00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: lined up, We have our Eastern Conference Finals preview and predictions. Yes,

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: Hawks versus the Bucks tip off tonight game one, so

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: we'll get into that talk a little bit about the

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: NBA Draft lottery, the winners and losers, some of our

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: favorite moments. But we start by throwing a naleu to

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: a man. Task here eight and sores for the last

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: second hoop as the Suns beat the Clippers. Un insane

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: game kept us all up pretty late here on the

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: East Coast. But uh, tasks have at it. What did

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: you think of that one?

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I loved it. What a phenomenal game. I mean, this

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: thing had it all. A team never up double digits

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: throughout the entire games, so you're just drawn in because

34
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: you didn't know where it was going to go, especially

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: with the coaching of these two guys like Monty Williams

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: lets mckel Bridges under three minutes left shoot when he

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: was sort of invisible all game. He was one to

38
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: five all game. He hit one field goal. They'd run

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: a play for him out of a timeout for Bridges

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: to hit a three, and he did. Everybody is making plays.

41
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Usually in that situation, you just go to your best player,

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: right Devin Booker, You're coming off a forty point game.

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: You got this take us home, man. But the coaching

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: was matched from the other side. Patrick Beverly was starting

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: in this game for the first time in a month,

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and he did a great job against Devin Booker. So

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: Den Booker was sort of taken out of this game.

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean everything is just sort of puzzling things you

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect. Cameron Payne was the leading scorer of this game,

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty nine points. A guy you know, released from his

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: last two NBA teams. He went to the g Leigue,

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: he went to China. He a scored twenty nine. He

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: had the up and under in the lane. He save

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: Dario Sariz from being a Ben Simmons when he didn't

55
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: dunk the ball. I mean, he was getting to the rim.

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: He was doing everything. Obviously. DeAndre Ayton with twenty four points,

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: it was he had that first huge valupe. I thought

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: that would be his biggest value out like gorgeous plays everywhere,

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: even like everybody like Patrick Beverly again starting for the

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: first time in a month. Great move by Tylu like

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: he pumped, faked on a three, looked at his defender

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: and then hit a three in his face. I mean, where, Wow,

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: who's writing this stuff like this? And then getting to

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: the end of the game, yea, the villain. You have

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: the villain in Patrick Beverley. This game definitely has it

66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: all the ridiculous flop on Devin Booker getting in his

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: face headbutting him, you know, by accident or whatever, and

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: then saying to him like, hey man, we're friends, like

69
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: the fake high five. Devin Booker's like, no, I'm not

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: going to give you a high five, man, I'm playing

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: basketball against you. I hate you. And and and we

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: almost had two game winners at the end there with

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Devin Booker hitting the go ahead shot twenty seven seconds

74
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: left and Paul George twenty two seconds left only to

75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: set up but Patrick Beverley out of bounds call, which

76
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: was nuts. But all that stuff with Patrick Beverley, I

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: was very happy that the Phoenix Suns ended this game

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: on the Jay Triano ally oop. Jay Trando, former coach

79
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: of the Phoenix Suns, he told Tyson Chandler, you know what, man,

80
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: on an inbounds play, there is no offensive goaltending you

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: can score above the rim. Jay Triano's Canadian. The game

82
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: was made by a Canadian. He knows the frickin' rules,

83
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: unlike the referees who have to go look at it

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: for a thousand years but just look at your phone

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: while these guys are doing a video review. There's funny

86
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: stuff on your phone. Yeah, that part's unfortunate, no doubt.

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: But DeAndre Ayton took this thing home on a glorious,

88
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: glorious play and he was a hero. I mean, you know,

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: we could talk about this game all day. I'm just

90
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna go check.

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 4: The way we should talk about this game is after

92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: everybody takes their turn, we go to the scorer's table

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: and review exactly what they said. But after every single point.

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: What a crazy last minute of basketball that was. The

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: Suns had the ball and they were down one with

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: nine seconds left, is that right? And they still pulled

97
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: out this win because of obviously the missed free throws

98
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: and the crazy alley you. But yeah, man, it really

99
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: pays off to watch random basketball games over the years,

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: because I don't think that the Jay Triano play is

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 4: well known because apparently people were super confused. But you

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: can't have a shot attempt on an out of bombs player,

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: so it worked out perfectly. And if you happen to

104
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: be following basketball and the Phoenix Suns not a good

105
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 4: team back in twenty seventeen, that's the only way you

106
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 4: know about this, But the Sons knew about it and

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: it worked out perfectly. It also worked out perfectly that

108
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: Jay Crowder wasn't like right underneath the basket, Yeah, pass

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: would be impossible. Yeah, if he wasn't standing you know,

110
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: ten feet further to the left or whatever it is,

111
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 4: gave the perfect angle.

112
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 5: He put it right on the rim.

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 4: I think DeAndre eight ate and even said that's Jay

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: Crowder's game winner. Really, all he had to do was

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: go up and kind of whoop to give it a

116
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 4: little David Robinson down. I love the huddle with Monty

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: Williams where he's like, hey da, if he throws it,

118
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: you gotta like try to dunk it. Good advice worked out,

119
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: worked out for the Sun's crazy stuff.

120
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Lee, Yeah, what a play call for

121
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: money Williams. What a backscreen from Booker there on su

122
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: MutS get real physical with him. What a pass of

123
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: course from Crowder, And then what a finish there from Ayton.

124
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a massive what if game here

125
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: for the Clippers, right, Like what if Paul George hits

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: a couple free throws even one? Maybe? You know, what

127
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: if the Clippers grabbed that defensive rebound on the bridges.

128
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: I guess miss three in the corner there, like like

129
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: Trey was saying, like where it even just ended up

130
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: out of bounds? What if they don't even demand an

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: instant replay review on that to allow Money Williams and

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: the Sons to basically have a free time out to

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: call up this lob play. What if Cousins makes it

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: a little more difficult for Crowder to not get that angle,

135
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: like just stand a little bit more, big guy, get

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: his way in front of the rim. You know, there's

137
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: less than a second. It's probably gonna be around there.

138
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: And what if even like Zubats has just parked under

139
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: the rim and they don't have them moving in space,

140
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: and then there's a back what if?

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: What if?

142
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: What if? And here are the Suns up to? Oh

143
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: and we can get into the whole instant replays and

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: and whether this is like really bad for for the

145
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: league and all that, but just the game itself. Let

146
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: me go on the table again, Lee, I mean, did

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: you you stayed up right? You couldn't have gone to

148
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: bed for this one?

149
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

150
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: Well, because I got home lights so I started l

151
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 6: so I was behind on schedule, So I was up late,

152
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: and I was like, I didn't even have the I

153
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 6: didn't even have the energy to do practice your free

154
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 6: throws because I felt so bad for Paul George, because honestly.

155
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: You didn't hold George, because people.

156
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: Know I wanted to practice anyway, like the things.

157
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, the respect I have for how the clip has

158
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 6: stayed in this game. There was a on there in

159
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 6: about that third quarter where the Avalanche felt the crowd

160
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 6: again going crazy, and Luke Canardi in that fourth quarter

161
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 6: actually was huge for the hitting some of those threes,

162
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 6: just stepping into them. I'm like, no, great shot, Luke Canard,

163
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 6: You're awesome, dude. That's that's wild. But for Paul George,

164
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 6: you know he did. He made the great play to

165
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 6: get the lay up, and then he hit the mid ranger.

166
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 6: He did all the right things a star should do. Good, good,

167
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 6: high percentage looks, gets the lucky call as far as

168
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 6: the overturn, he goes to the free throw line, and

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 6: then he goes along on that second one, and yeah,

170
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 6: one of those free throws at least almost guarantees an

171
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 6: extension of the game. You know that the Sons were

172
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 6: probably going to run a similar play to what they

173
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 6: ran there with Aton or no. Hang on, they had

174
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: more time lift, didn't they? Actually they could have. They

175
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 6: could have maybe gone for three, but I think they

176
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: probably would have gone for a book a mid ranger

177
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 6: to try to extend the game. Who knows whatever, But

178
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: I just I just.

179
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: Think if he heads both three throws that they're not losing.

180
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: No, well, that's right, that's right. But I'm saying if

181
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 6: he hits one, then then you know they also may

182
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 6: not lose on that last possession he goes to over

183
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 6: time or whatever. But you know, he was clearly struggling

184
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 6: last night. Paul Georgia Legs looked a little bit heavy.

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 6: You know, he hit the big three though Lady only

186
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 6: went one for eight from downtown, and he was trying

187
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 6: to do everything that a start can do. He got

188
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 6: some help from his supporting cast there, and you just,

189
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 6: honestly you felt the Clippers earned that one. I really

190
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 6: do think that everything they've gone through, they played well enough.

191
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 6: Now the overturned call on when when Beverly knocked it

192
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 6: out of Devin Booker's hands, you know, by the rules,

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 6: oh my god, they got it correct.

194
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: But we all know it's Patrick Beverly's signature move at

195
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 4: this point. Yeah, nark and the ball out of a

196
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: guy's hand barely in the last couple of seconds. Did

197
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 4: it Christmas Day right against Lebron a few years ago.

198
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 7: But I think it was come on, perfectionism here is

199
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 7: ruining basketball and all sports really when it comes to

200
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 7: instant replace, I think it is.

201
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: It's just it's got it just goes overboard where.

202
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 6: Well in that in that instance, you know, again it's

203
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 6: clearly Beverly's you know, movement that knocks the ball out.

204
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 6: And yes, it technically comes up with his hands, but

205
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 6: if you're going to do that, then then okay, do

206
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 6: it for every single call when he goes out of

207
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 6: bounds on a contested rebound, on a block shot.

208
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: Because they would take twelve hours exactly.

209
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 6: And those calls would be overturned all the time. And

210
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 6: I and again we you know, if you're gonna follow it,

211
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 6: rule's fine. But I think we all understand that in basketball,

212
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 6: that's not off off Booker, that's off Patrick Bedley because

213
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 6: he knocked it out. And if you're gonna get down

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 6: and you know, down to the nitty gritty like that,

215
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 6: it's going to ruin the game, and that took way

216
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 6: too long as well.

217
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: You know that eight seconds of this game took eight

218
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: minutes and the last ninety seconds of the game took

219
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: almost a half an hour. Yeah, and what they had

220
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: to do, it's really in And look we're sickos. We're

221
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: gonna watch it. Everybody, I'm sure watching the show here

222
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: today or listening to the podcast, we're gonna watch basketball

223
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: if it's five hours long, because we love it. But

224
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: it's not for us here where. You've got to get

225
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: rid of this and clean it up and maybe just

226
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: get rid of it completely. All these instant replay reviews.

227
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: It's for casual fans. It's to get more fans, because

228
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: that's not exciting if you are on the East Coast

229
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: or your internet or whatever time it is, like that's

230
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: that's not keeping you interested, I know, to ask you

231
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: like jokes like well, look at your phone. There's a

232
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: lot of funny stuff going on Twitter. Man Lee couldn't

233
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: even he didn't have the energy. Even it's too much.

234
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 5: One more time.

235
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 6: The thing is with it, I honestly think they need

236
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 6: to be It's either thirty seconds to change the call

237
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 6: or to jump all or you just stick with the

238
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 6: call you've got. But dragging it out like that when

239
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 6: we were all watching it, going okay, fine, call it

240
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: off him. Then if you're gonna call it, but you

241
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 6: don't need six thousand different replays of it. You know,

242
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 6: it's the same one when it went off Zobats and

243
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: DeAndre Ayton there, Well we can see it like cause

244
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 6: we get to see the same thing, Like why do

245
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 6: they need to continually look at it. It's like, okay,

246
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 6: it's off him.

247
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: The pendulum has definitely swung way too far in that

248
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: direction because when when Booker hit Patrick Beverley in the

249
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: face and Patrick Beverley flopped, there was no whistle. They

250
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: just decided after Patrick Beverley was lying on the ground

251
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: and everyone was complaining that, yeah, we're gonna go video

252
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: review it just in case it was a lagrant fowl

253
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: or if it was excessive or whatever. And the same

254
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: thing with that, Patrick Beverley out of den off of

255
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: Devin Booker's hands. Like we all know in basketball, if

256
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: a guy swipes on the defensive side of the ball

257
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: and knocks it out, it's it's the offensive teams ball,

258
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: like that's it. That's it. But but now yeah, the

259
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: pendulum has swung. And so we're watching Scott Foster and

260
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: his what are those shoes? If you guys saw those,

261
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean those that are like real corrective shoes, They're monstrous.

262
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't get a good luck.

263
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I actually didn't know.

264
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: They're huge. Yeah, it's hard. It's kind of hard to see.

265
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: I didn't get a great, great screen grap but yeah,

266
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: they're they're real. They're real old man shoes that are

267
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: just a little too thick. But anyways, uh, maybe he's

268
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: got a sponsorship deal. Maybe Scott Foster's got a shoe

269
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: sponsorship wearing.

270
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: That's why he's always trying to get on camera.

271
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's just it went way too far.

272
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: And and I I guess, you know, we can be

273
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: mad about the video reviews. I was a little bit

274
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: more mad just with Patrick Beverley in general, because that's

275
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: what his reputation is, you know, tough, hard nosed guy,

276
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: plays defense, knocks it off you. But if you live

277
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: by that code, if you live by that code, like

278
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm the man, every single possession, I'm tough, you can't

279
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: be flopping all over the place. He's got to go

280
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: one way or the other.

281
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 3: Which one do you want?

282
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: Man?

283
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. The man has to have a code

284
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: and he's breaking his own coat and and Damian Lillard

285
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: was tweeting flopping all over them in place. That's exactly

286
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: what happened. And Devin Booker showed how tough he is.

287
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, kudos to him and just how

288
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: how hard knows no pun intended, but but listen like

289
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: his I I took a screen grab of his nose

290
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: to show it to you because I think that thing

291
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: is broke.

292
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: Well he says it's not. They just said it's crooked.

293
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: I showed more of this and she's like, what, oh no,

294
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: you know, like she's she thought he was a good

295
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: looking guy.

296
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: He is. I think his name is Devin ARMANI Booker.

297
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: That's a good looking name.

298
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 3: Yeahs is.

299
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 6: The is one of the most weird a sort of

300
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: injuries because I think it must affixed your breathing. And

301
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 6: you saw it as well, like with the swelling and

302
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 6: all that. But it's like, just go ahead there and

303
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 6: keep on going. I mean, he's gonna have to wear

304
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 6: a mask for the rest of the series, isn't he?

305
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 6: Because uh, I think I mean.

306
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: Polton was one of his favorite players. Yeah, all time

307
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: might be he might be pumped to wear a mask.

308
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

309
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: It's a big time Kobe fan, right, and Kobe had

310
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: some great performances wearing a mask, so I wouldn't be surprised.

311
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: I'm just reminded of I feel like it was last

312
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: week we were talking with Cameron Payin. Is the nose

313
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: a part of the face, and now we got more

314
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 4: nose drama. Incredible stuff, especially considering you know, if you're

315
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: going deep into Phoenix Sun's history, Steve Nash with the

316
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 4: broken nose, uh, blood everywhere, you know, just shoving any

317
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 4: piece of cotton they can find up there. I guess

318
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: that's how you fix a bloody note, and you're trying

319
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: to fix it as fast as possible. Phoenix just looks

320
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: for any sort of cotton ball. They're like, uh, open

321
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 4: those nostrils.

322
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 6: But it was like he was like a Formula one

323
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 6: driver in the pits. When they had they they had

324
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 6: the tails up like that and then it was like

325
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 6: the drop get back up. And even on that played,

326
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 6: Patrick Beverly's like, what I didn't touch you. You might didn't

327
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 6: touch you.

328
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: He was like, I'm bleeding. Well, yeah, you're bleeding because

329
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: you got to collide like that one. Yeah, I mean

330
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: I said places where he probably shouldn't. Uh, that's how

331
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: he plays, So it's not a surprise. But I think

332
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: that I don't think Beverly's purposely trying to like jam

333
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: his head into Booker's nose. It's it's they're a little

334
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: too close and they both get banged up there and

335
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: had to exit the game and then did return. But yeah,

336
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: the flop from the the forearm from Booker was a

337
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: little much.

338
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

339
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: And I'm with you, task like you're gonna be this

340
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: uh this dog out there and then you're just gonna

341
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: like flop around. Uh. That's that's weird. But what back

342
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: to ty tray, back to the instant reereplay though, what

343
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: do you think we should do to try and fix this?

344
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 7: Like?

345
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: What what is the solution is? Is there a is

346
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: it a clock for the referees when they they go

347
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: to the like we basically need referees for the referees. Uh,

348
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: get rid of it completely. What do you what would

349
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: you do if you're you know, Silver and the rules

350
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: committee or whatever.

351
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: Something's got to change. There's no doubt about that.

352
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: Honestly, maybe, like the unified review system that they use

353
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 4: for soccer is pretty good where they have just one

354
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 4: person who does it, and maybe a shot clock is

355
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: what they need, and then we're going to be reviewing.

356
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: Did they get the review done in twenty four seconds?

357
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, but the NBA is

358
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: going out of their way to combat these offensive players

359
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: kind of jumping backwards and jumping sidewards and turning this

360
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: into a file, something that people have been complaining a

361
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: lot about.

362
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 5: During this season.

363
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: I feel like after the way things went down last

364
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 4: night with the last like you heard it on every

365
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: single episode of Sports Center, You're going to hear it

366
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: on a ton of podcasts.

367
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: You already heard it here once.

368
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: The last ninety minutes took thirty or last ninety seconds

369
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: took thirty three minutes. And when that's something that keeps

370
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: coming up in the discussion about the game, it's bad

371
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 4: for the game. So they got to speed it up.

372
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: I mean, you want the right calls in the last

373
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: two minutes, but it's infuriating to stop the game after

374
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: every single clutch play, Like maybe the only one that

375
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: didn't get stopped for a review was when Paul George

376
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: took it to the hole and made a layup, because

377
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: that one was kind of in the flow of the game,

378
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: but it felt like every other play was a stop

379
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 4: for something else. So they got to speed it up

380
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: and they got to just make it happen less often.

381
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 4: And I think that the league will do that because

382
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 4: obviously they want basketball to remain one of the fastest of.

383
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 5: The four major sports.

384
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: And it's boring for people who don't care to be like,

385
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: oh my goodness, they're going to the replay again.

386
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 5: But I don't know.

387
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 4: I still think that the basketball overcomes it. Like I

388
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 4: still was hyped after last night, and I think even

389
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 4: if you're not a total sicko watching that game seeing

390
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: that alley oop, you're still loving it. But of course

391
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: they had to go to the replay to figure out, Wow,

392
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: look at that only too point two seconds to throw

393
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: that oop, So try it on your side, Clippers.

394
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say shout out to Jeff Van Gunny for

395
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: being all over knowing the rule they're on the broadcast

396
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: because the Clippers were confused. You know, you see you

397
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 3: saw Rondo going that's basketball. That's an interference. You can't

398
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: be over the rim like that, like, well, yeah, actually

399
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 3: he can and the Sons did it in twenty seventeen

400
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: with a Chandler and g Treano somehow figured out this

401
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: rule that it's it's a dumb absolutely can't do that.

402
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 6: What's that it's a dumb rule because you can't score

403
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 6: a basket. Why can you offensively goaltender basket to count?

404
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 6: That doesn't seem to make sense at all.

405
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: Well, I think they should just get rid of it completely,

406
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: if you're if you ask me, the whole interference there

407
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: being over the rim and stuff like that, like they

408
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: don't have in feb and stuff like that.

409
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 6: But that I don't think you can do that in

410
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 6: feb I think it's only when it hits the rim

411
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: then you can put it down.

412
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: I believe m that's true.

413
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: That's that's true.

414
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 6: Well, no, I'm not one hundred percent sure, because again

415
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 6: last night, I thought that was offensive interference because it's like, well,

416
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 6: it's so it's a violation if you score the basket,

417
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 6: but it's not a violation if you do something would

418
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 6: always be a violation during live play.

419
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: Yep.

420
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 6: I mean Jake Crowder, what I mean, he had no

421
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 6: room to get that wrong. And he made it that

422
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 6: just incredibly perfect time pass hit that and.

423
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: That reacted like he could do it ninety nine times

424
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: out of one hundred, if not one hundred one hundreds.

425
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, well he's the quarterback, isn't he's a high

426
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 6: school quarterback? I think remember he hit a full quarter

427
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 6: in fact, wasn't that him who did it? And that

428
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 6: didn't count because he was out of bounds. When when

429
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 6: he threw that, I think it banked it in. I

430
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 6: believe that was it. I have to go and check that,

431
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 6: but I think that was it because I remember how

432
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 6: easily he threw it. And that's when I think I

433
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 6: think Tri said I used to be a quarterback, non sense? Yeah,

434
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 6: got a cannon on him.

435
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: The boy.

436
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't seen his highlight taste, but I'm guessing

437
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 4: Jake Crowder was just dominating all over the field.

438
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: And high school football.

439
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: Like maybe he's throwing some deep bombs, but I can

440
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: imagine he's going for two thousand yards in a season.

441
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's a Russian, no doubt.

442
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: Dan Devine wrote about last night's game, the Clippers are

443
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: going to kick themselves here for dropping this one task

444
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: in which they did limit Booker, like you said, outside

445
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: of his Shenanigans, Beverly, you know, doing a great job.

446
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: They threw doubles at him at the right time, and

447
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: the outscored Phoenix thirty nine to eighteen from three point

448
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: range and he still kN game two. But are you

449
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: giving up on the Clips? This is now the third

450
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: time they're down two in a series here, But is

451
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: this one different to you or you like, you know what,

452
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 3: they figured some things out. Tyler's got creative. They're in

453
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: both of these games.

454
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 6: You know.

455
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: There's no Kawhi now, no Chris Paul of course with sons,

456
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 3: and he's rumored to be coming back here for game three,

457
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 3: so that's maybe trouble for them. But what do you think, like,

458
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: are you ready to bury the Clippers or are they

459
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: still in this because they haven't even lost a home

460
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: game yet.

461
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: The Clippers deserve all the respect as much as most

462
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: people hate them, and Patrick Beverley earned them some more

463
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: haters last night. The fact that they didn't go double

464
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: digits in this game in Phoenix while the crowd was rocking. Yeah,

465
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: they deserve all the respect. Of course, this is a killer.

466
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: And the fact that the Phoenix, you know, continues to

467
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: win now before Kawhi Leonard comes back. I mean, they're

468
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: gonna get Chris Paul back before Kawhi Leonard comes back,

469
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: So they got to get all these wins in now.

470
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it's it's yeah, the way the Phoenix Sons

471
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: are playing, you know, they're playing better than the Dallas

472
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Mavericks or the Utah Jazz, and that's why they're in

473
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: the conference finals. That's a pretty dumb thing to say,

474
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 1: but that's just that's. The way they're playing is so

475
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: phenomenally well. I think, yeah, this is going to be

476
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: one that the Clippers look back and say, yeah, we

477
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: should have stole that one in Phoenix. Of course, this

478
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: one's going to hurt a little bit more than going

479
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: down two the first two times. You know, plus they're

480
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: playing every second night and all that, and it's just

481
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: hard to come back over and over and over again.

482
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: They're the first team to come back from two twice,

483
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: So can they do it a third time? It's obviously possible.

484
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: I think Tyler is pushing all the right buttons. He's

485
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: so I'm not questioning that. You know. Inserting Patrick Beverley

486
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: was huge. I thought Devin Booker scoring forty in the

487
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: first game. He was just going to continue to roll

488
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: into game two. I thought Patrick Beverley was too small,

489
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: but he did a great job getting under Booker's skin.

490
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: And I think he's still under Booker's skin. I mean,

491
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Booker played it extremely well, put his nose on the

492
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: line on that setting that pick for sure. But you

493
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: know he's got to overcome that in game three. Zoobots

494
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: starting in game two almost worked out. I'm not questioning

495
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: the Clippers anymore, but you know, PG, he's got to

496
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: be he's got to be a little hurt, a little

497
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: hurt in the heart after that one, No doubt he's

498
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough to come back from.

499
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: The Sun's really continued just to get contributions from from everyone,

500
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 3: it feels like, and it changes maybe from night to night.

501
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: They went nine straight playoff games, which is amazing. But

502
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: last nightly it was you know, it wasn't Bridges right,

503
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: who was struggling with his shot. It wasn't like Crowder

504
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: who was lightening up from three. It was Cam Johnson

505
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: who comes off the bench and gives him like huge

506
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: eleven points, great play, didn't miss a shot. You know,

507
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: it was Sorrich in moments where like you know, pick

508
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: and popping Cousins a little bit there because he's too slow.

509
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: And then sometimes when man got on him, he's like, well,

510
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: I'll just go down under the rim and bully him.

511
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 3: He contributed Campaign, like we said, I mean, this is

512
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: just unreal. This guy, this guy at one point was

513
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: considered the worst player in the league. It's not even

514
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: an exaggeration. There was a stretch where.

515
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 4: Like Raptors and Bulls both cut him. I know, honestly,

516
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: he's he sucked.

517
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: He's sucked. And now the guy's twenty nine points in

518
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 3: a playoff game, like a huge playoff game, nine assist,

519
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: not a turnover. Basically, he was like Chris Paul, which

520
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 3: is unreal. So they just keep getting all these guys.

521
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: It's amazing what they just look like, such an awesome team.

522
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: And then you've got the stars in Booker and then

523
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: Chris Paul coming back and eaton. Actually, who's been the

524
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 3: second best, well third best player in this series so far, probably.

525
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 6: Pawla you get. He tweeted. I can't explain this, but

526
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 6: Campaign plays like an elastic rubber band. Someone is flinging

527
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: around the court and I thought that was right because

528
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 6: he is a wiry little guy. He's got a bit

529
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 6: of an awkward shot. He doesn't have the greatest mechanics

530
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 6: in the world. But his confidence level right now is

531
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 6: as high as it's ever been. And I think he

532
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: did play with Monty Williams in Okay see as Monty

533
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 6: was an assistant coach there, and when Monty called him

534
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 6: up last season and said, well, you know, you want

535
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 6: to come and try out in the bubble, he was

536
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 6: like absolutely, And so that has kind of fostered that

537
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 6: relationship to the point where now you know, they're not

538
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 6: looking at campaign has found money. Whatever he gives them,

539
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 6: it's like he's actually reducing for them. And especially again

540
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 6: like with Chris Paul, I think he's likely to come

541
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 6: back for Game three. That's great. They've been able to

542
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 6: get these two games without having Chris Paul there. And

543
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 6: now Devin Booker of course had to miss significant, you know,

544
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 6: a part of the game last night. We're dealing with

545
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 6: the nose injury, and the Sons didn't just completely fall apart. Now,

546
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 6: I mean, that's a great sign here for Monty Williams

547
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 6: that everyone out there feels that it's not just Devin

548
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 6: Book or it's not just Chris Paul or Aton who's

549
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 6: carrying this team. Everyone contributes and some days it is

550
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 6: Michale Bridges, some days it's Crowder and last night, yeah,

551
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 6: Can Johnson five for five from the field. I mean

552
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 6: that is found money. I think when he comes out

553
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: there and does it.

554
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: So like Tory Craig had a game earlier in the postseason, rare,

555
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: he had a big moment or a big like, ha.

556
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's so And that's just a sign of a good,

557
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 6: well balanced team that they understand that, Like you might

558
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 6: not get all the minutes one night and all the shots,

559
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 6: but when you are called upon, if you're ready to go,

560
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 6: you're going to go out there and be expected to contribute.

561
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 6: So everything is really in a good spot right now

562
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 6: for the Suns, because again, Chris Paul is not coming

563
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 6: back from an injury, so he just got a little

564
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 6: bit of extra rest or a guy at his age.

565
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 6: I think it's a blessing in disguise in some ways.

566
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 6: He goes to La likely fresh and ready to go.

567
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 6: Still don't know about Kawhi Leonard, but I think it's

568
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 6: reasonable to assume he won't be playing at all. In

569
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 6: this series. So the Suns, I mean, they are on

570
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 6: the brink of returning to the finals, which is an

571
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: incredible turnaround for a team that two seasons ago had

572
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 6: the second worst league in the record in the league,

573
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 6: which is incredible to think about.

574
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: Who's the last team to go to the finals without

575
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: making the playoffs the year?

576
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 6: I think the Celtics. I think it's the I believe so.

577
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so all the way back then, Yeah, we could

578
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: have two teams right in the Hawks off the uposite

579
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: here in the Bucks, they could do it Hawks undersigns possibly,

580
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 3: But Trey with this one, are you are you burying

581
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: the Clippers or this is still a series? In your

582
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: main I.

583
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 5: Think it's still a series.

584
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: I think the Clippers will certainly do well as the

585
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: series shifts to LA, but they honestly should be kicking

586
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: themselves for not winning one of these two games. Game one,

587
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 4: they made twenty three pointers. If you make twenty three

588
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 4: pointers in a game, that's winnable. Obviously, last night came

589
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: down to free throws and a one point loss. That's like,

590
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: either one of those you gotta steal. The Clipper's got

591
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 4: to get a win in Phoenix at some point, and

592
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: it's like you had a one point game, that's a

593
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 4: toss up, you had a twenty three point game. Those

594
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: are the ones you're supposed to win, especially when you're

595
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: a team built around three point shooting. But they've been

596
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: resilient all year long. I would say the only button

597
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: that Tylu didn't push exactly right last night was bringing

598
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 4: in DeMarcus Cousins to guard the inbounder.

599
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: Why.

600
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: Like, I mean, I get it, I get it that

601
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 4: he's tall, but like he was kind of standing to

602
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: the left of Jay Crowder, giving him a perfect lane

603
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 4: to the hoop.

604
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 5: I thought that was a little bit weird.

605
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 4: Bringing in a cold goalie, as Gordon Bombay did once

606
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: upon a time with Julie the Cat Gaffney didn't work

607
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 4: out quite as well for the Clippers as it did

608
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: for Team USA. But I do think that the Clips

609
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 4: are going to be better once they get back to LA.

610
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 5: They've been great so far.

611
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: It's impossible to count them out when they're down oh

612
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 4: two at this point, but the Sons are rolling and

613
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 4: it looks like they're going to get better unless they

614
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 4: want to Reggie Miller this and keep Chris Paul out

615
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: until they actually lose a game, just keep him on FaceTime, No.

616
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 5: Keep him.

617
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: I love the FaceTime Chris Paul moments. These are great.

618
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: The celebration. DeAndre Ayton was awesome in his postgame interview too.

619
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: That guy, that guy, he just makes you smile looking

620
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: at him. I just love his face and I love

621
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: his like attitude, and you know, he's very easy to

622
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: root for. And he had a monster game. I don't

623
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: want to like, maybe we glossed over it a little

624
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 3: bit as we're talking about the oop, the valley oop.

625
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: Shout out to Matt Winer with that call on Twitter.

626
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: But he was wicked in the first half too. Again,

627
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: Eaton keeps setting the tone in so many of these

628
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: postseason games. What did he finish overall? Like twelve to fifteen?

629
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: Playing his ass off defensively too. He's gotten better and

630
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: better in this league, you know, being still super young,

631
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: he was.

632
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 5: He was great.

633
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: Ties. No, he was absolutely funble. They need him on

634
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: both ends. He was spectacular. I want to just jump

635
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: in with one thing. Yeah, I was wondering with DeMarcus

636
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: Cousins guarding the inbounder, just who else would you have?

637
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: I thought, maybe it's just somebody a little bit more bouncy.

638
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: Maybe this is where they miss Serge Ibaka for this

639
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: one play bring him in to block that inbounder. But

640
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: it is interesting bring in a tall guy. That makes sense, right,

641
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: But then I want to complain about one thing. So

642
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: those five guys that were on the floor for the

643
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre eight and Doug had to be on for the

644
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: next play, and so the score had no idea who was.

645
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: They basically had to go back and check the tape

646
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: and we had to wait there to see it forever.

647
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: It did take forever. I mean, that's that's something that

648
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: any scorekeeper should just have. It should just be a

649
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: part of their job, right, Like the five guys on

650
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: the floor, Like, shouldn't.

651
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: That be in the comp like, or five guys on

652
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: the floor just just press like the fifteen second rewind

653
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: button on your DVR.

654
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: And see who's on the floor and be like, okay,

655
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: get out here. I mean that I thought.

656
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: That's kind of what they did, right, They like put

657
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 4: off a shot of the Jade crowder throwing and I'm

658
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 4: there's not a better way to do that. You just

659
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: got to go see j Zero on this thing and

660
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 4: check what you posted last Very weird, but people are.

661
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: Calling us out here, guys.

662
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: Literally last year in the finals, both teams went from

663
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 4: out of the playoffs too in the finals, the Lakers

664
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: and the Heat.

665
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the Lakers.

666
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, good call called Leo.

667
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, guys, because as a basketball nerd,

668
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm obviously loving Cam Johnson come in and Luke Kennard

669
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: come in and not Misshots. I'm loving that. But I

670
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: hear from some casual fans that the the absence of

671
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul's kind of taking some shine

672
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: off this series. Am I just a basketball geek and

673
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm just loving it? Or is there? Is there a

674
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: little bit of shine taking off of it? And I'm

675
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: just enjoying the fundamentals. I'm just enjoying every guy being

676
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: out there to contribute.

677
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: I guess you could argue it would somehow be even

678
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: better if both those guys were playing. These last two

679
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: games have been unreal though, I mean just the terms

680
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: of like lead changes and how close it's been down

681
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: the stretch and all these crazy what if plays. But

682
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: I guess I understand that. But who cares ultimately if

683
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: it's an entertaining game despite all the instant replay reviews

684
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: last year. That's my opinion. Lee, What do you think?

685
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously you'd love to see them out there,

686
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 6: but they're not. So you just have to dance with

687
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 6: the one that brought you, you know, and just say, all right,

688
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 6: let's enjoy the game. And it was a great game.

689
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 6: We've seen still seeing star players. I mean, Paul George

690
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 6: and Devin Book. I know Devin didn't shoot all that

691
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 6: well last night compared to Game one, but there's still

692
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 6: enough star power for us. Who you know, if you

693
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 6: are occasionally like man, I love Chris Paul, I love

694
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 6: Kawhi Lenon, I'm not watching If they're not, okay, fine,

695
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 6: but we're still watching. We're still loving it. It's still great.

696
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think though the Sun should be

697
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: allowed to bring Chris Paul back at this point until

698
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: Kawai can come back. That only seems fair. Okay, let's

699
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: make that a role. GK, what do you think of

700
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: Tasta start there?

701
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 4: I feel unqualified to answer this question because I'm going

702
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: to be watching regardless that. Honestly, if it's campaign and

703
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: Frank Kaminski running a pick and roll every single time time,

704
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: down the court. I'm probably loving it even more, but

705
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 4: I don't know people are watching.

706
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Ratings are up.

707
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: Maybe that's just because we're seeing you know, fans and

708
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 4: stands and this is a standard playoffs compared to the

709
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: bubble last year. But I mean, the hype would be

710
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 4: bigger if we had a finals MVP and a guy

711
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 4: in Chris Paul who's going trying to win his first title.

712
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 4: Obviously that would be a bigger story. But you know,

713
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 4: this is where stars are made, are in the playoffs.

714
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 4: Like DeAndre Ayton. I had him as most improved player

715
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: this year and then was completely disappointed because all he

716
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: was doing was playing defense. As it turns out, he

717
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: was just saving it in the playoffs. He's going to

718
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 4: keep playing the defense, but it's figured out a way

719
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: to become a fluid offensive player and honestly just dominate

720
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 4: the paint like he's holding it down inside and he's

721
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: the only guy on either team that really cares about

722
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 4: being inside. It's been huge, so it's like, yeah, you know,

723
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 4: it was exciting. I'm sure for people when DeAndre Ayton

724
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 4: was drafted number one back then could have easily fallen

725
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 4: out of their minds. And now here he is winning

726
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: a game in the playoffs. That's how you become a

727
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: star in the future. Not everybody's a star right away.

728
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. Yeah, even if some fans weren't pumped

729
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: Game one, you know, Chris Paul's sideline because of a

730
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: protocol Kawhi Leonard is that you get reeled in because

731
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: this basketball is just so fricking it And if you

732
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: want to watch some men look at a monitor, you

733
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: gotta be excited about that too. Yeah, I'm kidding, but

734
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: that like that, I mean, the basketball has to reel you,

735
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: and it is just so fricking good. And as I

736
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: said at the beginning, neither team had a double digit

737
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: lead in this game, and for me, that's choice. Yeah. Yeah,

738
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and it was. There was barely one in Game one.

739
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: If yeah, I remember exactly. I mean maybe a team

740
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: got up to ten. Maybe I don't. I don't even

741
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: know if that's the case. I mean that was. It's

742
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: just been so good. Yeah, the Clippers not falling apart.

743
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: It feels on Clipper like but man, they just this

744
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: is obviously.

745
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: They hit like I think Van Gundy said it on

746
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: the broadcast, they had like an answer three every time.

747
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: It felt like the Suns were going to pull away

748
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: like it was a Canard three, it was a Reggie

749
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 3: Jackson three. It was yeah, more is it when it

750
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 3: was like whoa? They always were just sticking around. I

751
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: mean even this game, I couldn't believe the Clippers were up.

752
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: At one point.

753
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I feel like the

754
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: Sons are completely outplaying them in this and somehow, you know,

755
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 3: Lac had the lead, which is just means for a

756
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: great finish.

757
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 6: It feels like the crowd is going to sort of

758
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 6: somehow be on top of the court though too as well,

759
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 6: like they are just up and going crazy.

760
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: Mike Breen was standing on the side. I don't remember

761
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: seeing Breen do it. Reggie does it a lot because

762
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 3: you get people standing court side so it's tough to see.

763
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: But you could see Mike Breen like he was perched

764
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: up and he was he was standing to see the action.

765
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, we wanted to call the game standing up there

766
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 6: like that. Wouldn't that be awesome? And just really I'm.

767
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 5: Bag let him roam the court like an and one commentator.

768
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 6: They're doing that with the cameras right now, why not

769
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 6: do it with my That's awesome.

770
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: Idea. Just back to Booker's nose. I've told my story

771
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: before where I busted open my nose on a trampoline

772
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: at a at a high school party, trying to be

773
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: a cool guy doing a double flip and just smoked

774
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: my nose off the metal bar on the trampoline in

775
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 3: the backyard and blood went all over the trampoline. But

776
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: have any of you guys busting your snuzz either broke

777
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,840

778
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 3: bloody nose, no.

779
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 6: Le, super bloody. Yeah, I've had had a million of

780
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 6: those playing basketball, but luckily, yeah, I've never had a

781
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 6: broken one.

782
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay.

783
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 4: I've never had a bloody nose in my life. Really,

784
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: I got the perfect nose.

785
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: You sound like you don't have a big nose like

786
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: a lot of us here on the show. Like yeah,

787
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: just like.

788
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: Small feet, small nose out of the way, that's taller

789
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: than most of the people when you're playing in a

790
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 4: pickup game. So I'm avoiding the album. True, but I've

791
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: never even gotten one, you know, like going deep for

792
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 4: a book or something like that. I know they're super common.

793
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 4: I've done a lot of dumb stuff you would think

794
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: i'd take a shot to the face. Certainly that's happened,

795
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 4: But no blood.

796
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 6: Baby, you you grew up in Chicago, like none of

797
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 6: those early morning pick up runs where it's like minus

798
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 6: forty five degrees and the ball just like ricochets into

799
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 6: your face. That never even gave you.

800
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 5: A blood notes, never had a blood nose.

801
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: Wow, it's incredible. I mean I think he has helped

802
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: by it a little tolerant, but I mean, you know,

803
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 3: a ricochet here or there. Yeah, you know that schna

804
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 3: has ever been busted open basically maybe it was.

805
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: It's been exploded once. No, by a fist, by a

806
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: man's fist made it explode.

807
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like a good story.

808
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's not a great story. I got I

809
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: got blasted in the nose.

810
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 5: It was.

811
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: It was a one way fight really if you remember,

812
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: yeah kind of yeah, I mean I knew, yeah it was.

813
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: There was a fight happening. If it was a third

814
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: year of college, I think, uh yeah. My nose was

815
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: basically below my eye. It went way over. But I

816
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: had a great, great guy in the er, great doctor

817
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: in the er, take his two thumbs and just push

818
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: it back. I barely felt it I barely felt it,

819
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: to be honest, I had alcohol flowing through the system,

820
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: so I barely felt it. But he just cranked it back.

821
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was bad. It was. It

822
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: was ugly, huge black eyes. I think JD. We were

823
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: in the same class in college. I don't know if

824
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: you remember, of course I remember. I'm still furious about that. Yeah,

825
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: it was. It was a good punch. I mean, Landed

826
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: landed really well. Speaking speaking about speaking of quarterbacks, he

827
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: was the high school quarterback. He was looking for a fight,

828
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: and that man Landed found his mark right between the eyes.

829
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 3: There on the call, standing in the corner by the jukebox.

830
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: Tessa, I feel like it happened in Woodbridge?

831
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 5: Is that correct?

832
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: Were you in Woodbridge? Okay?

833
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: Downtown Toronto?

834
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: No, in the sogh he's in the parking lot in

835
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: the sog played him. No at a pool at a

836
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: pool hall. Okay, that was good, great punch. I mean

837
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: it was. It was bad. It wasn't fun. Okay, I'll

838
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: tell I'll tell, I'll tell ye.

839
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: Like, were you talking ship to him or.

840
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: Like big Steve, Big Steve Bake, Steve was talking ship

841
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: like an idiot. It was a bunch of guys, A

842
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: bunch of guys, A bunch of guys wanted to start

843
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: a fight, and Bake Steve got into it, I you know,

844
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: got in there to break it up, and some guy

845
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: ran out of the back of his car just turned

846
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: me around, just hand on the shoulder, turned me around

847
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: and just jammed I was gone, Yeah, well I went.

848
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: I blocked out for a second because I went from

849
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: I went from the because it was in a it

850
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: was a parking lot and there's nobody around. It's like

851
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: after closing time. So I went from the back of

852
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: the car where he jammed me to the front of

853
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: the car, and I don't remember a thing, like they

854
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: were they were just doing some kick and there's people screaming.

855
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: There was Yeah, so I woke up. I actually I

856
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: came back to consciousness when the car started and I

857
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: and the car was like the lights came on in

858
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: the car and I was like in front of the car.

859
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: But they drove off and there was a court situation

860
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: and all that.

861
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't really know the details of this story. Yeah.

862
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, my buddy of Mien had a nice and ugly

863
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: ass tooth. I saw him in the emergency room. He

864
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: had a broken tooth guys.

865
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: How many guys were there? These guys just like m

866
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: M A fighters and this it.

867
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: Was a three on three on three but one one

868
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: team didn't really come to play.

869
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: Amazing We got this story.

870
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean we could. We could go on and on,

871
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: but it's in the it's in the police report. I

872
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: think those are public records.

873
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: We get that.

874
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 7: JD.

875
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: Can you find that. We can post that later.

876
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: Pill He'll find it for us.

877
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome game, despite yeah, all the delays at the end,

878
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: I would just like, if I'm being honest, let's just

879
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 3: get rid of replay for one year. Just try go

880
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 3: back to like, no replay soon happens. Maybe maybe the opposite.

881
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: Maybe we're here every second day ago. Oh my god,

882
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: can you believe they blew that one after we looked

883
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 3: at it? But I guess if you get rid of replay,

884
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 3: like for the officials, we almost have to get rid

885
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,959
Speaker 3: of replay for the broadcast, just so we can never

886
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: see it in super slow mo with the fandom cam,

887
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: so we can never then argue about like, oh, who

888
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 3: was it out on?

889
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 5: I don't know.

890
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: I'd like, I'd like to try it. Just switch it

891
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 3: up there.

892
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 5: The sure, sure people would love it.

893
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: Oh that's great ideally, Oh man, but you get to

894
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: pick who like you know, Babe Ben Simmons, you got

895
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: to shoot.

896
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 6: And one last not so all right, Beverly, you have

897
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 6: to shoot a three for it. If you get it

898
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 6: in the show Bowl. If you miss it, the Suns bold.

899
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: Honestly, that's what we do. Like obviously, playing pickup it

900
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 3: in the NBA would be incredible. Oh yeah, that's a

901
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: fun idea. Yeah, okay, we got to move on. We

902
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: got a lot more to talk about. Yeah, back with

903
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: no Dunk's big numbers here in the stream team today.

904
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 3: People were fired up about that game last night. But

905
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: let's get to the other conference finals, which tips off tonight.

906
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: The Hawks battle the Bucks in Game one, each team

907
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: coming into the series off a game seven road victory

908
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: in the previous round. Hawks, of course, went into Philly

909
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 3: took down the seventy six ers, while the Bucks went

910
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn and pulled out that overtime win over Katie

911
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: and the Nets. So let's break it down keys to

912
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: the series, and then we'll get to predictions. Trey get

913
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: us started, Hawks, Bucks? What are you watching?

914
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 4: I think John Collins has been the unsung hero of

915
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 4: the Hawks playoff run. Here had a great quote to

916
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 4: Chris Kirshner at The Athletic. John Collins said, these are

917
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 4: meaningful moments.

918
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 5: Right now. I'm proving I can win here. Everything I'm doing.

919
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 4: On the court is just as valuable as showing I

920
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 4: can get twenty or twenty five points per game. And

921
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: I gotta agree with them. John Collins was a twenty

922
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 4: and ten guy. We had him as a potential first

923
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 4: time All Star I think before last season.

924
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 5: Obviously that didn't happen.

925
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 4: There was a little bit of drama this season with

926
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 4: like getting on the same page with Trey Young. But

927
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, John Collins has remade himself just basically

928
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 4: as a defensive guys, as a pests to the opponents.

929
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 4: His defense on Julius Randall I thought was huge in

930
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: that series. His defense on Tobias Harris was huge against

931
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: the Sixers. But now John Collins is probably gonna be

932
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 4: guarding Jannis. I would have to imagine with Clint Capella

933
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 4: sticking Brook Lopez. This is going to sound ridiculous, but

934
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 4: I mean it as a positive. I think John Collins

935
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: can hold Janis on to Tacumpo to thirty two and thirteen,

936
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 4: and that would be huge. Basically, just battle him, make

937
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 4: it hard, and put Giannis on the line when necessary.

938
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 4: That's basically what Blake Griffin did. He played with a

939
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 4: lot of effort on a lot of physicality. Those are

940
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 4: both things that Collins has done really well in the

941
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 4: playoffs so far. I mean, you're not gonna slow down Yanis.

942
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 4: He's gonna produce. But if Collins is good enough against

943
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 4: Jannis that the Hawks don't have to double all the

944
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 4: time and they're not giving up easy three pointers something

945
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 4: that could be a major disadvantage. Going against Giannis can

946
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 4: just be a small inconvenience if you will, If you're

947
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 4: able to guard him almost straight up, that would be

948
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 4: huge for the Hawks to not have to devote other

949
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 4: resources to try and slow down Giannis inside.

950
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good call. He's been great John Collins

951
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: for sure. I feel like a lot of the keys

952
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 3: to the series here correct me if I'm wrong, are

953
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: going to be maybe from the Hawks side of things,

954
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 3: being the underdog, like what has to happen for them

955
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,479
Speaker 3: to pull off maybe another upsoe here over the Bucks

956
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 3: who are the heavy favorite. So Lee, what's your key

957
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: to the series or an X factor or where are

958
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 3: you going?

959
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going with Bogdan Bogdanovic because he's the latest

960
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 6: update on him. He's a game time decision for tonight.

961
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 6: So I do expect him to play because he's kind

962
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 6: of been in that same boat now for the last

963
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 6: three or four games as he was against the Sixers

964
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 6: in that second round. And I think you only have

965
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 6: to look at the last three games to see that

966
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 6: he clearly was effected. He only went made one of

967
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 6: his last sixteen to three point attempts, and he just

968
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 6: wasn't moving out there. He basically sat on the bench.

969
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 6: I think of the second half of Game seven, he's

970
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 6: not shooting the ball well, and that's a clear sign

971
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 6: when you don't have your legs underneath you that there's

972
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 6: something wrong. So hopefully he's had a little bit of

973
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 6: extra time here to rest because he's so important to

974
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 6: them as another guy who try and shoot the ball

975
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 6: to to hit those threes. They need him firing threes.

976
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 6: He was great against the Knicks, he was great early

977
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 6: against the Sixers, and they need him. And also defensively,

978
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 6: he's a bigger guy than you think he's actually he's

979
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 6: about six to five. He sort of feels like he's

980
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 6: a little bit smaller than that, but he's he's just

981
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 6: really important, I think, to what the what the Hawks

982
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 6: have to do. And if he can't go, then they're

983
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 6: already down DeAndre Hunter, you know, they're already down Cam Reddich,

984
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 6: who hasn't even been on the team at all in

985
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 6: the playoffs. So they've tried Kevin where in the starting lineup,

986
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 6: might have to go Solomon Hill back into the starting

987
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 6: the starting lineup, which is.

988
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 3: Not just because of size reasons, you think, I think.

989
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 6: I think, I don't think he's going to go with

990
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 6: Gallinari Nate McMillan to start him. So I'm guessing that's

991
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 6: who they would go to if Bogdanovitch can't go. But

992
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 6: if he's back and he's fresh and he's healthy, then

993
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 6: that's a huge thing for the Hawks because he can

994
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 6: he can handle the rock a bit. But also you know,

995
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 6: when he gets going, he's a very very important score

996
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 6: of them. So hopefully he's feeling good and hopefully he's

997
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 6: feeling better and he's good to go tonight.

998
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's a fun little you know, narrative twist

999
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 3: there too. They yeah, yeah, been signed by the Bucks

1000
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: or it looked like he was going there and then

1001
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: the tampering and it cost him a pick and all

1002
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 3: that and finds his way to Atlanta. So that would

1003
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: be you know, if the Hawks were to pull this

1004
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 3: off and he played well, insult to injury to Milwaukee,

1005
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 3: if they somehow got put out by the guy that

1006
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: they actually had on their team in Bogdanovic. What about

1007
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 3: you task, what's the key to the series?

1008
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: Well, I think the coaching is monstrous, mainly from Nate

1009
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: McMillan's signed because you know, the playoffs are all about matchups, baby,

1010
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: but Nate McMillan's got to push so many of the

1011
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: right buttons because they are the underdog and they have

1012
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: to find a way to get the upper hand. This

1013
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: is going to be the series they probably missed DeAndre Hunter.

1014
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: Cam Raddish has been upgraded to questionable. Maybe he gets inserted,

1015
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: but that's sort of where I'm worried that that small

1016
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: forward spot because you know PJ Tucker pat content is

1017
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: where Trey Young is gonna hide. He's gonna They're gonna

1018
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: start PJ Tucker or maybe in Pacconta Treyng's gonna hide there.

1019
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: But then Chris Middleton is a big problem for the Hawks.

1020
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: Do they put Kevin Herder on him? He could he

1021
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: could really hurt him. Or do you bring back Solomon

1022
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: Hill for Kevin Herder? I'm not sure. Do you put

1023
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: bog Don Bogdanovich on him? But then who takes true?

1024
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's there's some perimeter problems there. What happens

1025
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: to Clint Capella if he gets into foul trouble guarding Janis?

1026
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do? Or John Collins the

1027
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: same thing? Anyaka and Congou gonna be out there? Is

1028
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: he gonna play minutes? Is he gonna be able to

1029
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: stop Yanis? I think they just don't have really good matchups.

1030
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I think from the other side for but his main

1031
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: question is do I start Tucker? He doesn't really have

1032
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: anyone to guard. I think that the Hawks are just

1033
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: so undermanned in this series. The Bucks just have so

1034
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: many of the advantages, and Nate was a little slow

1035
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: last series to implement those changes. He waited until Game

1036
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: four to start Kevin Herder and and they somehow made that. Obviously,

1037
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: it was successful after a couple of huge comebacks, in

1038
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: that series. But I think he's got to be on

1039
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: top of it from the beginning because I get that.

1040
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, the Bucks have quote unquote more pressure on

1041
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: them because they are now the favorites in this series,

1042
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: but they got to feel good as a number three series,

1043
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: a number three seed to have home court advantage in

1044
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. It just doesn't happen very often,

1045
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: and I think that the Hawks are sort of just

1046
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball to start this series.

1047
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 3: The Hawks are going to hope that Holiday shoots as

1048
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 3: poorly as he did against the Nets. That would really

1049
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 3: help their chances. He shot thirty six percent from the

1050
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 3: floor in twenty six percent from three Holiday. Will he

1051
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 3: be that bad again in this series. I sort of

1052
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: doubt it. And he's my key just what he's going

1053
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 3: to do defensively on Trey Young. The one time they

1054
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 3: played this season, Trey I'm shot three to seventeen in

1055
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 3: his one game. It was his second word shooting performance

1056
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 3: of the year. He had six turnovers two in that game,

1057
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: and Drew Holiday was the primary defender. He's awesome. He's

1058
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: an all defense. It's a player, and I think Trey

1059
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 3: Young shot oh of eight. I saw Schumann break down

1060
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 3: that matchup with no free throw attempts. So I mean, look,

1061
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 3: the Hawks are not going to win these games if

1062
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 3: Drew Holiday keeps Trey Young to three or seventeen shooting

1063
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: a row of eight when he's on them, so that's

1064
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 3: big and then easy buckets too. Here Bucks score a

1065
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 3: lot in transition. A lot of that comes by way

1066
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 3: of turnovers. But the Hawks are good at, you know,

1067
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 3: taking care of the basketball for the most part, so

1068
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 3: which one gives there. They're a huge underdog, but they're

1069
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 3: fun to roof for here in Atlanta, and I think

1070
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of people actually like, oh,

1071
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 3: this would be awesome if the Hawks did somehow get

1072
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 3: to the finals. So they're gonna have their fans support

1073
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 3: here from the casuals and the die hards like the

1074
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: Hawk bros alike. Let's get to predictions, though, Trey, who

1075
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: do you like in this How many games.

1076
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 4: The Bucks should be favored? The Bucks should win this series,

1077
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 4: But I'm taking the Hawks in seven. Wow, it's probably

1078
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 4: not gonna pay off skeets. If I'm being completely honest,

1079
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: as we said heading into Nets versus Bucks, this could

1080
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 4: easily be the NBA Finals here it end up going

1081
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 4: seven classic games, and to be honest, the Buck's handled

1082
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 4: and that's pretty well as soon as Kyrie Irving went down. Obviously,

1083
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 4: the Hawks are under manned, but they've already won five

1084
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 4: road games in this playoffs, two in both series, so

1085
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 4: I think they can steal one in Milwaukee, And if

1086
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 4: they steal one in the first couple of games, either

1087
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 4: tonight or in Game two, the series has changed immediately

1088
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 4: and there's definitely a lot more pressure on Milwaukee.

1089
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm rooting for a narrative here. I'm rooting

1090
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 5: for a city here.

1091
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 3: Ten seven Okay Hawks in seven Leale two questions your

1092
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 3: prediction and have you looked at tickets for Game three

1093
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 3: here in Atlanta?

1094
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have to say I've probably gone to my

1095
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 6: last Hawks playoff game. I don't imagine them getting any

1096
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 6: cheaper from here on out. But I'm taking the Hawks too.

1097
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 3: Why not?

1098
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 5: Why not?

1099
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 6: Trey Young's been incredible to watch this season, and he

1100
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 6: definitely punches well above his weight out there on the court.

1101
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 6: I'm not saying he's Alan Iverson, but he's got the

1102
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 6: vibe that tiny guy out there who you just sort

1103
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 6: of think, like, how does this guy go into the

1104
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 6: paint fearlessly, like that score, he hits the three pointer.

1105
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 6: He's got the sort of like people hate him. He's

1106
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 6: got that like, you know, the villainous quality to him

1107
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 6: as well. I mean, Alan Ives was very popular, but

1108
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 6: he was also like the sort of guy he'd love

1109
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 6: to go on the road and get a big, big win.

1110
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 3: And it's just the smallest guy on the floor with

1111
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 3: the biggest hurrid. It feels exactly and he is not

1112
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: afraid of the moment.

1113
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 6: I was really really impressed with his Game seven performance

1114
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 6: because he was shooting so badly, but he didn't stop shooting.

1115
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 6: He hit that massive three late in the fourth quarter,

1116
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 6: which was just a deep bomb, you know. So he's like, listen,

1117
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 6: we're going to go out emptying the clip. And that's

1118
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 6: what I love about him. So I'm pulling for the Hawks.

1119
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: Why not?

1120
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 6: We're down here in Atlanta. I think the Bucks are

1121
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 6: favorites and deserve to be, but I say the Hawks

1122
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 6: can do it. Another close out game on the road.

1123
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 6: Hawks in seven, Hawks in seven.

1124
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 3: Former.

1125
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a big time over and I love it lot.

1126
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 3: The voice of reason, man, where are you going?

1127
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: Well? The reason why I'm going to pick the Bucks

1128
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: is because I want the Hawks to win. Let me

1129
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: explain the Bucks. Yes, they are absolutely the favorites, and

1130
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: because they were, you know, the underdogs in the Net series.

1131
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: I think if people start picking the Hawks, people start

1132
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: getting on them. They can use that as bolton board

1133
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: material and then they can feel like the underdogs again.

1134
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: So I'm taking the Bucks with the hopes that the

1135
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,479
Speaker 1: Hawks win. Yeah, I mean, I do think the Bucks

1136
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: are going to take this series, but I'm obviously cheering

1137
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: for the hometown team. I think. Yeah, as Tray said,

1138
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it really comes down to the first couple

1139
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: of games that it happened in the Philly series. That

1140
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: has to happen, and it could happen. I mean, though

1141
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: the Bucks almost lost Game one of that Miami Heat

1142
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: series where they were clearly the better team. It was

1143
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: super duper close. It came down to a Chris Middleton

1144
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: game winner. But I'm not given Milwaukee any more bolton

1145
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 1: board material here. So I'm taking the Bucks in five.

1146
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: But Hawks and seven.

1147
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: An excellent Jennifer Hedger there from you shout out TSN.

1148
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 3: That's the turning point. Gino Retta, I'll take Bucks in

1149
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 3: six is where I'm going with this. You're right about

1150
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 3: the Hawks, like, it's not far fetched to see them

1151
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: win one of these two games in Milwaukee. They won

1152
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 3: both game once right of their last two series to

1153
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 3: just start it off, and and why not? Is that

1154
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 3: why it could not be possible again with type of

1155
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 3: Tray Young performance. But I do think Brooks deterring maybe

1156
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 3: some of these floaters inside that Trey guys, but he's

1157
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 3: so smart because he doesn't go all the way to

1158
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: the rim, so it's still there has to knock him down.

1159
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: It's look, I'm excited. I think this is going to

1160
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: be a great series here still, but I'm gonna take

1161
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 3: Milwaukee because it does feel weird to say, like, oh

1162
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 3: Bucks nuts man, whoever wins that it's probably gonna win

1163
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 3: the title or at least go to the finals, because

1164
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: the Suns look like incredible right now, be weird to

1165
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 3: switch that up. So I'll go Milwaukee in six. But

1166
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 3: let's hear from the stream team your predictions, who you're

1167
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 3: cheering for, some X factors, leave them there or leave

1168
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: him in the YouTube comments, And will of course be

1169
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: back tomorrow to break down Game one, which is hopefully

1170
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: just as entertaining, as at least the first two games

1171
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference Finals have been all right. Before

1172
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 3: we start wrapping this up, we had other big news

1173
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 3: last night. This feels like it happened like ten days

1174
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 3: ago to me. I don't know why, but the Detroit

1175
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 3: Pistons finally lucked out in the NBA lottery and they

1176
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 3: won the number one pick last night. Their position to

1177
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 3: draft the consensus best prospect, Oklahoma State star Kade Cunningham,

1178
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: or you know, go in a different direction, maybe USC

1179
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 3: center Evan Mobley's possibility, The Rockets, Calves, Raptors, Magic round

1180
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: out the top five. Were showing everybody the lottery results

1181
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 3: here on YouTube, of course, in the stream team first

1182
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 3: time in franchise history of the Pistons draft pick moved

1183
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 3: up by way the lottery rather than moving down or

1184
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 3: staying put. So that's great. They got the first pick

1185
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 3: for the first time in nineteen seventy when they took

1186
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame center Bob Lanier. Shout out the big

1187
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 3: Bob Lanier. He has some big shoes in TK.

1188
00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 5: Giant shoes.

1189
00:52:59,280 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 3: Giant.

1190
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 5: That's like one of the two things I know a lot.

1191
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Famer and his shoes are giant, Yes, yep,

1192
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 4: big Bob Lanier bows Cade Cunningham's feet feet.

1193
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have to check the combine on that.

1194
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 3: Besides the Pistons, though, The question is who is the

1195
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 3: biggest winner from last night? Uh tass, I'm guessing you

1196
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 3: would agree with me that it's that it is the

1197
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 3: Raptors because the back half of the draft lottery it

1198
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 3: went shock None of the teams that were slotted from

1199
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 3: like eight through fourteen jumped into the top four selections.

1200
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 3: And then boom, Toronto slotted that seventh. Oh my god,

1201
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 3: their their their little logo is not there in the

1202
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 3: card from Mark Tatum, and they jumped up three spots

1203
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 3: to the fourth overall pick. That's the largest jump than

1204
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 3: any team made in the lottery this year. This is this,

1205
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 3: This is big for RAPS fans, especially in a draft

1206
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 3: where the draft experts say it's a it's a it's

1207
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 3: a top heavy draft, where it's like maybe your top

1208
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: four or five. You're like, wow, you're you're very excited

1209
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 3: about any of the players that you you get at

1210
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 3: that that number there.

1211
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I will throw in Houston as a second

1212
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: winner as well. They went they went from possibly having

1213
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: the number eighteen pick to having the number two pick.

1214
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: That's good's that's very very good. But yeah, of course

1215
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: seeing the Raptors up there, even though you know, they

1216
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: finished in the worst spot that they possibly could after

1217
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: jumping to the top four. So the drama of the

1218
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: television got me. Had to wait for that commercial break

1219
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: thinking that the Raps are going to be jamming at

1220
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: the top. But then you know, big Ben Wallace just

1221
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: swatted them down to the four spot because he worked

1222
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: good d great defense. But yeah, you know, I wore

1223
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: this championship. But there you go from Stefan vasillv this

1224
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: championship shirt for today because it feels like a bit

1225
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: of a championship. It's a deep draft, I've heard.

1226
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a it's a top heavy. Hold on is

1227
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 3: it deeper as a top heavy which one is it?

1228
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. Well, we'll have some draft experts on

1229
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 3: as we get closer and closer to the draft, because

1230
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 3: this is the one, uh one thing we do not

1231
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 3: pretend to know a ton about outside of like watching

1232
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 3: the highlights and the big names and stuff like that.

1233
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, Raps winners rock. It's big winners. You're right,

1234
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 3: and of course the Pistons very happy for their fans.

1235
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 3: Biggest loser, though, TK, who would you go with from

1236
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 3: the draft lottery last night?

1237
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 5: Well, the biggest loser personally for me.

1238
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 4: Doubles lost their pick to the Magic and four of

1239
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 4: the top five picks in this top heavy draft skeets

1240
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 4: are going to the Eastern Conference. Two of those one

1241
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 4: going to the Pistons and one going to the Calves,

1242
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 4: who the Bulls will be playing a lot after missing

1243
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 4: the play in pretty bad beat for Chicago last night,

1244
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 4: But I don't think they're actually the biggest losers. That

1245
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 4: to me's gotta be the Thunder. They had a chance

1246
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 4: at two top five picks heading into the lottery. They

1247
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 4: had a fifty two percent chance that Theirs finishes in

1248
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 4: the top five, plus a forty eight percent chance that

1249
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 4: Houston would drop to number five. If that hits, you

1250
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 4: got two top fives in a loaded draft, including a

1251
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,439
Speaker 4: local number one prospect. Instead, they dropped all the way

1252
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 4: down to number six, and they had previously lost a

1253
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 4: coin toss with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who moved up to

1254
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 4: number one. So bad stuff for the Thunder last night.

1255
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 4: If the Raptors got a gift after a trash season.

1256
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 4: Feels almost the reverse for the Thunder blatantly tanked as

1257
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 4: hard as they possibly could and then had terrible lottery luck.

1258
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 5: You hate to see it.

1259
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they lose. Was this something like final twenty

1260
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: one of their last twenty five games when they were

1261
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 3: just sitting every guy imaginable, Oh shay, oh your foots

1262
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 3: are oh dort, what's wrong with you guy? Migraine, don't play.

1263
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 3: Tony Bradley was too good. At one point they were like, no,

1264
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 3: Tony Bradley, you can't play for us anymore. Yeah, the

1265
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 3: Basketball of God said no, no, no, come on. That's

1266
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 3: a that was a little too blatant for our liking

1267
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 3: and did not reward them. Lee any other winners or

1268
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,439
Speaker 3: losers to add from last night.

1269
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 6: Well only that the Timberwolves also lose their pick that

1270
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 6: goes to the Warriors. If that fell into the top three,

1271
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 6: I think the Wolves would have kept up, but it didn't.

1272
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 6: So that's from the Andrew Weekins trade. So the Warriors

1273
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 6: just steal another little asset out of that deal. And

1274
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 6: that's tough for the timber Wolves because obviously they would

1275
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 6: love to get some more young talent on that team.

1276
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 6: So as it stands right now, I believe the Wolves

1277
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 6: do not have a first round pick in this year's draft,

1278
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 6: which is a little tough of them.

1279
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 3: Will any of these, you know, top let's say ten

1280
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 3: picks be moved in a big deal here As we

1281
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 3: get closer to the actual draft, too, saw a lot

1282
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 3: of Kings fans saying they got to do everything they

1283
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 3: can to try and get Ben Simmons with their pick

1284
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 3: and whatever players it would take to try and entice

1285
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 3: Darryl Morian and the Sixers to make a move there.

1286
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: We'll see, We'll see as we get closer and closer.

1287
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 3: Like I said, we'll bring in some draft experts and

1288
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 3: we'll start coming up with all the hypotheticals, all the

1289
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 3: what ifs.

1290
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 4: About you rafters experts, would you trade the number four pick? Theoretically,

1291
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,959
Speaker 4: you're a team that's close and maybe a star would

1292
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 4: help more than a draft pick.

1293
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: That's tough, harpy and a heartbeat for who, though for

1294
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: who that depends.

1295
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 4: Hey, let's say Bradley Beal is the biggest name that's

1296
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 4: gettable out there.

1297
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: I think, so, you know, you'd have to have some

1298
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: draft knowledge to know that the guy at number four

1299
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: isn't going to be you know, the equivalent of Bradley

1300
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: Beal somewhere down the road, like think that anyways, at

1301
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: least had Jaalen.

1302
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 3: Green is a really good sort of scorer. And they

1303
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 3: think in the half court that the Raps could that's

1304
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 3: the Raps flaw right like half court offense.

1305
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: They need that.

1306
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 3: So if it's Beial, yes, is jail and Green that

1307
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 3: guy right away?

1308
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1309
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what again people say he could be

1310
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 3: it's how waimelines.

1311
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: And then you turn and trade Kyle Lowry for maybe

1312
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: some sort of future prospect as well. Some play both

1313
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: sides perfectly. Do it now? Do it later? Get get

1314
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: a future asset for Kyle Lowry because I think the

1315
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: Thunder have to trade up. I mean, I don't understand

1316
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: why they accumulate all these draft picks to Obviously, it's hurtful.

1317
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: It's hurtful to drop. Is Trey outlined very well, But

1318
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: even from the beginning of the season, you know the

1319
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: fact that the play in tournament worked for this reason.

1320
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: The only team that was tanking from day one was

1321
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: the Thunder. And usually in a season you see like

1322
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: three four or five teams not trying to win, but

1323
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: twenty nine out of the thirty teams were trying to win,

1324
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 1: and the thunder go from yet trying to be bad

1325
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: and then Polkashevski's hitting too many freaking shots, AhR playing

1326
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: too well. Yeah, everybody sit and yeah, so it is

1327
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: definitely karma. But at the same time, Presty can't be

1328
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: sitting on these picks thinking I love this number six

1329
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: pick we've got. They've got to try and move up, right,

1330
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: They have to to me.

1331
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll probably give it a go. Final question with

1332
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 3: the draft lottery, we did a happy hour last night,

1333
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: so that's really my favorite moment, just hanging with you

1334
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 3: guys going over salmon recipes. This is what I really liked.

1335
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 3: But from the actual draft itself, I'll answer first my

1336
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: favorite moment, and I said it when we were live

1337
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 3: doing our shows, like, well, that's a meme. Somebody clipped

1338
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 3: that and post it right away, please. I think ultimately

1339
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 3: the Ringer maybe got to it first. It was Swin

1340
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 3: Cash and her reaction to the Pelicans not moving up

1341
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 3: in the draft. It's so good. I love it so much.

1342
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 3: It's a great reaction. You can use that for so

1343
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 3: many things and uh some power. Is that a blazer?

1344
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 3: I guess you could call it just an awesome outfit

1345
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 3: she's wearing. It's a dresser a blazer, I can't.

1346
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Tell, but looks like a blouse with sequence.

1347
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 3: But who knows action lee anything else that, uh that

1348
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 3: you were a fan of. I know we were pumped

1349
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: about Ben Wallace just like he looks still awesome. Yeah,

1350
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 3: him getting the number one pick, just outwork in the draft, like.

1351
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 4: He said, Yeah, a lot of great quote he's They

1352
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 4: asked them, did you bring a good luck charm? He said, no,

1353
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm the good luck charm. I figure after all the

1354
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 4: work I put in, nothing but good things can happen.

1355
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: How right?

1356
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 4: How was he right about that hard work pays off

1357
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 4: when it comes to balls just bouncing around in a Yeah,

1358
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 4: I mentioned.

1359
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 6: On the on the Happy Aro I just would have

1360
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 6: liked him in the big white like sweat head band,

1361
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 6: you know, because that's how I sort of remember Ben Wallace.

1362
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 6: But he didn't need it last night. He doesn't need luck.

1363
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 6: He's just going to intimidate those balls. They're not going

1364
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 6: to be They're not going to go to anyone else.

1365
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't we usually get like a Zach Low article

1366
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 3: where he's like in the back room draft lottery is happening.

1367
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: It's like, I know Ben Wallace wasn't back there as well,

1368
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 3: but that'd be a funny story if he was. He's

1369
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 3: just staring at that lottery ball machine, like just like

1370
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 3: growling at it, making sure the right ball comes up

1371
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,479
Speaker 3: the right number. Uh tass any anything else that jumped

1372
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 3: out of you.

1373
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the year of the Big Man. You

1374
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: had Ben Wallace in a Chema laju one, those two

1375
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: guys battling for the number one and number two picks,

1376
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: sitting there in their chairs, battling in different in different rooms.

1377
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: But I guess, I mean I was not paying attention

1378
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: where we watched basically just Mark Tatum pull out the

1379
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: fourteen cards and I, you know, no disrespect to ESPN's

1380
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: coverage because it's they do what they need to do

1381
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: to make it interesting. But I feel like I'm a

1382
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: winner because I didn't watch half an hour that I

1383
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: watched twelve minutes, right, you know, because it's just it's

1384
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: just here the prospects, and I would have got to

1385
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: know the prospects a little bit more if I did

1386
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: watch the entire half hour, because that's what they do,

1387
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: They talk to the players. I know nothing about college ball,

1388
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: so that would have been beneficial for me. So actually,

1389
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: maybe I'm a loser. No, but it was they it

1390
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: was entertaining. I guess, yeah, sure, I guess that's the

1391
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: same stuff. There aren't moments we talked about it yesterday?

1392
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Are there moments? I mean no, not not really.

1393
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 3: It's usually like reactions like yay we won or crap,

1394
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 3: we didn't move up. I think who is that old

1395
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 3: pacer as a woman had a sort of they just

1396
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 3: cut to her after they didn't have perhaps yeah, it

1397
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: was just like yeah, and it was like just a

1398
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 3: just a quick reaction shot and people, you know, clip

1399
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 3: it and again captured it or whatever. That's it. But

1400
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 3: you're right, not much happens more more entertaining in the

1401
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 3: actual draft night when you see what everybody's wearing and

1402
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 3: some of the things said about them and some of

1403
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 3: the uh, you know, old exposed takes that come out

1404
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 3: of a potential draft night. I don't know about this guy,

1405
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 3: or this guy is not that great, and then you

1406
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 3: know ten years later or they're an MVP and and they're.

1407
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 5: Clipping it all right, Skeets.

1408
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 4: Let's say you get chosen as the Raptors draft representative.

1409
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 4: Do you go in knowing you've got two reactions you

1410
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 4: gotta have you gotta have a happy one, and you

1411
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 4: gotta have a disappointed one.

1412
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 5: Are you brainstorming ahead of time?

1413
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 3: Do you have a draft board for your lottery reactow,

1414
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 3: great question, Never thought about it. I wouldn't even pluff.

1415
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't plan for a disappointed reaction. Don't go in

1416
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 3: with that, I said, I'd only plan like what am

1417
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 3: I going to do? And we when we jump up

1418
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 3: to the top four, when we get the number one.

1419
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 3: But I also liked your topless for top four, and

1420
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 3: that backfired, like would they let the pods topless?

1421
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 4: I think so, just sitting at the podium, no shirt on,

1422
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 4: everybody else in suits.

1423
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,439
Speaker 5: They're like, let's go top four.

1424
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, but I wouldn't

1425
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 3: plan for the bad outcome.

1426
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 7: Though.

1427
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 4: Those are the funniest reactions because they're real swin cash.

1428
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 4: The people are saying, you would have the temperate boy reaction.

1429
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's good call. Let's take one more break

1430
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 3: here before we get to Lily's tweet of the name

1431
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 3: back with no Dunk's time for a tweet of the.

1432
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Night, Tweet of the night. Wow, Twitter, my man, Lely,

1433
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: what do.

1434
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 3: You got so many good tweets last night?

1435
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1436
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, go with this one that came in yesterday sometime,

1437
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 6: and it came from Jordan Brand to celebrate the twenty

1438
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 6: fifth anniversary of the WNBA's inaugural game. Jordan Brand is

1439
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 6: proud to announce its largest female roster ever, a group

1440
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 6: of inspiring women whose impact extends far beyond the court

1441
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 6: and who continue to prove they're here for a reason.

1442
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 6: And then they put out this photo as well of

1443
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 6: Michael in there with all those women, and I think

1444
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 6: this is just such a great image, the most famous

1445
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 6: basketball player of all time really putting his name out

1446
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 6: there and attaching it to the women's game, which I

1447
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 6: think is just a significant monumental moment for the game.

1448
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 6: Because the w NBA certainly has grown over the last

1449
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 6: couple of years in terms of its you know, appeal

1450
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 6: and the games and and that, but still there's a

1451
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,439
Speaker 6: big difference in terms of how much money the game

1452
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,439
Speaker 6: generates and how much money the women then earned to play.

1453
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 6: Now there are still you know, plenty of bridges that

1454
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 6: we have to cross, but I think when you have

1455
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 6: the biggest name on the man's side, they're really promoting

1456
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 6: it and marketing the game, that's going to help. And

1457
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 6: I just think that's that's an awesome look there for

1458
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 6: for Michael, for Jordan brand, for Jumpman brand, and for

1459
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 6: women's basketball, not just within America, across the world. So

1460
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 6: congratulations to Jumpman and women's basketball.

1461
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 3: Good stuff. Did you see Trey? You probably did because

1462
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 3: you're the sole man here. DeRozan's Kobe's like custom Koby

1463
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 3: kicks that were the w NBA like orange.

1464
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 4: It's colored by like Kobe sitting courts. Yeah, back in

1465
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 4: the day where the orange really cool.

1466
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. You so you can't buy those?

1467
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 4: Those are just like four I mean, I assume right

1468
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 4: now they're just DeRozan pees since he's got, you know,

1469
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,919
Speaker 4: a Nike deal and he's like he's had sick kobepees

1470
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 4: for a long time.

1471
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 5: But I don't.

1472
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 4: I mean, they're getting a great review or great reviews

1473
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 4: on Twitter, and obviously the WNBA is getting a little

1474
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 4: bit more cultural backing for sure. And you know that

1475
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 4: orange hoodie by itself was like a huge success. Uh,

1476
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 4: you know, kind of changing the image of the league

1477
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 4: and making it a just a cool piece to have.

1478
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 4: So I can see that being the case as Jordan

1479
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 4: Brandon Nike gets deeper and deeper into women's basketball. I

1480
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 4: don't know that Laura's favorite shoe of all time still

1481
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 4: is the Ryl Swoops, so maybe they'll bring those back

1482
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 4: as well. Yeah, asymmetrical lacing great for bad ankles, which

1483
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 4: interestingly unfortunate.

1484
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 3: Does Laura have bigger feet than you?

1485
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: We share?

1486
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 5: Wow, her shoes are my shoes.

1487
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Are all right?

1488
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 5: Well, let's call it there.

1497
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 3: had them go into like seven or eight different teams

1498

Speaker 3: deals that a lot of you sent in by way

1500
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,600

Speaker 3: everybody who joined us last night for a I mean,

1503
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 3: I can call it very weird No Dunks happy Hour,

1504
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 3: Draft Lottery watch party. It was just it was one

1505
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 3: of the odder ones we've done, but sure Larv's larvs

1506
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 3: were had, So thanks everybody that rolled through. If you

1507
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 3: don't have an Athletic subscription, go to the Athletic dot

1508
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 3: com slash no Dunks so they know that we sent you,

1509
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 3: and go to no dunks dot com for your No

1510
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 3: Dunk skier. Like this big beef shirt that I got

1511
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 3: on there, somebody was asking why do we do this

1512
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 3: to show off our shirts and not stand up right

1513
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 3: to show off our shirts? Like are you guys?

1514
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that's in our mail bag episode next week.

1515
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: It's our schedules.

1516
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 3: Okay, awesome, And then I knew I saw it somewhere

1517
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 3: that makes a lot of sense.

1518
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't in yesterday's show, but then we you decided

1519
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: to throw in those bends Simmons straight, so we were

1520
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: saving it for next week. Yeah, there's a conspiracy theory

1521
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: out there that there's a reason that no one stands up.

1522
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 6: In I mean, I'm not gonna yeah. I mean, you know,

1523
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 6: I wear shirts all the time, so.

1524
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 3: Okay, that's why we don't stare weird stupid. And then

1525
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 3: when I'm standing up here, I can't I can't talk

1526
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 3: into the bike. I mean, I guess hear it just

1527
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 3: a Torso time Ford boy becomes Torso boy.

1528
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 5: That's very weird. I guess we're getting into it now.

1529
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to stand up on the podcast ones

1530
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 4: and I threw my microphone everywhere and it made a huge,

1531
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 4: huge racket. So that's personally why I like to just

1532
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 4: you know, pop the shirt. That's all people care about.

1533
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 5: Anyways.

1534
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: The conspiracy theory out there is that we're all wearing

1535
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: underwear right and we don't want to show waist down.

1536
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 3: Well, and people think that because when you dropped your computer,

1537
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 3: the one time you could quickly see your your your.

1538
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: There it is rolling it in right now. People thought

1539
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: those were underwear. Wow, water an angle.

1540
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,600
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear Van Gundy talk about this.

1541
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Those are some pulling bear shorts that have pulled a

1542
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: little bit tighter over the years because they've been in

1543
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: the wash, they've been in the dryer. I love them,

1544
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: so I still wear them, but definitely no underpants. I

1545
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: mean they look all yeah, they don't like they look tidy,

1546
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: But after you sit down and you hike them up

1547
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: to get ready for the show, uh, sometimes they ride.

1548
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 1: Yeah a five inch five inch in seemed perhaps maybe

1549
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: they've just gotten smaller. It's this woven fabric that's really

1550
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: gotten a lot smaller. But I still love them.

1551
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 3: Could you could you stand up for me?

1552
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course I've got the ones on again.

1553
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 8: Okay, wow, yeah, they like they like sweatpants, but they

1554
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 8: shot sweatpants.

1555
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 6: Very comfortable, very comfortable.

1556
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 3: Clipper bros, you heard it here first.
