00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: Hoops Tonight, presented by FanDuel. Here at the volume, I'm

30
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Jason Timp Happy Tuesday, everybody. I hope all of you

31
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: guys are off to another great start, in another great week,

32
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: A ton of great basketball to talk today. Both home

33
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: teams bounced back. I was on both of them on FanDuel,

34
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: so I'm happy with how I did as a sports

35
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: better tonight. I you know, the favorite, not necessarily the favorite,

36
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: because Golden State is actually favored in their series, but

37
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the home team, the team with home court advantage down

38
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: one zero in Game two, is a great betting opportunity

39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: because you just don't see the team with home court

40
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: advantage fall behind all that often It is they are

41
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: a desperate team playing on their home floor, and they

42
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: have home court advantage for a reason. Typically that means

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: that they have a lot of talent on the roster.

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Usually that means you're top two seed when you may

45
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: make it to the second round. Right. So obviously for

46
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: both of these teams, for Milwaukee and for Golden State,

47
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of series left, a lot of opportunity

48
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: to make up for what happens tonight. But I'm glad

49
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: that we get longer series. Longer series means more intense basketball.

50
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: I like seeing games six is in game sevens and

51
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: things along those lines. So I'm gonna take it. We're

52
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna get into Golden State Memphis. I'm gonna talk about

53
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the Dylan Brooks ejection. I want to talk a little

54
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: bit about the Warriors in general, with their continuity and

55
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the advantage it gives them in settings like this, because

56
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was insane with how poorly they played

57
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: in so many areas of the game that they were

58
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: as competitive as they were tonight. And then at the end,

59
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a game of That's what he said,

60
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: where we go over some of the best sound bites

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: around the world of sports at the end of the

62
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: show with my guy Carson. But let's start with Golden

63
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: State Memphis, and you can't start anywhere other than with

64
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: John Moran. You know, I thought there was a deliberate

65
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: strategy from Golden State to guard John single coverage. And

66
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of different, you know, ideologies with how

67
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: to stop a star. And you've probably you know, you've

68
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: heard the the cliches surrounding them, like make everybody else

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: beat us or don't let anybody else beat us, Right,

70
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: those are the two kind of strategies to go about,

71
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: and for the most part, in the last couple of years,

72
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot more with uh, the make everybody

73
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: else beat us type of strategy. You see so much

74
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: more attention devoted to stars. We've talked about it a

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: lot on this show. Teams have just gotten so sophisticated

76
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: with how to rotate on the back end, and then

77
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the losing of the traditional big man and supplementing that

78
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: with another wing athlete, and then the complete disappearance of

79
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: the traditional power forward. You know, the Paul Millsap type

80
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: of player and bringing in range e athletic basically wings

81
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: that are playing the four. For the more part, the

82
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: overall foot speed of these teams is so much higher

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: than it used to be that you have the ability

84
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: to cover ground on the back end, and usually you

85
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: can get away with double teaming, but there's an advantage

86
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: to going with single coverage, and it usually throws the

87
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: other guys at a rhythm, right like the advantage is.

88
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, Desmond Bain had another really bad game. Desmond

89
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: Baine is now in both games in this series been

90
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: pretty much useless offensively. We talked a lot about how

91
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: Desmond Bain is not a traditional shot creator in the

92
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: sense that you don't just throw him the ball against

93
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: good defenses and he creates shots for himself. He's not

94
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: that kind of wing. What he is is he's an

95
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: advantage attacker. He's kind of like Clay Thompson. You can

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: get him with the defender closing out at him from

97
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: a distance, He's going to make plays. He'll either knock

98
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: down a ton of threes or he'll pump bake and

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: get to the rim and things like that. But what

100
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: if you stay home, What if you stay on Jaw

101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: single coverage and you consistently have a defender tied up

102
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: with pain, he doesn't get those opportunities, and it affects

103
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: him everywhere on the floor, and it affects the psychology

104
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: of the total team. There's a reason why, even though

105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: Jaw had such an amazing night, this game wasn't you know,

106
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: as much of a convincing win as you would have

107
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: hoped for. You know, if you if you tell me

108
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get forty seven, eight and eight at a Jaw,

109
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for a fifteen twenty point win, right, But no,

110
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: it was close. And but here's the flip side. The

111
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: advantage of going with single coverage on Jaws you throw

112
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: everybody else out of rhythm. It helps you with defensive

113
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: rebounding because you have guys assigned to bodies you know

114
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: you have. There's a bunch of like obvious pluses that

115
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: come from that. But the downside is this, John Morant

116
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: is a top ten basketball player on planet Earth. And

117
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: so if you leave him in single coverage against great

118
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: defensive players, excuse me, against you know, average to average

119
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: to good defensive players, he's gonna have a ton of success,

120
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: and that's where the Gary Payton Jr. Injury ended up

121
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: being a massive swing factor in this game. We're gonna

122
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: get to that minute. I have a gigantic problem with

123
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: what Dylan Brooks did tonight. We'll get to that in

124
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: a second. But without Dylan or without Gary Payton Jr.

125
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: Out there, there was a lot of John Rant against

126
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, against Clay Thompson, against Jordan Pool, even was

127
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: getting shots off against Andrew Wiggins at the end of

128
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: the game. And that's because John Morant, like I said,

129
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: is a top ten NBA player, and if you leave

130
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: him on an island, there's a chance that he burns you.

131
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: To to Golden States credit. With the strategy, they had

132
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: a very good chance to win the game. We'll get

133
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: to that in just a minute. But Jah was magnificent

134
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: down the stretch, made every single play at the end

135
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: of the game, despite Golden State having multiple punches and

136
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: taking multiple leads at the end. You know, I made

137
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot of comps during this regular season between Jah

138
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: in two thousand sixty Wade, because we know so much

139
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: about playoff basketball from all of our years watching it, right,

140
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: and we know that matchups can swing a series. It's

141
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: no different than you know, Roy Hibbert and with the Pacers,

142
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: massive problems for Lebron and d Way because he was

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: camped under the basket, and the way that that dragged

144
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: those series is out. You saw Dwight Howard and two

145
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: thousand and nine carry a team to the finals because

146
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: nobody could guard him, and even a great team like

147
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers was just you know, he ate zyderusgowskis

148
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: alive and it changed the series. Well. Back in two

149
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: thousand six, something similar happened the Miami Heat team, and

150
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: they were good, but they weren't your typical championship team

151
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: that just absolutely destroys everybody all season long and then

152
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: runs through everybody in the postseason. No, they were, you know,

153
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: just a standard playoff team that had that one a

154
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: tough series against the Detroit Pistons to get out of

155
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. They fall down to zero to the

156
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks, and then something happens, a singular matchup factor

157
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: that completely changed the series. And yes, officiating played depart

158
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: in it, but nobody could guard Dwayne Wade, nobody could

159
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: keep him in front, nobody could keep him out of

160
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: the lane, and then when he got into the lane,

161
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: he was such a freaky athlete vertically and with the

162
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: speed linearly that he would just kind of fall down

163
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: half the time. And there was contact, the same type

164
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: of contact that you see on a lot of playoff plays.

165
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: But when you contact a player that's flying into the

166
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: lane way faster than normal humans do, it's tough to

167
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: interpret as an official. And so what happened. Dwyane Wade

168
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: got a ship ton of calls, shot a million free throws.

169
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: Then when they didn't fail him or they didn't have

170
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: enough bodies in the paint, he was scoring at will

171
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: and the paint and a young player who was not

172
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the best player in the league. Very similar trajectory in

173
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: terms of where his league standing is to a job Morant.

174
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Nobody could guard him, and he won an NBA championship. Now,

175
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: is Memphis gonna win an NBA Championship? I don't think so.

176
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: There's I mean, Steph Clay and Jordan Pool went six

177
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: nine from three tonight and had nine turnovers. It was

178
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: a disastrous game from Golden State and they damn near

179
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: took a two oh lead on your home floor. If

180
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm a Golden State Warriors fan tonight, I'm feeling fantastic

181
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: about where we are in this series, but I wanted

182
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: to you know, I have to credit Jaw and eight

183
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: Flash that same thing that I'm talking about. No one

184
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: could keep him in the front in front at the

185
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: end of the game. All they did was traditional five

186
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: out spacing, so they had, you know, guys in each corner,

187
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: guys on each wing, and they basically had John Morant

188
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: at the top of the key spread floor. Just go

189
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: to work and it's really simple, and it worked tonight.

190
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: Now the question will be how sustainable is that. You

191
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: guys know how how I feel about, you know, repetitiveness

192
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: on offense and the playoffs. You can't just get away

193
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: with running a high isolation time and time and time

194
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: and time and time again. Even if even if Jaws

195
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: having success individually, and even if you have some of

196
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the spacing stuff figured out, the individual defenders, the guys

197
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: like Steph, the guys like Jordan Pool, the guys like Wiggins,

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: will get so accustomed to seeing the moves that John

199
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Morant is using that over the course of the series

200
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: they'll get more and more stops. And then again, if

201
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: you're in single coverage in that situation and your other

202
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: players are out of rhythm, That's where the problems can come.

203
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: You know. My philosophy is is when you let a

204
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: guy in single coverage like that all night long and

205
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: you let him get going, a great time to start

206
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: suddenly double teaming him is at the end of the game.

207
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: The reason why is nobody's in a rhythm. Nobody has

208
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: any confidence if that ball ends up in Desmond Bains,

209
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: Like Desmond Bain got a couple of wide open looks

210
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter that he missed wide open. Desmond

211
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: Bain was I think he led the league in three

212
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: point percentage this year. So Desmon being fantastic shooter, missed

213
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: some open shots at the end. That's where you gotta

214
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: go in a in a in a setting like this

215
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: is Jaw's got all the numbers. You got everybody out

216
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: of rhythm. Late game is when you start throwing extra

217
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: bodies at him and try to turn him into a passer.

218
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: Make guys make shots, you know what I'm saying. So

219
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, like you tip your cap to Jaw,

220
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: he beat you because of your defensive strategy. He's gotta

221
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: beat you four times. You did your job you went

222
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: on the road as the team that doesn't have home

223
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: courted manage. You stole a game in Golden State, and

224
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: as a result, now you have home court advantage. Now

225
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: you go home to Golden State, you win a couple

226
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: of games on your home floor. You have a three

227
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: one lead. Now you can afford to go into Memphis

228
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: and drop a game five if you have to, just

229
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: like that Golden State again, you want to have a

230
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: two oh lead. I get if you're a Warriors fan,

231
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you could be a little bit disappointed in the way

232
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: things went. But at the end of the day, you

233
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: stole a game in Memphis. That's all you had to do.

234
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: I want to move on to this Dylan Brooks ejection

235
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: for a second. You know, the Draymond Green suspect. The

236
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Draymond Green ejection to me was a textbook like I

237
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: thought he deserved to get ejected. We talked about on

238
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: the show. It wasn't about the jersey poll, It's the combination.

239
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: He loaded up slap Brandon Clark right in the face.

240
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I thought he did it deliberately as well, and then

241
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: he grabbed the jersey and pulled him down. I thought

242
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: that deserved an ejection. But had they kept Draymond in

243
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: the Green, Draymond Green in the game, wouldn't have had

244
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: any problem with it, wouldn't have been an issue. They

245
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: just happened to make the ejection and I thought that

246
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: that was a defense. Will call this one. There was

247
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: no defense for it. If they would have left him

248
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: in the game, it would have been a travesty. It

249
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: was an outrageously dirty play. I actually had a huge

250
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: problem with shock and Charles Barkley going into the halftime

251
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: show and talking about how he was going for the ball. No,

252
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't, like it was disguised like that. He swung

253
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: in a trajectory where his hand was kind of in

254
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: the same direction of the ball, but he wasn't even

255
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: close to the ball, and he intentionally followed through on

256
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: his head. Gary Payton had a clear advantage going to

257
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: the rim, and Dylan Brooks made a deliberate attempt to

258
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: knock him out of the air, which is frighteningly dangerous.

259
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: He knew what he was doing, he knew it had

260
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: a risk of injury, and it did. It hurt him.

261
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: There's a chance, like we don't know until we get

262
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: the m R. I there's a chance he's got a

263
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: seriously messed up elbow. And in addition to that, Gary

264
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Payton Jr. Is Not under contract next year. It's a

265
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, this is professional basketball. They don't Golden State

266
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: doesn't owe him anything. If he has an elbow injury

267
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: that keeps him out for six months or something like

268
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: that and ends up being an issue, he'll have to

269
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: find another spot in the league potentially. That's the type

270
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: of risk. That's why you don't do stuff like that,

271
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: because you're messing with people's livelihoods at that point. Like Dylan,

272
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: imagine if you were in a contract year man, and

273
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: someone did that to your shooting elbow, Like that's the

274
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of that's the kind of situation that was. And

275
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's this stupid dynamic, you know. And Steve

276
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: Kerr saw this coming a mile away. Steve Kerr was

277
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: talking about how he expected this to be the most

278
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: physical game of the series. Clay Thompson talked about it

279
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: as well. Draymond Green talked about it on his show.

280
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: Everyone predicted physicality. There is a massive difference between physicality

281
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: and playing dirty, you know, And I hate, I hate

282
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: when I'm talking with older basketball players guys that have

283
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: been around for a long time. When when guys start

284
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: driving to the basket and they're like, oh, you gotta

285
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: knock him on his ask, you gotta, you gotta, you

286
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: gotta knock him out of the air. You gotta do

287
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: something to to stop him from getting into the lane.

288
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: And whenever I'd hear guys talk like that, I'd be like,

289
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: get out of here, man, that's dirty. Playing physical is

290
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: about holding your ground. Playing physical is about being the

291
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: aggressor on offense, and being the aggressor in box outs,

292
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: and being the aggressor when you set screens, and being

293
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: the aggressor when you're driving to the basket. It's not

294
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: about clabbering dudes out of mid air deliberately and knocking

295
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: them in a position where they're precariously falling down on

296
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: their elbow. That's not basketball. That's dirty. There's no place

297
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: for that, And it was deliberate. I had a huge

298
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: problem with it. If it were up to me, i'd

299
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: suspend him. He wouldn't be allowed to play until Gary

300
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: Payton Jr. Came back. But you know how that goes,

301
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna happen. My guesses we'll see him

302
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: in game three. But I just, you know, it offends

303
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: me personally as someone who's been around the game for

304
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: a while when guys do stuff like that, because I

305
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: just think it has no place in the game. And again, Dylan,

306
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: imagine you're in his predicament. Imagine it's a contract year

307
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: and you're literally going up to the basket and like

308
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: you could if you don't want to give up the basket,

309
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: grab him, hold him, do anything other than what you did.

310
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: That was incredibly dangerous. Had a huge problem with it.

311
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Warriors continuity for a

312
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: second because I thought this was super interesting. So you

313
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: have this disastrous game, right uh, Steph Clay and Jordan Pool,

314
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: I'll go six nine from three. You have this game

315
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: where John Moraic goes for forty seven, eight and eight,

316
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: makes all these huge plays, but you're right there at

317
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: the end, and you had chances to win that game.

318
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I through that entire fourth

319
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: quarter I thought Golden State was going to win, And

320
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, it's a testament to the type

321
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: of continuity and and confidence that this group has in

322
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: all of these settings. You know, there's this culture in

323
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: the NBA now player movement. Right, guys are teaming up

324
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: elsewhere in the league, and I have zero problem with that.

325
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: For the record, you guys have heard my take on

326
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: that before. We won't have to get into it tonight. However,

327
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, it puts certain teams at a disadvantage because

328
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: it's an accumulation of talent. You know, if you run

329
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: a team organically, try to build through the draft, try

330
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: to build through free agency, have guys stay in your

331
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: jersey for their entire careers. You know, it's hard to

332
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: keep up with Kawhi Leonard calling up Paul George and

333
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: going to a team that already was in the playoffs

334
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: and then suddenly they become one of the most talented

335
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: teams in the league. It's hard to keep up with

336
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: Clutch Sports is engine and the way that they can

337
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: pull Lebron James and Anthony Davis into the biggest brand

338
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: in the NBA and win a title in their first

339
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: year together. It's hard to keep up with Kyrie and

340
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: k D and all these things. Right, that's the the

341
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: challenges you're trying to keep up from a talent perspective.

342
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: But to Golden States credit, they did well enough in

343
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: the draft. I don't love the James Wiseman pick, But

344
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, overall, over the course

345
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: of this era, they've done a great job drafting, and

346
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: they have done savvy things, like when Kevin Dury wanted

347
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: to leave, they brought back to Angelo Russell that they

348
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: were able to flip into Andrew Wiggins, who's making pivotal

349
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: plays for you in the playoffs right now. They did

350
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: a lot of really really smart things. But most importantly,

351
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: the core group Steve Kerr, Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, and

352
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: Draymond Green has seen it all and done it all.

353
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: They've been in all these fights. That's why I thought

354
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: it was super interesting that all of them were prepared

355
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: for a physical blood bath tonight in Memphis. They were

356
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: ready for it because they've been there before. They know

357
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: how to react to all of these things. I thought

358
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: it was you know, we talked about, uh, we literally

359
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: talked last night about how Doc Rivers was completely unwilling

360
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: to use a lineup that he used in the first

361
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: half that was damned successful, the one without any centers,

362
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: and he just wouldn't use them the rest of the game,

363
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: and I thought it cost them any chance of trying

364
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: to upset Miami. Well, you know what Steve Kerr did.

365
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: He learned from Game one. There was a lineup that

366
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: he used at the end of the third quarter and

367
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: to start the fourth quarter that had no Draymond and

368
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: had no Kivan Looney. They went with I think it

369
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: was Clay and Jordan Pool, and then they had um

370
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: Jonathan cominga otto porter and then they had Andrew Wiggins

371
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: as the third guy or Gary Payton Jr. In the

372
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: third as the third guy in that group right in

373
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: that front court. Obviously, Gary Payton Jr's hurt, so tonight

374
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: they went with Damien Lee. But I was really imprest

375
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: that that group that Kerr had to use by virtue

376
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: of an ejection in Game one that had success. He

377
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: learned from it, he paid attention to it. He started

378
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter tonight with that same group with Damian

379
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: Lee in for for Gary Payton Jr. And they were

380
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: plus three and three minutes, and so when the game

381
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: was tied in the fourth quarter, you you were able

382
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: to bring step back later in the fourth quarter with

383
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: the lead. And that's a huge advantage. That's experience from Kurr.

384
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: That's a lack of stubbornness from Kurr. That's a willingness

385
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: to acknowledge information that's readily available in front of you

386
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: and to adopt that information and use it in the game.

387
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: I thought there were a bunch of really really smart

388
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: plays throughout that game. Steph. Late in the in the

389
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: third quarter, Uh, they went on. The Warriors went on

390
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: a thirteen to three run to close a ten point

391
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: lead to a tie in the last five minutes of

392
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and it was all just Steph relentlessly

393
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: attacking the rim. Auto Porter and Andrew Wiggins have both

394
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: been absolute monsters on the offensive glass of late. They

395
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: had three offensive rebounds in that sequence to end the

396
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: third quarter, two of which lad to uh points for

397
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: the Warriors. They get we talked about that center list

398
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: line up to start the fourth, then you know, go Uh.

399
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Memphis goes on a little bit running, a little running

400
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: gets a lead, but they come out of a time

401
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: out and it's like a beautiful out of bounds play

402
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: that gets an awesome backdoor cut for Clay Thompson there

403
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: the next possession down like Andrew Wiggins back cut, Draymond

404
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: Green hits him for a layup. Draymond h Andrew Wiggins

405
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: had that beautiful spinning float in the lane. They just

406
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: look like a team that is so comfortable and confident

407
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: executing and all of these situations, and and it's just

408
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: such an advantage to have in these situations. Like you, again,

409
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: if you're a Warriors fan, you have to feel fantastic

410
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: about where you are in this series, to have played

411
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: easily your worst game and to have had a chance

412
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: to win on the road in Memphis, and I just

413
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: think it's again, there's nothing. There is a reflex in

414
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: basketball that comes from continuity. When you play with the

415
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: same group of guys time and time again for years

416
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: and years and years, the whole game becomes like a

417
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: reflex for you. It's you don't even have to think about.

418
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: It just happens naturally. And this team has a natural

419
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: winning reflex. Everything that they do and they have done

420
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: over the last ten years, has built in this set

421
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: of habits to where no matter the prigament predicament, whether

422
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: it's super physical, whether they're trailing, whether they have the lead,

423
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: whether it's the fourth quarter, whether it's you know, in

424
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: a playoff series or in the regular season, they just

425
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: reflexively know what to do. To get the job done

426
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: and to win the game. And I think it's a

427
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: credit to the way that they've built that team, and

428
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: it's and it's it's good for the league that they've

429
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: had success in this specific way because it's an example

430
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: that you don't have to do it the super team route.

431
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: You don't have to do it by by teaming up

432
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: superstars on your team. If you build organically through the

433
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: draft and you have an organization that's well run enough

434
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: that people want to stay, and you get that continuity

435
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: year over year over year over year, and you draft

436
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: well enough that as your stars age, you have more

437
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: talent supplementing them, Guys like Jordan Poole. I thought Jonathan

438
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: Cominga made a lot of really big plays tonight. When

439
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: you have that set up, it makes you have that

440
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: lot lasting continuity, and it gives you the the the

441
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: the the fall back set of reflexes and habits to

442
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: win important basketball games. And it's what makes it's what

443
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: makes Golden State such an interesting team. It's why they

444
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: have such a big and and and you know, voracious

445
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: fan base, and it's what makes them so much fun

446
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: to watch. It's why they branded basketball is so new,

447
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: so ne unique. But before we move on to the

448
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Celtics and the Bucks, I wanted to go over a

00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: place to watch it. But before we check out Bucks Celtics,

464
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: here's a promo about some other great content at the volume. Hi,

465
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: it's Colin Coward. I started the volume to bring you

466
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: some of the most apathetic voices in sports. While you're here,

467
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: make sure we hit subscribe. Thanks. All right, let's move

468
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: on to the Bucks and the Celtics. So I thought

469
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: it was really interesting after Game one Boston was a

470
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: five point favorite in Vegas, and then they were a

471
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: five point favorite again tonight, and it's just the latest example. Obviously,

472
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Vegas is not as clean and cut and dry of

473
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: a prediction because they're factoring in public money and a

474
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: lot of those scenarios. However, I thought it was interesting

475
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: that they didn't overreact to Game one. And you know,

476
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: I said that Boston would win the series in five

477
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: and after Game one, I told you guys that I

478
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: thought would probably be longer because I didn't think Boston

479
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: would lose one of their first two games, and so

480
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: things are gonna stretch longer. It's gonna be a longer series,

481
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: and Milwaukee does have a chance to win, which before

482
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: the series, I thought they had a very small chance

483
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: to win. So Milwaukee has shown me a lot to

484
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: demonstrate that this is gonna be a lot more competitive

485
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: than even I thought it would be. However, we are

486
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: Boston picked for this show. Our pick of Boston was

487
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: not based on you know, like anti Janice, you know,

488
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: sentiment or any sort of hopefulness. It was reacting to

489
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: information that was right in front of their eyes. Like, guys,

490
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: I covered the Lakers this year and last year. The

491
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: vast majority of my followers are Lakers fans. Do you

492
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: think I stand to gain anything by suddenly becoming a

493
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: Celtics fan, Like, of course not. All I'm doing is

494
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: responding to information that's taking place right in front of me.

495
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: I we had a season's worth of data that showed

496
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: that Boston was the best defense in the league. I

497
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: had half of the season's worth of data that showed

498
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: that Boston was by far the best defense in the

499
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: league we had during that span. They were also the

500
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: best offense in the league. They took a team in

501
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: Brooklyn that was the preseason title favorite that yes, didn't

502
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: farewell in the regular season, but when Kadi and Kyrie

503
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: were on the floor, they were a very good team,

504
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: and Boston just handled them, just completely handled them. They

505
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: took one of the best basketball players in NBA history

506
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: at the top of his game and made him struggle

507
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: worse than I have ever seen him struggle. That's the

508
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: type of stuff we were seeing from Boston. That's why

509
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: I picked them, not because I'm a Celtics fan, not

510
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: because I dislike you, honest not because I have some

511
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: skin in the game. I'm simply reacting to information that

512
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: happens right in front of me. And that's why Boston

513
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: was a minus two hundred favorite before the series. What

514
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: happened in Game one, Boston defended extremely well in the

515
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: half court. Boston on certain offensive possessions looked good, particularly

516
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: when they were driving and kicking, getting feet in the

517
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: paint and hitting shooters in the pocket for catch and

518
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: shoot opportunities. They really struggled when they went off kilter

519
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: and tried to force things when they started shooting off

520
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: the dribble. We talked about how non Tatum Celtics were

521
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: over eleven on pull up jump shots. They had a

522
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: lot of really bad turnovers, and then when they turned

523
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: the ball over, Milwaukee scored every single time, literally every

524
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: steel that Milwaukee had they went down and scored. They

525
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: scored two point three three points per steel opportunity against Boston.

526
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: That was where they lost the game. They lost it

527
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: in transition. Now, there were a lot of other things there.

528
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, Boston's offense does have some limitations. They had

529
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: had stretches this year where they've struggled, So that's to

530
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: be expected at certain stretches, but that's all been factored

531
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: in when we're making these predictions. I thought it was

532
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: really interesting what Email Udoka said before the game same

533
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Van Gundy was talking about it in the opening minutes.

534
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Email Judoka's major takeaways from game one where no early

535
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: clock contested threes, which is exactly what we talked about.

536
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: How many times you'd see Jalen Brown come down the floor,

537
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: get a ball screen and just pull up a three

538
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: with seventeen on the shot clock when he's open, but

539
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: it's not really that open, you know what I mean.

540
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that kind of stuff. And then

541
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Email Yudoka said he wanted multiple drive in kicks, which

542
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: is something we talked about a ton on this show.

543
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: The concept of further compromising the defense with each progressive action,

544
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: turning a good shot into a great shot, and you

545
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: do that by perpetually applying rim pressure and kicking out

546
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: the shooters. You know, in this game, I talked a

547
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: lot about how in the first game, part of the

548
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 1: reason why Boston struggled so much from two was the

549
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: types of shots they were taking and the fact that

550
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: nothing was really all that high quality of a shot

551
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: well in this game after only attempting I think they

552
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: I think they were ten for twenty four from two

553
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: point range in uh in game one, they attempted thirty

554
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: seven two's tonight and they were eighteen for thirty seven,

555
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: And a big part of that was early in the

556
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: game they generated quality three point shots, and with those

557
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: quality three point shots, they loosened up the defense. They

558
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: went twenty for forty three from three tonight. That's an

559
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: awesome percentage. That's what Milwaukee's defense gives up. I keep

560
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: seeing things. I keep seeing it from stand Van Gundy too.

561
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: Like Boston has to find a way to score, two

562
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: is Boston has to find a way to score at

563
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: the rim. They're not going to. Milwaukee plays two centers

564
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: sometimes three. Two of them are premier shot blockers, and

565
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: no matter what, one of them is directly under the basket.

566
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: So be my guest if you want to try to

567
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: score over that all night long, the most realistic way

568
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: to try to score is to loosen things up from

569
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: the perimeter first and then take advantage of opportunities as

570
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: they come around the basket. But email you don't get

571
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, we work hard at this show to

572
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: try to to to to watch the film and to

573
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: be you know, aware of what's actually happening on the court.

574
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: And I thought it was cool that he may. Judoka

575
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: mentioned some things that we specifically talked about on this show.

576
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: Moving on to Jalen Brown, we talked. Carson asked me,

577
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, before the game, he said, who's the guy

578
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: that's most important for Boston to be able to figure

579
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: this out? And I said it was Jalen Brown. And

580
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: it's because of the fact that, you know, not only

581
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: did he play poorly in game one, but it's not

582
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: even like he's a role player. This guy is a star.

583
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: He's a two way star. Is he Paul George? No,

584
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: But he's you know, a tear right below that. He's

585
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: a guy that on any given night can create shots

586
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: for himself at all three levels of the floor. He

587
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: did a lot of scoring from the mid range tonight.

588
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: We did. We showed you guys those shot charts last night,

589
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: and I talked about how Boston needed more variety in

590
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: their shot selection. Well, Jalen Brown made five. Jalen Brown

591
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: and now Horford, between the two of them, I think

592
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: made four or five mid range shots just in the

593
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: first quarter after they made zero mid range shots in

594
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: Game one. Adding that variety makes you tougher to guard,

595
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and you started to see that they were all open

596
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: to The Al Horford shot was wide open. The Jalen

597
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: Brown step backs like the defender is overplaying the paint,

598
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: so when he does that hard pound dribble into that

599
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: step back between his legs, he's getting tons of separation.

600
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: Those are open shots, and as a result, Jalen had

601
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: a monster night. He had thirty points, five rebounds, and

602
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: six assists. He was eleven for eighteen from the field,

603
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: six for ten from three. He was demonstrating all of

604
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: that shot making. He was definitively either the best or

605
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: second best player on the floor tonight after being like

606
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: the ten or eleventh best player in Game one. That's

607
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: that influx of talent that makes the big difference in

608
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game. You know, Boston's defense is

609
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: something we've talked a ton about on this show, but

610
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: there are a couple of specific impacts that make them

611
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: so interesting. And the biggest thing is, you know, for

612
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: those of you guys who've been following me over the

613
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: last couple of years, the big reason why I talked

614
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: so much about switching defenses is because switching defenses stagnate

615
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: NBA offenses. You can't run actions, you can't. You can't

616
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: just you know, run a staggered screen for a shooter

617
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: coming off. It's not gonna gain an advantage because whoever

618
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: is guarding the second screen is just gonna grab the

619
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: shooter as he's coming out. Or if you're running a

620
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: flex action, or if you're running complicated pick and rolls

621
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: or whatever it is you're doing, a good switching defense

622
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: will simply be a one step ahead of you, and

623
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: they're just gonna be somebody waiting for you when you're

624
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: coming off the screen and nothing is really open, and

625
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: it turns you into an isolation team. And I thought

626
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: it was really interesting that the Bucks made thirty four

627
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: field goals tonight and they only had sixteen assists, so

628
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: literally eighteen of their thirty four made field goals were unassisted,

629
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: meaning even when they did score, for the most part,

630
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: it was in isolation sar scenarios, and it stagnates you.

631
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: It makes it harder for you to score. Milwaukee only

632
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: at eighties six points in this game. Again, the important,

633
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: the important impact of of stagnation is it throws everybody

634
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: out of rhythm. You know, it's hard for everybody to

635
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: feel confident and feel in a flow if the ball

636
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: is not really popping around, and the ball doesn't really

637
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: pop around against switching, Defen says, because nobody's really open.

638
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's kind of staying home, and they're trying to bait

639
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: you into playing io ball, into playing your turn my turnball.

640
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: Boston has been really effective at doing that all year,

641
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: and they did it really really well tonight. You know,

642
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: a huge part of what made that work was discovering

643
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: that they could single cover nice on most of the possessions.

644
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: So in game one, Grant Williams really struggled, and a

645
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: lot of that had to do with the fact that

646
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: um uh, Boston wasn't hitting him enough when he was

647
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: open at the three point line. There were a bunch

648
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: of missed opportunities there, obviously at a great offensive night tonight.

649
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: But in game one only Al Horford demonstrated that he

650
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: could guard Janice on an island. But in Game two,

651
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: immediately in the first quarter, Grant Williams came out and

652
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: clearly demonstrated that he was not going to be ran over.

653
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: That he was going to hold his ground and make

654
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: your honest shoot over the top. That put them in

655
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: a situation where now because they had two guys that

656
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 1: they could cover your honest in single coverage with, it

657
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: made things a lot more difficult for Janice. Now. He

658
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: struggled mightily in the first half. In the second half

659
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: he started to get going just by relentlessly trying to

660
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: pressure guys like Grant and al Horford. They did a

661
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: lot better job of clearing the side and putting him

662
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: in the post and making it so that he had

663
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more space to operate. But for the

664
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: most part they had some success. You're honest. We talked

665
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: about I am relenting. Now, he's the best basketball player

666
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: in the world. I will admit it. So like obviously

667
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: he's going to eventually break through that wall and have

668
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: some success, and he did in the second half. But

669
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: it's a very very interesting, you know, tool to have

670
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: in your toolbox for Boston to know that for the

671
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: most part, Grant Williams and al Horford can do a

672
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: decent job in single coverage on j Honese. And the

673
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: last note, on Boston's offense, they took much better care

674
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: of the basketball. We talked about how Milwaukee scored on

675
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: just about every single steal that they had. Well, Milwaukee

676
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: only had six fast breakpoints in this game after having

677
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight fast break points in Game one. Taking away

678
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: that supplementary offense for Milwaukee trapped them in the half

679
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: court all night long, and their Boston's half court defense

680
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: was at silint in Game one. It was even better

681
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: tonight in Game two, and it was a big part

682
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: of why they were able to get so many stops.

683
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Janice for a little bit.

684
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: So you know, Janice, he struggled, uh, really badly in

685
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: that first half, had some success in that second half.

686
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of talk about the way

687
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: that he's officiated. My issue with it is like, I

688
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: don't have any problem with Janice being physically aggressive. I

689
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: don't have any problem with Lebron being physically aggressive. I

690
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: don't have any problem with Joel and Bid being physically aggressive.

691
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: My thing is leeway. If you were going to give

692
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: leeway for Johannice to drop his shoulder and try to

693
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: run people over, then you have to give leeway to

694
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: the defensive player back to be physical. In return, you

695
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: can't be by the book with the defensive player on

696
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: your honest and then give Joannice all sorts of leeway

697
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: with off arms and dropping his shoulder and player control

698
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: fouls and all that stuff, because there's by the book

699
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: stuff on offense too that says that if a player

700
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: has position, you're not allowed to run in mode that

701
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're not allowed to drop your shoulder, you're

702
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: not allowed to extend an off arm. There are a

703
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: lot of things that the off ensive player is not

704
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: allowed to do. You know, I've I've talked about this

705
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: a lot on the show. I have no issue with

706
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: the fact that Lebron doesn't get many foul calls because

707
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: I think Lebron initiates a ton of contact. So my

708
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: thing is like, let Lebron play Lebron ball, let the

709
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: defender be physical back. And I feel the same way

710
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: with your honest. There was a few plays there in

711
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: that second half where it started to kind of feel

712
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: like the refs didn't know what to do with your honest,

713
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: and that's kind of the predicament he puts you in.

714
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: It's a credit to Jannice. Again, this is not It's

715
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: just like with the Joel and beat thing. This is

716
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: not an insult to Jannice. This is an issue with

717
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: officiating and the way that they are inconsistent. There was

718
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: a play in the second half where Jannas barreled down

719
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: the lane and ran over Robert Williams, just completely ran

720
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: them over and got a layup. It was called an

721
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and one. Then on the very next trip down, Jason

722
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Tatum is posting up on Grayson Allen and just as

723
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: a basic like backdown dribble and Grayson Allen flops and

724
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: they call an offensive foul. You can't. You can't give

725
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: leeway to Janice if you're not gonna give it to

726
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: other players on the court. That's just that's just my

727
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: little two sense. I know I complain about officiating all

728
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: the time. It's just, you know, I'm a big believer

729
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: and letting guys play basketball and rest being less involved.

730
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: And I know it's really tough with the honest, but

731
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: there needs to be Again, all I'm saying is I

732
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: don't want to see Janice living at the free throw

733
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: line when he's running people over. Make him play basketball

734
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: the same way that every other player in the league

735
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: is supposed to play. You know, the one of the

736
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: interesting things about having Grant Williams and Al Horford in

737
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: single coverage is it forces your honest to be more

738
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: of a shotmaker. And tonight he had three in transition

739
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: in the second half. He had a little mid range

740
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: jump shot that he made in the second half, but

741
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: for the most part, they made him shoot over the

742
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: top and he struggled in that department, and that's his

743
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: one specific weakness. You know, Janice has demonstrated that he's

744
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: come miles as a playmaker. He obviously is the best

745
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: paint scorer that we have in the league. He's, you know,

746
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive players that we have in

747
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: the league. His one hole is like half court shot making.

748
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: And one of the things that's gonna be tested over

749
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 1: the course of the series is, you know, Boston's gonna

750
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: try to bait him into taking those shots. And in

751
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: the first half he did. He took a lot of

752
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: jump shots. In the second half, he was much more

753
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: deliberate about, like, Hey, if you're gonna put Grant Williams

754
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: and Al Horford on me, I'm gonna try to run

755
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: you over. Even if I don't get calls, even if

756
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: I missed shots, I'm gonna try to wear you down,

757
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: and that kind of goes to that concept that we

758
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, after Game one, where Janice

759
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: forced a lot of things in traffic, and I talked

760
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: about the cumulative effect of rim pressure if you just

761
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: keep doing that over the course of a seven game series,

762
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: as the game's progress, as we get later into the series,

763
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: it gets harder and harder to build that wall, It

764
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: gets harder and harder to hold your ground, and there

765
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: is probably going to be a monster Jannice game later

766
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: in this series, or Boston struggles to build that wall

767
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: and he gets like forty six points with like you know,

768
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, twelve or thirteen dunks. That's just kind of

769
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: the natural order of things, you know, Boston. We talked

770
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: a lot about how after Game one Boston played scared,

771
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: that they were deferential to Janice, that they seemed to

772
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: be kind of like trapped in his aura. I thought

773
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: from the opening tip tonight they threw that right out

774
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: the window and they were like, no, screw that, we

775
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: don't care that. He's honest, We're gonna play basketball the

776
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: way that we want to play. That's the way they

777
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: have to be. If you play scared, you're dead on arrival.

778
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: Last note before we move on, Milwaukee didn't play a

779
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: little bit better in the second half. This is that

780
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: fake comeback concept. I never like getting too you know,

781
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: wrapped up in second half comebacks when you fall into

782
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: a massive deficit, because almost always, if you're a team

783
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: like Boston, especially a team like Boston that has some

784
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: guys that are banged up, you know, like Marcus Smart

785
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: obviously missed this game. They have three days off until Saturday,

786
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown's dealing with a hamstring thing. There's a tendency

787
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: to be like, we're up, let's just escape, Like, let's

788
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: just get out of here with the win and move on,

789
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: rather than going for the jugular. It's obviously you'd prefer

790
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: to see teams stay aggressive down the stretch, but it's

791
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot easier said than done. I thought that was

792
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: a big part of why Milwaukee did sort of kind

793
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: of sort of threatened. But here's the three reality. Even

794
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: in that second half for Milwaukee played better, they only

795
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: scored forty six points. So for all of that talk

796
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: about you know, Milwaukee getting quality looks at the rim,

797
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: and and and and you know, Boston struggling to get

798
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: shots at the rim. Well, guess what, Milwaukee still only

799
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: scored forty six points, so it's not like they had

800
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: some massive offensive revelation in that second half. The only

801
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: real the only real takeaway I got in terms of

802
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: like something to move forward with Janice, there were two things. One,

803
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: when they used Joannice as a screener, they were Boston

804
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: was just hugging up on the screener, which instead of

805
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: playing pick and roll coverages like having a guy in

806
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: drop coverage or showing on the screen or trapping or

807
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: anything like that, they were just hugging onto Janice, which

808
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: effectively makes it like a double screen. And so the

809
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: guy who was guarding the ball handler kept getting caught

810
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: on that screen and Milwaukee was getting into the pain

811
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: off of that. Boston's gonna have to figure out some

812
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: adjustments there. And then one last thing. One of the

813
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: ways that Janice started to have success against Al Horford

814
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: and Grant Williams was clearing the side instead of having

815
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: an attack in the middle of the floor where Janice

816
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: was struggling with understanding where help was coming from. They

817
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: spaced everybody out past the three point line, like five

818
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: ft out past the three point line, put Janie on

819
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: that left block, and they were just like, here's the

820
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: entire floor for you. Puts the Boston help defenders in

821
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: a weird position where they they don't know if they're

822
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: supposed to help because their defend their offensive players so

823
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: far away, or if they're supposed to stay home. And

824
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: Johanna had some success there, so that's definitely something that

825
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to go to in Game three to

826
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: try to get you honest going. But hey, this is

827
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: the bounce back game from Boston. Just like I said,

828
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: don't take victory laps after game one, I'm not gonna

829
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: take a victory lap after Game two. Yes, I think

830
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: Boston is a better team. Yes, I think they're gonna

831
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: win the series. I was wrong in the sense that

832
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a walkover. Milwaukee is gonna have

833
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: some they're gonna win probably at least one of these

834
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: two games here in Milwaukee next week or on Saturday,

835
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: so a Saturday Monday. So this isn't over by any stretch.

836
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: Even if you're a Boston fan. There's no way to

837
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: no no time to relax. However, what was encouraging tonight

838
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: in terms of my prediction was I started to see

839
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: some of the things materialized that I saw on tape

840
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: over the course of the last six months, which, obviously,

841
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, your team tells you who they are over

842
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: the big sample size, not over the small sample size,

843
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: and over a big sample size. Boston has demonstrated to

844
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: us that they were the best team in the league.

845
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: Here tonight they demonstrated it again. They're gonna have to

846
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: demonstrate it three more times in order to get out

847
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: of this round, but we're gonna move on by It's

863
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: The game is a personal favorite of mine. I would

864
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: He said, we're gonna take some of the most interesting

865
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: sound bites from around the league and we'll play them,

866
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: will get your reactions. So we're gonna start with a

867
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: pretty unfortunate one, and it's related to the Dylan Brooks

868
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: flagrant foul on Gary Payton the second that ended up

869
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: earning him an objection. It has Sentimen. Sentimen announced that

870
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: GP two actually fractured his left elbow from that. Just

871
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: a pretty brutal play and fall all around, like honestly

872
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: borderline clothes line to the head. So Steve Kerr talked

873
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: about that, gave his thoughts on the play from Brooks.

874
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: So let's hear that now. I don't know if it

875
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: was intentional, but it was dirty. And U you know,

876
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: playoff basketball, it's gone. It's supposed to be physical. You know,

877
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna compete, everybody's gonna fight for everything. But there's

878
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: a code in this league to code that players follow

879
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: um where you never put a guy's season slash career

880
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: in Jeffrey like taking somebody out in mid air and

881
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: clubbing him across the head, ultimately fracturing Verry's healthful. And

882
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's been toiling the last six

883
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: years trying to make it in this a leading UM

884
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: finally found a home just you know, playing his butt

885
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: off this year UM in the playoffs, you know this

886
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: yet being the time of his length, and guy comes

887
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: in lasting across the head into there. He broke the

888
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: code on Brooks broke the code. That's how I'm Steve.

889
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot to unpack their ker has that.

890
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was intentional, but it was dirty.

891
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: Quote he talks about Brooks breaking the code, talks about

892
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: just obviously how devastating he is for g P two individually,

893
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: given his journey. So given all that, what's your initial

894
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: reaction to that from Kerr and thoughts on the play overall? Man,

895
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr is a great basketball coach, but he's an

896
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: exceptional human being overall as well. And I'm really glad

897
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: that he was able to eloquently lay that out because

898
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: I tried to say something similar earlier in the show,

899
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: and I think it just carries so much more impact

900
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: coming from him, and it was so important for him

901
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: to say that. Look, guys, like I've talked about Gary

902
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: Payton a lot on this show, like in a lot

903
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: of ways, Like, you know, him and I had a

904
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: similar goal and we followed a similar path. We both

905
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: came up through junior college and then went to four

906
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: year schools. He was better than me, And you know,

907
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm I have I met peace with knowing that I

908
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: didn't make it because I wasn't good enough. I don't

909
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: lose sleep because I feel like I got screwed over

910
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: or because I felt like some things didn't go my way.

911
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: That we're supposed to go my way. You know, I

912
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: met peace with that. Gary Payton. You know, I've been

913
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: rooting for him ever since him and I crossed paths

914
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: in our college basketball careers, and and I've been rooting

915
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: for him over the course of the the last few years.

916
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: I wanted the Lakers to sign him a bunch of times,

917
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: and you know, like Steve said, like that's that's a

918
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: tough journey, especially when you go that route, like there's

919
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: a it's a completely different route than the route that

920
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: uh um to the route that like a Lebron James

921
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: goes through coming up as like a high school superstar

922
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: and getting recruited, like the grind of trying to make

923
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: it in professional basketball. Like you know, I I know

924
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who are currently going through that

925
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: grind overseas that have goals to try to make it

926
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: back over here. I've got a buddy from two on,

927
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: a guy named Bryce Cotton that I played with growing up,

928
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: who briefly was in the league and now he's in

929
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: Australia fighting there. Like there is like a kind of

930
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: like a brotherhood that exists amongst all of these basketball

931
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: players that are trying on this journey and it is

932
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: so incredibly difficult. And when you get that, when you

933
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: get that call and you get that opportunity, it means

934
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: so much. And like again, like I told you guys

935
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, and I and I mean it

936
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart, like you don't play

937
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: with that, you don't play with that. And most importantly,

938
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: like to Steve Kerr's original point about there being a code,

939
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: I'd argue that code extends down the line like in

940
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: your local pickup game up at the y m c

941
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: A or up at the l A fitness or wherever

942
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: it is that you play. If a guy's going up

943
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: for a layup and he's mid in mid air and

944
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: you don't have a legitimate chance to block the shot,

945
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: you let him go. You don't, you don't, Or if

946
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: you foul him, you foul him in a way that's

947
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: not dangerous. You reckless swinging or tackling or undercutting of

948
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: a player that is flying towards the basket is completely

949
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: out of line at every level of the game. And

950
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: Dylan knows that, and he willingly made a conscious decision

951
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: at that point to risk Gary Payton's basketball career, and

952
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: he severely injured him, and he probably won't play again

953
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: in this playoff run. And quite frankly, I have no

954
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: interest in seeing Dylan Brooks play again in this playoff run.

955
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: So you touched on it a bit there. I mean, obviously,

956
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: the first reaction has to be empathy for Gary Payton,

957
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: the second and what this means for him. But that

958
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: last comment there, what do you think is an appropriate

959
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: punishment for Dylan Brooks beyond obviously just the injection it's

960
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: hard because, you know, again to Steve Kerr's original point

961
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: of intentionality, I don't think Dylan Brooks intentionally tried to

962
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: hurt Gary Payton, but he did intentionally make a decision

963
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 1: that he knew carried a high risk of hurting Gary

964
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Payton Jr. And so from that it's almost like a

965
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: reckless endanger type of deal. So, I mean, here's the thing,

966
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: I think you should be suspended. The length of the

967
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: suspension is super complicated because if you suspend him for

968
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: the remainder of the playoffs, Memphis will freak out and

969
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: probably have a right too, because that's a pretty extensive

970
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: punishment for a play that, again, intentionally, he wasn't trying

971
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: to hurt him, right, but it was the risk involved.

972
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: I would I would suspend him for the rest of

973
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: the series, though I think that's fair. He's gonna miss

974
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: somewhere between what three and five games. That's a reasonable

975
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: suspension in the sense that it's not so egregiously long

976
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: that it's you know, borderline like reactionary. But at the

977
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: same time, it's like, hey, if you're gonna if you're

978
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: gonna try to beat the Warriors about Gary Payton, congrats,

979
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat him Withoutdylan Brooks now because he's the

980
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: one that took him out. That's that's the way I

981
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: would do it if I was in charge. Yeah, And

982
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean that is significant. It's pretty rare, I would say,

983
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: to see a multiple game suspension in the NBA for

984
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: one individual play. But this is play grant as it gets,

985
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: I would say. So. Another obvious important component of this

986
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: is that Gary Payton the second although his journey has

987
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: been so improbable and whatnot, and he hasn't always been

988
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: the biggest name, he has become a very important member

989
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: of this Warrior's rotation. He started both Games one, and

990
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: to play twenty three minutes in Game one at times

991
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: look like the best counter maybe defensively, I would say, actually, certainly,

992
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,959
Speaker 1: uh for John Morant on the perimeter for this Warrior's team.

993
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: So how does this impact them in terms of their

994
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: effort to win this series, their rotation, and just the

995
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: overall basketball product we're gonna see from the Warriors. Well,

996
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: that last thing you said is the most important thing.

997
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: Like he is specifically in this matchup was vitally important

998
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: for Golden State. So I mean that they're like the

999
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: more the more we stare at this situation, it just

1000
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: is even more egregious with the with the passing second.

1001
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, look, here's the deal. A lot of Gary

1002
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: Payton's minutes we're getting taken out of Jordan Pools minutes.

1003
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: And my guess is they won't dip into other parts

1004
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: of the rotation too often. I think it'll just kind

1005
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: of his minutes will just be dispersed among the guards

1006
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: taking on a bigger workload. But you did see in

1007
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter they went with Damian Leo little a

1008
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: little bit. I like Damien Lee. He's a solid wing.

1009
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: He's actually been in and out of the rotation for

1010
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: Golden State a lot over the of course the last

1011
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: couple of years. He's a big athletic to guard. He's

1012
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: got a good amount of strength to him, a little

1013
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: bit more like heft, like physical hefton, meaning like ability

1014
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: to hold his ground in physical mismatches, which may actually

1015
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: end up being an advantage in this specific series without

1016
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: with how strong Memphis is. But my guesses you'll see

1017
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: little doses of Damian Lee here and there, but for

1018
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: the most part, his minutes will be dispersed among the

1019
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: other guards on the team. Alright, Well, obviously again devastating news,

1020
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: not just because I mean, it's terrible to see anybody

1021
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: go down like that, and it's really unfortunate to have

1022
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: a lead to an injury. I do particularly love watching

1023
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: GP you play and it is an unbelievable stories just

1024
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: ruck on that front. All right, we have another clip

1025
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: from a member of the Warriors team not on this

1026
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: series though, of course, we have The Draymond Green Show

1027
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: here at the volume. Everybody should go listen. It is

1028
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: I think some of the most engaging sports content out there.

1029
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: He gave his predictions for Maths Sons and had an

1030
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: interesting take. So let's take a listen any stretch of

1031
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: the imagination. And so I'm gonna admit, this is a

1032
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: tough one for me to pick. It's a pick um.

1033
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a coin flip. Both teams are

1034
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: really good. Do I have to pick one? If I

1035
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: have to pick one, you have to pick one. I'm

1036
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna pick They're underdog. I'm gonna go with the MAVs.

1037
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: So Jason Draymond even said before the series when he

1038
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: made that pick, he thought the Songs would win Game one,

1039
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 1: so he is not off path with his prediction there.

1040
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that very very bold take

1041
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: from Draymond. You know, it's not bold to pick Luca

1042
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: to win a playoff series. You know, I absolutely think

1043
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: Dallas has a chance, but I think they're an underdog

1044
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: for a reason. Phoenix has a ridiculous amount of talent.

1045
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: We've talked about it extensively on this show. The thing

1046
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: that makes it really really hard is like, you know,

1047
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: I look at specific things with that are sustainable, right,

1048
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: and generally speaking, I'm gonna look at shot quality. Now.

1049
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: What I noticed after two games of the Nets Celtics

1050
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: series was Brooklyn could not generate good shots. And as

1051
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: soon as I saw that, I was like, okay, I've

1052
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: seen almost a hundred minutes of evidence that Brooklyn can't

1053
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: get good shots. This series is over. They can't win.

1054
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: That's all she wrote. It's over, right. You know, I'm

1055
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: always gonna wait at least two games before I make

1056
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: that type of call. But didn't love the shot quality

1057
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 1: they got in Game one. Seemed like Phoenix was getting

1058
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: easier shots consistently every time down the floor. There's some

1059
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: adjustment things that they could do. I thought Phoenix did

1060
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: a similar thing that Golden State did too. Phoenix did

1061
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,479
Speaker 1: a similar thing that Golden State did to John Ran tonight.

1062
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: They consistently let they tried to turn Luca into score,

1063
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: stayed home on all of the off ball reads for

1064
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: the most part, and especially as the game progressed, and

1065
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: I think, what what did Luca finished with? Like forty

1066
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: five points or something like that, but it was, you know,

1067
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: never really threatened, right, So obviously that's the strategy that

1068
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: they're going with. So they're gonna have to find some

1069
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: way to have Luca be more effective so that they

1070
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: have to start sending help because that's when the ball

1071
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: starts moving around, and that's when Dallas gets especially dangerous. Again,

1072
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: Dallas has a chance to win, but Phoenix is demonstrated

1073
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: throughout the entire season that they're the best team if

1074
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: you pay attention to personnel. They have the most talent

1075
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: top to bottom of any roster in the NBA. So

1076
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,479
Speaker 1: the challenges set in front of him, and then half

1077
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: home court is obviously an issue as well. Phoenix's home

1078
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: crowd is is a very his crowd, and and you know,

1079
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: not that you don't trust Luca in those environments, but

1080
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: definitely a bold pick from Mr Draymond and if I

1081
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: if I felt like messing with him and his pick

1082
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 1: was wrong, I tell me needs to be fired afterwards.

1083
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: But I'm just yeah, it is bold. And obviously the

1084
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: Luca factor is so important there because in terms of

1085
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: playoff production up to this point, he is historically unrivaled.

1086
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's over thirty three and basically nine and

1087
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: nine on almost fifty nine percentury shooting across the three

1088
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: postseasons we've seen, and just the ability to impose his

1089
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: will as the score and playmaker is versatility. Possession after

1090
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: possession is wild, and obviously it's what makes him so great.

1091
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: So I actually made a TikTok for us today at

1092
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: the volume of the top five guys left in the playoffs,

1093
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: who I would most want for the rest of this run.

1094
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: I had Luca to behind only Janice. Where do you

1095
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: think he would be for you in that conversation? Oh man,

1096
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: that is a good question. Carson Steph had a rough

1097
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: nighty and tonight he's having trouble taking care of the basketball.

1098
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: He's just definitely now some of this is the foot right.

1099
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: So like again, I I I want to wait to

1100
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: make like a final call on steps decline until next

1101
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: year in training camp. But you can tell he's struggling

1102
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: to get separation to generate his own shot compared to

1103
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: when he was in his prime. So whereas like Luca is,

1104
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, very clearly at the peak of his powers,

1105
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: I think John, this is a clear number one. You know,

1106
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: Tatum obviously complicates that list a little bit. I might

1107
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: even Potatum a little bit ahead of Steff, but I'm

1108
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: not sure, you know, I think I trust stepped more

1109
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: in a big game, but in terms of like day

1110
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: and day out the rest of the season, I think

1111
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: I'd take Tatum. Uh. Here's the thing with Luca, man,

1112
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: Like he just keeps coming, Like awful, awful start against

1113
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: Phoenix downten Oh had a couple of sloppy turnovers through

1114
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: the ball, Like I had a floater that he missed

1115
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: short there down ten zero, looks like everything's bad, but

1116
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: he just kept coming and next thing you know, it's

1117
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: like here's a run from Dallas and he you know,

1118
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out and it's I've texted this to

1119
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: you guys actually, and it's the truth from my perspective. Like,

1120
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: to me, it reminds me of watching two thousand eighteen

1121
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: Lebron in terms of just command of the half court

1122
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: offense in the sense that like he's initiating everything. The

1123
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 1: defense knows exactly what he's gonna do. They know exactly

1124
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: the like the spots on the floor he's trying to

1125
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: get to. They know exactly what passing reads he's looking at.

1126
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: You know exactly what his scoring reeds are, and they

1127
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: just can't do anything with it. You know. Obviously it

1128
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: lacks that athletic pop that Lebron had and some of

1129
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: the defensive pop, but you know, like it's he's majestic

1130
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: to watch in the half court. He's becoming one of

1131
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: my favorite players to watch, and I would agree with you.

1132
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the second best player left in

1133
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,959
Speaker 1: this playoff run. Yeah, it is a remarkable skill set

1134
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: and I just think he is on the trajector to

1135
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: be greatest offensive players we have ever seen. He kind

1136
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: of has everything that you could look for in that respect.

1137
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: We've got one last clip here. You have been a

1138
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: huge believer in the Celtics and specifically their defense, calling

1139
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: it the best that you've seen. It was a really

1140
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: stellar bounce back game from them in Game two, big

1141
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: win obviously email Doka head coach touched on that improvement

1142
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: from game one to game two. Let's take a listen

1143
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: to what he had to say. See even and that

1144
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: level of physicality has been increased. Yeah, guarding the way

1145
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: we have been all year, and even in game one,

1146
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: we felt we were okay in the half court, but

1147
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: we're just sloppy and you know, turnovers trans transition that

1148
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: we gave up kind of helped them as far as that,

1149
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: so we knew we could be good again in the

1150
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: half court. It was more so good offense and take

1151
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: care of the ball, but offensively, I think us getting

1152
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: downhill attacking a little bit more. You know. The point

1153
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: is they have good rain protectors and they you know,

1154
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: crowd the paint, but it's not Will Chamberlain out there.

1155
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: As guys. We can get downhill and attack and and

1156
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, we got guys that can finish and so

1157
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: uh still missed a few dump offs and robbed tonight, Uh,

1158
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: a few dump offs the al as well, but obviously

1159
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: much better getting downhill and attacking Lopez tonight. Jason, what

1160
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that? For me? Ma, you know,

1161
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: you me and the rest of the team here, we

1162
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: do a show that covers the NBA, and I think

1163
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: it's one of the best compliments that we can have

1164
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: when we see NBA coaches and personnel end up saying

1165
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: the same things that we say after we've done our homework.

1166
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, those are all very specific things, Carson, that

1167
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: you and I talked about extensively over the course the

1168
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: last two days. Their half court defense was excellent in

1169
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: the in the in offense, their decision making and taking

1170
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: care of the basketball lead them to transition opportunities where

1171
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee killed them. They you know, we talked about how

1172
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: they struggled with how to attack the paint, and one

1173
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: of the things I thought they did a much better

1174
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: job tonight of was being selective about when to drive

1175
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: driving when they I mean when they tried to finish.

1176
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: Obviously you have to consistently drive, but they did a

1177
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: much better job of selectively decide when to try to

1178
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: challenge Janice or Drew or Joannice or Brooke at the

1179
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: rim versus kicking out two shooters and things along those lines.

1180
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: We did this whole thing with shot charts, and they

1181
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: came out in the first quarter attacking from the mid range.

1182
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: So like just like everything that you and I talked about,

1183
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: Boston went out and executed and it led to a

1184
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: sixty five to forty win. And you know, there in

1185
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: the first half, I should say, it's the point being like,

1186
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly, That's exactly what what made me so

1187
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: confident about this team from the beginning of the year.

1188
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: They're the best defensive team that I've seen in this era.

1189
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: They switch everything and they stagnate. You Milwaukee had assists

1190
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: on fewer than half of their made field goals. It

1191
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: turned through Holiday and Janice into isolation players all night long,

1192
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: and both of them struggled in that role. Although Janice

1193
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: got going a little bit there in the third quarter.

1194
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: Everything went exactly as I expected in this particular game. Now,

1195
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 1: the most encouraging thing that I saw from that clip,

1196
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: and you there was another quote. I can't remember it

1197
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: exactly off top of my head, but Jayson Tatum said

1198
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: that they were really upset with the way they played

1199
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: after Game one and they knew that they were capable

1200
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: of playing way better in game two. And to me,

1201
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: that rings to the confidence argument and the discussion we

1202
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: had about Janice and the aura that he has and

1203
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: the way that he can inflict almost like a fear

1204
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: on the other team, and I thought it was really

1205
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: telling that Boston was like, no, that, like, we know

1206
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: we're better than we played. We're gonna be fine, Like,

1207
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: let's go out there and kick some masks, and that's

1208
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: what they did. So again, I I'm excited to dive

1209
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: into the film and see what I think is translatable forward,

1210
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: because I thought Milwaukee did figure some stuff out offensively

1211
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,439
Speaker 1: in that second half, although they still only had forty

1212
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: six points in that second half. But again, uh, just

1213
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: this is a team that's very confident. They're well coached,

1214
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: they have all the pieces they need to win the title.

1215
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: There's a reason why they're favored in this series. I

1216
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: expected them to bounce back tonight. I bet some money

1217
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: on it. So I'm with I'm happy with my Celtics

1218
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: pick at this point. But I still where I was

1219
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: wrong is I thought this is gonna be a quick series.

1220
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: I thought Boston would get them out of here in five. Uh.

1221
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Them dropping game one automatically brings up the predicament of

1222
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: a Game six in Boston and the fact that they're

1223
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: they're not gonna go win two games in Milwaukee, right,

1224
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: So like, you know, it's just one of those things

1225
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: where it's gonna be a long series, and obviously longer

1226
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: series favor the bigger, stronger athletes. That gives a massive

1227
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: advantage to Janice as things go along. So I've I'm

1228
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: still on the Celtics, but I'm at this point I

1229
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: view Milwaukee as a significant threat to win the series

1230
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: in a way that I did not before the series.

1231
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: So obviously we hear that clip from Udoka, and I

1232
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: think he was regarded as one of the most impressive

1233
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: coaches in the league this year. Do you think Boston

1234
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: has a significant coaching advantage and do you think that's

1235
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: something that really matters and can impact this series? That's tough.

1236
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Budenholzer is a very good coach as well.

1237
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Mea Yudoka's knew. There are a lot of things that

1238
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I like about him. I think he has a unique

1239
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: ability to challenge his players and in a way that

1240
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: they relate to. You know, if you get a David

1241
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Blatt in a room and him screaming at guy's a

1242
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: being like you're never boxing out and you're never doing this,

1243
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: and you're never doing that. They just kind of like

1244
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: shrug at him and they're like, get this old dude

1245
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: out of here. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

1246
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Kind of deal. But hem, Yodoka, guy who's been in

1247
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: the trenches, you know, in the n b A. I

1248
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: think that especially recently, you know, like he may he's

1249
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: not an exceptionally old person. So like, I think that

1250
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: that resonates with those guys in a in a real way.

1251
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: And you know, talk to any Celtics fan, what would

1252
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: they tell you was the biggest weakness of the Celtics

1253
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. They tell you toughness. Now,

1254
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was more extensive than that. I thought

1255
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: they were missing primary offensive creation and a lot of that.

1256
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: You know, all the reps they were able to give

1257
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown over the last couple of

1258
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: years were a huge part of them kind of blossoming

1259
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: the way they have at the end of the season.

1260
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: But toughness absolutely was a factor, and they're suddenly one

1261
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: of the toughest teams in the league. And I think that.

1262
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination about Horford coming back in

1263
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: here and instilling some of that and then also uh

1264
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Email Yudoka. But the question of him having a coaching

1265
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: advantage or where does he stack up with other coaches

1266
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: in the league. It's hard for me to realistically make

1267
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: a claim on that front this early and Emay's coaching career.

1268
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: I'd want to wait a couple of years. Alright, Well,

1269
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: we've got one last quote for you here, Jason, as

1270
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: we play, That's what he said. We don't have a

1271
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: sound on this one, but we have the words, and

1272
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: they are pretty glorious. This is from massaiou Jerry on

1273
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers interest in Nick Nurse, which obviously we have

1274
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: heard about. Quote, I dream like they dream. I want Messy,

1275
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: I want Ronaldo, I want Kobe Bryant so they can

1276
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: keep dreaming. I dream too, Jason, what's your reaction to that.

1277
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,959
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that that I want. I want teams

1278
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: around the league to make jokes at the Lakers expense.

1279
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: They're literally, dude. It's it's insane. Their run like a

1280
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: mom and pop shop. It's the craziest thing in the world.

1281
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Now we have these Phil Jackson rumors coming out. The

1282
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse thing never made any sense from the beginning,

1283
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: because even if they wanted him, they would have had

1284
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: to have made a trade for him. And the last

1285
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: time we saw coachings raid in the NBA, believe was

1286
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers and there was a first round pick involved in.

1287
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: The Lakers have so few assets that are tradeable that

1288
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: it would have made no sense to give up a

1289
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: draft pick for a coach, especially for a team like

1290
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: this that has Lebron James and Anthony Davis on it.

1291
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: Not that a coach isn't important, because it is, but

1292
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: a coach is definitely less important to a Lebron James

1293
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: team than it is to other teams around the league.

1294
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: So that was just like pie in the sky, like

1295
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: insane stuff. I don't know if that was coming from

1296
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Clutch or or what the deal was. But now we

1297
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: have this Phil Jackson news, a guy that's probably watched

1298
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: like four NBA games total in the last eight years,

1299
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna be making advisements about which coach

1300
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: that they should hire. I just you know, and I

1301
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: have Laker fans coming up to me too and saying

1302
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: things like, you know, like, uh, you know, like Phil

1303
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Jackson is one of the greatest coaches of all time.

1304
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. That's great, but he's retired. Like in

1305
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: the game is very different now than from what it

1306
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: was the way it was when he was coaching. And

1307
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: do I think he could make recommendations as it pertains

1308
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: to like like the personality of a head coach. Sure,

1309
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: but the Lakers have an x AS and ose problem,

1310
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: they have an offensive organization problem. Those are things that

1311
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: need to like, what really needs to happen is, you know,

1312
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: Genie Buss needs to find a qualified and competent president

1313
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: of basketball operations and then let him make every single

1314
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: basketball decision. That's literally, it's literally that simple. I've had

1315
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Laker fans be like, who who should Genie consult that guy?

1316
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Find a guy, a smart, currently employed, currently ambitious, currently

1317
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: hard working basketball executive, plug him in as your president

1318
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: of basketball operations, or I don't know, make you can

1319
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: make Rob Bolinka your president of basketball operations if you

1320
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: want to, and put him underneath him. But at the

1321
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, you need your basketball decisions coming

1322
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: from a basketball guy. And Phil Jackson right now is

1323
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: more of a smoke payote guy than he is a

1324
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: basketball guy. And so I just don't understand the point. Yeah, well,

1325
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Jason, I think what you're really

1326
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: under selling is feels ability to light incense in the

1327
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: locker room and give every player a personalized book recommendation

1328
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: so that they can learn about themselves, because that's what

1329
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: he brings the table, and at the end of the day,

1330
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. I think. Yeah, and Lebron

1331
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: would have another stack of books that he'd read the

1332
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: first page of on camera and then not finished. Alright, guys,

1333
