Speaker 4: and we got a close one in the first half.

161
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: But it was definitely a be careful what you wish

162
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: for sort of deal. It was close five points at half,

163
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: as the graphics said going to halftime. First time all

164
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: series of game within five at halftime, which is good.

165
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: But the score was forty two to thirty seven heat.

166
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: The teams had combined for twenty assists and seventeen turnovers.

167
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: Both teams under forty percent from the field. Celtics were

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: on fire from three though twenty five percent.

169
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: Cool.

170
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: I think it was like eighteen percent for Miami. We

171
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: asked for a close game in the conference finals, but

172
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: we got a close game. From the nineteen ninety seven

173
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: conference finals, you heard a lot of first team to

174
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: eighty wins, and that turned out to be true, but

175
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: not the way that people were expecting, because at halftime

176
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: the Celtics transported back to the future. The Heat stayed stuck.

177
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: In nineteen ninety seven, Boston scored the first eight of

178
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: the third quarter to take the lead. Max Struz hit

179
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: a couple of free throws, got the lead back for

180
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: the Heat. The teams went back and forth for a

181
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: little bit. Boston finished the third on a ten zero run.

182
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: You hear on broadcasts all the time the start of

183
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: the quarters are big, the end of the quarters are big.

184
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: Who cares what.

185
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: Happens in the middle matter?

186
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, But eighteen to zero in the first two and

187
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: last two minutes combined for Boston, I think they went

188
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: on a twenty four to two run was kind of

189
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 4: the biggest thing. Stretched out, had a big lead heading

190
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: into the fourth and really hit the gas. They got

191
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: to eighty with nine minutes left on a Jalen Brown three.

192
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 4: He hit another one a minute later. To give him

193
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: eighty three points. Miami was still stuck at sixty. How

194
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: this turned into a blowout too, even though Miami did

195
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 4: make it a little bit respectable in the end, got

196
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: the lead under twenty, kept it there, but it didn't

197
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: really feel like they were threatening in the fourth quarter.

198
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: They did finally get to eighty points though, on an

199
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: omer yurtzeven hook shot with about a minute left. But

200
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: we got a close game and a blowout in the

201
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 4: same game. A weird result. This has been a weird series,

202
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: but it definitely feels like Boston. They're in the driver's seat.

203
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: They've got a three to two lead, they're heading back

204
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: to Beantown, and they looked a lot better than the

205
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: Heat did in the second half of that game.

206
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 5: They looked healthier, I think as well.

207
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 7: I think Jimmy Butler probably wouldn't have played this game

208
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 7: if it was a regular season game. Maybe not even

209
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 7: Kyle Lowry as well. And I think that's really Kyle

210
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 7: Lowry was awful last night. He's got no sort of

211
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 7: power in his legs. I mean he went over five

212
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 7: from Downtown, oh for six. Max Strus as well. Now

213
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 7: there's no excuse for me. He just had a stinker.

214
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 7: But I think Jimmy Butler four for eighteen, he just

215
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 7: can't sort of go in and impose his will like

216
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 7: he did in the first two games a series. M

217
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 7: We've seen him throughout the playoffs. So Boston all that

218
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 7: really didn't drop the hammer until that third quarter why

219
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 7: where they pulled away. They went on that run, Brown

220
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 7: and Tatum started to look much better. But for the

221
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 7: Miami Heat, now they've got to go to Boston and

222
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 7: win a game to get back to play another game.

223
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 7: I just don't even know if they've got that in them,

224
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 7: if for their star players. I mean, Bam was okay

225
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 7: there for them last night, but he after that Game

226
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 7: three where he was totally dominant, that was now the

227
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 7: outlier for him for this series.

228
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: He had He had like a two to three minute

229
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: stretch in last night's game, and otherwise I thought he

230
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: was just as like just as invisible as the guy's

231
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: injured in Butler and Lowry. I didn't think he had

232
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: a great game all role.

233
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 5: No, No, I just think for the Heat he was

234
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 5: probably their best player.

235
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: But the crowd was like like urging him to like

236
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: do something the ball. They're like you hear the swelling

237
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: of the crowd like attack score because he like gets

238
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: it and then he's like has a decision already made

239
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: that I'm kicking it back out. It's very very strange.

240
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 7: No, but but I mean, on top of that, because

241
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 7: I saw as well the tweets about, oh, welcome back

242
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 7: to the nineties. But you know, as Summer who followed

243
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 7: the NBA from the eighties and nineties, I didn't want

244
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 7: to go back to this seventeen for seventy eight, they

245
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 7: shot from three combined, the teams just firing away. So yeah, Boston,

246
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 7: It's not like Boston went out there and just imposed

247
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 7: their will and dominate. It was like they just weren't

248
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 7: as bad as Miami was last night, and they sort

249
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 7: of fell over the line there and get this win.

250
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 7: But Boston now goes home with obviously a really good

251
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 7: chance to close this series out and get to the finals,

252
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 7: and they should because, as I've mentioned before, the injuries,

253
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 7: I think you're catching up to the heat, and I

254
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 7: think for the Celtics, even then, you know, Marcus Smart's

255
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 7: still probably not one hundred percent. Robert Williams, it feels

256
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 7: like he's kind of playing on about seventy five percent

257
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 7: right now, but.

258
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,359
Speaker 2: Teat them with his iron yeah, yeah, exactly.

259
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 7: And Tatum with the shoulder there. So the Celtics have

260
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 7: sort of gotten to this point where it's like, Okay,

261
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 7: you've got to close it out in six if you can,

262
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 7: and get ready for the likely the Warriors starting next week.

263
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 7: But a weird, ugly game last night, not one you

264
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 7: need to go back and rewatch, just see the score

265
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 7: and go, okay, Boston won.

266
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 6: What do you think, well coming out of the half

267
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 6: after we had an ugly first half, you think, ah, right,

268
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 6: we've seen four and a half ugly games here, but

269
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: third quarter here, this is kind of the series for

270
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 6: the Heat, they have to come out and it was

271
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 6: just shocking to see how abysmal they were, how they

272
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 6: couldn't hit a shot. One team with the young legs,

273
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum came out and took care of business. He

274
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 6: was pretty awful in the first half shooting the ball.

275
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 6: He was setting guys up, but he came out the

276
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 6: young legs in the third quarter and fourth and was great,

277
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 6: going from one of nine in the first half to

278
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 6: six of eleven in the second half. You just need

279
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 6: one guy from the Heat, one guy and there wasn't one.

280
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 6: And it was surprising to see Jimmy Butler play the

281
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: way he played because he is known as a sixteen

282
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 6: game player to get you to the NBA Finals. And yeah,

283
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 6: of course he didn't look like anything like himself. He

284
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 6: just missed shots. Now they were giving him space because

285
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 6: they didn't want him to go into bodies and and

286
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 6: and be able to get to the free throw line.

287
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 6: But there was a lot of air balls. Yeah, air

288
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: ear bowl.

289
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: He looked like three feet short.

290
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, was that a pass?

291
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, they just gave a shot and the hair put

292
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 6: one over the rim from about eight feet away. He yeah,

293
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 6: what what is the what is this version of Jimmy Butler?

294
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 6: I mean, we're gonna get to Joel em beats tweets later.

295
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 6: But he needed help. Is is this Jimmy Butler not

296
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 6: able to play you know, sixty plus games and then

297
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: be you know, the guy that you can rely on

298
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 6: to get you to the finals. Maybe maybe that's what

299
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 6: he's become. Maybe he needs, you know, somebody to help

300
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 6: him out. And obviously Bam was the guy to supposedly

301
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 6: help him out, but he wasn't there.

302
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: And then you know, the back court we taught.

303
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 6: You mentioned Kyle Lowry going into half. I've never seen

304
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 6: him more mad, missing that half courch or that that

305
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 6: pull up three that Kyle Lowry is known for. At

306
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 6: the end of the second quarter, he clanked. It was

307
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 6: really really pissed. He was oh six in this game.

308
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 6: Has had a brutal series when he has played. Max Struce,

309
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 6: his backcourt mate also over and the guys who were

310
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 6: supposed to come help out after Victor Oladipo probably earned

311
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 6: himself some money there. In Game four, had the best

312
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 6: game of the Miami He for the Miami Heat in

313
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: that game, came out and was very bad in this one.

314
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: He was one of seven talking about airballs. He clanked

315
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: a couple off the backboard there, and Tyler Heroes wasn't

316
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 6: there to save the day. Gabe Vincent was their best

317
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 6: backcourt player who was a really good supporting player this

318
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 6: season and kind of had it going in this game

319
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 6: drop in fifteen, but somebody else had to help, and

320
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 6: they're just yeah, when you get to only get to

321
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 6: eighty points, it's poor performances across the board, and so

322
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 6: a very very deflating situation here where you gotta just

323
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 6: think that Jimmy is not able to be anywhere close

324
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 6: to what we know peaked Jimmy to be. And maybe

325
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 6: it's just h yeah, the injury, I suppose, but he

326
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 6: did play in Game four and tried to battle through

327
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 6: it and had a bad game, so yeah, maybe he

328
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 6: wouldn't played if it was a regular season game. But

329
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 6: just the air balls, just it's just what what is this?

330
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: It doesn't seem like, you know, an All world basketball player.

331
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: So I guess in the game, either four free throws

332
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: or something like that in the end for four free throws,

333
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: just a handful of attempts in the restricted area. Imo

334
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: Udoka said, we're playing him like a big like they've got.

335
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: They've got a Horford and Williams guarding bam And and

336
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler, and they're just dropping every single time and saying, okay,

337
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: trying to beat us with the jumper. We know you

338
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: don't have your legs to get to the rim. Also,

339
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 4: are we got a ton of size waiting for you there,

340
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: Try and take some jumpers. That's not Jimmy Butler's game.

341
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: He's got to make free throws, especially for the heat

342
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: to be efficient in the half court. But he just

343
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: doesn't look like the same guy right now. And you know,

344
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: I remember when he sat for Game five of the

345
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: Atlanta series. We're all just thinking he's just resting, there's

346
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: nothing seriously wrong here. But he does not. He's not

347
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: moving the same way. He doesn't have the same explosion.

348
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: He doesn't obviously have the same athleticism at the rim

349
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: right now. So that's why Bam has to step up.

350
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: He has to like handle the ball. That to me

351
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: is when Bam looks his best. It's when he's bringing

352
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: the ball up the court. It doesn't give Horford and

353
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: Williams a chance to set up and just wait for

354
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: him to try and attack. It's a little bit more scattershot.

355
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: So they need him to be They need Bam to

356
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: do a little bit of what Jimmy Butler has been

357
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: able to do when they look the best and control

358
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: the tempo and just make plays out in the open court.

359
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 6: I thought, well, it was frustrating from the heat, Okay,

360
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 6: lots of mishots, all right, it's happening. They can't hit

361
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 6: They can't hit the rim at times. But Victor Oldepo

362
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 6: had two shots from three point land where he went

363
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 6: way right. Both glass same possession. Okay, I guess you're off.

364
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 6: But later in that quarter where the Heat were so

365
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 6: desperate in the third quarter for a bucket because the

366
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 6: Celtics are picking this thing up. They had a two

367
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 6: on one Jimmy and Victor Oldipo Old Deepo handling the

368
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 6: ball all right, you know, just run a two on one,

369
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 6: and Victor Oldepo gave up the ball so early. I

370
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 6: got the three point line, Jason Tatma was able to

371
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 6: go over to Jimmy Butler stop him, and then Butler

372
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 6: passed it over to Ladipo for a foul, and they

373
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 6: weren't able to score. And that's just simple two on one.

374
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: Why give it up?

375
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: Why allow that guy to commit over there to Jimmy

376
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 6: Butler when you could have easily had a layup, I mean,

377
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 6: make Jason Tatum come to you and just give the

378
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: ball up. So it's some basic stuff that really hurt them.

379
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 6: They could have scored eighty one points in this game,

380
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 6: is what I'm saying, have.

381
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 7: Averaged d he won the last two games.

382
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: And the Celtics defense is awesome. I mean, like even

383
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: the way they're playing it. Who they're leaving open, Yeah,

384
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: forcing Jimmy to shoot and like try and beat us

385
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: from the outside, just like Derek White. Now, Horford's defense

386
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: alone has just been unreal how locked in they are.

387
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: And I think both those guys had great games on

388
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: both ends of the floor once again, so it's like,

389
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: I just don't want to say it's just because the

390
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: heater missing. No, no, no, this is the Celtics defense, which

391
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: are only going seven guys basically at this point now

392
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: too always playing there.

393
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 7: But you can hear Mike Brain on that on that

394
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 7: second one, I think from all the day back, well

395
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 7: you could hear the thud.

396
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some craziness. But for some houses, Bill West, would.

397
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 4: You rather have two back to back bricks Oladipo style

398
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 4: or two back to back airballs? Jimmy Butlers, it's.

399
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 7: Tough fun because the bricks the sund Yeah, you can

400
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 7: at least again, I think we sort of talked about

401
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 7: you can fight that. Someone maybe got a bit of

402
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 7: a hand on it, you know, you do the ad

403
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 7: slip or something like that.

404
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 5: But the thought.

405
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, and the tail of two halfs back to

406
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: how you started this whole thing. Jalen Brown, I mean wow,

407
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: I mean he was he was bad jail In Brown.

408
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 2: In the first half, he was like getting his pocket

409
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: picked all the time. He had four turnovers. I think,

410
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't hitting a lot. It was like, oh,

411
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: here's another bad jail in Brown game. And then the

412
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: second half, you know, Tatum got it going your right task,

413
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: but so did Brown where those three threes that he

414
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: hit in like a small span, he had the big

415
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: dunk and it just became like it was a garbage

416
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: game because no one could score and the defenses is

417
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: amazing on both sides, don't get me wrong. But then

418
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: it was like, well, somebody who is just going to

419
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: be the better shot maker here for a stretch, and

420
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: it was, of course the team with the younger guys

421
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: in Tatum and Brown, maybe the more desperate guys that

422
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: haven't been to the finals yet. Here they came through

423
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: where Butler is an injury based probably Lowry and then

424
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: sort of Bam, who did some work on the boards.

425
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: I don't want to like discredit him there. He was

426
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 2: fighting there, but like those guys didn't know and they

427
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 2: just couldn't get shots. But Brown and Tatum shirt did

428
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: yea when it mattered.

429
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tatum said after game we played five years together.

430
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 6: I knew he was starting to feel it. I was

431
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 6: going to give him the ball, and I thought that

432
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 6: even though Tatum stunk in the first half his passes,

433
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 6: he knew he could set guys up, some beauty passes,

434
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 6: some money passes from the lane, setting guys up. And

435
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 6: with nine assists, it was pretty to watch. But the

436
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 6: Celtics got away.

437
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: With a game.

438
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 6: As he said, those turnovers where they had it, Yeah,

439
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 6: they're just giving it away again. But they got away

440
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 6: with it because, yeah, the Heat absolutely couldn't score. And

441
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 6: much kudos to Derek White. I didn't expect another Derek

442
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 6: White game, but he came off the bench and was

443
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: really a catalyst in that first half. He was kind

444
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 6: of the glue that held this team together. Tyler Hero

445
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 6: did that in Game one for the Miami Heat when

446
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 6: they were just bunking it all over the place. They

447
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 6: needed a guy off the bench. He helped. Obviously, Tyler

448
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 6: Hero looking the way he did dressed on the sideline yesterday,

449
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 6: unable to help on the floor.

450
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 3: Great look, cool look.

451
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 6: But Derek White, Baby, I didn't expect two aggressive games

452
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 6: back to back, fourteen points, five assists and just real, real, aggressive,

453
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 6: sometimes overly aggressive. He had three turnovers caused by you know,

454
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 6: just throwing his body around, but that was needed good

455
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 6: for him, good good, and and one of those moments

456
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 6: you don't often see in basketball. He was hustling back

457
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 6: to create a steel situation, so he's be lining it

458
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 6: to his own hoop, got the steel and jumped over

459
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 6: the baseline and he was underneath his own hoop and

460
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 6: he's looking around, What am I going to do with it?

461
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: What am I going to do with it?

462
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: I can't, I got nowhere to go. And he just

463
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: landed out of the house.

464
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty neat. Yeah, you see a lot of a

465
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: lot of guys like try and just save that anyway

466
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: and it can backfire.

467
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was cool, just something cool, I think something

468
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 6: one of the coolest things in the game yesterday We're Desperate.

469
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know what else was cool for talking cool

470
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: things from that sort of weird game. The time Lord's

471
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: block that they kept showing over and over again. Who

472
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: did he block on that three? Was it?

473
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 5: Was it?

474
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 2: Vincent?

475
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 5: Yes? I think it was? Yeah, Yeah, where he came from?

476
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: Awesome? Yeah, I mean the guy and he's playing on

477
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: one bum leg and that just looked so just getting

478
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: his fingertips coming from the paint all the way out

479
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: to the three point line and blocking in and he's

480
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: done that before, but it just looks awesome.

481
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 7: That's those young legs in the athleticism. We can get

482
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 7: out there and cover all that ground. Sorry, but then

483
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 7: that's just what he don't have right now. They don't

484
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 7: have guys able.

485
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: To do that.

486
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 7: So he's been a big fact of rob Wlians when

487
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 7: he's been on the quarter in the series. And yeah,

488
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 7: I mean it's huge for him, so great, great defensive highlight. Yeah,

489
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 7: and see a whole lot of them.

490
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: Let me just go over how crazy the massive like

491
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: swings have been in this series, because I think it's

492
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: fun to illustrate. In Game one, Miami went on a

493
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: forty four to fourteen run, Okay, there was that. In

494
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: Game two, Boston went on a sixty to twenty one

495
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: type of run. In Game three, Miami opened on a

496
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: forty six to twenty run followed by a fifty seven

497
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: to thirty three run from Celtics to make it a game.

498
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: And we had a twenty six to four run by

499
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: the Celtics to open Game four, and then in Game five, tray.

500
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: You said it. It was a twenty four to two

501
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: run over about six and a half minutes end of

502
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: the third into the fourth quarter, and then you know,

503
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: so that score went from one point game to suddenly

504
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: the Boston's up twenty three points and it was and

505
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: it was over. It's good.

506
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: It's really really right now for not making a twenty

507
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 4: two to two watch that unless they hit a three

508
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 4: and it was twenty one to two. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

509
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 4: it is crazy to see the runs like this and

510
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: neither team able to like put a stop to the

511
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: run when it starts. Yeah, that's the crazy thing to me,

512
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: considering how good both of these teams are defensively.

513
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: Anything else. I mean, the only other note I have

514
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: just the heat shooting a abysmal fifteen point six percent

515
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: from three seven of forty five.

516
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw. Rockets fans were pretty excited about that.

517
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 4: They're like, we're not the worst anymore. After the over

518
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: twenty seven the Warriors. I also liked that Grant Williams

519
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: got the start in the second half. Uh emo U

520
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: Dooka says it's because Robert Williams was stretching, but Grant

521
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: Williams said it's because he was poopy.

522
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 5: I think it was the personally.

523
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was the amazing, amazing that just happens.

524
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 6: You know, you play the first half of basketball, you

525
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 6: go back into the locker.

526
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: Room loosened up.

527
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm tightened up after I like, so, so when

528
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 6: did it happen? It happened because halftime is like fifteen sixteen,

529
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: seventeen minutes long.

530
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of time.

531
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you gotta sat down here.

532
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: What coach has to say it the first part.

533
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: So he sat down at that twelve minute or something. Yeah,

534
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 6: it's just the timing seems off because there's three stories.

535
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 6: See there's also this stretch. Had to use the facilities

536
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 6: or it was a move to get Grant Williams out

537
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 6: there to play alongside Al Horford took just back up

538
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 6: off Jimmy Butler. I mean that's what I was buying

539
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: at the beginning, sure, because that's that's they're just giving

540
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler space, as you said, playing him like a

541
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 6: big Robert Williams could.

542
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: Help there as well.

543
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: So yeah, he had to take care of business whatever

544
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 6: that was like.

545
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: But whatever, Friday night, what do you think is this

546
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: the Bean Town boys taking care of business. Here are

547
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: they going to get the Bob Who's the awards and

548
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: Larry Bird Conference Finals on their own? Larry Bird be

549
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 2: there handing it out.

550
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 7: I guess so, I guess I think so. Yeah, if

551
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 7: they went yeah, I honestly, I just think the Heat's

552
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 7: offense and you know, Tyler Hero wasn't there last night,

553
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 7: but even without him, they've had seventy nine against the

554
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 7: Sixers at one point and eighty two and eighty in

555
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 7: the last two games.

556
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were up five at the half because the

557
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: Souldiers kept turning the ball over. They should have been

558
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: up way more then, Goni pointed it out. They did

559
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: not take advantage on a lot of those turnovers. Yeah,

560
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: were they botch fast breaks or just like could have

561
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: scored and didn't threw the ball away on the other

562
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: end as well, like they should have been up bigger.

563
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a game like this should sort of factor. Then.

564
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 7: They liked the grind, they liked the tough but it

565
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 7: didn't work because they just didn't seem to have anyone

566
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 7: flowing offensively. So yes, I do think the Celtics close

567
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: it out.

568
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 5: They should.

569
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 7: I think they are a better team. I think they're deeper.

570
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 7: I think their defense is good. They're healthy, they've got

571
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 7: better stars, so they should be able to finish it

572
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 7: off from here. Just one more point. Now, I'm putting

573
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 7: j D under the spot here because I just slacked

574
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 7: him an image.

575
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 5: I don't know.

576
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 3: I know.

577
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 5: I couldn't say you have it.

578
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 7: I know you have it not on JD during the show,

579
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 7: which is smart, But I wanted to bring it up

580
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 7: because something weird happened last night.

581
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 5: Now I think it was photoshopped, but I'm not sure.

582
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 5: I'm not sure.

583
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 7: Well, so Tyler Hero obviously wasn't playing last night. Now

584
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 7: there was an image floating around.

585
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying.

586
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 7: Now, I don't know if it was photoshopped or I

587
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 7: think it was. Yeah, So so Tyler here on the

588
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 7: sideline looking great, you know, not playing.

589
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 5: He had the glass.

590
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 2: It looks so great. He was wearing a weight outfit

591
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: with snaker.

592
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 5: He looked move Yeah, he looked very Miamic.

593
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: Now he blew out his hair, I think him.

594
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 5: I mean, that's drawn on, isn't That's not right? Because

595
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 5: it was going around.

596
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 7: And there was a lot of people saying, like, you know,

597
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 7: like because I've never seen him with facial and all

598
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 7: of a sudden, he's going could have.

599
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: I think people were leaning into the idea like he

600
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: looked like a cooking sort of Yeah, yeah, yeah, real

601
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Miami vibes.

602
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 5: But I also was like it could be real.

603
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, yeah, I see.

604
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 6: That a little off kilter, but yeah, yeah, yeah pretty

605
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 6: well one part.

606
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I saw it.

607
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 6: I knew it was photoshop because I saw him baby

608
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 6: face earlier than I saw that.

609
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, whoa, it does look good.

610
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 7: I saw him baby face as well, and I thought

611
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 7: maybe it's just the camera the lights.

612
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 5: I don't know.

613
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 7: I hoped this was real. I suspect that it wasn't.

614
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 7: I just thought, you know, why not have some fun there.

615
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 7: But yeah, he's he's really embraced the Miami douchey look,

616
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 7: you know, like sunglasses inside white shirt.

617
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 6: That's another blowout that hare.

618
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the sixth blowout of this same same question. I

619
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: asked Lee, are you guys? I guess I asked Tredy yesterday, like,

620
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: whoever wins the pivotal Game five, are they going on

621
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: to win this series? I think you said Tree at

622
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 2: the time, like, well, it's much more important for Miami

623
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: to win Game five. You still feel that way, I assume.

624
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it did feel like the series pivoted towards

625
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 4: the Celtics last night. Just how good they were in

626
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 4: that second half and how Jalen Brown was able to

627
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: get on tracked, and how Tatum was like trusting the

628
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 4: playmaking and obviously the defense stuck around and just seeing

629
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 4: how he beat down the Heat. Look right now, it's

630
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 4: just tough to imagine them going on the road in

631
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: what's going to be like a Rockets environment, no doubt,

632
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 4: like the Boston crowd has been and better than the

633
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: Miami crowd so far in the series. I assume it

634
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 4: will be in an elimination game as well. It just

635
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: feels like the Heat are not at full strength right now,

636
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 4: and even at full strength, it's hard to see necessarily

637
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: how they get to enough points.

638
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: Series desperately need a lowry three point explosion, you know

639
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: where he has those games where he hits four five

640
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: six threes. They so need those. In your right test,

641
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: he looked like on a couple of ones he misses,

642
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 2: he was just shaking his head like, why the hell

643
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: won't this thing go ahead? You know, like come off

644
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 2: that pick top or step into it in transition. He

645
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: hits those, but he can't write out at all, and

646
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: he was horrible. I love Lowry, he was brutal, Butler's brutal.

647
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: I think he's got a good reason why he's been

648
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: playing poorly the last couple game, and I thought Bam

649
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: was just as bad again outside of like that little

650
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: stretch where suddenly Bam woke up and was like, all right,

651
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: maybe a little too late, but those guy's gotta step up.

652
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

653
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 6: You gotta feel terrible for Kyle Lowry as supporters of

654
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 6: his guy, as somebody who came in and helped out

655
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 6: and won a championship and knows that this is exactly

656
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 6: his role when things aren't working for the number one

657
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: or the number two. Here I am, I'm going to

658
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 6: drop a shot in. But it just shows you've got

659
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 6: to play basketball to be able to be good at basketball.

660
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 6: I think he's been in him coming in like reps. Yeah,

661
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 6: especially in the older days. He's got to be able

662
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: to just continuously play, and he's been in and out

663
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 6: of the lineup. And that's why I think it's so

664
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 6: frustrating for him because he knows these shots can go down,

665
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 6: but he's just not in a rhythm and not in

666
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 6: a flow. So there's an excuse there. There is an

667
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 6: excuse for Jimmy Butler. And to give a little praise

668
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 6: to Jimmy Butler, at least he went down firing last night.

669
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 6: It wasn't it wasn't a James Harden experience. He came

670
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 6: in and started shooting right away. But I think this

671
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 6: team is absolutely done. And to me, when Jalen Brown

672
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 6: dunked on this team midway through the fourth quarter and

673
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 6: there wasn't any resistance from bam Adebayo, bam just kind

674
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 6: of watch. It's that's their big man who shut down

675
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 6: the Celtics team a couple of years ago in the bubble,

676
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 6: and he didn't jump. I think everybody knows that this

677
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 6: thing is over. And it's not like last series for

678
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 6: the Boston Celtics, the giveaway Game five, were able to

679
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 6: win Game six in Game seven. But I don't think

680
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 6: this happens. I don't see the heat doing that.

681
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's hear.

682
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 7: From the stream team when you got well, Lowry's three

683
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 7: for his last twenty three from Downtown, eight for thirty

684
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 7: nine in the playoffs from three, So that explosion is unlikely.

685
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 5: Well, he certainly do, yes, Yeah.

686
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 7: But yeah, he's just not not able to get that elevation.

687
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 5: Those shots look flat.

688
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: They look flat. You know, he's always had it almost

689
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: sort of a flat.

690
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right.

691
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: Let's hear from the stream team everybody watching listening later,

692
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: how this go down on Friday night? Game six? The

693
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: Bean Town Boys taking care of business? Or you know,

694
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: can this veteran Heat team win again in Boston? They

695
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: have done it and you know, maybe maybe Butler or

696
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: Lowry or Bam can take control and get this back

697
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: for a game seven. Let us know what you think

698
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna take our first break when we come back.

699
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: We got a whole bunch of is this news and

700
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,920

Speaker 2: How'd the graduation go yesterday?

706

Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it was fine.

707
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: I'd look, it was a little subdued in there, though,

708
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 7: I'll be honest with you know a lot of parents.

709
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 7: I think we were all, you know, thinking the same thing.

710
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 7: That could have happened the day before, So it was.

711
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 7: It was a fun celebration to see our boys and

712
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 7: girls ending pre K, but maybe not as joyous as

713
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 7: it may have been at other time.

714
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: You did say Oscar got an award though.

715
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 5: He got MVP. He did the MVP MVP of.

716
00:30:59,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Pre K.

717
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 4: Trophy.

718
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 6: Who says people are now just handing up participation awards

719
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: are smoking?

720
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 7: Well the old Simpson joke of every kid gets an

721
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 7: award day was really every single child received some award envy.

722
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: Not every not every kid was m v P.

723
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 7: No, no, no, but he yeah, it was for being

724
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 7: very helpful to the teacher and to his students and

725
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 7: always being available to help them as.

726
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: What the pupil.

727
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 5: Yes, so yes, he picked up his first m v P.

728
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to is this news?

729
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: Hear this?

730
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: There's this news headlines for the guys and for everyone

731
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: joining his live listening watching later and you just tell

732
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: me after I give you the headline. Yeah, that's news,

733
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: that's not news.

734
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 5: What's wrong with you?

735
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: First one, ESPN, you never heard of it?

736
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am.

737
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed saying ESPN the headline was, this is

738
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 2: a weird headline. Tatum thankful for making All NBA First Team,

739
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: but he wants rules around voting, so tasks. Is this news?

740
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 6: I like the way Jason Tatum approached this. He was

741
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 6: asked about making the first team, but then he brought up,

742
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 6: why isn't it positionless? Doesn't really make sense that Joel

743
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 6: Embiid was second in MVP voting but is on the

744
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 6: second team. Get what you're saying, Tatum, totally get what

745
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: you're saying. It makes sense. I think he's onto something.

746
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 6: What if MVP voting just doubled over for all NBA

747
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 6: voting just just just replicated you just need one vote,

748
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: one vote for these these media members vote for the MVP,

749
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 6: and then the top fifteen, regardless of position, as Jason

750
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 6: Tatum said, are the All NBA teams. Because you go

751
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 6: into it, it's perfect, actually it really It just it's

752
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 6: duplicated across the board because the twelve guys that got

753
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 6: MVP votes are on the three first teams of All NBA.

754
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: So there's any any vote, not just uh every vote,

755
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: every vote.

756
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 6: So and and it works like for first, second, and third.

757
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 6: So the top five in MVP voting where Yokich, Embiid,

758
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 6: Yiannis Booker and Doncic, so matching what the first team was,

759
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 6: but dropping Tatum to the second four MB perfect, and

760
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 6: then the next five in voting were Tatum himself on

761
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: the second team just like he said he should be,

762
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 6: sort of, uh, Morant, Curry, CP, and DeRozan. So you

763
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 6: got Tatum for EMBIID three other correct, Marant, Curry and

764
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 6: d D M DeMar DeRozan. But CP kind of jumped

765
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 6: from the third team, which he was on, so you

766
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 6: know what I mean, It's it's pretty accurate. Then Lebron

767
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 6: and Durant were the eleventh and twelfth and MVP voting

768
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 6: and Lebron was on the third team and Durant was

769
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 6: on the second. Right, Tracy Akham and Town's the only

770
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 6: guys on the All NBA team that didn't get MVP votes.

771
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 6: But maybe you have to vote for for fifteen guys.

772
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 6: I guess that doesn't really.

773
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: Working, but it sounds like sick o skeet stage.

774
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it works. It kind of works.

775
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 6: It's positionless basketball, kind of punished, I guess if that's

776
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 6: the right word MB for being a center, and he

777
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 6: goes to the second team. So yeah, I think Tatum's

778
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 6: onto something.

779
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 2: He also has thoughts though on who sort of should

780
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: be voting on these too. Right, is a part of

781
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: the equation because of what happened last year with him

782
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: and him missing out on a ton of money and

783
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: not making a particular team. So he's also this always

784
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 2: comes up, right, who should be voting on these awards?

785
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: Should it be players and coaches? Should we stick with

786
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 2: the media? Does anybody know anything?

787
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing. To me, this kind of played

788
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 4: out like even Tatum doesn't really have a solution for

789
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 4: how this should be done. He said, there's not really

790
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 4: a set rules on who should qualify. There should be

791
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 4: some rules in place. I don't know exactly, but maybe

792
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 4: you should have to play certain amount of games, or

793
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 4: maybe you're a playoff team or not. He's basically just

794
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 4: saying something eight right and it needs to change, but

795
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: nobody can figure it out. Because should it be the

796
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: players who, when we see at All Star voting, vote

797
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 4: for their own teammates and themselves and don't take it

798
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 4: super seriously. Should it be the coaches who everybody says

799
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 4: don't vote on it in any ways and give it

800
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 4: to the assistance. Should it be the general managers who

801
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 4: have a huge financial incentive with regards to this voting, Like,

802
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like there's a perfect solution to this.

803
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: I saw on Twitter last night that Miles Brown suggested,

804
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 4: in an NBA Supreme Court, you get nine legends and

805
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 4: they make rulings on rules and awards and all that

806
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 4: kind of stuff.

807
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 7: Why not Yeah, well, Jalen Rose shouldn't be on that

808
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 7: Supreme Court. I mean he's given guys votes who played

809
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 7: twenty nine games.

810
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, he admitted it was a mistake on ESPN yesterday. Yeah.

811
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 7: So that's again though, because I believe the players are

812
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 7: the most qualified, because I do think overall, there is

813
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 7: way more respect of like, Okay, I like this guy,

814
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 7: he deserves votes, and they've played so they can repay

815
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 7: it like that. But this is an incident where it's like, no,

816
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 7: there's no justification for Kyrievy being on an All NBA

817
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 7: team when he played twenty nine games. Unless he us

818
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 7: averaging sixty five a game and they won twenty eight

819
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 7: of twenty nine, maybe it didn't happen. But I also

820
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 7: believe that the games played should be marked into the criteria.

821
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 7: You should have to meet a certain point seventy five

822
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 7: percent of the games. I don't think that's unreasonable. That

823
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 7: will also.

824
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 5: Maybecourage players to exactly to.

825
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 7: Be like, well, hang on a minute, I've had a

826
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 7: great season. I've got to play two or three more

827
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 7: games down the stretch here to qualify for that, and

828
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 7: then they go out and play.

829
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: That's one rule you would like to see like implemented

830
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: absolute NBA or maybe a lot of these awards an

831
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: x amount of games played a percentage of games played,

832
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: And that's just if you don't hit it, you're not,

833
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: in the conversation ineligible.

834
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there has to be some sort of

835
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 7: qualification period. Now, there'll be some guys who'll be like,

836
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 7: well I was injured, I couldn't play. Well, okay, bad luck,

837
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 7: you miss out. But then of course it filters down

838
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 7: to like the incentives in their bonuses and their contracts

839
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 7: of where you where you finish as to whether or

840
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 7: not you can sign the super Max or the Duper

841
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 7: Max or the super Duper Whooper Dupi Duper Looper Max.

842
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 5: Whatever that is, Cooper Max.

843
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 7: But you know there, it is an imperfect situation as

844
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 7: it is right now. But I also believe very much

845
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 7: so that it should be positionless kind of what if

846
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 7: you've finished top three in MVP and you're not in

847
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 7: the All NBA. There's a problem there because you were

848
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 7: one of the best.

849
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 5: Three in the league.

850
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 7: But then there are minimum exactly, but there are three

851
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 7: other guys better than you, or you know, finished in

852
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 7: the All NBA team because you qualified overlapped at another guys.

853
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: I think can beat as the only person in NBA

854
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: history to finish runner up in MVP and not be

855
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: on the first team, and he's not it twice, right, Yeah,

856
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: so and that position. But the way we do these still.

857
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there's only one center spy, Yeah.

858
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 7: Which is it's just silly because it's just it's an award,

859
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 7: it's an accolade.

860
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 5: It's not a game.

861
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 7: You're not going out there to playing qualify, so you

862
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 7: should get that honor. If you were top three in

863
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 7: the league, you're automatically on the All NBA team.

864
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess I'll push back on sometimes like some

865
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: of the current players saying, oh, why why are these

866
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: one hundred sports writers, Like what do they have to

867
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: say about this? And why do they get a vote?

868
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: It's like, well, we're just proving. With Jalen Rose, a

869
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: former player who I guess now is a broadcaster, but

870
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: like there are there are going to be shitty selections

871
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: from current players, former players, GMS coaches, broadcasters, podcasters, like yeah,

872
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, there's going to be shitty selections, and

873
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: like they should be embarrassing, they should be called out.

874
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: Not that anything really ever comes from it. No, Like,

875
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that is voting for Kyrie for one of

876
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: these positions, isn't sane? And that twenty nine games, like

877
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 2: that's that's a joke. And then he couldn't what was

878
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 2: his reason besides it was a mistake. What is mistake?

879
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: What a similar name is? He did it for content

880
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 2: and he doesn't because it doesn't really matters the other part.

881
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: But like that's that's shameful.

882
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 5: Really it is.

883
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 7: And that's where a qualification of games played would have

884
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 7: eliminated happening. But also if you do vote for him,

885
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 7: then Jalen get off. You can't vote next year, you

886
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 7: get banned for five years.

887
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 2: Well, if we had the NBA Supreme Court exactly right, Yeah, yeh,

888
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 2: gotta go make his case and.

889
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 5: Or the rule on it.

890
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a minimum games played is good minimum games.

891
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: Watched for broadcasters.

892
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: Clock in.

893
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to video yourself. Yeah clock in is good,

894
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: I mean watching it.

895
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: You need your game tape as well. How are you

896
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 4: paying at time? Well off in your eyes locked on

897
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 4: the screen.

898
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 6: Because your players are going to vote for guys that

899
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 6: they think are good basketball players. People were really upset

900
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 6: that Kyrie Irving wasn't on the top seventy five list.

901
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 6: Andre good Dolls and how is this guy not part

902
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 6: of the top seventy five list. So they're going to

903
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 6: find a way to put it. They're going to rank

904
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 6: the top fifteen players who they think are in the game.

905
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 6: And I guess Jalen Brown was Jaylen Brown. Jalen Rose

906
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 6: was watching Kyrie Irving during a good game one day,

907
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 6: and so this guy's a top fifteen player in the NBA,

908
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 6: but overall his season was not. Kendrick Perkins did the

909
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 6: same with the All Rookie vote. He put Trey Murphy

910
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 6: of An Orleans Pelicans and Alvarado on the second team

911
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 6: over Herbert Jones, their teammate and was a real factor

912
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 6: on their team. To call those guys that everybody's going

913
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 6: to make bad.

914
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 2: Picks, Yeah it's true, Okay, next one.

915
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 3: Report, Wow, Yeah, Well, I.

916
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 2: Want to know how much you guys followed the sport.

917
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm testing you. You guys are gonna get one of

918
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: these votes down the line. I got to know that

919
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: you read report. Dude.

920
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I used to ride for Okay, you're in.

921
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: Here's your vote.

922
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 5: Thanks.

923
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: Uh, you're just gonna vote for Rozzie, So that's gonna

924
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: be your issue, Okay. Kevin Durant reportedly hasn't spoken to

925
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: the NETS front office since the playoff sweep. Is this news?

926
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 4: What is the news? But it might be news to

927
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 4: start with. I don't think it's a big deal at all.

928
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: But Kevin Durant hasn't talked with the Nets. They've been

929
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 4: out of the playoffs for a month. We know he

930
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 4: traveled to the euro League to watch that is the

931
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 4: Nets were eliminated. He's barely even been active on Twitter

932
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 4: this week. I think he's got one tweet this week,

933
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 4: So to me, he's just taken some me time. Yeah,

934
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 4: there's not much to do Nets wise right now. Either.

935
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 4: They don't currently have a pick. I think they can

936
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 4: swap with the Sixers this year if they want to,

937
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 4: or next year if they want to. But they made

938
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 4: their big move at the trade deadline. So now for

939
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: the Nets, it's like, we got to get Ben Simmons healthy,

940
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 4: we got to figure out what our veteran role players

941
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 4: are going to be. So to me, Katie tuning out

942
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 4: right now, It's fine, the season is still happening. Who cares.

943
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 4: The bigger news, though, is that the Nets may not

944
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 4: extend Kyrie Irving, as Christian Winfield that the New York

945
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 4: Daily News reported due to Kyrie's personal decision not to

946
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 4: get vaccinated and unpredictable injury history, the Nets are hesitant

947
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 4: and now outright unwilling to give him a long term extension.

948
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 4: And I buy that at least a little bit based

949
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 4: on the Seawan Marks press conference right after the Nets

950
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 4: were eliminated, where he's basically saying Kyrie needs to get

951
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 4: with the program here. We need to have everybody on

952
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 4: the same page going forward. Now, Kyrie has a player

953
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 4: option for next season, but he's going to a longer

954
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: deal because in the three seasons he's been with the Nets,

955
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 4: Kyrie's played one hundred and three games. Kevin Durant played

956
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 4: ninety games, and he missed an entire season with an

957
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 4: achilles injury. So I'm almost more more curious at this

958
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: point if Kevin Durant has talked to Kyrie Irving rather

959
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 4: than talking to the Nets, because if Katie's still on

960
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: board with Kyrie, the Nets are going to be as well.

961
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 4: But if not, I'm monitoring the extension, Like if the

962
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 4: extension comes all good in Brooklyn, you know, at least

963
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 4: between the different players and personnel there. But if not,

964
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 4: Kyrie becomes the best available free agent for sure, also

965
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 4: with a ton of baggage.

966
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 3: So this is something.

967
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 4: I don't think the not talking to the Nets is something,

968
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,479
Speaker 4: but the Nets not being that enthused with Kyrie Irving

969
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: that is m what do you think.

970
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 7: I wouldn't extend him at all. No way, He's just

971
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 7: proved too much that he just is not committed. And

972
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 7: sometimes it's injury, sometimes it's just personal issues. Sometimes he's

973
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 7: just flaky. So I would not lock him into a

974
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 7: three or four year extension. He's got the one, as

975
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 7: try to mention, they're the player option for season. You

976
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 7: can extend him basically for as long as you want.

977
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 7: Alf that if you choose to. If he's looking for

978
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 7: four years, I'd say then that's no thanks. We'll give

979
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 7: you maybe one if you want but that's it. He's

980
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 7: a great player when he plays, but he's also you

981
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 7: just can't rely on him. You can't trust him. You

982
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 7: don't know where he's going to go, you don't know

983
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 7: what he's going to be doing, So there's no need

984
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 7: to lock him up for that. Almost dare him, say

985
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 7: go and find a team to give you a four

986
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 7: year contract. I'm not sure there'd be too many teams

987
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 7: saying we'll lock Kyrie moving up because they know he's

988
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 7: a risk.

989
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

990
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 2: The counter to that is what Tree was saying.

991
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: Though.

992
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 2: If Durant says, no, Currie, you're locking them up because

993
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: they want him here, then you've got a more of

994
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: a decision because now it's like two guys here that

995
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: you've got to worry about. Well, you do, but if

996
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 2: they're linked, yeah, that tat still.

997
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 7: But you've also locked Kevin Durant up already, So there's

998
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 7: you know, I mean, yeah.

999
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: Ken piss off Kevin around. He's like, trade me. I

1000
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 2: don't want to be here.

1001
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 5: Maybe he does, maybe he does, Just that's your concern.

1002
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 7: I just I think Kevin Durant is probably going I

1003
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 7: don't know what I'm going to get out of Kyrie either,

1004
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 7: so Kevin Durant, no doubt carries some weight in the

1005
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 7: front office. But I don't think the point to the

1006
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 7: point where that Joseph saw and Chill Max's like, well,

1007
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 7: if he wants Carter to get a four year, then

1008
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 7: we give him a full year.

1009
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 5: I don't think they.

1010
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 2: Did it with de Andre Jordan basically, but maybe they've

1011
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: learned their lesson.

1012
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1013
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: This is interesting. I guess what do you think?

1014
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, totally interesting if they picked them as a tandem,

1015
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 6: or if if they don't pick Iri and Kevin Durant says,

1016
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 6: all right, I'm out of here as well. So it's

1017
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 6: that's the interesting the duo. If I understand, maybe they

1018
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 6: haven't talked to Kevin Durant, but it doesn't really matter

1019
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 6: at this point. And I think I think they're in

1020
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 6: some sort of communication. What does talk actually mean? You know,

1021
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 6: what does talk mean these days?

1022
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 3: Shared?

1023
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 2: Any sort of communication?

1024
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's talking. If we're texting, we're talking. I think

1025
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 3: they talk.

1026
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 2: And I think this is wrong.

1027
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 6: Then well I think I think, yeah, talk. You can

1028
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 6: be intro It's like did I listen to an audio

1029
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 6: book or did I read a book? If I listened

1030
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 6: to an audio book, did you talk if you text it?

1031
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 6: I think I think we're getting into a gray area

1032
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 6: and uh, Christian would feel got his sources. But you know,

1033
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 6: reading into this a little bit more, if you remember

1034
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 6: during the Mikhail Prokerov years of the Brooklyn Nets, his

1035
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 6: president Arena Pavlova, she was sort of like the front facing,

1036
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 6: did a lot of stuff for the Brooklyn Nets. She

1037
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 6: was there for seven years and still sort of in

1038
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 6: in touch with the Nets runt office. She said, seriously,

1039
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 6: if you really think that Sean Marks hasn't spoken to

1040
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 6: his star player in a month, then I've got a

1041
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 6: couple of Bridges I'll give you a good deal on.

1042
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 6: So she's basically saying, of course KD is in the know, Andles.

1043
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: Bridges is going to be traded. They could use them.

1044
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 3: Who is who did you reference earlier? Miles Miles Brown?

1045
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot of good names out there these days,

1046
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 6: Bridges and Browns.

1047
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 3: Well whatever, I think. I think Kevin Durant is link

1048
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 3: to Kyrie. If they say if they say.

1049
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 6: Bug off to Kyrie, then if if Kyrie doesn't want

1050
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 6: to be a part of it, whether it's a shorter

1051
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 6: extension than I wonder if, yeah, that alienates KD. I

1052
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 6: think that's a legitimate idea, even if he is signed.

1053
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: Next one from Hoopswire. Have you honestly ever heard of

1054
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: that's just so straight up quick hoops. I've never heard

1055
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 2: of the same anyway, hoops Wire a little aggregation here.

1056
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 2: NBA reportedly eyeing expansion into Seattle and Las Vegas. Leea's

1057
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: this news.

1058
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 7: Uh, well, this has been rumored for a while now,

1059
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 7: and it really picked up steam during the shutdown for

1060
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 7: COVID there because the NBA lost a lot of revenue,

1061
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 7: and apparently one way to recover some of that revenue

1062
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 7: is to expand because it's a two and a half

1063
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 7: bill buy in apparently, so there's a lot of billionaires

1064
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 7: out there who want to get in, and they know

1065
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 7: that these option opportunities don't pop up very often. So

1066
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 7: if you can get a couple of billionaires to come

1067
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 7: in and cough up two and a half bill, and

1068
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 7: then they get to distribute a lot of that amongst

1069
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 7: the other owners.

1070
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 5: It's a cash cow.

1071
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 7: So I think it is likely to happen at some

1072
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 7: point in the future. How soon, I'm not sure.

1073
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 2: The rumor is about two twenty four. Yeah, that media

1074
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: is at a little.

1075
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 7: Soon For me, I would say maybe a year or

1076
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 7: two later.

1077
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 5: But I think I think.

1078
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 7: Personally we're halfway through twenty twenty two. Can we get

1079
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 7: them two up and running within eighteen months two years?

1080
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 5: Maybe? Maybe? I don't know that.

1081
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 7: I mean, I know they do any well, true, and

1082
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 7: I know there is an arena arena in Sad Seattle,

1083
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 7: I believe where the Kraken plays, and that the that

1084
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 7: was new so so maybe, yeah, okay, maybe they can

1085
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 7: get him in there. But I think it is just

1086
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 7: a matter of time before it happened. I'm not sure

1087
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 7: it's for the right reasons. I think we have a

1088
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 7: lot of teams in the NBA through every season that

1089
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 7: basically stink from the start. There's maybe five to six

1090
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 7: teams that you're like, they're tanking. They're tanking, they're not

1091
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 7: even competing. Adding two more dilutes the pool of talent

1092
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 7: a little bit more. But money talks and bullshit walks.

1093
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 5: As I learned from watching Twins.

1094
00:47:54,920 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 7: So you know Danny Devidos, right, yeah.

1095
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 5: Nice, No, you see you later. So it's gonna happen.

1096
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 5: It's gonna happen.

1097
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 7: It's just a matter of when, But unfortunately, it'd be

1098
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 7: great to be back in Seattle for sure.

1099
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure, you know.

1100
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 7: Las Vegas to me is such a contradiction because gambling

1101
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 7: is allowed now, but you're not allowed to gamble if

1102
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 7: you're a player. But we're also going to put a

1103
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 7: team in that city, sin city, where there's so many

1104
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 7: vices and things for young men with a lot of

1105
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 7: money and a lot of time on the hands to

1106
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 7: get caught up in. I'm gonna put a team right

1107
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 7: there and then say don't gamble and don't get into traveling.

1108
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: Can you bet on the Vegas sports teams in Nevada?

1109
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: Like when they're playing? Like, I don't know if you can, Like,

1110
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: can I bet on an ASA's game when I'm there

1111
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: watching or not there? But you know, obviously placing a

1112
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: bet in Nevada, I don't know. I don't know what

1113
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 2: the ruling is.

1114
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

1115
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 4: The answer is yes, but no, Okay, all right, we'll

1116
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 4: leave it at that. Yep.

1117
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just gonna say, but the Seattle arena,

1118
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 6: I thought the Crack can play in a new arena,

1119
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 6: but that's an old arena, oh is it? That's been

1120
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 6: revitalized a bit nineteen sixty two.

1121
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a key arena, right, it's the same arena, so.

1122
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 3: That they did some work on it though, Yeah, so doable.

1123
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 6: Obviously there's an NHL team playing there, and the Storm

1124
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 6: play there as well, I do believe.

1125
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 2: So, Okay, what if we have those teams in Seattle

1126
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: and Las Vegas. Those are two Western Conference teams, that's right,

1127
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: somebody's got to come east.

1128
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 4: Memphis and Minnesota. Okay, those are your two teams. Come

1129
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 4: in the eastern New Orleans, New Orleans. That's a solid

1130
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 4: I forgot about New Orleans. Yeah, I was checking Oklahoma

1131
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 4: City to see which was further east between Minnesota and

1132
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City. But New Orleans is a lot further east

1133
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 4: than either of them, Memphis and New Orleans.

1134
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds good.

1135
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 4: Throw them in the Southeast Division, the Hawks, the Heat.

1136
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 4: Magic probably moved the Wizards out of that one, right

1137
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 4: because they're living far north.

1138
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 3: Ohuy has done some geography.

1139
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 4: Well, except for completely forgetting about the city of its

1140
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 4: Other than that.

1141
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 7: Might be on the move though as well. That's that's

1142
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 7: not totally out of the range of possibility.

1143
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 2: What year is that?

1144
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 7: The reason that is in the Northwest, like a Clima City,

1145
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 7: or in the Midwest. They're probably Midwest, a Clama City,

1146
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 7: we know, a classic classic Northwest team.

1147
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Julia, but what do you think of expansion, Like

1148
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: you think this is going to happen, You think these

1149
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 2: are viable spots. I mean, I think we all are

1150
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: Seattle getting a team back, of course, but the Vegas

1151
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 2: portion or anything.

1152
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I it is weird that if they if the

1153
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 4: Sonics left Seattle for the Thunder because they didn't like

1154
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 4: the arena in Seattle, and then they go back to the

1155
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 4: same arena, that will be weird. And if I were

1156
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 4: a Sonics fan, it would be like it would be

1157
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 4: a little bit bittersweet, right to be like, we lost

1158
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 4: our team, but now we got a team back. So

1159
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 4: that's that is strange to me. It does feel like

1160
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 4: they would need a state of the art arena Vegas.

1161
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 4: They're going to do it, no problem, But I think

1162
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 4: it's only a matter of time before expansion happens. Even

1163
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 4: if this is just kind of you know, eyeing expansion,

1164
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 4: like Lee said, it's a cash cop for all the

1165
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 4: other governors in the league, so they're certainly gonna want

1166
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 4: for it to happen just because you got to pay

1167
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 4: that huge chunk of change just to even get in

1168
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 4: the mixed.

1169
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: So we know the Seattle team, of course, would be

1170
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: named the Seattle SuperSonics. Any early ideas for the Las Vegas.

1171
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 7: Team, well just one thing though, but the Sonics wouldn't

1172
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 7: because their history is with Okay, see you no, I thought.

1173
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: No, they kept it. They kept it. It was like

1174
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: a part of the deal, you see, like, uh, they

1175
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 2: might you might see it on broadcast stuff. But I'm

1176
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: almost a positive that they because all the records they have,

1177
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: all the stuff like that.

1178
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 5: Well I hope, I hope that's true.

1179
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 7: I thought it was the other way because I thought

1180
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 7: you hear like, you know they've made the finals and stuff, when.

1181
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: That's that's incorrect.

1182
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 5: Okay, well that's good, that's good.

1183
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 6: I feel like Charlotte keeping the Hornets.

1184
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: But the history, you know, they went to the New Orleans. Yeah,

1185
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: and then they became a bobcat.

1186
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: That one gets really confused.

1187
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't even.

1188
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: What do you name it?

1189
00:51:59,040 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 5: Vegas?

1190
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 7: Well? Yeah, what's the what's a name you would team there?

1191
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 7: Las Vegas? Uh, well, heat has already been taken the

1192
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 7: La the Las Vegas dry because they're so dry out there.

1193
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 2: You want to see the drag, Well, you.

1194
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 5: Got the thunder, you got the heat, you got the sun.

1195
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 7: So you know my buddy Grish, you know, he hates

1196
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 7: it in Vegas when people go, oh it's a drag.

1197
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 5: Well, of course you came to Vegas, the desert exactly.

1198
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 2: So he built a city in the middle of the

1199
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 2: God did okay?

1200
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 7: Dry?

1201
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas dry? Can you do better than that? Yeah?

1202
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 3: I don't know what you come up with? What about

1203
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:54,959
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas lasts? Sue? I love alliteration. You could

1204
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 3: see a Maverick type logo. Yeah, guy with a last suit,

1205
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 3: you horse. Nobody's really don't love that. I don't love.

1206
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 4: Would they go what they go?

1207
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 5: Like?

1208
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 4: Gambling related? Casino relate?

1209
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 2: We got aces for w n B A.

1210
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good one. So not cool, very not cool.

1211
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 4: Towers the Toronto nearly name. There's a lot of towers

1212
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas.

1213
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: What other Las Vegas money?

1214
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 4: Money, It's called the money money when you hit a

1215
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 4: shot money. What's a good like a desert animal, like

1216

Speaker 2: name for the Las Vegas NBA team I just had.

1244
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 3: We can stay, it's a podcast, we can stick around.

1245
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: We could let me slip this in for our Canadian

1246
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,959
Speaker 2: fans out there, maybe Task. Okay, no one else will.

1247
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 2: Toronto's Sun, you've heard.

1248
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 3: Of it delivered its.

1249
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 2: NBA stars commit to Canada basketball for three years. Is

1250
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 2: this news? This is absolutely news. I think you would

1251
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 2: agree with me, Tasks.

1252
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 6: Sometimes the sun doesn't produce news, but that's true.

1253
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,720
Speaker 2: Good point. The senior men's national team, So Canada basketball

1254
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 2: here GM Rowan Barrett, who is father of RJ. Barrett,

1255
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 2: head coach Nick Nurse. What they did here on Tuesday,

1256
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 2: I think is potentially very big news and hopefully it

1257
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 2: started something special for Canada basketball, who's trying to get

1258
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 2: back to the Olympics for the first time since two

1259
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 2: thousand when I was in Australia watching them play, which

1260
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 2: is really bad. Yeah, but they have got a commitment here,

1261
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 2: like they're calling it a summer corps, committing three years

1262
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 2: these guys, and that is awesome because you know, you

1263
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 2: got to qualify and get all that, and you'll hopefully

1264
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: sort of have some familiarity and some just having straight

1265
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 2: up commitments that these guys are signed on to play

1266
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 2: for a while here. This list includes, by the way,

1267
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 2: Shake Gilds, Alexander, Jamal Murray, j Barrett, Dylan Brooks, Lou

1268
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: dort Oshae Brissett, Dwight Powell, Nikhil, Alexander Walker, Kembirch and others,

1269
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 2: Corey Joseph Kelly, o Linnok and all this. So they're

1270
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 2: signed on here for Feeble World Cup qualifying. You got

1271
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: next summer's Feble World Cup, and then in the summer

1272
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four the Paris Olympics, you know, hopefully

1273
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 2: as they try and get there. So I think this

1274
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 2: is this is obviously huge news and it's it. It's

1275
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 2: trying to fix the problem task of like with canad

1276
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 2: basketball at least, it's like we have all this talent

1277
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: in the NBA, but every time we got to get

1278
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 2: ready for one of these tournaments, like hey, hey, could

1279
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: you come play for us? Like any interest? Is your

1280
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 2: summer free? Could you come? Maybe give us four weeks

1281
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 2: and play with some guys maybe you don't know and

1282
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: maybe we'll get it. Like they're saying, hey, you are

1283
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 2: on the team, and this is the other thing, people

1284
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 2: are gonna be like, where's Wiggins, Where's Tristan Thompson. From

1285
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 2: what I can tell with this idea, Chris Bouchet, they

1286
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 2: could in theory play, but only if some of these commitments,

1287
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 2: these fourteen some an injury happens, they had to fall

1288
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: out for whatever reason, you know, things change of course

1289
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 2: over the span of three years, then maybe they could play.

1290
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: But the like, hey you're in the little ticket first

1291
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 2: is to these guys that actually are saying you have

1292
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 2: my word that for like the next couple of years.

1293
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 2: Here I'm in on this program. So I think this

1294
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: is really big news for Cannabastball.

1295
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 3: It is a wonderful three year commitment.

1296
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 6: Fourteen guys on that list, not just a very short list,

1297
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 6: but a pretty in depth list with a couple near

1298
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 6: All Stars and Shay Gilja, Alexander Jamal Murray. And then

1299
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 6: they just have to get their one All Star Andrew Wiggins,

1300
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 6: remember that he's at All Star. But yeah, those guys,

1301
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 6: those fourteen guys have priority. But Wiggins and Chris Bouchet

1302
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 6: could join. I don't know if anyone's asking for Tristan

1303
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 6: tom at this point, just kid, I mean Tristan to wonderful.

1304
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 6: Probably not, I mean he's in the latter part of

1305
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 6: his career, but a three year commitment. Jokes aside, Tristan

1306
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 6: Thompson jokes aside. This is a solid team.

1307
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 3: Again.

1308
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 6: I just mentioned the couple guys who are at that

1309
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 6: top of this list, but really good depth guys like

1310
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 6: Lou dort Down Brooks an ergy Bear. This team is stacked,

1311
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 6: isn't it so?

1312
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 7: Well?

1313
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be enough to make the Olympics. God, yeah, absolutely,

1314
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 2: you know metal who knows, don't worry about that? Get there?

1315
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 4: When do they actually try to qualify? That was a

1316
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 4: little confusing to me because in this it says Canada

1317
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 4: basketball will draw from its extensive non NBA pool during

1318
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 4: winter qualifying in November and February that's for I guess

1319
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 4: the FEBA Basketball World Cup qualifier, and then July first,

1320
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 4: they've got the Dominican Republic in Hamilton. July fourth they

1321
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 4: play in the US Yeah Islands.

1322
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's confusing because you can qualify and then not

1323
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: have to play in particular things and stuff like that.

1324
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact breakdown. I think the idea is,

1325
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: I guess these big names are yeah, there for the

1326
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 2: big tournaments the summer Islands. So you're right, there are

1327
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 2: other players in the system that are going to have

1328
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 2: to help them win some of these games, where not

1329
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: they're going to need them to qualify for some of

1330
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 2: these tournaments. But obviously this is better than not because

1331
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 2: it's hopefully getting rid of the hall, Like is that

1332
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 2: guy gonna player? Is he not going to play when

1333
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 2: they were struggling.

1334
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 4: We's got a lot of talent, but nobody knows how

1335
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 4: to play together. Just come and show up in the summer,

1336
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 4: so we have a little bit of continuity and a

1337
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 4: little bit of chemistry.

1338
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1339
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 7: And one thing as an Australian, what I love is

1340
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 7: seeing Joe and Paddy and Andrew Bogo when he played,

1341
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 7: and these guys always turning up for their country no

1342
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 7: matter what. And that to me is what has been

1343
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 7: missing from Canada in the last decade or longer. When

1344
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 7: guys are like, I'm sorry, I'm taking my summer off. Yeah,

1345
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 7: you should be really stoked to go and play in

1346
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 7: the Olympics especially and the World Cup for your country.

1347
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 7: And if they can get a lot of these star

1348
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 7: players to commit, I think that is going to encourage

1349
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 7: the other ones who were thinking about how to you like, yeah,

1350
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 7: I want to be a part of that.

1351
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1352
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 7: When Australia won the bronze last year in Tokyo, that's

1353
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 7: like huge moment for Australian men. I should say winning

1354
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 7: the bronze there huge moment for basketball because we've been

1355
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 7: competing and playing for decades, not being able to win

1356
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 7: and being close. So finally to break through that. Canada

1357
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 7: needs to be in these tournaments. It's not good enough

1358
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 7: that they're not there. So hopefully this is a change

1359
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 7: of things any.

1360
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 6: Other Yeah, I think it started. I think the prestige

1361
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 6: of this basketball organization has started. That's why you get

1362
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 6: these commitments. It's happening. I think they've done a good

1363
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 6: job these last few years. Rome Barrett, the Nick Nurse commitment,

1364
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 6: it's happening.

1365
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to catch up to what the women

1366
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 2: are doing. Very successful at that stage. Okay, we're to

1367
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: take our final break when we come back. Tk's got

1368
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 2: tweeted the Knight, So don't go anywhere. Okay, back here

1369
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 2: in the Classic Factory, it's time for tweet of the night.

1370
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night. Wowit a the night.

1371
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 4: It's me but before we get into sway the night,

1372
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 4: I thought about my Las Vegas team name Flamingos Vegas.

1373
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 4: Flamingos and a historic casino there in Las Vegas. Also

1374
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 4: a weird bird tall. I think it fits perfectly.

1375
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 3: Wants.

1376
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pink unis, that's very solid.

1377
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 3: That was nice. Pink is so hot right.

1378
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 4: Now, Pink, it's so hot right now. You see you

1379
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 4: see the influence.

1380
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1381
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 6: I wonder if there are any Flamingo's there though, because

1382
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 6: I went to I was just in Vegas and I

1383
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 6: said I would love to go. I forced my wife

1384
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 6: to go see the Flamingo habitat behind the Flamingo hotel.

1385
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 6: Not a single Flamingo, not a they're on vacation right now.

1386
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 4: Flies off with the one.

1387
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 3: I guess it was a winter but close enough.

1388
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 6: Anyways, there used to be there used to be a

1389
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 6: habitat back there behind the hotel, and I remember it

1390
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 6: as a young lad and I really liked it. Then

1391
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 6: going back years later, it's.

1392
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 3: Not that nice. That hotel has been there at forever,

1393
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 3: like nineteen forties. Yeah, anyways, historic, You're right, good.

1394
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 4: One, nice okay, so tweeted The night comes to us

1395
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 4: from an NBA player Joel embiid I ever heard of him? Yeah,

1396
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 4: he's good. Joel Troell and B tweeted last night as

1397
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 4: the Miami Heat, we're losing. Miami needs another star.

1398
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 5: What are you doing? Oh?

1399
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 4: Got the Philly fans fired up, got this Miami Heat

1400
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 4: fans fired up as well. But then he followed it up,

1401
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 4: Boston just has too many weapons. I wasn't just talking

1402
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 4: about the Heat. I'm just watching the game, to which

1403
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 4: he followed up once again. Okay, y'all are stupid l

1404
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 4: m a O for crying laughing emojis.

1405
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 7: You could misinterpret it tweet like that. Come on, he's

1406
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 7: full of of star. He was just a praising uh

1407
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 7: Jimmy Butler, how he loved playing with him. Now he's

1408
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 7: struggling and.

1409
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 5: Poor old Joel. It's just a simple tweet, completely exactly, exactly.

1410
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 3: Not wrong, though, No, I wonder if he's.

1411
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 5: Spoken to his front office talking.

1412
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 2: So there are some funny tweets I assume going back

1413
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 2: Joel's way.

1414
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 4: I saw the clutch points like with the quickness sent

1415
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 4: a tweet of Joel in a Heat jersey playing along

1416
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 4: side Jimmy Butler.

1417
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 2: How do they do it?

1418
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 4: How do they do it? They just got it ready.

1419
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 4: I think they just got it ready. Joel Embid is

1420
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 4: going to be a heat at some point.

1421
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 2: Wow, gir On t lock it in.

1422
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I would lock it in, especially once the Heat

1423
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 4: come up a little bit short. With the current version

1424
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 4: of the team they have here, maybe you put together

1425
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 4: an expiring Kyle Lowry contract play as last season in Philadelphia,

1426
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 4: bam out of Bio, a young star you can build around.

1427
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 4: Joel come to Miami. Everybody works hard, everybody wants to

1428
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,479
Speaker 4: be the man. Jesus, Yes, Shaq went to Miami, didn't

1429
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 4: he sure did? Oh? Interesting, all right?

1430
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 2: Game five Western Conference Finals tonight. Is it a gentleman sweep?

1431
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 2: That's the real question, Lee, What are you watching for

1432
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 2: in Game five fear between the Warriors and the MAVs.

1433
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 7: Did the Mavericks go to Golden State just for an

1434
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 7: end of season sort of trip?

1435
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: You know?

1436
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Are they like a last get together?

1437
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1438
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 7: Are they like, Hey, we didn't get swept, so you know,

1439
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 7: it doesn't really matter.

1440
01:03:58,720 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 5: That's the question for me.

1441
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 7: Did they im out and believe they can win, because

1442
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 7: as we saw there in Game four, they hit threes

1443
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 7: and they win the game. But to me, the Warriors

1444
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 7: also had a bit of a like we going home anyway,

1445
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 7: that's you know, and the vibe around the whole night

1446
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 7: wasn't there for them. So I would love it if

1447
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 7: the Mavericks could cause some chaos and get a win tonight.

1448
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 7: I would love it, but I don't think it's going

1449
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 7: to happen. I think the Warriors. Look, I think the

1450
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 7: Mavericks is going to play the same way. Just fire

1451
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 7: away from threes and if they hit them, maybe they're

1452
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 7: a chance. But if they're stinking the joint up, this

1453
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 7: one could be over very early.

1454
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 2: What do you think, tasor what are you watching for?

1455
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 5: Well?

1456
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 6: I think Jason Kid has some bulletin board material. Everybody

1457
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 6: is picking, you know, not only the Warriors for the series,

1458
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 6: but for this particular game. The Athletic Raiders did it

1459
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 6: top to bottom, every single one, so I think Jason

1460
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 6: Kidd likes to use that as motivation. I don't think

1461
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 6: the MAVs are going there just to hang out to

1462
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 6: be in uh San Fran one more or night. Because

1463
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 6: they impressed me in Game four and their fight level,

1464
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 6: so I the Warrior, you're gonna have to win this one.

1465
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 6: Mats aren't giving it away, but I do believe in

1466
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 6: I do believe the Warriors are going to get it

1467
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 6: done as well. But hopefully Ja Kid puts that Athletic

1468
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 6: article right on the bolletin board because I think I

1469
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 6: think anything can help right now, anything can help.

1470
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 2: Do you think when he puts it up, he goes,

1471
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 2: this is from the Athletic because anybody heard it.

1472
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,479
Speaker 3: The Athletic headquarters are right there.

1473
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 2: Trey, give me something to watch for game five tonight.

1474
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 4: You keep your eyes on the MAVs dribble penetration. They

1475
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 4: did well against the zone and man in game four.

1476
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 4: I like what Jason Kidd said afterwards. Nice thing about

1477
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 4: them playing zone is it means they can't guard us

1478
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 4: one on one. Oh bars from Jason Kidd. It's kind

1479
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 4: of true.

1480
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 7: Though.

1481
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,919
Speaker 4: They did a really good job I thought in game

1482
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 4: four of basically forcing the switch and making Steph Curry

1483
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 4: have to guard on the defensive end. They would bring

1484
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 4: it up, they would flip the guy at the last second,

1485
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 4: so Curry was trying to do a little help. Suddenly

1486
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 4: he has to actually be the guy guarding. And then,

1487
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 4: like we talked about yesterday's show, overload against the zone

1488
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,919
Speaker 4: was working. Now it feels like perhaps the Warriors found

1489
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 4: a solution to that in the fourth quarter. They started

1490
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 4: just basically playing a lot harder to take away the

1491
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 4: corner threes. But the MAVs getting into the paint got

1492
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 4: them a lot better looks from the three point line,

1493
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 4: so they got to score inside, they got to score

1494
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 4: from outside, they got to play a perfect game. We've

1495
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 4: seen it once basically from the MAVs so far, and

1496
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 4: even that was a harrowing fourth quarter. So we shall

1497
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 4: see how things play out tonight. I would be leaning Warriors.

1498
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I am also leaning Warriors. Top hats out, gentlemen sweep.

1499
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 2: But let's hear from everybody predictions. Drop me in the stream, team,

1500
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 2: leave them in the comments. Who's winning game five tonight?

1501
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow, will break it all down. We're

1502
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 2: back later to talk Survivor over on the No Buffs

1503
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,160
