59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: let's get into the game. You said it there, Chris

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: Paul leading the Suns past the Clips one thirty one

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: oh three, headed to his first NBA Finals and the

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: first finals for the Suns. Task you know a long

63
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: long time. What's you think of the game?

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: This is? This is simple for me. That was cool.

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: I thought that second half Chris Paul, the way he

66
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: did it was super duper cool. The first half, you know,

67
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: he wasn't spectacular. He had ten points in the first half,

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: but when he checked in late in the third quarter

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 4: one forty three left, it was clear he was going

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: to take over. He took all the shots at the

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: end of the third quarter for the Suns in their

72
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: half court sets, banged them all home, and then in

73
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter just hitting shot after shot after shot,

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: nineteen points in the fourth quarter. He ended this series

75
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: like he ended the Nuggets series with a bang. Thirty

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: one points in the second half, the most he's ever

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: had in any half of NBA basketball. That's pretty freaking

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: neat to go into your NBA Finals, appear in your

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: first NBA Finals appearance like that. Forty one eight assists,

80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: zero turnovers when all of a sudden done. That has

81
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: never been matched in a Western Conference finals history, any

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: conference finals history. Thanks to Haberstrow for that forty one

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: it is zero turnovers. It's just perfect Chris Paul. That

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: is what he does. He takes care of the basketball.

85
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: So it's just fitting going into his first finals. He

86
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: said postgame, he never gave up trying to get to

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: his first finals. Then he said, but the big reason

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: he was there in Phoenix was the light skinned guy

89
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 4: right over there, Number one, Devin Booker and It was

90
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 4: cool that book started the series with the forty spot

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: and Chris Paul ended it with a forty spot. They

92
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: book ended it, and you know, you just start thinking

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: about everybody's stories when all the celebrations happened. Obviously, Chris

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: Paul sixteenth season, everything he fought through at all, the

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 4: you know, the takes on him that he's not clutch

96
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: and he's coming through now, you know, he just needed

97
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: an incredible psychkick and here they go. Devin Bookers zero

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: playoff games in his first five seasons. Now he's going

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: to the finals. Jay Crowder back to back finals with

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: different teams with the heat last year, real Danny Green situation.

101
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: Monty Williams, you know, losing his life or his wife

102
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: excuse me in twenty sixteen, and the way he persevered

103
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 4: with five children to be here. Him and Chris Paul,

104
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 4: their relationship going back to Monty Williams first job in

105
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: ten to eleven when they were the New Orleans Hornets.

106
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: What I forgot about that that they were called the

107
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 4: New Orleans Ones. Their embraced postgame was something, you know.

108
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: Downdre eight and the number one pick in the twenty

109
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: eighteen draft, the guy shot nearly seventy percent in this series.

110
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: That's nuts eighteen and fourteen for him. Dario sarch you

111
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: know his journey. He was a euro Star, but then

112
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: he was on the Sixers. Couldn't figure out where spot

113
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: was that he went to the Wolves. Is he lost

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: in this league? But we all knew he was a

115
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: tough ass dude. Now he's playing for the Suns. Mckel

116
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: Bridges drafted by the Sixers. Just another Sixers shot there.

117
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Abdul Nader trying to be the first Egyptian to win

118
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: an NBA title. Shout out to al Abs and I'll

119
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: be campaign dropped by his last three teams, the Bulls,

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: the Cavs, Raptors. He went to China, went to the

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: G League, nearly out of the league. He had a

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: game high twenty nine points in Game two of the

123
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: Western Conference Finals. So just all these stories. It's a

124
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: bunch that led by Chris Paul that you know, maybe

125
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: you wouldn't like, but also you know you left to hate,

126
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: but he got.

127
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: To love as well.

128
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: There's lots of stories there. So those are the stories

129
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 4: that we're going to be talking about the next week.

130
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: And you know, even though it feels like We know

131
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: everything about these players. There's already stories about Chris Paul

132
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: playing two years a JV that nobody knew about.

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: And so that's the fun part of this next week,

134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: just celebrating these dudes.

135
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trey heading into this game. At the end of

136
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: Yesterday's Daily Show, you were like, Chris Paul's got to

137
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: play better. He's been sort of bad since he's come back.

138
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: You know, they won those two games without him. He

139
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: can't hit a shot. He's got to be instrumental in

140
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: this game. Six put away, this series, go to your

141
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: first finals, and he did that. I don't know if

142
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: he caught the show, but he definitely came through in

143
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: the clutch there, like Task took us through. He was impressive,

144
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: especially when the Clippers cut it to seven. They hit

145
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: a couple threes there. It's like, whoa, They're right back

146
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: in this. You can never count this team out. And

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: then Chris Paul said, no, no, no, no, I'm healthy

148
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: for the first time in a long time here in

149
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: a critical game. We're just gonna end this. He was

150
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: amazing down the stretch there, and Cousins was awesome for

151
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: the clips and scoring. But my god, where they like

152
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: we're just gonna pick on the big guy here.

153
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Chris Paul was awesome in the second half, and

154
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: like Task was saying, it was very capital c cool

155
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 5: to see basically him antagonizing Patrick Beverley to go to

156
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: his first finals in front of the Clippers fans. Very

157
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 5: funny to me that he shouted out Billy Crystal after

158
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: the game. I mean, Billy Crystal, the biggest Clippers fan

159
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: out there, so that was hilarious. But I also thought

160
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: Chris Paul, you could tell from the jump that he

161
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: was going to be playing a little bit differently in

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 5: the first half, Like Tassa had only ten points, but

163
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: he had four assists and he got DeAndre Ayton going

164
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 5: ten points seven rebounds.

165
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: In the first half.

166
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: For DeAndre Ayton, it felt like Chris Paul was getting

167
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 5: into the picking rolls a little quicker and making it

168
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 5: a point to get eight in the ball inside eight

169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 5: and played with a ton of force That made the

170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 5: Clippers kind of have to play DeAndre or DeMarcus Cousins

171
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 5: a little bit with Zubots being out, and once that

172
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: was the case, once Cousins had to be sticking eight

173
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: and rolling in the lane, Chris Paul's jumper.

174
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 3: It was there.

175
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: And you know, he didn't shoot a lot of threes

176
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 5: through the first couple of rounds here after he hurt

177
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 5: his shoulder against the Lakers, but he built up enough

178
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: strength from shooting all those mid rangers to finally start

179
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 5: hitting some threes, and you could just tell he was

180
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 5: locked in. The coolest of games that Chris Paul has

181
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 5: ever had. I think he would have to say sending

182
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 5: the Suns into the Finals wearing the Orange jerseys, that's

183
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 5: on the list for a jersey that's gonna stick around

184
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 5: in NBA history, even if it's not a classic jersey.

185
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 5: So yeah, special stuff from Chris Paul to raise the

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 5: level of the Suns and to basically say we're not

187
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: losing this one. We're not going back to Phoenix and

188
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 5: having to win it in seven here. So caps off

189
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 5: to Chris Paul. And that was a giant hat that

190
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 5: man had on celebrating his Finals appearance. That is the

191
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 5: biggest hat I've ever seen. It was like almost like

192
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 5: one of those Russian hats, but it had a bill

193
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 5: on it as well.

194
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 3: He deserved it. He could have worn it over ahead

195
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: like our headphones that we have on right now. Ley

196
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: went just think of the game and Chris Paul going

197
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: his first finals here.

198
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Clippers weren't going to give up.

199
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: But as Tyleru sort of said afterwards, he felt that

200
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: even in that first half, they showed a few mental

201
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: errors that sort of lead you to believe that all

202
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: these this incredible playoffrun they've gone on did sort of

203
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 2: start to catch up with them and they needed another

204
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: huge effort if they're going to get back into this one.

205
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: But Chris Paul just was not going to let that happen.

206
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: It was like, you know what, I am closing this

207
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: series out here tonight, taking any chances. He hadn't been

208
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: good in this series up and to that point, but

209
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: then he was like, there's just no way I want

210
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: to give the Clippers any more life and any more

211
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: chance in this series. And I think you could just

212
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: start to see it. The Clippers were just like, man,

213
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: we've done a lot, We've accomplished a lot, coming down

214
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: back from a lot in all three series here, we've

215
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: kind of been written off. We haven't had a chance

216
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: to sort of just just to get a little rest

217
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: in at any point, and it was, you know, it

218
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 2: was going to be a factor at some point. And

219
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: you know when they as the lead sort of piled

220
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: up there to fifteen, then eighteen, and then twenty points,

221
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: you could just sort of sense that they were like,

222
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen tonight. So, you know, I

223
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: like the Sons deserve all the credit this morning, especially

224
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: Chris Paul, but honestly, the Clippers have really I think

225
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 2: improved their reputation as well, because where you where the

226
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: playoff started, when they dropped those first two games at

227
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 2: home to the Mavericks, and I was like, man, what

228
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: a joke this franchise is, and these players are to

229
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: get to this point where you know, they forced the

230
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: game six. I mean, they could have given up in

231
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: game five, but they didn't again without Kawhi Leonard there,

232
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: I think was so impressive. So I think Tyler's done

233
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: a great job. Paul George did a great job. You know,

234
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: younger players like Terrence Man, he you know, he had

235
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: some performances throughout the playoffs that were great, but it

236
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: was just one too many mountains to climb last night.

237
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: And credit to the Suns. They deserved it. They've been fantastic,

238
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: these entire players, and when you think about what happened

239
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: in Game one of their playoffs against the Lakers. You know,

240
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: we wondered maybe Chris Paul might have, you know, done

241
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: some other injury and that the Sons might not have

242
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: even got out of that first round, but he did,

243
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: so I think. You know, even if you're a Chris

244
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: Paul hater, and there are still still some out there,

245
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: that's fine.

246
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: But he doesn't make it easy sometimes when he all

247
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 3: does classic flop like he did last night, Cousins.

248
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: But if you're a basketball fan, you have to respect that.

249
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: You know, what this guy has given to the game

250
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: over his years. I mean, and at thirty six to

251
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: be doing what he's doing, you know, playing at this

252
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: level is an incredible effort and incredible feat. You know,

253
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: he's bounced around a couple of teams. He's been a superstar,

254
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: and then it's kind of been like, you know, he

255
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: had a year in Oklahoma City, which we will get like,

256
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: you know, they made the playoffs, they took the Rockets

257
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: to seven games there, but it's like Chris Paul Oklahoma City,

258
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: that's where he's sort of has taken him. Now he

259
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: finally gets a chance to make it to the NBA

260
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: Finals where the Sun's going his favorite. I definitely think

261
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: no matter who they played, they have homecourt advantage regards

262
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: actly they've got. They've got at least a week off here.

263
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: These other teams have got to play minimum two more games,

264
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: and both of those teams have got their superstar banged up.

265
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: So I'm really happy for Chris Paul. I just think

266
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: he finally got to where he deserves to go and

267
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: it didn't collapse for him as it has done in

268
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: the past where he's led three one or he's blown

269
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: things at the end of games. Instead, Chris Paul it

270
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: went in his way and he took control of that game.

271
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: So I think it was great to see.

272
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: What did you think, Lely of when things did get

273
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 3: a little trippy there, and I guess it was going

274
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 3: into a timeout with about six minutes to go. I

275
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: still don't know if Chris Paul said anything. I think

276
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: he just stared at Patrick Beverly. And now these two

277
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: have a long history of getting into it with each

278
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 3: other and they're both sort of hot heads and all that,

279
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: but you know, Beverly's pissed off and just shoves Chris

280
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: Paul in the back and down he goes, which maybe

281
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: that wouldn't fair, you know, a decent shove, but down

282
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: go Chris Paul and he gets tossed. But I know

283
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: you you are always pointing out sometimes you're frustration with

284
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: a guy like Patrick Beverly, But what do you think

285
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: of that one.

286
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: Like that he deserved to be ejected? And you know,

287
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: I mean like, because there's nothing in that play that

288
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: like Chris Paul. I looked at it. I don't think

289
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: he said. I don't think he gave him a little

290
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: smirk and a.

291
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: Little like you know, it's sometimes worse, isn't it saying?

292
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? But the way that Beverly reacted was complete bush

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: league play, you know, shoving a guy from behind full

294
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: force like that as well, there's no quoe. I don't

295
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: know what took him so long to eject him, just like,

296
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: just just get the out.

297
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 3: You're an idiot, get out of here.

298
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: There's no room for that in basketball.

299
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: You know, we should get suspended. No, I think you

300
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: should get played for next season.

301
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was I was thinking like a

302
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: game or two, but the fact that this season ended,

303
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: maybe that just sort of gives it. I mean, Andrew

304
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: Biden got seven games. I think didn't he for that

305
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: thing on JJ Burress, So maybe he gets a game

306
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: or two there. But the thing with Patrick Beverley's he

307
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: has had some good moments in the play for the

308
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: Clippers against the Suns. Yeah he did, you know, he

309
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: was good against Devin Booker. But then he just does

310
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: these brainless, unnecessary, stupid things, which makes it very hard

311
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: to sort of respect him because he's crossed the line there.

312
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: You know, you just don't do that. You don't do

313
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: that in the time out when you're losing, you know,

314
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: to this other star player like that. That's just such

315
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: a it's a punk move and he deserves to be

316
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: punished for it more so than just getting ejected. So

317
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: we'll see. It's just he does leave such a bad

318
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: taste in your mouth because this guy does have things

319
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: that he can do to impact the game, but he

320
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: does that. No one respects that. Nobody respects a player

321
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: who does that on the court. So I'm glad he

322
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: got tossed, and yeah, I hope he does get suspended

323
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: for a game will two.

324
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah what did g Crater said after the game, said,

325
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: like we knew we broke them there? Yeah, I mean

326
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: they did Yeah, they're clearly frustrated, and it was over,

327
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: and Chris Paula had been doing his Chris paul things,

328
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: getting under their skin and obviously hitting and shot after

329
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: shot in their face, so you could see why you'd

330
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: be frustrated. I'm not saying, you know, he shouldn't be

331
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: suspended a game or two or whatever it is, because yeah,

332
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: as a joke, I mean, that's also the classic Beverly

333
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: plays up the tough guy, but then he's going to

334
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: push the guy in the back while he's walking away.

335
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: It's like, come on, yeah, anyway, what did you think

336
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: of that? TK just quickly of Beverly going crazy throwing

337
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: to take his jersey off Rodman style. I did like

338
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: that at least. Yeah, I guess he took his jersey off. Yeah,

339
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: he deserved to get ejected. I don't know.

340
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: It was a long time coming. Exactly what Jay Crowder said.

341
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 5: We knew he broke him. That's a great feeling, and

342
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: many teams have had that feeling against Patrick Beverly. It

343
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: seems like that's the way he goes out of the

344
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 5: playoffs doing something that makes him look like a fool.

345
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: So not a surprise.

346
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 5: Chris paul one of the few guys who can be

347
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: so irritating to get under Patrick Beverly's skin. That's pretty crazy,

348
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: and you know Chris Paul will make it root against

349
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: Patrick Beverly. Also impressive, but yeah, weak sauce, as they're

350
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 5: saying in the stream team the sauce.

351
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: It was bad mcmhmmon I saw writing Chris Paul was

352
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: the most accomplished player in NBA history to have never

353
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: appeared on a final st age. Now he's going, So

354
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: that's uh, obviously well earned and that is now not

355
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: his title to bear. He had the most All Star appearances,

356
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: most all NBA selections, started the most playoff games, scored

357
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: the most career points of anyone without a finals appearance.

358
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: So I asked on Twitter this morning, like, who takes

359
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: that title? Now? Who's the Who's the best player? I

360
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: was thinking currently, but you can go all time if

361
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: you want. Does anybody pop into your head tasks who

362
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: now takes that? That? Again, that title away from Chris

363
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: Paul best player to never make a finals. There are

364
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people saying Steve Nash, you know, Hollinger

365
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: even was like, well what about Giannis? Right? Still currently

366
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: as the as the one of the greatest players ever

367
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: to never make one anyone.

368
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 4: Else that comes to mind test that's solid. I don't know,

369
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: I didn't read the replies to your tweets, any good

370
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: ones out there.

371
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean I would obviously Anthony.

372
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: People were saying just the longevity of his career and.

373
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: And not getting that. Yeah, I think as well, he's

374
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: probably getting to that point as well. I mean he's

375
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: he's how many old STY games seven or right?

376
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was, like I said to Hollander, I was like,

377
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: I understand, like John, this is a great call. I mean,

378
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: he's a two time MVP for crying outloud and has

379
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,239
Speaker 3: a lot of accolades already. But it's like, I think

380
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: people are saying him because he's only played like eight seasons.

381
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he still got time.

382
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: It just feels like still young in his career. Uh

383
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: and maybe because he's two games away from possibly going

384
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: to the finals anyway. Uh but yeah, mellow, Like I

385
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: think there was a couple of George Gervins out there.

386
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: McGrady M Yeah, yeah, not really, but yeah, anyway, I

387
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: thought it was a fun little Twitter back and forth

388
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 3: with a couple of people out there throwing it out

389
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: consensus seemed to be like like all time. There are

390
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: a lot of people were saying Nash for sure, and

391
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: I think that's again just because he's got two MVPs ye,

392
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: stuff like that. But anyone else try then that we're forgetting.

393
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. But the one name that popped

394
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 3: into my head instantly Mark Price, facitating.

395
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 5: I know that that's not the right answer, dociating reason.

396
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 5: I was thinking Mark Rice, but I think Steve Nash

397
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: is probably the right call.

398
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: I guess Chris, Chris Webber, you know, would be on

399
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: the list. People are saying the joker, you'll getch here

400
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: if you're going current DA player and you're putting them

401
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: in this sort of like yeah Lillard Giannis category, sure, sure, sure,

402
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: this is Chris.

403
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: Paul making it at thirty. Yeah, yeah, exact, put guys

404
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: in there twenty.

405
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: I agree.

406
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: I agree the flow a little bit. Yes, I got Zion,

407
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: I got Zion at the Mite, Yeah, Luca for sure.

408
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 3: Rel anyway, anyway, so very happy for Chris Paul getting there,

409
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: and we'll see if if they can win four more.

410
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 3: I can't think of thinking back, and I know he

411
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: wasn't on the team, but like how just perfect. It

412
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: was that the Suns got invited to the bubble, Like

413
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: go back to last year, like remember there, what were

414
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: they six games back from making even the playoffs of course,

415
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: or the play in game there in the bubble, and

416
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: they're still invited because you know, we got to have

417
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: some teams there and they're technically still in it and

418
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 3: they go eight. No, but they talked about, like even

419
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: in this season, like wow, how important that was? You

420
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: know those were like those were do or die games

421
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: and they just strung eight together and Booker the game winner,

422
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: and like it actually had some impact. And then of

423
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: course you had Chris Paul. But it's just wild to think,

424
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: like no one would have cared whether or not they

425
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: were invited Trey, Like nobody. We wouldn't have been like, what,

426
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: how are the Sun's not there? But you know, yeah,

427
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: we were like this is ridiculous. We're taking twenty two

428
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: teams at this point. Crazy.

429
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 5: We're less than a year removed from Draymond Green saying

430
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 5: that Devin Booker needs to get out of Phoenix because

431
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 5: he doesn't have enough help. Right, whoops, right, not a

432
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 5: great call there by Draymond Green turns out bringing in

433
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 5: a Hall of Famer helped them. But man, super impressive

434
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 5: stuff and super impressive Jay Crowder showed up hit some

435
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: threes last night. The guys that they brought in as

436
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 5: veterans to add to the eight and no Bubble team

437
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 5: showed up exactly when they needed to.

438
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean things went. I do think the Clippers

439
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: ran out of gas. And you said it to Lee

440
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: like you've been saying this sort of throughout the series.

441
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: That was their fifteenth game in twenty nine days. That's

442
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: hell a lot.

443
00:19:59,600 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: Oka.

444
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, though, test, do the Clippers

445
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: win the series of Kawhi leon plays.

446
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: Maybe they have a great shot. It's their best players,

447
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: so yeah, it's quite possible. I'm not going down the

448
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: path of you know, the Suns missed guys, missed the

449
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: best players on the other team that they faced through

450
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: the playoffs. Can't do it, won't do it. I watched

451
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 4: the Raptors win a championship against you know, Kevin durantless

452
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: and Clayless Warriors team. In the end, best team wins,

453
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: that's it. Obviously, the Clippers were better with Kawhi Leonard,

454
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 4: and they're better with Kawhi Leonard up in a suite

455
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 4: instead of him joining them on the bench. Get him

456
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: out of eh. Yeah, he finally joined the bench for

457
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: game six. Yeah, Paul George ran out of gas. I

458
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: don't think there's any doubt. He played by far the

459
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 4: most minutes in the playoffs, and he had so much

460
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 4: on his back, and yeah, throughout the roster, I mean

461
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 4: they were broke. Can buy game two a little bit

462
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 4: as well. I mean they continued to fight back after

463
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 4: that deadre eight and Alley Oop on their head. They

464
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: they were very, very, very impressive. But you know, the

465
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: Suns didn't fight in game five when they were up

466
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: three to one. They'd never been in a situation like that,

467
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: a lot of their guys, I know, they haven't been

468
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: in a lot of situations.

469
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: But they're up three to one, looks like they're roll

470
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: into the finals.

471
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: And they gave away that first half in game five

472
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 4: where you know, they're allowing Marcus Morris to get the

473
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: matchup he wanted against Devin Booker, and then you see

474
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 4: how they turned around in game six. We're gonna We're

475
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 4: gonna play how we want to play. We want to dictate.

476
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: So how about Jay Crowder on Marcus Morris instead of

477
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: Devin Booker. That's a good idea. I have a defensive

478
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: player and he got physical with him, and he and

479
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 4: he slowed their flow and Chris Paul getting them into

480
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 4: their sets a little bit more.

481
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: So, Yeah, we can. We can play the what if

482
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: game with Kawhi.

483
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 4: That's that's definitely a reason for the Clippers to to

484
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: think back on this series and think what if. But

485
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 4: they gave it absolutely everything they had and they were

486
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: they were the second best team in the series.

487
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what it comes down to.

488
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 4: You got to I'm through in those little clutch crunch

489
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: time moments and it didn't happen in Game two, and that's,

490
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 4: you know, always one of those hinge moments you look

491
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: back at. Oh yeah, and you think, man, maybe if

492
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: DeMarcus Cousins moves one foot to his right, maybe Jay

493
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 4: Crowder can't make that person pass. Maybe this is a

494
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: different series.

495
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Jay here in the stream. Team injuries

496
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: are part of every postseason. True, are they worth noting?

497
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Sure?

498
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: But it's not an asterisk. And yeah, the Suns have

499
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: benefited from some unfortunate injuries to other key players in

500
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: every series, rightly, I mean, I'm not just noting that

501
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis of course banged up in the first series.

502
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: No Jamal Murray at all for the Nuggets their second

503
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: best player by a mile in the second series, and

504
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: then yeah, no Kawhi Leonard at all their best player.

505
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 3: I think they do win the series of Kauile under plays,

506
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 3: but again that's just because we know how dominant Kawhi

507
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 3: is and it's I think it's still a great series.

508
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: I still think it's a well hard fought series, but

509
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: I think the Clippers would ultimately win. I mean, they're

510
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 3: missing their best player, but then again, Chris Paul didn't

511
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: play the first two and the Sons pulled it out,

512
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: so those were instrumental.

513
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and last year on a pod, I think I

514
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: went through the last twenty years of putting an asterisk

515
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: on every chance, and you know you can you can

516
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: continue to do that. I think Doc Rivers said, if

517
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: Kendrick Perkins doesn't get injured in twenty ten, I think

518
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: he thinks the Celtics going to win that champion because

519
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 2: his best five never lost a playoff series. So yeah,

520
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: it's unfortunately, it is just a part of the game

521
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: that sometimes these things happened. I mean go back to

522
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight Isaiah Thomas when he rolled his ankle.

523
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: They were going to win that championship in six games,

524
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: lose in seven because of that ankle injury. He could

525
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: barely play there in Game seven. So that throughout the

526
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: entire history of the NBA, there's been instances of when

527
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: you know, a team has had a significant injury to

528
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: a player and it has potentially tilted the finals of

529
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: the deciding series one way or the other. That's just

530
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: the way it goes, and ultimately you talk about it

531
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: in the time, but then you do just sort of

532
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: look back and say, well, yeah, look the Raptors won

533
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: the championship when Kevin Durant came back, and remember it

534
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: he blew out his achilles and Klay Thompson injured his

535
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: knee in Game six as well. So there's always sort

536
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: of a way you can sort of point to an

537
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: injury at some point that may or may not have

538
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: impacted a series. But the Sun's you know, if Qui plays,

539
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: maybe the Clippers win, maybe they don't. The Sons have

540
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: been very good all season long, you know, they've been

541
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: good at both ends of the floor, so maybe it

542
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: is a tighter series perhaps, although it was it was

543
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: actually a fairly tight series still, so who knows you can? Yeah,

544
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: you can certainly have that conversation all day long. But

545
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter because the Suns win and they go

546
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: on to the finals.

547
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: Here's a question, Trey. I don't know if we're gonna

548
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: get tickets for Game six of the Eastern Conference Finals

549
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: head back down to the Fortress. But if we do

550
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: and the Hawks hit a big shot, will we be

551
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: celebrating like Steve Balmer? Will you be grabbing my thigh

552
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 3: uncomfortably squeezing legs? Oh, yes, it's I'm going high on

553
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: the thigh at game sex here. I met you on Twitter.

554
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 5: I have one friend in my life who celebrates exactly

555
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 5: like this, like a hard squeeze on the leg. He's

556
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 5: also the only guy I know who's still in our

557
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 5: late thirties loves to like Tappy in the nuts.

558
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: Adiculous guy. Uh. He's on Twitter. He has responded to

559
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: my tweet. This man was in my wedding.

560
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 5: We had to tell him back in college. We're like, man,

561
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 5: stop squeezing our legs so hard. It really hurts, and

562
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 5: it catches us off guard because you're never expecting it,

563
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 5: and then we had to put like a twenty year ban,

564
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 5: twenty year friendship ban on nutshots. You know, this fella

565
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 5: took down another fellow outside of a restaurant once upon

566
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 5: a time with a straight up nasty shot to the hibberts,

567
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 5: and we're like, all right, guys, we're.

568
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: Thirty five years old at this point. We can't be

569
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: hitting each other in the nuts anymore. But that's the difference.

570
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: None of us are multiple billionaires. Steve Baumer never had

571
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: to have that conversation, so he's able to keep celebrating

572
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: like that. That is the difference, my guard. It's so weird,

573
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: you see.

574
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the rub when he goes downwards. That's part.

575
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

576
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: I mean even like you're talking about your buddy who

577
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 4: does the old claw of the quadrus set. You know,

578
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 4: it kind of gets your reflexes in your knee and

579
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 4: you're like going, You're like, well, you know, I get that,

580
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 4: I get that, been there, done that. You know I

581
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 4: had I had a baseball coach do that to me time.

582
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, you're a weirdo. But then the next

583
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: level is the rubbed down. That's the really strange part.

584
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 4: He gets in, he gets in his little squeeze. Okay,

585
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: that's funny, but then this like the double rub he goes,

586
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: he goes, squeeze, squeeze, and then runned down for a

587
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 4: little massage. I mean that's the weird, well, I mean

588
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 4: super weird part.

589
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: It is weird. This is this is like even weird

590
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: for him. And that's saying something because anytime they show

591
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: this man clapping or excited for his team, like he

592
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: that even looks weird. He claps weird to me, Like,

593
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 3: so this was just next level. I've never seen this tray.

594
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see it down at the Fortress. I'll

595
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: make sure I don't wear shorts that night. That's very dangerous.

596
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 3: But uh man, that that's that's an all time gift

597
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: right there, or weird weird billionaire moment at the very leastly.

598
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't remember who it was on Twitter, but

599
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: someone said deep Bama committing multiple h.

600
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a lot of lawsuits happening.

601
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: There because you see the guy with the hat kind

602
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 2: of like grabs him like on the one hand away. Yeah,

603
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: he's like he's like, come on, stave, he come on,

604
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: get that knocked that off.

605
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it gets weirder every time I watch it.

606
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but listen, I guess you don't become the eleventh

607
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: richest person in the world if you're normal. You've got

608
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: to be a bit weird. And you know this is

609
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: this is a part of it.

610
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: I want to try and make like uh uh yeah,

611
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: seize the day. Should now be squeezed the thigh. That's

612
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: like I should have started our days forget embraced the day.

613
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: Good morning, sweet world. It's all squeezed the thigh task.

614
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: That's what I want you to do today, right, like

615
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: the most of it. Squeeze a couple of thighs. If

616
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: you get any other things to add to uh to

617
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: the suns when We'll get to Paul George a little

618
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 3: bit later in the show, because I do have something

619
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: I want to talk about with him. But the celebration,

620
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 3: you said, yeah, the Billy christ I mean, I thought

621
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: the postgame celebration was mad weird, Like Chris Paul was

622
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: obviously super excited, but he was all over the place

623
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: his emotions. We're going pin ping, pink, pink pink. Little

624
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: Wayne was there under the rope at one point, then

625
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: suddenly back outside on the other side of the rope

626
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 3: and you said the Billy Crystal. I mean, yeah, any

627
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: other favorite moments, giant hats and just strange there are

628
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 3: pots they're very excited. Go ahead.

629
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: You know we sort of always talk about it a

630
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: little bit. Yesterday on the show too, you had an

631
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: Alex Lennhawk's jersey to Rashid Wallace jersey. I want to

632
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: see someone just wearing the conference champion's shirt when they

633
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: didn't go on to win the championship. Like I want

634
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: to see a fan okay, you know we're wearing like

635
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: one last year for example, like Miami Heat Eastern Conference champions.

636
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: I want to see someone wearing that around because they

637
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: simply exist for one day and that's it. You never

638
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: see them ever, do you, Like you never ever see

639
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: anybody going, man, yeah, man, we that what a great

640
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: year we almost won.

641
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: I mean I want to see, like I don't know,

642
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: Devin Booker or Bridges show up to Game one of

643
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals and their tunnel is that wearing that

644
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: shirt or hat?

645
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: I mean I get the celebration restart, like yeah you

646
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: going to the Phons, but I just don't get the

647
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: T shirts still in the hat It's like, this is

648
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: irrelevant now basically because it's you're not going to celebrate

649
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: it if you don't win the championship. If you win

650
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: the championship, then who cares about the conference championship. That's

651
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: not what you're winning.

652
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: It's just for photos, and hey, let's give this what

653
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: I still think is a very nice looking trophy. I

654
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: think it looks great and crusted. But yeah, it is

655
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: weird to maybe great. Pointly that the T shirts are

656
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: produced and they're handed out and everybody wants one at

657
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: the time. They do it the re least task.

658
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: So I saw that video of Frank Kaminsky chugging a

659
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: beer through a sunroof or something in a mini parade.

660
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: That wasn't going back to Phoenix last night. That was

661
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: an old video, right.

662
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: I thought it was last time last night.

663
00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm just confirming.

664
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: I assumed it was them arriving back like Phoenix.

665
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, and then and then people waiting for that,

666
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah he hit the sunroom.

667
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're celebrating. You don't see that very often.

668
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were really celebrating.

669
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: It did feel like, but those people are buying Western

670
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 5: Conference Finals championships, for sure.

671
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's good.

672
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Fair.

673
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I saw a lot of Lakers fans like saying, oh, hey,

674
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: look at this clip. But the times the Lakers won

675
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals, they don't even look at the trophy.

676
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: They don't touch it, they don't care. You know, job's

677
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: not finished and all that. It's like, okay, yeah, I mean,

678
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: it's a different circumstance. I believe they had just been

679
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: to the finals, this one that was making its way

680
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: around Twitter like they had. They had been to the

681
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: finals the year before, obviously had lost, and we're like,

682
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: come on, we got to go get this done. It's

683
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: it's a little different than a lot of these guys,

684
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: especially Chris Paul making it for the first time ever.

685
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: I don't think you should go overboard celebrating a Western

686
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: Conference Finals victory, but I'm not going to hold it

687
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: against you if you're very excited, right right, especially for

688
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: a team like Phoenix, who a lot of people, let's

689
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: be honest, had not going this far. Oh, I think

690
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: they should celebrate it. It was awesome.

691
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 5: Celebrate it for a night. You can watch Hawks versus

692
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 5: Bucks and then start planning for the series. This is

693
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 5: a major accomplishment for all these guys going from out

694
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 5: of the playoffs for a decade to going to the

695
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 5: NBA Finals, and obviously it's a lot of their first

696
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 5: playoff appearances.

697
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: You know, we see sometimes like a team will make.

698
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 5: The playoffs and have a successful, surprising season, and the

699
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: fans will be going crazy for them even when they

700
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 5: lose once they return home. So I thought it was

701
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 5: awesome to see them celebrating, and I thought it was

702
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 5: hilarious that Frank Kaminski had two viral moments last night,

703
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 5: despite not really getting to play basketball.

704
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: He had the.

705
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: Gentlest push I'll Patrick Beverley, I feel like that was

706
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: two Illinois boys giving each other respect right there, and

707
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 5: then obviously chugging the beer through the sunroof once they

708
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 5: got back to Phoenix.

709
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just didn't see a little mini parade happening.

710
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: I just didn't know that that was a thing going back.

711
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 4: But obviously they're expecting it, waiting for them to come back,

712
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: and of course they should celebrate every stinking moment, every

713
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: single second, have some freaking fun.

714
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: Nobody in the in the NBA.

715
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 4: Finals, whether it's the Bucks or the Hawks when they

716
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 4: meet the Suns, has won an NBA title not one

717
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: single player, as John Hollingser pointed out, so freaking.

718
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: Live it up. Yeah, they've got a week. It's a

719
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: game plan. They can they can have a beer or

720
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: two or three.

721
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: Game one, the NBA Finals starts a week from today,

722
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 3: right July eighth. They're not moving it up at all, right,

723
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: like I asked him, they're not.

724
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: No, they tend not to. But I think I said

725
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: the other day that's often that's because of the international media,

726
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: I think, But potentially I guess, well, let's still actually.

727
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: No, there's media two games, two more games, yeah.

728
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that they wouldn't be over by the earliest

729
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: Saturday Sunday. So yeah, no, they won't move it up

730
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: to Tuesday for that reason.

731
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: But Thursday night Game one of the NBA Finals, and

732
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: we just wait to see who the Suns, the Phoenix

733
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: Suns are going to be playing as the favorites, like

734
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: you said, very likely as the favorites, I would think,

735
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: with game one in Phoenix in the NBA Finals. Wow,

736
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: taking us back ninety three here, it's crazy.

737
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 5: The Sun's biggest health concern right now is Devin Booker's nose.

738
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: This guy can't stop getting hit in the face. Like

739
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 5: every half he gets into the face, And I don't know,

740
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 5: I don't personally think of Devin Booker as like a

741
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 5: face forward player, like some guys have their heads way

742
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 5: out in front of them when they're playing.

743
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

744
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 5: It's like he got hit in the nose the one time,

745
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 5: broke his nose all nasty, and now it just is

746
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 5: gonna keep happening. So I would be a little worried

747
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 5: of PJ. Tucker if the Bucks make the finals. That

748
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 5: guy's going nose for sure.

749
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: Oh yes, you know.

750
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: The Sun's historically would maybe actually prefer to start on

751
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: the road. They own three as in ninety three in

752
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: the finals on the road at excuse me, one and two,

753
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: two and one on the road.

754
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: Wow.

755
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: They won both games in Chicago, but lost all three

756
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: in Phoenix.

757
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: Man crazy, Michael Jordan.

758
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: Man, I mean that's got nothing to do with it.

759
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: I mean, who knows if the Bucks ultimately get over

760
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: the Hawks. The Hawks have tied this thing up. It's

761
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: too too But I would love to see Cash Considerations

762
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: versus Tory Craig in the NBA Finals. That would be

763
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: a matchup. I would have my eye on my god.

764
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: Do you think he could shut him down. Cash is

765
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: pretty good on the on the perimeter defense. No, okay,

766
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: nothing I thought there was. Sorry, man, it's a no

767
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: cell for me. Tory Craig is not going to be

768
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: a final story. I know people are talking about it.

769
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 3: That's fine. He played last week. He did a great job.

770
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: Good job to Tory Craig. It will be fun for

771
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: all the huge Tory Craig fans out there. We're gonna

772
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 3: have to do twenty minutes on Tory Craig, Trey Kirby.

773
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we got we got a whole week say exactly.

774
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: I guess that's true. NBL legend Tory Craig. Nice.

775
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 3: Okay, let's uh, let's get to a little is this news?

776
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: But we gotta take your first break. My god, Steve

777
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,959
Speaker 3: Balmer would love to get his hands on those Gene

778
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: Shortsley and that little lad read. No, that was a

779
00:34:52,760 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: little funnier, was it good? Let's get this news. Yeah,

780
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: here's this news and headlines for you guys. Like I

781
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 3: said it teased it. Let's talk Paul George a little

782
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 3: bit more. CBS Sports Clipper's Paul George questions the narrative

783
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 3: of me not being a postseason player. You had a

784
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 3: lot to see about this, Lely, So is this news

785
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 3: Paul George saying, come on, you know, stop it already.

786
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: What do you think, Well, it's not really news, I suppose,

787
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: because I think part of the reason why he has

788
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: the reputation he has is because he talks so much

789
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: in the media. It started remembering the OKAC with hey,

790
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: you never heard of playoff p before, You're about to

791
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: see it, and then he had a bad series, And

792
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 2: I think that's the problem with Paul George. Reasonable normal

793
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: basketball fans know he is a superstar. He has had

794
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: his moments in the playoffs where he hasn't been a superstar.

795
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: That's also what happens to almost every playoff star at

796
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: some point. I mean, you guys know Kyle Lowry up

797
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: close from when the Raptors finally made the playoffs after

798
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: all those years. I remember he was garbage in those

799
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: first two years when the Raptors got knocked out in

800
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: the first round. Now he's maybe the group. So it

801
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: just shows that over time that that narrative can change.

802
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 2: But if on Paul George, if I had to say

803
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 2: anything to him, say just don't worry about what you

804
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: see on the internet and what people say. People just

805
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 2: want to get their jokes off, and it's kind of like,

806
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: because you've joined the Thunder and then you went to

807
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 2: the Clippers, people are like, Okay, this guy's an easy target,

808
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: and then he bites on a lot of that stuff

809
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: as well. So like Paul George is a superstar in

810
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: the league. He finished fourth or third in MVP voting

811
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: just a couple of years ago. He came back from

812
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: a devastating injury which could have potentially ended his career.

813
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's never going to change. People are always

814
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: going to sort of go from game to game. You

815
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 2: have a good games, like yet see he's not a bust.

816
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 2: You have a bad game, people are just going to

817
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 2: keep on piling on you. That's just the way it

818
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: goes on social media.

819
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. But I will say, like after last

820
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 3: night's game, he didn't have a good game, Paul George

821
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 3: in a game six and again, I think the excuse

822
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 3: is fair. Guy seems tired as hell. He played massive minutes,

823
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: but it felt like there were less people piling on

824
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: Paul George last night. So maybe he has shock the

825
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: narrative a little bit trait where it's like, you know,

826
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 3: he did a lot of it to himself, like like

827
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 3: Li said, I agree with that, but I didn't see

828
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: a ton of like Paul George sucks. You know, where

829
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: was he in a must win game? And maybe that's

830
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: because he had the awesome Game five to extend the series.

831
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 3: But I think it's it's diminished a little bit, and

832
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: it should because he was pretty damn awesome this postseason.

833
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 5: No doubt, this was Paul George's signature playoff run, especially

834
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 5: once Kawhi Leonard went down. He saved the Clipper season

835
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 5: a couple of different times and just wasn't able to

836
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 5: do it for what.

837
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

838
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 5: I guess it would probably been the fifth time if

839
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: he did it last night against the Suns. Obviously didn't

840
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 5: have a great game, but he did have a great

841
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 5: Game five.

842
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: But like Lee said, he gave himself the nickname playoff

843
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: pe and then he got bounced from the playoffs by

844
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: Joe Ingles.

845
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 5: That's what happened. The same year he was a top

846
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 5: five MVP candidate. Say less, look at what Kawhi Leonard does. Man,

847
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 5: that guy gets no criticism from anybody because he never

848
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 5: says anything, and also, like, look at Chris Paul. We

849
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 5: used to have a b roll for the starters called

850
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 5: Chris Paul Boner's that we would run every single year

851
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 5: when the playoffs came around. Until you get to the

852
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 5: finals or like hit a playoff buzzer beating game winner.

853
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: This is going to be the narrative.

854
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 5: It's like Charles Barkley said, Like Charles Barkley is the

855
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 5: perfect guy to speak on this. Really, as an all

856
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 5: time great who never won a championship. As a great player,

857
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 5: you're gonna get criticized until you do something special. Paul

858
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 5: George has done a lot of things that are very

859
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 5: very good, very cool. He had a great playoff run,

860
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 5: and I feel like he's got more people on his

861
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: side now than he has in the past couple of seasons.

862
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 5: But until he's got a ring on that finger or

863
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 5: at least an appearance in the finals, people are going

864
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 5: to remember him being playoff.

865
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: P What do you think, Tess, These guys covered it.

866
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: Nobody can really celebrate the accomplishments of a player. We're

867
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 4: talking about Chris Paul. His nickname is the point God.

868
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 4: But all people could do for several years this point

869
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 4: out his misfortunes, how he did come up short in

870
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: key moments, but yeah, he runs the show, he runs

871
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 4: a team so so well, he's had sixteen years of

872
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 4: showing why he's good. There's only thirty teams in the NBA.

873
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 4: Most don't win it, most don't even come close. But

874
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 4: he's he's there now and PG can just take that

875
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 4: as an example. I mean, he had a he had

876
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 4: a great run this postseason when you look at his numbers,

877
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 4: so so good to be going, you know, twenty seven

878
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 4: and nine and a half rebounds, like he was really

879
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 4: really working it.

880
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: He had.

881
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 4: He had a great Western Conference Finals, although he didn't

882
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 4: shoot it from three all that well, but yeah, he

883
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 4: ran out of steam. I mean, if you had somebody,

884
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 4: if you had Kawhi beside him, it probably could have

885
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: been different. Yeah, it's uh, you know, people just need

886
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 4: something to poke on. So when Paul George gave them

887
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 4: the red meat of calling himself playoff pe and not performing,

888
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 4: of course people are going to gobble it up. I

889
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: mean yesterday people were too too interested or you know,

890
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 4: watching the Chris Paul Show and watching the Phoenix Suns celebrate.

891
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 4: So I think that's why Paul George didn't get it,

892
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 4: didn't get the criticism. You know, they had something else

893
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,959
Speaker 4: to focus on. And that's why for a moment people

894
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: will understand, like, Paul George is a great player.

895
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: He's thirty one.

896
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 4: I think Chris Paul is a good example that you

897
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 4: can carry this into your mid thirties. Even though, as

898
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: Lee mentioned, this guy had that injury, you know, seven

899
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 4: years ago, but he bounced back to have a phenomenal postseason.

900
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: This was great, and he said this is one of

901
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 4: the best locker rooms he's ever been in. And it

902
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 4: showed those guys work together and played really really well together.

903
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: Paul George showed how freakin good he is. Those numbers

904
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 4: are great, Those numbers are phenomenal.

905
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the part of this though, is he

906
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 3: he had good postseasons before this one, but because of

907
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 3: the playoff p nickname, because of calling it a bad

908
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: shot when Lillard hit one in his face, because of

909
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: the blown three one leading the side of the backboard,

910
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: that got you know, everybody on him and probably rightfully

911
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: so a little bit or the criticism and it's like,

912
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 3: come on, man, you're not that good as good as

913
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 3: you pretend you are. But he averaged like what twenty

914
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: I think If I don't know, buddy, I'm sure he

915
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 3: was over a twenty play pre game score his entire postseason,

916
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: probably much higher than that. I'm guessing twenty three twenty

917
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 3: four points per game over like six or seven postseasons

918
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 3: prior to this one where he went to another level.

919
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: But he's been good, right, And that was on the

920
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: Paces too, where you know, he took the heat was

921
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 2: to seven games, and it was like, you know, people

922
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: love a sort of an underdog then, but then he

923
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: did force his way to the Clippers, and it's like, well,

924
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: if you're going to try to make a super team

925
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: that also.

926
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: Oh and the Clippers pretended they were already champions without

927
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: winning anything that whole.

928
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So those sort of things come

929
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: into play. But yeah, he's been incredibly fun to watch.

930
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: And again, considering they lose their you know, potent, their

931
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 2: best player and they overcome a two zero deficit to

932
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: the Jazz and win in six where he was incredible,

933
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean that that should get more recognition than it

934
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 2: will get, but that'll kind of be swept under the

935
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: carpet because they didn't go all the way.

936
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, our next head lane ESPN Lebron James Olympic career

937
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: likely over, according to tmusa's Jerry Colangelo Trey, I ask you,

938
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 3: as the American, is this news at all? I think

939
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of news.

940
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 5: It's kind of sad news, to be honest, I thought

941
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 5: we would see Lebron in the Olympics one more time,

942
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 5: but I guess if that's the case, it probably should

943
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 5: have been twenty sixteen.

944
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: Lebron had a.

945
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 5: Kind of weird n be Olympic career started way back

946
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 5: when in two thousand and four, when Team USA lost

947
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 5: three times finished bronze. To be honest, not enough Lebron

948
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 5: and Mellow on that team. It was Larry Brown rolling

949
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 5: with you know, the mid two thousand Stars. It didn't

950
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 5: work out. But then Lebron came back and played on

951
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 5: two legendary Team USA teams two thousand and eight, the

952
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 5: Redeemed Team, probably the most famous Olympic team since the

953
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 5: Dream Team, and then twenty twelve, which is probably the

954
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 5: best team since the Dream Team. But like I said,

955
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 5: probably should have played in twenty sixteen, but that was

956
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 5: right after Game seven. That being said, I am not

957
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 5: ruling it out that Lebron plays in the Olympics again,

958
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 5: because Jerry Colangelo got a little spicy on this radio call.

959
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 3: He said of Lebron, you know, father time takes its toll.

960
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 5: If you're a human being, your body is built to

961
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 5: go so long depending on what your sport is, and

962
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 5: then it's a downhill situation. Is Jerry Colangelo trying to

963
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 5: lure Lebron by calling him washed?

964
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

965
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 5: Lebron right now is older than Carmelo, Anthony, Kobe Bryant,

966
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 5: Jason Kidd during their last Olympic appearances. Those are kind

967
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 5: of some old heads that you know, got the legend

968
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 5: card back in the day. But you're telling me a

969
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 5: teen's gonna say no to a thirty nine or forty

970
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 5: year old Lebron James if he wants to play in

971
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 5: the Olympics one more time. Have n't played center passed

972
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 5: the ball every time?

973
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: It'd be cool. Yeah, this is maybe not newsworthy because,

974
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 3: like Trace said, he didn't play in sixteen. I always

975
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 3: sort of forget. Yeah, I like you think he played

976
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: in Brazil, but he didn't because if he had, he

977
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 3: would have that would have been his fourth Olympics, which

978
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: would have tied him with Mellow and then if he

979
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 3: went on to play on this one, which he obviously

980
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 3: could be on the team if he wanted to, that

981
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: would have been the record breaking fifth. But uh, Melow

982
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 3: holds onto the to the four Olympic appearances.

983
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: But Lee, what do you think, Yeah, well, he would

984
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: have played I think if the Olympics went to hit

985
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: his scheduled last year because interesting, Yeah, yeah, I know

986
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: that he said he wanted to play for Popovic, who

987
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 2: was supposed to be coaching the team, but obviously things

988
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: change there and he didn't play. So yeah, listen, the

989
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 2: Lebron has done so much for this game. He's played

990
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: in World Cups as well, so he has done his

991
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: part of representing the USA going out there winning a

992
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: couple of gold medals. And I don't hold it against

993
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: him now because you know he doesn't. Maybe as well,

994
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: he's coming off the biggest injury of his career and

995
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: he probably knows you know that he doesn't have you know,

996
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: just infinity left in the NBA. He wants to be

997
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 2: as healthy as he can to try to get a

998
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: couple more championships. So maybe he's like, you know what,

999
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: I've done my time for the national team. Now I'm

1000
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: just going to try to focus a little bit more

1001
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: on only on the Lakers. So I think he's I

1002
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: saw him in Athens. He was great. He was a stary.

1003
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 2: He was only out of his first season in the NBA,

1004
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: and it was like he was a big deal back

1005
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: then in the international committee. So you know, here we are,

1006
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: like seventeen years later and he's you know still. I mean,

1007
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: he could walk into the team if he changes his

1008
00:44:59,080 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 2: mind too.

1009
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 3: So hey, hey, Kevin Love, get out of here. Jeremy, Greg,

1010
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 3: get me out of here. That's so fun.

1011
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 5: I like this suggestion from Greg and the stream team

1012
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 5: who says Lebron should play in the three on three tournament.

1013
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the next Olympics with his son. Wow, we

1014
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: just said the James gang to go win the gold medal.

1015
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 3: I love it, oh man or or somehow. I don't

1016
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: know how he would do it. But like that classic

1017
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 3: Lebron commercial where he's playing like an old man, he's

1018
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: playing a kid. He's business. Yeah, you have business, Bron, somehow,

1019
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: just send a bunch of Lebron's Yeah task, anything to

1020
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 3: add to this is the news newsworthy at all to you.

1021
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 4: I guess the other thing that Jerry Colangelo said was

1022
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 4: Lebron made choices these last couple of Olympics not to

1023
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 4: participate because he's got a lot.

1024
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: Of other things going on in his life.

1025
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 3: Movies.

1026
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's busy, but I think his time is over.

1027
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 4: And Lebron would say to that, yeah, I did have

1028
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 4: other stuff going on in my life. I know we

1029
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 4: look at basketball players and think they should be playing

1030
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 4: basketball every second of their life.

1031
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 3: But Lebron, good for him.

1032
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 4: Good for him to do other stuff and to bounce

1033
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 4: back from that bronze medal that he got in two

1034
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 4: thousand and four. I always forget going back to Athens when, yeah,

1035
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 4: the US was embarrassed by Lithuania a couple times, or

1036
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 4: the first time, I should say, then they lost to Argentina,

1037
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 4: but then they got Lithuania back in that bronze medal game,

1038
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 4: a little bit of redemption there in the end, which

1039
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 4: wasn't redemption at all. Bronze medal for most people is

1040
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 4: a heck of an accomplishment, but for Lebron, Iverson, Tim

1041
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 4: Duncan and Mellow, Nope, that was a terrible tournament for them.

1042
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to whatever talking head's gonna run

1043
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 3: with the craziest hot take of lebron Is putting the

1044
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 3: Looney Tunes Championship over the American team, you know, over

1045
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 3: playing with pride for his country. He cares more about

1046
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 3: bugs Bunny task than he does about getting another gold medal.

1047
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 3: It's coming. You just wait. I can't wait. Final headline here.

1048
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: You just gave somebody the carrot.

1049
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up.

1050
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 3: Doc Final on CBC. Oh yeah, let's go up to

1051
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: CBC for Canada Day. Here. Canada clinches Group A semifinal

1052
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 3: birth with a commanding win over China. That's who they

1053
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 3: played last night. Just to point out, I mean they

1054
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: dominated them as they should. They're in the driver's seat

1055
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: here task they went to and oh in Group eight.

1056
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 3: That's it. We are now into the knockout phase of

1057
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 3: this little mini tournament. You gotta win it to go

1058
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 3: to Tokyo. So they're gonna play the second place team

1059
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: from Group B in a sudden death semifinal on Saturday afternoon.

1060
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: It's likely going to be the Czech Republic or Turkey.

1061
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 3: Those are both really solid teams. But you win that

1062
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 3: and then you go into a one game showdown on

1063
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: Sunday to try and get to Tokyo. But good stuff here.

1064
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 3: I saw Grains pointed out Canada is getting some rest

1065
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 3: here just because of the schedule, so you know, you

1066
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: get this day off before the semifinal game. They're healthy.

1067
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 3: At the moment. It feels like Nick Nurse is definitely

1068
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 3: sort of figured out his rotation just quickly here through

1069
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 3: the first couple of games. You know it's star Corey,

1070
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: Joseph Start, Barrett Wiggins, Trey Lyles, and Powell who's been great.

1071
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 3: I saw you tweeting about him last night. Task and

1072
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 3: then the bench is really Alexander Walker, Dort of course,

1073
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 3: and Andrew Nicholson. And there is a name that some

1074
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: of you may have forgotten. Yeah, I remember the I

1075
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: wish we had a photo of Andrew Nicholson. That guy

1076
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 3: looks so old. It's amazing.

1077
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 4: Man.

1078
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is like a top eleven pick or something

1079
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: like that. Was he drafted by the Magic Yeah Washington, and.

1080
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 3: He played I think he played the last four years,

1081
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 3: and I want to say in China. It was definitely overseas,

1082
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: but he actually is. He can score. It is a

1083
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 3: weird player, but he can shoot, especially in the international game.

1084
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 3: It's a little a little closer line. So anyway, that's

1085
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 3: the lineup, and it's set up here for them to

1086
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 3: task to do this, to actually pull this off and

1087
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 3: try and get to the Olympics for the first time

1088
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: since the Steve Nash days back in two thousand. So

1089
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm excited. I'm gonna be sweating these games this weekend.

1090
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: Though, I am.

1091
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I really want them there. I just want

1092
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 3: them in the Olympics to then hear them on there.

1093
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 3: Not that they would mettle or anything, but they should

1094
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: get there.

1095
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should. They're the favorite. They should.

1096
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 4: It's cool seeing Andrew Wiggins perform two expectations. He is

1097
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 4: the best player on the floor. He should be dominating

1098
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 4: and you know he's not shooting a ton, he's playing

1099
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 4: within the team game.

1100
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: But you know, to be executing is cool. Fhoeba. Wiggins

1101
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: is real.

1102
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 4: He had a twenty point night against China and yeah again,

1103
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 4: yeah he didn't he didn't shoot a ton, but he's efficient.

1104
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: He's doing his thing.

1105
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 4: Is he's Golden State Wagans out there just playing his role.

1106
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 4: He needs other scores to make it happen. Like old

1107
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 4: Andrew Nicholson, I love saying that name. Yeah, he's he

1108
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 4: doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He

1109
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 4: doesn't really have a three point shot. He's got a

1110
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 4: bit of an old man bod out there. But in

1111
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 4: the FOBA game he kicks ass. Obviously don't need.

1112
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: As much as athleticism.

1113
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's you know, a little bit of a

1114
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 4: a little bit of love and honor for the big

1115
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 4: booty guys out there. When you see Andrew Nicholson out

1116
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 4: there shaking that thing. Man, he's great out there. You

1117
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 4: old Chris Paul the thirty six year old doing it

1118
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 4: in the NBA, and then Andrew Nicholson with that butt

1119
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 4: making things happen against China.

1120
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: There is they cake nass.

1121
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 3: After Nicholson for everybody on the Oh he looks slender there,

1122
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 3: he does actually, all right, all right, I'm just like

1123
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: looking up his what is his actual age and keep

1124
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 3: calling him old? But he's thirty one, Okay, he's actually

1125
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 3: older than I even thought. But he looks I think

1126
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 3: a lot closer to forty one. He just has that

1127
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 3: look in his face. But I am pumped for this

1128
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 3: and this is big, Honestly, I'm being serious here, like

1129
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 3: this would be big for Canada. Basketball because they need

1130
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 3: the team in the Olympics to drum up more support

1131
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 3: from casuals. Yeah, the sickos are into it. Yeah, they're

1132
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 3: cheering them on, and it's amazing. We got a lot

1133
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: of these NBA players committing, but we want more eventually,

1134
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 3: and to do that, it'd be good if you make

1135
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 3: the Olympics. Just being there, that's something. So I hope

1136
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: to god they win these two games, and they're not

1137
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 3: a lot because these are good teams. Anything can happen

1138
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 3: in a one game situation. You know, you can just

1139
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins can just go two for fifteen or RJ Barrett,

1140
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 3: same thing, all these guys. So it's it's not a given.

1141
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 3: But they do have a bunch of guys contributing right

1142
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 3: now and the rotation seems sort of set there and

1143
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 3: they move the ball. Thirty assists on forty three field

1144
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 3: goals in that game against China. So that's good. So

1145
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 3: we'll see go Canada this weekend. So we just we

1146
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: got to have Team Canada versus Team USA at the

1147
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 3: very least in an Olympic game. I mean, just so

1148
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: we can set the line. How badly would they well,

1149
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know what we would set

1150
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 3: that line at Trey. It got to be like twenty

1151
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 3: five thirty, probably sixty. Oh my god, I'll take the

1152
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 3: I'll take that. I'll take Team Canada to cover that. Anyway.

1153
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 3: We'll see. Let's get to tweet of the night, tweet

1154
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 3: out the night.

1155
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 4: Wowwitt, last time I had tweet of the night.

1156
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 5: Terrible night on Twitter. Made up last night though, great

1157
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 5: night on Twitter. So you got two tweets of the night.

1158
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 5: Our first one not great to talk about, but it

1159
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 5: is must see. Tweeting comes to us from the LA Clippers.

1160
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 5: Vin Diesel in the building for Game six, throwing to

1161
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 5: themil family. This is a little bit like a sequel

1162
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 5: to Vin's appearance at the twenty twelve Olympics where he

1163
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 5: threw up thumbs up when they showed him in the

1164
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 5: crowd going with the heart. Now, everybody knows Vin Diesel

1165
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 5: loves sequels, so here's another sequel. Our second tweet of

1166
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 5: the night Big one. NCAA is now allowing all student

1167
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 5: athletes to make money off their name, image, and likeness,

1168
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 5: which is huge news and also garnered a very funny

1169
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 5: tweet from basketball podcaster JJ Reddick, who tweeted from two

1170
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,959
Speaker 5: thousand and four to two thousand and six, I would

1171
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 5: have made a bag on name, image and licensing endorsements. Sadly,

1172
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 5: I would have blown it all on Natty Light and

1173
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 5: lacost Polos the collars popped.

1174
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 3: Of course.

1175
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 5: JJ Reddick a massive star in his days at Duke.

1176
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 5: Back in the day, he would have made a bag.

1177
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 5: My question to you guys, if you got a JJ

1178
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 5: Reddick sized bag back in two thousand and four to

1179
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 5: two thousand and six, when you were attending college or university,

1180
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 5: whatever you call it, what would you have blown your

1181
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 5: bag on? For me, it comes down to three things.

1182
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 5: T shirts from the thrift store. I always remember my

1183
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 5: friend Pat Murphy having one that said, Lordy, lordy, look

1184
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 5: who's forty when he was only like eighteen years old.

1185
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 5: Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen. Number two Abercrombie

1186
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 5: and Fitch track jackets. I don't know why track jackets.

1187
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 5: Like two thousand and one to two thousand and five,

1188
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 5: the Reddick era man track jackets were killing it.

1189
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: Got one on today, you know, for the lads. But

1190
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 3: most of all, I would have spent most of my money.

1191
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: Did you guys have express did you like the store Express,

1192
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 3: It was structure prior to that there.

1193
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 4: I think that I just saw it when John Collins

1194
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 4: was there. John Collins was being endorsed by Express Research.

1195
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's what that there? You're going yeah, so yeah exactly.

1196
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a store for young professionals, like

1197
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 3: people who want to buy their first uh, like their

1198
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 3: first shirt with a stripe on it or something like that,

1199
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 3: like Zara or something. Yeah exactly. Back inn in school,

1200
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 3: we call them money shirts. Like if you were going

1201
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 3: out you had to look money. You put on your

1202
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 3: money shirt. You got a collar, you got some big

1203
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 3: old buttons. Maybe if you flip up the cuffs they're

1204
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 3: a different color. Would have I crazy and Express buying

1205
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 3: money shirts? Good? Uh yeah, we would just I guess

Speaker 3: spot that we had we were sharing Raptors season tickets. Uh,

1209
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,520

1210
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 3: that in school? Anyway? Point is I think we would

1211
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 3: have upgrade it. We were up in the nosebleeds, so

1212

00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 3: basically the sprite section.

1218
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,479
Speaker 1: I hate sprite. You get that kind of money?

1219

1228
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 3: and jeez, they were the worst. I don't like I

Speaker 3: don't know who, I don't know how people let me

1230
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,640

Speaker 3: were bad even for four h five. But Lee, you

1232
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: have an answer for this year out of school too,

1233
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: But what would you?

1234
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, when I first came out of school, I

1235
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 2: would have put all that money into a car, just

1236
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 2: to you know, I had personalized license. I bought these

1237
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 2: sheepskin car sist covers.

1238
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 3: Wow.

1239
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: Would Yeah, No, that's the thing. Like I remember, you know,

1240
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 2: sort of having a push and pulled with my dad.

1241
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 2: He's like, don't put money into your car. Like it

1242
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: needs to run, it needs to be safe, but don't

1243
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: waste your money on it. I put a CD player

1244
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 2: in there. I bought that off a fran and got

1245
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 2: someone to install it for me. Put all this ridiculous

1246
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: money into my car. Well, because I you know, you want,

1247
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to have a cool car.

1248
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 3: What was it?

1249
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 2: And it was well, it was called it would be

1250
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: a Chevy. It would be a Chevrolet the equivalent over

1251
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 2: here that's General Motors, isn't it over here? I think

1252
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 2: because it was called a Holding Commodore in Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1253
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: it's the cool car. I mean it was like twelve

1254
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 2: or thirteen years old when I first got it. But

1255
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 2: it was like I tried to make it, you know, sexy,

1256
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 2: but you could only do so much. I remember I

1257
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 2: bought these ugly, ugly blue car sie covers one time.

1258
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 3: I just thought, yeah they're cool.

1259
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 2: Oh they weren't.

1260
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 3: Like to cover your seats, do you the interior?

1261
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 2: I liked it, yes, But that because I remember as well,

1262
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 2: when I I just started working and you know I

1263
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 2: was earning like, I don't know, fifteen grand a year

1264
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: or something like that. My first job, I wanted to

1265
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 2: buy a car for twenty thousand.

1266
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 3: Dollars and Dad was just like what I mean, you

1267
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 3: had hold the brothers. Didn't you get any like pass

1268
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 3: me down cars and stuff like that. Well, that's it.

1269
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 2: My first car was my brother's first car. Yeah. I

1270
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 2: had to buy that off him, man, but I put

1271
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 2: I put my own personalized plates on that before the

1272
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: purchase had gone through, so.

1273
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 3: Got the plates first.

1274
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 2: That's that I think is a v P Comodore from

1275
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: around nineteen ninety.

1276
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1277
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 2: Mine was actually a VH VH Commodo red Wind.

1278
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 3: It was cool red wine.

1279
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but you.

1280
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: Just remind you when you send you installed the CD player.

1281
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 3: Do you remember there was a time when Pip we're

1282
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 3: putting in like the five disc the ten discs in

1283
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 3: the trunk of their car. What a crazy concept, do

1284
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 3: you think about it?

1285
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was the first c D. The first CD

1286
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 2: I bought to play was Gangster's Paradise.

1287
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: The single of it, Wow, you had the instrumental video.

1288
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 2: That's also I think the the v.

1289
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 3: Jesus don't you know anything about cars.

1290
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 2: You know, I've got a photo of me with my

1291
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: car there with the license plates somewhere, but it's probably

1292
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 2: a bit too hard.

1293
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 4: To doser wheels and hubcaps in that. Yeah, I'll put

1294
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 4: some spinners on. That is just it's just funny.

1295
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 3: You pumped for Fast and Furious podcast now, Yeah, a

1296
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: lot of holding commodores.

1297
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 4: And yeah, were you the only person in Australia leader

1298
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 4: have a sixth disc changer that had only singles playing?

1299
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: So I made around the corner had the ten Scott

1300
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: but it wasn't a stack of though. I'm pretty sure

1301
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: it was like it was a flat thing.

1302
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, those were definitely yeah.

1303
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it took up his whole track, you know,

1304
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 2: but it was like but it was still cool because man,

1305
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: he's got ten He had a phone in his car

1306
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 2: as well, a phone, but he could never use it

1307
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 2: because it was like eight bucks for like ten seconds.

1308
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: On the coal.

1309
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, card talk. Oh my goodness. Here okay, just

1310
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 3: quickly here as we wrapped this up, what's something you're

1311
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 3: watching for in game five tonight? Because we do have

1312
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 3: a game bot again here? Uh Hawks versus the Bucks? No, Yannis,

1313
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 3: that's a that's official. Trey Young, I think is still

1314
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 3: up in the air whether or not he is a Gopher.

1315
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 3: Game five, but Trey, what are you watching?

1316
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Trey Young was a super late scratch for Game four,

1317
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 5: like an hour beforehand, right Nate McMillan walked up to

1318
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 5: Lou Williams and said you're starting.

1319
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 3: Lou said okay, and then just went out and played

1320
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 3: an incredible playoff game in his very first start.

1321
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 5: That's why to me tonight, assuming we got no Yannis,

1322
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 5: great news to hear that no structural damage for him,

1323
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 5: but obviously he's still hurt. If we're guessing Trey Young

1324
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 5: doesn't play, the key to me then is going to

1325
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 5: be Drew Holliday. The guy's a great two way player,

1326
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 5: but it feels like in this series so far he

1327
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 5: hasn't put together the two ways in the same game.

1328
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 5: Like he's had a great offensive game, but then Trey

1329
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 5: Young goes for forty something or he's locking Trey Young

1330
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 5: down on defense but bricking away on offense. So far,

1331
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 5: Drew Holliday has been under forty percent in half of

1332
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 5: his playoff game so far. He needs to be the

1333
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 5: best guard on the court if the Bucks are going

1334
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 5: to win. That means he's got a lockdown Lou Williams

1335
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 5: a little bit, assuming he gets the start for Trey Young,

1336
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 5: and he's got a punish Lou on the offensive end

1337
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 5: a little bit as well. So I think a big

1338
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 5: game for Drew Holliday can give the Bucks a win.

1339
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 3: Task anything to add to this game five tonight there

1340
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee.

1341
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Yannis does play. I

1342
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: know he's still right right now.

1343
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 4: That's that's the latest listing that I'm seeing. But I mean,

1344
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 4: he is just he is so fricking tough, and I'm

1345
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 4: sure he wants to play really badly. Do they keep

1346
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 4: me outal game six? I think that's you know, it's

1347
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 4: obviously a possibility because I think the Bucks bounce back

1348
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 4: just with the way they played, because the first half

1349
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 4: against the Hawks, they didn't go to the hoop at all.

1350
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 4: They averaged seventeen restricted area shots per half throughout the postseason.

1351
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 4: They only had seven in the first half of Game four.

1352
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 4: They just weren't right, and I know Jannis is a

1353
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 4: big part of that. So we probably see a lot

1354
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 4: of Brook if Yannis isn't around, just to try and

1355
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 4: balance the inside and the outside game with Withdrew and

1356
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 4: Chris Middleton, who should have a bounce back game. But

1357
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 4: the Hawks have a fight tonight no matter what, even though,

1358
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 4: even though it's unlikely Yanni's plays, but I'm sure he's

1359
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 4: gonna do absolutely everything in his power to play Lee.

1360
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 3: You're in New York? Are you gonna be watching this game?

1361
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 3: Just so they're in the apartment. You're gonna go out

1362
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 3: to a bar.

1363
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's the fight on. You can see the

1364
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 2: personalized license plate there.

1365
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 3: On the the No, sir, I'm not interested in these

1366
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: knaves you're selling. Get out of here.

1367
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Cricket bat.

1368
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 3: That's a cricket bat.

1369
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: That's a cricket bat. So that cricket bat, right. So

1370
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 2: I bought this cricket bat in England when I was

1371
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: on a trip, and I came back and I played

1372
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 2: with that and you've got to knock it in. I

1373
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 2: don't know if you do that with baseball bats, but

1374
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 2: you've got to sort of break it in, you know,

1375
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 2: wear it in.

1376
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

1377
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 2: And I didn't do a good job of that and

1378
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 2: it all cracked. And so I sent it to Slazenger

1379
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 2: in Australia and they sent me back that bat, which

1380
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 2: was personally signed by my favorite cricketer Mark Wore at

1381
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 2: the time, so you can sort of see it's still

1382
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: in the plastic. I never took it out of that.

1383
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 3: Oh you, as a young lad in Australia, you did

1384
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 3: a lot of fucking mealing. You meiled so much shit.

1385
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 3: I swear to God every second story is humpting to

1386
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 3: somebody and getting it back somehow. Yeah.

1387
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, kids will never know that these days. You know,

1388
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 2: you don't know what it's like when you when you

1389
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 2: post something like to America, to a team like the

1390
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Knicks or whoever, and you have to wait like three

1391
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 2: months and you get that response and it's like, yes,

1392
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 2: it was worth it. Now it's just like FedEx everything,

1393
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 2: email it whatever, you get it in a day. It's

1394
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 2: just not the same. There's no romance anymore in the

1395
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 2: male system.

1396
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 5: Was that photo taken on the set of the Beastie

1397
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 5: Boys sabotage video?

1398
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 3: Look like Michael Diamonds out here caps you're my crooked

1399
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 3: bat is broken? You know what?

1400
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can. We can't really zoom in,

1401
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: but I think you can see the ugly blue car

1402
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 2: see covering.

1403
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to.

1404
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Say, Jad, you look like the meanest Mormon.

1405
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, even looks like tag.

1406
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's on my way to work. And McDonald.

1407
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: Ye elder badass. Wow.

1408
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh anyway, I did ask, where are you watching the

1409
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 3: game tonight? There in New York.

1410
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: I'll be watching it. I'll be watching it here. But yeah, look,

1411
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 2: the Bucks have gone from like, you know, this being

1412
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,479
Speaker 2: a potential end the series game to now like must

1413
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 2: win for them really because they don't want to have

1414
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 2: to come back to Atlanta and have to win that game.

1415
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 2: So it's going to be huge. So I don't think

1416
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 2: Yannis players. I think because it's not necessarily season series

1417
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 2: ending tonight, they may just say, listen, let's give him

1418
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 2: a couple of days rest because if we lose, we

1419
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 2: definitely need him in game six. So some big question

1420
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 2: there for the Bucks whether or not, you know, Middleton

1421
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 2: and Holiday, as you guys mentioned, there, can those guys

1422
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 2: step up and carry this team because they need this

1423
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 2: win badly tonight. I think Milwaukee.

1424
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 3: Pivotal game five. Some would say we'll talk about it

1425
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 3: tomorrow on the Drop podcast. Tomorrow is Friday?

1426
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Is that right?

1427
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? It is. It's been a struggle struggling more than

1428
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 3: ever with what day it is. It's just day of

1429
