10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: I thought.

00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: I joined not because Duck, just because it was a

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 3: great game. I agreed actually before this game because I

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: thought it'd be over, and I thought I have to

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: hear the sound of my own voice going into the

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: finals here.

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,680

Speaker 2: going to end yesterday.

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: I thought, we're pretty confident you and the other boys

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: in the No Dunks Classic Factory on Friday or all

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: saying this one was a rap. Guys were a bunch

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: of Draymond Greens. Get fired up? The heat there God

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: has Yeah, gott Tucker going, dude, what a storyline?

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: Do you think Draymond Green actually planned that? Come on, now,

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: come on, yes, I do.

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: What a way to start this too. I love that

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: it's somehow overshadowing a guy scoring forty seven points in

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: an elimination game. But yeah, let's waste no time here.

28

39
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: do or die Game seven Sunday night in South Beach

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: after Jimmy Butler tasks led the Heat to the one

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: eleven one oh three victory in Boston to extend this series,

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: keep their title hopes alive, and Jimmy the Man of

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: the hour, a man possessed last night with forty seven points,

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: nine boards, eight assists, and four steals.

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: My god, tests well, I thought it was over because

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: of what happened in games three, four and five, right

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: with Jimmy specifically, for.

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Sure, it just looked like a totally different guy.

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 3: And then we saw what happened from a minute one

50
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: to minute forty eight.

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: That was the best part.

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: He was setting guys up in the first couple minutes

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: and then he got his flow, and then he continued

54
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: until the final buzzer. He was there and he got

55
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: just enough help, baby, just enough help.

56
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: He did, especially from a guy that's near and dear

57
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: to our heart in Kyle Lowry who helped him out.

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: But Jimmy overall sixteen for twenty nine from the field,

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: perfect from the line, eleven to eleven, some great free

60
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: throw shooting besides Jalen Brown Lade in this game, and

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: then four to three points two from Jimmy. But you're right, task, like,

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: what the hell happened to his knee?

63
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 2: Right?

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Like what happens between games five and six where it

65
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: looks like this guy's got nothing really left to give

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: because the knees, you know, still hurting him from that

67
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: game three injury where he leaves, and that just wasn't

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: the case. He said. The reason was he talked to

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade, just getting on the horn with Wade, magically

70
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: healed his knee. It's very strange, but you know, he

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: was locked in right from the jump, Like he said,

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: what like like the first quarter alone. I mean, he

73
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: was just what did what did he? He had like

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: fourteen five and four in the first twelve minutes of

75
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: this game, just like putting this, putting his imprints on

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: it very early.

77
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: Right, And going back to Game five, he was like

78
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: two of eight in the first quarter and he just

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: wasn't right. Yeah, you can say this is the Lebron's

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: staredown game. You could, I you know, go back to

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty Finals where he had that forty point

82
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: performance against the Lakers where there's the famous picture of

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: him hanging over the yeah, the score table, you know,

84
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: the end table there.

85
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Yep, gassed. But that's what it felt like. And I'm

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: not certain.

87
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm not good at calling games right in this

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: moment here, but I don't think this is over.

89
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: By any means.

90
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: No, no, No, That's why Draymond Green could still technically

91
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: be right. That's my favorite part of that whole story.

92
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they do have one more game to play,

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: and if yeah, if you know how it's going to end, bullshit,

94
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: because good luck, you can just straight up flip a coin.

95
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: You would think the heat now Game seven at home,

96
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: if Jimmy is going to continue to play like this

97
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: if some of these guys that couldn't hit a shot

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: to save their lives in lowry and even strews like

99
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: if they're on a little bit okay, but like who knows,

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: Like why can't Tatum go for forty five or fifty

101
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: in game seven? Like why not?

102
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: You know?

103
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I mean that should make for a very

104
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: exciting in theory game seven there on Sunday night. It's

105
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: not an afternoon game. It is a Sunday night game,

106
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: which I'm a fan of as well. But yeah, you know,

107
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I got I got no idea. I

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: had heat and seven because I swerved against you guys.

109
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not feeling all that confident. I'm not betting it.

110
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.

111
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

112
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: And so you like a night game just because playoff

113
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: viewing needs to be at night.

114
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I just like to have my weekends for you a

115
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I mean, I'm a fan of I

116
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: don't mind it. Of course when the playoffs start, that's fun.

117
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, no, I like I like to everybody

118
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: go do your things on Sunday, Go have your brunches,

119
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: go walk your dogs, go to your kids birthday parties,

120
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: and pool parties and all that, and then and then

121
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: let's all get back in front of the TV to

122
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: end uh end the weekend still and also it's a

123
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: long weekend here, so it's like, I mean, that's like

124
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds.

125
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: Really, that's true. Who care?

126
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: Like this game could go quadruple five six overtimes. We

127
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: ain't good a care. Nobody's going to carry for the

128
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: most part in the State's place.

129
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: And we may even do our show right after that,

130
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: who knows possibility. I wanted to ask you because I

131
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: saw pregame just getting back to the viewing experience. You

132
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: tweeted Porto Scotch dog at my feet. Ye ready to

133
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: watch Game six the Eastern Conference Finals, and you got

134
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: a beauty. I was wondering inside or outside, did you,

135
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: because I know sometimes you watch outside.

136
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: Ah No, I was inside last night. Yeah, yeah, I

137
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: mean you could have last night beautiful night here, And

138
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: it was amazing that you could have taken the laptop

139
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: out on the back or front porch, for sure, But

140
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: I didn't even cross my mind, if I'm being honest.

141
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: I did that.

142
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: It was so nice. I was even doing mobile view.

143
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: I was just looking at my phone.

144
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: Wow, so nice outside.

145
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, look at you, Look at you.

146
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: I brought it in at halftime, did some stuff.

147
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: And then oh okay, it's a little late. Yeah. Anyway,

148
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: a great tweet from Tony Jones about Jimmy Butler. I'm

149
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: not sure if you saw this one making the rounds

150
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: last night on Twitter test, but Tony tweeted, Jimmy Butler

151
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: is the rare guy in NBA history who isn't a

152
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: top five overall player, but in a playoff setting he

153
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: can take his game to a top five overall level.

154
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Who is like this in the past or who in

155
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: the past is like this? I should say? And then

156
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: he went first. He says Reggie Miller was that type

157
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: of guy. Uh. I mean, I think it's a fun tweet.

158
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Are there any other names that come to mind? Do

159
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: you agree with Tony about Jimmy And I guess his

160
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: his first selection there in Reggie.

161
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, is Jimmy. It definitely

162
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: fits that criteria totally right here, right now. And that's

163
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: why it felt like a bit of this this stoneface

164
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: game for a Lebron like ready to take it to

165
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: that next level, to be a top five guy, for

166
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: you know, a year or two perhaps, you know, in

167
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: the in the echelon of NBA players, he's got to

168
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: he's got to do it in the finals again though,

169
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: like it's you know, it's not you're not up there

170
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: until you you do it in the finals one time.

171
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: But I guess we throw Embiid and Jokic up there

172
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: and they haven't been there, right.

173
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I think some other fun name games to like answer

174
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: Tony's question. I saw people say Chauncey Billups, which I

175
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: thought was a pretty fun one. You know, never of course,

176
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: like you know, where did Billups top out when he

177
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: was playing in a regular season where people like maybe

178
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: they were like he's top twenty five, top twenty maybe

179
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: at his best years, but then you know, had some

180
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: pretty incredible playoff performances Damian Lillard. If you don't have

181
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: them as like a top and he probably isn't a

182
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: top five guy in the league, I mean maybe, yeah,

183
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: that one's a little closer, but that's a good one.

184
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Paul George. I think maybe younger Paul George is sort

185
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: of there again the idea that they're not they're good players,

186
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: but they're not like top five, top five guys, but

187
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: they sure can look like it at times in playoff

188
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: games or playoff series. So I like that James Worthy

189
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: for all the old heads out there, for the Lee

190
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: Ellis is out there, I think is maybe there. And

191
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: I'll say one more, our good old Canadian boy. I

192
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: think Jamal Murray has shown at times that he might

193
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: have that in him monster explosions in playoff settings, but

194
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: hope so far he's far from top five.

195
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: I guess Donovan Mitchell, if you're throwing Jamal Murray in

196
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: that category, Mitchell has been there before this year. Yeah,

197
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: we're quick to just say, ah, that guy's not there anymore.

198
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard here mentioned in the stream team by a.

199
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Cop was top four. I mean Kawhi never, I.

200
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: Guess never in the top five was the tweet? Yeah,

201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: yeah he wasaw I definitely was all.

202
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: Right, fun stuff there from from Tony. But yeah, let's

203
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the help that Jimmy got,

204
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: because you know, you and I were saying it like

205
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: Lowry has to do something because because Jimmy, though he

206
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: well he almost basically just carried the team for the

207
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: entirety of this game six, he got some help and

208
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: that was Lowry's best game of the postseason, was it not?

209
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he had finished with eighteen points tennisis four boards.

210
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: He fouled out two stupid Kyle Lowry fowls at the end.

211
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if they lose this game, everybody's going, what

212
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: do you do? In Kyle, You're being a little too

213
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: loud with those two fouls late. But he, you know,

214
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: just I thought just seeing that three pointer drop, you

215
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: could tell he was like, oh my god, finally because

216
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: he hit that one. He I think it was off

217
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: a high uh you know, pick from bam. Lowry loves

218
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: going to his left, splashed the three early. Then he

219
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: had like a wide open layup where the Celtics appeared

220
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: to just blow like their ice pick and roll coverage.

221
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: Smart.

222
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean they don't usually play it this way smart,

223
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: like really iced it. And then Robert Williams was like,

224
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: what are we doing? And then Lowry just walked to

225
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: the net. But you know, Lowry got going early their

226
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: task and I thought was huge in the heat, forcing

227
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: a game seven, almost just as much as Jimmy Crazy.

228
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's it's the levels are obviously way different,

229
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: but yeah, but that was like, I'm with you because

230
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: that was the exact level of Lowry that you needed

231
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: and what the Heat expected when they signed him. Eighteen

232
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: points and going down the stretch. Eric Spolster called the

233
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: two man game there four minutes left him and Jimmy,

234
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: Jimmy needs to lean on somebody like Kyle Lowry. It's

235
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: exactly what they signed them up for. You know, Bam

236
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: hasn't been that guy. And to make a set up

237
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: a two man game there where they just you know,

238
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: kind of played up sort of above the brake and

239
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: Kyle Lowry was set up for a big three. He

240
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: hit that with four minutes left, and then on that

241
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 3: next possession driving you don't see Kyle really draw too

242
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: many fouls, but he was able to draw the foul

243
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: a legitimate foul call. And I have to say that

244
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: because there were some illegitimate foul calls in this game.

245
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: There's some question, but poorly officiated game. Yeah, they were

246
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: killing flows. They were calling fouls when it didn't appear

247
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: to be a foul, and they weren't calling fouls when

248
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: there was a blatant foul.

249
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: They were sort of all It was a weird one.

250
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 3: I don't feel bad in the end because I think

251
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: the better team won. But yeah, to get Jimmy to

252
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: the point where he could hit a couple shots, that

253
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: was the perfect Lowry. That was the perfect Kyle Lowry.

254
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, that.

255
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: Happened with four minutes left, and then we get down

256
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: to the two or three minutes left where Jimmy was

257
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: doing it on one end and I think PJ. Tucker

258
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: was doing it on the other end. Exactly what the

259
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: Heat dialed up here? If you were to draw it up,

260
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 3: how would the Heat win a playoff game? Well, Lowry,

261
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, helped out Butler as sort of the number

262
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 3: two score. Strews did enough and then PJ. Tucker, Baby,

263
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean, bam would probably be written into that script.

264
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: I guess I lied there. You're probably get an addendum,

265
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: you get some more BAM in there. But whatever, it

266
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: came down to the end and yeah, Butler Tucker, Butler Tucker,

267
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: and they finished the job.

268
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: Baby.

269
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: As much of the story from this game is Jimmy

270
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Butler with the forty seven in an elimination game on

271
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: the road. The Celtics maybe blew this too. I really did,

272
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: like Derek White hits a three to put them up

273
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: ninety seven to ninety four. The Celtics are leading the

274
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: game with what about four minutes ago something like that.

275
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: You said, you're at home. You know you've him back.

276
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: You've sort of overcome this weird officiated game with some

277
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: of your guys being in foul trouble. You've got Tatum

278
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: and Brown. You know you're looking good, like you are

279
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: four minutes away from going to the finals. And this

280
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: is what happens from that point on from the Celtics offensively,

281
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to read it to you. Marcus Smart misses

282
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: a three pointer. He was trying to be a hero

283
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: in this game.

284
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: There was no doubt that that possession. No one else

285
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: touched the ball. You don't see that in basketball too.

286
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: Off it twenty four seconds of Marcus Smart up top

287
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: and a miss three.

288
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: Yep, So he misses a three. Then Smart does make

289
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: two free throws. That was off of one of the

290
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: dumb Kyle Lowry fouls, so they're into the bonus. He

291
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: takes those, he hits them, so that's good. Then Smartness

292
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: is another three. Yikes. Then we get Jalen Brown. He's

293
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: at the line and he misses. I think it's a

294
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: tie game at that point. He misses both free throws,

295
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: and you know Celtics fans going, oh, that's sort of

296
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Jayleen Brown's thing here, he sometimes misses these clutch free throws.

297
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: Okay, that was actually the Marcus Smart possession, and I

298
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: lied that was the Marcus Smart.

299
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: And then the Derek White steal that he did a

300
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: couple of times.

301
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh, the one on Lowry. Yeah, and it came from

302
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: behind that and then it turned. I thought that was

303
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: the game. Honestly, I was like, oh my god.

304
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: And then Brown two free throws.

305
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, so Brown misses two free throws. Then

306
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: the Tatum turnover. Awesome play from Tucker. I think you

307
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: know that one where he just he's Tatum spinning, Tucker

308
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: pounces and they get to steal. Huge play. Okay. Horford

309
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: then misses a three pointer and Derek White misses a

310
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: three pointer that these were all of the possessions in

311
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: a row after they had taken that ninety seven ninety

312
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: four league. No, eventually Tatum takes a shot and all that,

313
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: but like, wow, that's you got Jason Tatum. And he

314
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: took what was it like, one shot with like a

315
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: one minute to go in the fourth quarter of a

316
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: very close game. That was crazy.

317
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he may have gotten another shot if PJ. Ducker

318
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: didn't strip him on that spin move. But totally you're

319
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: totally right the Marcus mart bad possession. Then Brown misses

320
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: two free throws after Derek White saved the day there

321
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: for a sec. But you know, kudos to Max struzk

322
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, shut down Jason Tatum enough for PJ. Tucker

323
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: to come in and strip that thing. And then PJ

324
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: Tucker brought it all the way up this PJ Tucker

325
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: dribbling it all the way up and then Derek White

326
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: with a weird fowl slapping him in the chest basically

327
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: and giving Tucker an opportunity to hit a couple of

328
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: free throws there. And then yeah, it just went downhill

329
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: from there. Horford to miss three, Tatum did hit a shot,

330
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: but the Heat were doing. Yeah, you're right. The bad

331
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: execution by the Celtics down the stretch, it goes hand

332
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: in hand for sure with the Heat's great execution down

333
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: the stretch.

334
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the other thing that the Celtics did

335
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: in this game is they turned the ball over, and

336
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: like every time they turned the ball over they generally

337
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: lose here in the playoffs, seventeen total led to twenty

338
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: three points for the heat. And now in the playoffs

339
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: they're one and four when they have more than fifteen turnovers,

340
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: so you know, and again some of those were Jimmy

341
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: jumping the passing lane and Tucker getting in there and

342
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Lowry you know, raking away in there and stuff like that.

343
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: You know, they brought the intensity and they were putting

344
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: some pressure on the officials again to like, are you

345
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna call this stuff like in an elimination game, like,

346
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: because we're gonna We're gonna like scratch and clar away

347
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: as much as we can until you really call it.

348
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, the turnovers just I thought once again killed

349
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: Boston and the execution down the stretch, and yeah, just

350
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: missing some of these shots which were open. I mean,

351
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: some of those. I think the Horford one, if I

352
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: remember correctly, is a is an in rhythm corner three.

353
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Horford had hit a three earlier in the quarter. I

354
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: think actually he hit a three that brought Robert Williams

355
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: back to the bench, right. I think time Lord was

356
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna check in, and I'm pretty sure Horford splashed a

357
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: three and then Doka brought him back.

358
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Oh, Doka said Wow, Horford hit his first shot of

359
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: the game. Al Horford had a stinky, a stinky game

360
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: there until until that shot.

361
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: You just yeah, playing in his.

362
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: One hundred and fortieth career playoff game, I thought he'd

363
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: be a little bit more confident with the ball when

364
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: he had somebody on the block. But he was passing out. Yeah,

365
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: some of the Celtics him. The turnovers didn't produce. Well,

366
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 3: the heat just got it, just got enough. It's easy

367
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: to forget that Tyler Hero wasn't playing in this game,

368
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: and Victor Oladipot came through a couple clutch threes, taking

369
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: that charge late.

370
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: Max Strews just kept.

371
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: Shooting, baby, even though you know he's way off on

372
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: what I mean, they're asking him to shoot from twenty

373
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: eight feet from.

374
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he was pulling it from Lillard Curry

375
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: ring a couple of times. He hit one. I mean

376
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: the one I couldn't believe, Like the guy missed fourteen

377
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: straight three pointers in this series. And then the one

378
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: he hits is like the one to beat the shot clock,

379
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: like we had to inbound it with like one second left.

380
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: I think it was in the third quarter.

381
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: That was the mouthguard flying out of his mouth in

382
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: mouthguard flying out wick wicked three. He needed just to

383
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: keep shooting. And that dude is a starting shooting guard

384
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: here on a conference finalist, playing defense and taking Duncan

385
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 3: Robinson's job because he physical enough. And yeah, and as

386
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: I said about that strip that Tucker was able to

387
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 3: make with just under two minutes left, it was because

388
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: Streuce played some defense, so Strews, Yeah, kept shooting through

389
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: the bad stretch. Lowry came back a little depot, Tucker

390
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: hitting free throws at the end. Enough offense there for

391
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: the Heat. They came through in a serious Yeah, we're

392
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: just going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

393
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 3: So who the heck knows what we see in Game seven.

394
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: It felt like the Heat came up with a clutch

395
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: shot every time they needed one, Like anytime the Celtics

396
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: had made the run, looked like they were going to

397
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: take control and head to the finals. It was somebody

398
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: on Miami'd be a Jimmy Lowry strus all a deeple

399
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: like you said, hit that big three, Like somebody just

400
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: always had an answer somehow to stop a run or

401
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: to hit a timely bucket. It was crazy, and they

402
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: just look in games four and five, the Heat combined

403
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: to shoot sixty of one hundred and eighty four thirty

404
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: two percent from the field in those two games, and

405
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: then in this one they shot forty six percent and

406
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: they hit fifteen threes. I mean, that's a big part

407
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: of this story of this game too. It's just the

408
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: Heat actually hit some shots, and you know Jimmy and

409
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: Kyle and Struce hitting well, he's throwing Tucker too there.

410
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: That's that's thirteen three pointers between those four so all

411
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: gave him a chance and it was just enough.

412
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: Like you said, and as you said about the Celtics, yeah,

413
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: I kind of flub in this one at the end.

414
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: A huge bucket was the Jimmy Butler turn around jumper.

415
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: It's one oh five, one oh one, and I thought, yeah,

416
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: the shot that sealed it was there's two point two

417
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: seconds left on the shot clock and they're inbounding under

418
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: you know, by Boston hoop there and Jimmy got this

419
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: shot right where he likes to get that shot, sort

420
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: of on the wing, close to the three point line,

421
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 3: right side of the floor, easy inbound to him. Tough

422
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: shot to turn around and shoot it from there, But

423
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: just a money shot. So wide was he fricking that open?

424
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they played him, they were playing everybody single

425
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: coverage because there's two seconds left, But he got a

426
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: pretty clean look for two seconds left on a shot

427
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: clock inbound over Marcus Smart to bang that home, making

428
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: a six point game and good night. But he came

429
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 3: up with that shot. He came up with that monster

430
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: drive with two minutes left to give them a three

431
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: point lead because it was an and one. So it

432
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: was it was Jimmy at the end, just a beautiful

433
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: bounce everybody coming through there at the end of game six.

434
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: How nice was it to actually watch it? Yeah, he

435
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: was finally like finally leaning forward in my chair, like, oh,

436
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: here we go. It's a big possession. And we just

437
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: had just obviously hadn't had a lot of that in

438
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: close games here in these Conference finals, both of the

439
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: series with the Warriors taking care of business and this

440
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: this one. I mean, we almost never had a late

441
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: lead change or even that close a game. Yeah, down

442
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: the final five or six minutes of the game, So

443
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: it was I was like, oh, yeah, bascoall is awesome

444
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: when it's close, and you know, every possession matters here,

445
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: so it's great. So just like, I mean, I know,

446
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: I know the Bean Town boys will be upset off.

447
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't talk about it a little more. Do

448
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: you think they got a really shitty whistle the Celtics

449
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: did here in Game six? Or do you think it

450
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: was just an overall, like we said, poorly officiated game. Like,

451
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: what are your final thoughts on that? Because I know

452
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: we had like two quick fowls on Horford, you had

453
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: two quick fouls on Tucker. I think it was you know,

454
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: guys fouling out again. The flow was weird. But some

455
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: Celtics fans, I haven't listened to Simmons podcast yet, but

456
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's, you know, lamenting the whistle that they got.

457
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: What do you think?

458
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 3: No, I'm it was bad both ways and the Celtics

459
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: made mistakes. Why they challenged that call on Grant Williams

460
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: Jimmy on Jimmy Butler's jump shot early in the fourth quarter.

461
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: That was bad.

462
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: It was strange and you could see Grant Williams asking

463
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: what did I do? He's looking up at the video board,

464
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: but Jaylen Brown is right there saying you hack him,

465
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: you hit him on He's literally saying it to him.

466
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: Jimmy or Jalen Brown's got to be on the coaching staff.

467
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: He's got to tell people he hit him. I mean,

468
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: why are we challenging that he should be saying that

469
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: to the bench. I know it wasn't a blatant hit

470
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: of the arm, but they're not reversing that. So I

471
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: think it was bad both ways. And if you look

472
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: at the execution down the stretch for the Celtics, I

473
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: don't know how you blame anybody but yourself.

474
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: That it was. Yeah, it wasn't fun to watch.

475
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, but do you know I think

476
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 3: it was bad both You know, I zoomed in on

477
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: a bunch of calls was it a foul? But the

478
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: heat were in foul trouble as you said. So, so

479
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 3: how do you really blame it on the whistles? Do

480
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: you blame it on the whistles?

481
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: No?

482
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't at all. I just think they

483
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: had a bad game because the worst thing you want,

484
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: or the worst thing you get from an officiating crew

485
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: is just inconsistency. It's like, what type of game are

486
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: you calling it tonight? Are you letting things go or

487
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: you not? Don't go back and forth and that's what

488
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: appeared they were doing. And that's got to be the

489
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: frustrating part. And you could tell, I mean, they're telling

490
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: everybody shut up, stop complaining because they're all upset. It's like,

491
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: what's a foul? What isn't? And you know everybody's getting

492
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: warned basically at one point. But back to that challenge,

493
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that was actually huge when you think about it,

494
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: because there were two instances off the top of my

495
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: head that I can remember after they blew the challenge

496
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: very early in the fourth quarter that they really probably

497
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: would have got the benefit of and been able to

498
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: challenge and overturn it. Tatum offensive foul called right with

499
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: eight forty five left. That was like a bang bang

500
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: one that it could have been. Obviously you go to

501
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: the replay monitors and maybe it gets overturned. And then

502
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: there's the other one where remember when Butler rolled his

503
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: ankle with like three minutes to go, yes, and they

504
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: and it was off him, the ball goes yeah, yeah,

505
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: And that one would have been a big one to

506
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: be like, okay, well let's look at that one, and

507
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: they're definitely overturning it. They're saying, okay, it's Celtic's ball,

508
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: but I don't think that he ended up scoring on

509
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: that possession if I remember correctly, But whatever, I mean,

510
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: the weird to go to that challenge like fifteen seconds

511
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: into the fourth course.

512
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, they didn't end up scoring on that

513
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: one where Jimmy went for a little stroll out of

514
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: bounds with the ball, and somehow because he kind of

515
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: he turned his ankle when Al Horford tried to strip him,

516
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: they gave the ball to him. Yeah, there were some

517
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: bad calls by the officials, and yeah, Ima Udoka, I'm

518
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: not sure why he used it that early in the

519
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: fourth quarter.

520
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: You're totally right he could have used it later.

521
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: But you know, going back and thinking about it, one

522
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: note I made was the Celtics here in a closeout

523
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: game at home, just didn't get back at times. I

524
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: know the fast break points were basically even fourteen thirteen,

525
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: but they're beat down the floor a few times, and

526
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: I don't think you should get beat down the.

527
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: Floor one time.

528
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: You should be able to get back and be the

529
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 3: last line of defense there. So there's listen, Jimmy was

530
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: great up top, even if he wasn't a shutdown guy

531
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 3: in this game. Defensively, he was so good, so so

532
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: good at timing passes. He was amazing. And the line

533
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: speaks to it how fricking good he was. The box

534
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: sport says it all. He was so so good and

535
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 3: able to carry his team to the end. But the

536
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 3: Celtics said nothing, nothing to play but the mirror. They

537
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: just they have to I mean, they got to be.

538
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: They gotta be upset with themselves. And yeah they got

539
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: out executed at the end.

540
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: Really.

541
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, my random notes for this one JVG jeff yan

542
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: Gunny complaining about bench players encroaching on the court and man,

543
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: look and it's become a bit of a storyline here

544
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: because of the Mavericks And I was bringing it up

545
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago about is this a rule or not? Can

546
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: you do this now? Can you stand during these playoff games?

547
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: You don't get told to sit down. But like there's

548
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: that one. I mean I think it was like Morris

549
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: is like on the court. Yeah, standing on the court.

550
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: It is a sort of insane. How close these guys

551
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: like you know, six seven eight bunch guys or whatever,

552
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: like some of the staff or just can be around

553
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: an opponent shooting in the corner. There it's wild.

554
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: They're sitting, they're standing on the baseline or the sideline,

555
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 3: they're they're all over it. They're dancing on that thing. Yeah,

556
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: it's I don't know how the NBA regulates it. I

557
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: guess it's because you can't say stand or stand behind

558
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 3: this line.

559
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: I guess it's just you have to sit.

560
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: Really, I think they would have to tell them you

561
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: have to be sitting, yeah, while the while gameplay is happening.

562
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but while you'll get you.

563
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Know, a delay a game or whatever and then a

564
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: tech or something like.

565
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you want like it's you're telling Like, like

566
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd said earlier, these playoffs, you got millionaires cheering

567
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: for other millionaires.

568
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: It's great.

569
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know, I know.

570
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: It is cool that they're standing up, but yeah, they

571
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I think to me, that's just an indicator

572
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 3: how this Heat team was ready to give it everything

573
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: they got. They were just into it mentally, you know,

574
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: Kron Butler, assistant coach for the Heat, was flying onto

575
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: the floor when Kyle Lowry was down on the ground.

576
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: Like they were there for each other and ready to

577
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: to give it everything they had. Physically, they they're ready

578
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 3: for this game.

579
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Baby.

580
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: My other note was I laughed out loud. I don't

581
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: know if it was making its way around Twitter.

582
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: I was.

583
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't really watching at this point, but Lowry went

584
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: down like he I think he probably is Lowry, So

585
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: he was taking a charge or trying to get some contact.

586
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: Perfect dropped to the ground.

587
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: He got hit like it probably hurt. So he's lying

588
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: on the ground and the mop guy came out and

589
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: mopped around him. So funny. If it didn't find its

590
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: way to Twitter, I should go grab it because it

591
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: is very funny. The mop guy literally like he's like

592
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: a dead body on the in the pate and he

593
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: just goes around him. Oh man, I laughed laughed out

594
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: loud at that one. So another random note I had,

595
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have any other one.

596
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: Somebody must have drawn a chalk out line around it.

597
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. That's what it looked like

598
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: because the guy just going around him, cleaning up the sweat,

599
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: just around him. I guess he'll wait till he gets

600
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: finally gets up and then I'll clean up that. Oh yeah,

601
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: that's really all I have for in my notes. I

602
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you have anything else.

603
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: Man, I would have loved to see Lowry's sweat angel

604
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 3: on the floor after that and the sweat you know,

605
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: the you know, greatest raptor of all type, greatest rump

606
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 3: of all time, to see to see that shape on

607
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: the floor, that would have been phenomenal. And I missed

608
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 3: that one. Weird, weird that I missed that one. I

609
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 3: did fall asleep six minutes left in this game. I

610
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: was pretty pissed at myself.

611
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: Wheah, Yeah, I was making notes. I was in bed.

612
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: I was making notes and then went down for the count,

613
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: woke up and at one am and watched the rest

614
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: of it. Wow, because I had to watch that thing.

615
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: We got a close game, We got a close game.

616
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: Skits. This game went from the series.

617
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: These playoff also went from you know, the meme of

618
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: that guy leaning back in his chair to leaning forward

619
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: so right. I had to take it in. No other

620
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: random notes though, Okay, I think that's it.

621
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I was just.

622
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: I was just impressed with the heat down the stretch

623
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: there and how they executed play after play after play,

624
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: finishing the job well.

625
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: The Celtics have shown an ability to bounce back in

626
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: these playoffs. They're five to zer following a loss, and

627
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: for those wins have come by double figure. So again,

628
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: if you think you figured out Game seven there on

629
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night in South Beach, I'm going to disagree with you.

630
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: You're just a straight up liar. But we'll see. Hopefully

631
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: it's another close game. Like Tass said, we might jump

632
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: back on here on Sunday night with task and stay away.

633
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah you got you gotta sit in a chair.

634
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: Or something good.

635
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: Take it outside may help you.

636
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know.

637
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: Actually what random note, I'm watching the stream team here

638
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: talk about Kyle Lowry Vintage Lowry game I'm seeing.

639
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: From I loved it. I was, I was beaming.

640
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it was fo Middle and Lowry on the floor.

641
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: It just it brings up I tweeted something about Lowry

642
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: early in the game, and there's a lot of I

643
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: guess Beantown boys passed like I think guy's flopping all

644
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: over the place.

645
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: He's all over the floor.

646
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep.

647
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, you have an exact replica

648
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: and Marcus Smart on the other side, So like, how

649
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: do you get pissed about it?

650
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean that's yeah, I mean what he's on your team.

651
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: You love him, and I guess you can hate him

652
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: if you're watching him flop around. But yeah, I don't

653
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: think that him flopping around garnered the heat calls that

654
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: they didn't deserve or anything. I think he did a

655
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: good job. And you know, a guy like old people

656
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 3: stepping in and taking a charge. There he culture maybe.

657
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that was that was great.

658
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: Game seven Sunday night, everybody, let's do it one more time.

659
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: You know, we got the clip. Tass uploaded it.

660
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: Come on, Zaza, oh here one one final, one final

661
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 3: note skeets because I know JD uploaded. I uploaded it too,

662
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: And while I was uploading it, I saw like sometimes

663
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: you know, you see like close captioning, like transcripts pop up,

664
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: and so I just thought of it. I thought it

665
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: was funny reading the transcript from Zaza Pachulia's Game seven video.

666
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: There is nothing easy, nothing easy. We're going to game seven, baby,

667
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: Game seven, Game seven. I wish you guys were there

668
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: because he's talking to his homeown.

669
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that's that's the extended version.

670
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we all everybody knows that we got your support.

671
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna feel it on game seven. And I think

672
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: he did say on Game seven, we love you all right,

673
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: that's it.

674
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: And I believe the Hawks went on to lose that

675
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: game seven. That's my favorite part of the whole thing.

676
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: He just got their ass handed to him. Oh man,

677
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: that was out? Was that Horford on that tune?

678
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

679
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow. Hopefully it goes a little better for Al

680
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Horford here, at least a closer game before we go

681
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: to US. Just in other quick news here, just get

682
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: your take on this real quick. Lakers Darvin Ham as

683
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: their next head coach. Any thoughts on this?

684
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: Well, first, I can't wait to read the article on

685
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: the Athletic about it because I got that queued up.

686
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: Of course, the man is very, very well deserving, and

687
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: speaking of the Hawks, I mean he goes back yep,

688
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: you know, way back with the Hawks, and I know

689
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: he's he's a basketball lifer and he obviously is a

690
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: student of the game as well. So you got Lebron's approval.

691
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: Lebron tweeted he's excited to work with Darvin Ham. I

692
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 3: guess Lebron may be having flashbacks of toront Loo coaching

693
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: him in Cleveland. You know, a role player in this

694
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: league when he played, and a student of the game

695
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: when he coached. So I'm sure Darvin Ham will will

696
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: be a very good coach. Will he have the roster

697
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: and the time to make it work, I think is

698
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: the question.

699
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like it too. I mean, look, he's a

700
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: champion as a player. Darvin Ham was with the Pistons

701
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: and obviously as an assistant coach with the Bucks. He

702
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: has experience with the Lakers organization, and I always forget

703
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: that that he was there, yeah for a couple of seasons,

704
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: and then, like you said, he was with the Hawks too,

705
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: And most importantly, it does feel like he has respective

706
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: players in this league, especially your star players in Lebron there.

707
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: So I love this hire. I think it sort of

708
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: checks all the boxes and and and he's, like you

709
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: said to start it, terribly deserving of a chance to

710
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: be a head coach in this league. I mean, he's

711
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: put his time in on all these benches, so it'd

712
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: be fun to see what he can do as the

713
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: as the lead guy there. Yeah, Darvin Ham, you know,

714
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: it's a great name. You get to see all those

715
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: nuggets dunk contest clips going around him, shattering backboards in college.

716
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Will Jose Calderon come out of retirement to play for

717
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: a man named Ham, or at least beyond his staff.

718
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, I always forgot Jose played for the Lakers

719
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: for crying out loud for the game.

720
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, and and there is that one clip that

721
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: people I'm sure forget about first round of the Bubble,

722
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: Darvin Ham, assistant on the buck staff, came out and

723
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: broke up a fight between I think it was James

724
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: Ennis and or Terrence Ross. Maybe I don't know. There

725
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: was there were some bucks involved. There's some magic magic.

726
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if there's a fight in the locker room

727
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, Darvin Ham will be there, I guess.

728
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 3: I guess the one thing that when we we had

729
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: these potential candidates for the Lakers job being interviewed, it

730
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: was Darvin Ham, Mark Jackson, and Terry Stotts, Jenny Akinson

731
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: excuse me, yeah, not not Mark Jackson, it was Kenny Atkinson.

732
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: I guess I questioned whether or not the name was

733
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: big enough to command the room as far as Darvin

734
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 3: Ham was concerned, or Kenny Atkinson. I hope that's that

735
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: sort of idea is kind of going by the wayside

736
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 3: in the NBA. If you're if you're if you know

737
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 3: the game, you played the game as well. I'm sure

738
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 3: that's part of the respect level. But Darvin Ham has

739
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: been there toront Lewit I brought him up. Maybe maybe

740
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: that whole thing of oh you got to get this

741
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: big name coach who's won championships.

742
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

743
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe people don't care about it as much and

744
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: hopefully hopefully they don't, and seemingly Lebron doesn't, right, you know,

745
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 3: but but I don't know, going back to Frank Vogel,

746
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: it just seemed like he was sort of a lame

747
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: duck there, even though he won a championship and you know,

748
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: worked his ass off and knew the game and head

749
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: coach for a long time with Indiana and or Orlando,

750
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: and I don't know, it just feels odd. I think

751
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: a little bit that that they went this this direction,

752
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: Like will will Darvin Ham get all the respect of

753
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 3: your Westbrooks and and.

754
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: Down the line.

755
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 3: I mean, that's I guess that's a bigger question for me.

756
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 3: The roster really is is a huge question.

757
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: It's not like Darmin Ham's going to come in here

758
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: and this team is instantly winning sixty games with the

759
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: current makeup of this team. I mean, even if you

760
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: have Lebron and ad I don't think that's happening. They

761
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of decisions to make and to figured out.

762
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: But they also are going to hope that Ham. I mean,

763
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: you keep saying louis a great comparison. I think that's

764
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: true or you're hoping obviously, but look at Udoka too.

765
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah here on Celtics, sort of same thing. They come

766
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: in obviously said an identity, be a new voice, have

767
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: the respect because especially as as a former player and champion,

768
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: Like I said, so yeah, we'll see congrats with Darvin Ham.

769
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: Everybody loves to see it. Finally here, I'm just going

770
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: to keep saying this until we do it because it's

771
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: only a couple days away. Tuesday night, May thirty first,

772
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: around seven pm Eastern time, it's the No Dunks twenty

773
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: twenty two charity Drive for Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital.

774
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: We had a blast doing this last year and we

775
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: were doing it here in the yard, so we're going

776
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,479
Speaker 1: to be in person altogether in the Classic Factory trying

777
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: to raise money for a great cause in Saint Jude

778
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: Children's Research Hospital. The goal thirty k. We've set the

779
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: bar extremely high this year, so that's on Tuesday night.

780
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Just want to keep planting it in your brain for

781
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: you to join us all on YouTube when we do

782
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,799

Speaker 3: Get over there and enjoy the show because we will

784
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 3: be doing a lot of stupid things. I think in

785
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: the probably like we always do, but in the classic

786
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 3: factor doing it live. Yeah, we'll get to, you know,

787
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: hopefully get to various benchmarks as we did last year.

788
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 3: You know, if we hit five k well, I don't know,

789
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: we'll get Lee to put on his thong or whatever.

790
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 3: Hopefully not, hopefully not, but you know, you get my drift.

791
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: It'll be fun, yeah, I mean yeah, And it's a

792
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: nighttime show. Lee always gets zany at night. You know,

793
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: we'll get a Guinness or two in them too, and

794
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,960

797
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: show on Memorial Day. We're still figuring that out. I

798
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: think a part of it may be how entertaining is

799
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: the game and all that. But you'll have a podcast

800
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,480

801
