WEBVTT - The Draymond Green Show - Game 7 Reaction, Steph Curry's 50 0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:12.719 The volume. What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:17.400 Green Show. This is the home of a team that 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:22.520 just won Game seven on the road to close out. 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.800 The series against the Sacramento Kings. 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.280 I know it's a lot of y'all out there didn't 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.479 think we could do this, yet here we are. I 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:34.120 know a lot was said about the road record, back 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.440 the back row wins. For those that don't believe the playoffs, 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.200 there's just something different about the playoffs, and you figure 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.760 stuff out and that's what we like to do. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:46.360 It's a lot to talk about. 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.600 Obviously we need to talk about our game, but also 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.000 the rest of the playoffs. Man, the playoffs are really 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.880 heating up, some tough matchups. But first, before we get 0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.800 into all of those things, let's talk about it. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:00.960 Warriors top the. 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.000 Kings one twenty to one hundred. After Golden One Center, 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.800 we lit the bean. There would be no being being 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.680 lit on top of Golden One or wherever that light 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:17.679 is coming from. We lit the bean and it was 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:23.080 absolutely wonderful. Some quick takeaways. Number One, I did not 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.600 think I felt like their crowd was nervous. 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.800 A or B. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.800 Fans may have gotten priced out because it was a 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.000 Game seven and the fans that were there or the 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.720 other games, I just can't in my heart believe that 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:45.160 those were the same fans and saying that the atmosphere 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.639 was still electric, incredible to playing, but I just didn't 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.280 feel like those were the same fans from the previous game. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.720 Could have been and they just really maybe have been 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.520 silenced and knew what happened Game five when they were 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.480 a little over the top and didn't summon that same energy, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.360 and then maybe Steph Curry just sent them night night, 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:12.440 and that's that's what it was. But that was a 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:17.560 little different, at least it felt like, which I've never 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.720 experienced that playing in Game sevens played a Game seven 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.040 and against the Clippers, played in Game seven at Houston 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.720 and now Sack, those are the Game sevens at home 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:34.000 versus the cast at home versus ok See. But that 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.200 just felt a little different. Anyway, let's get into the game. 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:43.320 We need to start no further than the man, the myth, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:49.520 the legend himself, Steph Curry. Fifty points, eight rebound, six assists. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.040 Guy did everything twenty to thirty eight from the field, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:54.960 seventh eighteen from three. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.880 It's so funny because. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.160 That guy is so amazing, so incredible, and after years 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.639 of doing this, like you kind of just know when 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.320 he got that look, you know when he locked in, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.280 and you know when he's just not like losing isn't 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.160 an option. Like there's times where he go in this 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.520 mode where you can't lose, You're not going to lose. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.880 And at no point throughout that game, you know, like 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.520 you go through the game and like you had these 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.480 different emotions and thoughts, and at no point throughout that 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.680 game that I think we were going to lose that game. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:39.160 At no point, Steph was absolutely incredible. Again, just like 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:44.400 Game three, masterful slowed the tempo to the wherever he 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.040 wanted it. When he wanted to push the tempo, tempo 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.360 was gone when he wanted to slow it down, slow 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:54.320 it down, and got to everything that he wanted to 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:59.280 get to. And it was absolutely incredible, incredible to watch, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.720 incredible to be a part of. I'm not sure for 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.840 those of you that didn't watch but are hearing this, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.960 all you needed to see for me was wherever Steph 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.760 Curry was, I was either trying to get him the 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.720 ball with a pass or go set a screen and 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.960 then get out his way and he did the rest 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.160 first time in the history of Game sevens the NBA 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.640 that someone scored fifty points. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.600 How insane is that? 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:35.560 We talked all these great performances Game seven performances, and 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.200 Steph Curry has the best one ever. And as you know, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.360 I'm not a big like, oh man, you score like 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.279 this is great? 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.840 Like whoever scores the most point? Number one? 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.600 Don't anybody just score fifty points in game seven? Hint 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.719 hints the fact it has not been done, or just 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:58.320 go off in Game sevens normally, but like that's goat 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.680 stuff man, like you when you you speak of game seven, 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.320 his name will always be mentioned in the great Game sevens. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.520 And like to go on the road, hostile environment and 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.160 do that against a young team that just called us 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.839 old that just say, you know, we know those guys 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.680 are old. This one, this is short turnaround the last game. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.479 I honestly thought they were looked a little gast to 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:29.440 me as opposed to the old guys looking a little gass, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.279 looked like they ran out of gas and hope and 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:43.040 wins and we move on. But Steph, after Game six, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.640 I saw Tim something that Tim Kawa Kami said, Jackson 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.640 Faye brought it to me from from the podcast from 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.960 the Athletic Tim Kawa Kami. I've known him since I 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.239 got drafted. Here his longtime Bearry sports writer, and he said, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.000 I'm going to read his He said the locker room 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.360 was empty for a while except for Steph Clay and Draymond. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.919 They weren't talking each other. They were just sitting there. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.599 It did feel like they were just kind of summoning energy. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.440 They just kind of were sitting there. I've watched them 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.520 a lot through the years, and I had never really 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.320 seen that. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.080 What was that we all were sitting there. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.719 Number One, we were doing recovery stuff a little longer 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.400 than most, just making sure, you know, you get to 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.880 a point of your career where you dialed in and 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.479 you're gonna do everything, not cut any corners, you know, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.440 every little thing that you can do to maximize recovery, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.000 because in the words of Malik Monk, it was a 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.840 short turnaround, and so you're kind of doing like prepping 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.039 like it's a back to back game, and that's the 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.679 recovery cycle you're going through. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.880 And so number one, we had been doing that. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.720 But then we're just kind of sitting in the locker 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.480 room because like, I'm not gonna lie man. Game six 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.760 that was a gut punch, Like you come out with 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.520 the opportunity to close out a series. It's a young, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:12.320 scrappy team, and they destroyed. They man handled us in 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:19.280 Game six, manhandled and you felt it. And it wasn't 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.560 like a silence of like we're scared, we don't know 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:23.160 what's to come. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:34.960 It was just like damn and that like wow. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.400 And so you're just sitting there thinking and you're replaying 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.280 plays and we're all just kind of sitting in there 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:45.840 and we didn't need to say much. We didn't say much. Ultimately, 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.480 we end up saying all right, fellas, I see y 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:55.760 all tomorrow. But that night, that night, I sent those 0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:00.840 two guys a text message and I just sent them 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.960 some of my thoughts and it was actually a text 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.800 that I was going to send to our group chat, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.680 our team group chat, and I was like, nah, let 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.760 me just text these two guys, and so I text 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:17.120 them too, And of course, in typical Clay fashion, he 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.120 never said a word. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.160 It's typical Clay. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.800 I sent that text at I'll tell you the exact 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.120 time I sent that text, because. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.280 I mean, it's a part of the story, like why 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:32.800 not right? 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:42.120 So I sent that text at three am, I can't 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.959 sleep after games. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.720 Steph text back at. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:53.120 Six I won't read you all of my texts, but 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.760 the first line is so I can't sleep period. Just 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:05.040 finish the film again, period, and then I go into 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.760 some other things. Steph texts back at six am, like, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:15.360 can't sleep either. But let me deliver the message before 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.120 film because he know me, like I'm coming in. I 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.720 got like I haven't slept all night, Like I'm coming in, 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.200 like lock in, motherfuck, he said, But let me deliver 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.000 the message before film, before the coaches come in, before 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.760 film tomorrow, let me deliver. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:33.840 Say no more. 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:42.760 And he delivered such a powerful message. It was, it 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.880 was incredible. It was Listen, we just got embarrassed last night. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.520 We got embarrassed on our home floor. An opportunity to 0:09:52.520 --> 0:10:00.640 close out a team, and we never showed up. He said, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.800 if you getting on this bus, you making a commitment 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.920 to this team. I don't care how many minutes you play. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.720 I don't care if you don't play a single second. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.199 I don't care if it's points, rebounds, whatever it is. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.160 But if you getting on this bus, you are saying 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.719 I am going to do whatever it takes as far 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:29.840 as my preparation goes to win this game. We not 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.280 going out like that like we went out game six. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.000 We not going out like that. We have an opportunity 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.640 to play in game seven. They've rare, they don't come around. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:45.480 Take advantage of the moment, Embrace the moment. And he 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.760 went a little further in, but it was such an 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:52.360 incredible speech. And when he finished, he said, anybody else 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:58.200 got something? Nah, Champ, it's enough said. You said it 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.120 all when he delivered that speech, I can't say I 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.120 knew he was going to come out and get fifty, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.400 but I knew he was gonna come out and do 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.400 something incredible, and I knew there was no way he 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.240 was going to allow us to lose that game. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:26.520 Masterful performance. Go performance again. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.480 Looks like Steph Curry in the NBA Finals. Absolutely incredible. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.560 I'm honored to have been there and been a part 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:42.199 of that. Wow incredible. Cavon Looney twenty one rebounds. I 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.080 said in film yesterday, I said, man Trey Low has 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.480 been punking us. Man Trey Low has been punking everybody, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.160 punked me punk Louan and Lune said after after the film, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.559 he came to me said, Man, Trey Lows, ain't punk me. Man, 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.720 don't be throwing that on my resume. I said, listen, 0:11:55.760 --> 0:12:00.760 Lou show me. Then Loun got a come in rebounds 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.240 in the second half. He said, ain't nobody punking me? 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.600 I said, yeah, Tune. It was so incredible to watch 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:14.280 him dominate his matchup, dominate the gang. 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.600 His offensive rebounds broke their spirit. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.360 You could see it with every single one of them. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.600 As he got them, their spirit just broke a little 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.600 bit more, a little bit more, and a little bit more. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.880 And then Cavan go crash the glass and three guys 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.640 run at him. Somebody else slip in and get offensive rebound. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.280 Our game plan we executed. Coach Kirk text me on 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:44.240 my way home today and he said, that may have 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.920 been the best I've ever seen you guys execute a 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:53.560 game plan. It was so fun to watch the way 0:12:53.600 --> 0:13:00.760 we executed that game. Turnovers, seven turnovers, seven turnovers. You're 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.440 talking about controlling the pace, controlling the tempo, and not 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.320 letting the team get out in transition because they had 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.600 struggled against our hailgh court defense all series, and so 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.160 you you fall into this trap of like, man, they're 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.079 scoring a lot da da da, and you start making 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.360 a bunch of crazy adjustments. But actually, what you've been 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.559 doing been working. What can you clean up? Offensive rebounds? 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.480 We cleaned the rebounding up Cavan Loney twenty one rebounds. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:30.200 I think Wiggs has seven or eight rebounds. I think 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.439 I had six or seven. Clay had maybe seven or 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:38.480 eight rebound. Guys rebounded eight steph eight rebounds. Guys rebounded 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.679 the basketball. And it started with the man in the middle, 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.800 Cavan Looney, holding the fork down. Getting every rebound offensive 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.880 and defensive not only obviously changed the game today, but 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.960 that changed the series. That changed the series. Game three down, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.480 oh two, I'm suspended back against the wall. What does 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.560 he do getting twenty rebounds? Game five pivotal, Game five 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:02.959 tied up to the two on the road. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.840 What does he do? Twenty plus rebounds? 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:11.760 Game seven, biggest stage in basketball, biggest stage in sports. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:20.640 Twenty one rebounds. If you're not impressed, and what are 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.200 we watching? What are we looking at? And what are 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.160 we looking for? So I take my hat off the loom. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.280 Let's not missed the assists he was had all series long. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:37.040 This good decision after good decision after good decision, continuing 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:37.480 to grow. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.600 And that's what you love. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.000 To see guy who's battle test had been through it 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.680 all stand tall no matter what. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.560 I go in the fox hole with him any day, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:47.640 any day. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.880 I was thinking Game five, after Game five, I'm like, man, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.280 you know what everybody forgot? 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.360 Hey forgot? Man, this Wigan. 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.480 That was Wiggans fifth game and two thir and a 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.560 half three. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:02.600 I know everybody forgot. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.880 You want to you know how I know everyone forgot 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:10.120 because I forgot. Tonight he found that aggressiveness. You could 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.600 tell he's gotten his legs back und him. See what 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.800 happens is you see play like a couple of games 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.520 and what usually happens when you return from a long layoffs, 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.160 Like you have a couple of games and then you're 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.480 gonna tank, and then you start to march back up 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.920 and you love and you get back to yourself. And 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.520 he's headed back up. And you saw that aggressiveness tonight. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.120 You saw the offensive rebounds, you saw the defense, you 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.240 saw him locked in. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:36.160 Playoff. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:41.520 Wiggs didn't shoot it particularly well, but the energy lose 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:47.720 mall steals in transition, don't miss the little things. Wiggs 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.800 was huge tonight Clay's aggressiveness, then his shots like he 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:57.480 normally does, even miss two free throws. The aggressiveness, the demonstrativeness, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:03.520 getting into key and murdered, change his things, and obviously 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:04.400 they're not leaving them. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.720 Steph came up to me. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.960 He said, yo, go at like six seconds on the clock, 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.800 come and scream me, but don't scream me, go get Clay. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.000 Clay came off and one three and that felt like 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.760 like that that shot took their heart. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.560 That was like, man, but I'll tell you something. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.760 I know everybody's gonna slander Jordan Poole and been slandering them. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.000 But something I always tell Jordan it's his attitude and 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.200 his demeanor. A lot of people follow that. On this team, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.840 people follow that. And his demeanor tonight was incredible. Seventy 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.320 one sixty four will in a time out. He come 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.400 to time out, he say, hey, man, they getting a 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:48.920 little tight. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:49.320 Now. 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.080 All of a sudden, floaters short shot short, they're getting 0:16:54.120 --> 0:17:00.560 a little tight. Turn the pressure up now, fed off 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:07.040 that energy. It was huge. It was huge. Malik Monk 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.200 got it going early and he shut the water off. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.600 Then the water got shut off. It was tough and 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.439 Fox never really found it today. But before I move on, 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.680 there's a couple more things I want to talk about 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:29.679 with this game. Lost a lot of respect for someponents. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.960 You don't shake guy's hands after you lose. I don't 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.160 respect that. I once left the court when we lost 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.920 in Game seven of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I went 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.359 to my locker room and I sat down and I said, 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.280 this don't feel right. And I walked back out in 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:51.040 the court and I showed everybody love you lost, deal 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:58.399 with it, pay your respect. I I that was whack 0:17:58.480 --> 0:17:58.679 to me. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:00.359 That's whack like. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.520 But I wouldn't necessarily even say lost respect, Like, but 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:13.280 I don't respect that. And that's what however, Sacramento Kings Organization, 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:18.359 Sacramento Kings fan base, Diaron Fox, Malik Monk, Mike Brown 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:19.240 and company. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.679 I gained a lot of respect for I always had 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:24.879 respect for Mike Brown. 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:30.919 And a lot of times in these playoff series, Man, 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:32.679 you lead a series and you're like, man, lost all 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:33.520 respect for that guy. 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:34.960 He get in these series and like. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:41.399 Tighten up, gets soft, like don't embrace the moment, Like 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.520 you lose a lot of respect for guys in these 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.639 playoff series. I'll tell you. I got a lot of 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:52.879 respect for them boys. They showed up Trey Lyles, they fought, 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:59.439 Terrence Davis brothers fought. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.720 Man. I respect Harrison. 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.879 Taking less minutes, less of a role as the leader 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.600 of that team, one of the only few, one of 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.480 the few guys that hasn't has experienced in the playoffs 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:19.320 a champion him in Delhi. Terrence Davis got to go 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:23.960 in these last two games. Harrison ain't play much, demeanor, 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:29.080 was upbeat, still talking to his guys. I can respect that. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.399 I gained a lot of respect for the Sacramento Kings. 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:37.840 So I want to say that that that's not the 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.480 last we'll see of that group. That group gonna have 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.800 to be reckon with for years to come in the NBA, 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.760 and I look forward to the battles, the challenge of it, 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:54.320 the competition, and then someday when we are too old, 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:58.000 monk and we're going on seeing what they can put together. 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:02.159 That's that's it. That's a group that fought, and you 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.720 gotta respect that. I got a lot of respect for 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:09.840 those guys. So I wanted to, you know, say that 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:14.560 because dearon Fox, he had a tough on the night 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:19.560 first game seven, there'll be another opportunity. They had a 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.760 tough on the night, but the way he carried them guys, 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.520 his demeanor, leadership. I told y'all when me and him 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.040 got into our back and forth that what game was? 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:33.800 The first game I got back? Game four? 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.280 We got into it because I said something to keep 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:43.199 a murdy. He stepped right in. I can respect that. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.040 So many guys that y'all think it's him wouldn't say 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:51.199 nothing for that guy. I can respect that. So I 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.840 got a lot of respect, man. Those guys earned my respect. 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:59.040 Congratulations to the Sacramento Kings. Vivek round of DV, Neil 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:07.320 Run of DV, Mike Brown on down Fox players. 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:08.600 Nothing but respect man. 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.560 Like I said, those guys will They'll have to be 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.320 dealt with as they continue on their journey. 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.480 As we move forward. It is a quick turnaround. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.080 It is already Sunday night and we played the Lakers 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:23.240 on Tuesday evening. 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:27.560 I mean just my initial thoughts. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.200 Obviously haven't gotten a chance to watch film on them yet, 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:34.960 but they're playing very good basketball. D'Angelo at the point, 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.960 Austin Reeves, whichever one you consider the point guard. 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:40.480 They both have a lot of ball handling the responsibilities. 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.359 Austin Reeves been playing lights out for the past two 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:47.080 and a half months. D'Angelo Russell found his stroke those 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:52.239 last couple of games against Memphis. Rui Hachamara has been 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:57.800 playing great basketball. Jared Vanderbilt Swiss Army knife does it all. Obviously, 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:03.560 you got Lebron James at the four. Goes without saying, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:09.000 Anthony Davis at the five, goes without saying, Troy Brown 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.600 coming off the bench. Rui's been coming off the bench 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:16.160 as well, Uh, giving these guys great minutes. Malik Beasley 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:20.520 coming in shooting, hadn't found his stroke, but he's a 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.000 shooter and you gotta respect that. 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.320 And at any moment, you know he can get going. O. G. 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:32.600 D ham sacking off matchup, baby, looking forward to that. 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:35.800 It'll be a tough matchup. 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.040 You know, this team has been playing better basketball, as 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:41.760 good or better basketball as anybody in the league since 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:47.000 the trade deadline. They are a complete team. The vibes 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.680 around the team is great. They play really good brand 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:53.919 of basketball. They defend, Uh they have they present some 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:57.879 challenges on the offensive end as well. It'll be up 0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:00.320 to us to meet that force with four. You know, 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.240 they're gonna rebound the basketball. They've done that incredibly well. 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.760 And then also for us to get into the things 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.359 that we're gonna need to get into from an offensive standpoint, 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.080 you can't allow them to turn you over and get 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.960 out in transition. They're tough in transition as anybody is. 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.520 Ad has been playing out of his mind defensively. I 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.760 think he average five and a half blocks of game 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.680 last series over the course of six games. That's incredible, 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.520 you know. So it's a really good team. It'll be 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:33.199 a tough matchup. Uh. You know, they do play a 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.000 lot of size, you know, and so a lot of length. 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:40.359 They have Jared Vanderbilt's garden point guards at six ' nine, 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:42.520 you know, so they play a lot of length. 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.600 It'll be a chess match, as it always is. 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.960 Steve Kurz great and those always trust the Steve in 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:53.960 a chess match, you know, and he was great in 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.520 this past series. He's always been great. So I'm looking 0:23:56.560 --> 0:24:00.680 forward to actually getting our game planning tomorrow. But it'll 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.639 be a good series. And then obviously, you know, you 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.960 got step versus Lebron the first time we've seen this 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:12.679 since two thousand and eighteen, and it's also and it's 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.520 the very first time we've we've seen this before the 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.600 NBA Finals. I'm not sure if there's ever been a 0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:22.240 Warriors Lakers matchup or meaningful matchup at any point in this, 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:23.760 you know, playoffs. 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:28.200 I'm excited about this. I'm really excited about this. 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:32.400 You know, it's the Lakers's Los Angeles and it's the 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:33.680 motherfucking Doves. 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:34.080 Baby. 0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:39.560 Gotta love it, gotta appreciate it, Bay Area stand up. 0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.320 So I'm looking forward to this matchup. It'll be a 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:47.840 hard fort matchup. They're not laying down. We're not laying down. 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.840 You know, they got they gotta go, We gotta go. 0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:58.480 Gotta love it. I'm looking forward to it. Before we 0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:01.400 get out of here, the heat go up. One on 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:05.680 the Knicks. Stephen A'sworth's nightmare. Stephen A much loved my brother. 0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:09.520 Good luck to your Knicks. Jimmy Butler is still playing 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.000 out of his mind. I wouldn't necessarily say out of 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.200 his mind, because Jimmy has shown to be that guy, 0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:20.240 you know, so, but he's playing incredible basketball. It'd be 0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:22.800 interesting to see if Julius Randal gets back for a 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.120
