1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: The Sono's Move is the best portable speaker I have

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: ever owned, and I am not just being a shill here.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: It's too good to be called a portable speaker. It

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: chews up in spits out its competition. It is high quality.

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: I use the Move as both a stationary speaker and

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: all around my house, garage, in my outdoor space, and

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: I've dropped the crap out of it. Regular portable speakers

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: can't take hits like the Move. Not sure I should

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: be saying this, but I dropped it down the stairs.

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I should be saying this. I'd be happy to

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: get a second. Actually I don't need a second. Even

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Sono states don't worry about accidental drops or bumps. Moves

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: components are protected by a hardwaring shock resistant case, and

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: my system, with one I take around my place is

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: working very well. I use my Move as a stationary

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: speaker a lot. It hangs out on the charging base.

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: I love that I don't have to plug in a

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: charging court. It has an eleven hour battery life, no joke.

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: It works with all streaming services, the app or Airplay, Bluetooth,

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. I'm too lazy to be

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: looking for new music. So I have really loved the

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: SOS radio option. Some of my favorite stations are Rare Grooves,

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: hip Hop Archive, or just keeping it mainstream. If you're

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: in the move, go to sos dot com to learn

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,000

26

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: on themselves and you know, they don't have as much

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: money and they don't have you knowing, everythings aren't going

48
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,240

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 5: was today, but uh, good luck to all the horses.

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 4: What do you say fast look through all the horses?

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,200

00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: on storm the Court twenty one. I mean it's got

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,079

00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: that name horse, I was, I was just you. You

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: brought this back in my brain because usually this is

59
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: run earlier in the summer, right spring summer, but they

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: delayed it to September fifth. Yeah, and back then, I

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: remember seeing that date and I thought, wow, maybe we

62
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: could venture on down there. It'll have definitely have fans

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: by then, right, I guess.

64
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: No, No, actually, I just heard that all the fans

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: in the stands are going to be other horses. That's fine.

66

Speaker 6: Yeah, money moves that. I don't mind money moves, so

87
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,880

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: like beside the horses name scr I was like, what, like,

97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: by the way their odds would be normally, I'm like,

98
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 4: what does that mean? I guess it means scratch. So

99
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 4: a couple of these horses have been scratched. So unfortunately,

100
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,160

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: news a little bit later in the show JD. But

107
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: first some game recaps, looking back at two games on

108
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: Friday night. We'll start in the Eastern Conference. The Miami

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 4: Heat use a big fourth quarter, a very big fourth quarter,

110
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: to take the three to zero series lead over the

111
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 4: Milwaukee Bucks. They are in trouble. Trey, get us started

112
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: by man, where you want to what do you want

113
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 4: to start?

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: First?

115
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 5: Falk saw Jimmy Butler has ever wanted to do is

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: work hard and be the man. And the fourth quarter

117
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: he was working hard. So the Milwaukee Bucks just straight up.

118
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 5: Let him be the man. This was another takeover by

119
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: Jimmy Butler. Going down twelve heading into the fourth quarter,

120
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: Butler outscores the Bucks seventeen to thirteen. Uh, and he

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: just set the tone from basically the jump in the

122
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. He kept getting to the line the heat

123
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 5: were in the bonus with six minutes remaining. You know,

124
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 5: Butler is cooking at that point. So Jannis finally decides

125
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: to guard Jimmy Butler. Butler goes right by him. It's

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: a dish to Bam for a bucket inside. Then it's

127
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 5: another blow by by Butler on Giannis for a layup.

128
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 5: And then it's another blow by by Butler on Giannis.

129
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 5: He kicks it out to Jay Crowder, an unsung hero

130
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 5: in Game three, knocks down his fifth three. The Bucks

131
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 5: leading by twelve going into the fourth, but it's forty

132
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: to thirteen.

133
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 4: He in the fourth quarter.

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 5: And I don't know, guys, it's it's looking at the

135
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 5: war at the best for the Bucks.

136
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 4: This is looking gentlemanly.

137
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 5: Because uh, I don know, the heat looked great that

138
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. It just felt like the bucks soul was

139
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 5: slipping out of their body.

140
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: Oh, it was a bad, bad fourth. Quarner from Milwaukee

141
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: shot six of twenty three from the field, oh for

142
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: ten from distance, and like you said, outscored by Jimmy

143
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: Butler alone seventeen to thirteen.

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: It's over, baby. Yeah, a bad fourth quarter. That was

145
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: the worst fourth quarter in NBA history, in the history

146
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, being beat by twenty seven points. It

147
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get worse than that. Yeah, well they got shellac

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: and like you said, trade they were up twelve going

149
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter. They were still up double digits

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: with ten minutes left. But yeah, their soul has evaporated.

151
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Really when you're up by eleven points with ten minutes

152
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: left and then you just kind of stopped. What really

153
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: happened was the Heat worked harder, they really did. They're

154
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: up eleven, the Heat get a shot up offensive rebound,

155
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: Bam goes to the free throw line. Next possession, offensive rebound,

156
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy scores, and Eric Bledsoe comes down the other way,

157
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: chucks up a three early in the shot clock, which

158
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: is an Eric Bledsoe trend from past lower other way.

159
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: Gordon Dragets hits a three. All of a sudden, that

160
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: eleven point lead is a four point lead. Then Yannis

161
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: goes to the bench for two minutes, which we will

162
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: debate in a second. He comes back and it's a

163
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: one point lead, but then boom, it's over. It's just

164
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it was just over. That they score thirteen points in

165
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter after leading by double digits. What does

166
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: that say? That just says that they're done. They're really

167
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: done in this series. They know that even though they

168
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: executed for three quarters, they know the team that across

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: the floor is working harder than them. Getting five offensive

170
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: rebounds in a quarter in the fourth there, that's just

171
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: way too many. They just got out worked, out passioned,

172
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: out hustled, and you know, you can go through the

173
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: mistake and mistake after mistake for the Bucks or yeah,

174
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: the Bucks in the fourth quarter like we did in

175
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Game three. They made plenty down the stretch, but when

176
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: it comes down to it, they got out toughed. They

177
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: know this thing's done.

178
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think for this game. In that fourth quarter,

179
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 6: Yannis tried to fight when he did play, he was

180
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 6: out there competing and trying. So was Brook Lopez. After that,

181
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 6: no one else I thought had that same sort of resistance,

182
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 6: you know, like Miami when they got back into the game,

183
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 6: and you were think, Okay, the Bucks have to steady here,

184
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 6: and it was like, as Bledsoe going to step up?

185
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 6: Is Chris Middleton going to step up? Nobody really did,

186
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 6: and Yarnis was trying to force things and he gets

187
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 6: himself sort of caught up, and then they were kind

188
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 6: of relying on brook Lopez to just kind of hit

189
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 6: some shots and make some plays. And again that's a

190
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 6: problem for the Bucks, and it comes back again to

191
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 6: the coaching of Mike Budenholzer. He seems confused. He doesn't

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 6: seem to know quite exactly what he should be doing

193
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 6: out there and what his rotation should be and who

194
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 6: should be playing the most minutes. I know he's going

195
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 6: to defend that thing about Yarnis, you know, thirty six

196
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 6: to thirty eight minutes to get into the ceiling. But

197
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 6: you're seeing what the Raptors did to get back into

198
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 6: their series against the Celtics, when Nick Nurse is basically like,

199
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 6: let's just play everyone until they fall over, because that's

200
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 6: what we need to do. We need our best players

201
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 6: out there. But the Bucks the same sort of problems

202
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 6: that have haunted them in the last couple of seasons,

203
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: with again guys like Bledsoe just went completely missing yesterday

204
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 6: and I don't know what they can do to even

205
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 6: win a game now because this one again, if you

206
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 6: compare this what happened to the Raptors against the Celtics,

207
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 6: when the Raptors blew that lead on the Marcus Smart

208
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 6: five to threes, it was like the Raptors sort of

209
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 6: stayed in that game and gave himselfs a chance. But here,

210
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 6: once the Heat got ahead, the Bucks kind of were

211
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 6: just like, all right, we can't fight back anymore. We'd done.

212
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 6: And this is a team that should have been desperate

213
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: and fighting and scrapping for every possession, but instead it

214
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 6: felt like the Miami Heat were the ones who were

215
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 6: just more desperate to go three nil up and not

216
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 6: to give any ground back at all to the Bucks.

217
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I talked about after a Game two.

218
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: That was the vibe was getting from that victory from

219
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: the Heat. It was like, uh, oh, oh, I think

220
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 4: they know that they're going to win this series and

221
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: they know they can kill the Bucks, and they've crushed

222
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: their spirit a little bit. Oh, you're right. The Bucks

223
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: played pretty well for a good chunk of this game,

224
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: but the take over there I mean Jimmy Butler's clowning

225
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: them too. In the fourth quarter, Like you said that

226
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: one there Trey where he drives baseline again around Giannis

227
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: and a beautiful passo to j Crowder, I mean he

228
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: splits it between a bunch of traffic there and Crowder,

229
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: who's on fire, hits the three. Jimmy, I mean turning

230
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 4: into Steph Curry there, like he passed it and his

231
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 4: hand was up. That's a three. He's going back on

232
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: defense before crowders even let it go. So yeah, that's

233
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 4: got to be even you know, insult to injury there

234
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: from Jimmy Butler in the heat, just shutting these guys down.

235
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 4: Everybody knows the stat No team in NBA history has

236
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: ever come back after trailing three. Oh, so it's a wrap.

237
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 4: I mean, they're not gonna do it. I don't think

238
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: they're gonna be the first. I guess you could say, Look,

239
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 4: if it were to ever happen, maybe it would happen

240
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: in this weird environment where there's no you know, home

241
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 4: court advantage and all that. Maybe, but the heater just

242
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: a much better team. That's that's the fact of it.

243
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: And they're playing harder, like Tass said, so you had

244
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: those two things together and you got the closer in

245
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler over the closer and Yannis who struggled again.

246
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: There was stretches lee where the ball didn't even go

247
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: to Giannis down down the stretch like you're you're right.

248
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: Of course, when he gets to him, he is attacking,

249
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: he is giving it us all. There were a good

250
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 4: couple of possessions where he didn't even touch the ball.

251
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: On the offense.

252
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 6: Well, and two things out of that. Giannis again he's

253
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 6: trying to or stuff. But that Miami Heat defense is like,

254
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 6: if you do get the ball, we're just going to

255
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 6: put four people on you and make you make a play.

256
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 6: And he's not really able to do that. And again

257
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 6: he's got shooters out there. They should be able to

258
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 6: knock down their shots. But those guys don't really want

259
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 6: the ball, to be honest with you, they're not sort

260
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 6: of like saying, all right, I know this is coming,

261
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 6: I know that the Heat's defense is right now, I'm

262
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 6: going to get open and I'm either going to drive

263
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 6: or I'm going to take a three. I'm going to

264
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 6: make some sort of effort play here because the Heat

265
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: no if they can just make it difficult for Yannis.

266
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 6: The Bucks Plan B is not working right now. And

267
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 6: again that that kind that comes back to the coach.

268
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 6: It comes back to coach Bud and what Budenholz are

269
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 6: doing there, because he seems to be a little bit

270
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 6: confused as to how he's going to mix things up

271
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 6: and make it so that like, Okay, if you guys

272
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 6: don't want Yannis to beat you, then these other guys will.

273
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 6: That's why we've got these experienced guys. That's why we've

274
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 6: got three point shooters. These guys should be the one

275
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 6: stepping up and knocking down shots, but they don't seem

276
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 6: to be wanting it in that moment.

277
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why I kind of felt that there.

278
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: The Bucks are a regular season team because they just

279
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: they don't really have a close out plan. It's hey,

280
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: let's flick this thing around the perimeter and somebody will

281
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: make a play. Like the rest of the game, I mean,

282
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: I think they blowed out. They blowed out. They blew

283
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: out teams game after game after game in the regular

284
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: season because everybody on their team can sort of make

285
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: a play. But when you get the ball at the

286
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: three point arc and you have a really pressing defense.

287
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter playoff defense. Number one, it's a lot different.

288
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: Number two. You just need guys who can fight and

289
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: scrap through that and make some plays. And it's kind

290
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: of has to be one guy. It can't just be

291
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: this democratic thing like everybody's gonna touch it. Brook Lopez

292
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: mak A put the ball on the floor from the

293
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: three point line. I mean, that's going to get picked

294
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: against this great heat defense. There just wasn't really a

295
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: set plan. But you just need a start. That's why

296
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: you need to start a take over. And sometimes Jannis

297
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: from the free throw line worked, but it just seems

298
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: like they didn't necessarily have an end game to these

299
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: last few minutes. And sometimes it's bloodso which didn't end

300
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: up well, and sometimes it's broke out there. Sometimes it's

301
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: de Vincenzo. There's just it's just too many options. On

302
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the other side, you know, it's Jimmy finish it off.

303
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: On the Milwaukee side, it's just I don't know, everybody's

304
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna touch it. And I think that's that's part of

305
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: the problem with these Bud teams. It's it's you're relying

306
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: on so many guys and you can say like, look

307
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: at Boston, they kind of do that, and they do

308
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: they have three guys that sort of do that, but

309
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: at least you know it's the three guys, and they

310
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: kind of take it out of Jayalen Brown's hands as well.

311
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of just a Camba Tatum show. It's there.

312
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: Was just it was just too much. It was too many,

313
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: And I think let's get to the Giannis minutes, because yeah,

314
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: he played thirty six minutes in this game. He sat

315
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: two minutes of game time in the fourth quarter, which

316
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: you know they lost by three points there. I don't know,

317
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and that was after a timeout. I don't know why

318
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: you don't bring him out after a timeout, get him

319
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: up to thirty eight minutes. I'm not sure why you're

320
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: trying to keep him fresh there when the game is

321
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: slipping away as he sits there, and the game was

322
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: just they were just losing it while he was on

323
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: the floor before that as well, and then you just

324
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: have bad decisions made out there while you know, playing

325
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: more just a few more minutes. And it's crazy because

326
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: actually watching this and going to the fourth quarter, I

327
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: thought Bud kind of controlled the rotation better. He took

328
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: Pat Content out of the rotation. Basically, Kyle Korver's minutes

329
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: were cut down to five minutes, so he was kind

330
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: of playing eight and a half guys and he got

331
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: good minutes out of the Vincenzo and George Hill and

332
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: Marvin Williams were the other guys off the bench. It

333
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of worked out. But I just don't get why

334
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: you don't play your stars a touch more like it's

335
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: coming down from the medical staff. Like he said after

336
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: the game, thirty six minutes is our ceiling for Chris

337
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: Middleton and him.

338
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: I don't know, he says, I think because the problem.

339
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: I think that's pushing the ceiling playing them.

340
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 5: Jani is playing another four minutes. Does that really make

341
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 5: that much of a difference. Jimmy Butler played the exact

342
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: same minutes that Yannis did, and Jimmy Butler dominated this game.

343
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: Jannis could be out there dominating. He has five minute

344
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: stretches where Bud's able to get him going, where he's

345
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: able to attack the rim and get around the wall

346
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 5: that the heater building, But otherwise he's not out there

347
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: taking the game by its horns. I don't think, and

348
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 5: you know, he could play forty minutes, but if it's

349
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 5: forty minutes at ninety five percent of Yannis, then the

350
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 5: Bucks are going to continue to lose.

351
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: Jannis can be better.

352
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 5: He's got to figure out something else, because, like you

353
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: guys are saying, people were missing a lot of jump

354
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 5: shots there in the fourth quarter and Jannis was still

355
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: passing the ball out to him. Let's see something in

356
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: the lane. Let's see like a little dinker or dumper

357
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: from ten feet. You know, you don't have to pass

358
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 5: it out every single time. We're not expecting brook Lopez

359
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: to make plays on the perimeter. The MVP has to

360
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 5: be the MVP.

361
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it, and that's it. We've talked about it.

362
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: Like feels like ad nauseum. Now he needs to add something.

363
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: The in between game has to be added to his

364
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: repertoire here, Like don't even worry so much about the three.

365
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it'd be nice if everybody can hit a three,

366
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: of course when you're out there the floor in today's game,

367
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: but it is the driving and getting somewhere around the

368
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 4: paint and then whatever you're doing, is it just a

369
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: little pull up jumper? Like is it Kawhi? Like I mean, okay,

370
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: good luck. That might be a little bit difficult for

371
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 4: a guy of his size and his stature. But yeah,

372
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: some little floater, some little hook something around the paint

373
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: that he has to add to his game. I think

374
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: that's a given, and hopefully he knows that too. But

375
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 4: he should like all that said, though, in a must

376
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: win game. We just saw it with the Raptors. They

377
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: played their two best guys that have been playing their best, heavy,

378
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: heavy minutes because you gotta win or your season's over.

379
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: So ride him into the ground here. And he still

380
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: plays on his thirty five. Okay, now he has the ankle.

381
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 4: The situation, I get that there's a little twist to it,

382
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 4: but Middleton only played thirty six. There's no reason that

383
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: they shouldn't be playing at least forty I don't know,

384
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: two minutes forty plus at the very least. It's like

385
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: that that's six minutes, seven minutes, so they could be

386
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: getting their best guys out there and that it's just

387
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 4: perplexing to me when it's like your season's on the line, like,

388
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: come on, make that's a very easy adjustment, if you

389
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 4: want to call it. That play our best guys more.

390
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 6: I mean, okay, wow, Jannas is twenty five years old.

391
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 6: So if he can't play forty two minutes in a

392
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 6: playoff game right now, then there's something wrong. Chris Paul,

393
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 6: who's thirty five, you understand why Billy Donovan cave kind

394
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 6: of gave him a little bit of a rest in

395
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter of games because he is their closer,

396
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 6: and he went out and did it. But when you're

397
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 6: twenty five years old, you should be able to play

398
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 6: forty forty two minutes in a must win playoff game

399
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 6: without really any problem. Ron is playing those minutes like

400
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 6: half the time and the other The other adjustment for

401
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 6: Yannis is that three point shot. He's got to just

402
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 6: put that away. He's two for thirteen in the series.

403
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 6: It's kind of made out like he's an improved three

404
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 6: point shooter and he was on the season, but he's

405
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 6: still only thirty percent. He's when he's shooting those threes

406
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 6: Oho for seven last night, they're basically just turnovers for

407
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 6: the hit for the for the bucks, and he'd a like.

408
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: Shoot them all you want many.

409
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 6: Seriously, if you're going to take threes, even if you

410
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 6: hit a couple, that's fine. We'll live with that. But

411
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 6: that's where Yannis has to be like I say, he's

412
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 6: he sort of is getting stuck in the pain. He's

413
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 6: trying to force things a little bit too much rather

414
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 6: than trying to be a little bit more creative. Now

415
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 6: he'll learn that, I think, I think he'll become a

416
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 6: better player for it. But right now he's just struggling,

417
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: and he's running into sort of like Bam or crowd

418
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 6: or whoever's down there, and they're kind of like just

419
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 6: standing around, Well, what are you gonna do now? And

420
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 6: occasionally he'll get those layups and things, but he's not

421
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 6: doing it at a sort of crushing right that he's

422
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 6: putting the bucks in a strong position. He's hitting a couple,

423
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 6: but they hate to kind of like, we'll live with

424
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 6: this for now.

425
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's why he desperately needs to add that

426
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 4: mid range game of some sort, because he keeps barreling

427
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: into guys too. This becomes a recurring issue too, or

428
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 4: he gets all these offensive fouls. I think, like I

429
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: saw this stack going around, He's like led the league

430
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: by a mile, right, and offensive fouls like trucking over

431
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: guys because if you're the defender, you know he's not

432
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: stopping and popping you know he's not flipping up. You know,

433
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: he's either kicking or driving into you right right to

434
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: the rim. So like, you know, you try and establish yourself.

435
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: You can take the hit and fall over. You're gonna

436
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 4: get the offensive call. So the charge called. So yeah,

437
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: he needs to have that. But the heat were awesome

438
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: again too.

439
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: You know.

440
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: I don't want to like discredit them here. I know

441
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 4: we talked about Butler, but all those guys, like you said,

442
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: Crowder has been massive bam with the twenty and sixteen

443
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: sort of unheralded, huge rebounds, guys just hitting timely shots,

444
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: dragage once again, I thought, you know, at good chunks

445
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 4: of the game sort of taking over just enough for Jimmy,

446
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: and then you get, you know, we get weird Jimmy

447
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 4: after the game, you know, talking is junk and all that,

448
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 4: and has them told him to take over. I just

449
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: kept thinking of you, Trey. I know how much you

450
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: love Jimmy Butler, and you were the one guy to

451
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 4: take the bucks. I was like, ah, this has gotta

452
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 4: be killing t K because he.

453
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: Does love, love, love Jimmy.

454
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 5: And that's why it's fine. That's why it's fine to me. Yes,

455
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 5: I picked against Jimmy Butler. But if you've listened to

456
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: the show for the past decade, my bona fides are established.

457
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: I just love this guy because you know, he goes

458
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: out there, he dominates the Bucks in the fourth quarter,

459
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: brings home another win, and then he's sitting on the

460
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: bench and you can tell that he knows the cameras

461
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: on him because he just starts spouting off inspirational quotes

462
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: to his teams around him. I told you we got

463
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: some mother reffers ball on this team. Say IMF and right,

464
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 5: Say I'm f and right. I told you Jimmy Butler

465
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 5: knows where the camera is one hundred percent of the time,

466
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 5: and he's gonna play to it every time. And then

467
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 5: he comes out in like postgame press conferences, he's like,

468
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 5: it's not just me out there.

469
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 4: It's not just he's like the humblest guy of all time.

470
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: We're on to you, Jimmy, and we love it.

471
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

472
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wasn't. He wasn't talking to anybody like. It

473
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: wasn't like somebody who was like, uh, sorry, what. He's

474
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, you're right, he knows Camerazoni's saying all

475
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 4: this stuff, and everybody on the Heats play like, who

476
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: you talking to?

477
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: Man?

478
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, we were confident. We were pretty confident we're

479
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: gonna win this game too, But he just playing it

480
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: up and it's fun. It's fun. I love seeing them

481
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 4: take over once again. That's two games now where he

482
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: is outclassed. I mean, really three. I guess you're counting

483
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: the free throws to win game two. He's taken over

484
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: down the clutch. But man, man, man, man, So do

485
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 4: the Bucks have any chance to win game four? Let's

486
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: ask it. I mean, is it over? Is it a

487
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: sweep sweep or we get a gentleman sweep?

488
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 6: Wow? Man, it's crazy. I think the Bucks will get

489
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 6: swept in the second round. But I sort of feel

490
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 6: that that the way that game ended, that might have

491
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 6: just sucked the life out of them, knowing that no

492
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 6: matter what position they're in, they can blow it. And

493
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 6: really it just comes down to clutch time again. And

494
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 6: do you have any faith that the Bucks are going

495
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 6: to be able to execute any better than they have

496
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 6: so far?

497
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I said, Bud to change anything

498
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: up or given more minutes? No, And you're flaying and

499
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 4: you're playing the Miami Heat, who are definitely wired like

500
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 4: differently than a lot of teams because of Jimmy and

501
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: this Wolves are and like I feel like they're more like,

502
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 4: let's end it, let's kill them. You know, they're not

503
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: a gentleman at all. That's the thing that comes down

504
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: to me.

505
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 5: Could this be a gentleman's sweep with Jimmy Butler with

506
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 5: his dastardly mustache.

507
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 4: I doubt it, Probably not.

508
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 6: Probably Yeah, Well I picked the box yesterday and for

509
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 6: three quarters I thought, yeah, this is just what was

510
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 6: going to happen. You know, the Heat just weren't quite

511
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 6: in rhythm. That one quarter just changed everything. And that's

512
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: the thing with the Box. They're going to go into

513
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 6: this game knowing that, like even if they build up

514
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 6: a fifteen point lead, it's not safe against the against

515
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 6: the Heats. So yeah, I'll say a sweep. But that's man.

516
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 6: I wonder if Boodenholz he keeps his job if they.

517
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 5: Get swear you do not like to hear afterwards, we

518
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 5: had won six straight quarters up until that point. Immediately

519
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 5: I flashed to Jim Boyle and saying, we're looking at

520
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 5: growth play here. When you're talking about winning quarters in

521
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: the playoffs, the game has lost.

522
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think tasks.

523
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's time to get another coach to take him

524
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: over the line. Whether or not they win in game four,

525
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: Game five, they're just if they don't have that grittiness,

526
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: they just you can't match a grittiness level of another team.

527
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: And I thought, uh, you know, coming into the third quarter,

528
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, I saw Chris Middleton yell at Brook Lopez

529
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: and I thought, whoa, there is some life in this team.

530
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton probably be the one to make the shots

531
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: down the stretch, like he's the guy who can put

532
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: it on the floor, but everybody else in the rotation

533
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: and it's going to fall down on the coach if

534
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: they can't match a greediness level, whether it's five games

535
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: or whether it's four games. Yeah, I mean, I think

536
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: it feels like it's definitely over.

537
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 4: But well then there's the elephant in the room too

538
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 4: of what Giannis does with his extension right that he's

539
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 4: going to be offered immediately, whether when that's the possibility,

540
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 4: and does he sign it or not, and if he doesn't, oh,

541
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 4: here we go in Milllwaukee. Now I'm on record saying

542
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: he does. But this being swept in the second round

543
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: possibility of being swept in the second round and maybe

544
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: moving on from your coach. So it's a whole new

545
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: wrinkle to this. I don't know where to go with

546
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: that one. So we'll see, we will see.

547
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: Never know. I feel like guys can sign that monstrous

548
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: extension and then demand to trade a year into it

549
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: so they don't get questions like he has signed through

550
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: next year. So you sign that and you play your

551
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: one year and decide after that. I mean, but there's

552
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: lots to talk about a one plus one playing it

553
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: like Lebron to make sure that Milwaukee puts a better

554
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: guard system, coach system around him.

555
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, George Hill still has faith. We're still here in

556
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: the bubble. He said, it's not the first one to

557
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: win three games. I love this. It's the first one

558
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: to win four games. We still have basketball to play.

559
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 4: George Hill still believes. But they're gonna have to bring

560
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 4: it in the fourth quarter. The Bucks have scored fifty

561
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: nine total points in the fourth quarters of all three

562
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: of these games. Yeah, yeah, that's not going to.

563
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: Get into ask the officials to put it up that

564
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: it's quarter number three in the fourth quarter or something

565
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: like that. They're leading by double digits, go to the

566
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: fourth and then how can you have the worst point

567
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: differential in the fourth quarter in playoff history? This team

568
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: that was bashing teams had the you know, the largest

569
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: point differential, beating teams by eleven points. Did not having

570
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: fourth quarter experience hurt this team?

571
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 4: Regular interesting and interesting rank?

572
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: Wow?

573
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: All right, let's get keep it going here. Rockets run

574
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 4: away from the Lakers. Trey Kirby called this one. Rockets

575
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: take Game one one, twelve to ninety seven. Another big

576
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: run task in the fourth quarter really propelled the Rockets

577
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 4: to this victory. A fourteen oh run there at the

578
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 4: beginning of the fourth Rockets Game one. What's your big takeaway?

579
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Houston is in this thing to win it. Obviously

580
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: they're ready to fight and scrap. And I say that

581
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: because the team that's quite larger in the Los Ange

582
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: Jose Lakers didn't crush them with points in the paint,

583
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: didn't really hurt them on the glass. The Rockets were

584
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: ready to fight. I'm sure James Harden feels good to

585
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: be free of lou Dort. He was amazing against whoever

586
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: it was Danny Green or KCP on him. Russell Westbrook

587
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: very very good. I guess it would help if the

588
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Lakers had Avery Bradley in this series, just to be

589
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, a tinier Lou dort On James Harden. But

590
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna have to step up in Game two because

591
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: the Rockets, they just they beat them on both ends. Really,

592
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: the Rockets had twenty seven points off turnovers because the Lakers.

593
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: It did kind of remind me of Game one against

594
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the Blazers. I thought the Lakers weren't really moving, weren't

595
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: really getting to their spots, and they're kind of caught

596
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: in the mud, and the Rockets were ready to pounce

597
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: on those balls. And when you have twenty seven points

598
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: off turnovers, a quarter of your points off you know,

599
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: live ball turnovers like that, that just feeds the Rockets.

600
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: It really did, and Harden fed them in the first

601
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: and kept that spirit up. Eleven first half free throws

602
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: for Harden I thought was monstrous. And then in the

603
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter you have Rajon Rondo leading the team there

604
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the fourth quarter and they're working

605
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: him in. These are his first minutes in the playoffs,

606
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: and you can't have a backup guard turned the ball

607
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: over four times. You just can't, and that really hurt

608
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: the team. It would have been a lot nicer if

609
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: he didn't have those back spasms in the first round

610
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: because he was sort of back from his thumb injury,

611
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: but then the back kicked up. It would have been

612
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: nice if he could play against Portland instead of this

613
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Houston team a better squad because now they're trying to

614
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: work him in, and I don't mind them working him in.

615
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: I think that everybody has sort of being overblown. He

616
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: played twenty four minutes. The seven were garbage time, so

617
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: they were just trying to trying to get him acclimated.

618
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: But he obviously wasn't good. But I think the bigger

619
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: problem was the Rockets were better on both ends, and

620
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: Rondo played into that and he could have played least.

621
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'll credit to Harden and Westbrook.

622
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: They were better and their defense was better.

623
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of the keys to the series that

624
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 4: we were pointing out sort of came true for the

625
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: Rockets in Game one, especially defensively.

626
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 6: Absolutely you talk about it. Heard and Westbrook were fantastic,

627
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 6: but I think PJ. Tucker was absolutely incredible in this

628
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 6: game defensively what he brought he didn't score all that

629
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 6: many points. And I think the effort that he's been

630
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 6: putting on defensively is actually starting to affect his offensive

631
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 6: game a little because he's not shooting the three all

632
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 6: that well, those corner threes that we know he does

633
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 6: so well. But on that defensive end, he just does

634
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 6: not give an inch. And Anthony Davis yesterday struggled badly

635
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 6: when PJ was the loan defender on Tim McMahon how

636
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 6: to start. I can't remember exactly what it was, but

637
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 6: it was very, very impressive for PJ.

638
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 4: Tucker and I read through it as well. So I

639
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: think throughout the regular season Tucker's done the best job

640
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: out of anyone on Anthony Davis. But I don't think

641
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: he was matched up a ton of times in Game

642
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: one specifically.

643
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 6: Well, so this is why I read it, and I

644
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 6: wasn't quite sure about it, he said, So Davis finished

645
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 6: twenty five points, ten for sixteen, shooting right. Yeah, But

646
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 6: according to ESPN stats, Davis was over one from the

647
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 6: field and committed two turnovers in twenty six possessions, which

648
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 6: Tucker was the primarily defender primary defenders, which, yeah, which

649
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 6: that just seems a little odd that he would only

650
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 6: have taken one shot on twenty six possession. That's that's

651
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 6: also a.

652
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: Great Tucker is man.

653
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but the ball up.

654
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 6: But the thing is, you think he's thirty five years old.

655
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: He's playing a ton of minutes. Of course, everyone plays

656
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 6: a ton of minister the Rockets. He's coming off a

657
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 6: game seven two days rest or not even two days rest,

658
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 6: one day rest. And he went out there and gave

659
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 6: that sort of effort, which I think just set the tone.

660
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 6: And the Rockets defense was brilliant. So everyone deserves credit.

661
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 6: They were great, but I think a lot of it

662
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 6: starts with just the way that Tucker sort of sets

663
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 6: that tone because he is basically they're only big, they're

664
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 6: only significant big, even though he calls himself a small Yeah.

665
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: Did you show worldwide the worldwide wib clorp of Tucker

666
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 4: defending Lebron in the post?

667
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: Yes?

668
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 4: On that, like call him a cinderblocker at a yah ah.

669
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

670
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: He couldn't move him.

671
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 6: He couldn't move you know, So that to me, like Tucker,

672
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 6: you know, again, he's thirty five, he has had some

673
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 6: injuries in the past. They've got to keep him on

674
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 6: the floor, you know. And the amount of minutes and

675
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 6: the physicality that he's playing with could catch up with

676
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 6: him at some point, but overall it's not just him.

677
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 6: That Rocket's defense intensity was fantastic yesterday, and can they

678
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: keep it up, because what I think this will be

679
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: a long series and they've shown signs of it. Certainly

680
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 6: against the Thunder they did at the times, but we

681
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 6: also saw at times it wasn't quite as intense, and

682
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 6: that's going to be important for Houston in this series

683
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 6: because we know the Lakers are going to bounce back.

684
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

685
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: No, they were deflecting passes and ground and loose balls

686
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 4: and like Tass said, seventeen turnovers from the Lakers, some

687
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: of their own fault, I think sloppy passing and stuff

688
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: like that. A lot of them live ball. But yeah,

689
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: twenty seven points soft turnovers, that's huge. Lebron talked about

690
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: it though, Trey, I mean, you said Ron likes to

691
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: use these game ones. Is these weird Feilo games And

692
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 4: he even said we got to feel for their speed.

693
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: That's a Lebron quote and it probably was a little

694
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: shocking to some extent.

695
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: He called them the greatest show on turf. He called

696
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: them the La Rams from the early two.

697
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 5: Thousands fall anyway deep on the references too. He brought

698
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 5: out oz Hakim like you can bring out Tory Holt,

699
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 5: No big deal, Marshall, Fuck, that's easy, but when you're

700
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 5: reaching for Ozakim, it's a serious I was impressed, but

701
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 5: it was the perfect Game one Storm. For whatever reason,

702
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 5: Lebron loves the feel out game, and I have to

703
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 5: imagine that the Rockets and the James harden Era I

704
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 5: have won one hundred percent of their Game ones. They're

705
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 5: almost the inverse raptors, just because the Rockets really make

706
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 5: you play their game. They're so different than any other

707
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 5: team in the league that in Game one, like Lebron saying,

708
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 5: you can't simulate the speed, you can't simulate guys switching

709
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 5: all the time because the Rockets do it for an

710
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 5: entire season. So then you're suddenly playing another football reference

711
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: that Karan Butler made. The Rockets established the run, they're

712
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 5: playing slow. Suddenly you're playing Rockets ball. It happened in

713
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 5: the Thunder series as well, where you just get involved

714
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: in all these I soos.

715
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 4: You're like, yeah, yeah, PJ.

716
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 5: Tucker is short, I'm Lebron, I'm gonna run them over,

717
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 5: but suddenly you're shooting a reverse not even looking at

718
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 5: the rim instead of actually getting some.

719
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: Sort of good right.

720
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 5: We've talked a lot of times that the way to

721
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 5: beat the Rockets is move the ball. Just keep it moving,

722
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 5: keep it moving. They got to stay on a string.

723
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 5: They're good when you can load up on them and

724
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: everybody knows exactly where they need to be. But if

725
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 5: the ball keeps pinging around, it's gonna be a little

726
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 5: bit tougher for Houston. So I was not surprised to

727
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 5: see Lebron chilling in Game one. I was not surprised

728
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 5: to see the Rockets play Rockets basketball in game one,

729
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: and James Harden is great in game ones as well.

730
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 5: That's why to me, game two it's already pivotal. If

731
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 5: we see this again from Houston, then we can think

732
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 5: the LA's in trouble. But things went poorly for the Lakers,

733
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 5: no doubt about it.

734
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: But it's kind of a little bit on them as well.

735
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 5: I just feel like they don't really care to win

736
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 5: that Game one, And maybe that's why Lebron James has

737
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 5: gone to so many more Game sevens.

738
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: Than Michael Jordan.

739
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 5: I don't remember Michael Jordan Ever having a feel out

740
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 5: game in the playoffs.

741
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

742
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

743
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 4: Interesting? Yeah, well, I mean, look, Houston has matched up

744
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 4: well right versus the Lakers all season long. They've played

745
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: great defense, lead best defense in the league right now

746
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: in the playoffs for the Ruckets one point four points

747
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: per one hundred possessions. That's damn good, a lot better

748
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: than they did in the regular season. Yeah, and you

749
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: guys said it like Harden efficient thirty six. That's the

750
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 4: big thing. Thirty six for James Harden. I mean he

751
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 4: can do it in his sleep efficiently though. Westbrook awesome

752
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 4: attacking twenty four points, nine boards, six of six, that's

753
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 4: six assists. That's perfect from him. And then Eric Gordon,

754
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you you want to talk about Tucker getting

755
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: a lot of like the credit. Defensively, Eric Gordon has

756
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 4: been damn good both. You know, obviously he's gonna give

757
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 4: you the points, he's gonna hit some threes, But defensively

758
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: that guy has been like he was locked in at

759
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 4: times on Chris Paul in that list last series. He

760
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: did some decent job on Lebron even in Game one.

761
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 4: He's given it as all. So yeah, yeah, the question

762
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 4: is just like, yeah, how will Lebron the Lakers come

763
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: at them a little differently now that they got to

764
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 4: feel for their speed. But just can the Rockets sustain

765
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 4: this three more times to get victories? And I'm talking

766
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: about this being their defense, like the effort that they

767
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: have to put up there, And you're right, the Lakers

768
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 4: bail them out if they just sort of like Iso

769
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 4: or you know, live with a three Like you're right,

770
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: tray Man, you gotta just keep zip it around and

771
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 4: then keep just driving drive in, drive in, drive in,

772
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 4: and that will tire them out and maybe it will again.

773
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 4: But a great game from the Rockets was fun. I'm

774
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 4: glad they won this game. It makes it like sort

775
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 4: of makes it like a series immediately, right.

776
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: Sure, I think Rondo was a little bit of sticky hands,

777
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: There's no doubt because that's how Rondo plays. I think

778
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: Lebron won't let that happen again if it comes to

779
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter. He's just not gonna let you can

780
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: go if you're on the floor, you know, I'm sure

781
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: he'll talk to Frank Vogel and they'll decide if Rondo

782
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: how many minutes Toronto's gonna play. But if Frank Vogel

783
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: plays him. Lebron's got to take it out of his

784
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: hands a little bit because it was a little too sticky.

785
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: They have to zip it because that's where they are

786
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: their best. But even if they do get down in

787
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: the post, like Lebron, you know, he was moving the

788
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: cinderblock a little bit, but he just decides to flick

789
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: it over his shoulder instead of turning around and shooting

790
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: over the guy who's shorter than him. I mean that's

791
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't get some of their decisions there.

792
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: I think I think Ad he falls in line with

793
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: what Lebron does, and Lebron is a game one feeler,

794
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But at the same time, and so

795
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: we didn't get the best AD. Even though you know

796
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: he's skilled enough to pour in that many points on

797
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: any game like that, he's still ten for sixteen, which

798
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: is nuts to say he didn't have a good game,

799
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: but he was, you know, twenty five and fourteen. It

800
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: still didn't feel like he didn't. He didn't dominate because

801
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: he could dominate this this type of team. And so, yeah,

802
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: they didn't get that they had ninety seven points on

803
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: the night that they had ninety three against Portland in

804
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: their first game. I think they will be better, but

805
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: we can. We can give all the credit to the

806
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: Rockets because yeah, Harden game one, master game two. Yeah,

807
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: it'll slow down a little bit, but yeah, we have

808
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: we have. I'm not going to get back into the

809
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: Schumann stats, but yeah, we're we're we're in line here

810
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 1: for a series and that's really really exciting.

811
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, run run run THI though the Rockets are happy

812
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 6: to just leave him alone because he I can play

813
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: those minutes of Runda's playing out there, because he sort

814
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 6: of just standing around trying to wait for someone to

815
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 6: pass without creating. He needs to be more aggressive than

816
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 6: he was last night, and the Rucks like, we'll live

817
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 6: with you with the ball in your hands. That's fine

818
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 6: with us. So and Lakers Lakers Twitter was turning on

819
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: Rondo last night.

820
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: So it doesn't take long. Oh no, that pass he

821
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: put off the backboard, the inbound pass, Yeah, that was

822
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: that was that was rough. Like this isn't the nineteen

823
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: eighties where he has to dribble to create. You know,

824
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: he gets those assists because he's a one pass man,

825
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: because he's going to hold it for fifteen seconds yeah,

826
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: and so that's the promence. Yeah, that is a problem

827
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: for sure.

828
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, because he either dribbles dribbles, dribbles dribbles and then

829
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 6: gives someone to pass late in the shot clock, or

830
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 6: he pulls up and stops and then he won't shoot it.

831
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 6: So the Rockets are like, well, we will let you

832
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 6: shoot it, man, that shocks there, and he won't do it.

833
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 4: So, I mean, Vogel needs to look if you see

834
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: if you start to see this again from Rondo in

835
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: game two, like you were saying, like the ball sticking

836
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: and him not looking great because he's rusty or whatever,

837
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 4: because he's also old. At this point, Vogel has to

838
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 4: pull him because he's not giving you anything. He doesn't

839
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 4: really give you anything to offensively anymore. I know. The

840
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 4: I know we hold on to that idea of Ron

841
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 4: will be in a lockdown defender. That's long gone, guys.

842
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 4: So we'll see what Mougho does. But the key to

843
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 4: the series, I said was every Laker player not named

844
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 4: Lebron or Anthony, worry about them. Those guys are going

845
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 4: to get theirs, and they sort of did, but everybody

846
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 4: else shot a combined like thirty four percent. You know,

847
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: and that was even with Caruso hitting a couple threes.

848
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 4: The ball dirt. So that's the game plan if I'm

849
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 4: the rocket. Still, that's fine. Lebron's gonna get the thirty five. Eight,

850
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna get the thirty five. Just shut everybody

851
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 4: else down. And again, like Kyle Kuzma, was his name

852
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 4: mentioned in the broadcast.

853
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: When he got pissed, when he got pissed and he

854
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: got taken off.

855
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was mad. It was a pretty quiet

856
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 4: Kuzma game. You know, pretty quiet Danny Green game, Karl Kuzma.

857
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, people are calling for Dion Waiders skeets and that's

858
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: a scary situation to be in when you're like, we

859
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 5: need Dion Waiters to step up here. I don't think

860
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 5: it's that drastic at this point. Waiters will probably help,

861
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 5: but uh, if you're counting on Waiters to be the

862
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 5: guy that takes See It to a title, yikes.

863
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 3: Mode.

864
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did have a poster dunk in this before

865
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 4: it moved on. I mean Lebront put Westbrook on the

866
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 4: poster there. Then he had the huge block on Westbrook too,

867
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 4: where I thought Westbrook was going to punch it on him.

868
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 4: But then that was the one where Lebron went the

869
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 4: other way and barreled through Covington and got the foul,

870
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: and he nearly punched the referee in the face when

871
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 4: he did his double flex. Did you see that when

872
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 4: he threw the he threw the lee ls Mo Pete

873
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 4: Suresey guns up. He nearly punched the ref in that face.

874
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy for the Rockets to

875
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 4: get this victory. They looked awesome, all three of their

876
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: main guys, like I said, in Harden Westbrook and Eric

877
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 4: Gordon contributing offensively and then just defensively. Everybody was on

878
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 4: a string again in that game. So it'll be an

879
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: interesting game too. Anything else to add, gentlemen, I'll ask

880
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 4: that classic.

881
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 6: Question, no, I bet.

882
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 4: I will say, all right, we got some news still

883
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 4: to tackle here on today's no dunks, but first a

884
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: quick break to pay the bills.

885
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 5: This is gonna sound sick, but literally, the first thing

886
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 5: I thought about this morning was doing in manscaped ad read,

887
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 5: dying in bed, my eyes still closed thinking about manscaped hard,

888
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 5: going to sleep even last night, knowing that Clippers Nuggets

889
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 5: was a reality. Gebal Furry versus Landry shave it montres

890
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 5: no harrel versus shave some plumb lays. The Manscaped Mega

891
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 5: bowl is here. Who but La is well rested and

892
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 5: very good, so clippers nuggets may be cut short. And

893
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 5: if you're looking to clip your nugs short, let me

894
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 5: tell you a little bit about the Lawnmower three point

895
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 5: zero cordless body trimmer with its ceramic blade and skin

896
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 5: safe technology. The Lawnmower three point zero acts like a

897
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 5: PJ bulldozer to make you less Harry Garris, and don't

898
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 5: forget your ball balls. When you order the Perfect Package

899
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: three point zero, not only do you get the lawnmower

900
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 5: three point zero, you also get the crop preserver and

901
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 5: prop reviver. Give the boys a little Pat Patterson and

902
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 5: you're fresh all day. Plus you get some performance boxer

903
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 5: briefs and you know it apple bag to use when

904
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 5: your team is sent home from the bubble butt. Manscaped

905
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 5: does more than just nuggets. They legitimately just release some clippers.

906
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 5: The Shears two point zero is a luxury four piece

907
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 5: nail kit and it's the perfect add on to the

908
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 5: perfect package. You get slashed tipped wheezers, rounded point scissors,

00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: Okay, some news. For the third consecutive year, the Clippers

919
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 4: have the league's top benchman. Clippers power forward Mantos Herald

925
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 4: I assumed to you, who were you know, you were

926
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 4: definitely thinking Shruder was going to maybe take this award.

927
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a surprise, but not a surprise. At the

928
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 6: same time, Montrez has been really, really good and he

929
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 6: was certainly in contention for this award, but I thought

930
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 6: Shruder was going to do it. And I think the

931
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 6: voting though, was fairly close. I mean it was the

932
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 6: really those first place votes that's got it for Trez.

933
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 6: He got fifty eight to only thirty five there for Dennis.

934
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean, no complaints at all. He comes

935
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 6: out there, and Doc Rivers talked about it. He really

936
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 6: understands what his role is on that team. Come out,

937
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 6: give them energy, hustle you're going to get points at

938
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 6: the other end, but play defense, play your role, set

939
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 6: some screens, and he brings the energy. So a deserving

940
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 6: winner for sure. And you know, no complaints that Dennis

941
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 6: didn't win it, because I just think Tres he's been great.

942
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 6: And you know the speech afterwards, because he left the

943
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 6: bubble to be with his grandma, who sadly passed away,

944
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 6: and prior to the season, his grandma said to him,

945
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 6: according to the report, that he was like, this is

946
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 6: your season, and so he was very very emotional that

947
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 6: he wasn't able to sort of finish off their conversation

948
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 6: from the season and show her the award there, but

949
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 6: you know, very very special for him. And also then

950
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 6: the photo. He had his shoes there with Breonna Taylor

951
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 6: as well. So really really well done job there from

952
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 6: Montrez by getting the award and then you know, expressing

953
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 6: what it meant to him and using that to further

954
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 6: his platform as well. So very very good day for him,

955
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 6: and congratulations to the Clippers once again taking home this award.

956
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it dominated this. We got all the six men.

957
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: Of course, Lou Williams have had Jamal Crawford and stuff

958
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 4: like that. Statmus had the tweet too. Trez is the

959
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 4: first player to average eighteen and seven on fifty percent

960
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: shooting off of the bench in minimum fifty games since.

961
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 6: Come on, Leleen, and then seven eighteen rebounds.

962
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 4: Tough one.

963
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: You love this guy though.

964
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 4: I think I heard you talk on the podcast with

965
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 4: Geezy and Copeland about this guy. One of your favorites

966
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 4: to be around, A LEGENDWN Celtics legend. Oh no, Kevin

967
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 4: McKay correcting being Kevin mckill in eighty nine to ninety

968
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 4: for Tres the first guy off the bench eighteen and

969
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: seven on fifty percent shooting in the minimum number of

970
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 4: games that are fifty games. Yeah, congratulations. Anything to add

971
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 4: to that guy, I can't see if you guys have

972
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,479
Speaker 4: much to add to that.

973
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 5: I'll just say I love it because this is literal

974
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 5: mister big news. A big guy winning six Man of

975
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 5: the Year. It never happens. The most recent would be

976
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 5: lamar Odom, but he's more of a tall guy than

977
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 5: a big guy playing out on the perimeter. You kind

978
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 5: of got to go back to Antoine Jamison circa three

979
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 5: to zero four for the last big guy to win this.

980
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 5: So yeah, certainly mister big News. And I do love

981
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 5: that he is a partner of Lou Williams because it's

982
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 5: kind of like still voting for Lou Williams. Right, You're like,

983
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 5: either Lou or Montrez could win this. Lo's won it

984
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 5: so many times, including the past two. We got to

985
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 5: get it to a different clipper, So shout out to Montrez,

986
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 5: Harrold bring it home for the big guys.

987
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.

988
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: And I like that Lou Williams presented him the award.

989
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: That was really neat how he came out and handed

990
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: it to him. Obviously, Lee talked about everything else, all

991
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: the other little details that they put into the presentation,

992
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: the acceptance of the award, and that just furthers my

993
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: belief that we don't need an NBA Award show whatsoever.

994
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: Just have these setups individually. These teams know what means

995
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: most to the player. And you know, whether we saw,

996
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: for instance, Nick Nurse have his old high school coach

997
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: calm and have that conversation, it can mean more than

998
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,479
Speaker 1: getting up on a stage and speaking to a bunch

999
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: of people who are having their free drinks. So let's

1000
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: take that out of the game. That's changed the NBA workplace,

1001
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: That's changed the NBA, the NBA future. I think you know,

1002
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: it was a fun little experiment, the NBA Awards Show,

1003
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: But yeah.

1004
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 4: It didn't really knock it out of the park for

1005
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 4: being honest. It was fine. I mean, look, they sell

1006
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 4: some ads on it. I'm sure make some money recoups

1007
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: on there. But I'm with you, like I'm trying to

1008
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 4: even think, like, what's been the most NBA Awards Show moment?

1009
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 6: Bill Russell giving the thing at the child's Bodley.

1010
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 4: That was good?

1011
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great. That was good.

1012
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 4: That's a good one.

1013
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeaig speech. You know, there's there's been a couple, but

1014
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: you can replicate those and even put some more of

1015
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: the little little details into it. Like nurses coach calling them,

1016
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: lou will come in there. You know, there's there's lots

1017
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: you can do.

1018
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're actually the best part about these is

1019
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 4: like they're also spread out, right, these award presentations like

1020
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 4: every couple of days or whatever, So it's like a

1021
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 4: ten to fifteen minute thing instead of a three hour

1022
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: award show, which you know a lot of people are

1023
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 4: going to tune out in the summer at that when

1024
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 4: the season's over and people are sort of already checked out.

1025
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, I agree with you.

1026
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to the kids. We all have add we

1027
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: can't watch two hours, No, we can watch three minute

1028
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: clips max.

1029
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. All right, we got some final news here.

1030
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 4: This is interesting. Nuggets coach Michael Malone went after the

1031
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 4: NBA on Friday, calling their policy of not allowing coaches

1032
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 4: to bring family into the bubble quote criminal in So,

1033
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 4: you're speaking to reporters ahead of Game two, and Malone

1034
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 4: answered a different question about the bubble by saying he

1035
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 4: needed to get something off of his chest. So let's

1036
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 4: play the clip.

1037
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 3: This is day number sixty.

1038
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 8: And the reason I bring that up is because the

1039
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 8: players have their families here, which they deserve.

1040
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: Which is the right thing to do.

1041
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 8: The referees are allowed to being one guest, which is

1042
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 8: great for the referees, the coaches, the coaches are not

1043
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 8: allowed to bring anybody.

1044
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: I say, shame on you, NBA. This is crazy.

1045
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 8: I missed my family, and I think I speak for me,

1046
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 8: I speak for my coaches and probably all the coaches

1047
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 8: down here. Sixty days and not having access and not

1048
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 8: being granted the privilege to have my family come here

1049
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 8: to me is criminal in nature and that shouldn't be

1050
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 8: shouldn't be at all.

1051
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 3: So I wanted to get that off my chest.

1052
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 4: So a Nuggets coach, Mike Malone very upset there. I

1053
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 4: know some other coaches sort of you know, had his

1054
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 4: back with these comments. TASKWAYA, what do you think is

1055
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: Malone overreacting? Is as fair? What's your opinion?

1056
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, let's just clear the scenario here, just to make

1057
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: sure everybody's got it straight. The players didn't have their

1058
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: families until this round either, so they went, you know,

1059
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty five sixty days without seeing their families either.

1060
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: And thinking back, it's kind of surprising that they didn't

1061
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: demand that from the beginning, or at least a lot earlier. Right,

1062
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: So there's twenty two teams that came down there, now

1063
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: there's only eight. Fourteen of the teams didn't see their

1064
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: families whatsoever. But now to Michael Malone's part of it,

1065
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: because it is surprising that the players are allowed. So

1066
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: about fifteen of the thirty five people that come with

1067
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: each organization, the fifteen players get their families to come

1068
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: with them, but the other twenty don't. And that's surprising.

1069
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: It really is surprising that I didn't know the referee

1070
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: rule that the refereces didn't have.

1071
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 4: Wow, I didn't know that at all.

1072
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure when that took place, if that

1073
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: was from the beginning or what. But it would make

1074
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: sense for the coaches to have somebody, a significant other.

1075
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: Possibly there are probably they're older as well, most of

1076
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: these coaches, so a lot of them probably don't have

1077
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: little kids that would want to be down the bubble,

1078
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: but a significant other would make sense. And I'm just

1079
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: surprised looking back, you know, we didn't go We talked

1080
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: about the one hundred and thirty five page manual over

1081
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: and over and over again in the months of April

1082
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: and May and June while this was happening, and all

1083
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: the rules, and you know, we weren't really up in

1084
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: arms about it because we know it's a player's league

1085
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: and they get you know, first crack at everything. But

1086
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: looking back, yeah, Woul, it would be it makes sense

1087
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: not just for the coaches and all the party to

1088
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: have somebody there, but the players as well. From the beginning,

1089
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not going to get Nickel and Dime

1090
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: here and think, Wow, this hotel room is going to

1091
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: cost this much. I know it's costing the NBA a lot,

1092
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: but they can afford to put it up or even

1093
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: and I say an older these these coaches are older.

1094
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: It may not even cost them another hotel room. They

1095
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: could just be in the same hotel room. Now I'm

1096
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: Nickel and Dimond, Yeah, it would make sense to have

1097
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: their families there, at least, you know, one or two people.

1098
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: They don't have to have a cousin Joe and cousin Bill,

1099
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: come on, but like at least their their their nuclear

1100
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: core family. That would that would make sense. So I'm

1101
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: with I echo, I echo coach Michael Malone and uh,

1102
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: it's a long couple of months, but they probably should

1103
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: have had it for the whole time and not even now.

1104
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 4: Well, no, no, you can't say I don't think we

1105
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 4: can say that everybody should have had it from the whole,

1106
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 4: like from the jump, from the start, because let's try

1107
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 4: and remember like months ago, how and saying like this

1108
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 4: idea even was and whether it was even going to work.

1109
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 4: And we were pretty convinced the more people you try

1110
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 4: to add into the bubble, the less likely it is

1111
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 4: going to be successful. So that made sense, like, I'm sorry,

1112
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 4: guys like you are going to be away from your families,

1113
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 4: you know, players included. I think where the frustration is

1114
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 4: coming from with the coaches, and I think sort of

1115
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 4: rightfully is it sounded like the NBA at the time

1116
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 4: when they're making the manual, they're going through all the

1117
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 4: logistics and saying, okay, well the players, like you know,

1118
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 4: if they're here, come the playoffs, then they can bring

1119
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 4: people down.

1120
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: Coaches, we don't.

1121
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 4: Want to lock that in right now because we're not

1122
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 4: even convinced this whole experiment' is gonna work, this whole

1123
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 4: campus thing is gonna work, but we will revisit it.

1124
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 4: That's what it sounded like they sort of said to them.

1125
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 4: They didn't say, no, you're never seeing your family again,

1126
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 4: all right, if you want to coach coming down here

1127
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 4: and your coaching, it sounded like, yeah, that might be

1128
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 4: a possibility. We'll put that on the side burner and

1129
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 4: then we'll know revisit that. And now we're at the

1130
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 4: point to revisiting it and they have decided that they're

1131
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 4: not going to do it, and it's sort of probably

1132
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 4: you're a coach down there, going, look, this is working,

1133
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 4: this is this is safe. You know, why can't we

1134
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 4: now the coaches that remain here with now opening up

1135
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 4: of rooms and stuff like that, Like, I think that

1136
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 4: make that's a fair like frustration if I was a coach,

1137
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 4: because that's sort of my read on this. What do

1138
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 4: you think, Trey, Yeah, I think you're exactly right.

1139
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 5: There wasn't anything in that first document about coaches coming,

1140
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 5: but they did say like, we'll try and figure it out.

1141
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 5: We'll try and figure it out for referees as well.

1142
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 5: And I'm a little unsure what's going on with the referees.

1143
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 5: Do they really have one guest because the league said

1144
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 5: nobody has guests except for players.

1145
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Apparently there's a woad statement here

1146
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: that there are no guests for referees. So what is

1147
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: Malone saying he's wrong? I guess you know, according to

1148
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: woes here, no other team or league staff, including coaches

1149
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 1: and referees, has guests on campus.

1150
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 5: Okay, well that makes more sense then, right, that definitely

1151
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 5: makes more sense. And the players, I do think, should

1152
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 5: get their have their families be there. But like you

1153
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 5: guys are saying, it's not a huge stretch to be

1154
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 5: able to bring one other person to a coach's room, right, Like,

1155
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 5: if it happens to be Mike Malone's wife, I think

1156
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 5: she would be fine sharing a room with Mike Malone.

1157
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 5: It's not going to cost them anymore to throw somebody

1158
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 5: else in there in the bed. They probably already have

1159
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 5: one king bed. They don't even need two doubles. They'll

1160
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 5: figure something out. But two months, that's a long time,

1161
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 5: skeets JD. You guys were gone for a month. JD,

1162
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 5: you were gone for two months. Would you have liked

1163
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 5: to have had one family member there?

1164
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 7: I would have loved it. Hey, Malone's Harney, Let's just

1165
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 7: let's just tell it what it is. Sixty days and then,

1166
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 7: you know, joking aside, he's seeing all the players get

1167
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 7: their families in I mean, I mean at the beginning

1168
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 7: of it, you're probably like, Okay, I can do this,

1169
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 7: I can do this. But then you see all these

1170
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 7: families being reunited and you're like, oh the hell, man,

1171
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 7: why why wouldn't I have my family here? It's it

1172
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 7: makes perfect sense to me.

1173
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, And just like a reminder for some people out there,

1174
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 4: it's not just the head coaches though, right, I mean

1175
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 4: we think like, oh yeah, Malone and Spolstra and like,

1176
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 4: there's a lot of coaches on these teams. I know

1177
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 4: it's it's been reduced to keep the party smaller. But

1178
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 4: I guess if you get I mean, I can't assume

1179
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 4: you just say, well, you're the head coach, so you

1180
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 4: get your significant other. It would have to be for

1181
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 4: all of them.

1182
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, all the support stuff on them on the same

1183
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 6: because because again if you if you give it to

1184
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 6: the coaches, then the assistant coaches, then the train of

1185
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 6: athletic TRAINA is like, so I don't get my wife

1186
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 6: to come, you know, and I think more than just one,

1187
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 6: guess it should be immediate family because again, if you've

1188
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 6: got young kids, you can't. I would want to say

1189
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 6: just the wife can come and the kids can go

1190
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 6: on stay with grandpa and grandpa or something like that.

1191
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 6: So I bring them all in because it's from the

1192
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 6: mental health side of it as well, I think, and

1193
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 6: the emotional health. You know, you like, if you've got

1194
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 6: kids or wife, whoever it is, you just want to

1195
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 6: hold that person and go back to the hotel room

1196
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 6: and have them there at night. And after again, after

1197
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 6: sixty days and seeing other people having that experience, it

1198
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 6: must be it must be awful for Michael Malone, really,

1199
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 6: so I.

1200
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 4: Feel for it.

1201
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 6: I feel for him, but I also understand the league's

1202
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 6: sort of point. But at the same time, you know,

1203
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 6: again we're down to way fewer than the amount of

1204
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 6: teams that went down there originally, so I think it's

1205
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 6: okay to bring in direct immediate family for everyone who's

1206
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 6: been in the bubble from day one.

1207
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 4: Right right again, I think the whole shame on you, MBA.

1208
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm reading into it, but it really feels like

1209
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 4: you said this was maybe going to be a possibility,

1210
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 4: and now we've gotten to that day and now you're

1211
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 4: still saying no. And why it doesn't really make a

1212
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 4: lot of sense to me is why he's maybe so

1213
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: pissed off because like, look, he didn't he didn't hold

1214
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 4: back there right like it was calling out the league.

1215
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 4: I mean he's saying this criminal in nature, like again

1216
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 4: maybe even going a little too far. Yeah, a little extreme.

1217
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 4: And you got a nice hotel there. You know, you

1218
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 4: got your meals paid for and all that. And but

1219
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 4: again if from the jump from day one, they said coaches, look, listen,

1220
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 4: you're not getting anybody coming down. Players are eventually and

1221
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 4: you're not, so make the decision if you want to

1222
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 4: go right like you're just not gonna have your wife

1223
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 4: coming or your significant other coming, family coming. Then then

1224
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 4: it's a little like okay, now that's up to me.

1225
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 4: That's my decision. But again it's like this, yeah, that

1226
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 4: might happen, so you know you're still there. You'll probably

1227
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 4: get somebody down there. So I don't know, it sucks

1228
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 4: and maybe they'll figure this out. But maybe the NBA

1229
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 4: is like, look, we've gotten to this point. Why risk it.

1230
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 4: We're so close we can sort of see the finish line. Hey, Malone,

1231
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 4: you're gonna lose the next couple of games here anyway,

1232
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna be out of here in a week. That'd

1233
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 4: be such an awesome response from Silver, You're at.

1234
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 5: A statement, Sai. You'll see your family in a week. Mate,

1235
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 5: You're gonna lose Mike. You'll be out of here in

1236
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 5: a second. Well, it's it from you, guys. That's an

1237
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 5: interesting one. Let us know through Twitter at no dumb

1238
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 5: Sanka in the YouTube comments there.

1239
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to tweet of the night tweet

1240
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: over night, Wow, Twitter, Leary, what do you got me?

1241
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 6: Well, you know, guys, I think I've shown restraint so

1242
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 6: far by not just going for the low hanging fruit. Oh,

1243
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 6: don't do it, and don't Magic Johnson tweets for the

1244
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 6: tweet of the night. But I caved after last night

1245
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 6: because Magic went on an epic run and he had

1246
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 6: a few. But I'm only going from one game. It

1247
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 6: was after the Bucks and Heat game when Magic this

1248
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 6: is his first one, Jimmy Buckets. Butler made every play

1249
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 6: for the Miami Heat in the fourth quarter, whether he

1250
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 6: scored or made an assist to his teammate. Magic wasn't

1251
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 6: done there though. Gimme Butler, scoring thirty points took over

1252
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 6: the game. He was involved in it replay in the

1253
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 6: fourth leading them for one hundred and fifteen. One hundred

1254
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 6: victory A couple more couple of more. No, the Milwaukee

1255
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 6: Bucks didn't play smart basketball and showed a lack of

1256
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 6: mental toughness in the fourth quarter.

1257
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 4: This sounds like no ducks here for the first twenty minutes.

1258
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 6: Maybe that was all right now, those ones, those first

1259
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 6: three tweets came in pretty quick succession. But then about

1260
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 6: an hour and a half later, he came back with

1261
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 6: this one. Oh Jimmy Butler scored seventeen points in the

1262
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, while the entire Bucks team scored thirteen.

1263
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 4: Head explosion emoji.

1264
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 6: Magic using an emoji out there, so he used your

1265
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 6: gift the other a rake one. Yeah, so you enter.

1266
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 6: He basically did the same thing for the Rockets and

1267
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 6: Lakers game. But I saved you guys from that. I

1268
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 6: just went on the on the one game there. But

1269
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 6: ah Man, magic is just you know, when you think

1270
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 6: about the image of what magic was before social media,

1271
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 6: cool guys, superstar player had at all and Twitter is

1272
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 6: just like oh man had the replies. It just golled

1273
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 6: after our magic, just like, thanks magic, thanks for fiddling

1274
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 6: us in there.

1275
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 4: It's not him, though, this has lost this has lost

1276
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:10,720
Speaker 4: its magic.

1277
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 6: I think it's not him.

1278
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 4: I'm not even convinced he's even like telling someone to

1279
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 4: do this. Now, it's an entire bit slash brand that

1280
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 4: someone is just running with, but it doesn't work.

1281
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 6: Disagree, I disagree, Pure Magic. That's why you can't.

1282
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 3: No one can.

1283
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 6: No one can make that one. That stuff it's so good.

1284
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 4: Yes, no one can pull those exact things from the

1285
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 4: associated press release that just came up from the game.

1286
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 4: All right, nailing it in Herecker, all right, congrats. Let's

1287
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 4: get to the games of today. Raptors back in business,

1288
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 4: huge game four tasks and of course another one as well,

1289
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 4: Nuggets Clippers.

1290
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: Let me just add I think it was Josiah Johnson

1291
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: who tweeted if we remember Magic's press conference where he

1292
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: left the Lakers somebody. I think it was just like Johnson.

1293
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: The caption was, Yannis, so you're gonna be in the

1294
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: conference finals and it's Magic. Oh yeah, I gotta be

1295
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: able to get there. Good stuff, good stuff tonight. Yeah.

1296
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: Two games. Let's start with the nightcap briefly here, nine

1297
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern on TNT. Denver Clippers Game two. What do

1298
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: you guys see for Denver? How are they going to

1299
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: change it up to get back on the board here

1300
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: against the dominant, dominant Clippers. You think this is over?

1301
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: Do you think Michael Malone has only three more games

1302
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: in the bubble? Trey start us off.

1303
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 5: I gotta have a little faith in the Nuggets to

1304
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 5: at least make it interesting. I mean, you could make

1305
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 5: an argument that they did the best job on Kawhi

1306
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 5: Leonards so far in the bubble, breaking his thirty point

1307
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 5: streak by getting blown out, so he ended with twenty nine.

1308
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 5: But I don't know, man. The problem is, Kawhi is

1309
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 5: the best player in the world, and they don't have

1310
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 5: anybody to get guards, and they gotta be able to

1311
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 5: outscore the Clippers. Meanwhile, the Clippers are very good defensively,

1312
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 5: and they're gonna be playing a little bit even more tense.

1313
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 5: I would imagine getting that fifth and seven years six

1314
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 5: Man of the Year trophy. They don't want Montrez Harold

1315
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 5: to look like a fool. They're gonna try and get

1316
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 5: another win here. But let's see, Yo Kitchen Murray, go off.

1317
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 5: That's the big thing, Yo Kitchen Murray. They gotta be

1318
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 5: great skeets.

1319
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1320
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, I think they got to feed

1321
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 4: feed feed the joker and he's gonna have a monster

1322
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 4: game when he's done it before in the playoffs. But

1323
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 4: I'll say it's a closer game, but I'll still have

1324
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 4: the Clippers winning this by eight or nine, ten points

1325
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 4: in the end. I don't know what the line is

1326
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 4: for this game, but they're just too much, man, They're

1327
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 4: too much. And you know I mean, and we keep

1328
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 4: saying it like Paul George is gonna have like a

1329
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 4: thirty point night in him here. He will, He'll hit

1330
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 4: five or six threes. It'll happen. He did it in

1331
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 4: the first round two in at least one of those games.

1332
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 4: So Clips by, you know, a closer game, a closer game,

1333
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 4: not a blowout by you know, the second or third quarter.

1334
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 4: But Clips pull it out still in the end by nine.

1335
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 4: That's what I'll go with.

1336
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: And that's what the line is. Look at it, Niner Lee,

1337
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: what do you think?

1338
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not good. Not a lot of fight there

1339
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 6: and the Nuggets being able to even keep this one close.

1340
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 6: If that's what the betters are saying, if that's where

1341
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 6: the money's going, they need everything to just be so

1342
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 6: so perfect for the Nuggets. Really do even stay in

1343
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 6: this one, because you know, Jimmy Butler as great as

1344
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 6: he's been. Kawhi Leonard's kind of like serious Jimmy Butler,

1345
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 6: but you know he's just ups the ante from the

1346
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 6: start as well. Like that second quarter against Nuggas the

1347
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 6: other night, Jim Jimmy Kawhi was just so intense, And

1348
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 6: you know that's the thing with Kawhi, He's like, I

1349
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 6: want to end this series as quick as I can

1350
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 6: to get ready for the next series and be fresh

1351
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 6: and plays a fewer minutes and a few games as

1352
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 6: possible so that he's not exhausting himself. So I don't

1353
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 6: feel great for the Nuggets. I think that I think

1354
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 6: the clip is are two mil up after this one

1355
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 6: and five at max. I think this series.

1356
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 4: So what do you got tasks? What do you say tonight?

1357
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, I think Jamal Murray's going to have the

1358
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: ball in his hands a lot more because when he

1359
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: was working off the ball, those four guys, they have

1360
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: four guys literally, you know, they say, hey, zubatesco guard

1361
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Yokic us four on the perimeter, we'll take him. So

1362
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: I think Jamal and a pick and roll with Yokiic

1363
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of forces them both to get involved at number

1364
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: one four versus Jokic to wake up right from the

1365
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 1: get go, and it forces just two guys to be

1366
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: on those dudes, So I think that'll help. I don't know.

1367
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: They seem gas too, Like Jamal Murray coming out of

1368
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that that seven game series, interviewed right after I was

1369
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: told that it was Thursday, he only had one day off,

1370
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: said what I thought we were playing on Friday, So

1371
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: he's probably fresher. Geez, they are going to give up.

1372
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 1: The Clippers are going to give up one game. I'm

1373
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: just not.

1374
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 4: I'm with you on that still too. It's just what game?

1375
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:33,919
Speaker 4: What game are they going to pick?

1376
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with Tres should be better and Tress still

1377
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: isn't himself quite yet, like he's playing to there. There's

1378
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: still that was last game was the first time they

1379
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: had the Clippers had all of their guys. So game

1380
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: two they could be even better. And let's get to

1381
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: the first game briefly. Six thirty Eastern Raps and Celtics

1382
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: two one Celtics. The question is what time are you

1383
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: starting to stand?

1384
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 4: Well, you know that's a great question, actually, task because

1385
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 4: I have found with some of these start times we've

1386
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 4: been getting over the last couple of weeks they're hit

1387
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 4: or miss if they're actually starting around six thirty or

1388
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 4: suddenly they started like six forty five, like last night.

1389
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 4: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I felt like that

1390
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 4: one started almost around six thirty, Like it was a

1391
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 4: pretty quick, like let's get to the jump ball. It

1392
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 4: fell quicker than some of the other ones. I don't know,

1393
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm crazy, but I'll be standing, you know, right away,

1394
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 4: right the right from the jump of course, right from

1395
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 4: the tip ball. You know, social media will start kicking

1396
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 4: that off during the first time out there tasks you know,

1397
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to be doing it while I'm watching

1398
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 4: the game, but you know, we'll make sure Nora's taking

1399
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 4: the photo, and then we'll get the hashtag stand with

1400
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 4: skeets going, and we'll go from there.

1401
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: All right, all right, hopefully we all get into it.

1402
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: I think I think I'll get into it as well,

1403
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: especially because I saw you you tweet a photo and

1404
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: Brad Brad beats in here with a comment about it,

1405
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: stand with skeets and drink a vanilla coke? Yeah, you

1406
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: tweeted a photo of you drinking a vanilla coke. Well, yeah,

1407
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: and you ask do people drink vanilla cokes. Yeah, I was.

1408
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 4: I wasn't sure. I was happy with the response. A

1409
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 4: lot of people too, so like, I just want to

1410
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 4: make this clear. Yeah, I tweeted this out. I'm wandering

1411
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 4: around yesterday. Nora was getting her haircut, so I had

1412
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 4: like an hour to kill, so I'm just wandering around

1413
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 4: over right in the park. I actually saw Trey Kirby

1414
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 4: going to rip some lips. I drove by it. I'm

1415
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 4: gave him a little Hong Kong. But I'm walking. I'm thirsty,

1416
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 4: so I stopped at the store. I love a vanilla coke.

1417
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 4: Every once in a while I see it, but there's

1418
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 4: always a million vanilla cokes. Like I was like, I'm like,

1419
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 4: I'm convinced I'm the only person that buys us anymore.

1420
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 4: And you don't even see it half the time in

1421
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 4: some stores. So I was like, is it even gone

1422
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 4: or these old vanilla cokes? But uh yeah, a lot

1423
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:48,000

Speaker 4: it's great. It's a it's a tasty, tasty Coca Cola product.

1425
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 4: Every once in a while. I mean I'm talking like

1426
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 4: once every four months. I'm having one and it's good.

1427
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I might I might be going even deeper here. Every

1428
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,120

01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I've never well, I don't think i've

1435
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 6: ever drunk of vanilla coke before. I can't imagine it

1436
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 6: would be nice, because that's.

1437
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,479
Speaker 1: Like smooth, real, very nice.

1438
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe I'll try it.

1439
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 4: Well, do you like vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream?

1440
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 6: War French vanilla?

1441
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 4: Gibe some French only French?

1442
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, not the regulation vanilla. No, I need that cream.

1443
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: French stuff.

1444
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:47,479
Speaker 4: Regulation little, that's a little.

1445
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 6: But uh you you know there's the standard vanilla, which

1446
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 6: is just like vanilla. But then there's French vanilla, which

1447
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 6: is way more rich and creamy. It it's way better.

1448
01:04:58,040 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 4: French vanilla.

1449
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will, I'll be standing tonight, TASKI I'll be

1450
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 6: doing this for the remainder of the series bad. And

1451
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 6: also when I tweeted out my photo, a few people

1452
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 6: point out my TV's a little bit wonky. It's not

1453
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 6: lined up precisely.

1454
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 4: Now, it's They're.

1455
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 6: True, They're right, they're right, because I was. It's up

1456
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 6: on the wall, and it's one of those things that

1457
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 6: allegedly like pulls out and you can move it around.

1458
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 4: Yeah you can't.

1459
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 6: You can't. For some reason, I nearly pulled it off

1460
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 6: the wall. So then I put it back and now

1461
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 6: I've been like, I've been trying to straighten it up

1462
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 6: and I can't do that. So that's the way it is.

1463
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 6: It doesn't bother me, but I understand a few of

1464
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 6: those are OCD people out there, like they can't look

1465
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 6: at the photo.

1466
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 4: That doesn't bother you, but heaven forbid, somebody give you

1467
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 4: normal vanilla. And this the weirdest person to me, is

1468
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 4: literally half killed him.

1469
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 6: You're like, that's fine, Well I tried. I tried, and

1470
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 6: it was one of those things. I'm like, I know

1471
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 6: when the guy pulled when the guy originally put it

1472
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 6: in seven years ago, he's like, see, you just pull

1473
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 6: it out and you can move around. I'm like, okay, great,

1474
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 6: And I tried to do it one time, and you

1475
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 6: know when it just sort of like starts coming off

1476
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 6: the wall and I'm like, oh my god, what's gonna

1477
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 6: this is gonna it's gonna fall off yet, right, So

1478
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 6: I just pushed it back in. It's steady, and I'm like,

1479
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 6: I've you know, I've jiggled it. I've jiggled it some more.

1480
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 6: I've pushed it, and I'm like, all right, this is it,

1481
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 6: this is how we go inside.

1482
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: Man.

1483
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 4: I I'm tired of the comments when I do this

1484
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 4: stand with skeets of like why is your TV so small?

1485
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 4: Learn perspective people. It drives me in singe and I'm

1486
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,439
Speaker 4: not like, I don't have a gigantic TV. It's nobly

1487
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 4: not small. I know you guys can speak to that.

1488
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, god, do you know have you never watched

1489
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 4: Lord of the Rings? You don figured it out how

01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:34,560

01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: That with TV?

1492
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't tweet a picture of yourself in your

1493
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 5: house without people chiming in on the back. For me,

1494
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 5: it was like, well you got all those scissors. Kids

1495
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 5: like to cut, man, kids like to cut with waves.

1496
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, it's.

1497
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 4: Not being weirdos on my fiddle. You know whatever, it's

1498
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 4: going hashtags. Stand ski is a huge I would almost

1499
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 4: go so far to say it's pivotal.

1500
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 6: But it's a series tonight. If the Raptors lose, there's

1501
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 6: no way they came back.

1502
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 4: Okay, well, okay, that's pivotal then for the Raptors at least.

1503
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Not for the Celtics. That's a thing.

1504
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 4: See, it's not pivotal for the Celtics.

1505
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 6: Can it be pivotable if it's only for one team?

1506
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 4: Then no, it's just a mussle.

1507
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 6: I'll tell you my TV is not pivotable, pivotable, unpivotable.

1508
