Speaker 2: about the shit show that was that game last night.

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: What's going on here? I mean I asked Trey actually

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: on a top Shot stream that we did on the weekend,

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: I said, how many consecutive nights of basketball or playoff

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: games of let's say, like twenty twenty five thirty point victories?

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: How many in a row would it take for you

55
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: to like stop watching baskets? Yeah, one hundred two hundred.

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: Like me to be honest with me, Like, let's just

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: say every game for a one hundred nights, it's just

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: a twenty five point flow out, you know, Like when

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: would you finally be like, you know what, I'm done

60
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: with this sport.

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be something I would contemplate,

62
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: but maybe it is. I mean, justin Fan had the

63
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: stat the victory of margin victory last seventeen playoff games

64
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine, six nine, twenty five, twenty five, eleven, thirty three,

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight, thirteen, fourteen, twenty seven, nine, three thirty nine,

66
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: thirty thirty five. Average margin victory nineteen point eight points

67
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: has been the total of seven clutch time minutes.

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: Seven seven total minutes in how many games?

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean? I just listed twenty. I suppose good. I

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: don't know.

71
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: Take three weeks seventeen was it?

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? It said seventeen nine red.

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Well yeah it's rough right now. But the Celtics

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: have tied this up. Hey, at least we get a

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: pivotal game five. Yeah, that's good. It is two to

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: this series. Well, this weird out series. Let's break it down.

77
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Those Celtics torch the heat early here and they get

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: the one or two eighty two bloins.

79
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, look, if I say to you the Flu game,

80
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, don't you. If I

81
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: say the lebron Stare game, you know what I'm talking

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: about too, don't you? Both of those games his monumental

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: in the NBA landscape. I've got another one to add.

84
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Last night's game was the My Buddy Grish game, because

85
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: I think My Buddy Grish would have set the world

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: record last night, a new world record.

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: For the podcast lister and we've got a great you've

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: seen more follow shop. But my buddy Grish's feace on bo.

89
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Sad because because I don't know if you were with

90
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: him or not.

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: I watched the first half and I said, fuck this

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: good name.

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: Because I called this myself. Jason Jalen Brown picked up

94
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: a second foul and checked out of the game. At

95
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: six forty four, Peyton Pritchett came in and I thought, okay,

96
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: twelve one, but he's he's in a little bit of

97
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: foul trouble here. But then they came down. Tatum hit

98
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: a shot and then Jason Tatum hit an ally you

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: from Derek White boom, five forty seven to go. My

100
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: wife said to me, like, who's playing tonight, Celtics seat

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: I has a going It's.

102
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: Over, It's over. Called it in the Grisham called this

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,239
Speaker 2: when Derek waits for the first seven points.

104
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: It was pretty right, there, wasn't it. I mean, I

105
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: don't know if he's ever called one earlier than that,

106
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: But ultimately those keys. You know this morning, you put

107
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: up the thumbnail for the graphic for the show, and

108
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: you said, what did you title it? You said, weird series.

109
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: We look at GDI's all over it.

110
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think this is actually wrong. I think

111
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't have used this one because really what

112
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: you should have done has actually saved yourselves an episode

113
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: this week and just combined this to make it a

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: survive a bonus episode, because I think ultimately that's what

115
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: this series is going to come down to, because we've

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: seen so many injuries from both teams impacting the game,

117
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: and I think last night you saw it from Jimmy Butler.

118
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Now look again, it was a blowout, but I think

119
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler wasn't looking great out there. For me. PJ.

120
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Tucker wasn't looking great as well. He hesitated on a

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: couple of shots there when he was out on the court.

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero didn't even play in this game. Marcus Smart

123
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: the same. So I think we've seen a bit of

124
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: a theme. Robert Williams has been in and out of

125
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: the lineup a little bit, and I think ultimately this

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: maybe just decided by which team is healthier in Game

127
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: six or seven, if it goes that far, because really

128
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: the heat, I mean, to put up a stinker like this,

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: there has to be something more to it, and I

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: truly believe that Jimmy Butler, he made no excuses, and

131
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: you don't expect that from the Heat or anybody, but

132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: you could just tell from looking at him that he's

133
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: like he didn't have that same sort of pop he had.

134
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: What in those first two games forty and thirty something

135
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: like that, he had seventy points, and since then he

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: has just really struggled to have that same explosiveness. So

137
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: I think it's bothering him. Kyle Lowry as well, he's

138
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: come back. Didn't look great. No one really looked great

139
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: out there for the Heat last night. But I just

140
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: wonder if this is going to determine the series, if

141
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we just can't get our guys healthy

142
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: enough to get out there on the floor, because last

143
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: night was just it was this is bad. It's a

144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: bad look for the NBA. I think when a team,

145
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: no one in there starting five could hit double figures,

146
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: they combined for I think it was eighteen points their starters.

147
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: So that's really I think what it's going to come

148
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: down to, who in Game five for both teams, sure

149
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: how healthy they are, and then it is this is

150
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: a monumental, pivotal game here for the Boston Celtics because

151
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: if they get a chance to close it out at home,

152
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: they could do that very well. But if the Heat

153
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: have got healthy players, maybe then Heat can do it themselves.

154
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But anyway, there wasn't a great game,

155
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: and a little k I tried to little you know,

156
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: sexyed up a little bit have some laughs and brought it. Man.

157
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it was weird to see a team have

158
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: one point tass after eight minutes of basketball, playoff basketball.

159
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: At that it was eighteen to one. Yeah, like, I'm

160
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: pretty far into this quarter at the.

161
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 5: Very least the first three games. The team that got

162
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: down early, because it's happened in the first three games even

163
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 5: before this one came back to make it a battle.

164
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: We saw in game four the that the Heat just

165
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 5: weren't willing to do that.

166
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: They weren't ready to do that.

167
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: Game three, we had the market Smart return, you know,

168
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: coming out of the locker room, he looked like he

169
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 5: was running really great in the hallway. Then when the

170
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 5: fans sun, he started limping again. But obviously he is

171
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: in and I think if if we're talking injuries, I

172
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: think Marcus Smart's injury is up there on the worry

173
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: level as well, because he showed up to the arena

174
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 5: only seventy five minutes before the game and he was

175
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: still a game time decision. But if you're showing up

176
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 5: that close to game time, you're not playing. And Joe

177
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: Varden of the Athletic saw him when he came into

178
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: the arena. He talked to a worker at the arena

179
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 5: and then apparently the worker turned a round and said, well,

180
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 5: he's not playing, so bad sign. I think that Marcus

181
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 5: Smart may not be playing for game five. Yeah, that

182
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 5: he have a bunch of injuries. Obviously, with Jimmy Butler

183
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: not looking great, Tyler heroes got to be back. He said,

184
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 5: he's playing in game five, but you know, Butler's gonna

185
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 5: play through it. And so a good sign for Robert

186
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: Williams coming back on the Celtics. But you know, we'll

187
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 5: have it. We'll have a better game five.

188
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: Play in game five.

189
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: Now, this is what's Yeah, what do you think of this?

190
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: When did you when did you? Did you watch the

191
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: whole thing? The end of the fourth No?

192
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 3: No, no, no, hockey was on. Oh yeah, of course hockey

193
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: was on. Had to check out the Stanley Cup playoffs.

194
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: So I don't know what the heck. I don't mind

195
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: a blowout. I really don't mind a blowout if it's

196
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: like a blowout that builds throughout the night, like a

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: ten point game at halftime becomes a fifteen point game

198
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: after the third quarter. Suddenly it's twenty five in the fourth.

199
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Who cares? But these are over in like eight minutes.

200
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: It's really stupid. It's honestly just stupid. But whatever. Jimmy Butler,

201
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: the only heat started to even take double digit shots,

202
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: like bam, just what happened? What happened? Saw Robert Williams

203
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: is back and said I can't go inside anymore. That

204
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense to me. Miami went eight of

205
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: seventeen at the rim, six of twenty eight in the lane,

206
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: and two of nine from the mid range. They kind

207
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: of had to settle for the dink and dump zone

208
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: because between Horford and Robert Williams, there's just always somebody

209
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: at the rim and the heater kind of you know,

210
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 3: they're a physical and a tough team, but they're not

211
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: a very tall team, so they run into some problems

212
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: scoring inside. I feel like the Celtics didn't even play

213
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: well last night, so easily they shot eight of thirty

214
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: four from three the Celtics did. The big deal though,

215
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: was fourteen offensive rebounds for Boston. They had sixty rebounds total,

216
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: only thirty nine total on the night for Miami, so

217
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 3: you could tell that Boston was a little tougher last night.

218
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: Also a thirty eight to fourteen free throw advantage. Jason

219
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: Tatum took more free throws than the entire Heat team did.

220
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: Even Jimmy Butler wasn't getting to the line, So you

221
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: could just tell that the game plan, and this one

222
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: for the Celtics was we got to dominate inside, maybe

223
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: the threes will come. They didn't even really need it,

224
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I don't feel like we know

225
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: anything about this series, Like Game five, who cares like

226
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: Game four? What happened in Game four feels like it

227
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: has zero correlation for any of the rest of the series.

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm really pissed off of the Celtics

229
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: for the Game three egg that they laid there, because

230
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: they could be in now obviously what happens in games

231
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: thre he doesn't mean it's going to happen there in

232
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: Game four. But they just came out so flat in

233
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: Game three and got punked on their home court. Now again,

234
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Williams wasn't playing a band was great, but they really

235
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: I think may have blown them. There's a chance to

236
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: really put their foot on this on the throat of

237
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: the Heat here. Now they have to win at minimum

238
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: one game in Miami if they are going to win

239
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: the series. So there's a there's a maximum of three

240
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: to go. Two of those, of course will be in

241
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Miami if it goes the distance. But Boston might be

242
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: looking back if they lose this series. It's just thinking

243
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: how bad Game three was and how costly that might be.

244
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that happened to them a couple times

245
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 5: last series against the Bucks where they give away Game

246
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 5: three in Game five. So you know they've got I

247
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 5: think a lot of mental fortitude going forward, and we

248
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 5: know the Heat have that as well. I think what

249
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: the Heat have going for them is that Jimmy Butler

250
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 5: he's gonna play. There's no way he's sitting out, and

251
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 5: the Heat or the Celtics were dropping back and giving

252
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 5: him plenty of space in the midrage. They were protecting

253
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 5: the rim really well. Al Horford was a beast last night,

254
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: So the Celtics gotta be pretty pumped watching him have

255
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 5: four blocks. But Jimmy, if he's if he's on the floor,

256
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: he's gonna have shots. If they play pick and roll,

257
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 5: they're going to take away the rim. He's gonna have space.

258
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 5: He should be able to just knock down jumper after jumper.

259
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 5: And I'm gonna go through the guys that have some

260
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 5: hope for them because I don't know if you can

261
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 5: count on Bam, but if Tyler Hero is playing like

262
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 5: he says he's going to play, I think you can

263
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 5: count on him to give a lift, which Heat obviously

264
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 5: needed here in uh you know, they they need him

265
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: desperately just to come off the bench and hit some shots.

266
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 5: Like in Game one he came and saved the day

267
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 5: and they needed him to save the day, and this

268
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 5: one that didn't happen. So I think Butler and Hero

269
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 5: and then Oladipo is a great sign for him. He

270
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: was obviously the best Miami Heat player on the floor,

271
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 5: you know, dropping twenty three in this game. So the

272
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 5: injuries are piled up there for the Miami Heat. You know, Lowry,

273
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 5: who the heck knows what happens with him, But they

274
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 5: have three guards there that I'm giving a little bit

275
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 5: of hope for you got to have a little hope

276
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 5: for in this series. You just got to have some

277
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 5: hope that the Heat are going to score in those

278
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 5: three I think, give me a little bit of hope

279
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 5: that they'll they'll keep up with the Celtics in Game five.

280
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: It was nice to know that Jason Tatum's reputation is

281
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: still intact. Dot Com was worried.

282
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he went on for seven nough from three.

283
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: I thought he was pretty important here with that lead,

284
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: thirty one points overall, eight boards, five assists. Tray said,

285
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: like living at the free throw line too, I mean

286
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: right from the jump, he was like, we got there

287
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: was a sense of urgency of course, to the Celtics

288
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: on the boards, taking care of the ball. There were

289
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: Game three, well, he had twenty three turnovers. He only

290
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: had nine in Game four. Now a lot of this

291
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: turns into garbage time you can sort of throw it out.

292
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, they did a much much better job holding

293
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: onto the ball. And then Derek White back to him,

294
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: you know, filling in for Marcus Smart. We said it before.

295
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: You can tell within the first thirty seconds what type

296
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: of Derek White game you're getting. And the guy scored

297
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: the games for seven points, finished with thirteen, eight and six,

298
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: so you know, filling in nicely there for Smart and

299
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: then Robert Williams. Yeah, what this Bam part is fascinating?

300
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean, time lord great twelve and nine, you know,

301
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: just such a menace on the defensive end, he really is.

302
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: At times he feels everywhere. It's like whoa, he was

303
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 2: over there and suddenly he's blocking a shot or he's

304
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: challenging a shot which feels like ten feet away. The

305
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: guy just makes up so much, can cover so much

306
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: ground in a blink of an eye. But yeah, Bam, Wow, what, like,

307
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: what's his excuse? I know Tucker's banged up, Lowry's banged up,

308
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: Butler's banged up. Hell struson Vincent, I think we're on

309
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: the on the injury report before this game. I don't

310
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: remember BAM's name there. So why the complete no show here?

311
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: And it's probably not coincidental that it does seem when

312
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: taylrd is playing, you hear less and less of Bam.

313
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

314
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean it has to just be a mental thing,

315
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: I guess, because Robert Williams is great, but he's young

316
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: and he is a little bit foul prior at times,

317
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: and BAM should be dominating in that matchup, especially after

318
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: what we saw in Game three. He needs and again

319
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: I know Robert Williamson there, but BAM needs to be

320
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: way more aggressive and assertive and putting pressure on Williams

321
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: because he's been in and out of the lineup as well.

322
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: So his health to me is probably somewhere between eighty

323
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: and ninety percent. He's carrying something. I mean, most guys

324
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: are banged up to a point at this part of

325
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: the season, but when Jimmy is clearly down and PJ

326
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: was struggling like that, Bam, this should be his team.

327
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been an All Star in the past.

328
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: He needs to at least be able to follow up

329
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: a performance that he had there in Game three. Because

330
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum's follow up game after a loss, he's averaging

331
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: like thirty two a game. So he was right at

332
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: that sort of bounce back mark there last night. So

333
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: we'll see now because as Trey says that who knows

334
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. He gave that he could win

335
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: by twenty five, the Celtics could win by twenty five,

336
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: and even then we still wouldn't know who's going to

337
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: close the series out in six games after that, but

338
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: I would be extremely disappointed if I was the heat

339
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: in band's performs last night. It sounded to me that

340
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero wanted to play last night, but Spolstra and

341
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: the front office sort of said, no, we got to

342
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: make sure your health is okay here. So I would

343
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: say based on that that Hero is very likely to

344
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: play again in games set five.

345
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think he's obasically a like at this

346
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: point for a game five or are you going to

347
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: say that two.

348
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: K I would say player Duncan Robinson some more. I

349
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: don't know why we say it all the time. He

350
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: went four of eight from three. When he plays Bam

351
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: is better. Him and Bam have a real nice connection.

352
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: The space there gives Bam a little bit more room

353
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: to work on the inside. I think we're just seeing

354
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: like Bam is not yan A Santa Takombo because how

355
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: Horford is guarding Bam on most of this, but then

356
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: he's got to contend with William waiting for him at

357
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: the rim there. But there are also possessions where it's

358
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: like Derek White has switched on to Bam in the

359
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: post and White is ripping the ball from him going

360
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: the other way. So I think it was just as

361
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: much mindset stuff for Bam as it was scheme stuff.

362
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: But that's got to be a problem, So I don't know.

363
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: Williams was great though. Boston went twelve of eighteen at

364
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: the rim and he was just standing there the entire time.

365
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: The heat. The Celtics would break down, whatever the heat

366
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: we're trying to do on defense, whether it would be

367
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: playing man or a zone quite a bit, and Williams

368
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: is just standing right there for the alley up. You

369
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: can tell having a little bit of athleticism certainly matters

370
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: against a guy like PJ. Tucker. They just kept throwing

371
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: a lob to him. Nobody else can jump.

372
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're two and oh one Robert Williams place and

373
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 5: he Yeah, he does a great job of just being

374
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 5: around the him.

375
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: It's totally true.

376
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: So we just talked about his defense, but he's a

377
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: monster on the offensive end because he just makes the spacing,

378
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: you know, that more difficult, that much more difficult to guard.

379
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 5: And I think Al was Al was huge in this one.

380
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 5: If you just watched Al Horford, he had a you know,

381
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 5: a minuscule five points, but he was all over Bam,

382
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 5: all over him. He was the guy guarding him. He

383
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 5: guarded him on seventeen possessions and allowed zero points, and

384
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: he was every time he plays Bam. He yeah, kind

385
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: he kind of shuts him down. I think I think

386
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 5: Al's Al's the key there, and then Robert Williams needs

387
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 5: to be behind. So yeah, the cuth Lake's got to

388
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 5: be pretty pumped. I think if if they seem somewhat

389
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: healthy other than Marcus Smart, so they've got to be

390
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 5: pretty pretty positive going into game five.

391
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: So pivotal Game five on Wednesday night. I think we

392
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: should start a petition today for the lead to change

393
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: the game though, So let's say Thursday for two reasons. One,

394
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: these teams are so banged up, give him an extra

395
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: day's rest, all right. The other series the Western Conference

396
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: Finals again, we'll get to it. That could wrap up tonight.

397
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: That opens up a slot there on the Thursday night,

398
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: and then there's like three hours of Survivor on on

399
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: Wednesday night. Well there's a win win for everybody here.

400
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: Let us really focus on Survivor on Wednesday night. Move

401
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: this game to Thursday. Treca, you nodding away, there is

402
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: a no brainer.

403
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. I do think part of the reason that we

404
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: have so many blowouts is that we're on in every

405
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: other night sketch. That's I mean, that's I don't know,

406
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: it just seems strange that that's kind of the case

407
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: in the in the conference finals at this point, and

408
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: then obviously the uh everybody being in and out of

409
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: the lineup. You feel like it's kind of it has

410
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 3: to affect the players to find out like, oh, we're

411
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: missing one of our top six guys five minutes before

412
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 3: the tip off. So I don't know. I'm not too

413
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: worried about watching Survivor on Wednesday, though, because this game

414
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: will be over at half time, so they'll be able

415
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: to tap into true the final tribal console. No problem,

416
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: It'll be.

417
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: Over in twelve minutes tops. Yeah, the way it's been going, Yeah,

418
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: neither team can just establish any sort of like consistency

419
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: from game to game, which is the weird part here.

420
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: No, and I said in the last series, maybe those

421
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: should play it in the neutral venue game five, so

422
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: there's no home court, so they can one will go

423
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: up by thirty points and then the other team will

424
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: come back in the second half thing.

425
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: I want to know where all the like conspiracy theorists

426
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: are that always say the officials, you know, Scott Foster's

427
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: in to extend a series and all that, but why

428
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: aren't these officials giving us close games there?

429
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's you ain't good a good.

430
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: Product, Like you're saying somethings like the officials are throwing

431
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: you off the sense.

432
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: Skis oh you think so oh interesting? They should be

433
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: given us close skins. That's a lot easier than worrying

434
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 2: about a whole series. Focus on the game.

435
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, no, Look, it's tough. It is tough

436
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: when there's forty four minutes of garbage time in a game.

437
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what I felt like in that

438
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: especially it started the second quarter there, It's like, okay,

439
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: come I make a push, get something gone here, and

440
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: there was nothing, and it was like, and you sue,

441
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: people in their tweets are saying like, I wonder if

442
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: Spolster decides to pull these starters and there's like three

443
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the first time.

444
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but what but because of the schedule and

445
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Yeah, but I think everybody heard already.

446
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: Largely the same note every year like this Conference finals.

447
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, but maybe it shouldn't be.

448
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess there's something to consider,

449
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: but it's probably locked in for broadcasting and media reasons

450
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: like that, so they can't do much with it.

451
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, maybe adding a day for the travel days

452
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 5: like the arrest makes makes somewhat sense. I mean, in

453
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: everybody said this is the best basketball we've ever seen

454
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 5: in the bubble because they didn't have to travel, and

455
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 5: the schedule is virtually the same as it is now.

456
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 5: So if you added a little bit of rest for

457
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 5: the travel days, I think that sort of makes sense,

458
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: you know, to let these guys recover because they didn't

459
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 5: have to do it in the bubble, and the bubble

460
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 5: was perfect, right, And I think you gim.

461
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Even before that though, I'm pretty sure the schedule was

462
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: just you know, not on, not off for conference finals anyway,

463
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: I know for the finals that drags out. They drag

464
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: it out for nearly three weeks. Schedules.

465
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 5: Again, I'm not saying the schedule is different. Schedules has

466
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: been the same. But yeah, Jimmy, I think we're talking

467
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 5: about the bubble. I think he'll come back in Game five,

468
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 5: he just can't have Well, yeah, I agree, the three

469
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 5: stinkers in a row.

470
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: He's not going to miss it. But you just wonder

471
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: how much that because he misses what twenty odd games

472
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: a season, some of that time in.

473
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: The Hawk series. Yeah, miss time in the last series. Yeah,

474
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: miss time. Now I think it's a serious I mean,

475
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 3: it's obviously a real problem. You can see him limping

476
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: around out there. So he'll play, but will he be

477
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: able to control the games? Because that's been what Butler

478
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: has been the best at. For the Heat is like

479
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: when he's playing and when he's playing at his best,

480
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler is controlling basically everything on every side of

481
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: the court for Miami. So if he's not able to

482
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: have that kind of impact, somebody else has to. It

483
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: was Bam in Game three, Like I feel like we

484
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 3: didn't see nearly as much Bam playing point guard for

485
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: the Heat last night, and we saw that a ton

486
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: in Game three when Butler was sitting out when Lowry

487
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: was coming back. So somebody has to be able to

488
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 3: put their imprint on the game. It's usually Jimmy, but

489
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: if he's going to be harbled a little bit, somebody

490
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: else has to step up.

491
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: Any random notes from a Game four blowout that you

492
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: guys wrote down, You got anything?

493
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Well, I saw a big Baby in the crowd there, yes,

494
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: but it was too quick though. He was scoffing some

495
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: popcorn in there. Couldn't quite couldn't quite get a good

496
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: look at it because there was the game recently where

497
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: it was in the wrong seats. Oh yes, right, so yeah,

498
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: so big Baby's back, former Beantown boy, former champ. I

499
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: think they they put that up in their two thousand

500
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: and eight We had that great photo with the Larry

501
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: O'Brian trophy.

502
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the George Cassando.

503
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Ye, yeah, good, I'm looking for you. I guess we

504
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: had the Pistons there. Cunningham was the Killian Hayes, Twaine

505
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Casey was there, and there was one other.

506
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 3: Do you know?

507
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: The reason is it just to like get the vibes

508
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: of a conference finals, high stakes blowout performance. Exactly, what's

509
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: gonna feel like? We're down twenty.

510
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Five finals, work hard and you can get blown out

511
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: like that.

512
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: It's a nice touch there. Yeah, you see trying to

513
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: get the young guys there. Okay, anything else, guys on

514
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: this side of the table, any hockey notes health throw

515
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: the minute.

516
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: We got a great second period between the Saint Louis

517
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 3: Blues and Colorado. The Avs scored four goals in five minutes,

518
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: and then the Blues scored two powerful play goals in

519
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: three minutes. Jesus, it's a lot of goals, A lot

520
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 3: of goals, A lot of goals in the second period.

521
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: Not so much in the Florida Panthers versus Tampa Bay Lightnings.

522
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 2: Yes, it's over it.

523
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: Andre vast left.

524
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: Ski a brick wall.

525
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: This guy's the difference right now. Jonathan quick Esque, he's

526
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: taken over here.

527
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: That can win your cup.

528
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 3: That kid has already won them two cups.

529
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: That's true.

530
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: They're looking like a three pet here. That would be

531
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: the weirdest three peat in sports.

532
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: Like you, I don't know. It feels like you could

533
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: go out onto the street and ask people like, Hey,

534
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: who's the who's won the last two Cups?

535
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, people.

536
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that many are.

537
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 5: And that was a Florida Tampa rivalry series. Nobody, Yeah,

538
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 5: it was a number one seed. Florida led the league

539
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: and goals.

540
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: Shut them down, wasn't it.

541
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: And they score the most goals ever in a season

542
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: Florida Panthers, they scored a ton, Yeah, I think they did.

543
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 2: Actually any other any other poops notes anything? Hey, what

544
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: do you think about the officiating? Like, I know, I

545
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: see some people are pissed off by that. Yeah, I

546
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: don't know.

547
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: You don't know.

548
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: They were mad at the officiating and a thirty.

549
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: They're mad at the idea that the Celtics are the

550
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: last two games have taken I don't know. I have

551
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: in front of me, like forty more free throws.

552
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think you can make an argument

553
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: for the Heat should have taken more free throws last night. Sure,

554
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 3: maybe game maybe Game three? Yeah, that Game three was

555
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: a strange game with blowout turning into another blowout the

556
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: other way and up with a close game. But I mean, literally,

557
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 3: how can you say anything about the officials thirty point game?

558
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 5: It's just looking at the final box score and saying, wait,

559
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 5: well that team has more than the other team. That's

560
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: all it is. It's an observation on the box score.

561
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 5: It's not an observation on the game. It's pretty late.

562
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 5: What else is it? It's it's unfortunate. Really, who wants

563
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 5: to wow? I can look at a box score too,

564
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 5: and see that one team had more more free throws

565
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 5: than the other. Has nothing to do with the actual

566
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 5: basketball game, because one team.

567
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: Laughing because I just saw you looking at a box score,

568
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: not about the fouls.

569
00:24:58,760 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: Here's a box score.

570
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: How many fell did they have? What was the difference

571
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: in the end, you got it right there. How many

572
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: the Celtics shoot.

573
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 5: Throw thirty eight versus fourteen twenty four, So.

574
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: It's it's a drastic difference.

575
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 3: But yeah, was more aggressive. Yeah, Jimmy Butler was hobbled.

576
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: That's how the Heat take a lot of free That's true.

577
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: That guy lives at the line. He took eighteen in

578
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: Game one. He's taken ten cents.

579
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 5: They don't have other guys that that gets to the

580
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 5: free throw line. And and even their you know, the

581
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: guy who creates other than Jimmy Butler wasn't in the game.

582
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 5: And Tyler Hero, so that was that was a big

583
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 5: factor obviously last night, the Tyler Hero absence, big, big, big,

584
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, you could see from the beginning of the

585
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 5: game Derek White, who a guy who isn't necessarily aggressive,

586
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 5: had his best game to me of the postseason, but

587
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 5: obviously of this series. He had his first three of

588
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: the series, So that's a to me, that's a bit

589
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 5: of a worry for the Celtics going forward. Marcus Smart's

590
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 5: not there, Derek White, can you count on this game

591
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 5: in and game out? I think this was sort of

592
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 5: a special game for Derek White. He looked like a

593
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 5: different Yeah, it looked like a different guy.

594
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 3: I thought Derek White had like this awesome game too.

595
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: But all he did was have an awesome first quarter. Yeah,

596
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: it was really just the first quarter in this game.

597
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: He scored ten points, went four of eight from the field,

598
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: had an assist, a couple of steals. He didn't make

599
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: a shot after the first quarter. That's how dumb this game.

600
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 3: He was like the star of the game, and I

601
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: was like, man, what an awesome game for Derek White

602
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 3: to do this right after his son was born, and

603
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: he shot like four firm.

604
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: Game four was one quarter though.

605
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: That was one quarter. One last note for his skeets.

606
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: This one comes from stat Muse, who points out that

607
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: Max Streus went for zero, zero, zero, zero and zero

608
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: in fifteen plus minutes played, first time that that's happened

609
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: in the last three playoffs. Went for a Tony Snell

610
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: last night.

611
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he saw you retweet it with a mins Streus

612
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: nailed it. How about this one? Max Grizz said, a

613
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: gross say it with a funny accent.

614
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 3: You tweet that.

615
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: I saved them on the podcast?

616
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: What about you?

617
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: Can you still do like boys tweets?

618
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: You know? Oh?

619
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: You me?

620
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: Oh that sounds good Max.

621
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 5: It's interesting getting back to the Derek Wi baby bump.

622
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: Yeah quiet thirteen eight and six. He really didn't score

623
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 5: after the first game, after the first quarter, but he

624
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 5: was a thread out there and that's what they need

625
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 5: from him. So can he keep that up going forward?

626
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 5: I think the interesting part was that he named his

627
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 5: baby the same name as Robert Williams named his baby

628
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 5: Hendricks good name teammates, same baby name. He just said,

629
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 5: I like the name.

630
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: Wow. Is that legal? You do that?

631
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. It seems like, how do you feel

632
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 2: bad I suddenly had a girl. I'm like, I love

633
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: the name Zoe. I'm gonna take it tests that's all.

634
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: He's like, Yeah. I mean it's like, on one hand,

635
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: it's like, that's great because you think it's a good

636
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: name too, and that's why we named our child. But

637
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: then it's on the other hand, it's like, well, that's

638
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: just making things confusing. Oh, it's Zowa's birthday. Hey, it's

639
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: Zoway's birthday coming up. And you got to be like,

640
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: well which one.

641
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 5: Oh well we did that to our friends canon March.

642
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 5: They want Noah, We said no way, that's pregnant earlier.

643
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I think that's the right take

644
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: on this.

645
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: But you can spell it differently though, so you know,

646
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean you could. I I wouldn't ask permission if

647
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: I could name my own child.

648
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: If so, Trey, you have no problem. If Trey's gonna

649
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: have a third child, he's gonna have a boy. And

650
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: he's like, I'm going to Oscar. I'm not really gonna

651
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: just stump in there and say I feel a certain

652
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: way about it. No, I'm just curious.

653
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, because it's like, again, when it's my own child,

654
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: the people who made the decision for our child were

655
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: me and my wife, And I didn't say to anybody

656
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: when if we go with a Sebastian Oscar, what about?

657
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 2: But come on, when you're coming up with names, you're

658
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: definitely doing the part. We're like, I know, I know

659
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: a Frank. I hate Franks. I can't We're not going

660
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: for you know what I mean, Like, there's that honestly, no,

661
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: oh wow, well you I can't Yeah, I mean, I'm

662
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: gonna stop there. We'll just get into an argument.

663
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: But when when when we were having a child, I

664
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: wasn't like, we should consult to see who's okay with

665
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: his name? We want to, but people do.

666
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: As what I'm saying happened to my family for sure.

667
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: My sister is McKenzie and my like my uncle in

668
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: law a little bit extended. They were having a little

669
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: baby girl, and they're like, would you be okay if

670
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: we named our kid Mackenzie, our baby Mackenzie. Were like, yeah,

671
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: that's cool. You know, you live a little bit of ways.

672
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: We're here in Illinois. It'd be nice to have two

673
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: McKenzie's in the family. They ended up moving to the

674
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: same town that we lived in. Oh big Kenzie, little Kenzie.

675
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: That's great.

676
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, But but they consulted, they consulted, they asked.

677
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: We said, go for it. We'll never have to deal

678
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: with this being a problem ever. And then we lived

679
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: in the same city of you know, five thousand people

680
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: for five years at a time and it was not

681
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 3: a problem at all. Here's what I think happened is

682
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: that Derek White and his partner must have found out

683
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: they were having a boy before he was traded to

684
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: the Celtics. They're like, we're naming this kid Hendrix, no

685
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: matter what. Then they got traded to the Celtics. There

686
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: was already a Hendrix there. Oh we got two Hendrix's right,

687
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: and the guitars. I mean, if you went deuce, you

688
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: should I think I would have shut that down.

689
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: I think so too. That's the funny part. It depends

690
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: on the name a little bit. You know. If it's

691
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: like a really unique name that you don't hear all

692
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: that often, then maybe you're like, I don't know, I

693
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: just had one of those key. Of course you're not

694
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: going to consult that like seven.

695
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't want those other people calling the child seven.

696
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: But he didn't have one yet as well, so you

697
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 1: can't reserve it all right.

698
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: There should be a different name for every baby born

699
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 5: in the US. How many babies are born in the US.

700
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 5: There should be whatever it is, ten million babies, ten

701
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 5: million different names.

702
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: That's it.

703
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Just spell it different.

704
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: First.

705
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: You gotta have a baby January first, if you.

706
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: Want to choose.

707
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, Harley.

708
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: That's a great idea. Okay, let's take our first break.

709
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: I think it's a good time to do that. When

710
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: we come back, we'll talk about the Wolves getting their guy,

711
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: and I got some weird trivia for you guys, and

712
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: Lea's got tweet the night. So we'll be right back,

713
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: all right, back here in the Classic Factory. If you're

714
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: joining us in the stream team right now, live on YouTube,

715
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: we're having some issues. I think it's YouTube. Just always

716
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: blame YouTube. I guess we were lagging. We were a

717
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: little choppy there.

718
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: JD.

719
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: You did a quick reboot or something during the ad.

720
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Break, Yeah, I rebooted.

721
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna blame us on this.

722
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: It's not I don't think it was YouTube.

723
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: I think it was us this time.

724
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: Well not me, well not me. I mean it's a thing. Yeah,

725
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: well I yeah, would you kick by accident?

726
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Well I kicked the sign here a lot all the time,

727
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: but triggered it.

728
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: It was all your skits and bits.

729
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: Too many photos this morning.

730
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, so uh, maybe if you are in

731
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: the stream team it's still not working, maybe hit a

732
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: little refresh, because I think we are back and hopefully

733
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: we are live here got some news a bit of

734
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: a follow up to something we were talking about yesterday,

735
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: because it's official now. According to the Athletic a Fine website,

736
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a five year, forty

737
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: million dollar contract with Denver Nuggets president Tim Connolly to

738
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: lead basketball operations. He will also have an ownership stake

739
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: as part of his new contract. Tim Connolly getting paid.

740
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: Your task to uh to go to Minnesota. But yeah,

741
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: what do you think.

742
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 5: As an ownership kicker? Right, like he can. It can

743
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: be triggered depending on some achievements or whatever. But they've

744
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: done that before. The late Flip Saunders had a piece

745
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 5: of the ownership. So the Minnesota Timberwolves, Yeah, ready to

746
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 5: pay someone Tim Connolly eight mil per year. Here, that's

747
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: up in the into the rc Buford Bob Meyers sort

748
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 5: of realm, not quite into the pat Riley realm. But

749
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 5: that's a that's a huge, huge level for Tim Connolly.

750
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: And salary, I believe exactly.

751
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah there and so yeah, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Lauria, they

752
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 5: come in and say, hey, we want to get somebody

753
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 5: that has a big name, a track record, and Tim

754
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 5: Connolly has that, and it's interesting that Alex Rodriguez Mark

755
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 5: Lawyer are still the minority owners in the transition here

756
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 5: because Glenn Taylor is still the majority owner, but will

757
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 5: overtake it at some point. Tim Connolly met with Yeah

758
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: A Rod and Mark Luriy. They also met with Glenn

759
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 5: Taylor for a very long time. They got a feel

760
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 5: for him at his house. They got to feel for

761
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 5: the family and each other there. So they have to

762
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 5: meet everybody. But they're willing to pay up, pony up

763
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 5: for a name that is going to take control of

764
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: the front office. But they're not cunning costs elsewhere. Satching Gupta,

765
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 5: who is running the front office, likely still going to

766
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 5: be there. They're adding to the front office staff. So

767
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 5: great sign from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Is a team that

768
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 5: you wouldn't necessarily think of as a team that's willing

769
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 5: to pony up for our front office member to lead

770
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 5: in this way. At eight million plus an ownership possibility,

771
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 5: it's a huge dollar figure. So congrats to Tim Connolly

772
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 5: and his family.

773
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: This is a nice looking combo here in Minnesota. When

774
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 2: you think of a creative coach and Chris Finch, you've

775
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: got a creative German. Kindly who definitely has a knack

776
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: for finding talent in the draft and putting together a roster.

777
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: You like what's going on here in Minnesota.

778
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think if you put up this

779
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: sort of money and you make these aggressive moves, it

780
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: certainly sends a message like we are really going to

781
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: invest in the team, And I think that's what fans

782
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: want to see. They don't want to see your front

783
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: office or in an ownership that sort of chips out

784
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: and always trying to cut corners. Instead, they're saying, proven

785
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: track record, we want this guy. We're going to give

786
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: him a big fat contract because we believe in him.

787
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: The ownership stake is fascinating because if other gms starts

788
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: seeing that as a potential bonus in your contract, everyone's

789
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: going to start asking for that when they go for

790
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: their jobs and things like that. So that's huge. But yeah,

791
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: you have to feel that this was a pretty good

792
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: season overall here for the Minnesota Timbles. Maybe didn't end

793
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: quite the way they would have liked it, But I

794
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: think Karl Anthony Towns really did grow most of this season.

795
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards, I think he's a virtual lock for the

796
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: All Star Game in the next year or two based

797
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: on his growth. D'Angelo Russell. Yeah, there's still some up

798
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: and down there, but overall this was a Chris Finch

799
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: has proved to be a pretty good coach. So I

800
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: think they are moving in the right direction here Minnesota

801
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: and now Tim Connelly, if he can come in and

802
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: have that same sort of impact that he had in Denver,

803
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: then you can see in the next three or four years.

804
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: He things Minnesota could go from a fringe playoff team

805
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: to a legit contender.

806
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 3: Try anything, Dad, I just think this is awesome by

807
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves to have a need and to say here's

808
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: what we're going to do. We're looking for a top

809
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 3: five guy. I don't know that I necessarily knew that

810
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: Tim Connolly was a top five GM. Nonetheless, they paid

811
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: a time for it through inequity, likely saying that sends

812
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 3: a message to every other player and agent out there.

813
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 3: We're a team that we want to be taken seriously.

814
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 3: Now we're on the upswing with our talent, and then

815
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: obviously things are changing with regards to the ownership in

816
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: the front office as well. So I mean to me

817
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 3: like this kind of puts the Nuggets where the Timberwolves

818
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 3: are You're like, you're not paying for your GM the

819
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 3: guy who built your team again. You know, that's exactly

820
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: what happened with Miss Saiyu Jerry back in the day.

821
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: He built that super fast Nuggets team. I think they

822
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: had like a sixty win season at some point, and

823
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: then he was gone to the raptor same thing here.

824
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: This is the best Nuggets team in quite some time

825
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 3: since probably Carmelo Anthony was around. And now they have

826
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 3: a new voice in charge who's gonna have to figure

827
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: some things out. They'll and hit the ground running. They

828
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: say it's gonna be Calvin Booth kind of stepping up

829
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: from the number two spot. But between Yokic getting a

830
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: super Max extension, Bryn Forbes, Campazo and Rivers are all

831
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 3: free agents, Barton Green and Green have one year left

832
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: on their deals. They've got their core there in Porter,

833
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 3: Murray and Jokic, but they got to figure out everything

834
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: else around it, and they got to do it basically

835
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 3: right away. So that's one thing I'll be watching with

836
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: regards to the Nuggets is what happens with the Joki extension.

837
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 3: Does he sign it right away? Does he say I'll

838
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 3: play out this season. We can talk about it afterwards.

839
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 3: That's a that's on my mind for sure.

840
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: Right now, especially as a Bulls fan hoping there GM

841
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 2: trying to get jok to Chicago.

842
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 3: N Where was he from?

843
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, there's a connection there coming interesting. Any

844
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: other thoughts on front office moves there? We talked about

845
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,479
Speaker 2: it a lot yesterday's show. It just became official there

846
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: and I encourage you to go to the Athletic dot

847
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: com slash No Dunks, get yourself a subscription and read

848
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: a great report from who was it? Kreshinsky and Shasharanya

849
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: breaking this down all of the details about Connolly going

850
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: to Minnesota. All right, I didn't know this was a thing,

851
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: or I think I did, but I always forget about it. Yesterday,

852
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: Celtics guard Marcus Smart was named the winner of the

853
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one twenty two NBA Hustle Award. He becomes

854
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: the first two time winner of the Hustle Award, which

855
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: rewards players that do the little things that don't often

856
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: show up in the traditional box score. Sounds like Al

857
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 2: Horford here tests Hustle stats include deflections, loose balls, recovered,

858
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: charges drawn, screen assists, contested shots, and box outs, true

859
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: sicko shit bouts. Okay, yeah, so congrats to Marcus Smart.

860
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: I asked you guys yesterday, jumped in slack and said, hey,

861
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: whatever you do, don't read the NBA dot Com press

862
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: release about Smart winning the Hustle Award because I want

863
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: to do some trivia on the three of you guys.

864
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know.

865
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 2: You guys might knock this out of the park.

866
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 5: There are four to ask us if Trey Kirby boxed

867
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 5: out guys, No, no, no, no.

868
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 2: There are four other winners tasks of the NBA Hustle Award. Okay,

869
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 2: Smart's done it twice. It's all been around six years.

870
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: Can you name them? And I'll give you some hints.

871
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: But I mean I have a go at it.

872
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: Well.

873
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: I mean Conn Lowry must be No, no, that's a

874
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: good guess. You think Lowry maybe finished top three in

875
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: the Hustle Awards.

876
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: I don't know.

877
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: Go Bear, no oh, come on screen, says no Bear.

878
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: No Bear had tested shots.

879
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 5: He'd think he'd be up there too.

880
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: Are we going or small?

881
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: We got a bit of both. We got a bit

882
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: of both. The first guy was in the news recently.

883
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: I mean he was all over the news. He was

884
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: literally on every news program. When was the first Hustle

885
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: Award winner back in two thousand and sixteen, seventeen.

886
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so who's a guy in the same sort

887
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: of mode like that?

888
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: Well, well, p J Taka uh no, Tucker, we actually

889
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 2: have a bunch of bigs now, so Beverly was really

890
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: the only you know, Guard.

891
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: Gibson.

892
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: No, no, that's a really good guest. Okay, here we go,

893
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: here we go. Two of these guys played for the Raptors.

894
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: Did they win it on the Raptors?

895
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: I don't believe they did. Know they did not that

896
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: that's great, that's great, Marcus.

897
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: No, no said, we're off the off.

898
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 2: The one guy played for the Bulls and the Raptors

899
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: and he won it on Chicago James Johnson, and it

900
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: happened last year, so nobody remembers it happened last year.

901
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: The Bulls had a hustler.

902
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: Out there, did you sure?

903
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: Did Ryan Archie Diakano the boot he's on the Raptors.

904
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: He's on the Raptors now.

905
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: Thomas direct that this guy was once on a graphic

906
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: that took the Internet by store. Yeah, he had a

907
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: lot of the elections. Daddy has won won it last year. Okay,

908
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,479
Speaker 2: you got two more bigs now, one of them played

909
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: for the Raptors but didn't win it with the Raps. No,

910
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 2: but he's this guy was a very popular Raptors player

911
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: for sure.

912
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 5: Meir Johnson.

913
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: There you go, Meir Johnson.

914
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: Good one.

915
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: He won the second one and then final one twenty

916
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty. He's no longer on the team he won

917
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: it with. He's changed conferences. He's a hustle guy. He's

918
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 2: a sixth man guy. But he's a bigot.

919
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 5: You're gonna say he's no longer with.

920
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: Us, No, no, no, he's still still man.

921
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the interesting part. He's a big that's

922
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: always in the six he's one six man I.

923
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: Think of the year.

924
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: Actually, excuse me, I think so sort of bike. That's

925
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: a little surprised that he won this. He went box out,

926
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: he's drops. Actually, this guy I think is notoriously bad

927
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 2: at boxer.

928
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 3: Go Thompson.

929
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: But isn't that the up on him? Like he's not

930
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: the greatest, like getting the body on bigs get Yeah. Anyway,

931
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: so that in order started with Beverly, Amir Johnson, Marcus Smart,

932
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: Mantres Harald Saudius younger than Marcus Smart going for the

933
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: second second win here.

934
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: Cleaning up this year the awards.

935
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: That's right.

936
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you said he'd won it twice, I thought

937
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: you were going to say that he won it this

938
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: year and last year. And the award has been around.

939
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: For two years.

940
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually has a long history. We did, uh,

941
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: we did bring up the Hustle Award last year. We

942
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 2: talked about the statius young winning on one of these.

943
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: So is it a purely statistical like the points of accumulate.

944
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: I mean it's through NBA dot com because of the

945
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: like the Hustle you know, yeah, yeah, scores and stuff

946
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: that they track and everything. But I don't know if

947
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: they have like an algorithm for it or somebody votes

948
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: on it. Just maybe Schumann just decided. Yeah, I don't know.

949
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: It's all the all the you know, categories lined up.

950
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 2: He's got his Excel sheet. Yeah, yeah, crunches the numbers.

951
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: Do you guys want to try and name the other

952
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: finishers for this year?

953
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: Many who else hustled?

954
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: There's four other names that other hustled hard. Two are

955
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: now two are on the box. I'll give you that

956
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: just make this little quick Carter, No, Bobby, Bobby p

957
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: And then this guy also hustles. There he's second, he

958
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: finished second. Okay. Then you got a Nets player, and

959
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: you got a Pistons player Bruce Brown, nice, okay, nice.

960
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: And then you got a big Isaiah Stewart nice box.

961
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is.

962
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 2: And they said we couldn't give you five minutes, maybe

963
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: ten minutes. I don't know if I wouldn't keeping track.

964
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: Are we lagging still on the hustle Award? Okay, great stuff, guys.

965
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about Western Conference game for tonight.

966
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: What are you watching for in Game four between the

967
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 2: Warriors and Mavericks gentleman sweep on the horizon or is

968
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: this street suite?

969
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 3: Shout out to Lee Ellis and the Southern lawyer. I

970
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: do declare the Dallas Mavericks are at the last chance salute.

971
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 3: I haven't heard about the last chance saloon in a while.

972
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 3: But the MAVs have got to be ready to shoot

973
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: some some three pointers tonight. They gotta make them. They're

974
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 3: thirty three percent on the series, Game one eleven for

975
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: forty eight, Game two twenty one for forty five, but

976
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 3: fifteen of those came in the first half game three,

977
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 3: thirteen to forty five. So basically they've shot the ball

978
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: well for one half and they've got to be kicking

979
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: themselves for losing that game too, Like this could be

980
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: this could be a crucial Game four tonight because you

981
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 3: had a great performance from Don Chic, you had a

982
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: great performance from Brunson, You actually made some threes. That

983
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 3: was the one to steal on the road for sure.

984
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 3: But they got to make some tonight. If they hit

985
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 3: twenty plus threes, they got a chance. As for the Warriors,

986
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 3: they've just got to bring the effort. So that's what

987
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 3: I'm watching for. They stunk it up in Game five

988
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: versus Memphis with a chance to eliminate them on the road,

989
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: lost by forty easily their worst effort of the playoffs.

990
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 3: But right now the Warriors are so close to the

991
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: finals that they can smell it. So I assume they'll

992
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: at least give a full effort tonight. And it's just

993
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: on the MAVs to play their best game to try

994
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: and survive in this one.

995
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: And the Warriors could have swept the Nuggets in the

996
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: first round two but lost Game four in Denver. You

997
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 2: can try a big game, but then they went back

998
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: to the Bay and took care of business in five.

999
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 2: Does that happen again here in the files?

1000
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

1001
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 5: I know people ye look at the Memphis blowout, look

1002
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 5: at that nugget situation and say, well, the Warriors are

1003
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 5: going to do that again. I don't think so. I

1004
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 5: think they're going to get this done. I think Lucas

1005
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 5: had two forty point performances in three games. You're going

1006
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 5: to ask them to do it again. That's a lot.

1007
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 5: And I feel like, yeah, the MAVs are extremely deflated.

1008
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 5: That game two really hurt. They should have won that game.

1009
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 5: They had seven more threes than the Warriors of forty

1010
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 5: thirty and twenty point game from three of their guys.

1011
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 5: And I think the Warriors they won't lay an egg

1012
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 5: like they did against the Grizzlies'. They're ready for the

1013
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 5: finals here. I think it's over.

1014
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: Get a lot of rest if you take care of

1015
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 2: business tonight. Yeah, you're the Warriors, right, you can look

1016
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: at that a good we can plus, yeah, that other

1017
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 2: one goes seven. Even if it doesn't, I guess because

1018
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: they already scheduled the finals.

1019
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: But what do you think?

1020
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: What happens to me. Well, I believe in your mavericks.

1021
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: I honestly, I was more deflated with jason Kids comments

1022
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: after Game three where he was like, we're done, We're

1023
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: done a little bit. I mean it sounded like that.

1024
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: I think, look, if you are the MAVs, though, you

1025
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: may as well just keep firing away tonight. Get up

1026
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: eighty five three pointers. You know, you may as well,

1027
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: because they haven't really shown no, well they haven't really

1028
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: shown that they're going to have try anything else. So

1029
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: I guess if you can get up eighty five and

1030
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: you can make twenty of them, then that's not too bad.

1031
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: Your batons. You know, you get.

1032
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: That good twenty three five if you make it twenty three,

1033
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, but but again you have

1034
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: none of you're shooting any five.

1035
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: But the thing is with with Kleeber and h and

1036
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: Finny Smith and Bluck. I mean, like I said, I

1037
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: was just disappointing game three that they were like, we're

1038
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: not just going to not shoot them. Well, so if

1039
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: you're not make them and you're not shooting them, you're

1040
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: really not putting any pressure on the Warriors, And have

1041
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: felt to me more like the Warriors are like, like

1042
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: you're saying, they were like, Hey, let's get home and

1043
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: not even have to worry about another game. Let's get

1044
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: home rest because they'll be at home no matter who

1045
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: they face, who comes out of the East, So they'll

1046
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: have a tremendous advantage because that series could go six

1047
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: games and then one of those teams have to fly

1048
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: across the country to face the rested and ready worries.

1049
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to see how the maps, if they've

1050
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: done anything to figure out the Warrior's own defense, like

1051
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 2: how they're gonna attack it, Like they didn't have much

1052
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: of a game plan. I thought they're in game three

1053
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: really for much of the series, they've struggled, and I

1054
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: know that they're switching a lot of the defense, so

1055
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 2: they're seeing different looks. It's man, then it's box line,

1056
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: and then it's own stuff like that. But yeah, they're

1057
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna have to do better against his own

1058
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: defense because the Warriors are gonna try that again. Of

1059
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: course at times tonight, like why wouldn't Kurr, you know,

1060
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 2: implement that again. See if I don't know what the

1061
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 2: play is because we talked about I don't really know

1062
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: who you throw in the middle of the zone. Could

1063
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: it be Luca ga Is brunts and more sort of

1064
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: on the ball and throw him in the middle and

1065
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 2: see what happens. Get creative, your kid. You already tried

1066
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: the vendor bender didn't work. Are they gonna sit down tonight? No, No,

1067
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: they won't do that. We'll theo Pinson be wearing. I

1068
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: think them. I think the Warriors are scheduled to wear

1069
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know, maybe the black jerseys tonight? Will

1070
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: he be wearing black tonight? Can Penson keep his streak

1071
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: going on that?

1072
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: Wow?

1073
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: They got they got blue Warriors and Blues.

1074
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: I think the next game is black then okay, we'll see. Wow.

1075
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: Nobody's very excited for this one too. I think the

1076
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 2: mask I think the masking. Actually, I think we're getting

1077
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 2: a gentleman sleep. I really do.

1078
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: I hope you're right.

1079
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And part of that is maybe the Warriors notoriously like, oh,

1080
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 2: they'll be sloppy with the ball and sort of take

1081

Speaker 2: Yeah, do you ever watch any Big Three?

1174

Speaker 1: I think at the start. I think at the start

1175
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: because it's one of those things I think it sounds

1176
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: great you're seeing these some form of legends play, but

1177
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: it's actually not that great. After you watch it for

1178
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: a while, it's like it's okay.

1179
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:13,440
