Speaker 1: ideal landing spots for Spurs free agent Demorto Rosen. We

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,280

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: uh what we popped some ziploc bags of carts and

Speaker 1: up something.

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just glad that Try's got that bag ready,

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: guessing case things go off the rays and we have

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: to see if there's a nightmac Millan in that pack

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: today still, because we got a night yesterday, didn't we

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: we did.

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: I feel like a little bit like you, Lee. I

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: just have like random things around here for me. Rather

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: than pencils, it would be a collection of three different

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: black pens. Obviously, I've got my bag of cards around here,

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: and I'm sure if I look around there's some CD

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: ROMs with various places I've visited as.

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: Well, good, good, excellently.

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think we're gonna need to get to

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: that stuff here on this show, because we got a

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: lot of games to recap, and that's what we're gonna

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: do here. Look at all four of last night's games

49
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, maybe say goodbye to a few of

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: the teams that we have lost have been eliminated. And

51
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: by the way, on tomorrow's podcast, on the Drop Friday Show,

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: we will start previewing and actually predicting a couple of

53
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the second round series that are locked and loaded for

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: this weekend. We'll save that for Friday Show because today

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: it's all about looking back to last night. And let's

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: start with a crazy game task Luka Doncic scoring forty

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: two to lead the Mavericks over the Clippers one oh

58
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: five to one hundred. In the end. In Game five,

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: there got real dicey for Dallas, but they held on

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and Luca was pretty special. Despite maybe not having a

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: great fourth quarter, he was goddamn incredible.

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: The Clippers are going to regret the day they didn't

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 5: bring the fire from the beginning, and it started from

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 5: the beginning of this series when they didn't put Kawhi

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 5: or Paul George on Luca. They waited a couple of

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: games to make their lineup changes. They didn't play hard

67
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 5: really until Game three, from the beginning of the game,

68
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: and it continued into Game five where they got back home,

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 5: and they didn't really scramble a lot on the defensive

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 5: end until that final quarter when they held them at

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 5: US and Luca to a sixteen point fourth quarter, And

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: despite not playing incredible defense the entire night, that sixteen

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 5: point fourth quarter was enough to just get them oh

74
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 5: so close to a win. And then they fell apart

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: with fifteen seconds left, they got a great stop. They're

76
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: down one point and they push and they didn't hold back. Okay,

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: that happens. Terrence Man is the guy who's leading the break,

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 5: and he could have had a layup. He could have

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: attempted a layup, but instead, for whatever reason, he pulled back.

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: He dropped it to Nick Batoum, who missed a shot,

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: and Paul George and especially Kawhi Leonard are at the

82
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: three point line jumping around waiting for the ball.

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: Where is it?

84
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 5: Well, that's just the miscommunication of this Clippers team. What

85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: are we doing here on the final play? Is it

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: going to Kawhi if you don't have that initial attempt

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: to come back and push it out to Kawhi? And

88
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 5: Tylu said, you know, going into to Game three after

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: losing the first two, we're going to play better on

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 5: the road. Our offense will played better on the road.

91
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 5: And it's true, they scrambled and played harder on the road,

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: and they came back home and they didn't do it

93
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: for four quarters, and Luca was way too fricking much,

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 5: and they could have got there at the end. But

95
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 5: I think it just shows that last play as well,

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: that they're not on the same page. They just don't

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: have it completely together, and their talent will get them

98
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 5: there to the end. But Luca was, you know, he

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 5: was enough to get the MAVs this win, and I

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: find it hard to believe that Clippers are gonna be

101
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: able to fight back and win game six and Game seven.

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, yeah, the Hobo sweep is in play Trey.

103
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: It's only the third playoff series in NBA history, first

104
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: since ninety five. I think they're telling us in which

105
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: the road team has won the first five games. You

106
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: can throw out the Raptor Celtics series from last year

107
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: because that's in a neutral sit there down in the bubble.

108
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Hobo sweep. Everybody's excited. I mean, we've

109
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: talked about the douchebag sweep, the gentleman sweep. Now there

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: might be a Hobo sweep here if, of course, the

111
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Clippers can win in Dallas and then the Mavericks can

112
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: once again finish it off in Game seven in LA.

113
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: But what were your takeaways from this game?

114
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it's hilarious that the hobo sweep is

115
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: still on the table in Tylu. He was right, road

116
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: court advantage so far has been the deal here. Unfortunately

117
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: for the Clippers, they earned home court advantage, So I

118
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: don't know if you want to necessarily be in that situation,

119
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: but I thought going with Porzingis and Boban as the

120
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: front court was pretty interesting there from Rick Carlisle to

121
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: start off. This game kind of got the Clippers the

122
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: fallen love with the jump shot, which they are want

123
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: to do. Turned into a shooting contest.

124
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: You know.

125
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: The team's played pretty fairly. They tied from three there.

126
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: The Clippers had just a few more turnovers, and I

127
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: think Kendrick Perkins nailed it.

128
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I think Kendrick Perkins nailed it. Is what I just

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: said on Twitter.

130
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: He said, Luca jumped on over the fence and found

131
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: out the dog that was barking wasn't nothing but a

132
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: damn Pomeranian what and got his ball. He served for

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: Clippers a church dinner tonight that included a family order

134
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: of forty two leg quarters, twelve pieces of corn bread,

135
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: and eight slices of pound cake wild stuff from Kendrick Perkins.

136
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: But Luca was the difference man.

137
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: And you see the difference between what he does when

138
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: he's running the game out there compared to what Paul

139
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: George and Kawhi Leonard do because Luca the scoring is incredible. Obviously,

140
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: the guy can get his shot anytime he wants, but

141
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: also feels like he can get a good shot for

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: any anybody on his team anytime he wants to. You

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 3: saw the stats going around after this game where it

144
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: was like Luca scored or assisted on thirty one of

145
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: thirty four Mavericks buckets or.

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Some seven thirty one, thirty seven, thirty one to thirty seven.

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 5: There you go.

148
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: But you see that's the difference there is. The playmaking

149
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: just elevates all those other players around the Mavericks as well.

150
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: We got twenty from Tim Hardaway Junior. He was getting

151
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: some tasty dishes even if he didn't shoot a great percentage.

152
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: The playmaking that Luca brings, the ability to get in

153
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: the lane and either score with like a weird floater

154
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 3: or a spinning turnaround jumper or maybe a bank shot,

155
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: or then, on the other hand, be one of the

156
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: best passers in the game, get these wide open threes.

157
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: That's what gets into the level of a James Harden

158
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: or a Lebron James, which is a little bit further

159
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: honestly than Kawhi and Paul George, at least in this

160
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: series so far.

161
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was loving that Kendrick Perkins tweet until he

162
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: got to the church dinner part. I thought the dog

163
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: fence part was awesome, but then he messed up the

164
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: twelve pieces too, is actually fourteen pieces of cornbread, Ley,

165
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it was pretty amazing cornbread. Yeah, with the

166
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: forty two points and the fourteen assists and then the

167
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: eight boards. But it's is pretty special stuff we are

168
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: seeing here from Luca in his first what He's played

169
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: eleven games in the playoffs and he's averaging I don't know,

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: thirty two nine and nine one. I assume fifty forty

171
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: ninety tape splits or at least pretty close to that.

172
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: It's special. It's the ability to make the other guys

173
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: on his team better, where it does differ a little

174
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: different than maybe a choir Paul George. That's that's the truth.

175
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: That sort of makes them a little bit more special,

176
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: at least in today's game.

177
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 4: And it's the second time in the series they have

178
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: won a game where he hasn't had to take over

179
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 4: in the scoring of the fourth quarter. You know he

180
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: did that earlier in the series. But you know when

181
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: you look at the start of this game and Rick

182
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: Carlos says, I'm going to throw Boban in the starting lineup,

183
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 4: that to me is when a team is down three

184
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 4: to one and it's like, I'm just going to try anything,

185
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 4: and instead Boban I think was decent. Christaps Pausingis should

186
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: not be worse than Boban in a playoff game, and

187
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: I think Boban actually in his twenty minutes last night,

188
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: was better than Pauzingis. Now you can look at the

189
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: box and see when Porzingers was on the floor, they

190
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 4: were actually better than when Boban. But I just thought

191
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 4: Boba went out there, played a role and it was effective.

192
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: Anything you get from Boban is basically found money. Pauzingis

193
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: is supposed to be a legit star and he just

194
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: wasn't there. I didn't think last night, And I thought

195
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: Dwight Powell was good for them in that third quarter,

196
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: and Tim Hardaway hit some big shots. But when you

197
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 4: look at it, I mean, Luca took thirty seven shots

198
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 4: there last night. He's still carrying so much of that load.

199
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 4: Like without him, they seem lost, but he still is

200
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: able to control the game and just take it away

201
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: from the Clippers. And that's the real concern here for

202
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: the Clippers is they should have their box score. They

203
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: got great contributions from all their starters. You know, it

204
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 4: wasn't like it wasn't like it was just a one

205
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: man show out there. So they are losing because it

206
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: still seems more individualistic that the performances they're getting. But

207
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 4: even down to this end there, they were up ten

208
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: the MAVs there with it just over a minute or

209
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 4: so to go, and that layup from Nicholas. But to

210
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: how that didn't go in, how they didn't get a

211
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: tip to just get that ball to drop, is just

212
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: remarkable to me. But then Clippers get the ball, Tim

213
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: Hardaway hits the free throws and then Kawhi obviously throws

214
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: up the air ball there to win it. So this

215
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 4: is a weird series. I thought after Game four when

216
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: the Mavericks got blown out at home, I thought, surely no,

217
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: the Clippers now can understand. And again, you've got Bobann

218
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 4: out there. You can go past him if he's coming

219
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: out to defend, if he's stretching the floor a little bit.

220
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: But they weren't able to do that. They just don't

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: have that killer instinct in them for some reason. When

222
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: the series is in a pivotal moment like this game five,

223
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: give yourself a chance to close it at home, sorry

224
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: to close on the road, and then if you don't

225
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 4: do that, you get a chance to close at home.

226
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: Now they're in the last chance saloon. They have to

227
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 4: win two games hip and I mean I don't know.

228
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: I think, sure there are a chance in Dallas.

229
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: Why not?

230
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: I mean, they've been great out there, But will they

231
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: be able to finish the job back in Los Angeles.

232
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 4: It's a weird series. But Luca, for me, if that

233
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: neck injury was the real reason why they struggled in

234
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: Game four, he didn't look like it bothered him last night,

235
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: then the Mavericks should be able to finish game in Dallas.

236
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: Because he just was moving much better, shooting much better,

237
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 4: and look great out there. But when honestly, Pauzingis is

238
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: really starting to get on my nerves out there. Fourteen points,

239
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: he's fourteen points a game and four rebounds again, is

240
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 4: what he's putting up. I mean for a guy who's

241
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: supposed to be the Scottie Pippen to Lucas Michael, I mean,

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: he just is invisible for far too long.

243
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: Beat Dylan Brooks.

244
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: At least get use of fouls. Foul someone make an

245
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: impact on the game.

246
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: He had a big shot.

247
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: Okay, one shot, Let's give him one shot. But surely

248
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: that's you're expecting a lot more from your star player

249
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: than what you're getting from him. Last night again he

250
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: took Bobanan went three for six from the field. Pauzingis

251
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: went three for six from the field. Bobaran had seven rebounds,

252
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: Puzingis had six. I mean it's like that to me,

253
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 4: is just not good enough. Like Luca is really covering

254
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: over that huge, huge gap there that Pauzingis is not

255
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 4: filling in because he's the guy who's supposed to be. Like, okay,

256
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 4: when you know when Luca sits, then we got opposings

257
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: and he's just going to keep that school boat ticking.

258
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: But they kind of rely on him right now. It's

259
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: incredibly frustrating.

260
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's why you still couldn't

261
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: convince yourself, even if Luca is playing the best basketball

262
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: in all of the postseason right now, which you can

263
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: for surely make an argument for, you wouldn't pick the

264
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Mavericks to win a title, to even maybe even pull

265
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: off like a Lebron O seven sort of run to

266
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: the finals. I don't think you would, because it would

267
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: help if KP was Yeah, maybe not Pip and level,

268
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: you know, sidekick, but better than he has been. I

269
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: do agree with that, Lee. I mean that's where I

270
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: would struggle to still see them like, yeah, I mean,

271
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: they still got to win this series and then to

272
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: win a couple more to even get to the finals.

273
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, maybe Luca is Lebron here oh

274
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: seven style, you know. I think Sam Quinn at CBS

275
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: Sports was like comparing Luca's game last night in a

276
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: two to two series there in a big win on

277
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: the road over the Clippers to what Lebron did in

278
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Game five versus the Pistons in O seven sort of

279
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: as the underdog and that put them on the path

280
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to the finals. Now that's the iconic Lebron forty eight.

281
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: I think I was a double overtime game, but he

282
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: broke it down Sam did. Like you know, in that game,

283
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Lebron had it combined sixty four when you count the

284
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: points in the assist. Well, Luca, he had combined sixty

285
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: four when you count the points in the assist last

286
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: night the teammates, you know, Lebron got sixty one from

287
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: his squad. Luca got sixty three last night. The big

288
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: difference is Lebron scored like twenty nine of Cleveland's final thirty.

289
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: But like Trey said, Luca did have what his hand

290
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: in thirty one of the thirty seven total field goals,

291
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: And it was just sort of a flip of what

292
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: Lebron did in No. Seven, like he did all his

293
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: at the end, which is awesome and more impressive. Don't

294
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: get me wrong. Where Luca had that first quarter task

295
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: where you know he just like came out guns of blazing.

296
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: How many threes did he hit in the first quarter?

297
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: It was like something like four or something like that. Yeah,

298
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: I think he had four or five. I think he

299
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: was the first court, like, and he was smiling. It

300
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: was sort of creepy. He was laughing a lot last night.

301
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I thought, So anyway, there, I think my point is here,

302
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: and what Sam's making the point on CBS Sports is like, like,

303
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, is this is this the Lebron young

304
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: Lebron like run? But we could potentially see from Luca here.

305
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that far fetched with just the

306
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: amount of like importance this guy has and like the

307
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: touch he has on the game or the significance he

308
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: has in every possession, It's.

309
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: Possible for sure. I think the Western Conference right now

310
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: is stronger than the East was. Then I think he's

311
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 5: gonna have to to come across, you know, a couple

312
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: of teams, be it the next round, it's going to

313
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: be the Jazz, and then whether it's the Lakers or

314
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: the Suns or the Nuggets with Blazers, So I think

315
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to be as easy a

316
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: run if I remember correctly. Lebron, you know, obviously it

317
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 5: was absolutely incredible, but just watching this Clippers team kind

318
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: of fall apart. They had nine turnovers between their top

319
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: two guys, and Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, they still

320
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 5: had a.

321
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: Shot at the end.

322
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: They didn't play hard from game one of this series.

323
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 5: They were too cool for school. It's kind of hard

324
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 5: comparing O seven and twenty one and remembering the three

325
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: teams Lebron played. But I think one of these next

326
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 5: two teams, whoever they play, is going to be able

327
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: to to give it from the get go and their

328
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 5: stars will play a little bit more cohesive basketball and

329
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 5: be ready to go. And uh, yeah, understand that we've

330
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: got to get the ball out of Luca's hands a

331
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: little bit more, but yeah, definitely stepping up around him,

332
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: There's no doubt. But this game came down to one

333
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: play in the end and a Terrence Man I think, yeah,

334
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 5: he got it, got a little bit of the yips there,

335
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 5: he didn't want to lay it in, decided I'm I'm

336
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: a young player, I'm going to pass it back, and

337
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: Batum decided.

338
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: By the way, it was like a lot of traffic

339
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: there even to catch it.

340
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 5: It was a wild ending there, wild ending. Yeah, I'm

341
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: sure Kawhi was jumping around like he's j R. Smith

342
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: looking at Lebron James, give me the ball, uh, And

343
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: he didn't get it a Terrence Man probably should have

344
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: just laid it up. But yeah, it was a weird strange,

345
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: not a weird it's just it's it's probably uh, pretty

346
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 5: fitting for the Clippers to end it that way because

347
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 5: they just there's not all on the same page at

348
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 5: all times.

349
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: But you know, they did.

350
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 5: They they were thrown off by the Bolban thing because

351
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 5: they were shooting threes a ton to start the game.

352
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 5: But in the end, they shot a good percentage. They

353
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: all their guys contributed. It's just their top two guys were,

354
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 5: you know, not good enough. Lakwi didn't play a great

355
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: enough game. Paul George was pretty solid, but nine turnovers combined.

356
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: It's just, let's not playoff basketball, man.

357
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: So you've I thought the execution also on that last

358
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: play for Kawhi, like they ran them into the corner

359
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: for the three pointer with what I think there was

360
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: eight point eight seconds remaining when they had the inbounds,

361
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: they were down by three. They show the Chiron Clippers

362
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: one of the best three point shooting teams in NBA history.

363
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: We talked about it before the season. They're at forty

364
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: one percent. You're thinking, if any team's going to be

365
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: getting a good look at three here. It should be

366
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: the Clippers.

367
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: They just kind of ran a.

368
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: Blob light to get a guy super covered down in

369
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: the corner. Kawhi Leonard, like they're the Maverick were all

370
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: over him. It's like they knew the play was coming.

371
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: He just kind of had to chuck it up. And

372
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: then he got Rondo staring down Kawhi as they go

373
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 3: back to the bench.

374
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: That was weird stuff.

375
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know, this is where you need

376
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 3: your number one best three point play here. This is

377
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: where you need to go deep in your bag and

378
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: get something that works perfectly. And they ran a play

379
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: that got Kawhi Leonard covered in the corner. He wasn't

380
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: good enough. I didn't think last night. And if he's

381
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: not going to be your number one guy and Luca

382
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 3: is gonna be that kind of number one guy, it's

383
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: tough stuff for the Clippers.

384
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 5: One first seven from three, Reggie Jackson saved their ass.

385
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 5: I mean he was a monster in the third point

386
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 5: in the third quartery that was six threes overall. Yeah,

387
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 5: Kawhi was, Yeah, he was. He was one for six

388
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 5: at that point from three. When they decided to draw

389
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 5: that baby up after the Terrence man Nicolobitum debuckle, and yeah,

390
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 5: they needed a lot of saving to be done there.

391
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Phinney Smith did like he was there. It

392
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 4: was a good challenge for him, but Kawhi didn't. He

393
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 4: just sort of threw it up. He had a little

394
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 4: bit of time to at least try some other move,

395
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 4: but he didn't really he just turned around and flung

396
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: it up there straight away. So yeah, it was It

397
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: wasn't didn't seem to be like a great executed play.

398
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 4: Maybe that was how it was drawn up though. Just

399
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: wanted him in the corner. That's the Kawhi corner. Maybe

400
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 4: that Tyleru was gone for there. But yeah, I mean

401
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: it wasn't close. He didn't have a chance with that one.

402
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: It was ugly shot from someone who you expect, you know,

403
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: was going to get the ball. It's either him or

404
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: Paul George and it was missed by a mile. So

405
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: just the awful, awful end of the game for the Clippers.

406
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is scary here as this goes to six

407
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: for Clippers. You know it's in Dallas, okay, but the

408
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: road teams won every game here. Maybe that continues, But

409
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: I actually believe Luca when he's like, I didn't play

410
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: that well forty two to fourteen and eight, and he's

411
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: actually not wrong. I mean, he just had a bad

412
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: fourth couries, Like yeah, missing shots. I usually hit some

413
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: of his guys that he was setting up. They were

414
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: missing ones that they were normally knocked down. It's like

415
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: he could have a better game here in game six,

416
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't bet against it at this point. Test

417
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you saidn't know.

418
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 2: That was pretty awesome.

419
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: It was, But what I mean, I'm just not seeing anything.

420
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: They're not sawing them at all. I'm not sure anyone.

421
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: So I don't even want to just pick on the Clippers.

422
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: But like there are plays where like he's there was

423
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: a play where he took a pick, he dribbled into

424
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: the paint. Then he sort of just dribbled backwards and

425
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: turned around and flung up at three, okay, And there's

426
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: many other times there's like three or four Clippers within

427
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: one foot of them and he's just, you know, casually

428
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: confidently hitting a little floater in the paint. Like there's

429
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: really no one I've seen or any game plan has

430
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: been like oh that's gonna work, that'll that'll do it,

431
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: that's slowing them down nothing. So it's like, I don't

432
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: think it's that crazy to think he could do this

433
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: again or even a better game, because he's shot like

434
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: how many times thirty seven times game? You know, I'm

435
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: not the highest percentage. I don't know. This guy's creepy good.

436
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Right now, it's got to be deflating if you're if

437
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: you're Tyler and the clips to some extent, you're just

438
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: like praying at this point that he misses or then

439
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: like you're like, well, okay, now he got three guys

440
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: on him, Like, hey, well he's gonna zip a pass

441
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: to a guy that's open, that's capable, and we're just

442
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: gonna pray that he misses. Be it Tim Hardaway or

443
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: Phinney Smith or or whoever.

444
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, they got it.

445
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 5: They teams have to start treating him a little bit

446
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: more like Steph Curry and just never ever ever give

447
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: him space, like he is definitely doing the Steph Curry

448
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 5: thing where you remember the the classic highlight of Steph

449
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: dribbling through four clippers and then coming back to the

450
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: three point line and hitting a shot after you know

451
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: it was sort of shut down by four clippers and

452
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: he turns around and hits the shot. Like that's what

453
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 5: you're describing their skis. With Luca, it's kind of the

454
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 5: same thing. He's He's just like, you know, zip zip

455
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 5: zig zag. All right, I'll just go back out here

456
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: and lean and shoot. But they they they're not like

457
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 5: on him enough. I think that's what they have to

458
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 5: be pasted on.

459
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: Him a little bit more. I think the Clippers are.

460
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 5: Just you know, a little too cool, like, you know,

461
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 5: we'll we'll give him the three point shot because he

462
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 5: can hit everywhere else. But yeah, I think I think

463
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 5: there's there's yeah, there's just a little still a little

464
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 5: too much space for Luca. Just you got to treat

465
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 5: him like Steph, I think, and make uh, you know,

466
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 5: make it a little bit harder. I mean, I think

467
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 5: I think that was peak Luca. You know, it wasn't that. Yeah,

468
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: the best of percentages whatever, it is, forty four percent,

469
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: seventeen of thirty seven. But he had six threes, forty

470
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: two and fourteen and eight rebounds. I think there was

471
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 5: a reason he didn't have a good fourth quarter because

472
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 5: he was a little ghasted and because the Clippers were,

473
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 5: you know, a little bit a little bit more ready,

474
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 5: and he took some tough shots.

475
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.

476
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 5: So he walks off the floor like the competitor he is,

477
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 5: and he says, she, I should have been a little

478
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: bit better, But dude, you played forty three minutes. The

479
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 5: ball was in your hands every stinking possession. You're out

480
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 5: on the floor. You're coming off a little bit of

481
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 5: a stinger where you didn't look right you had. He

482
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 5: had an incredible game. But yeah, the Clippers are even

483
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 5: lucky that, you know, some of Tim Hardaway shots didn't

484
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 5: go in and some of Dorian Finney Smith's shots didn't

485
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 5: go in. Yeah, or else this would have been a

486
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 5: real blow up.

487
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought Dwight Powell actually played a good game

488
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: for the Mavericks two, just to show him a little love.

489
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: Being a game turning rebound in a third quarter.

490
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: I thought he had a humongus offensive rebound, kicked it

491
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: out to Tim Hardaway Junior THJ hits a three, and

492
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: I don't think that the Mavericks trailed after that.

493
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Hight Powell was great.

494
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: They got contributions from their role players, even if it

495
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 3: was basically just Luca out there doing the majority of

496
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: the scoring and the creation.

497
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, Luca star.

498
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: Of the game. Second star of the game for the

499
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: Mavericks has to be the massage therapist who got his

500
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: shoulder backs.

501
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, man.

502
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 3: We were like, I don't know, I'm in this daily

503
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 3: fantasy thing with the top shot hot boys and girls

504
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: and the no dunks.

505
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: Discord.

506
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: I didn't play Luca last night because he was coming

507
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: in probable. It's like, we don't know what it's going

508
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 3: to be, especially after the way Game four had ended,

509
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: and then he just says, yeah, my shoulders actually fine,

510
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: put the whole team on him.

511
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

512
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: I know it's unbelievable, and I actually, I mean, I

513
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: know you might be right tasks, but I believe him.

514
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: I was like, no, he can actually play better. Maybe

515
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: it happens in game six or potentially a game seven.

516
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: I actually think he can, which is insane that he's

517
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: at this level right now. Let's keep it moving, Let's

518
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: go to the Jazz. They took care of business earlyly

519
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: they're moving on to the second round. Crushed the Grizzlies

520
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: in Game five, So Memphis is now out of the

521
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: playoffs or you takeaways either from this game. The Grizzly

522
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: season in a nutshell where you want.

523
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 4: To go well clinical closeout game and an end to

524
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 4: a series. It started off pretty much in the worst

525
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 4: possible way, you know, a home loss in the franchise

526
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: start not playing and calling out his own team. But

527
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: that now does seem quite a long time ago, as

528
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 4: the Jazz are comfortably through here to the second round

529
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: and they get now at least probably three or four

530
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: days off to prepare for their next opponent, maybe even

531
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: longer depending on what happens here with the Clippers and

532
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: the MAVs series. The only real concern for them is

533
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: Mike Conley left this game with hamstring tightness. He didn't return,

534
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 4: but this is also the same injury that cost him

535
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 4: to miss quite a few weeks toward the end of

536
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 4: the season there, so they will obviously be hoping for

537
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 4: a seven game series. I think between the Clips and

538
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 4: the MAVs, to give him a little bit of extra

539
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: time to get that right now, I think, considering the

540
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: stage of the game, there's no need to bring you

541
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: back either. But really, when you look at what happened

542
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: with the Jazz last season down there in the bubble,

543
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: obviously they had a three to one lead and they

544
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 4: blew it. It wasn't even close. This one was a

545
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 4: twenty point game. In the first quarter, they put up

546
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: forty seven on the Grizzlies and it was from there.

547
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 4: They basically just ran out the clock and the Grizzlies fought,

548
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: you know, good on them. They kept in it. They

549
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: didn't they didn't quit by any means. But the Jazz

550
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 4: were the better team in this series, and as the

551
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: longer this series went on, I think they really showed that. Obviously,

552
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 4: having Donovan Mitchell for the final four games certainly helped

553
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: he look great again. The three pointers were working and

554
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 4: dropping for them, and you know, I think I think

555
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 4: that's the thing. The Grizzlies took advantage of this, of

556
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: the sort of chaos there in Game one and the

557
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: momentum they had of just getting into the playoffs, and

558
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: the Jazz realized, Okay, it's time to time to get

559
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: you know, get down to it, and they did and

560
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 4: really showed they were a much better team. So they

561
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 4: do now no matter who they face. Of course, they're

562
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 4: going to be at home, so they're going to be rested.

563
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 4: And if it's the Clips or MAVs, one of those

564
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: teams is basically probably only going to have a day

565
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 4: or two off from their last game to get ready

566
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: for a team that, outside of Conley, is fresh and

567
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 4: ready and really starting to play good ball at both

568
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 4: ends of floor. So it's going to be tough. So

569
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: it's a great position for the Jazz to be in again,

570
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 4: considering how this here's it wasn't an auspicious stat for

571
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 4: them there because they certainly didn't want to be in

572
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: that position. But in the end, they take care of

573
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: business and we say goodbye to the Grizzlies, who really

574
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: entertained us quite a lot this season and they were

575
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 4: fun to watch, but we're really punching above their white

576
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: going up against a team like the Jazz.

577
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jazz scored on sixteen of their first nineteen possessions

578
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: in this game last night, eight for ten from three

579
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: point land. It was over very, very quickly. Mitchell was

580
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: awesome tasks right from the jump. That was a good

581
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: word there, league clinical closeout game. I like that, And

582
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: even with his allergies that Donovan Mitchell's dealing with that

583
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: he talked about after the game, he was pretty impressive.

584
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: And then everybody was just raining in threes. Clarkson had

585
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: a good run there. Colbert had a good game as well.

586
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: What do you think of Memphis season though? Tasks as

587
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: we say goodbye to them here for at least a

588
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: couple months and start talking about what they'll be doing

589
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: in the off season where they go from here, Like

590
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 1: this was a successful season, that's fair to say, right,

591
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: and get those playoff reps for these young guys.

592
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 5: Great season for the Grizzlies, a great model for them,

593
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 5: looking across the floor, looking at that Jazz team that's

594
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 5: developed from within. A terrible ending there, giving up seventy

595
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 5: five first half points to the Utah Jazz team and

596
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: then yeah, they couldn't fight back from there. But it's

597
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 5: got to feel good for the Grizzlies going into the offseason.

598
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 5: Their biggest decision is should we pick up Justice Winslow's

599
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 5: team option. I mean, they have what they have, you know,

600
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 5: under contract, they have what they want going forward, So

601
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: they got to be pretty pumped, just like everybody else.

602
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 5: Gotta be pretty pumped watching this Jazz team roll. What

603
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: a great recovery after that that Donovan Mitchell situation that

604
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 5: he was out the first game, and yeah, the whole

605
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 5: back and forth with the trainer and then they roll

606
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 5: the four straight wins. That's great for everybody involved because

607
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 5: now we're talking about this Clippers MAVs series series and

608
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: whether Luca can get there. I think you can, you know,

609
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 5: talk about so many teams of the Western Conference and say,

610
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: who the heck is.

611
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: Going to win this thing? Yeah, Like it's wide open.

612
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 5: So there should be a high level of curiosity for

613
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 5: the average NBA fan looking at the second round, the

614
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: third round, and even into the finals. No matter what

615
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 5: people say about the Nets Bucks Series, whether or not

616
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 5: that is going to dictate who the champion is, I

617
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: think there's gonna be lots of curiosity after that. I

618
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 5: think it's, you know, watching this Jazz team role the

619
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 5: way they did. He heightens everybody, like, you know, no

620
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: one know what outside Utah is really taking the Jazz

621
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 5: seriously as a championship winner. No one's really picking them.

622
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 5: Everybody's sort of waiting for somebody to pick them off.

623
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 5: But it's great to see them roll the way they

624
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 5: are and hopefully Conley's fine. But I think the fact

625
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 5: that they're playing well and there's so many teams in

626
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: the West, so many teams in the East going into

627
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 5: the second round.

628
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: Just it helps.

629
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 5: It helps the casual fan get into it. You know,

630
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 5: the Lebron injury and Anthony Davis injury also helps. But yeah,

631
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 5: it just feels like it's flat right now.

632
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 2: I know the odds are.

633
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 5: In the nets favor to win this thing right now,

634
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 5: and then it's you know, the Lakers are still around,

635
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 5: but it's flattening out, and that's awesome for basketball fans.

636
00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: It's awesome for us too.

637
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we lose both LA teams over the next

638
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: two nights, Trey, Yeah, we'll be looking at a sort

639
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: of a wild team coming out of the West. It

640
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: would be down to what Utah, Dallas, we still have Denver, Portland,

641
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: and then it would be Phoenix in that scenario if

642
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: LA team the LA teams lose over the next two nights,

643
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: with the Lakers playing tonight and then the Clippers playing

644
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: on Friday night. But what did you think of the

645
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Jazz dominant victory here or dominant series really after Game

646
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: one or the Grizzlies and what they do moving forward,

647
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: what they need to work on. What do you think?

648
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: Well?

649
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: I thought the Jazz were honestly incredible in this series.

650
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: Game five very similar to Game two where They came

651
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 3: out and took care of business basically right away, and

652
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: the game was over almost as soon as it started.

653
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: And that's kind of been the jazz m O this series.

654
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: We had to deal with the Donovan Mitchell drama in

655
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: Game one because apparently he was right, his trainers were right.

656
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: He should have been able to go because he has

657
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: been lighting up the Grizzlies in this series. He was incredible.

658
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: He didn't look rusty at all. Maybe a little bit

659
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: in that game too, but he was great last Night

660
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: thirty and what he ended up with tennisists as well

661
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: as for the Grizzlies, you know, I think are great season.

662
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: They went a little further than they did last year.

663
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: They made it to the real playoffs, they got a

664
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: playoff win, and they played this season without Jaron Jackson

665
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: Junior for the majority of the season. He only played

666
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: eleven games. He really struggled in the playoffs. And I

667
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: think that that is gonna be huge to watch for

668
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies next year because I'm seeing in the stream

669
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: team a lot of people are comparing Chris STAPs to

670
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: Jaron Jackson Junior. They're both good outside shooters, they're both

671
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: big guys who have a lot of defensive potential. They

672
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: both follow a lot and sometimes they seem a little

673
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: bit contacted. Verse. Jaw's gonna need a number two next

674
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: to him, just like Luca does, and it's got to

675
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: be and if it's gonna be a big guy who

676
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: can stretch the court and shoot threes, he's got to

677
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: be able to mix it up a little bit inside

678
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: as well. So the Jaron Jackson junior development is gonna

679
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: be huge for me over the summer. He's got to

680
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: stay healthy next season. He's got to be able to

681
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: actually put together a full.

682
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Season on the court.

683
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: But I would still optimistic about the Grizzlies. I'm still

684
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: a big JJJ fan. And obviously Josh showed out in

685
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: his first real playoff appearance.

686
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was. He was fantastic. And then you

687
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: found this sort of like, I mean, some people knew,

688
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: but Dylan Brooks obviously having some moments in a playoff series,

689
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: like he's of course going to be a rotational player

690
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: for your squad, and how hard he plays and how

691
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: he gets under the team's other team's skin, and he

692
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: can give you some buckets when he catches on fire.

693
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: And then even rookies. I think, like in Desmond Bain

694
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: has looked good at times during the season, and Tilman's

695
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: had moments. Yeah, they're like they always are bringing it up, right.

696
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: They're one of the youngest squads where they were I

697
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: guess the youngest squad in terms of average age in

698
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So yeah, you're you're pretty confident moving forward.

699
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: But Jared Jackson Junior is the big, big question mark,

700
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: Like you're right, Tray is is he a potential star?

701
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Can he just stay on the floor, can he stay healthy?

702
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: And what can he do to pair with John Moran?

703
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: Or is he or is he not that? And I mean, look,

704
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: Valentunis was awesome this year. Can Valentunis continue to do this? Like, no,

705
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: he's not like a stall.

706
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: Honestly, that's a little bit of a problem for the Grizzlies. Like,

707
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: Valentiunis had an incredible season. He was probably the Grizzlies

708
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: MVP this season, the way he held it down inside,

709
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: the toughness he brought to him, the veteran ship, and

710
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: the consistency being there every single night. But if Jonas

711
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: Valanciunas is your second best player in the Western Conference,

712
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: you're probably going to be stuck in that playing tournament

713
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: for a while.

714
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: They need their lottery picks to really pan out. Yeah,

715
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean this guy averaged seventeen and thirteen basically this year.

716
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: Valentiunis did what's his contract situation test? Do you have

717
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: it in front of you? I don't remember where he is.

718
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: Is he coming up for another pay day soon?

719
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: They just really signed him.

720
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's locked up for fourteen million next year as well. Okay,

721
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: so yeah, he did the three year forty five back

722
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen, So hell of a deal for he owned

723
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: his Valentinis, isn't it when you think about that, it's.

724
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: A good contract.

725
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So see, great great season for the Grizzlies,

726
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: and yet at least we got John Moran in a

727
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: couple of playoff games, which nobody's going to be upset about,

728
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: and he had some awesome, awesome games going up against

729
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: the number one team in the West and the Utah Jazz.

730
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: The one good thing the Grizzlies gave us while they

731
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: said goodbye too was a weggie from Jared Jackson Junior.

732
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a sign of things to come for next year.

733
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: Look at this snowflake wo so unique. Yeah, the alleoop

734
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: wedgie like sort of tip tip tip allop. Yeah there,

735
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: John Moran throwing it to triple j nice shock. Great

736
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: camera worked there. From the TNT broadcast fifty six we

737
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: stand out right now, I mean sixties in play. We're

738
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: not even out of the first round. Oh, I'd love

739
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: to get one more first round wedding. That would be nice,

740
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: and then maybe just try and get at least one

741
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: in every sort of round for the rest of the way.

742
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: That would get us the sixty. The math would work

743
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: out there. So good on you, Jared Jackson Junior for

744
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: sticking wedgie fifty six.

745
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: And seeing that alleoop the lob for the tip reminded

746
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 3: me we should have had a nice lap about that

747
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: Luca allioop that he caught on a fast break where

748
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: he just was running run like he's ready for a

749
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: big duck, just guided it in gently.

750
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: That was very nice to a couple of sweet tip

751
00:32:58,680 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: oops last.

752
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 4: Night, because that's even at an you don't usually get

753
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: the one handed hoop. It's usually the two hand catch

754
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 4: and then the layout.

755
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: So well, did you see John Collins.

756
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: Last night?

757
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was cool. You get caught it on the

758
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: one side and then in one motion like turned and

759
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: flicked it off the glass. That was amazing. Good night

760
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: for oops Wedgie's included. Okay, let's take a quick break

761
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: before we get to the other games from last night.

762
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: Shaka Laca in the stream team says, the three sixty

763
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: fart that I do, the jump fart is worse than

764
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: I assume. He means picking your ear and then smelling. Yeah, no,

765
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: it's not. No way, no, no way, no. What I

766
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: am doing is comical. It is harmless. There's no smell. Actually,

767
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: it's it's like it's almost like it's a sound effect

768
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 1: that's been added. Uh, purely audio.

769
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: You're whirling, whirling it away like whatever smell there is just.

770
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: God god, it's like an airplane.

771
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

772
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: But uh, okay, does anybody else pick their ears and

773
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: smell the wax? I guess that they've dug out tray.

774
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: I haven't done the smelling part, But smelling your ear

775
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: wax is getting honestly great reviews. In the stream team.

776
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: People are like, oh, yeah, you gotta smell it. You

777
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: gotta get a whiff of that wax. I don't know why,

778
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: so I guess I'm behind the curve here. My only

779
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 3: wax thoughts are like, I haven't used the Q tip

780
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: ever since Task told me not to, but I think

781
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go fingers and sniffs.

782
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: No, yeah, nothing bigger than your finger, I'm told. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

783
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: always said always said that, saying that. Yeah, sure, sure

784
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: doctors said it to but until tests said that's what

785
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: I really believed it. I unfortunately still don't listen to

786
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: doctor's orders or tasks orders because I love the feeling

787
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: of a Q tip of a cleaning in ear with

788
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: a cue. God, that's a great sensation me too.

789
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm never giving it up, no way. Sorry.

790
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'd rather go deaf, I guess, than give

791
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: up that sensation.

792
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 2: I'll be there in the hospital for you, JD.

793
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 5: I'll pick my ear wax and lets you smell it

794
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 5: while you're sitting in your hospital. Then after you punctured

795
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 5: your ear drum with a cue tip, true friend, I mean,

796
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 5: the thing is, you're an audio man, JD. You could

797
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 5: be shoving that Q tip in there and not and

798
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 5: not just puncturing your ear drum.

799
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean that could be a slip.

800
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 5: Up, but you could flick a piece of wax onto

801
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 5: your ear drum. It would be there permanently, and then

802
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 5: you would be hearing Leellis's voice as you edit. Just

803
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 5: reverberate on your ear drum over just oh man, that

804
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 5: would be be rough, be rough for you.

805
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: It would just what would you do?

806
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 5: Just play DJ and just take one uh here, yeah,

807
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: headphone off your your ear?

808
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: Maybe all right like that? I don't mind it.

809
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: Actually that's cool too. Okay, let's get to the night there.

810
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: That sort of took a weird turn, didn't it. Our

811
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: next game, tryon score thirty six points. The Hawks finish

812
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: off the Knicks in Game five. Yes, in MSG, this

813
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: one is over. I was wrong. We thought it was

814
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: going seven. No, no, no, the Hawks win in five. TK.

815
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: Take it away, man, what's your big takeaway?

816
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 3: Yeah? Coming into this series, Skeets, like you're saying, felt

817
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 3: like a coin flip, had a few knicks and seven picks.

818
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: Hawks the more talented team.

819
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: Not very much experience, but they really got going in

820
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: the second half the season. The Knicks probably overachieved during

821
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 3: the year, but they had an identity and they had

822
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: the Godden seemed like it was gonna be a major

823
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: factor in this series. A large part of why I

824
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: went Knicks and seven turns out the Garden was a

825
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 3: huge factor in reverse because for the third time this series,

826
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: Trey Young fed off the Garden's energy, gave him thirty something,

827
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: then taunted the crowd another star making performance for Ice

828
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: Tray thirty six points nine assists, joining Michael Jordan as

829
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 3: the only visiting players with three straight thirty point games

830
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: at Madison Square Garden in the playoffs, and it came

831
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: with another perfect bit of trash talk. Trey Young hits

832
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: a step back thirty footer as the Garden crowd is

833
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: giving the Knicks a standing ovation for their incredible season,

834
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: then hits them with a gentlemanly bow at half court.

835
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 3: Even Reggie Miller was like, this guy is Reggie Miller

836
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: two point zero. After the game, Trey Young said, I

837
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 3: know there are a lot of shows in this city,

838
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: and I know what they do when the show is over.

839
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: Incredible from Trey Young to rise to the moment, to

840
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 3: show up in the moment like that, to put the

841
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: team on his back, to get a huge win, to

842
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: lock it down, and then to go out with an

843
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 3: incredible taunt. That's gonna make Knicks fans love this guy

844
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: for the entirety of his career. Great stuff from Trey Young,

845
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: but honestly a great team win for the Hawks. I

846
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: thought John Collins was excellent last night, playing that defense,

847
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: giving you some physicality. Clint Capella called out the Knicks,

848
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: said we're gonna go into Madison Square Garden.

849
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: Beat you and the series is over. And then he

850
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: did it.

851
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: Dominated inside. DeAndre Hunter had some timely shots. He was

852
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: a big part of the defense on Julius Randall as well.

853
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 3: Kevin Herder's defense was good. He made some plays and

854
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: Nyeka Akonglu even got a few minutes here, had a

855
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: huge block, some big offensive rebounds. The Hawks were locked

856
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: in last night. They took care of business. Incredible win

857
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: in Game five and a great series for Atlanta.

858
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I got a little spicy there at halftime too,

859
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: uh Lee where nerlens Noel?

860
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: I believe it was.

861
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: Through the shoulder into Trey Young as they're sort of

862
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: crossing pass and you know, Trey brushed it off. He

863
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: had a good laugh about it. But I like Solomon

864
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Hill actually, you know saw it happen coming behind treyon Okay, well,

865
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: I'll step to you. They're not gonna be upset if

866
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: I get a teck or they lose me for the

867
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: second half, So got to stick up from my guy.

868
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: I honestly love that. I love to see that, especially

869
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: when it's like the star player that's like trying to

870
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: get like intimidated or whatever pushed around a little bit.

871
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: You gotta have ave guy to say no, no, you're

872
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. You're not gonna punk our guy.

873
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: But this was an awesome win from the because they

874
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: didn't even shoot that well. I mean, it wasn't so

875
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: this is not the prettiest game I've ever watched, for sure,

876
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: both teams struggling to shoot the ball, but yeah, that

877
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: second half they just wouldn't relinquish to leave. They sort

878
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: of had an answer for every time the Knicks sort

879
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: of like made a little bit of noise, a couple

880
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: of baskets in a row. It would be like a

881
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Lou Williams, you know, Corner three was big and like

882
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: the Hunter one. Like Trey said, they just had always

883
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: an answer, which sometimes with Atlanta sports, the butt cheeks

884
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: get real tight, clench up, you're like, uh, oh, how's

885
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta gonna blow this? But not at all. It was

886
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: sort of pretty dominant there in the second.

887
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: Half, the Knicks offense just didn't have enough variety. In

888
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 4: the Hawk's defense, I thought it was really good guys

889
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 4: contesting shots, grabbing rebounds, and just making it very difficult.

890
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 4: They got a lot of Reggie Bullock early, which was

891
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 4: fine for the Knicks. He can shoot the three, but

892
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 4: really we're wondering where that offense was coming from. Derek

893
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 4: Rose has been their best player this season, you know,

894
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 4: he was or in this series. Julius Randall finished with

895
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 4: a decent line, but he really got going at all

896
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 4: in this series. I thought the Hawks did are just

897
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 4: a fantastic job on him, and outside of that, they

898
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 4: just didn't have enough creators. It was more just kind

899
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 4: of getting j Barrett three. Manual quickly gave him some threes,

900
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 4: but there was no real sort of solid way of

901
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 4: the team scoring. And then on the other end, the

902
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: Hawks did have guys who contributing. Kevin Hurd it was

903
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: pretty good for them in this series. He scored a

904
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 4: couple of times off the bench. Trey obviously set the

905
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: table for everyone. John Collins stayed on the court and

906
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 4: he was much better as this series went on, and

907
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 4: they just you know, Lou Williams was good coming off

908
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 4: the bench, giving them what they needed. And I think

909
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: Nate McMillan called on Trey a little earlier in that

910
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: fourth quarter last night. He was like, let's just close

911
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 4: this one. And Lou hit a three, but he wanted

912
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 4: to just make sure this one didn't slip away. And

913
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 4: even you know, in the last sort of three or

914
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: four minutes where it looked pretty comfortable, it was just

915
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 4: like the Knicks just weren't able to find any sort

916
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 4: of way of getting inside to get an easy basket,

917
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 4: and the Hawks always always had an answer. DeAndrea Hunter

918
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 4: hit a big three, So you know, it was just

919
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: a really impressive series here from Atlanta the whole way,

920
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 4: considering Tree young again, first time in the playoffs and

921
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 4: his first series in Madison Square Garden, and he apart

922
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 4: from Game two that they lost and they kind of

923
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 4: blew that one when they led by nearly twenty points

924
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 4: in it, other than that, I mean, he was not intimidated,

925
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 4: not afraid of the moment to hit those big shots,

926
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 4: and he didn't just fall in love with the three

927
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 4: point of this series. So many times it was like

928
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: if there was a defender out, he was like I'm

929
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 4: just going to cook this guy and go right past

930
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: him and going for those sort of Steve Nashy. It's

931
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 4: like scoopy layups there, and he was very effective doing

932
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 4: that and finding his guys on the perimeter. So just

933
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 4: a very very impressive performance. Is going to get much

934
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: tougher for him, I think in the second round. But

935
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 4: for his first time in the playoffs, outstanding performance. And

936
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 4: that little halftime incident you talk about there with Nel Noel,

937
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean, wasn't an accident. Noel was trying to send

938
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 4: him a message and then Trey sort of looked back

939
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 4: at first to be like, oh, somebe just bumped into me.

940
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 4: Then he just did the yard like.

941
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: You see.

942
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 4: It was like he's wearing a suit.

943
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: It reminded me of the movie.

944
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 4: Kan Air where Cameron Poe gets shot in the arm

945
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 4: and he just shakes it off like that. He just

946
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 4: keeps on more. But I mean, honestly, they like, like

947
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 4: what a way to get your playoff career underway. In

948
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 4: Madison Square, the crowd basically ran out of chance. They

949
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 4: had nothing to chance, like we can't channe at him anymore.

950
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 4: They I think they went with the trays Baalding when

951
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 4: the game was basically over there. But it was like

952
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: even then, the crowd wasn't really that there was not

953
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 4: the same verocity of is that the word verocity in

954
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 4: their voice. They weren't like those first us that's it, yeah,

955
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 4: really trying to get him off his game. Instead, they

956
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 4: were kind of like, we can't, guys, he's going to

957
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: cook us if we do this, so instead let's just

958
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: try to, you know, make fun of him because he

959
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 4: is thinning a little bit on top. But at that

960
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: point it didn't really matter. Super super impressive and super

961
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 4: happy for Nate McMillen. Honestly, yeah again playoff series, No,

962
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 4: he hasn't. And I said yesterday, you know I was

963
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 4: wrong about him. He's done a very very good job

964
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 4: organizing that team and keeping them stable and just you know,

965
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 4: throughout this whole series, they've never ever really looked like

966
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 4: they've been out of control at all. And the Knicks,

967
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 4: apart from that one surge in really Game two, the

968
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 4: Hawks have been in complete control of this series.

969
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: Task anything to add to.

970
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 5: This, Yeah, it's always funny with a coach who hasn't

971
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 5: had success, people label him as a loser. Nate McMillan

972
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 5: can't win. Well, you get the better team, you win,

973
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 5: and now you're a good coach again. So great for

974
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 5: Nate McMillian. You did it, and you did it because

975
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 5: Trey Young played like himself from game one. He took

976
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 5: on the challenge. He did the shoulders shrug from game one.

977
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 5: They tried to rattle him over and over and over again. Yeah,

978
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 5: the nerlans, no weel bump. Everybody trying to get under

979
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 5: his skin.

980
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: That was their goal.

981
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: He didn't get shooken at all. He didn't get shaken whatsoever.

982
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 5: And Julius Randall did, I mean he didn't. He came

983
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: into his first playoff performance and yeah, he didn't play

984
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 5: well one game he didn't.

985
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, Like this guy an awesome year he was.

986
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: He might be at the end of it on some

987
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: people's top five MVP lists. He'd probably be an All

988
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: NBA player. He had an awesome, awesome year. He was

989
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: horrible in this series. It got to the point every

990
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: game and you saw it last night. I thought it

991
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: was like He's just like I can't possibly keep missing,

992
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: so I'll just keep shooting very difficult shots and it's like, oh.

993
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, yeah, just kidd he actually had his best

994
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 5: field goal percentage of the series, which wasn't a good night.

995
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,959
Speaker 5: But the reason why, even though Trey Young really didn't

996
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 5: have a good night shooting it, he was ten of

997
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 5: twenty eight thirty five percent. That's not good, no, but

998
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 5: Julius Randall kept giving the ball back to the Hawks.

999
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 5: He had eight turnovers. And so even if you look

1000
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 5: at the raw numbers and said, yeah, that was Julius

1001
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 5: Randall's best game, it wasn't because he just kept giving

1002
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 5: it back over and over and over again.

1003
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: Eight turnovers. That for a get a lot of turnovers.

1004
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 5: So one guy stepped up to the big bright lights

1005
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 5: and Julius Randall, who's desperately needed because this Nick's offense

1006
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 5: it's anemic, you know when when Julius Randalds got it going,

1007
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 5: so they needed him. And yeah, Trey Young showed, you know,

1008
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 5: throw the series how good he is. But even when

1009
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 5: he had a bad night. I think the fact that

1010
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 5: that offense is just it's pretty stacked, you know, like

1011
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 5: John Collins, I think it was a trickle down effect.

1012
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 2: Maybe John Collins didn't come in with a very good.

1013
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 5: Series and in his opening playoff appearance, but I think

1014
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 5: it's a trickle down effect of Trey Young's confidence and

1015
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 5: then everybody starts rolling and then John Collins got going

1016
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 5: at the end of the series here. So when they

1017
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 5: face the Sixers next round, it's just key to to

1018
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 5: start the series off well and hopefully Trey does the

1019
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 5: same thing, doesn't get shook from day one and can

1020
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 5: keep it going and it gets down to everybody else

1021
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: on that talented, talented roster.

1022
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, we'll make our predictions for that series and

1023
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: really break it down in detail on tomorrow's Drop podcast.

1024
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a lot different for Trey on

1025
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: playing the Sixers with the amount of length and defensive

1026
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: guys tray that they can throw on him. In Simmons

1027
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: of course, could be at him at times, matist Stiebel

1028
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: could just be given that the opportunity to try and

1029
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: him up. Gonna a lot different than what the a

1030
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: great defensive the Knicks team. But like just those guys

1031
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: as solo defenders, one on one defenders with the size

1032
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: that they have instill the speed. UH fascinated to see

1033
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: if Trey Young and Nate McMillan can sort of figure

1034
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: it out and unlock him. Still in that series.

1035
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I still have confidence that Trey Young can

1036
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 3: perform against both Ben Simmons and Mistis Thible. We've seen

1037
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 3: in the past that if there's one weakness a guy

1038
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 3: like Ben Simmons has, it's a tiny, shifty guard. And

1039
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 3: that's exactly what Trey Young is going to be, just

1040
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 3: because I mean, Simmons is able to give a little

1041
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 3: bit of space because he has the length to be

1042
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 3: able to challenge the shots. But you know, Tray's gonna

1043
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 3: have a little bit of a quickness advantage on them.

1044
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: It's just going to be on him to figure out

1045
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 3: how to use it in this next series. But the

1046
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 3: chest match of that is going to be incredible, because,

1047
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 3: like you're saying, Simmons can take some turns on Trey

1048
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 3: Young and surely his size will present some problems for

1049
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: Tray at some point. And then when he gets tired, Hey,

1050
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 3: here's Mattis Thibel, another guy who might even be a

1051
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: better perimeter defender there. So and that's without even thinking

1052
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 3: maybe Danny Green will get a chance here, But I

1053
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 3: don't know. Boy On bo Don Bogdanovic didn't have a

1054
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 3: huge game last night. He's been pretty instrumental for the

1055
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 3: Hawks in the second half of the season. But you know,

1056
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: the Sixers are going to have a guy to be

1057
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 3: able to throw on him as well. So it'll be

1058
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 3: interesting to see just how efficient of looks Trey Young

1059
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 3: is able to get against the Sixers. Cause, coming into

1060
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: this series, we thought maybe he would struggle a little

1061
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: bit with the Knicks defense. They have been harassing guards

1062
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: for the entire season. Was not a problem at all

1063
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 3: for Trey Young and Roden One.

1064
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and will the Sixers, unlike the Knicks, go at

1065
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: Trey Young on the other end too. I mean we

1066
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: talked about it. Trey Young didn't have to do anything defensively.

1067
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean most of the time he was on Reggie Bullock.

1068
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, we'll stay on him. He's

1069
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: not driving, he's not attacking. You know, he might hit

1070
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: some threes, but we'll live with that. Like you said, Lee,

1071
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: and he hit a couple. He was keeping the Knicks

1072
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: sort of like in this game, if you want to say,

1073
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: early in the game. But I'm excited to see the

1074
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: Doc River and the Sixers. I imagine they're going to

1075
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: try and put Trey Young in a lot more action

1076
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: on the defense end and try and tire him out

1077
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: that way, and you know, try to exploit him because

1078
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: that's his one weakness of course, defensive because of the

1079
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: size issues and stuff like that. So can't wait. We'll

1080
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: get to it in a greater detail tomorrow. But as

1081
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: before we wrap up here, what do you make of

1082
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: your New York next season?

1083
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: There?

1084
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: Lee forty one wins the fourth seed? You know again

1085
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: Julius Randall like sort of playing at an all NBA level,

1086
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: or resurgence of Derek Rose, you know, TIBs culture there

1087
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: give it agreed? How would you gred the next season?

1088
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 4: A B plus? I think for sure, I mean, a

1089
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 4: much better result than I think maybe a lot of

1090
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 4: us expected as far as getting home court in that

1091
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 4: first round obviously didn't work all that well for them

1092
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 4: in the end, but Thibodeau came in and did have

1093
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 4: an immediate impact, and that's kind of what he has

1094
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 4: done in the past. The question going forward will be

1095
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 4: will he be able to continue to have such an

1096
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 4: impact in his next couple of seasons there? If he can,

1097
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 4: then I think the Knicker on the right path. The

1098
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 4: one concern is that Derek Rose at thirty two came

1099
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 4: in and really was a lot maybe their second best

1100
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 4: player down the stretch, and that's where I think they

1101
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 4: need to improve. I think r J. Barrett showed some

1102
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 4: real potential this season. Obviously, Julius Randall, if he finishes

1103
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 4: an All NBA season, that'll be fantastic for him, and

1104
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 4: I think he's going to get better as well next season,

1105
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 4: and this playoff experience should make him better realizing that

1106
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 4: he has to improve and up his game come playoff time.

1107
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 4: I think Mitchell Robinson's a big big thing for them

1108
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 4: as well. I think they missed him in this series.

1109
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 4: He's a big athletic guy who can impact the game

1110
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 4: on both ends for them. And really they had Taje

1111
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 4: Gibson and Nelan's Noela as the centerpiece for this team

1112
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: as their centers, and I think Mitchell Robinson does improve them.

1113
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 4: So I think Emmanual Quickly was a great draft pick.

1114
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 4: He's shown that he can be an impactful player, kind

1115
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 4: of like his hero Lou Williams, I think, being a

1116
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 4: six man coming off the bench. So they've got some

1117
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 4: pieces there and certainly they want to build on this

1118
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 4: and they need to be better next season. They'll come

1119
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,479
Speaker 4: in with higher expectations, but they kept their draft picks.

1120
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 4: They didn't make any silly mistakes this season. Their salary

1121
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 4: cap sheet is pretty open, so they are in a

1122
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 4: much better position than they have been in years gone by.

1123
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 4: And I think overall, considering where the Knicks have been

1124
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 4: for so long, this was a remarkable success for them.

1125
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: Yep, I would agree with that. It's just unfortunately I

1126
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: think that Randall season ended thuy it did here after

1127
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: an awesome seventy two games to have these sk here

1128
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But a lot of credit does have

1129
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: to go to the Hawks. And I thought Hunter was

1130
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: awesome a lot oft times, and he's a great, great

1131
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: defender despite giving up a little bit of size to Randall. Anyway,

1132
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: good series. Thought it would go seven, but the Hawks, ha,

1133
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm moving on and they'll play the Sixers. Because the

1134
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: final game last night without embiid, Sixers rolled past the

1135
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: Wizards and into the second round. I laughed so hard

1136
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,720
Speaker 1: at one of the opening lines in the AP report

1137
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: for this game, man, I felt just old. I guess

1138
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: reading this Ben Simmons, it says challenged Seth Curry during

1139
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: an afternoon call of duty session to score thirty points

1140
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: and send the seventy six ers into the next round

1141
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. These guys are hanging out playing Call

1142
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: of Duty. Yeah, Ben Simmons, like, come on, seth drop

1143
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: at thirty tonight, No EMBIID, go get it man?

1144
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 3: Hey.

1145
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: Also nice shot, nice snipe there. I just like was

1146
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 1: starting to think about, like, I don't know what would

1147
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: be the equivalent. I guess like Scottie Pippen telling John

1148
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: Paxson to go out and drop fifteen while they were

1149
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: playing like Tar years, So I don't know. Yeah, yeah,

1150
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: I guess.

1151
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 3: They were right, Like that's the thing is, like you

1152
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 3: would go out and golf or in the nineteen nineties.

1153
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 3: Now you're just hopping on and playing some Call of Duty.

1154
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 3: I thought the exact same thing, skeets, Like somebody's gonna

1155
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: go back in thirty years and be like, what this

1156
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 3: is the lead here? These guys were chatting during a

1157
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 3: video game and then it went out and played out

1158
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 3: very funny.

1159
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Simmons got the start at center because no embiid.

1160
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: He was great nineteen eleven and ten, he had the

1161
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: triple double. Tobas Hairs was awesome. Twenty eight points. Ben

1162
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: Ley five of eight at the line. You know better better,

1163
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: good enough, especially when it comes to the hack of

1164
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: ben strategy. And I thought Tyrese Maxi was awesome. A

1165
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of energy he gave the Sixers and at a

1166
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: time when they were looking for it little juice in

1167
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: this game. He had nine points in the first half,

1168
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: played really well in the entire series when he got

1169
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: his chances out there, and I wonder if we'll see

1170
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: more of him again, that youthful energy in a second

1171
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: round series versus the Hawks. But the big question task

1172
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: we're just waiting on really right is Joelle Embiid. He's

1173
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: diagnosed with the small lateral meniscus tear in the right

1174
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: knee and he's day to day, and it's like, is

1175
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: he gonna be playing in Game one versus the Hawks?

1176
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: Is he done for the season? Heaven forbid? Is he

1177
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: just gonna put off surgery and try and play through this.

1178
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: That's the massive question mark, Because I guess I'll ask

1179
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: you again, we'll get into this tomorrow. But could the

1180
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: Hawks beat this team with no Jowell and beat like

1181
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: if he didn't play at all? Hawks could do that,

1182
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: couldn't it?

1183
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, they could. I think they could. I think

1184
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 5: there's a good chance there. Yeah, we all wait that

1185
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 5: news from Joel embid. In the meantime, we'll all just

1186
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 5: play Call of Duty and think about what Joel.

1187
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 2: And coming back. There's no need to feel old.

1188
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: Play video games. Skeets.

1189
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: Get on there, man, jump off this and go play

1190
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: some video games. Feel young again.

1191
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: No, I'm going to play actual basketball today with a

1192
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: man TK. We're gonna go shoot some hoops today. We're

1193
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: getting no side, that's right.

1194
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna challenge you to make thirty jumpers.

1195
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: All right, that's not gonna happen. I haven't played basketball

1196
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: in a long time. That's fine.

1197
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 3: I'll come with a triple double, which will be re

1198
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 3: bounding your missus and then passing it back to you

1199
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 3: to actually make the shots. Sometimes I'll get a put

1200
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 3: back here.

1201
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah.

1202
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 5: The scary thing is other than your basketball played today,

1203
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 5: might be some bricks out there is Joel Embiid was diagnosed.

1204
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 2: With this in his rookie season.

1205
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 5: He had the same diagnosis and he ended up having

1206
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 5: to have surgery and miss the rest of the season. Now,

1207
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 5: this could be different, but it is a little scary.

1208
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 5: Back then, they decided, okay, let's shut you down. That

1209
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 5: was the rookie season where he didn't win Rookie of

1210
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 5: the Year. If you remember, he just played over thirty years.

1211
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 5: It was the sixteen seventeen season. He had this small,

1212
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 5: small miniscus tear, and then they signed him to an

1213
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 5: extension in the off season, so that was then. This

1214
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 5: is hopefully different because otherwise everybody's playing well going into

1215
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 5: Round two against the Hawks. You know, with Seth Curry

1216
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 5: ball and looking so confident it wasn't just three point shooting,

1217
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 5: looking like he can do it inside and outside. Ben

1218
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 5: with the triple double, and Tobias Harris, yeah, he had

1219
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 5: a twenty eight and six best signed though he had

1220
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 5: ten free throws in this game. So all those guys,

1221
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 5: if they're playing to their capabilities, it seems like a

1222
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 5: great recipe for Joel Embiid to make his run.

1223
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: And that's why you got to be excited as an

1224
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: NBA fan.

1225
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 5: Joel Andbie can get back on the floor with the

1226
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 5: nets and the Bucks being at their peak, cells and

1227
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 5: everything going on in the Western Conference is exciting stuff.

1228
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 2: But Joel Embidia, that's a scary thing.

1229
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 5: I mean, he was on the floor warming up before

1230
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 5: this game. Maybe that bodes well for this weekend Sunday

1231
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 5: when they get going.

1232
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, game one Sunday in Philly when they host the Hawks.

1233
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: Seventy six ers do I mean, look, I think he's

1234
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: going to try and play. I think he's going to

1235
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: put off the You know, you could have surgery. I'm

1236
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: sure on this, but you don't have to, and he'll

1237
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: give it a go. You just hope, of course, he

1238
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: doesn't make it worse somehow in playing in these games.

1239
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see. How do guys feel about the Sixers

1240
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: fans chanting we want Brooklyn in this game. I was like, Wow,

1241
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: that's a fascinating gone right to their I mean like

1242
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: they're confident that they can take care of the Hawksley,

1243
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: but chant we want Brooklyn. You don't even know if

1244
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: you're seeing Brooklyn man.

1245
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that'd be hilarious. Maybe that's they're trying to

1246
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 4: get into the Buck's head by saying we don't even

1247
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 4: think they're a chance. They're trying to motivate the Bucks

1248
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: because they think they're a better match up against Milwaukee. Look,

1249
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 4: all sorts of crazy things happen in Philadelphia, So that's

1250
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 4: sort of I guess on path of the fans there.

1251
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 4: I mean that's the thing. This series won't be all

1252
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 4: that much different, I think for Trey Young going into

1253
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 4: an environment like that in Philadelphia, they're going to be

1254
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 4: onto him from the start as well, so it's going

1255
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 4: to be tough. But look, the Joell and b thing.

1256
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 4: I don't pretend to have any idea what a miniscus

1257
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 4: how serious that injury is, but to hear maniscous tear

1258
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 4: and be day to day kind of doesn't seem right.

1259
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 4: It seems like that's going to be something that could

1260
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 4: he could potentially do easily do more damage to. So

1261
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 4: I just hope that he's healthy and finding can play,

1262
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 4: because that's what we always want in a playoff series

1263
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 4: is all the best players playing. We don't want it

1264
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 4: to be decided by injuries at all. So, you know,

1265
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 4: it's just awful timing for him. But Philadelphia showed last

1266
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 4: night that, you know, obviously it's against the Wizards here

1267
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 4: who were sort of playing for their playoff live, They've

1268
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 4: got some players playing really well. Seth Curry has been

1269
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 4: excellent for Philadelphia, and it figures that he's going to

1270
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 4: have a big series as well or going to be

1271
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 4: relied on. They've got other guys who are contributing, and

1272
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,959
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons his versatility be going to play point guard

1273
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 4: and or center if necessary, shows that they can go

1274
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 4: small if necessary to match other teams. So it should

1275
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 4: be a great series. And I just hope everyone is healthy,

1276
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 4: and you know, I just hope that Joellen b doesn't

1277
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 4: you know, risk doing more significant injury to that knee

1278
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 4: by playing, because, like I say, a tear just sounds gross.

1279
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: No, it's not good. I can't believe all four Eastern

1280
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: Conference series and died in what five games or less?

1281
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: They're all set those two second round series in the

1282
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: East again, we'll break them down on tomorrow's Drop podcast,

1283
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: So join us at ten a m. Eastern live back

1284
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: here on YouTube as we preview and predict those But wow,

1285
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean really was the surprising one. But it is

1286
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: nice to see those three that were the elite teams

1287
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: in the East. I mean they took care of business,

1288
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, the Bucks sweeping, then the Nets and the

1289
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: sixth or yeah, okay, they gave up one, but those

1290
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: close out games to not make sure it didn't go

1291
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: any longer, to make sure somebody else doesn't have the

1292
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: potential to get injured, and crazy things like that to happen.

1293
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: Here we go, like this second round in the East

1294
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: looks very enticing tray both of these matchups, I think,

1295
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: especially with that how the Hawks played and are like

1296
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: sort of clicking with everybody contributing. These should be some

1297
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: fun series on skates.

1298
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 3: We knew going into the playoffs that the top three

1299
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 3: in the East were the upper echelon, so it's cool

1300
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 3: to see that they advanced. We got the two and three.

1301
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 3: Like we said, Bucks versus Nets could be the NBA champion,

1302
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 3: could easily be in that series. And like you're saying,

1303
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 3: the Hawks were so impressive in round one, couple that

1304
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 3: with Embiid's injury, and even if he's on the court,

1305
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 3: if he's playing at a lesser level, if he's an

1306
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 3: eighty percent of Jewel Embiid, really gives the Hawks a

1307
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 3: chance because Coppella's good man like Cappella and Trey Young

1308
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 3: the pick and roll. If Joel Embid's not able to

1309
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: move out there, that could really put the Sixers in

1310
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 3: some some tough positions to be able to stick with

1311
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 3: Trey on the perimeter while also dealing with the role man.

1312
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 3: Maybe you're asking a lot too much from Dwight Howard

1313
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 3: at that point, maybe you got to take a turn

1314
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 3: with Mike Scott, which would be in another advantage for

1315
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 3: the Hawks. I don't know. The injury to Embiid sucks

1316
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: for the Sixers, but it makes that second round series very,

1317
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 3: very interesting because you know, the Hawks played so well

1318
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 3: in Round one, and they did it against an opponent

1319
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 3: who came in with the defensive reputation as well. They

1320
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 3: just kept hanging points on them time and time again

1321
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 3: while playing their own solid defense as well.

1322
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: Can't wait that one Hawks Sixers Game one on Sunday,

1323
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: Can't wait for this weekends games actually, but still have

1324
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: tweeted the night for this show. But before we get

1325
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: to that quick break here from our sponsors, let's get

1326
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: to tweet of the.

1327
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 2: Night tweet out, Wow, what do you got?

1328
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: Tk oh Big night? Old tweet streets skates.

1329
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 3: On yesterday's Beach, step In Wrath sent in a question

1330
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 3: asking us what other networks could host first round playoff series,

1331
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 3: and I suggested that Hawks versus Nicks could be on

1332
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 3: Bravo because there's been a lot of drama during that series.

1333
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 3: And then I pitched some potential taglines for these players

1334
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 3: in the style of Real Housewives. If you didn't see

1335
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 3: it yesterday, take a look. Here's Julius Randall. I won

1336
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 3: Most Improved because I'm living my best life.

1337
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 2: Here's Trey Jung.

1338
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: Your arena is quiet because my game is loud. Last one,

1339
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau. Life is in all basketball and icing pick

1340
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: and rolls. But it should be sounds.

1341
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 3: Great with the theme behind it, Skeates yesterday on the show,

1342
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 3: you said clip it and ship, so we did. JD

1343
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 3: clipped it off and I shipped it right to Andy Cohen,

1344
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 3: executive producer of basically every show on Bravo TV.

1345
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: And guess what.

1346
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 3: Andy responded with the tweet of the night. I don't

1347
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 3: know who he's talking about, but this is good content.

1348
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 3: This is one of the greatest compliments in my life.

1349
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 3: Good content from the King of content himself, Andy Cohen.

1350
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

1351
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 3: Maybe I should have hit him with some Saint Louis

1352
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 3: baseball players for it to really hit home. But I

1353
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 3: was happy it made its way to at Andy. I

1354
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 3: was happy that he considers this great content. And I

1355
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 3: can't wait to explain everything on Watch What Happens Live,

1356
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,320

1366
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: baseball fan. I guess obviously not much of a basketball fan.

1367
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: If you had no idea what you were talking about, yeah,

1368
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so he's like, who's he? Who's Tom Thibodeau.

1369
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: What the heck? That's fantastic. I was happy to see that. Yeah,

01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: to see it. Okay, tonight's games, We've got two games on.

1384
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: That's it. We can focus guys tonight, Nuggets Blazers Game six,

1385
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Portland trying to stay alive at home. Denver can close

1386
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: it out on the road, and then we have the

1387
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: Suns Lakers Game six. I do not know yet whether

1388
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: or not Anthony Davis is gonna play. I don't know

1389
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: if anybody has more of an update. Team doctors last

1390
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: I saw, are going to decide to ask whether or

1391
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: not they're gonna let them go in a must win

1392
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 1: game six here for Lebron and the Lakers at home.

1393
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: These look these are these should be some spicy games

1394
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: here with two teams fighting to stay alive and two

1395
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: teams definitely want like try and end it when they

1396
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: have an opportunity.

1397
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 5: We Lebron and Damian Lillard facing Elementation. That's pretty neat

1398
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 5: on the same night. Looking forward to both games, I'm

1399
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 5: I'm digging in. Damian Lillard drained my battery on all

1400
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 5: my devices two nights ago. I'm looking to do the

1401
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 5: same tonight. This a double triple lot, Dame, Dame.

1402
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: We got a message here. I just want to slip

1403
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: this in before we wrap this up. It was on Instagram.

1404
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: I won't even try to say the handle's name because

1405
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 1: it's sort of crazy. I think they made it just

1406
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: to send us the DM zero followers, zero posts on

1407
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: ig But anyway, they were upset, well, Lee, listen, they're

1408
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: upset with everybody, but quote, you guys treat Lebron as

1409
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: if he's immune to criticism. Lee garanteed a DBAG sweep

1410
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: when the Lakers tied it up at one apiece. All

1411
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: four of you took the Lakers in the series. Lebron

1412
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: just rage quitting Game five with six minutes to go

1413
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Question Mark, did you guys even

1414
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: address that? Question mark? Of course, Lebron is washed, says

1415
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: this random person male or female, I'm not sure on Instagram. Lee,

1416
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: would you like to respond to this anonymous person?

1417
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 4: Listen, anonymous pest and just say who you are.

1418
01:03:59,120 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 3: Man.

1419
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 4: No one's gonna no one's gonna like get upset, but

1420
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 4: just say who you are. Just don't hide.

1421
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: It's like nuiv of versuvio oh nine one Ozero.

1422
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 4: But that's like he's hiding for something somebody else. It

1423
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 4: must be something. Just tell us who you are, man,

1424
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 4: if you want to talk. Yeah, we were wrong.

1425
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 3: I was wrong.

1426
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 4: I thought a d bag sweep was coming. And now

1427
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 4: Lakers remained favorite tonight because it's in Los Angeles and

1428
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 4: they still have Lebron. I don't mind being wrong, man,

1429
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 4: I don't mind it, you know, and listen after I

1430
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 4: said that. Anyway, it was because Chris Paul looked like

1431
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 4: his shoulders about to fall off, so and Davis was

1432
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 4: playing well. The Lakers were had stolen home court advantage.

1433
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 4: So it's not like we were just like the Sons

1434
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 4: are crap. They can't win this. The facts and the

1435
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 4: evidence that we've seen suggested Lebron was probably going to

1436
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 4: close out this series in five games. He's done that

1437
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 4: in the past, so you know, but it hasn't happened.

1438
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 4: I'm not like running or hiding from that. That's the

1439
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 4: way it goes sometimes. I mean, we've watched so much

1440
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 4: basketball you see patterns and trends over years and years,

1441
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 4: and you're like, this is Lebron. He just you know,

1442
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 4: he's fresh, he's ready. The Laker's gonna win this, but

1443
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 4: they haven't. So good luck to the Suns tonight. Good

1444
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 4: luck to the Lakers. Made the best team win.

1445
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: But I mean if if I.

1446
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: Don't, I just don't.

1447
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 4: I don't respect someone who creates an obvious burner account

1448
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 4: to have a shot. Just say who you are and

1449
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 4: talk to us, man, Sure, that's all that's all you

1450
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 4: have to do. Don't be don't be that wheezily and whiny.

1451
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 4: I don't have any burner accounts any of you guys. No,

1452
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 4: I don't see the point.

1453
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: We can barely keep up with one count I know,

1454
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: I know.

1455
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 4: So just say who you are, man, don't be so,

1456
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 4: don't be so scared to actually put your name to

1457
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 4: what you really want to say. Whoever you are, they

1458
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 4: say it. You obviously watch the show. You're going to

1459
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 4: hear this. Tell us who you are.

1460
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe we'll get a response. I mean, you can

1461
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: slide back into the DMS there, we'll check them out.

1462
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: But you know it is I'm just like I thought

1463
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: it was interesting because we were all sitting here going

1464
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: in the game five, Oh wow, were table Lebron. Are

1465
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: we going to get?

1466
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 2: Man?

1467
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: This is this is going to be something crazy? No,

1468
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: a D two two wow, and Lebron he was not

1469
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: checked out, but he just sure wasn't the aggressive Lebron

1470
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: that we've become a them too. And credit to the

1471
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Suns how they play them, they play them physically. You

1472
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: know you've got crowded even kill Bridges is a good defendant.

1473
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: I've got guys they can throw on them. But like

1474
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: it was, weird, is Father Time taking a lead? Here

1475
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: is what we're getting out here with Lebron. That's that's fair.

1476
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: There's your criticism nuevo. We'll find out maybe tonight, or

1477
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: he'll make us look silly like Lebron has done millions

1478
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: of times before.

1479
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 3: And it seems like it's gonna be one of those

1480
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 3: things that we have to know basically right away, because

1481
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 3: when Lebron is in must win mode, it's a post

1482
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 3: up almost every single time, right bump bump, bump, bump bump,

1483
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 3: make a play, make a layup, whatever it is, he

1484
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 3: just does it for forty eight minutes. So if you

1485
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 3: see Lebron posting up in the first three possessions tonight,

1486
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 3: then it then it seems like he's a little bit

1487
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 3: more tapped in because you're right in game five it

1488
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 3: was some strange stuff. I thought there was a lot

1489
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 3: of clogged lanes that Lebron was seeing, and maybe some

1490
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 3: of that is the personnel that they had out there,

1491
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 3: and a lot of it was the Sun's doing a

1492
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 3: great job of saying, we're just gonna be waiting for

1493
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 3: you here. Have somebody else do something. Nobody else did anything,

1494
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 3: and Lebron looked out of it, There's no doubt. So

1495
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 3: gotta be much better in game six.

1496
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, tass. Any predictions for Suns Lakers tonight? What's your

1497
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: gut say? Is this going seven?

1498
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1499
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 5: I'm taking Lebron in any game where, of course he's

1500
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 5: gonna win. He's the best player in the world. Unnamed

1501
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 5: guy on Instagram, Yeah, I'm taking Broun. I think I

1502
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 5: think it goes seven.

1503
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't wait to be talking about Lebron. How

1504
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: many free throws will Lebron takes tonight? And that's gonna

1505
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: be you watch you watch the storyline coming out of

1506
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: this one. Oh Silver phoned it in. He wants a

1507
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Game seven with Lebron. Yeah, we'll be talking about it tomorrow. Oh, Gary,

1508
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: intee it. Okay, that's it for us. Another long one, man,

1509
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: These playoff shows. There's lots to talk about. We have

1510
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: four games on last night. Like I said, tomorrow's drop podcast,

1511
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: we'll be recapping tonight's hopefully instant classic games between the Nuggets, Blazers,

1512
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: and then the Suns Lakers, and we will start previewing

1513
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: and predicting all the series that we know in the

1514
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: second round. We know the Eastern Conference matchups, so we'll

1515
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: put some numbers on those series and we might I

1516
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: guess it's possible know who the Jazz are playing if.

1517
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 4: The Nuggets win and hold on.

1518
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 3: No, I have no no.

1519
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 4: Let's the other series, isn't it?

1520
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could know someone else if the Nuggets win tonight,

1521
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: but I'm too Oh the Nuggets.

1522
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 3: The Nuggets and Suns win, that's the thing.

1523
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: We would have a two three matchup, so we'll see

1524
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: if that's in play after tonight. We'll be back tomorrow though.
