Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.400 They say we may have a series. Minnesota Timberwolves take 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.079 Game four on the road. They are now headed back 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.520 to Minnesota, which I was just recently informed when I 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.880 was there that it's called like the state of Lakes 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.880 or Minneapolis is like the city of Lakes or a 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.480 state of a thousand lakes or something of that nature. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.520 And it threw me for a loop because obviously I'm 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.360 from the great State of Michigan and we are the 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.240 great Lake State, and so I just didn't know like 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:40.400 anyone had anything about their state that was anything about lakes. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.160 And so I gained a little more love for the 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.440 state of Minnesota because y'all a lot like us. So yeah, 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.480 but they are headed back to Minnesota for Game five, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.480 and we will get into that. We were also touched 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.040 on the Celtic sweeping the Pacers and what was a 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.119 close series. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:02:59.840 Yet not so close. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.919 All we will talk tylu and his extension and last 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.639 but not least, the great Bill Walden Rest in peace. 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.560 But don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel. Appreciate you. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.240 Thank you to all our los subscribers. We appreciate you 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.320 as well. T Willves beat the Mavericks one five to 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.080 one hundred in Dallas for Game four. It's funny because 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.000 on air, I remember hearing somebody say yesterday, like one 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.880 hundred points probably won't win you the game, and t 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.560 Wolves get the one oh five. Dallas only gets to 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.440 one hundred and one oh five happens to be enough. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.720 Ant Man comes back with Avengers twenty nine to nine 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:44.600 and ten lovin for twenty five, shooting two five from 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:49.240 the three, six turnovers, which we'll get into that a 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.720 little bit as well, not ant Man's turnovers, but the 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.640 turnovers as a whole for Minnesota. Kat came back with 0:03:55.720 --> 0:04:00.520 Avengers twenty five points, five rebounds in thirty minutes, battle 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.440 and foul trouble most of the half, first half and 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.680 pretty much most of the game. However, finished now for 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.480 thirteen shooting four for five from three. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.640 Also ended up filing out the game. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.080 Luca another triple double twenty eight ten and fifteen seven 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.560 to twenty one from field, four to four, eleven from three. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.680 Kyrie didn't have a Kyrie Irving type night with sixteen points, 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.400 four assists, six for eighteen from the field, one for 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:35.920 six from three, and so there you have it. In 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.719 the words of the great Shaquille O'Neal, in the words 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.520 of the great Childs Barkley, the stars gotta play well, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.720 and that's one side of the story doesn't quite tell 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:52.200 the whole story. However, it does say tell one side. Now, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:58.120 if you look at this, they ended up outscoring Luca 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.800 and Kyrie, Cada ended up scored. I was scoring Luca 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.360 and Kyrie fifty four to forty four. And if I 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:11.680 am the Dallas Mavericks, you can leave that game feeling 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.080 a few different ways. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.680 You can leave that game feeling like Luca. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:22.360 Didn't play well, Kyrie didn't play well, PJ. Washington didn't 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.160 play well, and we still had a chance down the 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.000 stretch to win the game, only lost the game by five. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:32.200 You could look at it that way. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.080 If you're a Minnesota you can look at it and say, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.839 we've been in this position each game this series could 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:45.560 easily be flipped the opposite way, and we finally made 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.400 the necessary plays we needed to make down the stretch. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.240 And on top of that, they scored thirty points off 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.320 our turnovers. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.600 If we cut those back, we're smooth selling. Now. 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.680 There's a lot of ifs, and if the fifth we'd 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:08.359 all be drunk right now. However, if I'm leaving that game, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:19.200 my thoughts would be Minnesota always have a chance because 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.720 at Man's demeanor and at man played last night the 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.719 way that he that we've grown the customer and man 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.040 plan not in the first three games of this series. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.080 The first three games of this series, it almost looked 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.800 like and was sick or something like and like, I 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.520 don't want to be one of those Instagram doctors or face, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.839 so like take this with a grain of salt. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.119 But to me, it just looked like he was sick, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.800 Like he was gassed. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.359 Like for the majority part of all three games, he 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.080 was gassed, Like didn't wasn't playing with the same force, 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.760 was selling for a lot of threes, like it wasn't 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.240 getting downhill at all. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.200 And that's not the ant Man that we've grown to know. 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.160 And I heard him saying his postgame press conference last night, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.160 he said, you know, I just wasn't running to the 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.560 corner and not getting the ball or shining away from 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.960 the ball. And I heard him say that, and at 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.440 Man strikes me as someone that hey, he's never going 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.560 to make an excuse, So he's never going to come 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.320 out and be like, yo, I was sick. If somebody 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.200 on their staff come out and say sick, our hell 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.320 gonna break lose, because then they got to deal with him. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:32.440 And so I just don't. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.120 He doesn't strike me as he's not an excuse maker, 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.200 like he is a leader. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:37.560 He is. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.480 He's a young guy who wants it, and we you know, 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.640 we've talked about that all along, and so he just 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.280 doesn't strike me as someone who'd come out and make 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:52.120 an excuse. However, if you were watching the same game 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.720 I was watching, he just didn't look the same. And 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.880 when he came out and said last night, like, oh, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.320 I was shining away from the ball. I was just 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.200 running to the corner, that's just him taking the blame 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.960 on himself. Like, come on, put place all the blame here. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.080 Don't go blame my guys. Don't go blame cat, don't 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.920 go blame Rudy Gobert. Place all the blame here. So 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.720 I was running to the corner, hiding from the ball. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.880 And man, ain't never gonna be somebody that run to 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:16.880 the corner and hide from. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:17.280 The ball. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.120 As they, as the young fellas say, he running up 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.200 the chimney for the smoke. He ain't running to the corner. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.360 And like hiding from the ball. I've seen guys do 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.680 that in this league. Superstars do that in this league. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.640 He don't strike me as one of those that's just 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.680 going to run to the corner and sit there because 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.040 of what may go wrong. Don't strike me as that. 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.840 That ain't who he is. So I ain't rolling with that. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.800 And to me, it just looked like something was off. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.520 Lown's win was a little off. Didn't have that same 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.840 burst that he had last night. Like you saw it 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.640 right away last night. He got that ball in transittion boom, 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.880 You're like, oh, he here today, right like he here. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:14.319 And when he did that, it also jolted their team. 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.839 You could also see them all of a sudden, he 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.760 went from like this to like, oh, we're here, because 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:21.280 that is. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.320 Their emotional leader. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.319 Obviously he's their best player, but he's also their emotional leader. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.280 He's also their leader wear a lot. He wears a 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:36.160 lot of hats for that team. And yeah, that's just 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.720 not a guy that's going to do that. So everybody 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:43.640 poked their chest back out. Kat continues his streak of 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.280 playing awful in the first half, comes out with his 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.199 chest poked out in the second half. A couple of 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.200 drives to the rim, layup, another drive to the rim, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:10:01.400 layup sweet baseline, and one then hit the three right, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.840 So you work inside out. Coaches have always told me, like, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.440 you want to play the game inside out. You never 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.679 want to play the game outside and you want to 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.320 play the game inside out. You start in, you work 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.960 your way out. You build a rhythm in, work your 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.360 way out. The rhythm carries over. They've been playing the 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:28.120 game outside in with a huge size advantage, so not 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.400 taking away that, you're not taking advantage of that size advantage. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:38.959 So if you can't take advantage of the size disparity, 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.000 then the size just comes a liability because you're definitely 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.000 not fast enough on. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.360 The other end to keep up with those guys. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.000 So if you're not going to punish them on the 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.599 offensive end for being that small, then the size is 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:54.560 kind of off for nothing. 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.079 And for three and a half games, that's exactly what 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:58.560 we saw. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.920 In the first quarter yesterday, Minnesota outscored Dallas in the 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.680 paint fourteen to two. Second quarter, Dallas even that out. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.720 Now they didn't even the total out the second quarter 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:19.079 was just even A man ended up in foul trouble 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.199 in the second quarter, Rudy go Bert ended up in 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.520 fil trouble in the second quarter, Kat ended up in 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.959 foul trouble. All of them was in foul trouble in 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.720 the first half, and those numbers even out the second 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.719 half started. They came right back out and you can 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.760 tell that their game plan was, we're not shooting many threes, 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.320 we're getting to the basket. In turn, at Man goes 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.120 two for five from three. He's been taking eleven threes, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.880 twelve threes. Kat goes four to five from three. He's 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:55.000 been taking nine threes, eight threes. He goes four to five, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.360 and the first one doesn't come until he's been going 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.280 to the basket and getting whatever you want it. Now, 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.439 I am not of the group that thinks Cat shouldn't 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.400 shoot threes. Kat's a great shooter if you can do 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.760 something as well as he can shoot the basketball, shoot 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.160 the basketball. However, the slump that he was in, I 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.120 think over the last six games or something before prior 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.000 to last night. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.920 He was four for thirty two. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.920 At that point, that you're shooting that bad and you're 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.600 playing against a team that you actually have an advantage 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.360 on if you're going to post. Yeah, I'm not saying 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:39.480 stop shooting, but you can't lead with the three. And 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.560 Cat made that adjustment and he played his best game 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.240 of the series. 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.400 Now I'll tell you what something that I. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:51.320 Do when I am in these playoff series and I 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:57.400 face elimination, and because sometimes this stuff is just mind games, 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:02.920 like is mind tricks. Sometimes you got a fool yourself. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:08.040 It's funny because Math text me last night right when 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.480 Luca got into it with Kyle Anderson, and Math's like, look, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.160 Luca's just does like Luca just finds stuff to get 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:15.840 himself going. 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:17.640 And I'm like. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.240 Absolutely, and you can clearly see it because yes, it 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.679 was a close out game. Yes, all that dollars don't 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.439 believe that Timberwolds can beat them, and. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.560 So they were kind of just like going through the motions. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.240 And I won't like say they weren't playing hard because 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.679 it's the conference finers, like they but it wasn't the 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:42.400 intensity level that you thought you'd see. And Luca immediately 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.720 like was getting feisty at a few people, and you 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.200 can tell he's just trying to bring himself up. But anyway, 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.360 I kind of have this thing where we go through, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.960 you know, say we down in the series. I'm wearing 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:10.000 all black, probably some black forces, and that's that why 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.040 it's number one. I don't need to waste any time 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.280 thinking about an outfit. We got a game to play. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.320 Number two, I can care less how I walk into 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.520 this arena looking. I need to win some games so 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:30.520 we don't get eliminated. Number three, I'm in all black sweatsuit, 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:36.560 not the best looking black sweatsuit, some black forces, some 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:44.440 black glasses. I'm going to war. Like this ain't about 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.520 how I look in the tunnel. I'm going to war. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.320 I don't got time for none of that. And so 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.160 I think number one Cat should probably take a page 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.440 out of that book, like Cat be fresh. I ain't 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:01.880 got to give it to him. He's been putting his 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.600 fist together for the last few years. I gotta give 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.280 it to him. But sometimes it just ain't time to 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.920 think about that. And like that's something that I do, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.200 like when our back is really against the wall. And 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:20.000 quite honestly, I can't remember how how it's maybe failed 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.640 me once or twice, but it usually comes through for 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.040 me because it's just winning is a mindset. Winning is 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:31.760 a mentality. Winning isn't an X or O. Winning is 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:37.120 a mentality. And I just want to remind myself and 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.200 be sure that the moment I step out of this 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.760 room or out of my house or the moment I 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.920 step out of the car off this bus, I got 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.960 one thing on my mind. That's how I'm going to war. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.000 I'm going to rob somebody for what they think is 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:59.200 theirs and I think it's mine. And so that's the 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:04.560 demeanor that Minnesota got to have, Like, yeah, you got one. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.760 Nobody wants to get swept. But guess what now, Minnesota 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:13.960 not going to have the same intensity that they had 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.920 in Game four to start Game five. Now, I think 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.200 they'll be happy to get back home. They'll have some energy, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:27.240 for sure. There is nothing like facing the sweep. Nobody 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.040 wants to get swept. Think about its Shack said, I 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.920 spent swept five times in my career. People can name 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.880 off the amount of I saw CP on ESPN the 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.800 other night, like I've been swept one time in my career. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.359 Named it off right like that. People remember being swept, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.960 and people keep tracking that. So nobody wants to be 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.440 the team that didn't win a game in a series 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.480 like that sucks, man. And so they came out how 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:01.480 we expected them to come out, feisty, chippy. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:03.320 You saw Rudy Gobert. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.400 I told you I love watching the games within the game, man, 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.840 Rudy Gobert, Chuck gott Read a couple of times just 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:14.320 running down the court boom boom, Luca a couple of 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.000 times boom. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:17.600 Gafferd boom. 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.600 I said, Oh, he's setting the tone. I see it. 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.320 I respect it. Nobody will give them credit for that 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.480 because people don't watch the game. Within the game, you 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.800 know what they saw man, Kay had twenty five and 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.160 Man had twenty nine. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:37.439 Yeah, they gotta do that. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.520 Don't get me wrong, not taking away from them what 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:45.080 those guys did, but you gotta set a tone, and 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:52.240 I thought ant Man definitely set the tone offensively. Jaden 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:57.600 McDaniels and Rudy Gobert set the tone defensively. Kyle Anderson 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.960 came in and took that to another level. Jaden McDaniel's 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.840 was all over Kyrie. Kyrie never was able to get 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.480 it going. That's also a matchup that Kyrie hasn't seen 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.520 much of, so ky is gonna have to make that adjustment. 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.119 Kay is a wizard. I have no doubt that he'll 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.800 be able to make the adjustment. But Jaden McDaniels and 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.600 Rudy go Bear set a tone. Rudy like, Nah, you 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.760 ain't just running down the court getting a free run. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.560 Boom nah. 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:29.879 And by the way, Scott Foster and Molloy Billy Kennedy, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:30.760 they was letting it go. 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.040 They was letting it go. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.400 Yeah, those guys ended up in foul trouble, but I'll 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.280 tell you what, they could have caught way more files 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.159 than the foul trouble than those guys ended up and 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.520 they letting it go. It's an elimination game. You going 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:49.800 for a sweep. Don't call tiki tax stuff. I saw 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:54.200 a few people like, oh, Scott Foster, Scott Foster's there. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.800 We know what time it is? Yeah, we do know 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:57.439 what time it is. 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.679 Scott Foster there, He ain't calling all that ticky tech stuff. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.600 That's what time it is. Ain't no TICKI tach gonna 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.840 be called. I was Scott. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.240 And by the way, you ain't gonna get a much complaining. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.680 Because you know what you're gonna get with Scott. Told 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.199 y'all Scott one of my favorites. Because I know what 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.280 I'm gonna get. I don't have to guess. You know, 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.520 some referees coming to the game, they act like they 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.720 cool with you. You think y'all cool. You say something 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:31.280 on boom like yo, I just had a full conversation 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:36.800 with you, bro, how that happened? Like how we end 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.280 up there? I just have full conversation with you through 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:43.520 the game, end of the game. We have full conversations. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.520 And then you just hit me with a tech that fast, 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.879 Like why you fake like that? You ain't getting that 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.280 from Scott. You say hello to Scott's Hey, Draymond, how 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.400 you doing. I'm great, Scott? How about you? I'm great, 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.040 Draymond is good to see you. Good to see you 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.080 to Scott. Family doing well. Family's great, Scott. How about 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.520 you great? All right, Scott, have a go and you 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.960 have a go on too, Dremond. And then I know 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:09.320 exactly what I'm getting from there. 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:11.280 Every single time. 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.919 Don't come up to me on no bullshit, I'm gonna 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.400 tex you. You continue, I'm gonna throw you out. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.520 It's just that simple. 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.560 You got something you want to talk about, great, come 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:24.879 on over here, let's talk about it. 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.800 Tell me what you think. I'll tell you what I saw. 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.919 That's that. We ain't gotta go back and forth about it. 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.280 You could say something back like, oh, Scott, I'll just 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:34.600 checked it all right? Cool? I got you. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.399 But if you go the wrong way he gonna tex you, 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.080 so you know what you're getting with Scott. So I 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:47.800 love to see Scott coming. Actually I am not of 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.200 the bunch that's like, oh man, Scott here. Oh like No, 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:51.120 I actually like. 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.399 Because you're gonna get the real and you know what 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:54.879 you're getting. 0:20:54.920 --> 0:21:00.639 So anyway, they let a lot go and Rudy Gobert 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.480 setting the tone like he sat with the physicality Jaden 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:12.280 McDaniels with the physicality Hawking Ki. Then their defense what's set. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.600 At Man set the pace on the offense, had a 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.720 great first quarter. If I'm not mistaken, I think he 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:19.640 had seventeen in. 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:20.240 The first quarter. 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.480 And then at Man ended up in foul trouble, but 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.639 they stayed afloat Na's Reed made a couple of plays. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.600 Nikile Alexander Walker made a couple of big shots, Mike 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.960 Conley got inside the lane, and I think most importantly 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.240 at Man got to the free throw line. So with 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.160 them setting the tone that they were setting. At Man 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.200 getting to the free throw line, now you're playing against 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:49.320 the set defense every time, and they already set the tone. Dallas, however, 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.840 so you getting to the free throw line, but you're 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.440 turning the ball over they kind of cancel each other 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.120 out right, Like Dallas got some runouts off the turnovers, 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:01.000 but they didn't get a runnouse off me shots because 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:02.840 a man was getting to the free throw line shot 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.400 eight free throws in the first quarter. We haven't seen 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.080 that a man, because we haven't seen a man attacking 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.520 like that, and so it was just a totally different, 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:17.119 totally different ball club. I think that the absence of 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:21.480 Derek Lively was huge, definitely makes a difference. He brings 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:27.920 a certain energy to the group, certain bounciness, blocks some shots, 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:32.480 obviously live threat graded in the short roll. Uh man, 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.000 he makes the reads in the short role. He's even 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.240 starting to finish in the short out of short row. 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.959 And so they missed Lively for sure. Uh. I'm not 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:48.879 sure what happened to DWIGHTE. Powell Man Dwhite Powers. Dwhite 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.240 Power was good for many years, and he just he 0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:55.000 not giving them much at all, so much so that 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.760 they almost they They brought Maxie Klaber back, who pretty 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.000 much said before the game, like, yeah, my shoulder not right, 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:06.120 but I'm gonna play. And I thought that was very 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:12.000 interesting because they'll need Claybor I think against Boston they're 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.280 able to get through this series, which I think they will, 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.560 and they'll need Claybor against Boston because Clayber will spend 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.720 some time on JT for sure. They like to put 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:25.520 Claybor on long wings that they got. And so you got, yes, 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.639 you know, we know PJ, we know d Jones gonna 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:34.840 start on Jalen, and we know they'll start on Jalen 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:40.000 and Jason. But you go to your bench who those 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.080
