2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: person than I have ever been in my life with

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: no effort.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: On my part.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Gonna tomorrow, I'm going to magically be able to do

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: things that I have never been able to do, like

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: make a schedule and see to it finish stuff.

8

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: I had no idea with which game to start with today.

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: I really did it. I think you can make a

30
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: fair case for all three of these, But in the end,

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: I wanted to rip the band aid off, cry our

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: tears and then move on to the joyous Bulls win

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: and the Celtics Nets game that we'll get to later.

34
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: So we'll start Tassie with Joel Embiid hitting a three

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: in overtime as the seventy six ers beat the Raps

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: for the dominant three to zero series. Leads your team,

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: says the guy that had them devouring the other team,

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: And well, I.

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 5: Had the devouring the nerve of this guy, nerve of you.

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: You're already but yea, with a monster three there with

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: about two and a half seconds to go in overtime.

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: He splashes it biggest shot of his career and the

43
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: Raps are in some trouble.

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you want to go back to the first

45
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: game the night I want to go back to earlier

46
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: this season, this is what should have happened with the

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: Toronto Raptors this season. Freddie All Star should have never

48
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 4: played in that All Star game. He should have pulled

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: a Jimmy Butler and said no, thank you, because ever

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: since that game he hasn't been right. Gordan Dragits should

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: have been convinced to be on this team. Do you

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: see that slog of an offense yesterday? See him for

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 4: the nets yesterday? He would have helped out so much.

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: That guy is scoring like crazy over there. And what

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: is Mark Gasol doing in Spain tending to tomatoes making

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: sure they're not bruised. He should be taking bruises from

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: Joel Embiid in the lane. Let's get to Joel Embiid.

58
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: This was, yeah, the greatest shot of his career thirty

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: three and thirteen. He brought this team back because this

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 4: Raptors team won this game in the first half and

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: it felt like, you know, they obviously punched the Sixers first,

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: and it felt like they were going to win this game.

63
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: I'm about to cry some tears over here. And b

64
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: came back and Bean's third quarter was obviously phenomenal, but

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: then he showed the whole arsenal at the end because

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: the Raps didn't put their foot on the throat of

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: the sixers. You saw some amazing and beat shots that

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: spin at the free throw line in ot That was

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: a key esque, just the dexterity of that dude, the footwork,

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: the big block on og earlier in the game, the

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: big jam, and the third people want to talk about,

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: obviously the game winner, and that there was no inbounder

73
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: in front of Danny Green, which was kind of odd.

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: So Danny Green an easy pass, there's no obstacle in

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: the way to give it to Joel Embiid. And that

76
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 4: was strange because there was a miscommunication because Fred van

77
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 4: Vliet went to go be in front of the inbounder

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: like every other time and him bound happens, but Nick

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: Nurse said, no, no, get under the rim. There's point

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: nine seconds left, so that's just where you should go

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: because we don't want to lob Obviously, an incredible shot

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: by a seven footer. And I don't care if Doc

83
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: Rivers came across the mid court line to call for

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: a time out. If the reps can hear him, I

85
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: think he should be able to go wherever he wants.

86
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: I don't care if there's a coach's box, is that

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 4: how you want to win the game? Toronto Raptors fans

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: a coach getting called for a technical foul, f that noise.

89
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: They lost the game earlier. Of course, people are going

90
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: to point at a Chow has missed two big free

91
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: throws with twenty five seconds left in regulation, but he

92
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 4: had a great game twenty points, nine of eleven. If

93
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 4: you want to be at Raptors optimist, yong Achua showing

94
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: out in a playoff game against the beat gotta be

95
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: happy about that, or people point to og In Andy'll

96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: be missing that free throw at the end of overtime.

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: But come on, let's be an optimist. Twenty eight points.

98
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: Great game for og Where they lost this game was

99
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: Fred going back to his second half of the season.

100
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: He had three shots in this game. He only had

101
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: twelve points in Pascal Siakam. If he's an All NBA player,

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: he hasn't been that in the first three games, and

103
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: obviously in the second half of game number three here

104
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: he had twelve points at half and he didn't score

105
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: in the second half. The Raps played a great game,

106
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 4: but they needed their stars to be star like Fred's

107
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: kind of got an excuse, but he was getting beat

108
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: up on the defensive end to the knee obviously is

109
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: not helping their tyers Max. He's blowing by him, and

110
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: Siakam just wasn't himself. So I think that's where they

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: lost the game, and he just stole it at the end.

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: And I don't feel I don't feel terrible about it

113
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: because it's it's like the Raptors didn't play their best

114
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: game and the Reps just weren't there in the end.

115
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: Skeet's not sure how you feel about emb doing that,

116
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: but he was the best player, so I didn't mind

117
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: seeing that dagger of a shot in a way.

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: Like you said, he did all the work there. In

119
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: the third quarter, he had that twelve point burst and

120
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: it got them back in the game. The Raptors outplayed

121
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: the Sixers in the first half. It was nice to

122
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: see on the what first Philly possession, they actually doubled

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: and beat on the block, They forced a turnover, They

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: created a lot of turnovers in this game. They did

125
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: speed up and beat at times, but as the game

126
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: went on, Yeah, he just he just showed like the

127
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: difference maker of having a guy that's playing at an

128
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: elite level, and he's playing at an MVP level of course,

129
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: over the last two seasons here, he just took over

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: the game, absolutely took it over. And then they're right

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: back into it, and yeah, they hit that huge shot,

132
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: huge three. What a weird whole sequence there where you

133
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: know they have a shot there, it's tied. I guess

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: it's precious right that pokes the ball out. It goes

135
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: basically right to half court and then the whole dock

136
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: running over to scream time out. I mean, he saved it.

137
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: He really saved to who who knows, like what happens

138
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: if it goes double overtime whenever, who wins and stuff

139
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: like that, But like just to give them a chance.

140
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: Hell of a call by Doc. You know, we shot

141
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: on him all the time. We you know, are always

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: perplexed with some of his decisions. He's blown three one leads,

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: so now he can blow a three zero lead. I'm

144
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: excited about that. But it was just amazing he gave

145
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: him a chance and then the play call there. Tobias

146
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: Harris says he set the greatest pick of his life.

147
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: He wants the credit for the shot. That's like me

148
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: and our pickup runs when I when I set a

149
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: good pick for Trey Kirby to score, running into the

150
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: lay of like, hey, give me some credit for that

151
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: big pick there, But yeah, what amy he has splashed

152
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: it too. I mean it wasn't lucky, there's nothing just that.

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: It's amazing to see a seven footer just smoothly turn

154
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: around and basically in a second knock that down. So yeah,

155
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: I didn't love his celebration. I think Trey pointed out

156
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: on Twitter turn it into a little Reggie Miller with

157
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: the spin jumps. But had to feel goodly like exercising

158
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: some demons, of course, having lost a game seven there

159
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: in that barn before, and you know, now they'll see

160
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: if they can close it out here.

161
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, embiid obviously great. And I think he actually is

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: embracing the physicality because the Raptors are trying to sort

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: of just give him as many bodies and as much

164
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 5: attention physically as they can, and he's he's enjoying it,

165
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: and that's great. That's what you want him to see

166
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 5: is basically like these guys, not one person can slow

167
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: me down. A couple of guys make it harder for me.

168
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: But he's still too big and strong, and he's pretty

169
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 5: agile as well when he gets inside there, So that's great.

170
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 5: As for the Raptors, I thought their offensive execution in

171
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter and overtime is awful. I thought they

172
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: were just horrible. What were they were? Why was everyone

173
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 5: in love with the right wing three pointer? Og had

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: a couple out there, Fred had one, I think, Precious

175
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: I believe had one as well, and they were missing

176
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: by a mile. But it was also like they were

177
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 5: eating clock. The ball wasn't moving around, and then it

178
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: was just like, okay, whoever's got it with three seconds

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 5: to go, fire away here. Og hit a three in

180
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: overtime that was a lucky one as the clock ran out.

181
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: But other than that, that's where I sort of felt

182
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: the Raptors let this game go. I mean, you know,

183
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: obviously Embiid was the star here, but the Raptors didn't

184
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 5: put any pressure on that defense of Philadelphia. They just

185
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: sort of stood around. So Nick Nurse has to take

186
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: some of the blame for that. But also it's on

187
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: the players. It's on Fred, It's on Pascal to be like,

188
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: all right, we have to move and create something and

189
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 5: take better shots than just guys firing away from deep.

190
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: So that was a disappointing loss here for the Raptors. Obviously,

191
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 5: now the series is you know, virtually over mathematically. The

192
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 5: Raptors are still in it, of course, but they can't

193
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: just continue to do this. In Game two, they started

194
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: off better, you know, played a better sort of twelve

195
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 5: to fifteen minutes. This game, they played better for at

196
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: least three quarters, but winning time came in the fourth

197
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 5: quarter and overtime, and the Raptors were very, very bad

198
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: executing at both ends of the floor.

199
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, your best player can't take five shots, miss them all,

200
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: not get to the free throw line in the final

201
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: what thirty minutes basically of the game I'm talking about

202
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: in an elimination game at that really effectively an elimination game.

203
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: He was he was horrible. I think Zach Harper had

204
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: a tweet. I couldn't agree with it more. It looked

205
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: like was dribbling a football. Yeah hand it was so

206
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: we I mean again, and I've gotne to bat for

207
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 3: this guy for months here on the show, I was saying,

208
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: he is All NBA, he's deserving of an All NBA selection,

209
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: But task you're right, he hasn't played like that. In

210
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: these last three games, especially not in the second half

211
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: last night. And I went back again this morning because

212
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: I don't know why I wanted to do it to myself,

213
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: but I watched all of his takes, all of his misses,

214
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: you know, and in the second half especially, they just

215
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: you can just play so far back up off him

216
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: and he will. He was settling. I mean, it was

217
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: an open look, but he just couldn't even come close

218
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: to hitting it around the free throw line. That's all

219
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: they did. They're like, he couldn't go by Danny Green,

220
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: he couldn't go by Shake Milton because his handle was

221
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: sloppy as shit, and then embead on him or Tobias.

222
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: They just sort of would back up, go ahead, take

223
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 3: that little jumper there around the free throw line. And

224
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: it was clank city. So just a brutal game from him.

225
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: Og played well, Precious played really well. Gary Trent Junior

226
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: played all right, you know, coming back from the ships

227
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: or whatever he had going on and was hitting shots.

228
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: But your star players in Fred and Siakam, I mean,

229
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: it's amazing they're almost in this game.

230
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, Test nailed it.

231
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 7: The role players played perfectly fine for the Raptors last night.

232
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 7: Getting twenty six from og He's been consistent in these

233
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 7: games so far. But twenty four points combined from Fred

234
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 7: Van Vliet and Pascal Siakam that ain't gonna cut it

235
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 7: against the Sixers team that is obviously motivated against the Raptors.

236
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 7: I think Embiid has this has had this series circled

237
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 7: since probably about twenty nineteen. That's why you hear him

238
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 7: kind of calling out Nick Nurse after every single game

239
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 7: you were complaining about the foul calls. Nothing to worry

240
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 7: about in this one, is what he said. That was

241
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 7: impressive to see the Sixers pull that win off after

242
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 7: not leading at all in regulation. Their first lead wasn't

243
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 7: until overtime, a clutch time out by Doc Rivers. And

244
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 7: then like you're saying, skeets Embiid with a lightning quick

245
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 7: release to be able to get that shot off, and

246
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 7: like they went to the replay and he probably could

247
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 7: have gotten that off if it was zero point four

248
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 7: seconds on the clock.

249
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 6: You got it off so quick. A great call, And.

250
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe a little bit too cutesy from Nick Nurse

251
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 7: there to call Freddie away from guarding the ball on

252
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 7: the inbounds play, because even Van Vliet was like, Okay,

253
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 7: I'll just run to the back here. Suddenly you see

254
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 7: Embiid flash into the wing money.

255
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 3: Also, I mean, why is it even Van Vliet if

256
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: that's the case, Like, if you're going to protect the rim,

257
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: I can think of some other guys on the Raptors.

258
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 3: They made one under there, and then even if you're

259
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: going to like try and prevent an easy pass in

260
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: on the inbounds, probably you go with someone else a

261
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: little bigger task than Van Vleet.

262
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was strange to see he was under

263
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: the rim and he ended up being the closest guy

264
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: to Embiid on the release, which was wild because yeah,

265
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 4: Toby set the pick of his life screen assist to

266
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: mister Toby. But Embiid had a practice shot at the

267
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: end of regulation. He shot that same shot, same spot

268
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: and then was able five minutes later to score. I

269
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: thought Tobias Harris rebounded the first one at the end

270
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 4: of regulation and missed a dinker four foot hook shot

271
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: that looked like that should have go on down. He

272
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: had a really, really good game, but it was Yeah,

273
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: the rap Stars not showing It was odd because Pascal

274
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: Siakam had the most field goals. Through the first half

275
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: of this game, he had six made shots, and it

276
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: looked like Pascal like, yeah, they were dropping off him,

277
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: but he was getting again.

278
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: I watched them again. Like I said, he was getting

279
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 3: so much deeper in the first half, like two or

280
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 3: three feet into the paint, then was hitting it, and

281
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 3: then again the second half. For whatever reason, the way

282
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: the Sixers started to play them, I don't know what

283
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 3: it was, but they were like out of the paint.

284
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 3: They were like past the free throw line. That was

285
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: the one difference that I noticed test just otherwise the

286
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: shot wasn't falling.

287
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I have flashbacks, so that one right at

288
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 4: the free throw line that you know, as time was

289
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: ticking down in the fourth where he just clanked it,

290
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: and hard not to have flashbacks of the bubble and

291
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: things not going too well for Pascal as the number

292
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: one guy. I mean, this series just didn't start well.

293
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: And that's that's why every game does matter, because yeah, yeah, anyway,

294
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: wild wild stoff from the Raps quote unquote stars, because yeah,

295
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: the second half just hasn't been good to Fred and

296
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: second half of this game wasn't good for either guy.

297
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look Raptors fans have, you know, they can't

298
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: be upset about a bad whistle at all. Last night,

299
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: If anything, I thought the Raptors were getting a majority

300
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: of like some of the like fifty to fifty calls. Okay,

301
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: there was the sixth as well. Well, yeah, the foul

302
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: out on hard and narrow, I mean that was that

303
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: was the one that put Og to the line right

304
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: where if he hits too they take the leady wasn't

305
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: a foul, so they got that. There was the Og

306
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: block goal tend on the hard and layup like with

307
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: one fifteen left. The only thing I hate about that

308
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: is like it's such like a the refs just call

309
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: it a goal tend just so they can go look

310
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: at it. And that one was so clear. It looked

311
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: like they're like, okay, we're gonna play, and then they're like, oh,

312
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: hold on, maybe let's just call it a goaltend so

313
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: we can go have a couple of looks at it,

314
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 3: and then ultimately they kept it a goal tend. That

315
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: would I mean, so so close.

316
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: What I do you judge whether a finger going down

317
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: or not?

318
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

319
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: Crazy, That's that's the weirdest. It's a difficult. Obviously, it's

320
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 4: like it comes out of his hand and it's on

321
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: the way down because he's right at the rim. It's

322
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: an impossible call. But I guess it's the fricking right one.

323
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean again, I just hate that. It's

324
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: like the get out of jail free card that they

325
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: play because they're like I because it looks like they

326
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: weren't in a call ay there, and their brain goes, well,

327
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: fuck it, call it because we can look at it seriously.

328
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: And because the sixers were jumping up and down yeah.

329
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, right right, And but otherwise, I mean again, I

330
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: want to make it very clear they did. The Raps

331
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: are not losing this game because of like some conspiracy

332
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: against them and the officials are all over them and

333
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: be living at the like, no, not at all. I'm

334
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: not sure if you agree with that, Lee, I assume

335
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: you do.

336
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 5: I do. I hate referee talk because they've been outplayed

337
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: the Raptors. They've been out played through three games. Joe

338
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 5: El Embiid has basically said all right, I am gonna

339
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 5: make you guys found me. And he's doing that, and

340
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: the Raptors don't really have any option because if you

341
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 5: try to play him straight up, he's just going to

342
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: get those little mid rangers, so you have to sort

343
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 5: of try to send into the line and get physical

344
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: with him, and it's like, okay, this is fine, this

345
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 5: is working. So the refs have not done anything to

346
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: influence a series that goaltend. I don't love that call

347
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 5: because I don't think it was even on review. I

348
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: don't think it was. I mean, as far as I

349
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 5: understand the rule, it's got to clearly be on its

350
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: way down, and it wasn't clearly on its way down

351
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 5: even on the review. Anyway, they made the call. The

352
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: Raptors lost, and honestly, they have to look in the mirror,

353
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 5: as I said earlier, at how they execute in the

354
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. Okay, if Pascal has not got it, that's fine,

355
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: but the ball still has to move. That's my problem

356
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: is I hate it when teams offense just gets so

357
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: stagnant and it's like this. You see the shot clock

358
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: down to seven six and the guy's just like, all right,

359
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: I got it. I'm just going to shoot and hope,

360
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 5: and that's not a way to win close games.

361
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: If Goran drags is there, they win their skime. He's

362
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: at sixteen and eighteen through the first two games with

363
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,239
Speaker 4: the nets, like, at least.

364
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: He's going to drive anyway, he's going to drive, I think,

365
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: rather than just what you're getting out of the Raptors

366
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 5: at the moment.

367
00:16:53,200 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they have game more and practice your

368
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: free throws, kid, you had to have set it out practice.

369
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 5: I had a tweet in the can ready practice your

370
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 5: expensive throws kids, because Precious only needs to hit one

371
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: and og you should have hit that one as well.

372
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: But you had the tweet in the cannon said practice

373
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 3: your expensive.

374
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 5: Ones, practice your expensive expensive throws kids. I just didn't

375
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 5: feel it good.

376
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: Idea, Just any other notes from this one? How about

377
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: angry Danny Green there in the first half hard and

378
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 3: grabbing him by the neck relaxed.

379
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 5: Danny and uh and Maxie as well, Like I thought

380
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 5: they were going to start fighting him. He's so upset.

381
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: I ever got a good replay at that? Did we

382
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: like what really got him so pissed off?

383
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: Test?

384
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: Did they ever really show us on the broadcast? Like

385
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: what snap there?

386
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 4: And Danny? It wasn't a weird one because yeah he

387
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: was mad at the call. He didn't think he felt

388
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 4: him and I kind of agree. I think there was

389
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: a quick replay. I think the actually his teammates trying

390
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 4: to calm him down made it worse. They they they

391
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, brought attention to it. I don't think.

392
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: I don't think the ref was gonna call anything until

393
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: uh Tyres and uh and it was the other guy, Harden,

394
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 4: you tried to calm him down. They're they're they brought

395
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 4: attention to it. I think, trying to calm down their

396
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 4: bro They were and more animated, just as animated, I

397
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 4: guess as Danny. But it was weird to see uh

398
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 4: oh three time champ get furious. Never seen that before.

399
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 3: I was having uh brad Wanamaker flashbacks with George Niang.

400
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that guy played felt guy. It felt

401
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: like he played ninety seconds and he hit like three three,

402
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: So it's like, god, damn it. Not the egh and Max.

403
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: He didn't have as great as game as he did

404
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: in obviously games one and two, but I thought, you know,

405
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: I think he scored right at the start of overtime,

406
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, picked his spots perfectly. Not a bad game

407
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: by any means, like his his kids. For real, man,

408
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: he's contributing here in a playoff series. Three games in

409
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: a row now and they needed every point from Umblie.

410
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

411
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's a thing. You don't expect him

412
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 5: to have the thirty eight that he had in Game

413
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: one every single night, but he's not afraid of the moment.

414
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 5: And again, his speed really gives him an advantage because

415
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 5: no one can stop him, so he's in the lane

416
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 5: in a flash, and then he's a good finish around

417
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 5: the rim. But he can also find if you've got

418
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 5: you know, those guys on the perimeter knocking down shots,

419
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 5: then it's great if it is the Nyang Gang Bang

420
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 5: or if it's Nanny Green someone hitting shots.

421
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: So he's good.

422
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 5: I'm a big, big fan of Tyres Maxie. I think

423
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: he's going to be a good player.

424
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 2: We'll say.

425
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: I thought Nurses move of taking less guys or putting

426
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: less guys on Hard and playing him one on one helped.

427
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: You know, Hard had some good baskets and he scored

428
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: nineteen and he kind of buoyed the team in the

429
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 4: second quarter there for a bit. But I thought it

430
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 4: did help. And yeah, rather than Maxi's thirty five, they

431
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: each went for nineteen, and there was a little bit

432
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: more attention on Tyres Maxi. Yeah, I when it comes

433
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 4: out to a trees raid, I mean free throws blah blah.

434
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: For sure. I mean that's and OG's toilet bowl. Uh,

435
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 4: I mean that that went in and out, Rachel. That

436
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: was not a Gary Trent diarrhea. That was I was

437
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 4: not going down the toilet.

438
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: I will say too in overtime. Maybe this is something

439
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: we're gonna see here more because you know, a desperation

440
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: Game four, there was a couple possessions where Og was

441
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: on Maxi Precious on Embiid of course, and the switch

442
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 3: would come and so then that's really Og on Embiid

443
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: and Precious sort of like trying to move his feet

444
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: with Maxie if it would go back to him.

445
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 4: And it worked.

446
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, they they switched that Og on Embiid

447
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: and they and they got two stops there in overtime.

448
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: Obviously didn't matter in the end, but maybe something to

449
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: watch in Game four. No team in NBA history has

450
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: ever lost a series after building the three to lead.

451
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: You're going to see that over the next couple of days.

452
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: But uh, what do you think lead Gentleman is a

453
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: gentleman sweep more likely? Or is this is this like

454
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 3: Embiide was telling Drake it's an actual sweep.

455
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 5: Well, it's never happened, so it's gonna have to happen.

456
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 5: You can't come back from three, I dan, without being

457
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: three to zero. So maybe, I mean, no one saw

458
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 5: when the Red Sox came back against the Yankees in

459
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 5: four and came back, and you know, so it can happen.

460
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 5: But no, I mean, you know, the class of mb'd

461
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: especially is really standing out and a credit to Philadelphia.

462
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: I'm not walking away from my prediction where I said

463
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: I thought the Raptors would devour it because I thought

464
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 5: they would, And I'm not making any excuses for the

465
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 5: injuries either. The Raptors just have not been good. Philadelphia

466
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: has been much better and certainly deserving of this three

467
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 5: to zero lead. Yes, the Raptors, maybe they do get

468
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 5: the Game four consolation prize here, but very difficult to

469
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 5: see them coming back, of course and winning this series

470
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 5: historically statistically has never happened and unlikely to occur here.

471
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of injuries there, I think I heard this

472
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 3: Raider saw this right on Twitter. Was nurse sing basically

473
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 3: Scuttie Burnes is going to be playing in Game four?

474
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: Did I have that information correct? And is that the

475
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: wise move I asked you task, Like, even if you

476
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: can go, should you be bringing him back at this point?

477
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: Down three to zero and your chance is extremely slim? Like,

478
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 3: what do you think do it?

479
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: Play?

480
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: Why the heck not?

481
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: What's What's I mean? It is crazy to see a

482
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 4: guy in a walking boot on the sideline and then

483
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: the next game Saturday night, Yeah, lace him up, kid,

484
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I mean, I'm not a doctor.

485
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 4: I trust the doctors would wouldn't throw him out there

486
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: if he wasn't Okay, I mean they they could just

487
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 4: they obviously could use the every four possessions. He's the

488
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 4: guy who's creating, don't you think, I mean obviously why?

489
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: But why?

490
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 4: Like the the worry is he's gonna get injured again?

491
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, that would be the main concern. You'd

492
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: basically be playing him in sort of a pointless game,

493
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: I guess is what I'm getting out here. If you

494
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 3: truly look, unless you you're likely and you believe it's

495
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 3: got to happen at some point in the history, And

496
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: why not us damn it?

497
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 4: Six months to chill kids.

498
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 3: Okay, hey, Lee my wraps in seven prediction.

499
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: It's technically it's mathematically alive. I think it was the

500
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 5: MAVs and the Blazers in about two thousand and four

501
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 5: when the Maps are up three to zero and then

502
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 5: the Blazer came back to make it three to three,

503
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: and then the Maps prevailed. So you know, you just

504
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 5: want that hope at least, you know, that's all you're

505
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: looking for.

506
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: We'll start with game four. But the way and beat

507
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: is you know, you know, putting his imprint on this series,

508
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: and how much, how badly you can tell he does

509
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: want to beat the Raptors for what happened in nineteen

510
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 3: shut up three? Yeah, for sure, for sure. So we'll

511
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 3: see what happens on Saturday. I think that's a d game.

512
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: They're on Saturday. My only other note and tasks. I know,

513
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: I know you probably have an opinion on this too.

514
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: It drives me insane how empty the Lower Bowl is

515
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: at the start of every third quarter for Raptors game.

516
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 4: It angers me, Tess.

517
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: I can't stand how empty it is every single fucking

518
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: time in the regular season. Sure, okay, we'll get back,

519
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 3: you know, four or five minutes in a third it's

520
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: the playoff game is a must in this is do

521
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: or Dies You're a complete season here, and people, for

522
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: whatever reason, kid get back to their seats, and I

523
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 3: swear it has an impact on the team. It's just

524
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 3: it's so dead and flat in there, and the other team,

525
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: like like the Sixers last night, they suddenly back in

526
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: the game and they erase a ten point of it.

527
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: Just like that drives me nuts.

528
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: I can get pissed too.

529
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

530
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was actually Game two for the Heat. Nobody

531
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 4: showed up at the beginning of the game. Right at

532
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 4: the beginning of the game, I was gonna tweet something

533
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: about it. It's smart that they put the white T

534
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 4: shirts out there on the seats because it looks like

535
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 4: fans are in there, but you know they did arrive

536
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 4: a few minutes late, just like the Raptors crowd there

537
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: in the third quarter. It is annoying. And then last

538
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: night watching the Bulls Bucks, some guy came back. There

539
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: was a close up of break in play full beer

540
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: sloshing around. Play starts and he tries to get to

541
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: his seat and everybody has to get up and can't

542
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 4: watch the game because this dude who could very likely

543
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: spill a beer on somebody because there's no caps I

544
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 4: guess for the executive seat there on the piers also

545
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: forces you to get up so you can't see. And

546
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 4: their bucket was splashed, Like wait, just wait, just wait,

547
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: like a bowler, like a bowler who's got to step up,

548
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: and bowler, a golfer who's got to step up and

549
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: hit the ball. Just wait a freaky second, you know,

550
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: or a tent or a serf. Just chill for a second. Sit,

551
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: just sit on the on the stairs for like five seconds.

552
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 4: That's what I think. That's where I do. But I'm

553
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: a little too courteous.

554
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's move to that to the Bulls game.

555
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: This will be a lot more fun here. Lift our spirits,

556
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: DeRozan baby eyes for a raptor. I love it, scoring

557
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: forty one droze of forty one as the Bulls hang

558
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: on to beat the Bucks one fourteen and tie this

559
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: series up. Trey Kirby, take it away, man, my.

560
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 6: Sweet beautiful Bulls.

561
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 4: They really did it.

562
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 7: They beat the Bucks with Giannis in Milwaukee in the playoffs.

563
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 7: They said it couldn't be done. I don't know it's

564
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 7: gonna stick, but I'm calling Game two the no way

565
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: in hell game, because after Game one, tomarros And said

566
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 7: there's no way in hell I shoot six for twenty

567
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 7: five again, and he did forty one points for tomorrow

568
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 7: career playoff high, sixteen of thirty one from the field,

569
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 7: joining Michael Jordan, Derrick Rose, Ben Gordon, An.

570
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 4: Old Flynn, Robin Robinson.

571
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 6: They said it on the broadcast last night. I was

572
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 6: like Glenn Robinson, when did he ever play for the Bulls?

573
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: It was Flynn.

574
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 7: Only guys that have forty or more in a playoff game.

575
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 7: He did a lot of that damage in the second half,

576
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 7: scoring twenty four on ten of nineteen shooting.

577
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 6: And the interesting thing about that he.

578
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 7: Was being guarded by Giannis Antetokounmpo for a large chunk

579
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 7: of this one. According to ESPN Stats and Info, dMar

580
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 7: went eight of nine for sixteen points with Giannis as

581
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 7: his primary defender. And we've said it before talking about

582
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 7: this series, he was always gonna have to come up

583
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 7: big in the fourth quarter for the Bulls to pull

584
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 7: off a win. And it was MVP mode last night.

585
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 7: With two thirty left, Bulls up by five, DeRozan finds

586
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 7: sweet Vucci baby for a clutch three pointer. Bucks go

587
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 7: down and score. Bulls are up seven. With a minute

588
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 7: thirty left. DeRozan gets to the line, makes us two

589
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 7: free throws. Brook Lopez, of course, scores a couple of

590
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 7: more times. I thought he was gonna pull this one

591
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 7: out for the pups once again cuts the Bulls lead

592
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 7: to three. Biggest possession of the game, fifty five seconds left,

593
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 7: Bulls ball. DeRozan misses a tough mid ranger, tipped out

594
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 7: by Alex Caruso. There's five Carusos out there. He was

595
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 7: incredible in this game. The ball gets to Patrick Williams

596
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 7: wide open three pointer, shoots it to the moon, misses

597
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 7: but tipped out by Sweet Vucci. Baby DeRozan attacks the hoop,

598
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 7: finishes over Jannis to go up.

599
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 6: Five ball game Bulls game.

600
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 7: First win over Janni since twenty seventeen, first win in

601
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 7: Milwaukee since twenty seventeen, first playoff wins since twenty seventeen,

602
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 7: and now the series has tied one to one. Heading

603
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 7: to Chicago for a pivotal, pivotal Game three. I could

604
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 7: barely sleep last night. I was so hyped up. I

605
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: sat down in this office, I turned on my ring light,

606
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 7: and I was like, should I do it? Should I

607
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 7: go live right now?

608
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: Oh? You should have? Yeah?

609
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, Laura was sleeping, like directly above me. The entire

610
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 7: house was a slumber. I didn't want to be a

611
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 7: ranting and raven like a maniac. But what a game,

612
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 7: What a game to see, you know, if it's only

613
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 7: one win, it was a cool one.

614
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: Wow.

615
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: Well hold on, I mean, you know, the Bucks lose

616
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: this game there on Wednesday, but even worse than that,

617
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: they lose possibly two key players in the process. Here

618
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: early in the fourth quarter, Middleton exits the game with

619
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: left knee soreness after he slips awkwardly there in the

620
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: middle of a spin spin move in the post. He's

621
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: got a spring mcl Bucks came out and said that

622
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: right away. He's undergoing an MRI today. We'll see, you

623
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: know how severe it is. So that's huge because he

624
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: started getting going in the second half too. That was

625
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: a full Farris Wheel experience. Oh yeah, it was low,

626
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: then it was high, and then it was broken unfortunately

627
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: for him. We'll see what happens moving forward in the series.

628
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: And then Bobby Portis of course leaving the game too

629
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: at halftime after taking a shot in the eye there

630
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: in the first quarter of blood going everywhere. I think

631
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: he is going to play in Chicago. But the Middleton

632
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: is massively of course, not just for that game last night.

633
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: You know, maybe he plays, maybe they pull it off

634
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: and complete the comeback, but if he's out for games here,

635
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: this is a series I think between these two.

636
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 5: Teams and the absolutely it is. I mean, Chris Milton

637
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 5: is huge for this team. He has been a massive

638
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: playoff performer. He's had a few duds in there, but

639
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 5: overall he's had way better, bigger performances than bad games.

640
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 5: So they're desperately going to miss him depending on how

641
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: long he's out for there. But the only thing is,

642
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 5: I guess the Bucks have done this before where they

643
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 5: tend to start off slowly and look, maybe they overlook

644
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: the Chicago Bulls a little bit. I think that's probably

645
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 5: fair to assume they like they can't really stop us.

646
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 5: Everyone was healthy going into the start of this series,

647
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: and now they're behind, I expect. I mean Yannis has

648
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 5: been good, you know, he had another monster game there

649
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: last night. They're not really getting anything else from apart

650
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 5: from Brook Lopez, from anybody else really. Drew Holliday and

651
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: I don't think has been very good for them, and

652
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 5: the bench isn't giving them all that much. I think

653
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: Connerton gave them the sort of best thing last night,

654
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 5: but even that he finished only three points. Felt like

655
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 5: had a bit more than that, but he didn't. So

656
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 5: we's Matthews isn't really doing anything for them. So everything right.

657
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: Now is really shall Man.

658
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, they are very shallow, very shallow. And then on

659
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: the other end, I mean Vucci, he had to make

660
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 5: himself important in this series and he's had twenty four

661
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: in both games and he's just been, you know, batting

662
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: the ball out and trying to do what he can.

663
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 5: That's huge, I think for Chicago because DeRozan's performance last night,

664
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 5: as Trey mentioned there, the most impressive part was Yanna said, hey,

665
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 5: all right, I'll get on this guy, and Deroz's like, okay, great,

666
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 5: and he just kept stepping into those mid rangers knocking

667
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 5: them down. It was Gus Johnson on the call there.

668
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: He was loving it, and I was loving his calls.

669
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 5: Frozen honestly about a thousand. You know, usually the guy's

670
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: like red hard, he's heating up. Instead it was colder

671
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 5: and colder and colder. He is cold bladder out there.

672
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: So this is huge.

673
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: Ultimately, of course, I still think the Bucks win this

674
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 5: series even if Middleton can't go. But certainly this should

675
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 5: be the wake up call that perhaps Milwaukee needed, because again,

676
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: even Game one they kind of had to pull it

677
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 5: out in the end. They didn't play their best basketball,

678
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: and that's just something that they do. They start off slowly.

679
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 5: They started off slowly against the Brooklyn Nets. Last season,

680
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 5: they started off slowly in the bubble, remember against the

681
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 5: Orlando So you know, this is a sort of team

682
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: that's like sometimes just needs to maybe almost lose one

683
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: to be like, all right now we've got to lock in.

684
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 5: So fascinated to see though, what happens here in Game three,

685
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: because I think the Madhouse on Madison is going to

686
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 5: be crazy. I just hope, I hope whatever happens, we

687
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 5: get a Trey Kirby Chuck Swirsky dance postgame.

688
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: In Oh yeah, okay, So Trey, Trey, you're flying later today,

689
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: right in a couple hours, flaying to Chicago. Okay, and

690
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: so Game three that's a Friday night, is that correct? Yeah? Wow?

691
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: All right, believe man's gotta believe. Why the heck not?

692
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, the Bucks last year they go and

693
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: win the thing, they basically lose every game one other

694
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: than the you know slog of a game one in

695
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: the first round. So yes, they get better as the

696
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: series go on. But you know, it took a couple

697
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 4: of miracles there the Conference finals, Jihanis went out, and

698
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: so that's the prototype, the template. Yiannis went out. Somehow

699
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: Drew Brooke Middleton got it together. And so even if

700
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 4: Middleton goes down, who is a really really important player

701
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: for them, they have the tools to do it. It's

702
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: kind of got to be on Drew. They kind of

703
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 4: have to need a perimeter guy to make this happen.

704
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: But but, but, but but let's say we got a

705
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: smoking hot Damar again. It was. It was awesome to

706
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 4: see Damar in his best season in the NBA, year

707
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: number thirteen, have his best playoff game in the NBA.

708
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 4: And I think it kind of makes sense against this

709
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 4: Bucks team because they want to drop every time they

710
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: want to guard that rim, the mid range is open

711
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: and him, Yeah, sizing up Yannis was awesome for him.

712
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: He was sizing him up and just getting into his

713
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: move and sometimes he would hit that shot and fall

714
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 4: to the fall to the floor, not get a call,

715
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 4: but the ball was just going in so this Bucks

716
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: team is a good match for him if he stays

717
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: hot and everybody just falls in line behind him. Yeah,

718
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: if Middleton's not there. It took the It took the

719
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 4: Bucks a while to click last postseason. I know, like

720
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: first round they beat the Heat and it was a sweep,

721
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 4: but the Heat were really, really, really bad. And then

722
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: they they figured it out against the Brooklyn Nets and

723
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: they won in seven against a strange lineup of the Nets.

724
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 4: And then yeah, the miracle series was the conference finals

725
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: against the Hawks. So they haven't started the playoffs. Well,

726
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 4: they didn't start started well last year. Bulls just got

727
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 4: to jump on it. Bulls got to get that game

728
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: Game three, Gotta do it.

729
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: Were you a surprise task that it was his career

730
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 3: high forty one for Drozen? I was like, wow, he

731
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 3: didn't have one one forty point game in the playoffs

732
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: for the Raptors in the highest was thirty seven. I

733
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: just checked Cobbyoys Prize a little bit.

734
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 7: And it's strange, I think, because it seems like DeRozan's

735
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 7: game is built for the postseason. We like when you

736
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 7: have to make mid range jumpers, and you know, he's

737
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 7: just had some some moments in the past where he

738
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 7: missed a lot of mid range jumpers happened in Game

739
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 7: one as well, So yeah, to actually get to forty

740
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 7: one was super impressive.

741
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 6: You just gotta just gotta get hot.

742
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 7: And I mean he was, I mean like he was

743
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 7: like fingertips over Jannis to barely get those balls to

744
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 7: the hoop.

745
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 6: I think even they were trying to follow him after.

746
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 7: Those couple of offensive rebounds, like after the Bucci one swats

747
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 7: it out to him, I think Commentsan like ran up

748
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 7: to try and follow him at the time. Here in

749
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 7: quality he went to the hoop and finished at the

750
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 7: finished at the rim.

751
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: Usually Damar's games in the postseason have a boat load

752
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 4: of free throws, so this one felt a little bit

753
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 4: more uh dMar like banging home shots. I mean, there's

754
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: he's had some big free throw games in the postseason,

755
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 4: but this one. Yeah. The problem was why I may

756
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 4: have been clogging my Wi Fi broadband is because I

757
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 4: was loading de Rozan's game log in the postseason. I

758
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 4: looked at it earlier today and I thought it was

759
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 4: the best game. The stat line just taken over. And

760
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 4: maybe it's because I've got bad memories of the Raptors

761
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 4: losing games, but this one felt real, especially with you know,

762
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 4: single digit free throws.

763
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, Any other thoughts from anybody here at league?

764
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 3: Got anything else on on Bucks bulls? You like having

765
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: Gus Johnson back.

766
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: On the call.

767
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 5: I love having Gus Johnson on the call. His energy

768
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 5: is great. Kevin collabroo to last night awesome. He was fantastic.

769
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 5: And we had Brian Andson. I think, wasn't it in Stanton? Boston?

770
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 5: So really good? Not on the calls? Everyone was doing great.

771
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't like listen, everybody was good.

772
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 4: I don't like a Billy the Kid call for Billy

773
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: Donovan just because it's a nickname. You don't got to

774
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 4: use it every time.

775
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 3: That's fair.

776
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 4: It's not his nickname. It's just we you know the

777
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 4: nickname with Bill it's Billy, and you throw it on Donovan,

778
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: who is not a kid.

779
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: Okay? And John No, I agree? And Trey, any other

780
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: thoughts on your bulls here as you?

781
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

782
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm jacked. I can't wait. I got a crew

783
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 6: of five bros going on Friday.

784
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 3: Oh'd be really excited.

785
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 7: Shout out to my guy Tommy Poro. I saw him

786
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 7: here in the stream team earlier. He'll be there. He

787
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 7: sees red, so that's gonna be exciting. I'm excited a

788
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 7: couple of things. I'm gonna definitely be watching. Drew Holliday

789
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 7: has been basically nowhere so far to start this series.

790
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 7: He's twelve of thirty two from the field, he has

791
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 7: twelve assists, and he has ten turnovers. This just looks

792
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 7: like the weird Drew Holiday games where he's just, you know,

793
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 7: kind of giving it defensively, no doubt about it, but

794
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 7: not a lot of interest in being a scorer. They're

795
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 7: gonna need that. Middleton's gonna be missing some time here.

796
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 7: And the other part where the Bulls have been surprisingly

797
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 7: good so far is forcing turnovers against the Bucks. That

798
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 7: was kind of the bulls big key early in the

799
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 7: season when they were having some success defensive was a

800
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 7: lot of activity, a lot of Caruso deflections, and a

801
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 7: lot of just running around trying to get turnovers.

802
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 6: So if they're able to keep the turnovers down and

803
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 6: if they're.

804
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 7: Able to keep Drew Holliday out of rhythm going going

805
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 7: back to Chicago, that's huge for the Balls because I

806
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 7: think Zach Lavine can be better as well, like he

807
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 7: had a better game game too, but he was kind

808
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 7: of invisible in the second half until he hit a

809
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 7: big three pointer in the fourth quarter. Just scored twenty points,

810
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 7: much more efficient. But it would be good for the

811
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 7: balls if he had a big time game at some point.

812
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just you know, final thoughts on Caruso. I mean,

813
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: you slipped it in there, tray, how amazing he was

814
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: Again the box score, it's not gonna like, wow, you

815
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 3: only had nine points, but he had ten assists, the

816
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: two steals, two blocks, he hit three threes. Those are

817
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: money and he's a plus sixteen, leading the entire game

818
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: in that stat. It just it's it does feel like

819
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 3: there's multiple Carusos at there. At times a guy plays hard.

820
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 3: I do love that they throw world champion in front

821
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: of his head. Yeah, person gets.

822
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 4: That a lot.

823
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I mean, yes, okay, there's you could

824
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: say that about a lot of guys, but he gets

825
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 3: it all the time because he's one of those scrappy

826
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: different makers.

827
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's also what else are you going to say

828
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 4: about Cruso role player Alex carus So, I know I

829
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 4: he is. We throw a lot of you know, lines,

830
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 4: these little these little phrases for guys. But Alex Caruso deserves,

831
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: you know, coach on the floor, deserves the championship pedigree,

832
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: all that craft. If you hear you heard him in

833
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 4: the in one of the the audio segments there, and

834
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 4: he was talking about just just doing stuff like keeping

835
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 4: your hands back and and stuff that helped the Lakers

836
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 4: win the championship. And that's exactly exactly what they need.

837
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 4: I'm I'm riding high. I'm looking forward to to Friday night. Yeah,

838
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 4: the Bucks have to play with a little bit more,

839
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: a little bit more physicality on the defensive end, I

840
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 4: guess is what it is. What you know, what they're

841
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 4: talking about right now. But you know, the Bulls brought

842
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 4: it obviously. We'll see. Let's see what happens in game three.

843
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 3: That's where Middleton if he's gonna miss games you know whatever,

844
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: three four, if he's out for the series, hopefully not.

845
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 3: We're finding out what the MRI says later today, I'm sure.

846
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 3: But like he's a great defensive player, he does not

847
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: get nearly enough credit on that end. We think of

848
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: him as like sort of like they're just score and

849
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 3: stuff like that. He's he is really solid. He doesn't

850
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 3: get fooled easily. He's always in the right position. So

851
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: that would be a tough, tough loss for the Bucks,

852
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: who are, like we said, they just don't have a

853
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 3: lot of depth on this team, but they have Gianni

854
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: still and that can whin you still a lot of games,

855
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 3: So huge game there on Friday nights. So excited Trey

856
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: and the boys, including Tommy Poro. Good morning, good evening,

857
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,959
Speaker 3: good night, good afternoon. I can't wait for you guys

858
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: to enjoy that game three. Okay, let's take our first break.

859
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll talk about the Celtics taking

860
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 3: the two oher series lead on the Nets, and we

861
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: got some Devin Booker news about his injury. Don't go anywhere,

862
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 3: all right, A quick hello to everybody joining us a

863
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: little bit later, take a second like the video, subscribe

864
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: to note onks on YouTube and drop your comments there

865
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 3: in the stream team. We really appreciate it. Well, I

866
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: heard this on the ding this morning. Ley, you didn't

867
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 3: want to have a seventeen point lead last night, wraps

868
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: up seventeen, blow it, Celtics down seventeen, comeback to win,

869
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: so the Nets blew that eighteen. You were good like

870
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 3: the Bulls had there and then they held on. But seventeen,

871
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: that was the magic number last night, So yeah, let's

872
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 3: get into it. Celtics rally in the second half to

873
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 3: beat the Nets one fourteen, one oh seven in the

874
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 3: end and take the two h series lead. The Beantown

875
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: Boys taking care of business in Boston.

876
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 5: They sure a couple of bad stats and bad signs

877
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 5: really for Brooklyn, because that Celtics defense is absolutely living

878
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 5: up to the hype. I've never seen Kevin Durant sort

879
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 5: of look unable to just put his stamp on offense

880
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 5: like this. Every single Boston defender is causing him some

881
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 5: sort of trouble and usually that second defender is almost

882
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 5: right there every time, and he knows it's coming, and

883
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 5: I think that's causing him to rush it to get

884
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 5: his shot off a little bit. They mostly haven't been great, look,

885
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 5: some of them have been okay, but that pressure and

886
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 5: that ball pressure is forcing turnovers into him. He had

887
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: another six last night in addition to the six he

888
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 5: had in Game one, and I think it's because he's

889
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 5: been rushed. He's like, I haven't got time to sort

890
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 5: of dribble too much to get to the spot that

891
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 5: I like to get to and when he gets there,

892
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 5: there's just so many arms and Celtics bodies coming at

893
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 5: him that he just can't get sort of a good

894
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 5: couple of clean looks off. He went four for seventeen

895
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 5: from the field last night, missed his last ten. He

896
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 5: got to the free throw line, he went eighteen for

897
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 5: twenty AK. That's fine, but that's not kind of where

898
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 5: Kem Duran's going to kill you. I think he beat

899
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 5: you when he's just lacing jumper after jumper he's coming down.

900
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 5: It's like, we can't stop this guy because he's just

901
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 5: too good. And so I think that's a major concern

902
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 5: here for Boston because they're not getting a ton of

903
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 5: support from other guys. Whore Kyrie basically didn't even show

904
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 5: up last night. Seth Curry and Bruce Brown were okay,

905
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 5: but that was about it. And then for Boston, I

906
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 5: don't see one player like truly dominated, which is a

907
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 5: great sign here for the Celtics. I think Jalen Brown

908
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 5: was their best. He had twenty two points, hits and

909
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 5: big shots down the stretch, and he is so effective

910
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 5: when he drives inside like he hangs in the air.

911
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 5: He gets that shot up right near the rim. He's

912
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 5: got incredible handles. You saw him really just undressed Kyrie

913
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 5: or Bruce Brown o Kyrie on one of those ones,

914
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 5: and then he finished his inside and then Jason Tatum.

915
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 5: I mean only nineteen points in Tennessee. It's not a

916
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 5: massive box score, but he's just orchestrating that offense so well.

917
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 5: I think he just coming down and he's like he's

918
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 5: creating for others. He knows when he has to go

919
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 5: and get his shot. He's doing that. But this is

920
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 5: great for Boston that you don't need a guy having

921
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 5: to go out there and score thirty five or forty points.

922
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: Everyone's contributing. Hawford very solid again, Grant Williams off the bench,

923
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 5: hit three to three. Peyton Pritchard was even handy in

924
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 5: his minutes. You know, he hit a three. He was

925
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 5: playing well and Boston as well. Going back to their

926
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 5: defense here, they forced seven steals last night and I

927
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 5: went back and checked the tape this morning. Six of

928
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 5: those led directly, I mean directly to a basket. They

929
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 5: on twelve points. They scored on those fast breaks, a

930
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 5: couple of threes in there, and then the other one

931
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 5: was a foul whe Kevin durand fouled Al Horford. He

932
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 5: didn't like that call, but he found him and slowed

933
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 5: down the transition play there. When Boston forced those turnovers

934
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 5: on Brooklyn, they get punished immediately for it. And then

935
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 5: it's the opposite with Brooklyn's defense. They're not creating any pressure.

936
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 5: I don't think, not creating any action. It feels more

937
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 5: like they're just hanging on hoping Boston missus shots and Boston,

938
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 5: you know, Boston aren't like torching them from the field,

939
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 5: but they're just getting cleaner looks because that ball's moving around.

940
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 5: So this one, obviously, now going back to Brooklyn, Game

941
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 5: three is pivotal in that series. The Nets need one.

942
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 5: They led this one. They look good enough, but they

943
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 5: couldn't close it out. And Kevin Durant I think he's

944
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 5: showing some sides of fatigue there as well. He plays

945
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 5: a ton of minutes, and just the fact that he

946
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 5: can't get going, get that rhythm going, is really slowing

947
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 5: down Brooklyn's offense.

948
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 3: It is weird to see Kevin Durant Trey look normal.

949
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what he looks like. He doesn't look

950
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: like what a lot of people consider the greatest offensive

951
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: player of all time. Some people go as far as saying,

952
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 3: you know, he has showed that many times before. It's

953
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 3: the Celtics defense. Maybe it's fatigue and he's just in

954
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 3: a funk right now. I mean, not hitting a shot

955
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: in the second half is wild for Katie.

956
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, twenty free throw attempts, so the overall line number

957
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 7: looks fine, but yeah, four for seventeen, and it just

958
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 7: feels a little bit like the Celtics at least have

959
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 7: an idea of what they want to do with Kevin Durant.

960
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 6: That's be right up on him, be right in his airspace.

961
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 7: They keep talking about it, and they've got enough length

962
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 7: and athleticism to be able to challenge his shots even

963
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 7: if he's going to be able to still get him off.

964
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 7: But he's got a hand in his face almost every

965
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 7: single time. So really, really impressive by the Celtics. This

966
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 7: was a team that we were calling too many soloists

967
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 7: early in the season and just an incredible ensemble victory

968
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 7: last night. Played eight guys only thirteen minutes for Derek White,

969
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 7: he was the only one who didn't score in double digits.

970
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 6: Ten for Prichard. I thought was huge.

971
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 7: Seventeen for Grant Williams, a perfect night, six of six

972
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 7: from the free throw line, three of three from three,

973
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 7: and then another two point make as well. I thought

974
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 7: he was massive on defense, especially in the first half

975
00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 7: of this game.

976
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, that was impressive.

977
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 7: And then to get offensive production from Daniel Tye like

978
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 7: his big time as well, I think because I think

979
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 7: that's uh, you know, for as much as the defense

980
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 7: might fall off missing Robert Williams, he's also a good

981
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 7: passer and the best vertical threat that the Celtics have.

982
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 7: Tyson stepped into that role alongside Grant Williams and they've

983
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 7: been able to cover those minutes with no problem. He

984
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 7: could come back at some point further on in the

985
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 7: playoffs as well. So the Celtics just found a way

986
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 7: to win. You know, it could have easily been a

987
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 7: Nets victory here. Maybe they have a little bit of

988
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 7: a little bit of confidence that they're like, yeah, we'll

989
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 7: play better at some point. But you just lost two

990
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 7: that were that were winnable. You could have stolen one

991
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 7: of these, and if you're going to pull off the upset,

992
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 7: you have to have to be able to steal a

993
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 7: road game.

994
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Grant Williams when the Celtics were down,

995
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 3: but he was like keeping them alive there in the

996
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 3: first quarter. I think he scored the final eight points.

997
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: I know, he splashed two threes, scored again, then he

998
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 3: had a block just to keep it, you know, you know,

999
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 3: within striking distance of course, like.

1000
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 4: They kept trash after that blot.

1001
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they kept ending quarters. I mean it's always

1002
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 3: I find I then watching all these games. One thing,

1003
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 3: it's a weird thing if the team is up but

1004
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: the other team is trailing, if they can end a

1005
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: quarter let's say the first quarter, and then it also

1006
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 3: happens at the half, which had also happened in this game,

1007
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 3: even if you're down, it's a hell of assigned because

1008
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 3: it means like it's just the definition of like hanging around,

1009
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 3: hanging around, give yourself a chance, and that's what they

1010
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: did in this one. But task, what were your big

1011
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: takeaways from Celtics winning this I just.

1012
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 4: Thought it was unbelievable that the Nets couldn't do anything

1013
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. These are the guys who are

1014
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 4: supposed to perform in the fourth quarter, and it was

1015
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 4: a total flip of Game one where yeah, the Celtics

1016
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 4: were up big on into the fourth. The Nets performed

1017
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 4: twenty nine nineteen. They outscored the Celtics in the fourth

1018
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 4: and then in this one an absolute flip. I had

1019
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 4: to watch it twice because I just didn't understand what

1020
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 4: the heck happened on both sides of the ball. Because

1021
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 4: if you only score seventeen points as the Nets did

1022
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, and you gave up twenty nine,

1023
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 4: you just got absolutely spanked. It had to happen on

1024
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 4: both ends, and on the defensive end. Their back quarter

1025
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 4: is just too small, and the Celtics started picking who

1026
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 4: they wanted. When Tatum got on the floor about ten

1027
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 4: minutes left, he got an easy switch on Curry, backed

1028
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 4: him down, set up Brown for a three. Next possession.

1029
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown got Irving on an island, went through him

1030
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 4: and scored. Next possession. Tatum got Irving on his back,

1031
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 4: set a pritcher for a three. Next possession, Brown picked Irving,

1032
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 4: spun through him and scored. It's not like Kyrie Irving

1033
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: is weak or isn't strong. He's ridiculously strong. But it's

1034
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 4: this just shows you hype matters. And even though people

1035
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 4: will say, you know they don't play defense anymore. I mean,

1036
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 4: these guys were trying to play defense, but the literally

1037
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 4: the nets don't have anybody on the perimeter that's tall enough. Obviously,

1038
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons coming back would be huge. They just released

1039
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 4: James Johnson before the playoffs because they thought Kessler Edwards

1040
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 4: was going to play, and Nash isn't playing him, so

1041
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: they're really just, you know, they're switching easily. So they're

1042
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 4: just trying to, you know, play through it. And the

1043
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 4: Celtics were just scoring at will. And Durant knows it.

1044
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 4: He said it after the game. He said, quote, they

1045
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 4: get in isolation situations and we usually play three guards

1046
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 4: under six foot two, six foot three. He's like, you know,

1047
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 4: he's giving you the roster and what's going on and

1048
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 4: he goes on about the isolation situations and we just played.

1049
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: So it's like, I don't know. I mean, I don't

1050
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 4: think it's excuses. I think KD is just absolutely not

1051
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 4: in his flow. So if they, like I said, the

1052
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 4: defensive end was a struggle and they're only scoring seventeen

1053
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 4: points in that fourth quarter, Durant, yeah, as you guys said, yeah,

1054
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 4: four baskets in this game. Although he got to the line,

1055
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 4: a ton just has been taken out of his rhythm.

1056
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 4: You know, he got open shots in the fourth looking back,

1057
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: but they just rattled in and out, and you know,

1058
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 4: they're kind of the Obviously, the Nets are a little

1059
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 4: bit predictable, and it started to look a little bit

1060
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 4: like last year. But listen, the Celtics just play incredible defense,

1061
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 4: and I thought the fifty to fifty balls were big too.

1062
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 4: In the fourth quarter, It's like the Nets weren't up

1063
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 4: to the task. There's some weird plays where Kyrie had

1064
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 4: the ball on the base line, no one around him

1065
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 4: and could have passed out, but just waited for a

1066
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 4: double team to come and Tatem just smacks it off

1067
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 4: his leg and it goes out of bounds. So everything

1068
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 4: just went the Celtics way, while the NETSI just just

1069
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 4: totally off. Durant hasn't looked this way in a long time,

1070
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 4: probably since he was a member of the thunder people,

1071
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 4: you know, pointing out the three one loss to the

1072
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 4: Warriors and I guess, but it's it was strange. You know,

1073
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 4: Peyton Prichard had as many points as Durant and Irving

1074
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 4: combined in the fourth quarter. That just doesn't happen in basketball.

1075
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this I don't and Nash his

1076
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 4: first line was, you know, we haven't had many minutes together.

1077
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 4: And I guess that's what it kind of looked like

1078
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, kind of just looked like a

1079
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 4: team that wasn't comfortable playing together. But they look so

1080
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 4: much better in the fourth quarter of Game one and

1081
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 4: just were rattled when when they were up, like as

1082
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 4: you were talking about their skeets, they were up going

1083
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 4: into the fourth, they had the lead, but just could

1084
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 4: and find the bottom of a net. And we're easy

1085
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 4: to pick on defensively, as Lee was talking about, the

1086
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 4: Celtics didn't have an incredible offensive game, but they're just

1087
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 4: picking Yeah, okay, we'll go at you, Krrie, Okay, we'll

1088
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 4: go at you, Seth. And that was it.

1089
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: What do you think Nash does here?

1090
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 4: Lee?

1091
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 3: Moving into Game three, this is what I'm fascinated to

1092
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 3: see because like Durant was getting, He's getting the ball

1093
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 3: sort of in the middle of the floor, and then

1094
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 3: of course all the Celtics wings sort of like you know,

1095
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 3: sink down run at him and they're still quick enough

1096
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 3: to recover. So it's not like Katie can pick them apart,

1097
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: like by finding shooters and stuff like that. Does Nash

1098
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: try and put Katie into for an action? Do they

1099
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 3: put him somewhere else on the floor or will Nash

1100
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 3: just go which I'm a little worried about, Like, no,

1101
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 3: he's kad, He'll figure it out. That's what it feels like.

1102
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 3: The game plan is, it's like it's all right, and

1103
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: he might Edi might. I mean, would you be all

1104
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 3: that shocked if Katie goes for you know, forty five

1105
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: in the next game. Probably not, But you may want

1106
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 3: to try some other things too, because this isn't working

1107
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: against this Celtics defense and the personnel they have.

1108
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 5: That's the thing I think you feel the Celtics. It

1109
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 5: doesn't really matter because you're going to live with if

1110
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 5: it's Bruce Brown, who started off quite nicely there last year,

1111
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 5: Sat Hurry Seth Curry's kind of weird too. I think

1112
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 5: he can be much more effective, but he seems to

1113
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 5: have like a good little spurt and then that's the

1114
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 5: last receive of him. Obviously, Kyrie. If he has another

1115
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 5: sort of explosion like he did in get the fourth

1116
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 5: quarter of Game one, that's going to help. But yeah,

1117
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 5: you're going to try to do whatever you can for

1118
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant. But again, if you're running a screen that

1119
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 5: other Celtics defendant no matter who it is, and Robert

1120
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 5: Williams is potentially coming back at some point here as well,

1121
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 5: it feels like they're capable of at least causing Kevin

1122
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 5: Durant trouble. You know, there's no weak link on that defense.

1123
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 5: You know, even Ol Hawford at his age, he's still

1124
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 5: coming out. He's covering very very well, and they're all

1125
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 5: just getting up in Kd's face and he's, like I

1126
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 5: was saying earlier, he's rushing into those shots because he's like,

1127
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 5: there's no one here that I can pick on who's

1128
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 5: got the weakness to slow their defense down. So that's

1129
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 5: gonna be tough. You just have to hope that Kevin

1130
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 5: Durant gets into that sort of transition or rhythm where

1131
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, this is before the defense can even

1132
00:51:58,680 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 5: have a chance to set up. He can get into

1133
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,479
Speaker 5: some of those threes or slice inside for those little

1134
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 5: mid rangers that he can knock down. Because in the

1135
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 5: half court it's just working for Boston right now. But

1136
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 5: it's a fascinating series. I mean, yeah, Brooklyn were, you know,

1137
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 5: one second away from winning Game one. They led most

1138
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 5: of Game two here, but Boston has just been the

1139
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 5: better consistent team in those crucial moments and that's why

1140
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 5: they're up to Oh but man, that crowd there last night,

1141
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 5: the atmosphere, that's a tough place to lay. Kyrie I

1142
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 5: just think, was like, I don't want to be here tonight,

1143
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 5: liked he was like, let's just go back to Brooklyn

1144
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 5: and see if we can get a couple of wins

1145
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 5: at home.

1146
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was seemed to be lacking the fight that

1147
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 3: he had in Game one. Yeah, for sure. And you

1148
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 3: know we even saw the moment where he checked out

1149
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 3: in the first quarter I guess right, lead in the

1150
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 3: first quarter, I think it was. And you saw the

1151
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: one of the assistant coaches clicking, you know, tapping on

1152
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 3: the watch. You can have you know, the sun is

1153
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 3: set here in Boston. You can now get some food,

1154
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 3: and you came back out he was eating a bananaly.

1155
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 3: It must have been pumped.

1156
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 5: Tennis players e bananas as well, that's right, but.

1157
00:52:59,400 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 4: It didn't work.

1158
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 3: No, no, Yeah, a full list tennis players.

1159
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 5: Australian rules football players eat them as well. Joggers do,

1160
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 5: don't they ske too? I think long distance runners like

1161
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 5: to have them. So I saw actually a running say athletes,

1162
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 5: Yeah that's right, Yeah, I saw run I saw toddlers

1163
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 5: love them. Yeah, a run of the other day's skis.

1164
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 5: She had four water packs as she was running around

1165
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 5: with Like, so.

1166
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 3: You're going to say, four bananas.

1167
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 5: How do you feel about that? The four water packs there?

1168
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 5: Like that to me?

1169
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: Is that on a long run? You gotta know, I

1170
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 3: get that.

1171
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, like, isn't it wouldn't that be sort

1172
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 5: of low, you know, tough at the start if they're

1173
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 5: all full with water, Like, yeah, you know, it seems

1174
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 5: a little uncomfortable to me.

1175
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 4: That's all.

1176
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't love running with water. I'm even trying

1177
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 3: the old water bottle in the hand, like you can

1178
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 3: get one that straps around your hand. You still even

1179
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 3: find that a little uncomfortable. But anyway, yeah, he was,

1180
00:53:59,360 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 3: he was.

1181
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 2: I'm you.

1182
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 3: He did not seem locked into that game.

1183
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 5: He didn't want the fight last not.

1184
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 3: No, he didn't. He didn't. And the crowd was great,

1185
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: as you know that Boston crowd is. They're loud, and

1186
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 3: you know, you almost want to give them a little

1187
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,919
Speaker 3: credit for getting back into it obviously, the fourth corner

1188
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 3: and the fifty fifty balls and stuff like that. Tasa

1189
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 3: for sure. I think they all sort of go hand

1190
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 3: in hands. So we'll see what happens in the clays

1191
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 3: in the Barclay Center for Game three. I loved Marcus

1192
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 3: Smart looking at his left hand when he uh, I

1193
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 3: mean it was a crazy shot. I'll give him that.

1194
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: You know, it was an insane shot, like the left

1195
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 3: hand hawk with in traffic at ice the game games over.

1196
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 3: But always find it funny with a professional basketball player

1197
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 3: is looking at their off hand when I said, you

1198
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 3: reminded me too. It was great with a great tweet

1199
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 3: of one of the Worst of the Week nominations back

1200
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 3: in the.

1201
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 5: Day that that Slimo raateeplay though it looked like the

1202
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 5: whole nets defense was there, and he.

1203
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it was nice.

1204
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 5: It was wild shot, it.

1205
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 3: Was, but this was next level. Looking at the head,

1206
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 3: This was stan Jalen. Take a look at the check

1207
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 3: out this hand, look at this.

1208
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 7: You're gonna say this thing.

1209
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: Also, just back to Nash who I was having a

1210
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 3: rough series, if we're being honest, weird challenged by him. Yeah,

1211
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 3: on the Kyrie fell on Tatum with like what three

1212
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: twenty to go close game, you know, tight, and Tatum

1213
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 3: hits both. It didn't really matter in the end because

1214
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 3: that timeout that he would have had it didn't really

1215
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 3: come into play. But strange, strange challenge on that one.

1216
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 5: I don't I think he just trusted Kyrie because Kyrie

1217
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 5: was like, I got both first, and he kind of did,

1218
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 5: but he definitely whacked him across them too.

1219
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1220
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, That's really all I have on this. You know,

1221
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 3: it's setting up nicely for the Ben Simmons save us.

1222
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 4: Down.

1223
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 7: Imagine they're down three zero, bring Ben Simmons back in

1224
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 7: a game for elimination game that that would be the

1225
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 7: only thing that could make Ben Simmons Saga like even

1226
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 7: stranger for its last and entire year and he comes

1227
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 7: back for an elimination true, it all happen.

1228
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 4: Probably, It is weird. It is weird that he would

1229
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 4: immediately help them just being on defense and dribbling the ball.

1230
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 4: He would help them so much because of the roster

1231
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 4: moves they made, as I said, you know, dropping James Johnson,

1232
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 4: but win game three would sort of make sense. I

1233
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know if it happens, but it

1234
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 4: was wild. Yeah. The Nets, you know, played three quarters

1235
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 4: and then just just couldn't finish the game out. Yeah,

1236
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 4: all these roster moves, I mean, Drags was their leading

1237
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 4: score at half with sixteen points, a guy they picked

1238
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 4: up off the scrap heap. He made seven shots in

1239
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 4: the first half. Called his team out after Game one

1240
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 4: after he tried to inbound it under his hoop and

1241
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 4: no one came back. And I thought he probably should

1242
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 4: have got more minutes in the fourth just to be

1243
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 4: a table setter. Like this team looked, like, I said,

1244
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 4: a lot like the team against Milwaukee where they were

1245
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 4: just kind of walking it up, like last year where

1246
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 4: they didn't have Kyrie and they had half a Harden

1247
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 4: and they didn't trust Langry Smit or Jewan Carter, and

1248
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 4: it looked a lot similar. And then and Durant, Yeah,

1249
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 4: Durant did a lot of talking. Kyrie did no talking

1250
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 4: in this game. If I'm a body language doctor, I

1251
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 4: think Durant is just I mean, he's so flustered, so frustrated.

1252
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 4: If he's talking like he was talking a lot to

1253
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 4: Al Horford, that means he's just he's off. Usually when

1254
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 4: he talks. He'll say f off or something really short

1255
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 4: two to three words. But he was talking a lot

1256
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 4: yesterday to out like Al Horford getting out under your

1257
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 4: skin something something is not right.

1258
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Celtics bigs though, really came through in game two.

1259
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought up his name at least there.

1260
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 3: Al Horford was awesome. Six to ten. You know he

1261
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 3: fouls out in this, but sixteen points there, six boards

1262
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 3: tice like you said seven and nine shooting, he had

1263
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 3: six boards and then Grant Williams with the seventeen points

1264
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 3: keeping them in it in the first quarter and not

1265
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 3: missing a shot. Not bad from your three bigs there,

1266
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 3: and you're missing one in Robert Williams a time lord,

1267
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 3: and yeah, who knows. I mean, there's gonna be real.

1268
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 3: No rush to get him back point like they're going

1269
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 3: now to Well, they're going to Brooklyn for the Classic,

1270
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 3: just got to get one. We get one, and we're

1271
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 3: feeling pretty good heading back to game five for Boston.

1272
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 3: We'll see if they can do it. Exciting stuff here.

1273
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 3: Any other thoughts on that game, guys, No? Nothing, all right, Well,

1274
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 3: we got some injury update reports that Devin Booker is

1275
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 3: going to likely miss Games three and four versus the

1276
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 3: Pelicans with the hamstring strain. Now he's he's out indefinitely.

1277
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 3: The Sun said it's a mild right hamstring strain, no

1278
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 3: timetable for his return, So woes is the one saying

1279
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 3: he's unlikely to play here in the next two games,

1280
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 3: but he could return during the series. Trey, what are

1281
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 3: your what's your your take on? This is something we

1282
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 3: talked about obviously yesterday. I guess yesterday show he could

1283
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 3: miss games three. Now it sounds like he's gonna miss

1284
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 3: both in the New Orleans.

1285
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, if there's any team that can deal with missing

1286
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 7: a star for a couple of games, I do think

1287
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 7: it's They've had both Chris Paul and Devin Booker missed

1288
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 7: a nice little chunk of time during the season, and

1289
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 7: they did well both of those times. But I do

1290
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 7: think this is a big deal. The further on in

1291
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 7: the playoffs that the Suns go. They seem like the

1292
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 7: biggest Finals lock heading into the postseason, but now I

1293
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 7: definitely think they've got some questions. The Pelicans will be

1294
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 7: tough to beat with just Chris Paul in the back court.

1295
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 7: New Orleans has been playing really well they've been playing

1296
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 7: important games for a long time, and they've got a

1297
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 7: ton of offense. But it seems like the Suns would

1298
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 7: be able to take that series with a hampered Booker.

1299
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 6: And if he's out for.

1300
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 7: Games three and four, to me likely it really means

1301
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 7: that he's out until the Suns are in a dire position,

1302
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 7: you know, like if they happen to lose Game three,

1303
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 7: maybe they maybe they accelerate a little bit to come

1304
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 7: back for Game four, but they'll play it pretty safe

1305
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 7: at least.

1306
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 4: In Round one.

1307
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,479
Speaker 7: The bigger question will be when he returns, exactly when

1308
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 7: he does return, how he looks when he's back, and

1309
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 7: then also if this hamstring injury lingers at all, because

1310
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 7: they're gonna need him for sure starting in And then

1311
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 7: you look at James Harden. He played through a hamstring

1312
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 7: injury last year. He looked like a one legged man

1313
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 7: and it's still a concern a year later for Harden.

1314
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 7: So with the Warriors looking like the Warriors, with the

1315
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 7: Grizzlies having a nice bounced back victory against the Timberwolves

1316
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 7: as well, the Timberwolves are even looking okay like they're

1317
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 7: gonna definitely need Devin Booker back to be a title

1318
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 7: contender once again. The good thing, I suppose is that

1319
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 7: they're calling it a mild strain, and it definitely seems

1320
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 7: like they're gonna be using an abundance of caution here

1321
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 7: with Booker. But it makes things a lot more interesting

1322
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 7: in the Western Conference. I would say between the Warriors

1323
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 7: start and this Booker injury, the conference finals, birth feels

1324
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 7: more up in the air than it has probably this

1325
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 7: entire season.

1326
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably fair. I think I think

1327
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 3: the Suns lee went eight and six without Booker this season, so,

1328
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 3: you know, fine, not amazing record obviously, with the amount

1329
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 3: of games they won this year. What they get to

1330
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 3: sixty four or something like that. You know, what do

1331
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 3: you think? Are you concerned if you're a Suns fan

1332
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 3: about him missing these couple of games maybe here in

1333
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 3: New Orleans?

1334
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 5: I think you have to be somewhat concerned because a

1335
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 5: hamstring tends to be one of those things that needs

1336
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 5: time rather than you can't. You can't rush that back

1337
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 5: because you're likely then to sort of reinjure it. So

1338
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 5: he's got to come back when he's one hundred percent healthy.

1339
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 5: And if that's you know, two games or four games

1340
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 5: or whatever, then you're better off I think just sitting

1341
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 5: him out that entire time, because if he comes back

1342
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 5: and tears it completely, then you may lose him for

1343
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 5: the entire playoffs. So tough situation here for the Suns.

1344
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 5: Huge game obviously Game three against the Pelicans, because if

1345
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 5: they win that then obviously worst case scenario, they go

1346
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 5: back to too. They should still win the series, they

1347
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 5: should deal should be better than the Pelicans overall, but

1348
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 5: it certainly does make things a lot more interesting because,

1349
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 5: as we said on yesterday show, New Orleans won that

1350
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 5: game with or without Devin book Er anyway, yesterday or

1351
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 5: the day before, they outplayed them, and they're going to

1352
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 5: be feeling very very confident. So I'm excited. I mean,

1353
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 5: it does you know, it sucks whenever there's an injury,

1354
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 5: but it sort of does create a little bit more

1355
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 5: in trigue anyway, to see how they handle it, how

1356
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 5: Phoenix goes from here, and whether or not the Pelicans

1357
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 5: can just test them and drag them out to a

1358
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 5: seven game series here and who knows. So overall it's

1359
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 5: good for the you know, for the games, but it

1360
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 5: just sucks obviously for the Sons and book of that

1361
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 5: he may miss some time here and hopefully it's not

1362
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 5: too long.

1363
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're saying in the stream, team DC here tass

1364
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 3: pull pork, not him.

1365
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 4: I like that.

1366
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 3: I don't mind it either. It just makes me want

1367
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 3: to do some pulled park and the old slow cooker.

1368
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 3: I might do that this weekend now, thanks DC nexs DC.

1369
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Sons are definitely hamstrung here, but everybody else is. No. Yeah,

1370
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 4: I shouldn't say excited because it's not. But as Trey said, yeah,

1371
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 4: the NBA playoffs are in a bit of a flux

1372
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 4: situation in both conferences. The Bucks lose a home game,

1373
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 4: but I thought that they were the favorite in the

1374
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference. Obviously some intrigue there. And then what happens

1375
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 4: with the Suns, especially if they lose Game three in

1376
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 4: New Orleans? Does that propel Booker to say, Okay, I'll

1377
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 4: come back game four if they're down to one. So

1378
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 4: it is, Yeah, it's big here. In game three, I

1379
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 4: know that everyone is expecting the Suns to pull it out,

1380
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 4: and Cam Johnson is I assume the guy going in

1381
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 4: the starting lineup and had some big games when Booker

1382
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 4: was out, had that monstrous thirty eight point game that

1383
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 4: Banker winner, and I assume they'll be fine, but I assume, yeah,

1384
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 4: you got to sit him out for both these games.

1385
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 4: It would be really strange to see him back in

1386
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 4: game four, even if they are too one down, they

1387
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 4: should sit him because yeah, they've got some big, big aspirations.

1388
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, for the the cash fan, it makes it, yeah,

1389
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 4: a little bit more intriguing. Unfortunately for Booker, it's not fun. Yeah,

1390
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 4: pull pork, not him.

1391

01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 5: stuff to talk about. I think you'd be better than

1488
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 5: old Anthony Ketis when I saw him at the finals.

1489

Speaker 5: Trey had the challenge of getting the photo and Anthony

1491
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 5: Keatis is walking past it. Anthony, we're talking. I said, hey, listen, man,

1492
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 5: I do this show for NBA TV. Got a challenge.

1493
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 5: You got to take a photo with the celebrity.

01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm not your man.

1495
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 5: And he walked off. That's why I said that Red

1496
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,759
Speaker 5: Hot Chili Peppers have got ship crowd interaction.

1497
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 3: Oh this all makes sense now.

1498
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I said, put your sock on, get down there.

1499
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 3: You could have asked him to put the sock on.

1500
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 3: You could have taken a selfie.

1501
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 5: Like selfie with him, for sure, no worries at all.

1502
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 5: So I'm prepared. I'm prepared for that.

1503
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 8: You know, when you say sark selfie you would get

1504
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 8: you would get down to the sock as well, the

1505
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 8: two of you in.

1506
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, I thought Lee was putting his head down

1507
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 3: by the sock.

1508
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,840

1509
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 5: just to go there with Anthony, because I because imagine

1510

01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 4: Alright, I'm walking to unblocked Jeremy because then Jeremy will

1535
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:15,959
Speaker 4: speak in class again. Speaking of chat again, we're talking about.

1536
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 3: Okay, tonight's games. We got Grizzlies Wolves with the seven

1537
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 3: thirty tip. Hey, they got it on TNT. That's nice

1538
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,520
Speaker 3: to see that series tied at one game apiece. In Minnesota.

1539
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 3: The Target Center is going to be going crazy. We

1540
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:35,759
Speaker 3: got MAVs Jazz at nine on NBA TV. That series

1541
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 3: also tied at one one, and then Warriors Nuggets is

1542
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 3: the late game where the Warriors will look to take

1543
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 3: a three to zer lead. We'll see what the Denver

1544
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 3: Nuggets and Yolkic can do and see if they can

1545
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 3: make it a series at the very least, though a

1546
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 3: lot of people are not convinced after the first two

1547
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 3: games that that'll be the case. Yeah, who wants to

1548
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 3: tackle this first? Any predictions thoughts? Things to watch for?

1549
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 3: How about it?

1550
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 6: How about a big line from NIKOLEA.

1551
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 7: Jokic. What I'm expecting tonight. I don't know if it

1552
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 7: means a win for the Nuggets, but a forty point

1553
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 7: game coming from the presumptive MVP.

1554
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, it's.

1555
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 4: A new haircut, a new haircut from Yoki too. It's

1556
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 4: a lot better between game two three.

1557
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I can't wait to see that. Uh tas what

1558
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 3: do you what do you you know? Which game are

1559
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 3: you most excited for? I guess there's a fair question.

1560
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm most excited for Minnesota Memphis, just to

1561
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 4: see how the Grizzlies respond after winning a game this time,

1562
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 4: so I think the first quarter is so key in

1563
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 4: the in this particular series. I will say one more

1564
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 4: addition I want to make to the nickname possibilities for

1565
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 4: the death lineup. Just one more Pool and the gang

1566
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 4: from No Dunks a new pump, No Dunks Fan, a

1567
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 4: new pump. I know, you know, it excludes everybody else.

1568
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 4: It's just Pool. It's like a little too much emphasis

1569
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 4: on the new guy, right, But this is a new version.

1570
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 4: This is an entirely new version. And and and we

1571
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 4: kind of forget who went who was part of these

1572
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 4: original ones. So it's like there was Big Three plus

1573
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 4: Iggy and Harrison Barnes to start the Death lineup. Then

1574
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 4: it was Big Three plus Iggy plus Durant and so

1575
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 4: now I think you kind of need a new nickname.

1576
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 4: That's why I'm I'm I'm stomping for Pool and the Gang.

1577
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 4: It's and it's also it's a Big Three plus Pool

1578
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 4: plus Wiggins, which you leave out, which is also funny.

1579
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 4: I love Wiggins, but you know, and I think the

1580
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 4: Wiggans thing that got that can float, that can change,

1581
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 4: that could be Auto Porter. I think that could come

1582
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 4: in even a be Elitza or back to Iggy. So

1583
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 4: I kind of like pooling the Gang.

1584
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 3: It's given too much credit to Pool. Yeah, for sure,

1585
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer Steph Curry and Clay and Grave on there.

1586
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 3: But okay, it's unique, it's different. The one I'm seeing

1587
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 3: people running with is Death Star lineup clearly, so they're

1588
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,879
Speaker 3: taking the Death lineup turned it into a Star Wars

1589
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 3: vibe there. I don't know, maybe JD wants to get

1590
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 3: back on here and chime in on that. Yeah, death Star,

1591
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:02,799
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1592
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 5: Not the Darth, the Death Warriors. Yeah, we just we

1593
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 5: can just leave it alone. It'll come whatever.

1594
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,759
Speaker 3: They've played eleven minutes together. It's my favorite part.

1595
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 7: We up him the Grateful Death lineup. They're based out

1596
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 7: of San Francisco. The lineups keep changing. They've only played

1597
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 7: eleven minutes, which is the average length of a Grateful Dead.

1598
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 4: So like it.

1599
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 6: Maybe it works.

1600
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:36,640
Speaker 3: Grateful Death. That's not bad. Actually it's it's better than

1601
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 3: half the other ones I've heard, Lee, what are you

1602
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 3: watching for here tonight with these three games?

1603
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 5: Well, I am really interested in the Grizzlies Wolf series

1604
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 5: as well. Really not sure which way that one's going

1605
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 5: to go. You know, I expect better performance from Minnesota.

1606
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 5: In game three they were pretty bad, and so we'll

1607
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 5: see jar Moran and the boys look like they're back

1608
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 5: in game two, but different story now. You know, Pat

1609
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 5: Beverly's going to be fired up for this one on

1610
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 5: his home court and all. So honestly, it's a must

1611
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 5: win for the Jazz tonight at home.

1612
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 4: It really is.

1613
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 5: It is interesting if they lose this game without Doncic,

1614
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm almost certain he's not playing this game. Maybe he's

1615
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 5: back for Game four.

1616
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 4: There.

1617
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 5: They can't afford to be down in the series. They've

1618
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 5: stolen home court. They must confirm that advantage tonight. We'll

1619
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 5: see what happens. That's the weirdest series. I think it's like, Man,

1620
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 5: the Jazz have to win this series. Surely, surely don't they.

1621
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 3: Okay, so Ley is on record saying Jazz have to

1622
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 3: win Game three here at home tonight or they're in

1623
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 3: trouble in that series. I actually probably agree with you.

1624
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 3: Very excited for Grizzlies Wolves. We got to see a

1625
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 3: big towns game here. He's at least an imprint on

1626
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 3: the game like he was. He was made to really

1627
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 3: look invisible again in game two like we had seen

1628
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 3: in the play and so he's got to bounce back.

1629
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 3: So he's got I'm excited to see what happens in

1630
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 3: that one. We'll be back here tomorrow morning to break

1631
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 3: it all down, well, some of us will. Okay, Trey

1632
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 3: Kirby won't be joining us for the Drop podcast because

1633
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 3: this guy is headed to Chicago for his own Game

1634
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 3: three with the boys. What are you doing tonight in Chicago?

1635
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 3: Any plan?

1636
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 7: Oh, my sister just moved into a new house, so

1637
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go see her new high spend some time

1638
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,639
Speaker 7: with mom and sis and then with the Bros on Friday,

1639
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 7: Family on Saturday, the Bros for the Bulls again on Sunday.

1640
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 6: I think they got a noon start on Sundays.

1641
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:23,639
Speaker 3: You're going to both games?

1642
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 7: Well, I'm only going to Game three as of right now,

1643
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 7: but we'll see how things go Friday night.

1644
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know.

1645
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 7: If the bull shocked the world again, I could be

1646
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 7: enticed for a Sunday afternoon affair.

1647
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:39,440
Speaker 3: Wow, when's your flight home or are you coming on Monday.

1648
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 6: Or so lately I got like a nine o'clock flight.

1649
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, okay, so you could get it in Okay, Wow,

1650
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 3: didn't realize that that was in play. Well, anyway, keep

1651
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 3: an eye for Trey Kirby with your uh, with your DVR,

1652
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 3: make sure you pause the crowd see if you can

1653
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 3: find the big bearded one out there.

1654
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're we're off an angle to the right of

1655
01:16:57,640 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 7: the hoop. We were like, should we sit in the

1656
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 7: thunders dick zone? We could have sat like right behind

1657
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 7: the basket, which would have been cool, but you know,

1658
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 7: for only half the game pretty much, so yeah, that's

1659
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 7: not the possibility. I hope you'll at least pause it

1660
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 7: and check.

1661
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,639
