Speaker 2: I will teach you the ladies how to undo that.
Speaker 2: Let's jump right to the show. The Thunder take a
Speaker 2: two oh series lead against the Pelicans. Shay Gill just
Speaker 2: thirty three points five as cents, two steals, Check Homer
Speaker 2: in twenty six points seven rebounds, two blocks, Jay doves Man,
Speaker 2: they got all the Williams. If you your last name
Speaker 2: is Williams, and you black, and you in Oklahoma, you
Speaker 2: play for the you play for the Thunder. He had
Speaker 2: twenty one points, five rebounds, seven a cents. When they
Speaker 2: take a commanding lead two oh as they blow out
Speaker 2: the Pelicans one ninety two ninety two. The Thunder looks
Speaker 2: sensational last night, I mean two night, excuse me, and
Speaker 2: they were barking all over the arena. Gil, you've watched
Speaker 2: this game closely. What did you like about? How did
Speaker 2: the Thunder make it look so easy?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: They just have too much Fireparwer. I mean, these guys
Speaker 2: don't play well together and without Zion, it's really not
Speaker 2: a fair matchup. I mean they they beat their booty
Speaker 2: off they back tonight. Yeah, I mean this is not
Speaker 2: even a fair matchup. This this little literally looks like
Speaker 2: an a seed, right. They actually the Pails should have
Speaker 2: stole that game one. They had Game one, Giard, that
Speaker 2: was the one they should have had, and they let
Speaker 2: that one get away from them, and the Thunder made
Speaker 2: sure tonight we're not gonna even put you in that
Speaker 2: situation where you think you could have won. We gonna
Speaker 2: go ahead and take care of this thing early on
Speaker 2: and make sure you know that your guys come for
Speaker 2: a quarter gonna be sitting down chilling because this game.
Speaker 2: Game is over and you're getting ready for Game three.
Speaker 1: Hey, the Thunder as a team as a whole, the
Speaker 1: Thunder played much better. They played much better than the Pelicans,
Speaker 1: obviously when the Pelicans don't have Zion. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they lost, but they look lost out there. Hell, the
Speaker 1: goddamn Thunder Tree or the Night had eighty points together
Speaker 1: and they shot damn sixty five percent from the damn field.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, when you get that kind of production from
Speaker 2: your big three, it's hard to beat them when you
Speaker 2: are allowed team to shoot. First of all, you give
Speaker 2: up thirty five in the first quarter, you give up
Speaker 2: twenty eight, So now you've given up sixty three points
Speaker 2: at the half, and then you give them for another
Speaker 2: twenty nine, and you give up thirty two in the four.
Speaker 2: And so when you get your big three and they
Speaker 2: give you that kind of production on that kind of efficiency, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard. Really Yeah. And this is hard
Speaker 2: to overcome back when you're talking about the playoffs, Like,
Speaker 2: there's a golden rule that we have as a road team,
Speaker 2: the easiest game to win is usually game one. That's
Speaker 2: the one you want because the pressure is on the
Speaker 2: home squad, right, they have you know, they didn't sleep,
Speaker 2: they got the kids at home, they got the lives whatever.
Speaker 2: That is, right, There's so much anxiety be about about
Speaker 2: playing that first game, so that is usually the easiest one,
Speaker 2: you know. So the fact that they can get that
Speaker 2: one kind of let you know they're gonna get their
Speaker 2: ass beat today. And the fact that Ingram is not
Speaker 2: even showing up right, You're you're, You're, You're supposed to
Speaker 2: be the second best player on the court. They go
Speaker 2: shade then you. And the fact that you're only getting
Speaker 2: ten shots up and yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not nearly enough.
Speaker 2: I mean they had ballot production. I mean, if you
Speaker 2: look at it, he was five or ten perfect from
Speaker 2: the free throw line. Herb John Herb with six and
Speaker 2: nine four seven from three perfect from the free throw line.
Speaker 2: But it's just not enough shots. Trey Murphy was two
Speaker 2: or six from the three point line. There were seven
Speaker 2: to twenty six. When you go seven to twenty six
Speaker 2: and you get outscored by twenty one from the three
Speaker 2: point line and your best player is not there, you
Speaker 2: have to get more production from your guys. B I
Speaker 2: needed to be around thirty. CJ. McCullum, who had a
Speaker 2: great stretch of about ten games. He needs to be
Speaker 2: around twenty five. And now we get HERB to come
Speaker 2: in their HERB or traded Trey Murphy, the third one
Speaker 2: of those guys needs to give you somewhere around twenty
Speaker 2: five to match this kind of production, especially on the road.
Speaker 2: Gil Yeah, Jones, I mean someone born in what ninety
Speaker 2: eight caught me and called HERB. Come on god?
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I have a question about the MVP discussion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: real quick, I know, I know it's still the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but Sean Gilgers Alexander, he shot thirteen to nineteen to night, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had thirty three points.
Speaker 4: Yes, what are the chances of him winning MVP over
Speaker 4: over Luca? I'm just KILLO.
Speaker 2: Did you see did you see Jokis the other night
Speaker 2: against Anthony Davis twenty seven, twenty and Tenait.
Speaker 4: Hold on, wait, so he running away with it again?
Speaker 2: They already got the vote, saying O Joe the playoffs
Speaker 2: that they had to vote. They had to get the
Speaker 2: votes in before the play in tournament, before the play
Speaker 2: in tournament started, So those votes alone the playoffs, the
Speaker 2: regular season MVP and the postseason. The postseason has no
Speaker 2: bearing on the regular season. Okay, yeah, so yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's one of those things where it's before the playoffs start.
Speaker 2: But uh, from how we we we seen who was
Speaker 2: most was the most improved? Yeah, we can just say,
Speaker 2: all right, they are they already started on some bull crap.
Speaker 2: They are nov read nov read what gill is talking about.
Speaker 2: A lot of people thought elite Monk. He led him, storing,
Speaker 2: he led him, assist, he led him May three off
Speaker 2: the bitch. He've made a lot of category but Naves
Speaker 2: Red beating out for six Man of the Year. M hmm. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know Na's got the bid because he got to
Speaker 2: start some games. Yeah, starts some games, you get, you get,
Speaker 2: you know, some more shots that you normally wouldn't get
Speaker 2: when you're coming off the bench. So that usually that
Speaker 2: usually helps a lot of those six men's the six
Speaker 2: men that play starters, starter minutes or they start some
Speaker 2: games that year, right, they're usually have an advantage over
Speaker 2: that six man award. Oh so hold on, you say
Speaker 2: most improved? Did you think Maxie didn't desert? You think Maxie? No? Oh,
Speaker 2: you thought Kobe White should have won Most Improved? Yeah,
Speaker 2: because Kobe White from last year he was a bench player.
Speaker 2: Last year, yeah he got put so he averaged nine
Speaker 2: and then this year ten, which is a plus ten
Speaker 2: right right, I mean yeah nine and average nineteen Okay?
Speaker 2: Last year, MAXI average twenty right right? This year five
Speaker 2: point nine? Right? Right? But how WHITE judge Maxie is
Speaker 2: you started off great and bid left? Who were you
Speaker 2: when embiid was gone? When you were the number on
Speaker 2: one option? Who were you? Your team was sixteen and
Speaker 2: twenty seven?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: So he was a bottom fitting team and you then
Speaker 2: carrying him on your team? Lets me know you wasn't
Speaker 2: the most improved. And that's how I judge it. Okay, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: I see what you're like, Yeah, plus five? What did
Speaker 2: you do when and Beid? Like if you if you
Speaker 2: had a player five? But your team was the other
Speaker 2: way twenty seven and sixteen? Oh yes, you get it.
Speaker 2: But the fact that y'all was a bottom feeding team
Speaker 2: when MB wasn't on the floor, right, let me know
Speaker 2: what you really were?
Speaker 1: Hey, So Gil that means when when NB goes out,
Speaker 1: does MAXI have to make up for that lack of production?
Speaker 2: Not the production as a whole, m right, it's it's
Speaker 2: you're playing at a fifty percent page or you're a
Speaker 2: little bit of over five hundred. You're supposed to be
Speaker 2: the most improved. You're supposed to be the second best player.
Speaker 2: You should show some type of leadership when the number
Speaker 2: one player is gone. And when Zion went down, Ingram
Speaker 2: was holding the ship for board. You have to be
Speaker 2: able to hold the ship right kind of what you
Speaker 2: see ant Man doing when Cat goes down. That's what
Speaker 2: he wanted to see Maxi do when Embid went down.
Speaker 2: So instead of getting your average, no, we need to
Speaker 2: see you go from average in twenty to averaging thirty
Speaker 2: six like Brunson. If they said Brunson is the most improved,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even batter because his dominance when he lost
Speaker 2: his uh jurra and a lot of players on that
Speaker 2: team and put the team on his back. Mitchell Robinson
Speaker 2: looks like when you will go back and you look
Speaker 2: at Jaylen Bronson when Luca went down a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. That's what got him that payday in New York.
Speaker 2: That's why Dallas regretted not giving him that three year
Speaker 2: extension for fifty five million, because now they see, like,
Speaker 2: hold on, wait a minute, Oh, if we put the
Speaker 2: ball in your hand. You're capable of doing this because
Speaker 2: you know, oh yo, we've seen this before. We don't
Speaker 2: know what a guy is capable of because he's playing
Speaker 2: behind somebody. Then he goes and gets his own team.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like Julius when a Bi he left
Speaker 2: the Lakers and goes to the All Star Game. Now
Speaker 2: I got the ball, I don't, I won't. I don't
Speaker 2: have to share it with Lebron. I got the ball
Speaker 2: all by myself. And so now you see these guys.
Speaker 2: You see Jude Ramdall when he leaves, he's not having
Speaker 2: to share the ball before Brunson get there. He's an
Speaker 2: All Star player. So what we're saying is that when guys,
Speaker 2: when you're a it's a two star team. When one
Speaker 2: of the stars go out, the other star must do more,
Speaker 2: even more m h. Whether it's points, whether it's rebounds,
Speaker 2: whether it's assists, but we need to see more of
Speaker 2: your impact on the game. And he's saying that when
Speaker 2: when Embiid goes out, we didn't see that. We didn't
Speaker 2: see that level of production go up because they were
Speaker 2: losing games left and right. And Kobe White, I agree,
Speaker 2: Kobe White was was was unbelievable. I mean a ten
Speaker 2: point increase. Yes, that it's hard to do that. That's
Speaker 2: very hard to do because it's still the Rozan's team
Speaker 2: and at the start of the season. Now, I think
Speaker 2: what helped Kobe White is when Zach Levine goes out Gil,
Speaker 2: because you ain't gonna be able to get that many
Speaker 2: shots with Levine and the Rosing in the game, so
Speaker 2: I gotta give up, so one of those guys goes out,
Speaker 2: And that's what you're saying. He's like, well, I'm giving
Speaker 2: you not quite, but I'm giving you a lot of
Speaker 2: the production that was lost with Levin. I'm giving you
Speaker 2: some of that production back. But I won't fight you
Speaker 2: on that, Gill.
Speaker 4: I won't.
Speaker 2: I won't fight you and say Kobe White should have been,
Speaker 2: should have been a most improved player. But the Shaka
Speaker 2: of the night, the Heat beat the Celtics a time.
Speaker 1: Out of time, out of time? Why would you start
Speaker 1: that segment off like that? What you mean the shock
Speaker 1: of the night? What you mean the shock of the night?
Speaker 2: If the night?
Speaker 1: Did you expect did you expect Boston to come into
Speaker 1: Miami and beat the Heat?
Speaker 2: They were in Boston, same thing. Yeah yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: Boston is close. I mean both of them on water,
Speaker 2: so I can see how you won. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But I'm just asking, yes, just just real quick, before
Speaker 1: we even talk about the Celtics Heat game, do you
Speaker 1: do you expect Boston to beat the Heat I'm just curious,
Speaker 1: even though we don't have, even though Jimmy Butler's out there,
Speaker 1: you expect them to be winning series.
Speaker 2: Boston was the overwhelming betting favorite. Yes, right right there,
Speaker 2: the old whelman. So how about you bet. Let's let's
Speaker 2: let's bet too, Let's bet two hundred. Run it.
Speaker 4: That's bet on the series. Run it all right, throw
Speaker 4: it on the floor.
Speaker 2: All right? Yes, you know what I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 2: money out of fight, call a fight. Oh, let me
Speaker 2: get myey.
Speaker 4: I don't want to have to hurt you now.
Speaker 2: Because you know, all of a sudden, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Moneys, get all of a sudden money, get
Speaker 2: a smell to it. You know, when you would I
Speaker 2: give it to you, they got no smell. But when
Speaker 2: I asked my money back, man, here go your little
Speaker 2: funk at two hundred dollars. It's smoking now, you little steak,
Speaker 2: my little steak in two hundred dollars. Now, huh, go
Speaker 2: to it. You should have said smoking before I gave
Speaker 2: it to your heads.
Speaker 4: One thing, one thing you should never do. Never bet.
Speaker 1: Never bet against poture. Never never never bet against spolture
Speaker 1: and what he can do, he can do more with less.
Speaker 1: And you ain't learning your lesson yet? Could you just
Speaker 1: bet against us?
Speaker 2: Miami goes into Boston win by ten, as they said,
Speaker 2: a franchise record for threes. They made twenty. They made
Speaker 2: twenty three threes. They made thirty seven field goals, twenty
Speaker 2: three of them were threes. So the other fourteen game
Speaker 2: won two point shots and they were fourteen to eighteen
Speaker 2: from the field. And that was really the difference of
Speaker 2: the ball game. They beat Boston at their own game.
Speaker 2: Boston takes the most makes the most threes. Tonight Miami
Speaker 2: gave them a dose of their own medicine. Got great production.
Speaker 2: They're starting five. Everybody was in double figures. Hobvic had
Speaker 2: eleven points, Caleb Martin had twenty one points on five
Speaker 2: or six from three. Bam By the Bayo had a
Speaker 2: double double twenty one points and ten rebounds. Tyler Herod
Speaker 2: with six of eleven from three, he had twenty four points.
Speaker 2: Haimi Hiker Junior. He was three or six from the
Speaker 2: three point line. He had fourteen points. Duncan Robinson he
Speaker 2: had six points. He was two or seven from the three.
Speaker 2: Hennad high Smith is a hunter high Smith. What's high
Speaker 2: Smith's first name? High Smith was three with three or
Speaker 2: five from the three. He had nine points right, one
Speaker 2: of three. So when you get when you shoot fifty
Speaker 2: three percent with that many three's gil yo, yep? What's
Speaker 2: your I mean? What is the team gonna do? Hayward
Speaker 2: Hayward high Smith, Heywood high Smith, Heywood high not Hayward Yeah,
Speaker 2: Heywood high Smith double a ba's only he ain't even
Speaker 2: important enough to know his name. But you know, I
Speaker 2: never understood Boston when they play against Miami. Right, Miami
Speaker 2: is a small team. Heat play small. Right. They want
Speaker 2: you to play the same style because that's their greatness. Right,
Speaker 2: Boston does it every single time you play the Miami style.
Speaker 2: If they want to shoot threes, drive the ball, Tatum,
Speaker 2: who's gonna block you? Brown, Who's gonna block you? Right?
Speaker 2: They don't have anybody. You're putting so much pressure on
Speaker 2: Bam if you attack that basket, there's nothing he can do.
Speaker 2: And once he's out of the game, who do they have.
Speaker 2: But the fact that you're gonna sit there and shoot
Speaker 2: jumpers all day, it's just benefits Miami and that's why
Speaker 2: they keep taking these elder them. But that's the Ojo
Speaker 2: before you go. But that's their game, though, Gill. And then,
Speaker 2: like I said, we as I said in the intro,
Speaker 2: nobody takes more and nobody makes more. They got a
Speaker 2: sixty days like hold on, Gil, we got a sixty
Speaker 2: four and eighteen record. We had to be doing something
Speaker 2: right and they got him in trouble. Go ahead, Ojo.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna say you know, I mentioned I said
Speaker 1: that he was playing at home, and I actually understood
Speaker 1: they were playing at the Garden. But if you if
Speaker 1: you knew and did your homework like I did my homework,
Speaker 1: Damn heat owned the Celtics at the Garden in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the heat of one.
Speaker 1: Listen, the heated one the last five or seven games
Speaker 1: in the playoffs against the Celtics. Which is why I
Speaker 1: don't understand as a bet man, as a gambler yourself,
Speaker 1: why you would even take that bet knowing that the
Speaker 1: Heat is gonna win this series.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't. I don't. I don't think. Look, if
Speaker 2: you told me that the Heat would win a game
Speaker 2: or two, I wouldn't be shot. Win the series is
Speaker 2: a bit much. I'm sure there's some Heat fans that
Speaker 2: probably would take that bet, but I don't know how many,
Speaker 2: because they don't show their ass up to the game.
Speaker 2: Y'all believe so much in the Heat, and y'all don't
Speaker 2: even go to the game.
Speaker 4: We show up to the game.
Speaker 2: No, you don't know. You don't know. You don't we feel.
Speaker 4: We feel that we feel the arena every night.
Speaker 2: You know, you don't. No, Yes, they go. They go
Speaker 2: from the club straight to the game, back to the club. Hey, hey, dog, Yil,
Speaker 2: they come at halftime with the game.
Speaker 1: That's gonna traffic traffic bad, traffic bad downtown.
Speaker 2: That's all I think. Look. Jason Tatum was ten of
Speaker 2: twenty two of six six eight from the he had
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Jaylen Brown was thirteen of twenty three four
Speaker 2: nine from three three or six five. He was a
Speaker 2: minus twenty two. Presidents was a minus thirty two. And so, Jil,
Speaker 2: let me ask you this. This is what I want
Speaker 2: to know because I'm watching the game, and I know
Speaker 2: a lot of times we go into a game and
Speaker 2: O Joe, you know this. They might say, Okay, this
Speaker 2: guy isn't good at that, so let him do it well.
Speaker 2: He doesn't shoot the three ball really well, so don't
Speaker 2: worry about him. Let's not leave Tyler. He Rode Duncan
Speaker 2: Robinson somebody like that. But at one point in time,
Speaker 2: do you see, Okay, he made one. Damn he made
Speaker 2: another one. Now I ain't in the old react hold on.
Speaker 2: At some point in time, Gil, you like, hold on.
Speaker 2: We got to hug up. We got to challenge some
Speaker 2: of these three We can't just be a go ahead
Speaker 2: and shoot it. This is thing I don't know why
Speaker 2: players do this. If a coach says, and the scouting
Speaker 2: port is they can't shoot, slow rotate to them. All
Speaker 2: of us do it. We ain't even gonna show up
Speaker 2: over there, right, he can't shoot do the wave. He
Speaker 2: gonna hit, He's gonna hit two or three those Now
Speaker 2: it's too late. Yes, you got a rhythm. Now as
Speaker 2: soon as you get it, I'm gonna overrun it. He
Speaker 2: gonna drive by me. Now I'm gonna hesitate, he gonna
Speaker 2: shoot the shot. Now. Now he's playing. Now I'm he's
Speaker 2: playing the puppet Master with me. Now he's sitting he's
Speaker 2: sitting there doing this with me. Yeah, and now problem
Speaker 2: you still this is this is still an NBA player, Yes, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he can't shoot when someone has a hand in his face.
Speaker 2: But everybody can shoot wide open. Yeah, like shot shooting
Speaker 2: free throws in practice, He's shooting about eighty percent in
Speaker 2: the game, right, Yeah, you can't bring practice to players
Speaker 2: like this. If a guy can't shoot, do not tempt
Speaker 2: him to shoot those shots, because once he gets rolling,
Speaker 2: his confidence is there. Yeah, it's still eire to challenge
Speaker 2: it knowing that he wants to drive. They letting guys
Speaker 2: shoot shoot around three everybody, everybody on the NBA roster,
Speaker 2: with the exception of probably Bobon and Bobon probably could
Speaker 2: make two a team. But for the most part, on't
Speaker 2: your note real talk. If you've been to the game,
Speaker 2: you watch these guys shoot the basketball, and guys hit
Speaker 2: like five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten shots in a row,
Speaker 2: and he might not even see the he might not
Speaker 2: even see the court. You leave a guy wide open.
Speaker 2: It's just like we get a game playing. Okay, this
Speaker 2: guy's not that strong at the point of attack and
Speaker 2: he doesn't bend the edge of Well, well, come halftime,
Speaker 2: he's got two sacks and five pressures. Well we got
Speaker 2: to change. We got to slide the protection to him.
Speaker 2: I know what the Scotty reports say. It did not
Speaker 2: know what Mike's gonna do. He's gonna start sliding the protection,
Speaker 2: or he's gonna have the back to chip his way out.
Speaker 2: You got to all to that. But all they did
Speaker 2: half heartedly run halfway there, stick a hand up with
Speaker 2: a guy jumping. He don't even see your hand, and
Speaker 2: once they get into a rhythm, they don't even see you.
Speaker 2: But I was I was surprised that Boston didn't really
Speaker 2: alter anything. They were just like, Okay, we're gonna hope,
Speaker 2: you're gonna miss, you're miss You're not gonna make that many.
Speaker 2: Well they might not make twenty three again, but they
Speaker 2: made them that night, and you made no adjustment, right,
Speaker 2: Parler Mins, What do you think they do in Miami?
Speaker 2: What What is Duncan Robertson gonna do besides shoot three?
Speaker 2: What is Hero gonna do besides shoot three? What is
Speaker 2: Kevin Love when he come in the game. What you
Speaker 2: think he gonna do? Sure, he can't, he can't move. No,
Speaker 2: we play in Miami. If Kevin Love is out there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Kevin Love. But I guess beat hurt the only person
Speaker 2: that don't shoot three. He says, bam, bam, yeah and bam.
Speaker 2: Would that one go? He'll let one go? Hope we go.
Speaker 2: At the end of the shock lock May, I'm like, well, hell,
Speaker 2: I gotta let it go. It's gonna be a turnover.
Speaker 2: But I don't want to turnover, So I take a miss,
Speaker 2: chuck it up.
Speaker 4: What's what's the chances.
Speaker 1: What's the chances we get we get Jimmy back before
Speaker 1: the series end?
Speaker 4: Slim to none?
Speaker 2: Get what injury? Uh?
Speaker 4: Just attle, just little spraying. Let's sprain you.
Speaker 2: You're gonna try to hold off as long as possible.
Speaker 2: And I hope they don't shoot him up with the
Speaker 2: tour it All or whatever they got now that new stuff,
Speaker 2: you know, just so he can go out there and play.
Speaker 2: I think you know, pat Riley, would you know like
Speaker 2: they did Hero last year, They're not gonna put him
Speaker 2: in the fire if his knee ain't ready, right, they
Speaker 2: gonna tease it. They're gonna tease the old Jimmy coming back.
Speaker 2: They might do that a couple couple of times, right,
Speaker 2: but I don't see them. If it's spraying, they're gonna
Speaker 2: they're gonna really be careful about it. Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 2: I just don't get what Boston was thinking. That's a team.
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, they ain't got a guy
Speaker 2: who's gonna really drive the basketball. I mean, so what
Speaker 2: they're gonna do. They're gonna shoot three Jimmy, if donald
Speaker 2: one that's willing to put the ball in the basket,
Speaker 2: ball on the floor and consistently get to the basket,
Speaker 2: like you said, those other guys they're looking to get
Speaker 2: three balls off. That's their game. That's it. And but look,
Speaker 2: we know Boston normally takes around. They try to get
Speaker 2: around forty. They try to get you know, it's bad.
Speaker 2: They only got thirty two threes up, Gil, they tried.
Speaker 2: They normally in the forties. I really don't understand, like
Speaker 2: you're letting just drive just first half. I'm telling hey, listen,
Speaker 2: I know we like threes. I'll make it up to
Speaker 2: your next round right now, drive every time you get
Speaker 2: the ball, because once Bam goes down that team is
Speaker 2: basically six six in below right, yeah right, that's the Philippines.
Speaker 2: Philippine gotta lead everybody. Look six three in under right,
Speaker 2: sist everybody? Everybody guards after that. If it's so, anybody
Speaker 2: before you go with your if it's not harm high cares.
Speaker 2: I'm running everybody else off the three point line. I
Speaker 2: know caler Market shoot three. I know Tyler he Roke
Speaker 2: and shoot three. I know Duncan Robinson can shoot three.
Speaker 2: I know uh uh uh he can shoot three if
Speaker 2: it if it ain't want to call him heim And
Speaker 2: I'm running him off to and hopefully we get rotation
Speaker 2: over because he'll go away.
Speaker 1: He'll bam on you. Now, oh he'll he'll flush it
Speaker 1: on you. Okay, so we next game, we got Game three.
Speaker 1: We're Game three, Game three in Miami and Miami. Okay,
Speaker 1: Game three is in Miami. Yes, Let's say the Septics
Speaker 1: come back and they make the adjustments based off what
Speaker 1: Gillis talk about, and they say, you know we're gonna
Speaker 1: put the ball on the floor, We're gonna drive yeah constantly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So all.
Speaker 1: Sports gonna do is just make the adjustments as well.
Speaker 1: If okay, we're not gonna hike up threes. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna hike up threes. We're gonna move the ball
Speaker 1: around enough. Put the ball in the lord and when
Speaker 1: you have your opportunities, pick roll. I mean, whatever you
Speaker 1: gotta do mid range coming come in to play, Bam
Speaker 1: backing down? Who they got who they got to stop
Speaker 1: baming in the paint outside of porzing and we don't
Speaker 1: we don't see, we don't see Bade buddy. He was
Speaker 1: bad though. He was one for nine, oh for four.
Speaker 1: He was a minus thirty two and thirty minutes. See
Speaker 1: his confidence already shot Holiday didn't play much better. We're
Speaker 1: gonna we had him in the paint. Get down the
Speaker 1: Bam Bam put man, put a little put a little
Speaker 1: muscle on. He miss a rap.
Speaker 4: Again, and we're gonna win. We're gonna win Game three
Speaker 4: in Miami too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they did to day, they will like they
Speaker 2: don't have any shot blockers. That's the only problem in Miami.
Speaker 2: They don't have any shot blockers. So if you attack
Speaker 2: the rim, you put so much pressure on Bam him
Speaker 2: to back right, and you you asking if Bam has
Speaker 2: to jump, he gets his first fout or he goes
Speaker 2: for a block and don't get it the offensive rebound.
Speaker 2: You go to see the frustration on his face. So
Speaker 2: there's there's there's strategies within strategies in the playoffs, and
Speaker 2: Boston thinks this is regular season. They you for a reason,
Speaker 2: it's not. Your team has not been dominated in a
Speaker 2: regular season. You've been dominant Boston, right, this team has
Speaker 2: beaten you. There's a reason why they figured out you.
Speaker 2: Guys don't like to get hit, so they're gonna beat
Speaker 2: up on you and try to keep you out there
Speaker 2: to shoot. It's like a boxer, right, if you're fighting
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson, you're gonna try to use it link. You
Speaker 2: don't want to get in your body. You don't want
Speaker 2: to be in the pocket with you. Now, Mike Tyson
Speaker 2: can never get to the body. That's that's what it is.
Speaker 2: They're trying to keep going and keeps going to keep
Speaker 2: swinging from back there. You you can't hurt me, if it,
Speaker 2: if it, if it jovid or Hobby Jovich is Yovic
Speaker 2: Jovich Yovich and you really you really trying to learn? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know I won't be you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: People like man that ain't a man name Yovich. Well,
Speaker 2: oh that we jumped up. But guess what, we're gonna
Speaker 2: go ahead and get it now. We're gonna go get
Speaker 2: it down. Go ahead, go ahead, run it, run run
Speaker 2: the news cap news cap rough her Yannis, updated from
Speaker 2: Shams Seams said, I'm told Yannis has at least started
Speaker 2: to do some stationary jump shooting, but still not much cutting, scrimmaging,
Speaker 2: no all out running yet. I think the Bugs have
Speaker 2: been prepared to keep playing on without Jannis. Yeah, we knew,
Speaker 2: I mean, I hope they didn't think this is gonna
Speaker 2: interrupt our normally schedule programming. We know there's there's a
Speaker 2: very slim chance that Jannis is gonna return in this series,
Speaker 2: a very slim and I'm thinking maybe game six or
Speaker 2: seven gilds. But I don't see a scenario. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe you, I mean, you've dealt with the proper dealt
Speaker 2: with calf injuries in basketball, A lot of plants, stop cutting, jumping,
Speaker 2: things of that nature. But what do you think, do
Speaker 2: you think we see him before game six or seven,
Speaker 2: if we see him at all, and let's they get
Speaker 2: to the championship, Johannis ain't coming back, and if he does,
Speaker 2: they are stupid, because any if if, if you know
Speaker 2: anyone who tore their their achilles. Yeah, let's it's just
Speaker 2: random right there. Usually the low calf strain is where
Speaker 2: it starts software low cash strained, high achilles, right, That's
Speaker 2: that's where it's connected at. So that happened to Kevin
Speaker 2: Directedy and he came back, and we see what happened
Speaker 2: for him. It was his right leg, which is not
Speaker 2: his jumping leg, so it doesn't affect his game, Giannis,
Speaker 2: it's his jumping leg right right, So the way he
Speaker 2: plays this game, there's no way he can come back
Speaker 2: in the playoffs trying to do what he do and
Speaker 2: won't have a high probability tearing that a cl I
Speaker 2: mean that achilles. Yo, there's no point in bringing him back.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it'd be it'd be it'll be career suicide
Speaker 2: if you do. What'd you thinking about, Joe?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I mean it's obviously I think it's a
Speaker 1: calf strain. And now you come back too soon from that,
Speaker 1: you're gonna compromise other areas of your lower your lower
Speaker 1: extremities and the compreson. Yeah, you're gonna start commensating. And
Speaker 1: the first thing that's gonna go is that Achilles. And
Speaker 1: then what's gonna what's gonna make it even worse is
Speaker 1: if you take any type of tort or you take
Speaker 1: any type of pain medication, that doesn't matter you. Yeah
Speaker 1: that matc though you don't know it's hurting. Man, Listen,
Speaker 1: you gonn you're gonna tear everything up below that knee.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, yes, sir, out of have.
Speaker 1: I had to say one time, just one time, I tore.
Speaker 1: I tore my labor from twelve to six. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I was wearing a brace, and I took a tour
Speaker 1: it off for two games just to be able to
Speaker 1: get through that pain of having a to raise up.
Speaker 4: Obviously the brace wouldn't allow me to come all the
Speaker 4: way up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but boy, when I when I got about right here,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be able if the ball was
Speaker 1: a little high, I wanted to be able to reach
Speaker 1: up and go get it. But once you know, once
Speaker 1: that a drilling start running on, Man, I ain't feel nothing.
Speaker 2: But after that game, you gotta tell me, hey, out

Speaker 4: That made no sense to me.
Speaker 2: Actually, they need they went look look elementary school, Oh Joe,
Speaker 2: when I'm investing that comp let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2: If somebody said, oh, Jo, I got a deal and
Speaker 2: I need you to invest ten million, I need you
Speaker 2: to invest twenty million, thirty million, you're gonna take their
Speaker 2: word for it to what are you gonna do some
Speaker 2: background checking? Do me?
Speaker 1: Do me just as I understand, I understand doing the
Speaker 1: background check. Please explain to me how talking to my
Speaker 1: elementary teachers in nineteen eighty five, nineteen.
Speaker 2: Eighty two or whateverpened. What type of kides that have
Speaker 2: to do with anything? Was he disrupted? Did he steal?

Speaker 2: day you middle plans you ain't broke? You good? We
Speaker 2: to rob you being O Choe would rob you. But
Speaker 2: I'm just saying the stuff may be asking like if
Speaker 2: you drive me all these problems go away. Now Now
Speaker 2: some of the stuff I will, I will conceive. Some
Speaker 2: of the stuff that they asked goes overboard ridiculous. Now
Speaker 2: that you heard the story about about black man from Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: State, just black.
Speaker 2: Man, they went down down what happened at one one
Speaker 2: gym said he went to Oklahoma State. He didn't know
Speaker 2: who he was. He said he was in a bar.
Speaker 2: He went to this bar five days in a row.
Speaker 2: Guess who was in the bar having a drink every
Speaker 2: day that he was there. Oh yo, oh yo. Tell
Speaker 2: the people who got who's out of the league, because
Speaker 2: why that's why you do That's why you do it.
Speaker 4: Jackson Jackson Jacksonville, justin black.
Speaker 2: As the issue, the issue that he had in Oklahoma State.
Speaker 2: One Jacksonville didn't do that homework. One team did their homework,
Speaker 2: took him off their board. When I'm in when you
Speaker 2: invest that kind of money, it's just like you probably
Speaker 2: if you're gonna invest that kind of time and energy
Speaker 2: and money in a young lady in today's time, you
Speaker 2: better go do some background. M I mean today you
Speaker 2: do have to go back to element Now you gotta
Speaker 2: go back to elementary. You just to make sure what
Speaker 2: it was. You go get feet, then we go. We
Speaker 2: gotta mo the conversation long. We got to move the conversation.
Speaker 2: We had food, we kill bad, sad bad. Hey.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's a good one. You do
Speaker 2: you you do? Uh huh oh, Joe, see right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, hey, hey, listen.
Speaker 2: Eighty five man, I'm two fifteen right there with you
Speaker 2: know you're not.
Speaker 1: You see how many abs I got yeah, three four, five, six, seven, eight,
Speaker 1: nine ten ten cheersel three percent, body fat sixty three
Speaker 1: two fifteen for one.
Speaker 2: That was me a squirrel leaning in a bear.
Speaker 4: Hey.
Speaker 1: One thing about I was held when I was well. Now, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I tell you. They voted me America's
Speaker 1: sexiest man alive in two thousand and five.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and five, Yeah.
Speaker 1: A sexiest man alive. And that there wasn't nothing, It
Speaker 1: wasn't nothing like me. I was Marie Chestnut before Marie's Chestnut.
Speaker 1: I was Blair Underwood before Blair Underwood.
Speaker 2: Hey, hold on, because because we got drafted, to say,
Speaker 2: you said in two thousand and five, No, no, I'm
Speaker 2: saying I got draft in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until I came into myself and puberty hit.
Speaker 1: Then I became the sexiest man alive for like a year.
Speaker 1: After that, that shit fell, I fell off after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you better be okay. I'm just checking because I was.
Speaker 2: I was back then. It was I was sexy in
Speaker 2: forty six States. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they banded me, y'all
Speaker 2: already Yeah yeah, hey, forty forty six, forty six, I
Speaker 2: was still working on the other ones. Oh man, man, y'all,
Speaker 2: y'all need help. Are the gil Let me ask you this,
Speaker 2: are the Sons too top heavy? After seeing the Suns
Speaker 2: being overwhelmed again losing two games by an average of
Speaker 2: eighteen points, even with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal
Speaker 2: all playing heavy minutes, are we witnessing the end of
Speaker 2: the super team era, or at least superteam as we
Speaker 2: once knew them composed a big fridge of signings surrounded
Speaker 2: by bat minimum players. I mean we've seen this when
Speaker 2: you know Lebron went to Miami that first that first
Speaker 2: year it was the Big three and you had a
Speaker 2: bunch of minimum players. Uh, this might be that year
Speaker 2: for them where they are a little top heavy. But
Speaker 2: for the most part, they do have enough pieces. They're
Speaker 2: just not using them right right you you you, you
Speaker 2: have been three individuals out there that's trying to still
Speaker 2: figure out who needs the ball, how they're going to
Speaker 2: get the ball, how they're going to get their shots.
Speaker 2: When I'm open, if you're on, I need to pass
Speaker 2: you the ball. There's there's still in this this this
Speaker 2: is like training camp issues.
Speaker 4: Okay, so the.
Speaker 2: Fact in the playoffs and they're still trying to figure
Speaker 2: out what players are going to call them, who's going
Speaker 2: to get the ball. But for the most part, they
Speaker 2: have they have a solid, solid top seven players. Okay,
Speaker 2: and that's our That's pretty much all you need. You
Speaker 2: need seven to eight in the playoff, that's all you need.
Speaker 2: That nine, ten, eleven man rotation. Hey, bro, y'all nothing
Speaker 2: to get them five to six, eight minutes, y'all getting
Speaker 2: in the regular season. As we go along further, you
Speaker 2: got to allow on your guys to play forty forty
Speaker 2: to forty four minutes unless you're blowing somebody out and
Speaker 2: then you hopefully you have a bad game or you
Speaker 2: get blown out, and so now obviously that's gonna reduce
Speaker 2: your minutes because you're not gonna be playing meaningless minutes.
Speaker 2: When there's no you down by thirty at the start
Speaker 2: of the fourth quarter, you're gonna be out of the
Speaker 2: ball game. But for the most part, Yeah, but you
Speaker 2: say pieces and that's kind of what they h Grace.
Speaker 2: Now Grayson Allen is gone. He led I think, if
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, I think he led the league in
Speaker 2: a three point percentage. So he was one of your snipers.
Speaker 2: When you try to you know, you try to double
Speaker 2: to get the ball out of books hand. He could
Speaker 2: throw it, skip it to Grayson Allen because he's won
Speaker 2: some game for him. He's been their leaves Cord. Same
Speaker 2: thing with kd. But there's no reason that these three
Speaker 2: shouldn't be How Bosh Wade and Lebron word, Well, who's
Speaker 2: gonna be Bosh? They don't. Kevin Duran can be either one.
Speaker 2: He can be anyone he wants to be. He can
Speaker 2: be anyone he wants to be at this moment in time.
Speaker 2: But there's this It's like how in football Brady and
Speaker 2: Grunk played, right, Yeah, great, Grunke and Adaman, Right, that's
Speaker 2: that's three. They don't play like that. They they don't
Speaker 2: play together like that. They you get it, I'm gonna drive.
Speaker 2: I'll give it to you. You drive it. They're not
Speaker 2: playing through each other, okay, and that.
Speaker 4: They're playing individually.
Speaker 2: They're playing individually. And if why don't have it, I'll
Speaker 2: give it to you. If you don't have it, you,
Speaker 2: that's not that's not how you you win games in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You gotta we have to all be on
Speaker 2: the same accord. Right If I have the ball and
Speaker 2: I turn left, you're going back door because your man
Speaker 2: is looking at me, and then I'm gonna dribble, hand
Speaker 2: it off to you. Then I'm gonna slash. It's the
Speaker 2: three headed combo. And they're not playing that way right now.
Speaker 2: You know what they need. They need a big that
Speaker 2: can score. I know your nerd get the rebounds, he
Speaker 2: can say, but if just imagine that they had a
Speaker 2: big that can score. You see the way Maxie plays
Speaker 2: off of Embiid, You see the way Jamal Murray, you
Speaker 2: see the way Porter Jr. Playoff yoke. When you got
Speaker 2: a big that can score. See, I would rather have
Speaker 2: a big that can give me a consistent twelve fourteen
Speaker 2: as opposed to having Bradley Beal with book with book
Speaker 2: and KD a D. If you look at it, really,
Speaker 2: Ayton is what Ayton didn't want to be in. Ayton
Speaker 2: didn't want to be in Phoenix anymore. For whatever reason,
Speaker 2: him and A minus Smith bump heat, they bumped, they bumped,
Speaker 2: they bumped, they bumped. But Ayton was a better fit
Speaker 2: than Nerd because because he could score, because he can roll.
Speaker 2: Died to the rim Boom had a nice little having
Speaker 2: a nice little jump shot, little job hook from twelve
Speaker 2: from ten to twelve. I think he would fit better
Speaker 2: and he would have been a better option as their
Speaker 2: third option as opposed to be Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 2: that they they they shouldn't let him go. I know
Speaker 2: they they had to that inside outside presence really have
Speaker 2: to be uh study a little bit more with this
Speaker 2: new generation. But they do have three guards guard like
Speaker 2: players that do post up.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 2: Bradley Bill is a great post up player. Bookers are
Speaker 2: very post up, great post up player, and Kevin Durant
Speaker 2: is a great posted player. But they're not posting up anybody. No,
Speaker 2: they don't. That's not that they don't like to. Conley
Speaker 2: would be in the playoffs, he would be on that block.
Speaker 2: He gonna he gonna have to scream for help, right
Speaker 2: in help that that's all you gonna hear the whole game, Rudy,
Speaker 2: where are you at? That's all that. That's what they
Speaker 2: should do. You have to beat up on certain players
Speaker 2: in the players. Right, Like, if I'm playing against Tony
Speaker 2: Parker in the playoffs, I'm not playing pick and roll.
Speaker 2: Let's drop drop, Let's go, let's go take him out
Speaker 2: to who's going on me? Now? I got's going on me?
Speaker 2: Let's play pick and roll because he's not a great
Speaker 2: pick and pick and roll player, right, You have to
Speaker 2: learn how to manipulate the game. And as great as
Speaker 2: these guys are, they're not right. And then you think
Speaker 2: about it, they don't really have size because who's gonna
Speaker 2: guard cat in the post? Then you got nas Reed coming.
Speaker 2: So I mean they really this is a horrible matchup.
Speaker 2: It's really hard. Now could Phoenix win? Could they all
Speaker 2: of a sudden? You know, look, all they did was
Speaker 2: lose two games on the road. They weren't favorite. Might yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that's the ruugh. I mean, the series don't
Speaker 2: start to the road ta to a road team wins.
Speaker 2: That's when this series starts. Okay, everybody for the most
Speaker 2: part is hell served at home with the exception of
Speaker 2: exception of Milwaukee. Mm hmm, that's it. Milwaukee lost, had
Speaker 2: lost on court. Everybody else help serve Boston and Boston
Speaker 2: just just lost home court tonight. But when you I
Speaker 2: mean k D, he might be the same hid as Cat,
Speaker 2: but the side discrepancy Cat gonna put him on the
Speaker 2: block and he can't do anything about it. Nas read,
Speaker 2: it's a big that can shoot, can't do anything about it.
Speaker 2: So now what what do you do? Nothing? You still
Speaker 2: got that you got to put your will on this game.
Speaker 2: And that's the playoffs is everyone that's out matched. It's
Speaker 2: who's playing to their strengths the best right and right
Speaker 2: now Minnesota is well, let me ask you a question,
Speaker 2: what's what's the what's Phoenix strength? Because they damn sure
Speaker 2: he playing to it. Whatever that is, shooting give their strength,
Speaker 2: taking taking days off, they spread right now.
Speaker 3: M
