00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: presented by Amazon Prime. It's Tuesday, May thirteenth, twenty twenty five.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm Jay Skats here in the Classic Factory, and alongside

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: me as always, tast.

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: Mellis Basketball lovers, this is for you.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: Next to him, it's the Bearded Woman, Top Shot Boy

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: track Kervy. Hey, you went over yonder making the magic happen.

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Super producer JD. Hello, there he is here, we are.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: We got some things to talk about today. Oh baby,

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: let's just jump right into it. We'll start with the

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: draft lottery. The Mavericks won it Ichia Rigatoni. Yes, they

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: won the NBA Draft Lottery on Monday night. Huge upset

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: that will give them the number one pick in June's

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: draft and the right to select Duke star Cooper Flag.

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: The Mavericks had just a one point eight percent chance

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: of landing the top pick, but they get it done.

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Several other teams jumped up as well. You see it there.

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: The San Antonio Spurs landed the number two pick, while

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six ers will pick third. Poor Utah,

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: poor Washington, Poor Charlotte. I guess, you know, entering the

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: night with the best odds of winning the lottery at

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: fourteen percent, and they all drop drop, drop drop Charlotte, fourth, Utah, fifth,

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Washington sixth, and then even New Orleans there seventh. So

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, let's start with the Dallas Mavericks part of this.

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: You know again, they win the number one pick and

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: the right to draft Flag. We were live on playback,

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: so I know you're reaction, but now you've had some

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: time to think about it.

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: Well, everybody shocked that these fans in Dallas went through

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: basketball hell for months after you know, we got one

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: of the best players that just took us to the finals,

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: get out of here, and then they just got punched

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: again and again and again. Anthony Davis, you're injured, Kyrie Irving,

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: you're injured. Didn't stop there, Derek Leveley, you're injured. PJ. Washington,

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: you're injured. Daniel Gafford, you're injured. And now all of

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: a sudden, they get the Messiah. I mean, this guy

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: is plucked from basketball, haven't. This guy is so good?

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: Especially because Nico Harrison when they traded Lukadancic, he talked

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: about the archetypes that we that we see, we talk

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: about as a franchise, they play hard defensively. This guy

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: is that guy, and he is huge, and he is

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: a great offensive player. He's the most anticipated American player

53
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: since Zion Williamson, that's for sure. We saw Victor wemin

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: Nama get traded or drafted a couple of years ago,

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: and in the summer league. It was kind of quiet

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: to start. But I think Cooper Flagg, at eighteen a

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: half years old, has already been great in summers. You know,

58
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: he hasn't got drafted. It's a different circumstance. But we

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: saw what he did last year against the American team.

60
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: I mean that was awesome. The step back, the three,

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: the put back done. So they can't trade this guy.

62
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: They can't trade this because they can't trade this draft pick.

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: I would think I would hope, I would assume, but

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: who Yeah.

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Cooper Flagg is a new balanced guy. Nico may not

66
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: like that, that's right, I'm just kidding. Oh what do

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: you think here? TK and the MAVs getting handed this

68
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: number one pick. I'm happy for MAVs fans.

69
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: Okay, all of them that canceled their season tickets are

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: gonna have to call back and say, wait a second,

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: we got a new white guy in town.

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: I like him too, and he's got the most cowboy

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: sounding name in the NBA.

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Cooper flat is going.

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: To Dallas the sheriff himself. I'm whatever that I'll catch on.

77
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: I also like Rolando Blackman afterwards, Coop can hoop. This

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: guy's just a built in marketing dream. You mentioned the

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: RIGATONI pasta skeets. It's impossible to feel otherwise. Look, it

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: ain't rigged. There are security measures in place. But this

81
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: is the Anthony Davis playbook from twenty nineteen to a t.

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: Right.

83
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Bron needed somebody, he gets Anthony Davis. So

84
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: guess what we're gonna give you, Zion Williamson. This time around,

85
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: Lebron needs something, they get Luca guess what, We're gonna

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: give you a Cooper flag. Now, I would never cast

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: the spersions on my good friends Ernst and Young, but

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: obviously that was the number one takeaway from anybody because

89
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: this is the most hilarious possible outcome for the way

90
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: the lottery went down.

91
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: I can't disagree. I mean again, watching it on playback

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: last night showed to everybody that joined us there when

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: we found out who the top four teams were, it

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: was obviously the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs, the Sixers, and

95
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: then yeah, the Hornets, And it was like, oh my god,

96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: if three of these four teams win this number one pick,

97
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: it's it's rigged conspiracy. Oh my god. Like I'm talking

98
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: about those teams, the first three, not the Hornets, right, Okay,

99
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: that would make sort of sense, being one of the

100
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: worst teams are all season long. But these other teams

101
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: jumping up and getting it, and it's the MAVs of

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: all of them at one point eight percent chance, it's like,

103
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: what the fourth lowest odds ever to win the number

104
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: one pick. So it's happened before. That's the thing. I mean,

105
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: it's just fun to say, God damn, it's rigged. Oh

106
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: my god, you know they had a handshake deal. We'll

107
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: get you Luca and then we'll give you Ane. It

108
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: is fun. It's fun. I'm sorry, but I do find

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: it funny, like for a sport, I mean all sports,

110
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: but like everything's gambling, this gambling that odds numbers. As

111
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: soon as the draft happens, everybody forgets how odds work.

112
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, as soon as your team with

113
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: the best percent, which is only fourteen percent, because they've

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: just leveled these odds. They're trying to deter tanking. It's

115
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: not working. It's not working, but at some point maybe

116
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: it should because it's like, how many years in a

117
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: row here have these bad teams not got the number

118
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: one pick? So it does nothing to be really lean

119
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: into being terribly bad.

120
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you never get it, I've got the new

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: lottery odds as a loser of the draft line sure

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: to be quite us because it's not deturning. Tanking is

123
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: the problem. More teams than ever tank, and all of

124
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: the teams that tanked this season going into the season dropped.

125
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: Charlotte roped one, Utah for Washington for New Orleans three,

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: Brooklyn two, Toronto two literally every team that came in

127
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: and said we're not trying to win this season, they

128
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: went down. And that's not the way that the lottery

129
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 4: is supposed to work. They're adding a generational prospect to

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: a team that was thirty nine and forty three that

131
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: went to the NBA Finals last year. Now, look, obviously

132
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: the Mavericks ended up in the lottery in a weird way.

133
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, very weird.

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: That was not the point. This is not the point

135
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 4: of what the draft lottery is supposed to do. But

136
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: this is how a lottery works, you know, Like you're

137
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: saying the Jazz new They're like, we got eighty six

138
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: percent chance of going down. It's more likely that it's

139
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: going to happen.

140
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: And it did. But I don't know.

141
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 4: I'm like devil angel on both sides here. I can't

142
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: wait to see Cooper flag playing next to Anthony Davis.

143
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: That defense is literally gonna be awesome. And what a

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 4: guy to learn from Anthony Davis, who is so destructive

145
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 4: as a help guy in particular, which is where Cooper's

146
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 4: strengths are. But on the other end of the ball,

147
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: there's no guards in Dallas right now, No literally no

148
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: guards in Dallas, And you don't think that Cooper is

149
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: probably going to have a super long leash on the

150
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: offensive end to go and try and average twenty five

151
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: points per game as a rookie. Maybe he'll do it anyways,

152
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: we'll see, but just crazy. He's also going to be

153
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: playing meaningful games right away. Like that was kind of

154
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: the thing with Zach resa She this year, right Like,

155
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: the Hawks were trying to be a playoff team. They

156
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: made it to the play in Reesa Shay was a

157
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: big part of that. This is that to the next level.

158
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: The Mavericks were a play in team. They assume they'll

159
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: be better next year though Kyrie Irving is going to

160
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: be missing the season. Nonetheless, they want to be competitive

161
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 4: and he's going to be playing in these competitive games

162
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: from the jump. Yeah, and what a weird lineup it's

163
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: going to be. They are a gigantic team right now.

164
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: All their best players are six ten and over.

165
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Harrison has a lot of bags to trade

166
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: to try and get better at the guard spot.

167
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Ye.

168
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, you got assume that he will. The problem

169
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: with the whole rigged idea is, yeah, my phone is

170
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: blowing up. Well, that's right, that's right. But there's multiple

171
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: to this scenario here where this thirty nine and forty

172
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: three team was able to get the first pick. Yes,

173
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: they had to trade Luca to LA and had to

174
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 3: have a handshake deal with the NBA apparently that said, okay,

175
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: you trade him to LA, will literally give you the

176
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: first pick. But then what had to happen was Kyrie

177
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: Irving had to tear his ACL that's part of the deal.

178
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: And then Anthony Davis has to get hurt. I mean,

179
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: they had a bunch of guys get hurt, turning this

180
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: team into a thirty nine to forty three team where

181
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: they would have been better and they probably would have

182
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: been out of this lottery entirely.

183
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: There were still one game from being out of the lottery,

184
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: would have beaten the they would not have been in

185
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: the lottery.

186
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: Right, So any of these any of those guys I

187
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: mentioned just I just mentioned the top and Anthony and Kyrie,

188
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: but they had so many injuries. Everyone was injured on

189
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: their team. If basically a couple of those guys play

190
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: some games in the last two months, then they're not

191
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: in this. So it's difficult to really really come up

192
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: with that one. And then you look at the other teams. Obviously,

193
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: the painful side of things is the teams that were

194
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: so bad in Utah, Charlotte, and Washington that dropped.

195
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Do you think then we should like Trey was sort

196
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: of saying that they should reform this draft lottery then,

197
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: because this is how many years now in a row,

198
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: like the worst team in the league with the worst

199
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: overall record never wins a number one pick, since we've

200
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: gone and smoothed the lottery odds, and usually it was

201
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: the Pistons two years in a row having the worst record,

202
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: falling to five, and that was the Jazz this year

203
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: who follow the five, and then these other teams I

204
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: also fell. Do you think they should change it to

205
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: try and like, obviously, if the point is you're bad,

206
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: we want to help your chances to be more competitive

207
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: the next year by giving you the better players or

208
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the better chances at it. Or do you think that's

209
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: actually working in a weird way, Like if the whole

210
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: point is to deter tanking, well, then I guess I

211
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: guess you could say this is actually a perfect example

212
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: of like, well, don't do it then, because you're not

213
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed by any means to get one of the better picks.

214
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: What you could say is bad, but I guess if

215
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: you want to deter tanking, but it doesn't, it doesn't.

216
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: We literally had a fifteen minute segment about how come

217
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 4: tanking has become such a problem in the NBA this season.

218
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 4: None of those teams won it. So I think, well,

219
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: Adam Silver does a press conference at finals, right, I

220
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: think he'll definitely say the Competition committee is looking at

221
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 4: the lottery, yots look into it.

222
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: What do you think? What's your opinion on this? Would

223
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: you drastically change it and go back to like weighing

224
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: it more heavily for your worst teams in the league,

225
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: like twenty five percent back in.

226
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: The day, Yeah, from fourteen point whatever percent to twenty five.

227
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem all that dramatic, but it's something. I mean, yes,

228
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: they'll look at percentages, which are still just percentages. I

229
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 3: don't think you go back to saying the worst team

230
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: gets the number one pick. Never. That'll never happen, and

231
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: it shouldn't happen. We don't want a Shaquille o'neils scenario here.

232
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: We don't want that to be you know, that's what

233
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: the Utah Jazz were essentially attempting this year to be

234
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: part of that bottom three. Yeah, the percentages can change,

235
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 3: but they are lottery balls and they do happen to

236
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: fall where they fall. I do trust Ernst and Young

237
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: to drop the lottery balls and not determine exactly where

238
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: they are. And all those people sitting in that room,

239
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: that locked room that only those people can go to,

240
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 3: I think that is exactly what happens.

241
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

242
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: My conspiracy theory is it wasn't Ernst and Young who

243
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: brought the results to the table. I think go on, Yeah,

244
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: I think after the lottery room, before the delivery, there

245
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 4: was like a there's a little bit of time where

246
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: they can pull off some sort of Ocean's eleven style

247
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: heist to where they're swapping in and out the cases.

248
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: So that's why those two guys that walked on stage,

249
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: they didn't even know where to go.

250
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, if we do this every year exactly, we can't

251
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: figure out where to go.

252
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that.

253
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: I like that.

254
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: What happened? How do you explain though? Then, including our

255
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: very own Mike vorkanoff of the Athletic, all of these

256
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: media media people in the room, in the actual lottery

257
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: drawing room, watching it happen, So how do we explain

258
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: that part of it? Are they all like paid off

259
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: by the league?

260
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 4: Look, you've seen the Ocean series, You've seen the Fast

261
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: and Furious Series. At this point, you need a big team.

262
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: You don't even know who's on the team.

263
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: You need the smooth talkers, you need the tyreses.

264
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: Okay, that's Mike work.

265
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: Zach, these guys who are in on it?

266
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: But are they in on crazy? Note from Vorkanoff, who

267
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: again who was inside the lottery room. Eight teams still

268
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to win the pick before the last

269
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: ball popped out of the smart play lottery machine. Because

270
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: it is it's like it's four combo numbers right of

271
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: these lottery balls, So they all have their numbers, obviously

272
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: they're percentage wise numbers, and it's like eight teams tasks

273
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: for that final ball. I mean, man, the stakes would

274
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: have been insane in that room where it's like eight

275
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: teams are sitting there, going we might get Cooper fly

276
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: one more number one number hits. Here are some of

277
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: the cases. Obviously more than one number, but wow, eight

278
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: teams in play is pretty nuts. And the Blazers were

279
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: once again one of those teams, just like they were

280
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: with the Webbin Yama draft where they were one number short.

281
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: That last number. That's crazy.

282
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 4: Eight teams and there's only ten digits out there, so

283
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: that last ball was crazy. You want to prove it's

284
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: not red, let's toe your balls.

285
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: Why don't they do it live? Yeah?

286
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 4: Exactly, Yeah, we can watch them bouncing around other leagues

287
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: do it.

288
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would help them for sure if they just

289
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: did it live. I mean, can it be any less

290
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: entertaining than what we get in terms of what they

291
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: show us now? Exactly?

292
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: People are like, it takes too long, it's too slow.

293
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: Did you watch the first half hour?

294
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: Right?

295
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: Just the best part of that was seeing Kendrick Perkins

296
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 4: in a giant chair.

297
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: It was awesome, It was fun. It was great actually,

298
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: but it's weird. It's a thirty minute program and they

299
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: literally just ripped through it in like two minutes. At

300
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: the end, it's like you, maybe, I don't know, stretch

301
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: it out a little bit, build the make the drama,

302
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: build a little bit between picks here, and then allow

303
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: your ESPN team to maybe figure out, you know, who's dropping,

304
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: who's raising, whose odds are getting better? Because we had

305
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: that Little Sixers snaff foo there because it's like happening instantaneous.

306
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: I can't even blame Kevin for trying to get or

307
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on. I think it

308
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: was Kevin. Anyway, do it live.

309
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

310
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: Do it live. We'd love to see it. Do it live.

311
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: We do this show live. You know, shit goes rama

312
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: in this showal in time. Who cares least? You know,

313
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: what's honest and it's real.

314
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, the best part of the half hour show was

315
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: either Kendrick Perkins in his throne or just the clock

316
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: ticking down. That's all I was looking at. When is

317
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: this thing happen?

318
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: And that's the old watching million these to know. It

319
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: doesn't happen until the final ten minutes of it though.

320
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: Oh of course, yeah, yeah, well that's exactly what the

321
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: time was for. They didn't used to have that, and

322
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: that has been implemented smart. This is when it's actually happening.

323
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

324
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: I didn't tune in at the beginning with you guys,

325
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: why would I do that? I mean, the thing happens

326
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes and although I did miss Perkins in his chair,

327
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: I guess they got to have a lottery for chair,

328
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: like he got the worst water, he got the worst chair.

329
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: That was weird. Why can't they find a chair for

330
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: the guy?

331
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. That was at the other studio.

332
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: Apparently Malika Andrews showed it said Perks right on the

333
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: back of it. That's kind of a funny pick them payoff,

334
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 4: the Perkins payoff. You just have to sit like on

335
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: a giant lifted up like that the whole time it's live.

336
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Who are the other Draft lottery winners or losers? To you?

337
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Who else is on your list? Because obviously the mass

338
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: no doubt conspiracy theorists, I guess, yeah, there are winners.

339
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: The same people that believe this conspiracy theory, which I

340
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: don't actually believe it, but you could talk me into

341
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. Are the people that believe that the

342
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: we go to go to Las Vegas when they traded

343
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Luka Dodgers.

344
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: They're like, oh yeah, look at that. Well, I guess

345
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: that that conspiracy is that. Hey, you know works we

346
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: see the media these days when one thing gets proven untrue,

347
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: just move on to the next thing that you're making up, right,

348
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 4: You want to start with winners or losers?

349
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: Winners? All right? The Spurs.

350
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to talk about Riga Toni pasta once

351
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: against Cakes. These guys are being gifted a dynasty right now,

352
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: or at the very least they're getting great options. Bumping

353
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: up to number two, there was a tiny, tiny chance

354
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: they could have ended up with one and two that

355
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: even that seems far fetched that we get one of

356
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: the two. They did get number two. So is it

357
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: gonna be somebody to pair with Victor Webbin Yama? Dylan

358
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: Harper is the name that's bounced around pretty solidly at

359
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: number two. They could go slow mo style with him,

360
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: Castle and Wemby, Deer and Fox obviously still there as well,

361
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 4: a lot of lefties in the back court or the

362
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: number two pick, the reigning rookie of the year. That's

363
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: the nice start of a package for a Janis Onto

364
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: Dakoupo like player Giannis and Victor together, good luck scoring.

365
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 4: That's a lot of arms. Remember the Milwaukee Bucks had

366
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: that photo once upon a time. It was like Janice,

367
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: Larry Sanders and John Henson stretching down the court and

368
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: they're like, look at this defense, good luck scoring on them.

369
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: They would only name Victor and Jannis to do that,

370
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: to go across the entire court together. So that'd be

371
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: interesting to see where the Spurs end up because the

372
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 4: number two pick, I think is way more tradable than

373
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: getting the number one pick. You're not trading Cooper flag

374
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: if you get them, but the number two pick maybe.

375
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, they and they have the draft assets, they

376
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: have the young players, they have matching money. They could

377
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: put together a pretty enticing offer to the Bucks for Giannis,

378
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: and Yannis would see I think enough talent to go

379
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: back there. Now he would be going to the Western Conference.

380
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: That's a big loser, I guess fans of the Eastern

381
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: Conference teams. So maybe you should be Maybe you are

382
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: a winner because the West just continues to get more

383
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: and more loaded here with what's going on with Cooper

384
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: going there and all that. But yeah, what do you

385
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: think about the Spurs maybe exploring trading that number two

386
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: pick for someone like Jannis.

387
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it all depends on what they want to have

388
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: in their backcourt. Now that they have dearon Fox, they're

389
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 3: going to put Stefan Castle into a more prominent role.

390
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 3: So depends on what they deem to be the second

391
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: best player in this draft, and if they want to

392
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: get another guard with those two players. I think that's

393
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: the important part here. And yes, you could definitely look

394
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: at the packages that they would be able to put

395
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: together for Giannis. I mean the same goes for the

396
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks at number one. That has to be part

397
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: of everyone's conspiracy, still dwiddling around. That has to be

398
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: part of what gets Giannis traded if he does want

399
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 3: to be traded, because that is not a guarantee. That

400
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 3: is also a potential conspiracy out there that yes he

401
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 3: is air quotes open minded, that he's thinking it, that

402
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: he has a brain that is not going to happen

403
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 3: affirmatively yet, but maybe maybe. Well either way, the Spurs

404
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: have options and that is entirely great. Yeah, the Hawks

405
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: get a little win here because they get a draft

406
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: pick and their pick doesn't turn into a pick going

407
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: to the San Antonio Spurts. The Spurs could have lived

408
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: really got that depending on how the lottery bells fell

409
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: from the Dejon Taint Murray trade. Instead, Yeah they didn't,

410
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: and the.

411
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: Hawks Spurs still have some of their draft pack.

412
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, but it wasn't a number two pick.

413
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: That's why they technically move up one pick, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

414
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: That's why the Spurs though with you know, obviously this

415
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: number two pick, like good young talent, Like I mean

416
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: if Castle is included because you feel comfortable with obviously

417
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Fox as your lead guard, other contracts to make the

418
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: money work for you, Hon, it's because it's a big

419
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: ass contract, and then you have all this draft equity

420
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: of like other teams. I think that's a big thing,

421
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: like because then it's like now it's not just like

422
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: oh us the Spurs have to be bad for your

423
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: picks to pay off Milwaukee. It's Hawks picks. I think

424
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: they have a Wolves pick. I think they have a

425
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: King swap option. They have all these other teams sort

426
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: of picks or swaps or possibilities, which to me would

427
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: be enticing if I'm Milwaukee, because it's not again just

428
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: a wembyy honest led Spurs team where I'm hoping, like, oh,

429
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: I hope somebody tweaks a knee and they fall into

430
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: the lottery. No, it's possibly all these other teams that

431
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: you never know what happens, as we've seen obviously this

432
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: year with teams that we thought were maybe going to

433
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: be championship contenders and weren't, like the Philadelphia seventy six

434
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: Ers who got the number three pick. But yeah, they

435
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: could put together a hell of a package. We can

436
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: talk more about Giannis in a second. Sixers though too.

437
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean Darryl Moury, Like, oh my god, Like he was.

438
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: Like the great scene where we just saw like a

439
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: split second of Moury was on the table and like

440
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: after they realized the Sixers were going into the top four.

441
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: We should have stayed out of Moury camp for that one. Yeah,

442
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 4: especially with Kevin the Gandhi given the the punk pag

443
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: said the Sixers had lost their pick.

444
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: Wait a second, actually at number three was amazing. So

445
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: those three teams task again and that's what got people

446
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: up in arms. Here come, what the hell not these

447
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: three teams anyone? But these three teams, how are they

448
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: getting all gifted this? Because, yeah, the team that went

449
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: to the finals the year before and traded their generational superstar.

450
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: What the team that keeps getting like those best picks.

451
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: Obviously got Wemby two years ago, then Castle another rookie

452
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: of the year, and they're getting in here again. And

453
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: then even the Sixers, who like they had a different circumstance.

454
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: I get that because of injuries and all that, but like,

455
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: my god, they could have lost their pick for crying

456
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: out loud. Instead they're in the top three.

457
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. Those three teams had records of thirty nine and

458
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: forty three, thirty four and forty eight, and twenty four

459
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: and fifty eight, the worst one for the sixers, while

460
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: the teams that were bad ended up four through seven.

461
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: The Hornets were nineteen and sixty three, they got the

462
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: four pick, The Jazz were seventeen sixty five, they got

463
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: the fifth pick, the Wizards eighteen sixty four, and the

464
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: Pelicans at twenty one and sixty one. Yeah, so it's

465
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: like they they just dropped a ton. So that those

466
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: are the losers of this draft lottery, there's no doubt

467
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: about that. Another winner though, I think Phoenix Suns fans,

468
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: because we.

469
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: Could have been worse.

470
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like the Dallas Matvericks fans obviously went through

471
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: hell for several months, so did the Suns, and it

472
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: could have gotten way worse. The Rockets could have been

473
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: the recipient of their pick, and they are they are,

474
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: but it ended up being number ten, and they could

475
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 3: have been a recipient of a of a doozy of

476
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: an incredible pick. If they get number one, then you

477
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: just look at Matt Ishbia and you start crying as

478
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: a Phoenix Suns fan. So he avoided it.

479
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just like a single tier because they lose

480
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the number ten pick, which they could definitely use some

481
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: young falon on the team, but could have been worse. Fair.

482
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: That's fair any other winners and losers.

483
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: I think the Lakers are maybe a winner in this. Okay,

484
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 4: maps front court is getting crowded. Lakers need a center.

485
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: Guess who played for the Mavericks not too long ago

486
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: had a great pairing with one of their centers. Daniel Gafford,

487
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: probably the most likely to be moving on of all

488
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: of the bigs in Dallas. The Lakers are going to

489
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 4: be a suitor for him, and he obviously was a

490
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 4: perfect fit nets to Luka Doncic. So I think they

491
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: are probably happy to see Dallas getting a generational front

492
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 4: court player, which means maybe there's somebody better that's available

493
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: on the market this summer because there's not a ton

494
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: of names out there. But I think Gafford might be

495
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 4: gettable for the Lakers. Obviously they like to do business together.

496
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: Polinka and Nika, we'll see.

497
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: It's a good point, just Nuts, Dallas jumping up ten spots,

498
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: Spurs jumping up six spots, Philly even jumping up a

499
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: couple spots, all into the top three, and then basically

500
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: everybody else behind them dropping also you know you know

501
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: this as a Bulls fan. It was going around. Bulls

502
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: had the exact same record as the Dallas Mavericks. They

503
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: did a coin flip to decide who would be in

504
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: the I guess that would be the tenth and eleventh position.

505
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: If I have that correctly, that's right, and it came

506
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: up in the mass favor in this one. With the

507
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: numbers dropping their way.

508
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: It's the most you ever lost on a coin toss.

509
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag is now the answer for Chicago Bulls. That

510
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 4: or Josh Getty missing the half court shot. Literally, if

511
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: either of those goes the Bulls way, there's a star

512
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: in Chicago. Jesus, that's another loser for me. The Eastern Conference,

513
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag going west. The East hasn't gotten a generational

514
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: player since Lebron pretty much two generations at this point. Wow,

515
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 4: The Mainiana suitors are in the Western Conference. The Spurs

516
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 4: got the number two pick, which beefs up their asset chest.

517
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: We talked about Houston. They didn't get a top pick.

518
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: They still got a top ten pick. Not to mention

519
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 4: all the stuff they've already got. The Nets pick got

520
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 4: a little bit worse, so maybe they're less interesting. Tatum

521
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: is going to be out, probably at the start of

522
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: next season. We'll see if he comes back at all.

523
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 4: Celtics have new owners. We're not sure what they're gonna do.

524
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 4: We're gonna see some straight up weirdo all stars in

525
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference Nation.

526
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,239
Speaker 1: You're talking Jamal mcglore type all stars in these yes, probably.

527
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: Well, you're going back twenty years to Jamal McLure. The

528
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: Bulls lost a coin flip for Magic Johnson a billion

529
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: years ago. They would have had Magic Johnson if they

530
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 3: didn't lose that coin flip in nineteen seventy nine.

531
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: Damn interesting, it's even worse. I don't know.

532
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 4: They probably wouldn't have been bad in nineteen eighty four

533
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: and got Michael Jordan.

534
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: It makes us think sliding doors left and the flips

535
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 3: or just conspiracy theories. Man, you can do a coin flip,

536
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: you can do a conspiracy theory on anything. Yeah. The

537
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: Wizards also, you know, we talked about all the teams

538
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: that dropped the Jazz Hornets and the Wizards. The Wizards

539
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: just have so many good young players, but it seems

540
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: like that's all they are. Yeah, they're not an incredible

541
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 3: team that has been bad for several years. And they go,

542
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: get your Jordan Poole and you're Kyle Kuzman, Malcolm brogged

543
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: into a company, balakol of Bali, You're Bob Carrington, Alex

544
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 3: are number two pick from last year, Keishawn George. But

545
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: they don't have anyone to take them there, so they

546
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: go from second to sixth. That hurts. It just hurts

547
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: the Wizards entire organization. Really, that's a tough one.

548
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: And the Raptors falling to ninth, so they drop down

549
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: a couple spots. But then I love the Raptors. Their

550
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: social media team ready to let you know we're money

551
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: when we draft at ninth, right, Tracy McGrady, Demorta, rosen

552
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: yaka pertl All drafted ninth spot. So we're going another

553
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: stud here, Messi and Bobby Webster at nine. But yeah,

554
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: what a funny night. Draft lottery is a very funny

555
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: thing when you think about it.

556
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: They really mix it up.

557
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's us been this into some honest

558
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: talk because for the first time in his career, yannest like,

559
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I say that is it really? But Janni's

560
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: open minded about leaving the Milwaukee Bucks. According to Schamp's,

561
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: this was on Monday morning, this got this crazy day started.

562
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: Cham's reported Jannis has made no firm decisions about requesting

563
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: a trade from the Bucks, but he is open to

564
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: exploring if his best fit could be playing elsewhere. Ah Man,

565
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: this is a This is a great headline for is

566
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: this news if we're being honest, because it feels like

567
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: you didn't think it was maybe all that newsworthy and

568
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in your mouth, but like,

569
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: is this just captain obvious here to you?

570
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 3: Well, we had this scenario two years ago where we

571
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 3: asked if Joannastetic Coopo wants to be a Milwaukee long

572
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: term The answer, yes, go get me a good player.

573
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: So are we at a point two years later jihanis

574
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: wants out. I do think he is such a loyal guy.

575
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 3: I tend to lean that he wants to stay there

576
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: and there's gonna be this bridge time where they're gonna

577
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: be terrible. But that's the difference between now and two

578
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 3: years ago is that they had assets to go and

579
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: get a really good player in Damian Lillard. Now they

580
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 3: don't have those. We've gone through the entire roster to

581
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: look at what they're gonna be next year. Kyle Kuzma

582
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: is their second best player. They have so much salary

583
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: tied up in him and Yanna specifically, and Kyle and

584
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard that it's very difficult to go get somebody

585
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: beyond you know, the the non taxpayers play non taxpayers

586
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: mid level exception. There's just not a lot of money

587
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: to go around. They're gonna be bad. So it's all

588
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: up to Janni's loyalty, and he's I think he's just

589
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 3: an open minded guy. Period. We don't know. I don't know.

590
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: I really don't know.

591
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: I mean, we're going off him repeatedly saying I want

592
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: to win multiple titles in my career. Right, this is

593
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: a part of the equation here.

594
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: So told his brothers that on analysis, the analytics, then

595
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: I can never say analysis, which yeah, I say analysis,

596
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: it's standa lyrics.

597
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah nice, but yeah, it's like so now he's looking

598
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: at obviously the Bucks makeup and Damian Lillard's his torn

599
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: left achilles and what impact that has on next season,

600
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: and just obviously the roster and like the inability to

601
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: trade an he picks because they don't really have any Like, yeah,

602
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: he's going he might be looking around, going, well, if

603
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win a multiple title, a second title, it's

604
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: probably not gonna happen here, which is why we're at

605
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: this point. TK.

606
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of the buzz out of Milwaukee is that

607
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: Giannis is coming back. Literally every time he hears something

608
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: on a podcast, they're saying, yeah, we're pretty confident the

609
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: Ganness is actually gonna want to be a Buck.

610
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: He has shown loyalty.

611
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: International players don't have a long track record of asking

612
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: out and asking for trades the way these American born

613
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 4: players do. But the last two times Jannis was confronted

614
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 4: with this sort of a scenario, like tas Is saying

615
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: the Bucks were able to pull a huge trade, refit

616
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 4: their team and go forward. They're not able to do

617
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 4: this right now. So it's going to be is janis

618
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 4: in a position where he's okay being Dirk Noovisky after

619
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 4: losing to the Warriors in the first round. Is he

620
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 4: okay with being Kevin Garnet losing seven straight first round playoffs. Here,

621
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 4: he's going to the conference finals than not making it

622
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: back to the playoffs for three years.

623
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he is.

624
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: He's compared to KG in Minnesota quite a bit right now,

625
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: but he's had a much more elevated version of what

626
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: KG was doing. You know, Jiannis had a lot of

627
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 4: early success in his career. They were the best team

628
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 4: in the league, kept falling short, finally got over the

629
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: hump in twenty twenty one, but since then they've won

630
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: one series in the next four post seasons.

631
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: And that's not where.

632
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 4: Jannis wants to be. He's always talking about winning another championship,

633
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: which brings us to the Kobe Den corolary. Like Giannis

634
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: wants to be traded to a team that when he

635
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 4: gets there, he's not alone, because he's alone in Milwaukee

636
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: right now. So the teams that you look at have

637
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 4: to be able to trade young players or assets or

638
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: whatever and not have the cover be dry. Maybe that's

639
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: why Giannis has to be actively open minded right now,

640
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: because these teams got to come together with some packages.

641
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: Because this is a guy who's in the prime of

642
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: his career. We're not exactly sure how he's gonna age,

643
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: but he's a relentless player, a hard worker, and he

644
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: just gets better and better and better. The package will

645
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: be substantial to get Yannis, and we'll see if a

646
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: team can actually meet the price and make it an

647
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: attractive place for Yannis for the long term, because right now,

648
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: in the short term, it ain't attractive in Milwaukee.

649
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's set the table with what the Bucks are

650
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: looking at right now, and Giannis is Milwaukee has seven

651
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: players under contract for next season. It's Yannis, It's Kyle

652
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Kuzma like tas said AJ Green, Andre Jackson Junior, Chris Livingston,

653
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith, and then Damian Lillard, who his season is

654
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: in jeopardy with the torn left achilles tendon that he's

655
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: suffered in Game four. I mean, hopefully he comes back,

656
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: but I assume it would be much later. So you

657
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: got Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis who has a player option,

658
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: Torrian Prince, Kevin Porter Junior who has a player option,

659
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: and Gary Trent Junior. They all could become free agents

660
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: this summer. Pat Content has until like late June to

661
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: opt in to his nine point four million dollar contract

662
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: for next season, and then they have again, I'll say this,

663
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: they have basically an inability to trade any first round

664
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: picks they can I believe currently move a twenty thirty

665
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: one or twenty thirty two first round pick. That's really it.

666
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: And since John Horse took over as general manager in

667
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: what twenty seventeen, they've done a lot of moves to

668
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: obviously keep Giannis happy to go for a championship and

669
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: getting one. The Drew Holiday move is what helped them

670
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: win a championship, but it cost them a lot in

671
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: doing so. Seven first round picks, three years of pick swaps,

672
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: eighteen second rounders. This is a whole bunch of trades

673
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: that John Horse has done since he was promoted to GM,

674
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: and a big part of it. The big problem here

675
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: is they have one of the oldest rosters in the

676
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: league and they have struggled to like infuse it with

677
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: any sort of young talent to sort of like extend

678
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: this competitiveness and this championship window. And they just sort

679
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: of had They kept padding double down, double down, double down.

680
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: Worked with Drew, hasn't worked with Damian Lillard. Definitely doesn't

681
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: look like if we're going with Kyle Kuzma and now

682
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: you're in the spot, which is why I think now

683
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: Giannis is going I don't know. I don't know if

684
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen here. I've been loyal and maybe you

685
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: get the best package possible in return for me. But hey,

686
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: make it not don't make it too good. Don't I

687
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: want to compete?

688
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can see why. It sort of resembles the

689
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: end of Lebron's career in Cleveland where they emptied the cupboards.

690
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 3: They ain't got nothing left and what are we going

691
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: to do here? You can also see it emulate Dirk

692
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: Noviski's career. They won in twenty eleven, didn't win a

693
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: playoff series after that for the last eight years of

694
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: his career. Yeah, honest, Yeah, they won one, but that's

695
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: it after winning in twenty twenty one. So does he

696
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: just want to sit there and miss the playoffs next year?

697
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of what it looks like. It's

698
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: yestead of Gumbo, so he doesn't have to miss the

699
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: playoffs because he's that freaking good. It's an Eastern Conference

700
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: but but but but they really just don't even look

701
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: like they have much hope. What is it? Is it?

702
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzmak converting into a different player this summer. Is

703
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: it trying to get more out of Kevin Porter Junior

704
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: which did not end well in the series against the

705
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers because it started okay, but really they just

706
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of talent period.

707
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 4: Hot take that I'm just now formulating, not sure if

708
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: it actually makes sense. Jade turned the tic tech camera on.

709
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 4: We can't afford the TikTok. There's only one. Actually, this

710
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: is the tic tac camera because I put one and

711
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 4: a half seconds of thought into it. May twelfth, twenty

712
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: five is the best thing to happen in Milwaukee Bucks.

713
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: Yannis makes his.

714
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 4: Trade request, Cooper going west, Jason Tatum likely out for

715
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 4: the season, Yiannis can come back next season and the

716
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 4: Bucks can be a top four seed in the Eastern Conference.

717
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: The East is going to be so down next year

718
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: that Jannis's regular season performance will be enough to carry

719
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: the Bucks to near fifty wins in an East that stinks.

720
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: Is now You're like, you're right.

721
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: They were one the fifth seed this year and it

722
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 4: was mostly Yannis. I mean, Dame was great. This Dame

723
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: was good this season, all star level. They never really

724
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 4: meshed all that well, but Jannis's MVP level. They finished

725
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 4: with the fifth seed, it's not unreasonable that they could

726
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: have an awesome regular season. I don't think they're like

727
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: a title contending team, but they could definitely make the playoffs.

728
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: They could make the playoffs. Yes, I'm sure it'll be

729
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: talked about on TikTok and the analysis. Yeah, it is

730
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: the analysis and not fanalytics. I just need to say

731
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 3: that before you're right. I was analytics. Hold no, no,

732
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: I will miss every single thing. Yeah, I did say

733
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: it was analytics. It's it's the analysis.

734
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: Can we talk about this fucking podcast anyone. I'm so tired.

735
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: I've never even seen.

736
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: A client lie, but we talk about it every time.

737
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: What's your algorithm getting?

738
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: You're screwing up my algorithm with this. It's I'm getting

739
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: too much analytics.

740
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: Not seeing any clips.

741
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: The podcast no one listens to, but everybody knows it's

742
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: incredible work. Yeah, do you have any teams than you? Okay,

743
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like you think it's more likely, honest than

744
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe stays No.

745
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 4: I think honestly, I think it's a toss up, Like

746
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 4: I don't think the Bucks are gonna ship him out

747
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: just to ship him out. I also don't think they're

748
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: gona ship him to a team he doesn't want to

749
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 4: go to, like the Griz could put together a great package.

750
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: Even teams like the Pacers and Cabs, they could get

751
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 4: something together. The fit with Giannis on either of those

752
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: teams that's super interesting. Just doesn't seem realistic to me

753
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: that the Bucks would do that. So the Bucks need

754
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 4: something that's gonna benefit them, which who knows what They're

755
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 4: gonna be looking for. Probably young players more so than picks,

756
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 4: I would have to imagine, since they don't have their

757
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: own picks, and the team that's getting honest is gonna

758
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 4: be good, Like you're not trading honest to get the

759
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 4: twenty eighth pick the other year for five years, you

760
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.

761
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: Uh, That's why I like the Spurs with other teams

762
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: picks the Thunder have a team totals like I mean,

763
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: if the Thunder come up short and don't win the title.

764
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: I've said this before, I think they very much could

765
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: be in play for an incredible package they could put

766
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: together to the Bucks free honest, But that's TBD because

767
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: you know they're in a two two series right now

768
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: in the second round.

769
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, what Yahnis wants to do post championship is the

770
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: big question here. He also definitely talked about the bigger

771
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: markets and how that's great for European players, and so

772
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: the bigger markets he was referring to were the biggest

773
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: of big markets. You know, your LA's in your New York,

774
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: so that the Memphis side of things, that's unlikely. I

775
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: don't know if he wants to go to the Spurs.

776
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 3: And you know the difference is he won a freaking championship,

777
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure. I gotta watch my analysis to

778
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 3: watch about how much he wants he really really desires

779
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 3: a second NBA championship, because yes, he could be traded immediately,

780
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure.

781
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: I just don't know. We'll wait to hear what Yanni says.

782
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 3: Will we get there, you won't say anything, you won't

783
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: say anything. This year. He said what he had to

784
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 3: say two years ago, and it worked because they wouldn't

785
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: got Damian Luluke. You know it worked, but it didn't work.

786
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 3: But uh, this year, I don't think. I don't think

787
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: he's talking.

788
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: So wait, so you think if the Giannis trade happens,

789
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: this summer. It's going to be almost like the Luca riety,

790
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: or it comes out of nowhere and we're like, whoa.

791
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we've talked about it for months. It ain't

792
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 3: Luca because we didn't talk about Luca for the second.

793
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: We've talked about Jannis for years.

794
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: So you don't think Giannis is going to go on

795
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: record at some point here after he talks with his

796
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: agents and say all right, let's let's part ways. Let's

797
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: try and obviously help the organization has been great to

798
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: me for twelve years, but also get me to where

799
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: I want to go. You don't think we'll get any

800
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: sort of like Sham's reporting on that.

801
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: That doesn't help his organization enough where everybody knows he

802
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: wants to be dealt what really, Yeah, I don't think so.

803
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to agree because that was the problem

804
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: with the Luca Lakers trade that no other team knew

805
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: that maybe the Dallas Mavericks wanted to trade him, and

806
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: thus they could not make an offer well that was

807
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: better than the Lakers made.

808
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 3: Well that was the front office only talking to one team. Yeah,

809
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: give some calls to other teams. I don't think John

810
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: Horsse would ever do that. I think Giannis would talk

811
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 3: to John Horst about it, But I don't think he's

812
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: going to go out and say trade me please, because

813
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 3: of the trade value scenario.

814
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, I don't know.

815
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: It's good and bad.

816
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: But I could see us getting a Yannis list for sure.

817
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: All right, get me to New York, get me to

818
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: wherever one of the Texas teams, get me to on

819
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: Miam whatever, blah blah blah blah, whatever he wants. But

820
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't play that way. We'll find out.

821
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe not in some of those teams, like just

822
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 4: don't have realistic packages to put together for the Bucks,

823
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 4: Like they're always in the mix, for sure, but you

824
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 4: want Bam and Tyler, Hero Matt and then it's just

825
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 4: Janas and Wiggins there together. It doesn't make any sense

826
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 4: to me.

827
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: I do wonder to know if the Knicks are like, man.

828
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 4: We spent five first round picks, the Julius Randall contract

829
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: and everything on Michale Bridges and Karl Anthony Towns. If

830
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 4: we would have waited one year, we could have got Yanis.

831
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 4: But they're also gonna be in the contra.

832
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right. Let's se segue there. Let's

833
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: talk about the New York Knicks, because they clawed back,

834
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: clawed their way back, excuse me from down fourteen, this

835
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: time in Game four to beat the Celtics. Another close win.

836
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 1: They take the three to one series lead Boston, though,

837
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: Let's start with this. They lost more than a game

838
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: last night. Tatum exited late in the fourth quarter after

839
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: sustaining a non contact lower leg injury. It did not

840
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: look good. He'll under He'll undergo an MRI today. His

841
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: season I would think is over. That sure looked like

842
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: you're a torn achilles type injury or he was grabbing

843
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: at it looked bad. So Tatum Tatum leaves this game.

844
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it was gonna matter in that game itself.

845
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: Task I think the Knicks were pulling away at that time.

846
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: Tatum was doing his best to carry of them. But

847
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: he had forty two points sixteen to twenty eight shooting.

848
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: It was his best game of the postseason. He had

849
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: eight boards for us, his four steals, two blocks. He

850
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: was doing everything. But you know that was the play.

851
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Og had the steal, of course, and then the dunk,

852
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: and I think that put them up seven, maybe nine.

853
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: It's three minutes ago, so I think the Knicks we're

854
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: gonna win it regardless. Anyway, this definitely changes not only

855
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: this series the Celtics chances to come back in it,

856
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: but maybe their future and this summer in decisions they'll

857
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: have to make with this roster and expensive roster at.

858
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 3: That absolutely well, you could see what Jalen Brown decided.

859
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to put the team on my shoulders and

860
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 3: try and win this game the last three minutes and

861
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: Jalen has been disappointing this series in all. Honestly, this

862
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 3: started as such a great game. This was an incredible

863
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: game to watch Jason Tatum and Derek White come out

864
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 3: in the first quarter and splash, splash, splash, running plays

865
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: for one pass away from Derek White who was splashing

866
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 3: those threes. Fourteen points in the first quarter for him,

867
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 3: and fifteen points in the first quarter for Tatum, and

868
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: such great defense from Jason Tatum. That's the terrible part.

869
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: The terrible part for the Celtics was they didn't really

870
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: have a number three guy in this game just to

871
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: help out. I know Jalen Brown ended up with twenty points,

872
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 3: but he hasn't been himself this series. This is another

873
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: guy who came into the playoffs with knee injury worries,

874
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 3: but he had four turnovers in this game. His shooting

875
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: percentage had been thirty eight from the floor twenty two

876
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 3: point six percent from three for this series. You can

877
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 3: see when he's starting that flow, when he's starting that

878
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: shot form, that it's just a tiny bit slower. But

879
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: regardless of evaluating what's going on, he hasn't been right.

880
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 3: This was such a freaking great game. You get performances

881
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 3: from those two guys, but it ain't enough against a

882
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: team where, yeah, you gave up a lot of picks

883
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: for Mchal Bridges, but this guy has come through in

884
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: this series.

885
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: He had an early aggressiveness. I thought to him last night,

886
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: the bounce was there for Bridges, and like, yeah, he

887
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: was amazing throughout the entire game. He'd been saving it

888
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: for like one quarter at a time in those other

889
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: games in this series. But I thought the entirety of

890
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: that game he was locked in, And man, you said

891
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: how great this game was. How awesome was when Brunton

892
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: and Tatum were like trading shots in the third quarter. Yeah,

893
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: and Madison Square Garden is going nuts with every shot

894
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: from both sides. That was such fun game.

895
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but just to go through the Celtics, so they

896
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: had their best two were incredible and Tatum and White,

897
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: but the performances from the Knick supporting players was just

898
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: it was too much. Jayalen Brunson, after an eighteen point

899
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: third quarter, goes to the bench. Mckel bridges everything running

900
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 3: through him to start that fourth quarter, and he was

901
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: just so good at it. They're setting him up at

902
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: the top of the key and he goes left, he

903
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: goes right, or they get him on the wing to

904
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: run his getting to the mid range to his thing

905
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 3: at ten of his twenty three points in that fourth

906
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: quarter and obviously the steal that led to unfortunately Jason

907
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 3: Tatum's injury. And oj Anobi was a monster in this game.

908
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: He's got a hamstring injury. He left the game with

909
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: a hamstring injury and he comes back to hit huge shots.

910
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 3: So that guy almost played twenty four minutes in the

911
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 3: second half. Just had a real quick spurt to get

912
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 3: to the bench. But he had a perfect fourth quarters

913
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: or nine points. You don't think of the Knicks as

914
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: they have this incredible depth in terms of offensive players.

915
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: We don't think him as a deep team. But they

916
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 3: come through because Tom Thibodeau did it. I don't know

917
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: how he did. Mckel Bridges's plays every minute in that

918
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 3: second half. Oh, jannob plays enough, Jalen Brunt to play.

919
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: We'm not even gonna mention Josh Harp. But the offensive rebounds.

920
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 3: I think we're so important to this team.

921
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean had a good game, twenty three points. And

922
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson, yeah, he ate on the offensive class, especially

923
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: in the first I think he had five in the

924
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: first half alone, had a couple more in the seconds.

925
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: He was great.

926
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 4: Anybody say Brunson yet, well he did yeah, okay, good.

927
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: He had his best game of the playoffs, and this

928
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 4: is no surprise. The next best game of the playoffs.

929
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 4: He had thirty nine points, twelve assists, Boston up fourteen

930
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 4: with eight minutes forty five seconds left in the third quarter.

931
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: Starting then was the Brunton Barrage. Great line by Mike

932
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 4: Brain twenty six points and six assists for Brunson.

933
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: From that point on, he.

934
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 4: Said, I can't wait for the fourth quarter. In this one,

935
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 4: clutch time starts now. Because the Celtics were playing pretty well,

936
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 4: Tatum was getting any shot. He wanted the double screen

937
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 4: was working once again. They couldn't get to the Jalen

938
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 4: Brown post ups, but the stagger screen was getting wide

939
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 4: open looks for Tatum. He was playing Austin. They were

940
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 4: trading baskets back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

941
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 4: Brunston just showed up majorly when the team absolutely needed them.

942
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: You consider clutch time the last five minutes with the

943
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 4: score five points or less, but I'm telling you those

944
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: last nine minutes of the third quarter that was as

945
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 4: clutch as anything Jalen Brunton did in the fourth quarter. Then,

946
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 4: like you mentioned, Bridges was huge. This guy does, I think,

947
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 4: save it for the fourth quarter when he knows I'm

948
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 4: going to be the main perimeter player for the Knicks.

949
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 4: He loves to catch the ball in the right corner,

950
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 4: dribble as fast as he possibly can to the free

951
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 4: throw line, and then fade away and end up at

952
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 4: the three point line. That is his signature shot. He

953
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 4: was money with it. Towns was a tough guy last night.

954
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 4: I love the way he played. He was inside almost

955
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 4: all night. Twenty three points, eleven rebounds. He was one

956
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 4: of four on shots away from the rim, which means

957
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 4: he was ten of eleven at the rim. Not to

958
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: mention he was doing a good job when he was

959
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 4: caught on ISOs with Jason Tatum. I mean Tatum was

960
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 4: cooking last night.

961
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: What can you do?

962
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: But he was part of the reason I thought Jalen

963
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 4: Brown had a down game. The Knicks were willing to

964
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 4: switch because Towns was not playing well in the drop,

965
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 4: so they'd just say, hey, man, just go guard him.

966
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 4: Do your best. We saw him do it against Kevin

967
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: Durant with the Timberwolves last year. He was a solid

968
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 4: defender against k against the Nuggets last year. When he's

969
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: engaged what he's playing to his strengths, he can do

970
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 4: it because he's athletic, and he's big and he's quick.

971
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 4: You guys mentioned all the offensive rebounds between Robinson, Towns

972
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 4: and Heart. They had ten offensive rebounds. The threes from

973
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: og timely, the Steels timely. The Knicks played an awesome game.

974
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 4: They're Game four. I'm sure they wish that would have

975
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 4: been Game three, but maybe starting a little bit later,

976
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 4: getting the adult crowd there. Timothy Shalla May given kisses

977
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 4: every time they scored. This was an awesome Knicks game.

978
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 4: Were I a Knicks fan, I'd be very excited for you,

979
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 4: but man, it was the bounce back game to end

980
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 4: all bounce back games.

981
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, best basketball the Knicks have played this post far overall. Yeah,

982
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: and now many they could have had a whole other

983
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: Knicks team with all the alumni in the crowd there.

984
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: It's that photo they took like fourteen, like nixed legends

985
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: was so to speak on the court, I mean, Marbury

986
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: there going nuts. No one was having more fun than

987
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: Stephan Barbury when that game was like eighty eight eighty five,

988
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: I think headed into the fourth, they showed him he

989
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: is just like pumping his fist in the quarter. He's

990
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: like coming out in the court. I know we've seen

991
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: John Starks do that before. I thought Marbury took him

992
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: to the next level. How engaged he wasn't in this game,

993
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: But what a game for that MSG crowd. And just

994
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: unfortunate here with the Tatum injury at the end, because

995
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: now it's like a I mean, I don't know if

996
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: you have any hopes that the Celtics can sort of

997
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: make this a series still or is it a rap

998
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: as we wait to find out the severity of his injury.

999
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 3: It sure it feels like it's a rap. Shouldn't given

1000
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: away those first two games. That was pretty important when

1001
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 3: you look back at this thing and the Knicks are

1002
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 3: going to their first conference finals since two thousand. That's freak.

1003
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: They played the Pacers, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1004
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: think they lost them nice.

1005
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pacers definitely won that got to the finals. Yeah,

1006
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 3: should be a fun one if they both get there

1007
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: because they ain't over. But yes, it feels like the

1008
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 3: next played their best game here in game four. Yeah,

1009
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 3: to see all their alumni running onto the court, that's

1010
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 3: the cool part when they you know, they get to

1011
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: run onto the front or you know that everybody everybody

1012
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: running onto it. So that was great. Celebrity rows too. Yeah,

1013
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: you mentioned Chalome John Legazamu. He was great at a

1014
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 3: lot of good guess.

1015
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 4: I saw Schallo May met up with Amari Stoudemier afterwards,

1016
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: and there's that picture of when he's like ten years old,

1017
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 4: medium Mary Stoudemeyer outside of like an opera or something

1018
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 4: like that.

1019
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: He said, tied the loop.

1020
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 4: I love this guy, the great guy. Here's the problem

1021
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 4: for the Celtics. Only one day rest for the next

1022
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 4: game for Game five, and I thought their old guys

1023
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 4: really struggled. We talked about how awesome Al Horford was

1024
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 4: in Game three. He was so hyped up he was

1025
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 4: jumping twice. He said it was the fastest guy on

1026
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 4: the court in the second half last night. Five points,

1027
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: five rebounds, four assists, two steals, just didn't really have

1028
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 4: much of an impact on the game. Drew Holliday kind

1029
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 4: of the same four points, four rebounds, three assists. Now

1030
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 4: they have a bigger load to carry with Jason Tatum

1031
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 4: being out, so we're gonna have to see Jaalen Brown

1032
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 4: back into finals MVP mode. And this is a guy

1033
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 4: that's dealing with injections in his knee. He's had up

1034
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: and down games for sure, but this definitely wasn't his

1035
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 4: best game in Game four, and now all eyes are

1036
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 4: going to be on taking him out of the game.

1037
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, add on Chris Asparzingis has not looked good,

1038
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: so they just haven't had a third option. And in

1039
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: this game, where again White and Tatum were awesome, so good,

1040
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: they just need somebody to step up. It's odd to

1041
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: say two days rest the Knicks are going to be

1042
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 3: way better when they play for again, every minute of

1043
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 3: every they're conditioned, they're ready to go.

1044
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: Nobody has come back from three to one down since

1045
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: Denver did it twice in the twenty twenty Walt Disney Bubble,

1046
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: so it hasn't happened actually with a true road game,

1047
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: you know, that type of series, because they're obviously playing

1048
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: on a neutral court there during the pandemic, since Cleveland

1049
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: came back against Golden State in the twenty sixteen NBA Finals,

1050
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: So it's been a minute since a real legit, you know,

1051
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 1: back three to one when you're going home and away

1052
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: and home and away. So Celtics gonna likely have to

1053
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: do it without Jason Tatum, and man, I don't know,

1054
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: that looked like such a bad injury. Feels like I

1055
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: don't know, is that a lost year? Was like Tatum

1056
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: done for an entire season? Again, we'll wait to see,

1057
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: but holy crap. When we got that shot of him

1058
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: in the wheelchair when they went to the you know,

1059
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: the tunnel cameras, oh my god, I didn't not look good.

1060
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,439
Speaker 4: Of course, I also thought it looked bad when he

1061
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 4: was like, I mean, he was laying face down on

1062
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 4: the court and they cut to close up of him

1063
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: and he's shaking his head and then nodding his head.

1064
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 4: That was to me them say it's your ankle, no, yeah,

1065
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 4: something else, yeah.

1066
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1067
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 4: So we'll see what the Celtics end up doing. They

1068
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 4: got new ownership coming in. It's gonna make sense for

1069
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 4: them if Tatum is gonna be out for the season

1070
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 4: to like get under the second apron at the very

1071
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 4: least kind of like reset their apron clock so that

1072
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 4: they can have more flexibility going forward. But we'll see

1073
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 4: when it ends up being the diagnosis and what they

1074
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 4: end up deciding to do. Because they are aging, Drew's

1075
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 4: getting older, Al Horford's getting older, They're gonna have to

1076
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 4: find a way to get their team cheaper so that

1077
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 4: they can continue this run they've been on.

1078
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: One more thought on Jalen Brunson. Is this guy on

1079
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 1: the cusp of being like a top three Knicks player

1080
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: of all time already. I know that seems insane to

1081
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,959
Speaker 1: say out loud, but I was thinking about it. It's like, Okay,

1082
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: I think Patrick ewings there, and I think Clyde Fraser

1083
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: are guaranteed there, and then I think Willis Reid as

1084
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: a two time finals MVP, and then I'm like, Brunson's

1085
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: played almost thirty five playoff games with the Knicks, he's

1086
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: averaging thirty points per game, seven assists, and four boards.

1087
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: That's his entire playoff career with the Knicks. He's won

1088
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: a couple first round series, obviously trying to get to

1089
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: a conference finals now maybe even a finals. The guy

1090
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: stepped up time and time again in a lot of

1091
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: these series, Like is he right there with you know,

1092
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: Earl Monroe and Mellow and Bernard King?

1093
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 4: And I think so, yeah, I think he's probably okay, fourth, Yeah,

1094
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 4: I think that's right. So guys that won the titles, Yeah, yeah,

1095
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 4: that's fair. But my god, and I would say he's

1096
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 4: ahead of all those guys who took photos on the

1097
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 4: court last night. I think I don't know who all

1098
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 4: they were, but I looked it up. Stephan mart Berry.

1099
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 4: How many career playoff games did he win with New

1100
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 4: York Knicks?

1101
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: Zero? Okay, yeah, all those guys. You're right, I'm trying

1102
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: to think of everybody out there. He is from all

1103
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: the guys I can picture in that picture, he is

1104
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 1: ahead of them.

1105
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 4: Garry Johnson, he is. He's ahead of Mellow. Mellow is

1106
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 4: the big mission right now, is like the our generation

1107
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 4: stars for the Knicks. He's done more than Mellow has

1108
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 4: as a nick for sure.

1109
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild to me. I mean it's he's just

1110
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: been that crazy good. Anything else on this one? Any

1111
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: random notes?

1112
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 4: I did like, obviously the Knicks have their fan section

1113
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 4: outside the pickleball court, and since they were playing later

1114
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 4: in the day because of the like the sun going down,

1115
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 4: the lights being on in the pickleball club, you could

1116
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 4: see people inside playing pickleball while the Knicks were on,

1117
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 4: like they're huge fourth corner runs. I wonder if it

1118
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 4: would be distracting or for the like, oh nice, the

1119
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 4: Knicks must be.

1120
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 1: Up, yeah, one two to one. Now how you score

1121
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: a JD's something like that?

1122
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 4: Four three two four three two.

1123
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: I like that. Did you guys catch there was like

1124
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: early in the game there seemed to be some MSG feedback.

1125
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't just through you know, our television sets, because

1126
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: you could see Jalen Brown plugging his ears. He was

1127
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: getting ready to the free throw. Do you guys catch that?

1128
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: Like must have Like, I don't know, there was a

1129
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: mic on a weird feedback and he started going like

1130
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: this sensitive ears. It may have affected him. I think

1131
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: he missed one of the free throws. Yeah, so something

1132
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: was off and confirm. I can confirm as much as

1133
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: I love him, Jalen Brunson, I just said this guy

1134
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: might be a top three next player of all time already.

1135
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: He is an habitual towel chopper. Oh no, there was

1136
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: another shot of him straight towel in the mouth, chopping

1137
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: away because I thought last time maybe he just did

1138
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: that put in his mouth to put his jacket on,

1139
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: keep it there.

1140
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 3: No, he was just chopping.

1141
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: So don't like that, Jayleen, shivers up my spine.

1142
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 4: Towel is the HTC. That's your pickup up next year?

1143
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 4: Just one big chump or you guys chomping away.

1144
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: That's worse. Yeah, it's something about seeing it. I'm talking

1145
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: about it and it's good. I know you think I'm

1146
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: overaprop This is one weird thing. It's not even a

1147
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: throw up. It's just like like the hairs on the

1148
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: back of my neck stand up and it like sends

1149
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: a shiver down my spine just thinking about it. It's weird,

1150
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: I know. All right, moving on, Yeah, we can move on, okay.

1151
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: In the nightcap, the Timberwolves won their third straight game

1152
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: to take a three to one Western Conference semifinals lead

1153
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: back to Minnesota for a potentially decisive Game five. Golden

1154
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: State playing without Steph Curry here in Game four, and

1155
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: it showed Warriors were held to just seventeen points in

1156
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: the third quarter right as Anthony Edwards took over tasks

1157
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: similar honestly to the game before Edward's second half takeover.

1158
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: Randall doing a lot of the heavy lifting early and

1159
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: the Wolves take care of business one seventeen, one ten.

1160
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: A little bit. Yeah, it took him a little while

1161
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 3: in that third quarter of game number three to get

1162
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 3: going and then he realized, all right, this is how

1163
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 3: the Warriors are playing me. I'm totally comfortable now he

1164
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 3: realized who he was in game number three's second half,

1165
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: But it started a little earlier, I thought when they

1166
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: went into the locker room second quarter. That last shot

1167
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 3: that he made was incredible because he is realizing how,

1168
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 3: how and where they're pressuring him beyond the three point line,

1169
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 3: so that mean crossover and then preventing Draymond Green from

1170
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 3: getting anywhere close to him and just rising up from

1171
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 3: feet that was ridiculous. So yeah, he smelled blood in

1172
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 3: the third quarter. He was absolutely incredible. Sixteen points for

1173
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 3: him he just put him away, done and done. Obviously,

1174
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 3: the Warriors didn't have it. Jimmy Butler coming off the

1175
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler game in his best game in Game three,

1176
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 3: didn't have it, being I think it was fifth in

1177
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 3: shot attempts in their game nine shots.

1178
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they said he was sick.

1179
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah right.

1180
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,959
Speaker 4: He also played a ton of minutes the previous game.

1181
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 4: Jimmy has not had good games. After playing forty minutes, they.

1182
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: Know they've blew their opportunity in Game three. That was

1183
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: we did talk about that. That was the one they

1184
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: had sort of kept it low scoring enough, but yeah,

1185
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Edwards in that one and then Randall

1186
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: obviously were huge down the stretch. Both those guys and.

1187
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 4: Without Steph Curry, the Timberwolves have had the two best

1188
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 4: players for the entirety of the series. John Krasinski nailed

1189
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 4: it at the Athletic. The Timberwolves lost three of the

1190
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 4: fourth quarters in the game. They were out hustled and

1191
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 4: out smarted for the entirety of the first half, and

1192
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 4: it did not really matter. Thirty nine to seventeen. Destruction

1193
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 4: of the third quarter was all they really needed to

1194
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 4: catapult them to a three to one lead in the series.

1195
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 4: They had one huge quarter and that ended up being

1196
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 4: enough because the what are they even trying to say?

1197
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: Completely forgot my team.

1198
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 4: Warriors were leading at half and they pulled their starters

1199
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 4: with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. That's crazy

1200
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 4: to get blown out that hard. Now, their bench guys

1201
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 4: made it into a game a little bit. Gie Santos,

1202
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: He's probably earned a little bit of playing time in

1203
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 4: Game five just to get more people on the court.

1204
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 4: But you can tell one team has eight guys they

1205
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 4: trust and one team has maybe five guys that they're

1206
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 4: trying to throw out there, one of which is Brandon Pajemski,

1207
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 4: who's barely playing. But this has been a tail of

1208
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: two halves the entire series through the first four games.

1209
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 4: Here tys tye score at the end of halftime even

1210
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 4: point differential. Minnesota, though, is a plus twenty five total

1211
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 4: in the second halves. They rebound better, they shoot better,

1212
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 4: they play faster, they move the ball. The second half

1213
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 4: of this one, they had thirteen assists on nineteen field goals.

1214
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 4: They just looked like they were a step ahead of

1215
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 4: Golden State the entire time in the second half, until

1216
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 4: the bench guys came in and gave them a little

1217
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 4: energy on the Golden State side.

1218
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they look so much younger as they did in

1219
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 3: Round number one against the Los Angeles Lakers. But their

1220
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 3: most consistent guy here has been Julius Randall Over Anthony Edwards,

1221
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 3: he has been so damn good. He's been their guy

1222
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 3: that they depend on. Twenty four point six boards, eight

1223
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 3: assists is what he's averaged throughout this series. Ninety five

1224
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: percent from the free throw line. That guy doesn't miss

1225
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 3: free throws, so he has been their rock. And then

1226
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 3: Edwards takes his time to figure out, Oh, they're pressuring

1227
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 3: me at the three point line. I got to get

1228
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 3: to the rim. He literally missed at the rim for

1229
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 3: the first two games a centi and then start to

1230
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 3: come to him in the third game, and now he's

1231
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 3: he's done. Game three was the time for the Warriors

1232
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 3: to steal one and get staff back. He's coming back

1233
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 3: for Game five.

1234
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd put it at point zero zero zero one percent.

1235
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: I don't think he's there for Game five, so they're

1236
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to obviously extend this and maybe get it

1237
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: back to the Bay. But Minnesota, like you know, Ant,

1238
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: he smells blood as you said, and like, I think

1239
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: I love Ant on the road too. I think he's

1240
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: just like he gets more locked in with the like

1241
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: talking trash with the fans and doing all celebration he does.

1242
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: He's just one of those scary players like, oh he

1243
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: might be, you know, more scary on the road than

1244
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: he is at home. But back to Randall, quick trivia

1245
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: question for you guys. He had ten points in the

1246
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: first quarter. I think he has sixty two first quarter

1247
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: points here in the playoffs. Can you name the only

1248
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: three guys have more first quarter points throughout this postseason?

1249
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: And they're all, you know, one guy's well, I'd give

1250
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: it away with what I would say, but two superstars here.

1251
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:56,959
Speaker 3: And they were all did they make the second round?

1252
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: I guess you're saying they are.

1253
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: They're all they're all playing right now. No, not done,

1254
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: Mian Mitchell.

1255
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 4: Okay, see maybe maybe maybe.

1256
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, stick with Okay, don't ever think it. Yeah, Ja

1257
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: Sga is one guy with more first quarter points. The

1258
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: other guy he won't be playing in first quarters anymore unfortunately.

1259
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: J t Yeah, Jason Tatum and then uh, it's an

1260
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: easy giveaway to give you the answer. But never made

1261
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: an All Star team. Never a real.

1262
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 4: Good and all start King Jamal Murray, Yeah.

1263
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: So SGA Jamal Murray, Tatum and then Randall as like

1264
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: your guys like coming out of the blocks hot in

1265
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: the postseason so far in first quarter scoring. Any other

1266
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: notes on this one. This was the weird game from

1267
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: yesterday because there was so much going on that it's

1268
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: just got like this one's a bit of a forgotten

1269
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: game and the Wolves just took care of business. But

1270
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: anything else we should touch on.

1271
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 4: There's been five games this playoff where Jimmy Butler's played

1272
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 4: forty or more minutes. In those games, he's averaging twenty

1273
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 4: five points per game. Makes sense, more minutes, elevating his

1274
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 4: game playoff Jimmy all that stuff in the games immediately

1275
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 4: following a forty minute game, which includes he played three

1276
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 4: straight forty minute games, so I'm including those couple in

1277
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 4: there as well. Fourteen point eight points per game. They

1278
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 4: said he had an illness. It's also just like hard

1279
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 4: for Jimmy to be the only guy out there generating

1280
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 4: offense and there is nobody else really that's given him offense.

1281
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: Kaminga did his thing.

1282
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 4: He scored a lot in the first half, but without

1283
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 4: pods doing anything. Buddy Healed had a nice first half

1284
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 4: as well, and it was just all Timberwolves after that.

1285
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 4: There was a beautiful highlight that wasn't in this game.

1286
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 4: End of the first quarter. N Kile Alexander Walker scores

1287
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 4: at the rim. Kaminga grabs the ball from underneath, chucks

1288
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 4: at baseball style, goes super high. Nice catch my Gary

1289
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 4: Payton the second. I don't think you would favor him

1290
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 4: catching the ball over Anthony Edwards, but he played it

1291
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 4: perfectly like a Randy Moss catches it, shoots the jumper,

1292
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 4: bo bounces out.

1293
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah almost Yeah. Speaking of Gary Payton, did you see

1294
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards got a Gary Peyton's sign jersey the og

1295
00:57:56,040 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: oh gp Okay, nice from Gary too. No, I think

1296
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: it's from Gary one. I assumed he was signed by

1297
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: Gary One.

1298
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 4: That'd be really weird Gary.

1299
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: To deliver it. Oh that, I'm not sure. I don't

1300
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: know how he got it was? Was Gary Payton? Maybe

1301
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: in attendance? Yeah, yeah, okay, so yeah, I assume it

1302
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: was from Gary One, signed by Gary one to ant

1303
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: one want he loves them. He just loves me, he said.

1304
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: He was saying, I'm paraphrasing but basically like this guy

1305
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: was a dog. He loved them the way he played.

1306
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: That makes sort of sense. The trash talk in intense.

1307
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, obviously a winner. So yeah, fun moment there. Okay,

1308
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: before we go, it's time for the prime moment of

1309
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: the week.

1310
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 3: The prime moment of the week is these fans had

1311
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 3: a playoff game. They probably love basketball, but they love

1312
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: each other even more because they were kissing and smooching

1313
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 3: and making out at a playoff game. This pub display

1314
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 3: of affection is so lovely. It doesn't matter that they're

1315
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 3: at Game three of the Warriors Timberwolves. They just want

1316
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 3: to be close to each other. All this talk online,

1317
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 3: Hey get a room. They don't need a room, They've

1318
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: got an entire arena. They just showed so much love

1319
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 3: to each other. I enjoyed it.

1320
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 4: Not everybody can get on the kiss cam, right, but

1321
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 4: this was a separate kiss cam.

1322
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and this fan here on the left notices she says,

1323
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of them. Good for that, really great

1324
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 3: for them.

1325
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: Their beautiful stuff.

1326
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 3: It is.

1331
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 4: The Western Conference Center, man, do you think they are

1332
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 4: Warriors fans in there?

1333
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Blue? Yeah, at least like Warriors. Good seats there, big

1334
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: game obviously at the point, Yeah, I just wonder they

1335
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: went home, you know, did it ruin their night? Because

1336
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: looking at that photo, you got an idea where that

1337
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: night's going. But you know, is that that you know,

1338
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: tough loss? Does that change things?

1339
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 4: Was a passionate kiss? I don't know, you turn it

1340
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 4: off at Yeah, maybe.

1341
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 3: They have to go watch another sport, some hockey. They're

1342
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 3: just playing tonsil hockey.

1343
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well, maybe we'll see some kissing in the stands.

1344
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Tonight's two games on T and T Pacers Calves, Indie

1345
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: up three to one so they can advance to the

1346
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: conference finals for the second year in a row. And

1347
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: then we've got a pivotal game five in Okay see

1348
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 1: nine to thirty start Nuggets thunder and quick predictions here

1349
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: for tonight. How's this go down? I got the Cleveland Cavaliers, Yes, okay, yes,

1350
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: I guess Mitchell game time decision GDH. See how that

1351
01:00:58,920 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: ankle is.

1352
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 3: He's been fighting it, so I think he does come

1353
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 3: back to the interesting Yeah, the Denver Okase matchup very interesting.

1354
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a coin flip for me.

1355
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I'll go with both road teams win Indiana

1356
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 4: and Denver. I'm a little I'm a little worried for Cleveland.

1357
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 4: They got Donovan Mitchell on a bomb ankle, Darius Garland

1358
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 4: on a bomb tee, Evan Mobley also on a bum

1359
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 4: ankle against a team that likes to play really really fast.

1360
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,439
Speaker 1: Not ideal. Okay, Well, then we're gonna I'm gonna cover

1361
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: our entire bases here. I'll take the Calves to win

1362
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: and extend the series, and I'll take the Thunder to

1363
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: go up three to two in that series and take

1364
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: that pivotal game five in. Hopefully both of these are close,
