 3: Y'all. 220 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 5: Y'all picked the Suns to win that series. Maybe I 221 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 5: can't wait to get I can't wait to talk about that. 222 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 5: I cannot wait to talk about that. But you got 223 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 5: to give Darbenham credit. You see lebron A d won 224 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 5: this series. He's single handedly for Steve Kerr to change 225 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: his stard lineup every day. That was Anthony Davis, I 226 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 5: wouldn't the way Steve Kerr was changing. 227 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't give you at all. Listen, we have seen 228 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: Lebron James lead basketball teams go on to do things 229 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: that we did not think they were able to do. 230 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: I thought they would do this. 231 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 5: I thought, well, of course you did, because you said 232 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 5: the Lakers. 233 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: You say, we already what you was thinking. But when 234 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: he wanted when he went back to Cleveland and was 235 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: able to win that championship in Cleveland with j R. 236 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: Smith and Tristan Thomas and those guys, nobody thought that 237 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavalcils will be able to go be able 238 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: to compete for a championship. But it's Lebron led basketball team. 239 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: Now fast forward to the Western Commerce Finals. I can't 240 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: say that the different Knuckers are going to win this 241 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: series because the Lakers have showed me that they are 242 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: very dangerous basketball team. And I did not think that. 243 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: I will saying that the way that they was playing 244 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: during the season and getting into the playoffs, and you 245 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: just got to take their hat to the man and say, listen, man, 246 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: the man's the hell of a player and he gets 247 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: the best out of the guys that are on the 248 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: floor with him. It doesn't matter who they y'all, they 249 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: play at a supreme confidence when when they're on the 250 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: floor with him and he feeds them, he gives them 251 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: the basketball and gives them opportunity to build confidence, and 252 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: that's dangerous. D'Angelo Russell has had big games. 253 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 5: Lonnie Walker has had big games, like Jimira has had 254 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 5: big games. Like think about that, and when you look 255 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: at our opponents, the Memphis Gritties in the first round, 256 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 5: the Golden State Wars in the second round, their role 257 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 5: players did not have those type of games that were 258 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 5: speaking of. It was either Jah Desmond bang Jaron Jackson. 259 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 5: It was either Steph or Clay. When you look at 260 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 5: the Lakers, the role players have had pivotal parts in 261 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 5: games that have been won to where where you're talking 262 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 5: about he instills his confidence in these guys and they 263 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 5: felt like, I don't want to let them. It's something 264 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 5: he's doing the way he's leading them to able to 265 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 5: play so free that we see these type of games. 266 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 3: But we hear, baby, I told you this. I'm gonna 267 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 3: say this, but it's gonna be a problem for heading 268 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: into a fist fighter. That's gonna be a problem for us. 269 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: I'm just telling it ain't just Jokich either. They're big, 270 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 3: they're physical, and they're nasty too. Denver. I've been impressed 271 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: by Denver that they like they They stepped up and 272 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: they knocked the. 273 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: Man. 274 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: They knocked the fight out of them boys. They're not 275 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: a fight out of Arizona. 276 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: When this whole playoffs started, I did pick the Denver 277 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: Nuggets in the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, 278 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: but that didn't happen. So I'm still going with the 279 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets to win the Western Conference Finals and get 280 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: to the World Championship. 281 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 5: You're still picking Yard, you know who I'm going with. 282 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm just looking. I'm just looking at the rosters on 283 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: both sides, and I'm saying to myself that the Denver 284 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: Knuckers have the better basketball the better basketball team. Does 285 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: that mean they're gonna win the series? It does not. 286 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: But on paper roster, the roster they have the better 287 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: basketball team. 288 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 5: Ain't gonna happen. Boss, is not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. 289 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 5: We will be taking a break and when we come back, 290 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 5: we will discuss we won.

But it's kind of you know, 341 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: his eye opening because I'm saying to myself, a guy 342 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady to what he has brought to the 343 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: New England Patriots over the last twenty years, six world championships, 344 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: that Robert Kraft and that and that ownership will be 345 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: the first to extend their hand and ask him and 346 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: ask him would he like to be an owner? And 347 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: some say, you know or fashion, but obviously that that 348 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: hasn't happened. And I look back at Tom Brady and 349 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, contractually, this man has taken pay cut after 350 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: pay cut after pay cut to keep guys on that 351 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: roster in New England and has built that that organization 352 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: up to know, winning championships with got us that that 353 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: were drafted fourth, fifth, sixth round undrafted, and to keep 354 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: guys on the team, he took pay cuts. Uh that 355 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: that nobody was really you know, talking about, but that 356 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why they were able to 357 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: keep that nucleus of guys together because of him, and 358 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: they were restructuring his deals and you know, guys were 359 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: able to stay on the team. But it's not the 360 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: first time that we've seen players take ownerships in you know, 361 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: different teams. Or you look at d Wade. Now he's 362 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: a minority owner for the Utah Jazz. And you have 363 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: Mickey Erison in the in the ownership for the mind me. 364 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: He say, hey, we didn't know that you wanted to 365 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: be an owner, and Dwayne Wade was like, well, you 366 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: guys didn't ask me either. So he went on to 367 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: be a minority owner for the Jazz. 368 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 369 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: You know, Steve Nash is a minority for the Vancouver 370 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: white Caps.

And now guys are getting into this ownership 374 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: role because but they are making a lot more money 375 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: than we were making when we were playing. 376 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 5: Man, I just hold somebody's listening that I want to 377 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 5: become a part on it. 378 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: Come take my little change, Come take some of my 379 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: little money.

I think it's been long overdue 392 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: where athletes are viewed as more than just you know, 393 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 3: shut up and dribble the ball or catch the ball 394 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 3: or make the tackle. You know, some of the most intelligent, 395 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: most brilliant people, you know, they come from from athletic backgrounds. 396 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 3: You know, from our presidents to you know CEOs of 397 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 3: the top you know, Fortune five hundred companies.

I know? I mean, you're gonna pay what we 534 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: say it will. 535 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 7: Be in the billion dollar range. 536 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 4: Speaking of franchise is worth in the billions, that's right. 537 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 4: Two of them were facing off in Game six of 538 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 4: the Western Conference semi finals on Friday night, and it 539 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 4: was the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated Golden State Warriors one 540 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 4: twenty two to oneh one Golden State's reign as NBA 541 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 4: champions is over, and after the game, their head coach, 542 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 4: Steve Kirk kept it real. 543 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 8: To be fair, this team probably, you know, ultimately maxed out. 544 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 8: That's probably where we should be. This is not a 545 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 8: championship team, you know. It's if we were, we'd. 546 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: Be moving on. 547 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 4: The Lakers are moving on from a two to ten 548 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 4: regular season start and a seven seed in the West 549 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 4: to the Western Conference Finals, where they will face Denver. 550 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 4: The Miami Heat headed to the Eastern Conference Finals thanks 551 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 4: to a ninety six ninety two win over the Knicks. 552 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 4: They take that series four as to two.

They advanced to the Eastern Conference 558 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: Finals for the first time since nineteen ninety six, when 559 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 4: Panther fans would celebrate goals by throwing rats onto the 560 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 4: ice at the Old Miami Arena. They were not actual rats. 561 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: They were just plastic toy rats by the way. On 562 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 4: Game five of the Western Conference semi Finals, the Vegas 563 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 4: Golden Knights defeated the Edmonton Oilers four to three. Speaking 564 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 4: of Vegas, they lead that series three games to two. 565 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 4: Now back to our billion dollar trio fellas. 566 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: Let's hope, let's hope. I know we shouldn't do this. 567 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 5: I didn't touch on this earlier, and I want to 568 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 5: touch on it real briefly. 569 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: Is this stand up a dynasty for Goden State? 570 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 3: It's a great question, I think is a great question. 571 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: I think I think when you lose all of the 572 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: issues that we were talking about, you know that that 573 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: kind of popped up at the beginning of the season, 574 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 3: and and and just having a conversation of what does 575 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 3: that look like in terms of them rioting for one another? 576 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 3: How close are they as a unit? I think that 577 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 3: you're the biggest The biggest question is going to be 578 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: is Clay signable? Are they going to be able to 579 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 3: bring Clay back? And and what do you do with Draymond? 580 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 3: Because you can sit there and say what you want about. 581 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: What would you do. 582 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 3: To me? I think they're closer to still being able 583 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 3: to win. I think they need another big man. I 584 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 3: think if they could find a big man that has 585 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 3: like a dominant presence about them, which is kind of 586 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 3: hard in today's NBA. But I think if you could 587 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 3: find a legit big man, I think I think you're 588 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 3: closer to still being able to win. I think Wiggins 589 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 3: will be better next year, you know. I think he 590 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 3: just went through some some ass like we all, you know, 591 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 3: who could prepare yourself for some of the stuff that 592 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,239 Speaker 3: you know that came out on that rule. 593 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 5: They can find a big man. They have assets to 594 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 5: where if that's what they want, they can get. They 595 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 5: have assets. Now you have Moody kaminga pool wigging, you 596 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 5: have some assets. You have picks, You have some assets 597 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 5: to where you can go get somebody if that's what 598 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 5: you want to do. 599 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that that's I think you're closer to 600 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: still being a championship team as long as you have 601 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 3: Steph Curry. And honestly, I think Clay Clay plays a 602 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 3: part in that too. But I think you got to 603 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 3: keep Draymond. I don't think you lose that that piece. 604 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: I think you'll lose a I think the Golden State 605 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: Wars are closer to I think Clay's a lifer. I 606 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: don't think he's going in there with I think he's 607 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: gonna He's going to be with the Golden State Warriors 608 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: until he decides to shut it down or retire or 609 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Buffer Draymond, I'm not sure. 610 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: Is he expendable? Yes? Do you want to get rid 611 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: of them? You don't know. And I think that's one 612 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: of the things that's up in there about this team 613 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: is what are they going to jewish Draymont after everything 614 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: that has transpired from the beginning of the season, and 615 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: it's just the team to flow just wasn't what it 616 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: has been over the past few years to this point. 617 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: So I'm saying to myself that those three guys will 618 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: remain together, you know, until the end, but I can't 619 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: say that now, and they definitely need some new pieces. 620 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: I think the Jordan Poole Draymond thing kind of separated 621 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: the team. One of those two guys are not going 622 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: to be there next year. And if I had to 623 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: roll the dices and make an educated guess, I would 624 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: say that I believe that Jordan Bill is going to 625 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: be on this without the door Jordan pill Because of that, 626 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: you think Paul gone. Jordan Poole. Yeah, I believe so 627 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: the way that he I believe that he's going to 628 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: I believe that he's going to ask to be traded 629 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: to let. 630 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 5: Go the way that he performed. What can they possibly 631 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 5: get for Jordan Poole with the amount of money that 632 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 5: he's old. 633 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: Man, there are so many ways around this whole trade 634 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: thing in the NBA. Man, They're doing three and four 635 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,959 Speaker 1: team trade deals and what have you. Whatever the case 636 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: may be. But you know two things that we do 637 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: know that Steph and Clay are the two cornerstones of 638 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: this organization. And with that being said, everybody else is expendable, 639 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: including Draymond Green. 640 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 5: Well, we talk about one team that may or may 641 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 5: not make changes, we will come back with another team 642 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 5: that may or may not make changes as well, and 643 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 5: we'll talk about that when we come back.

We're gonna 661 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 5: welcome back in to the up on Game. Welcome back 662 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 5: in up on Game. We're live from the Tireck dot 663 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 5: com studios. I'm TJ was out of alongside LeVar Arrington 664 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 5: and Plexico Burris. First hour has gone fast. We gonna 665 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 5: gotta make this somewhat quick. I was thoroughly surprised that 666 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 5: the Phoenix Suns went out the way that they went out. 667 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 5: Man Like, no pride they gave. I mean they first 668 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 5: half they down by thirty. I'm like what they Kadi 669 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 5: might have played the most inefficient basketball that I've seen 670 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 5: in a long time. Like, where do they go for me. 671 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 5: Devin Booker was lights out early in the Seeds or 672 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 5: early in the series, and to me, he's still one 673 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 5: of the best players in the NBA. But there's just 674 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 5: no way when you have pride, you can lose like that. 675 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 5: Not at home. 676 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: I don't think anything not possible. I wouldn't call it pride. 677 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: I was just thinking that the Devil Knookers are just 678 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: that good of a basket. No, you can lose the 679 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: game plex you can't lose the way they lost. Well, 680 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: you gotta have the game too, pride. You can't lose 681 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: that way. They gave up, and they gave up want 682 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: to play. He ain't even want to finish. 683 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 5: They gave up. You can't lose. You can lose a game, 684 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 5: you just can't lose that way. 685 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: I think moving forward for the Phoenix Suns, I think 686 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: you have to, you know, part ways with Chris Paul. 687 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody knows that. You know, he's one of 688 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: the top point guards that ever played this game, so 689 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: on and so forth. Him and Money Williams have a 690 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: great relationship going back to New Orleans when he was 691 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: playing down there. But he just I don't think he 692 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: really adds any value to this basketball team of something 693 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: that you can keep on this roster and that that 694 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: he would go out and produce, because I mean, unfortunately 695 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: for him over the past two or three years, he 696 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: gets hurt every year in the playoffs and he's finds 697 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: himself on a bench. And I think with the addition 698 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 1: of KD, I was just surprised that, yes, they really 699 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: had like a whole special on Heavin Durant in his 700 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: career and and what things that he's been able to 701 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: accomplish and not accomplish. And it seems like they're blaming 702 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: this whole lost in this series on him. Nah, he 703 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: didn't play. I don't think it's what we're used to 704 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: seeing him play. But this ain't on him. 705 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 3: But we are used to seeing him dominate and take over. 706 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 3: And everybody's getting older. All the guys are not what 707 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 3: they were filing. And he looked, oh, you hit it 708 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 3: out of the park on that one play. State I'm 709 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 3: sitting there like they are not a KD looking a 710 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 3: little bit like he's looking a little older man. 711 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: YEA look a little bit like. 712 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 5: From the field and he's a perimeter player. He shot 713 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 5: forty five percent in this series. We like, wait, wait wait, 714 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 5: I think that's list. Devin Booker is the is the 715 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 5: man of this organization. We know that, but I think 716 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 5: they need to build some pieces around him. Like I 717 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 5: said last week that I think the macal Bridges trade 718 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 5: hurt Cam Johnson. I think they had the new clear 719 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 5: of guys to get back to the Western Conference finals. 720 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 5: But they gotta find something to do. They gotta do. 721 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 5: They gotta find something with DeAndre aid Brouh what no passion, 722 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 5: he'd be out there playing with no passions. 723 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 3: They gotta figure out what quick man. Joker maiding Joker 724 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 3: put that man out of the series. 725 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're going for here. And Matt 726 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: Ishbie has went into this organization. He's already fired some 727 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: people in the front of the office as far as 728 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: scouting is concerned. So there are going to be some 729 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: changes for the Phoenix Suns. But I think moving forward, 730 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: if they want to compete in this Western Conference with 731 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: Denver and Memphis and all and then these guys moving forward, 732 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to reshape that roster. And they just 733 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: gotta figure it out. Because they got one of the 734 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: best players in the world and Devin Bucker. They just 735 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: gotta find some guys going to play with man. 736 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 5: Pretty much agree with all you said. They they they 737 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 5: must figure things out. First hour, it's coming and it's 738 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 5: come to close. We'll be back, y'all.
