1
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: You know one thing they don't tell you about having kids,

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: it's how often you have to get up from where

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: you're sitting. It's unbelievable.

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: Good morning, Sweemer. Then, welcome to the Nodungks podcast on

Speaker 3: I'm J. E.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: Skeith here in the Classic Factory and alongside me as always,

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: he's a dad.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: Test and that's the second time I've heard that voice,

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: but it was over a different video, the exact same clip.

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 3: I think of it differently now the internet. It's so so.

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: Conspicuous next to him. It's the bearded one Atafsha hot boy,

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: also a dad, Trey Kirby, Hey Yo. And last but

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: not least making the magic happen, superproducer and super dad.

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: It's JD.

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 3: Hello, there, he.

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Is here, we are I.

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, sucked. He seeked out the original.

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: I saw the same video I think the USA task

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: and I wanted the original.

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: I had to find the original and.

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, because the one I watched it wasn't

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: really applicable. It was just like a pool of some

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: kid sort of being in a pool. But it wasn't

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: You didn't have to get up. He didn't see him

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: get up. That was more appropriate. But anyways, he's right,

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: He's right.

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: Happy, Happy, belated Father's Day to all three of you

31

Speaker 1: Here.

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Let's get into it. Luca Mavericks able to stave off

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: elimination on Friday night, we were live on playback, We

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: did a show right after it. They got the one

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: twenty two to eighty four victory in Game four, third

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: largest blowout in Finals history. Now the series heads back

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: to the TD Garden tonight with Boston one win away

55
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: still from their record setting eighteenth NBA Championship. We don't

56
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: need to spend a whole lot of time on this,

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: but what's something you're watching for here? TK? In Game five?

58
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: Have the MAVs figured something out? Or was this just

59
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: throw that game away? Let's win on our home court

60
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: for Boston. What do you think?

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: No sweep Z, No sweep. So the question for me

62
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: will be if the MAVs can bring it defensively like

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: they did in Game four, And there was really two

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: sort of areas I think that stuck out. Number one,

65
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: it was the best point of attack defense that Dallas

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: has played at all Games one through three, not a

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: lot of it. You saw so many blowbys for the

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Celtics getting in the lay and then either finishing at

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: the rim or getting into their drive and kick game.

70
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: So I thought Luca was much more locked in defensively,

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Kyrie was much more locked in defensively. Josh Green was good,

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior was good. Gafford and Lively when they

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: ended up switched out on the perimeter having to guard

74
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Tatum or something like that, they stayed in front of him.

75
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: That was a really good job. I am more importantly, though,

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: I think is Dallas was able to keep their center

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: near the rim and basically play one man zone with

78
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Lively or Gafford in Game four, sometimes they went double

79
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: big with Kleeba out there as well. Just packing the paint.

80
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: That's what we saw so successful for the MAVs defense

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference playoffs. They did it against the Thunder,

82
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: they did it against the Timberwolves, putting as many in

83
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: the lane as possible and hustling out to close out

84
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: on three point shooters. They were really good. I think

85
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: the MAVs were at forcing Boston to try and take

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: left handed layups. You saw so many attempts from Jalen

87
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Brown Drew Holliday going to their left like you're getting

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: in the lane, but it's going to be a tough shot.

89
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: So great defense from the MAVs. And then the Celtics

90
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: have to kind of make them pay because Dallas was

91
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: helping off Derek White, Jalen Brown, Al Horford, Howser, Pritchard, Tillman,

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: literally everybody as long as they weren't hanging on to

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the ball. So if there was a driving kick to

94
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the lane, they were getting and then sometimes two guys

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: would close out to the three points. Shre not ideal,

96
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: but at least you're hustling out there. Dallas gave it

97
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: all defensively in Game four, only eighty four points for

98
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the Celtics. But this is a team that we know

99
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: can get hot, can shoot the ball really well. They

100
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: haven't shot over forty percent from three yet in the finals,

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: so big game could be coming. We've seen them have

102
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty three point games so many times throughout the playoffs,

103
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: throughout the regular season. It's going to be the push

104
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and pull there of getting open shots and being able

105
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: to create off the bounce. Because Dallas took away two

106
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: really important areas for the Celtics and Game.

107
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: Four, yeah, they were able to hold off the paint,

108
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: that is for sure. You gotta expect the Boston to

109
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: be able to hit some shots at home. That should

110
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: be a different experience for them. Every single offensive possession.

111
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 3: It was just weird watching this Boston Celtics offense. They

112
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: couldn't pass to each other at times, Drew Holliday making

113
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: it fly over to Jallen Brown, Jahn Brown literally not

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: looking at the ball. There were some weird stuff going

115
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: on with Boston. So it's easy to say, yes human nature,

116
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: that Dallas is going to take care of Game four

117
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: at home and look like a different team. But we

118
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: may see a good Boston three point shooting for the

119
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: first time. As you said, they haven't shot forty percent

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: for three very weird considering how good all of them play.

121
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: That being said, the thing that's most interesting to me

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: is Kyrie Irving having a good game in Boston for

123
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: the first time in the series. He hasn't been great

124
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: in Boston. He's averaging fourteen points in Boston in this

125
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 3: series and then came alive when he went back home.

126
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: And this was their guy that has the Finals experience,

127
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: and he just didn't have it in Game one. Even

128
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: after the first quarter. He was able to do a

129
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: first quarter interview, no problem. I thought things were gonna

130
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: go well, And I don't necessarily mean that he's got

131
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: to just get rid of all the skeletons that he's

132
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: got in the closet about Boston and how he left,

133
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: and he said he was going to retire his jersey

134
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: there or retire there and all that. I don't buy

135
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: all that. I just think he needs to be great

136
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: because I question whether or not the role players are

137
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: going to be able to play on the road as

138
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: they did at home. All their guys, ex them Kleeba.

139
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 3: You mentioned they're Josh Green all the way through their starters,

140
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: Derek Joe Junior, PJ Washington, Derek Lively. Again, those guys

141
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: were awesome in Game four. They really truly were. Take

142
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: that on the road. The guy that has to be

143
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: awesome is Kyrie. Irvik and h and Luca gotta go

144
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: hand in hand and have really good games in this

145
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: one because the Celtics are not going to score eighty

146
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 3: four points again, right, But they also haven't been ridiculously

147
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: great in this series, so he may see bombs away

148
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: because they've only averaged one six in their three games

149
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: prior to that one, So we may just see a

150
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: great Celtics. Chris Steps, are you gonna play? I think

151
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: that's a fair question as well.

152
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: Because he has lost ability. Obviously he's available. I mean

153
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: he was a breaking case of emergency is what we

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: learned in game four. I think that's sort of the

155
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: status moving ahead to Game five. TK you said on

156
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: Friday night though you don't even think he's gonna play

157
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: at all in this series. It's maybe some mind games from

158
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: the Celtics, but they could use them. They could have

159
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: used him in game four because you guys are.

160
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: Right and need address. So that's a good SI. Absolutely,

161
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: he did have his warm ups on. It seemed like

162
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: he could play because I have to play a lot obviously,

163
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: but it would help the non Xavier Tillman minutes to

164
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: go to him. You know, it doesn't have to be

165
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: a lot of ten to fifteen.

166
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, to back up, like with some stats, what you're

167
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: talking about, the match just doing a much better job

168
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: of protecting the rim. Boston only had eighteen point paints

169
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: in the first three quarters of Game four, nine to

170
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: twenty three shooting, and a lot of the turnovers were

171
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: also coming because they were getting into the paint active

172
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: hands and like you said, some boneheaded decisions. That was

173
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: maybe Drew Holiday's worst game we've ever seen him play

174
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: in terms of protecting the ball and being like a

175
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: steady hand. Missoula credited the Mavericks aggressive defense for just

176
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: forcing Boston into an area of indecisiveness and just poor

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: shot selection and the turnovers. They'll be better with the ball,

178
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: but the MAVs, you feel like they found maybe something,

179
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: especially when no porzingis if he continues not to play, Hey,

180
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: go to Lively quickly. If you don't start him, he's

181
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: coming in two and a half minutes into the game,

182
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: probably again like he did in game four. Awesome work

183
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: on the glass, just his activity and then yeah, kids

184
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: like we're going with the defensive guys, the hustle guys,

185
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: Josh Green, we saw obviously Kleiba for defensive reasons does

186
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: another big exhum as well. His activity. That's got to

187
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: be the game plan they do again. But I'm with

188
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: you. You need, obviously Luca to keep his head, keep us cool,

189
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: not get into it with the officials. And Kyrie has

190
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: to have a good road game here for this to

191
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: be extended and go back to Dallas. He can't shoot

192
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: thirty five percent like he did in games one and

193
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: two in Boston. He has to do what he did

194
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: in Game three and four, which was a little bit

195
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: better in terms of scoring the ball way for sure,

196
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: he's gotta be huge. Over the last five quarters of basketball,

197
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 2: it's weird. Dallas has outscored the Celtics one fifty one

198
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: to one oh five. Of course they're still down three

199
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: to one, so it doesn't matter and we start zero

200
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: zero tonight, but uh, can't wait. It's weird for despite

201
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: it being a three to one series and obviously having

202
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: a three to zer lead and no team ever coming back.

203
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: Maybe because of that Game four, excuse me, game three ending,

204
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: and then the dominant victory in Game four and the

205
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: no Porzingis factor at least we haven't seen him, it

206
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: feels closer than still a three to one dominant lead,

207
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: which it is. They only need one. Did they take

208
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: their foot off the gas and you know, oh crap

209
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: not our night shots aren't falling. Don't worry. We've got

210
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: three more chances and we feel confident will bounce back

211
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 2: in game five. I think it's that you think it

212
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: so yeah.

213
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there was definitely a blowout in Game four.

214
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: The defense has been better for Dallas in games three

215
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: and Game four, literally with Porzingis out there saying yeah, Corford.

216
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: If you beat us from three, it happens, but we're

217
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: gonna help off you and play the defense we like

218
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: to play. Clogging the paint and trying to take away

219
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: something and then hoping that our challenges are better. The

220
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: key for the Celtics. In Game three, the ball went

221
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: side to side so fast. That's how Drew Holliday got

222
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: all those wide open layups. There was no rim defender

223
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: there to help, and if it was it was Luca,

224
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: it was PJ. Washington, it wasn't Gafford or Lively. So

225
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: missing Porzingis has been big. So I think the Celtics

226
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: are just going to have to take some shots they

227
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: don't want to take. Like there are times you see

228
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: Tillman passing up a wide open three expected Horford can't

229
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: pass him up. Derek White can't pass him up. If

230
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: you got a hand in your face, just shoot it.

231
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: You're at home, Maybe it goes in. Drew Holliday has

232
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: to be better. We saw him pass up multiple layups. Yeah,

233
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: in Game four that was just weird. So quicker decisions

234
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: and the ball has to move side to side. You're

235
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: not just going to try and attack one on one every.

236
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like outside of Tatum's first quarter in

237
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 2: Game four, that no one really played all that well

238
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: for Boston when you like Jaylen Brown garbage game, Drew Holiday,

239
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: like we said, making confusing decisions. You know, Horford wasn't good.

240
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: Nobody was really good outside of a brief little stretch

241
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: there for Tatum. I thought, so, you know, how many

242
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: of those guys are going to get bounced back to

243
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: what we've seen all regular seasons and all playoffs long?

244
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: I handful of them probably.

245
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: What about the Sam Houser, He was hot, literally he

246
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: was their second leading scorer. It was a strange game.

247
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: Tatum was the guy at first, and then Jalen Brown

248
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: was not himself. No, he Drew Holiday literally passed up layups.

249
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: That's weird. You literally have the bucket in front of

250
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: you just score. So yes, strangeness from them. Can you

251
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: just say that blowouts happened in finals history, in playoffs history, Yeah,

252
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: for sure, even with champions. Two years ago, the Golden

253
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: State Warriors were up on the Memphis Grizzlies. They lost

254
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: by almost almost forty points to the Memphis Grizzlies in

255
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: Game five, and then they won Game six and the

256
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: series was over. They were down fifty in that game.

257
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: And I brought up twenty seventeen the finals when Cleveland

258
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: was up three or excuse me, Golden State was up

259
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: three zero on Cleveland. Cleveland came out bananas with a

260
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: forty nine point first quarter, threes from everywhere, and they

261
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: lost that game. And then they went and then gold

262
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: say one game five, it's over. So I thought, it

263
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: really does happen.

264
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: A lot a lot of people bringing up the bull

265
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: Sonics final series. There was, you know, the Bulls up

266
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: three to zero and then the Sonics blow them out

267
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: in game four, and it's like, ooh, they've got life.

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: They figure things out and the Bulls go on to win.

269
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: So it does happen.

270
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: You're right, it does happen. Maybe the thing I want

271
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: to see from Dallas's role players, because it was great

272
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: to see x him out there and Josh Green splashing

273
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: and Derek Jones splashing. Finally, that was awesome. But Tim

274
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: Hardaway could be a guy, could be a guy to

275
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: light the match that when all those other guys don't perform,

276
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: because there is a chance that those guys other guys

277
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: don't perform. I know it was garbage time in this game.

278
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: It doesn't really matter. It was great for Tim Hardaway

279
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 3: Senior to be there front row to see his son cool,

280
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: but will you come out and do it in game

281
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: five when it's important, when those other guys aren't performing,

282
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: and really you just need some guy to do a

283
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: heat check. That guy is comfortable doing a heat check.

284
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: So that's that's one thing.

285
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: If kid plays Tim Hardaway Junior tonight and maybe even

286
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: an if, because he might lean into the defensive guys

287
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: that we did see right like we were talking about.

288
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: But if he does, he has to just have a quick,

289
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: you know, pull on him if he does misses his

290
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: first of two shots, like he can't play out there

291
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: for a while. I mean that Tim Hardaway Junior is

292
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: there just hit threes. If he hits them, then maybe

293
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: you're running with him. Yeah, and he's quieting the Celtics crowd.

294
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: But if he's there again, I'm not even convinced we'll

295
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: see him unless it's another garbage time situation, because I

296
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: think the MAVs have figured out like we gotta go

297
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: with our defensive guys there and then, and then that

298
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 2: means Luca and Kyrie really have to carry us offensively

299
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: along with the guys maybe hitting open shots when they

300
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, run bodies out them and help on them.

301
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: He didn't play until the fourth quarter, but he's also

302
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: one of only three players ever to hit five three

303
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: pointers in a quarters.

304
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: Curry, ray Allen and him.

305
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah that's awesome.

306
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Who said he looked like Curry and Rayale? It

307
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: wasn't because of that. I think it was one of

308
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: the coaches that he looked like. I think Jason Kidd

309
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: said he looked like history.

310
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: Exactly what he looked like. Okay, So with all that said,

311
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: you want to make a prediction. I know, I guess

312
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: I asked you on Friday night. Has your mind changed

313
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: that you do think the Celtics ultimately will close us

314
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: out in a gentleman's sweep here tonight in Boston? I? Yes, yeah.

315
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: I also picked him in Game four, though, do you, okay, do.

316
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: You think you know a close game down to the

317
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: wire or one of these games where the Celtics maybe

318
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: hit a ton of Thirkiess.

319
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: I want it to be a close game, so I'm

320
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: picking a close okay, Okay.

321
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: I do expect Carrier Irving to have a good game

322
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: in Boston in this series because it would kind of

323
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: stink for him to go down in the finals and

324
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: not have a good game on this floor. And I'm

325
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: not sure if his history is in his mind about

326
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: how it all went in Boston. That being said, maybe

327
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: it is. But I do expect Kyrierving to play much

328
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: like he did in Game three or Game four. So

329
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: if he does that, Luca has been along for the

330
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: ride for the most part in this series, other than

331
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: the defensive.

332
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: End, which he was much better at in Game four.

333
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I expect those two sies.

334
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah he was. He was getting cutting off drives. Was

335
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: to see from Luca Docch. But can you do the

336
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: two games in a row now, TVD. I do expect

337
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: Cary to be better and Luca is gonna score no

338
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: matter what. So that's a good sign.

339
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: I guess.

340
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: Let's hear from everybody out there. Make your call. I'm

341
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: praying that this is just gives us more basketball. But

342
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like it, Like we just went over

343
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: so many instances where it's like, well, there's a big

344
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: blowout from a team trailing quite a bit in a series,

345
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: and you want to convince yourself they've unlocked something and

346
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: maybe there's something to it. And I just gave you

347
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: the the last five quarters is all dal It. But

348
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: it's like, I don't know. The Celtics team is just

349
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: too I just trust these guys too much. I trust

350
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: another you know, Jaylen Brown to bounce back Drew Holiday,

351
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: of course, why not. Why couldn't Horford have the night

352
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: where he hits his five or six threes And you're like, okay,

353
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: well what are we gonna do if he hits those

354
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: and we're toast? So you know, my my heart says,

355
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: go Dallas because all we want more basketball, but my

356
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: mind says this is over tonight. I think we're talking

357
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: about the eighteenth banner on tomorrow show.

358
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm for sure. Yeah, celics two and l after a

359
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: loss in the post, not a lot. He's got a

360
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: big sample sign. They won by twenty and thirteen in

361
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: those two games.

362
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's fair to say that they're going

363
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: to bounce back after a poor performance, And especially with

364
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: Joe Mizula, he's doing a good job of likning to

365
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: an MMA fight. You if you keep your eyes off

366
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: it for a second. Okay, you may have a bad moment,

367
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: you get choked out, but are you going to be back,

368
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: and he said, get back to having fun and being

369
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: a team and how special we are in the team

370
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: that got us here. I mean, that's simple. And he

371
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: was asked, if you win, you may be compared to

372
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: some of the best coaches. Ever, he didn't take that bait.

373
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: He said, it ain't gonna happen unless we play defense,

374
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: we rebound, and we scrap. That was his answer. He's ready,

375
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: He's ready, this team is going to be ready.

376
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: Well not the counter for almost every coaching player. It

377
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: feels like nowadays is when you have a bad game

378
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: where you're not going well, I just got to get

379
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: back to having fun.

380
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: That's right, He's gotta play loose man. Yeah, it's not

381
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: that big a deal.

382
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: It's like, always just have fun. We heard Luke already

383
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: say this a couple times throughout the postseason. Yeah, and

384
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: now we got Joe saying about the Celtics. Who has

385
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: more fun to night? That's the real question. Who's the

386
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: silliest boy out there?

387
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: Who's the silliest boy on a Monday night, one of

388
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: the hardest nights to be silly.

389
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: That's very true. To start week ahead of you starting

390
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: the weekend, maybe a little tired from the weekend had

391
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: probably too much. We'll see, We'll see you got it.

392
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: Let's let's hear your predictions though there in the comments. Okay,

393
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: let's get into some Is this news? Yeah? I got

394
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: some headlines for the boys and for everyone joining us

395
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: live and listening later here on the podcast. Let me

396
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: chuck them out. You first one from The Athletic, a

397
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: fine website. Charles Barkley says he'll retire from TV after

398
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: next year, no matter what happens with TNT. This was

399
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: quite the story over the weekend, with Charles Barkley and

400
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: I Guess on NBA TV on Friday on NBA Television saying, look,

401
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be done.

402
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna take my job, Steve or Jamal Crawford or

403
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: Vince Carter or you Steve pointing to Steve Smith.

404
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so is this news? And I guess, really

405
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: the way I'm looking at it, do you buy this

406
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 2: from Sir Charles Barkley that, in fact, no matter what

407
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: happens with the media rights deal and whether TNT has

408
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: it or not, that Charles Barkley is done after next season.

409
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I totally buy it. Yeah, I

410
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't say, one hundred percent buy it, but uh, you know,

411
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm assuming this was Chuck's last game for this finals.

412
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, they usually do two and two and then

413
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: if it goes past that, we're figuring things out. About

414
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: a month ago, he said he was going to buy

415
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: off the show and run it under his production company.

416
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: Adam Silver said, We're never gonna lose Charles and Kenny.

417
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: They're always going to be covering the NBA. I can't

418
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: imagine those guys won't be performing and announcing together in

419
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: the future. And we all love them, yes, we certainly do.

420
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: But obviously Barkley seems upset with the way things are

421
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: going with negotiations, and he's at least giving the signals

422
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: that it is going to go down. It's kind of

423
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: odd that we've had this done deal for feels like

424
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: a month at this point, but without any actual announcements. Yeah,

425
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: lawsuits whatever, it may be going forward, So I don't

426
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: think it's completely a done deal, but who knows. We

427
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: got next season for sure, I'll watch. He can retire

428
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: anytime he wants to. The guy's sixty one years old,

429
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean, he'll retire eventually. But Barkley's always

430
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: say it, I'll retire. Yeah, he has said I'm gonna

431
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: leave a lot of times.

432
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. In fact, Timothy Bella, who literally wrote the book

433
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 2: on Barkley, he has a book called Barkley. He tweeted

434
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: at me over the weekend. Barkley talked about retiring as

435
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: a player after the ninety four season. He talked about

436
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 2: retirement for another six years, and that's before he promised

437
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: to retire from broadcasting by age sixty. Remember that that

438
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: was think Chun said, Well, he blew by that. I

439
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: do think he's serious this time. But I'll totally believe

440
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: it when I see it. That's where I'm at with

441
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: this task. I'll believe it when i'm seeing it. For

442
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: a guy in Charles Barkley who loves repeat himself whatever

443
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: his point is, he does change his mind a lot

444
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: from week to week, it feels like on things like this.

445
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I mean, he's going to talk

446
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: about basketball regardless whether he's retired or not. Why not

447
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: get paid for it. That's how he's probably gonna end

448
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: up looking at it. Why not get paid handsomely for it?

449
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: So I don't think I hope, Maybe I hope I'm

450
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: hoping he's not gonna retire it as well, but I

451
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: don't think he will.

452
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he's using this to negotiate his next deals

453
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 3: because whoever it is, whether it's potentially ESPN or whoever.

454
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: Maybe he wants this just to say, Okay, you know,

455
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: I'll work the playoffs every day, but give me the

456
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: regular season.

457
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm a sixteen game player.

458
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. I'd be smart. Or maybe he

459
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: just wants an annual tribute for him every single game

460
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: or a week he works on TNT. Next week or

461
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: next season, I should say, well, I'll just talk about

462
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 3: him every single week.

463
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: You know.

464
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: Maybe it's like a player announce his retirement before his

465
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 3: final season. Or yeah, maybe it's just negotiating a deal

466
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: for TNT to get in with the NBA, because that

467
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: is not complete quite yet. I mean, that is far

468
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: fetched that TNT would get a deal with the NBA

469
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: because Charles Barkley is saying something. But maybe he is

470
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: trying to push a few buttons. But I definitely think

471
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: this was his last game of the season, and just

472
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: like all of us, you talk about basketball for eight

473
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: months every single day, Charles doesn't. He's got a good deal.

474
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: But maybe he's just tired and he's done right for

475
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: the summer, and he may may change his mind, but

476
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: he has you know, air quotes retired before from TV.

477
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: He literally said, yeah, I'm done. Yeah, that didn't happen.

478
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 3: So I don't know. It's up to Charles really what

479
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: his future holds, that's for sure.

480
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: TNT Sports has signed him up for like another eight

481
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: years still and like a huge deal, whether they have

482
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: the NBA or not. And I know he has it

483
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: in his contract, like if they don't have the NBA,

484
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: he can obviously like rip that contract up. I get that,

485
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: but they probably still would want him for madness, which

486
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: they have and he does. You know, he seems to

487
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: be a big hockey guy. Keeps showing up on hockey broadcasting.

488
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: He does T and T does have hockey rights.

489
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: I mean they were they just saw he just saw

490
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: Wayne Gretzky again and he said how much he loves

491
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 3: Wayne Green. He watched him as a kid, which is

492
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: kind of strange when you think about it. Growing up

493
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: in Alabama, Leads Alabama, turns on the TV. There's Wayne Gretzky,

494
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Old Dwayne Gretzky.

495
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: They're like the same age.

496
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, about the same age.

497
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I'll watch him as a kid.

498
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: Is sixteen years old. He's two years old.

499
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: Wayne started playing when he was really young. So maybe

500
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: Charles was a teenager saying.

501
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: That old college Maybe yeah, okay, what's the Oilers Dynasty?

502
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

503
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Hey, Paul Coffee, great to meet you. Used to watch

504
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: you all the time. Kid, That is funny. Maybe you'll

505
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: get on burn Notice or Animal Kingdom put him on

506
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: all their shows. They have that show of Gail for

507
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: five minutes? Did it never started a dialogue? Did we No?

508
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: Though, no dialogue.

509
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: We appreciate the memes.

510
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: So all right, well again.

511
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: Let's hear do you think Barkley, you know, is actually retiring.

512
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: Here's my other favorite part of all this, this whole

513
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: thing the media write steal. Do you know how many people,

514
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: especially casual fans. Do you know how many people think

515
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: that TNT is done right now, like it's done and

516
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: don't realize there's still one more season, like oh they

517
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: are coming back for one more year. So many people

518
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: at least, but I am telling you, so many people

519
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: think the show is over and are livid and you know,

520
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: you know, right in the obituary of the show, and

521
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, hold on, it might be eventually, but

522
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 2: there is one more season. They're under contract, one more year,

523
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: one more year, maybe maybe more.

524
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say TNT is done, Like

525
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: they don't have any shows on. It just turns off

526
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: for the season. Well, the conference finals are over. We'll

527
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: see you next year with bones reruns.

528
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right. All right, let's go to

529
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: our next headline here, it's from real GM. That's where

530
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: we'll give you credit to Raptors expected to seek trade

531
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: for Bruce Brown. Test is this news?

532
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: Well, it means the Raptors aren't championship contenders next year.

533
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: So sad, it does make sense to move on from

534
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown because the Raptors, unfortunately, I think it's clear

535
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: are not championship contenders next season. That who Bruce Brown

536
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: really improves that type of team, a good team, a

537
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 3: very good team. He's a very good player and he

538
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: needs to have that role with great players around him.

539
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: So it sure makes sense for the team to exercise

540
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: that option. Because they have an option on Bruce Brown

541
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: for next season at twenty plus million dollars, it would

542
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: make sense for the Raptors to look elsewhere to not

543
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: bring Bruce Brown back. It wasn't a very good several

544
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: months here with Bruce Brown happening.

545
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: Can you remember a single Bruce Brown moment playing for

546
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: the Raptors.

547
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: Sure he had good, good shots, Come on, yeah, good shots.

548
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 3: He made nice one nice cut.

549
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: I saw that he had one nice game and is

550
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: more like it. He didn't do nothing. I'm not knocking him.

551
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: He's on a crap team, leading into the tank and

552
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: all that, and injury left and right, and he said

553
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: after the season that he may have had like a

554
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: bum knee and all that. But like I'm serious, he

555
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: played thirty four games. I can't remember a single Bruce

556
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Brown moment. He had one game where he hit three threes.

557
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: That's maybe the one that that was a good shot.

558
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 3: Was that the first game that he showed up basically

559
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 3: off a flight where he had like five hours to

560
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 3: show you.

561
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 2: No, he did play good in his first game against

562
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: the Bulls. I think he had a good first game.

563
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it just showed up one more other one.

564
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: Didn't know the game plan. No, that's when he plays

565
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: best when he doesn't know the playbook. Just go, my friend.

566
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: That was the issue with the Raptors, his role was

567
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 3: too big, and so this this makes sense.

568
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Doug Smith of the Toronto Star, who's obviously plugged

569
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: in with the team, said the idea is, like you said,

570
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: pick up his team option twenty three million. They have

571
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: until June twenty ninth to exercise that, by the way,

572
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: so you know you're starting to come up to that deadline.

573
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: Then flip him to another franchise. While and this is

574
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: the important part here maybe why it's newsworthy while attempting

575
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: to resign Gary Trent Junior, Duck Smith is basically saying

576
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: they're not keeping both these guys. They don't want to

577
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: keep both these guys. The idea of you flip Bruce Brown,

578
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: you maybe get something in return for him, probably you're right,

579
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: probably to a good team that could see him as like,

580
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: oh yeah, look what he did for Denver, why can't

581
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: he do that for us, Get some assets back, be

582
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 2: it players or picks, and then yeah, potentially resign Gary

583
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: Trent Junior as more of your You know, he's younger,

584
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: he's a little bit younger, he's a better shooter, does

585
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: things differently than Bruce Brown. And you can argue whether

586
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: he's more of an impactful player for winning a Gary

587
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 2: Trent junior than Bruce Bran I don't know, but anyway,

588
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: that's what the direction looks like. So really it's gonna

589
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: be who wants Bruce Brown and what can you get

590
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 2: for him?

591
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's kind of the problem because you either

592
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: have to have cap space to take him in or

593
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: a giant trade exception, and it's basically only the Hawks

594
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: have the trade exception. Then you look at the teams

595
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: that are interested at him and a competitive team because like,

596
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: tell me a good moment that Bruce Brown had for Indiana.

597
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: He had six threes in game one I saw just

598
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: looking at his game log, but I don't really remember

599
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: him doing much. I thought it was gonna be a

600
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: perfect fit with how much he loves pretending to be

601
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: a cowboy and all the fields there in Indiana, but

602
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't. But like Philadelphia, Orlando, in Oklahoma City, they

603
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: got cap space, they could maybe do a trade if

604
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: the Raptors want a Josh gideyback or something like that.

605
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: Everybody else has to trade players. So then you look

606
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: at the Lakers, Denver, Milwaukee, Miami, Golden State, places where

607
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: he would help. They're gonna have to send a player back.

608
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: So the Raptors are looking to get in like Ruy

609
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: Delo Wiggins, Chris Paul Portois, Duncan Robinson, and then maybe

610
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: like a late first in the twenty twenty four draft,

611
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: which they already got two twenty twenty four picks from

612
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: the trade that brought them Bruce Brown. So there's probably

613
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: somebody out there they might be able to get a

614
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: first round pick. But I'm not anticipating Bruce Brown bringing

615
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: a whole bunch back. But this is a headline from

616
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: real TK. I thought they were in a trading last deadline.

617
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: There was no point really for Bruce Brown to play

618
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: on the Raptors last year.

619
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 2: I think by all accounts they almost I did try

620
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: to sort of like trade them and you know, didn't

621
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: get something that they wanted. So they'll do it again.

622
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: In a sense from a handful of league sources is

623
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: that the Raptors they want to do this rather quickly,

624
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: then have him on the start of the roster and

625
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: do it at the twenty twenty five trade. Then this should,

626
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: in theory happen here once they exercise his team option.

627
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 2: I would think somewhat soon sometime in the summer.

628
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think a lot of those teams that

629
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: Trey mentioned are trying to go get something in free agency,

630
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: and then when they don't, I think that'll be the

631
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: key moment that they say, Okay, Brice Brown will be fine.

632
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: And Bruce Brown obviously championship with Denver, but also two

633
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: good years with Brooklyn before that, he was damn good.

634
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, this year was an odd one.

635
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: He seems to be his best in contract years, so

636
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: that's good.

637
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. He turns twenty eight on August fifteenth.

638
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: Oh, that's my birthday. That it's the most most famous birthday.

639
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: Also on August fifteenth, Bruce Brown really well, probably not.

640
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 3: I'm not a huge birth day guy. Nah for you

641
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 3: at least no, I would say, just who is the best?

642
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: Who name?

643
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: Name somebody someone more notable born on August fifteenth than

644
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown.

645
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, there.

646
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: You go.

647
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben Affleck wins, Ben Affleck wins over Messing.

648
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: I knew that.

649
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: Jennifer, Jennifer Lawrence.

650
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: Dude, you have a killer day.

651
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, good ones, Thanks thanks a lot. I appreciate that.

652
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: Joe Jonas not really my thing, but you know.

653
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: These a more popular than Bruce Brown, All right, let's

654
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: go to our next one here. I've been waiting to

655
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 2: get into this headline, Anthony, and this is why we

656
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: have Is this news? Yeah? Who sports? Clay Thompson unfollows

657
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: Warriors on social media as free agency approaches, Trey Kirby,

658
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: Is this news?

659
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Yes?

660
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: Really?

661
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: Okay?

662
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: Make the case? What is this new?

663
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: This is new? This is because Klay Thompson wants it

664
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: to be news. How about that, Skeets, This could easily

665
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: be a leverage play. I'm not liking any of your posts,

666
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: so you signed me to a bigger deal. Apparently Clay

667
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: turned down a two year, forty eight million dollar extension

668
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: I guess before last season, So maybe he's looking for

669
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: more years on his deal. Three for seventy five four

670
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: for one hundred gets expensive on the back end when

671
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson is thirty eight years old, because he'll be

672
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: thirty four at the start of next season. But it

673
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: feels like Clay's going to have a choice to make here.

674
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: Does he want to stay with the only franchise he's

675
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: ever played for where he's going to have a statue someday,

676
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: or does he want to be like a million legends

677
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: who played for another team at the end of his

678
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: career and make one last big deal. I think it's

679
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: definitely possible, and I think that sort of thing is

680
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: going to happen a lot more often with the new

681
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: CBA coming in, because the second aprin is going to

682
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: make these like late prime deals very very costly for

683
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: teams where their players have stuck around for a long

684
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: long time. So it could go Dwayne Wade mode. Dwayne

685
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Wade played for the Bulls and Caps before coming back

686
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: to the That's weird. Tony Parker was a Hornet at

687
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: one point, and people tell me Michael Jordan played for

688
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: the Wizards, but that's a little bit of a different

689
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: scenario because he did have a little bit of ownership there. Nonetheless,

690
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: I think Clay's trying to send a message here and

691
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: he's trying to get the best deal he possibly can

692
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: out of the Warriors. I was trying to think back,

693
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: has anybody ever unfollowed everybody on Instagram and then re

694
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: signed with the team, only to hear Timmy good Times

695
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Bontemps talking about Andrea Iguidala doing the very same thing

696
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: with the Warriors on following him meeting with all these

697
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: teams and then going back to the Warriors because he

698
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: was a legend there. So Clay probably somehow ends up

699
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: a Warrior, but it wouldn't be shocking if he's on

700
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: any other team.

701
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: So that was Andrea Gaudella right at the end.

702
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: Was that I don't remember because he didn't drop a

703
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: year on me.

704
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: Because that would be cheap money.

705
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's he didn't go to Memphis though eventually.

706
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made that trade. Yeah, right, well, I bring

707
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 3: up the cheap money as you're checking the stats there

708
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: on the iggy when was that? And it does it

709
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 3: doesn't matter.

710
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: Multi year contract twenty seventeen. Oh so there was somebody

711
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: there fourteen sixteen seventeen.

712
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Klay Thompson wants more than fourteen sixteen

713
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: and seventeen. That is key. It's a different time now,

714
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: there's lots more money for these teams, and so unfollowing

715
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: is it news? It's news now because I don't know

716
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: what news is anymore. Does a person unfollowing on Instagram

717
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: and also deleting every single one of his Warriors posts

718
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: for the last two years.

719
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: Almost all of them. There was like one where he's

720
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: in a Warriors Jersey and it's a TISO. Yeah, though

721
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: it's probably contractually can't take it down.

722
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: There's a watch, Yeah, there's a watch. There's a lot, right.

723
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: He virtually like scrubbed all of the folks scrubbed.

724
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did scrub. He is still still following the

725
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: G League Warriors team Santa Cruz Warriors. Maybe he'll play there.

726
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: I really don't think this is necessarily him leaving, but

727
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: he is definitely contemplating it. I think if you if

728
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: you look at what they did by trading Jordan Poole

729
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: for Chris Paul, Chris Paul's money is no guaranteed next season.

730
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: They can find a decent number for Klay Thompson, even

731
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: though he turned down two for forty eight last season.

732
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 3: So I don't think this is him leaving. That being said,

733
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: because they have Draymond Green under contract, what they just

734
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: did Andrew Wiggins under that monstrous contract, there is some

735
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: problems from a front office that looks forward, they don't

736
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: necessarily look back. Obviously, four championships, a Hall of Fame guy,

737
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: you'd want to bring him back. I think everybody wants

738
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: to bring him back. The front office, the coach, the teammates,

739
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: but I do think Klay Thompson wants to be challenged here.

740
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: He wants to have a bigger role, and that ain't

741
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 3: coming with the Warriors. It could come with the Orlando Magic.

742
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: And I do think, yeah, Joe Acub he is a

743
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: guy who looks forward, and do they want to bring

744
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: back the exact same team? Essentially, that's what it would be.

745
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm not convinced that he is coming back.

746
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: But I also I am not convinced that Draymond Green

747
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: will be there next year. I think that is part

748
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 3: of negotiations this next month, that they'll be taught in

749
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: trading Draymond Green. So TBD. But Clay Orlando, I know

750
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: that's the hot one, but it makes a lot of sense.

751
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: Apparently he followed polloup on Caro.

752
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: People really do deep diyes on this stuff.

753
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: Whose job I always wonder? I think Clay is like, Okay,

754
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: he can easily unfollow the Warriors. That would take five seconds. Yeah,

755
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: go to the profile. I'm done.

756
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: But deleting all the chase work, Yeah, that's got to.

757
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: Be somebody's job. Yeah, get all those Warriors photos out

758
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: of here. I don't want to remember them, even though

759
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: they're classic moments.

760
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 3: It feels like more of a Clay thing to want

761
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: to be moving on because I don't think Clay spends

762
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: a lot of time on Instagram. I think he got

763
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: some help or he did himself.

764
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: He delegated this.

765
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably probably.

766
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: I mean maybe he's just out on the boat fishing, biting.

767
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: Just get to scroll and get rid of that one,

768
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: that one.

769
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay.

770
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: As for the actual unfollowing them and doing the photos

771
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: thing and taking them off his feed? Yeah? Is he

772
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: just frustrated because of what they're offering. Is it a

773
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: passive a rest have sort of move here to like

774
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: drum up support from the fan base, like you guys

775
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,479
Speaker 2: are saying, Is it absolutely nothing? I guess it could

776
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: be that Draymond Green called it fucking hilarious and comical.

777
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: That's really all he said. Wasn't much else he said

778
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: on his podcast Sense of Humor.

779
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the only other note to go back to

780
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: a Warrior's owner Joe Lacup. He is on record saying

781
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: that the team's preferred path this offseason is to avoid

782
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: the tax entirely if possible. You know so, I mean,

783
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: if they're really trying to do that, you're not gonna

784
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: want to give Klay Thompson the four years one hundred million.

785
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: Sure, but there are ways to get out of that

786
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: too if they can. I don't think Draymond. I don't

787
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: think there will be any interest in Draymond from other places,

788
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: but I suppose he could be in play as well.

789
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: But I assume Steph and Draymond will be back and

790
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: that's pretty much all locked in.

791
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 3: M Yeah, and Chris Paul is not guaranteed for next season,

792
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: so they could just say bye bye. That's thirty million,

793
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: all right.

794
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,320

00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,560

834
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 3: you wanted to get to Mexico City.

835
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: I do want to go, of course. Yeah, this will

836
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: be the time to go. It's over the Day of

837
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: the Dead festivities. I like that they've like sort of

838
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: linked it up along the same time, there's going to

839
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 2: be a specially themed basketball.

840
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: Court, Sugar Skulls.

841
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: I would hope, so you would think so. So that's

842
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: sort of cool.

843
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's cool for Ima. Hawk has to be playing

844
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 3: in Mexican American to be there, to have his backing there. Yeah,

845
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 3: and it'll be a good game, I assume.

846
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: I think that what you got high hopes for the

847
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: Wizards here.

848
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, maybe they're playing I don't think. I don't

849
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 3: like them at home quite often. True, they don't play

850
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 3: good home games.

851
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: Yes, they're gonna have a better turnout of that that's

852
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: a neutral game. Uh yeah, site Wizards are a problem.

853
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a problem. I think

854
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 3: they're going to have a fun game. Jordan Pool's going

855
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: to be good.

856
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Hey Man tasks onto something. Wizards were seven and thirty

857
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: four at home last year, eight and thirty three on

858
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: the road. This is good. And it's November November second,

859
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: like it's early. That's the best time to see a

860
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: bad team. It's four they've figured out they're actually bad.

861
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: They could get a win.

862
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 3: Here November second. Wow, they really bumped that up because

863
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: it was far later. Was it did to get the

864
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: jan It was December last year?

865
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: Was it?

866
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

867
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 2: Nomber?

868
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 3: But I guess it's when everybody is watching basketball games

869
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: because that's where the tournament is scheduled for November. Let's

870
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: let's bump it up here. I'm taking the Wizard.

871
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: I love that.

872
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 3: Love that.

873
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 2: Put some money on. I don't think the heat.

874
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

875
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: This will be the league's thirty third game in Mexico

876
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety two. And we we were talking recently

877
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: because Commissioner Silver was talking about expansion, and we like

878
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: we were saying, man, this guy, he really wants a

879
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: team in Mexico.

880
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: Citty like there.

881
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: You know, there's always talk about Seattle, of course in Vegas,

882
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: but man, he's always bringing up the consideration for league

883
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: expansion to Mexico City. So of course they're going to

884
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 2: keep going there and seeing how it goes and fans

885
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 2: support and all that stuff. But any thoughts on this

886
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: TKA is this newsworthy adult team?

887
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: Well, I was honestly most excited about the Dean Dalas

888
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: Mortals part of it.

889
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: That's awesome's a look cool?

890
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

891
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: Man, who knows what kind of themed basketball court they're

892
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: going to have and what other initiatives will be around there.

893
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: But it was always a big day in our Spanish class,

894
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: Da Dalas Mortals making all those delicious sugars cults. Oh man, yeah,

895
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: so cool, very just cool, just cool.

896
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. And maybe I think Disney did make Cocoa the

897
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: great movie Dans movie there there can be some connection there.

898
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: Let's make an animated film.

899
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, esp and Disney crossover.

900
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 3: It was a good movie.

901
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: Coco two. I'm sure it's in the works. Everything gets

902
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: a sequel sting in theaters.

903
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: Now, which player do you think is most likely to

904
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: walk away from this game with the nickname un poco loco? Jeez,

905
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: isn't that the name of the song in Coca? I

906
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: think they sing that song would be Terry Rosier, Oh,

907
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: Terry Rosier on da de las moritos, scary Terry himself.

908
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: That's good, it's not bad. No, please play and get.

909
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: Your votes in down. We got five months.

910
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: It's right around the Corner's right around the corner. Actually

911
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 2: before that November game, we do have the Olympics, and

912
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: this is the final headline ESPN sixers dwell Embiid recovering

913
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: well on target for the Olympics. He said this, you

914
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: know pregame of game four. Is that pregame where he

915
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: jumped on. Yeah, it was pre game where they had

916
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: six people on the desk. We talked about it on

917
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: Friday night, but Bed was asked about his health and

918
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: the idea and he's like, yeah, good.

919
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 3: To be go.

920
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: Looks like he's going to play in the Olympics. Is

921
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: this news at all?

922
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, yeah, they have a deep roll of centers.

923
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 3: If they need more, they have enough.

924
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: Well the roster right now Embiid, bam Adebayo, Anthony Davis

925
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 2: as your centers.

926
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 3: Not bad facing the world in the Olympics. He obviously

927
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: was a bit of a controversy where he didn't play

928
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: for his European team, but now he's playing for America

929
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 3: in his first tournament here. So yes, I do think

930
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 3: it's somewhat of news. I did find what was bigger

931
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 3: news was that our man Tim Bonteps was the guy

932
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: who got Joel Embiid on the desk. Yeah, yeah, great, call.

933
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 2: We were sort of right, Remember we were talking about

934
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't think ESPN like reached out before

935
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: the games to get Joel and bid. It felt like

936
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: joelan b was walking around and they like, he's at

937
00:41:59,120 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: the finals.

938
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: They would have set up they would have set up

939
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: the chairs way better because he was literally he was

940
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 3: literally elbow to elbow with Paul George. He literally called

941
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 3: a foul and Georgians.

942
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, anyway.

943
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: I just don't I mean, I included this, but I'm

944
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: not sure this is really all that newsworthy because the

945
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 2: idea is like, Okay, his health the question around his health,

946
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: which unfortunately with EMBIID is always the case. But I

947
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: had to like remind myself he did play the entire postseason.

948
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 2: Like he played in all six games of that Great

949
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: Knick series. He averaged over forty minutes per game. He

950
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: had a fifty burger in Game three, he went for

951
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: thirty nine and thirteen in a three point loss. In

952
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: Game six, he looked pretty damn good. And now he

953
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: had a stinker in there as well, But like, yeah,

954
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: he missed a good chunk of the season and all

955
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: in that, but like, I didn't really have any questions

956
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: about his health. I guess, like I always figured he

957
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: was going to be good to.

958
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: Go Joel Embid. You didn't have questions about his health

959
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: the last we saw him. Task Every Joel Embiid health

960
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: update is news, even if he's just saying, hey, he

961
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: is still healthy.

962
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 2: But the last we saw him, he was playing and

963
00:42:58,800 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 2: he was healthy.

964
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: He was a little defensively, I mean.

965
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: Thirty nine and thirteen in his last game we saw him. Yeah,

966
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: I guess, so anyway, he's going to be playing and

967
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: he's pumped, and you got BAM and eighty anyway, and

968
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: they got totally guy.

969
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: Though, like the States hasn't had a player like Embiid

970
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: since Jack was around. Yeah, and they basically play small

971
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: ball ever since the two thousand and eight Olympics, which

972
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: is why Bam has been such a key member, why

973
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: eighty has been just such a key member. And then

974
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: you know Bosh and Kevin Love way back when. So

975
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: having a guy who can score in the post, I

976
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll be going to that because Embiid

977
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: has kind of become a mid range player. But you

978
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: see post up centers do really well in FIBA basketball,

979
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: and that'll just be a different wrinkle for the USA

980
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: to have. I would also like to hear some updates

981
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: on Tyrese Haliburton, Yeah, Kawhi Leonard Yeah, and then I

982
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: guess like Jalen Brunson not technically on the team, but

983
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: he had a wrist injury at the end of their

984
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: playoff run, and I think he would probably be the

985
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: guy who slots in for either Haliburton or Kawhi if

986
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: they were gonna be missing time. But cool. I mean,

987
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: it's exciting for him to get a goal.

988
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 2: Metal, it's gonna win something.

989
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: You gotta assume that Kawhi Leonard smiled this weekend.

990
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: It was rare.

991
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: It was rare. Haircut, got a haircut.

992
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: It looks different.

993
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: Everybody talking about that haircut. What about those teeth? You

994
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 3: don't see Kawhi smile very often, So very good for him.

995
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: All these guys doing some social media things. Kendrick Perkins,

996
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: you see him taking shots, hitting three pointers. Kendrick Perkins

997
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: working out with the lethal shooter. Yeah, he's hitting three pointers.

998
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 2: He didn't see.

999
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 3: He didn't hit one in his NBA career, but now he's.

1000
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: Perkins was in the running for Team USA.

1001
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. I definitely did. Yeah, what's going on?

1002
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 3: You see that smile? That's big big.

1003
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: It looks different. He looks old.

1004
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: He definitely looks different. Ye whoa Okay, I even had

1005
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: to be like, that's ka. Why are we sure?

1006
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1007
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: I guess it is him. I think it's like by

1008
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: all accounts, Tyre's Halliburt, maybe even Kawhi. They might be

1009
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: ready here, but I guess it's right around the corner.

1010
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 2: At the start of tm USA training camp July fifth,

1011
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: I think, U when they start getting together and so

1012
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: we'll find out quickly if those guys are playing and

1013
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: going to be on the roster. Can you want to

1014
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: remind me? Do we have the entire twelve man roster?

1015
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: Or was it eleven of the twelve? I couldn't remember.

1016
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: I thought we had Do we have a twelve?

1017
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay? I thought if everybody's healthy and good to go, Yeah,

1018
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: it's like one open No, maybe you're right, because it's

1019
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: like Anthony Edwards, it's obviously Lebron, it's Curry.

1020
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: Well, Trey finds it. I did want to say, I

1021
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,960

00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: can get this to Game six. Obviously no team ever

1087
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 2: come back from three h maybe we'll be talking about that,

1088
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 2: but maybe the Celtics win their eighteenth banner tonight.

1089
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: Asked early in the show, game five. What you got

1090
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: MAVs close win, Beantown close win, or a blowout. Either way,

1091
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent say the Mavericks close win, and then

1092
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: we've got to combined fifty three percent for being town

1093
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: to either close it out in a close one or

1094
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: a blog.

1095
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 2: Okay, we will find out later tonight. We'll be back

1096
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 2: tomorrow to obviously give you all our takeaways from game

1097
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: five tonight. Enjoy the game and we'll see you here

1098
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: at tenne up Eastern from the Classic Factory. Until then,

1099
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 2: Clipper bros.

1100
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: You heard it here first, have a great time, turn up.

1101
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: Love you guys, awesome.

1102
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us. And remember it's unlikely Dallas comes

1103
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 3: back from three to zero, but what's more likely is

1104
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 3: the Endwandon Oilers come back from three to zero in

1105
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 3: the final. What's great is that three to one. Next

1106
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 3: game is tomorrow. Surprisingly, I thought it would be on

1107
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 3: the same night that's our game five here, but it's not.

1108
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 3: It's tomorrow, so get to watch it tomorrow.

1109
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: Tomorrow.

1110
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, tomorrow toilers. Always you know, with this NHL dot

1111
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 3: com banner, it's always confusing what day of these games

1112
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 3: are not, but it is tomorrow.

1113
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: But you did say the leafs and like what the

1114
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 2: forties did, come back from a three to zero deficit

1115
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: in the in the final.

1116
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: That is correct, in the forties.

1117
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: The last time done.

1118
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the last time the leaves want a cup,

1119
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: but that's not true. They wanted sixty seven. Thank you

1120
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: very much, basing eight people
