It led to some cuddles in my house 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: last night, and apparently the power went out for Skeets tonight. 19 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: I can't stop looking at you, even though before we 20 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: started I said, let's just act like we're in the 21 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: stream team. Pretty funny anyways, Lea, you think we'll be 22 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: able to do this all right? 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah, I mean this is full. 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 4: Part of the fun, isn't it just doing it on 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 4: the fly. We're on location, we're in the TD. I'm 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 4: the first signed for you and me both. Credible game, 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 4: great atmosphere. It's really funny here and right now, I 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 4: mean it's nearly midnight here, but the adrenaline is flowing. 29 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 4: We're just seeing an awesome game. And let's talk about him. 30 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 4: Let's break this baby down. 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the way you're talking, it sounds like you actually 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: played in the game out there. I mean, it was 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: jazzed up in here, no doubt from the tip, even 34 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: before the tip, obviously very loud for the first Celtics 35 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: Final game in twelve years here in Boston, and I 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: took the w taking a two to one lead over 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: the Warrior with one hundred and sixteen to one hundred victory. 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: But Lee, we were calling this game Gresham style about 39 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: halfway through the fourth quarter. But if you were to 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: ask us at the beginning of the fourth quarter, maybe 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: not the easiest choice. What'd you think about Genbrie. 42 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 4: I thought it was a really good game, and I 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: thought a key stat that I've already seen tweet from 44 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 4: Kirk Goldsbury over at ESPN that the Celtics shot ten 45 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 4: for fourteen when Steph Curry was the primary defender, and 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 4: I think that really is a huge moment for this game, 47 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 4: because early on Steph got in foul trouble again, picked 48 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 4: up three in that first half, and we saw it 49 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 4: time and again. Whoever Steph was defending a lot of 50 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 4: times with Marcus Smart Tatum. 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: Had a couple as well. 52 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: They seemed to be really trying to attack him, knowing 53 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 4: that Steph couldn't be two hands he defensively, but also 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 4: that's his weakness. He's not a great defender. He's not 55 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: a physical big guy. So they just tried to take 56 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 4: advantage of that as best they could. And to score 57 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 4: ten or fourteen attempts is huge here. But the Boston Celtics, look, 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 4: they got off to a really hot start. Jalen Brown 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: was fanatic in that first quarter once again, and you 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: and I, you know, sitting. 61 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: Here watching it. A couple of times. The Warriors really 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: made a push. They took the lead as well. 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: They went up eighty three eighty two on a Steph 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 4: Curry three, but I think that was the only time 65 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 4: they led this game. After that, the Celtics did respond 66 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 4: and that to me is a sign of a very 67 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: very good team that the Warriors kept coming. Klay Thompson 68 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: had a good game, hit some big threes out there 69 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: as well, But every single challenge that the Warriors threw 70 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: at the Celtics, they had an answer, and it tended 71 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 4: to be someone trying to attack stephf someone trying to 72 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: get inside and score a high percentage basket. So really 73 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: really impressive stuff here from the Celtics. 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: They withstood the. 75 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: Third quarter barrage from the Golden State Warriors and they 76 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: take the two to one series lead. 77 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're exactly right. 78 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: The story of the game to me is the Celtics resilience. Obviously, 79 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: they came out, had an incredible first quarter, seventeen for 80 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown in the first quarter, built a huge lead, 81 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: but like you're saying, the Warriors just kept plying back, 82 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: clying back, making things close. You know. I thought Klay 83 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: Thompson was really big for Golden State in the second quarter, 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: first quarter, but scored five quick ones right at the 85 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: end there, and then I think he gave him probably 86 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: ten in the second quarter, keeping him attached. And then 87 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: in the third obviously the Warriors had their classic run. 88 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: They had the huge seven point possession where Curry hits 89 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 1: a three. Al Horford files him, they go to the booth, 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: they review it, he gets called for the Zaza sliding 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: under Curry foul. So he had the very rarely seen 92 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: two attempts to make one shot. 93 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: He made the one. 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: Warriors get the ball Otto Porter Junior then hits a three, 95 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: and to me, that could have been the game. That 96 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: felt like a turning point a little bit for the Warriors, 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: and we've seen so many times in the past when 98 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: they're able to just grab that momentum and keep that momentum. 99 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: But the Celtics once again bounce back. It feels like 100 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: as soon as I tweeted that we got ourselves a game, 101 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: the Warriors just started throwing away the ball. I think 102 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: there was three consecutive turnovers for Curry in the fourth quarter, 103 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: and the Celtics did a great job making the Warriors 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: pay for all of those turnovers. They were able to 105 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: then build another fourth quarter leads. So this one kind 106 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: of played out similar to Game one. Great stuff from 107 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: the Celtics to keep bouncing back. 108 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, their composure I thought was just there. 109 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 4: It was good and Jason Tatum who started off offensively, 110 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: scoring the ball a little bit slowly. I think he 111 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 4: really stood up in the second half and commanded the 112 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 4: ball a lot of times, like very rarely did the 113 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: ball not touch his hands on a key possession there 114 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 4: for the Boston Celtics, and I thought Marcus Smart's decision 115 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: making was also pretty good. 116 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: Also had a huge three that basically sealed it. 117 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: I think we were doing the Vince Carter after that 118 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: three in the corner there with about four and a 119 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 4: half minutes to go, somewhere around that mark, and that 120 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: was a thing they needed. They needed contribution from guys 121 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: who weren't really there for them. In Game two, Smart 122 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 4: wasn't all that good. Al Hawford had a bit of 123 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: a weird game. I mean we saw him, you know, 124 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 4: turn the ball over a couple times, miss those free throws. 125 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 4: You mentioned the flagrant foul there, but I think overall 126 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 4: he was better than he certainly was there in Game two. 127 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 4: Derek White was okay there for the Celtics as well, 128 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: but Jaylen Brown, yeah, great start. Didn't really have a 129 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: huge scoring game after that, but the defense was there, 130 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 4: the intensity was there, had a couple of big dance 131 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: and that was huge, and then then on the flip side, 132 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 4: I think Draymond Green had a terrible game. He was 133 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: really sloppy with the ball, committed some silly fowls. Again, 134 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: he got fouled out on that last one. There had 135 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: a staring competition with the referee trying to sort of 136 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 4: outstair the ref and the ref. I couldn't read his lips, 137 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: but he was basically saying, you fouled out, so you're 138 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: not going to win this battle, So get out if 139 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: you're Draymond. But yeah, look the Warriors come out of 140 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: this one, and they at least get Klay Thompson in 141 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: some sort of return to form, which is key. I 142 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: thought Steph overall was pretty good. Their defense from Boston 143 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: was pretty good there. They just didn't really get that 144 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: third contribution themselves. Wiggans was okay, but that was about it. 145 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 4: There wasn't really much else. Jordan Paul didn't do anything 146 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 4: for them off the bench, so they needed a third 147 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: guy to step up and be able to hit some 148 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: shots and score the ball, and they didn't really get 149 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: that tonight. 150 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely not a great game for Draymond tonight. Just 151 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: one of four scored two points, three assists, two turnovers, 152 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: and this was another one of the not aggressive Draymond 153 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: Green where he's not looking to score inside. 154 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: And yeah, I know. 155 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: People are saying I got a massive echo. It's totally true. 156 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: What can I do? That's how it is, Pierre, But 157 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: Draymond was outplayed I thought by both Horford and Robert Williams. 158 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: Even though Robert Williams had a little bit of a 159 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: short stint, still eight points, ten boards and was massive inside. 160 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: Four blocks led to points in the paint advantage for 161 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: Boston fifty two to twenty six. It ended up being 162 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: and that's kind of the game there. They were more 163 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: aggressive going to the whole they and they obviously were 164 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: able to make it playoff. You mentioned Marcus Smart. I 165 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: thought he was awesome from an intensity standpoint, and then 166 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the fact that he's able to give you three threes, 167 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: twenty four points, five assists. 168 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: You saw him body Curry there in the fourth quarter. 169 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: It just looked like a Celtics physical kind of game. 170 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, And that's it. 171 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: Marcus Smart knows that he knew a couple of times 172 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: there that Steph just couldn't do too much. But even 173 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 4: if Steph wasn't in foul trouble. Marcus Smart's a bigger guy. 174 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: He's able to use his body to just sort of 175 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 4: muscle him out a position a couple of times and 176 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: get some of those good looks around the hoop. 177 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: Though, really good. 178 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: But I also think Robert Williams his impact tonight was 179 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 4: tremendous because we saw him at the start of the 180 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: first quarter and started the third quarter. He gets taken 181 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 4: off about three or four minutes in there, but overall 182 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: when he was out on the court, he finished with 183 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 4: a team best plus twenty one there for the Boston Celtics, 184 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 4: eight points, ten rebounds, three steals, and four blocks, and 185 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 4: he didn't turn the ball over and then four to 186 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 4: five from shooting. He got a couple of hoops in there. 187 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 4: He was really really impactful. Now, I'm not sure if 188 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 4: this is purely just a tactic from Imo Docer as 189 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 4: far as taking him out of the game early, or 190 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 4: if he's just still managing some sort of injury, some 191 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 4: sort of knee ailement or whatever it is there, because 192 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: he would know he's. 193 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: Bad a little bit of that. 194 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: But if they can get that sort of production out 195 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 4: of him tonight, I mean, how many minutes did he 196 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: finish with him. 197 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 2: He played twenty six minutes at the end. 198 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 4: If they can get that out of him, that'd be 199 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: huge because the Warriors didn't really get anything out of 200 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: their bigs there tonight. And again Draymond seemed very clumsy 201 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 4: with the ball a couple of times, and you know, 202 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 4: and we know he won't shoot the ball again. The 203 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: crowd was getting on him. They were shoot it, he 204 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: wouldn't shoot it. The only thing for the crowd here, 205 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 4: they were out of sync with their fuck you Draymond's. 206 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 4: We had a big sort of as the fuck was 207 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: up here. It was a Draymond over there. They couldn't 208 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: quite coordinate that. Maybe you know something about they need 209 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 4: to sink it better for next game. But yeah, Draymond, 210 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 4: I think the crowd got under his skin tonight. He 211 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: just never seemed to get in any sort of groove there. 212 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I made a nice pass to Looney. I 213 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 4: think it was But overall Draymond's impact was not felt 214 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: in a positive way at all from the Warriors. 215 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right. 216 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: The Warriors need big performances from at least three games. 217 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: In every game, staff has to be thirty points a game. 218 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: Which he was tonight, like you're saying, he gave it 219 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: back a little bit under defensive end as he was 220 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: being targeted after the foul trouble. 221 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: Wiggins I thought was aggressive inside. 222 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: At least we saw the best play game yet, which 223 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: is probably the best takeaway from the Warriors for this game. 224 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: But getting nothing from Draymond and it kind of no 225 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: impact from Looney as well, it was gonna be tough 226 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: for the Warriors to win. I mean, they scored twenty 227 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: six points inside. You can shoot as many threes as 228 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: you want, but sometimes you gotta get some buckets inside 229 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: as well. So great win for the Celtics. You called it, 230 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: or asked at least if this was going to be 231 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: a must win game for Boston. I didn't think it 232 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: was a must win game. I said it was a 233 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: must not get blown out game. But now they got 234 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: the w gotta be a must win game for the 235 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors in game four. 236 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, And if you look at statistically historically all that 237 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 4: sort of stuff here, we know that the Celtics drop. 238 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: Home games and the Warriors win road games. 239 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 4: So if that plays out, then it's going to be 240 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 4: a two to two series going back to San Francisco 241 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 4: there for Game five in what on Monday night. I 242 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: think it is because you know, that's that's this is 243 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: the Warriors. This is you know, the road Warriors. They 244 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 4: seem to find a way to win. And again, they 245 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 4: didn't play a bad game overall, they just couldn't get 246 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: the stops. As we've talked about enough time here, Boston 247 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: was able to just keep on getting the scoreboard ticking 248 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 4: over there, and when when the Warriors made their push, 249 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: they just couldn't keep Boston down. And Boston understood, you know, 250 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 4: just someone's just got a score for us. Marcus Smart 251 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: had the crazy banker as well. That was you just 252 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: know when it's your night out there. But look, fascinating 253 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 4: series still and even though Boston, you know, have confirmed 254 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: the advantage of stealing home court away from Golden State, 255 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 4: it's certainly not over. I don't I don't think the 256 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 4: Celtics is going to start the parade celebration either. They 257 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: know that the Warriors have got another punch in them 258 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: for sure. And you know, if Steph doesn't get in 259 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: Foro out of trouble, maybe he's a little bit more 260 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 4: aggressive on the defensive end. And if you don't expect 261 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 4: Draymond to have such a bad game either. And you know, 262 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 4: if Clay has found some form here, this is shaping 263 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 4: up to be an awesome game on Friday Night. 264 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: I can't wait to get back here. 265 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 266 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,119 Speaker 1: Definitely feels like a must win game for the Warriors. 267 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: But like we were coming into this game, the Celtics 268 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: had not and still have not lost back to back 269 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: games yet in the playoffs. Same for the Warriors. They 270 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: bounced back after losses as well. It always seems to 271 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: be that after a loss, the number one adjustment, we 272 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: gotta be a lot more physical out of there. We 273 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: gotta play defense, we gotta get up on them. The 274 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: Celtics were that team tonight. That's why they forced sixteen 275 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: turnovers from the Warriors. That's why they had more second 276 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: chance points, more points in the paint. They were the 277 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: more intense team. And like I think you're like you're 278 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: saying Draymond not being as aggressive as we've seen. Maybe 279 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: the crowd that was in his head, maybe all the 280 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: talk about how things went in Game two was in 281 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: his head. But he wasn't the same guy as Game two. 282 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: And the Warriors kind of need that. They need somebody 283 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a jerk, pushing people around, 284 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: setting the tone and bringing some edge to the game. 285 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: So I imagine that will be the case for Game 286 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: four us. Actually, as we saw here when Draymond filed 287 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: out with a straight up Barty check like cam Neely 288 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: shout out to the Boston Bruins here. Yeah, I was 289 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: researching that during the game. I was like, who's a 290 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: big checker? Because that was a huge check from Dramon. 291 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: So you got to know he's going to bring it 292 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: in Game four, which means the war. The Celtics then 293 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: need to elevate their effort level as well, and that's 294 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: going to come down to Marcus Smart. So Game four 295 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: should be lit. 296 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, just watching Robert Williams there, like 297 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 4: he out hustled and out muscled Draymond a couple of 298 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 4: times on those loose balls, you know, like he was 299 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 4: just his athleticism, his youth, maybe that helped. He was 300 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 4: up there contesting for those, for those rebounds and those 301 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 4: extra balls that often you see Draymond sort of get 302 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 4: those and just corral those. But he wasn't able to tonight. 303 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 4: So look, I haven't seen Draymond yet whether or not 304 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 4: he started his podcast after the game, because we had 305 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 4: to get ours in before him. We didn't want him 306 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 4: to scoop us for a podcast. But yeah, I wonder 307 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: if he will pod tonight. 308 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: Maybe. I don't think so. I think he's probably going 309 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: to get back to the hotel room. 310 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 4: But you know, look, he's the sort of guy though 311 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: that generally he thrives off the crowd energy, you know, 312 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: because he invites it all, he knows what's coming, he 313 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 4: brings it on. He likes to talk a lot of trash. 314 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 4: He likes to talk a lot of smack there. And 315 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 4: he pushed the referees again there tonight, talking a lot. 316 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: He didn't get any tech. 317 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 4: I don't think we had any text actually tonight, which 318 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: is good, good refereeing. 319 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: Again. 320 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 4: I didn't think the rest did anything wrong tonight. I 321 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 4: thought overall, they got it very very very very good. 322 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: I don't remember any sort of egregious bad calls out there. 323 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 4: But Draymond, you know, he likes to play with an edge, 324 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: and he certainly gets that energy from the crowd, but 325 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 4: he wasn't able to channel it for good tonight. 326 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: Instead, he was rattled. 327 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: So be interested to see now how he does respond 328 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 4: here in Game four, because you know, like we saw 329 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 4: during the season, the Warriors without an effective Draymond just 330 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 4: a completely different team. Steph can't get the shots that 331 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 4: he likes, to Clay can't get the shots he likes. 332 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: And you know, other than that, they also need someone else, 333 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 4: whether it's a Jordan Pool, whether it's an Otto Porter, 334 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 4: whoever that is Wiggins, they need someone else to be 335 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 4: able to chip in fifteen to twenty points. 336 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: I think because Steph he did his job, Play. 337 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 4: Did his job tonight, but you just you kept wondering 338 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 4: where the extra offense was going to come from because 339 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: those two, as much as they were doing, they just 340 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: couldn't do it all. 341 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Warriors seem to be stuck on one hundred 342 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: points here, basically one hundred and eight I think in 343 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: Game one, one oh seven in Game two, and then 344 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: one hundred tonight. So they seem to be pretty consistent 345 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: with their scoring. You almost know what you're going to 346 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: be getting from the Warriors, whereas the on the flip side, 347 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: the Celtics have been up and down with their scoring. 348 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: So it looks like we're setting up for an awesome 349 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: Game four here on Friday. Lee, can't wait, but let's 350 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: talk about some of the stuff that didn't happen on 351 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: the court. 352 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 3: We got to meet chieve today Lee. 353 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: That was pretty exciting and as promised, he brought me 354 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: the biggest greenest hat you could possibly imagine. 355 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: That is so cool. 356 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 4: And I have to say meeting Chief it was great. 357 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: It was even better than I thought.

It 360 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 4: was like an old friend stopping by, like, hey, Jeeves. 361 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 4: We had a nice bro hug, we had a nice chat, 362 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 4: we had a few stories. 363 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 3: You got a hat. 364 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 2: I've got my hat here too. 365 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 4: Let me see if I can make this work without 366 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 4: making it too messy here because he brought me a hat. 367 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, you were using your hat as your computer stand. 368 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. 369 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: Mine's unfortunately got a little bit of a curve to it, 370 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: so I. 371 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: Couldn't Trey Curvey.

I don't think anybody realized that. Part of the 383 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: reason I asked for a gigantic green hat is because 384 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: I also have a gigantic head, So you might want 385 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: this one to pit on your head that you can 386 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: cry it from my head. 387 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 3: You come and get it, Lee.

Most did that 404 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 5: I was a failure And now the same motherfuckers asking 405 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 5: me for do and I'm yelling, I can't help you, Nellie. 406 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: Can we get to the next show? 407 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: Hell no, are you for real?

Tonight, trying to 450 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: do it in my best. 451 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: Ross Oakley, former CEO of the Australian Football League, voice 452 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 4: here because I think I'm ready for the moment. Boston 453 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: Celtics one vote, Jay Brown Boston Celtics two votes. M 454 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 4: Smart Boston Celtics, three votes, Jay Tatum Interesting. 455 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: Interesting, I love the format. 456 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we've got a true Aussie here who 457 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: actually knows the way the brown Low Medal goes down. 458 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: I love the revealing of the votes. We're definitely gonna 459 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: have to change that going forward. But I would have 460 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: the same three players, but almost in a completely different order. 461 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: I would probably go one vote Jalen Brown. No, I 462 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: would go one vote Jason Tatum, despite the fact that 463 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: he did leave the Celtics in scoring finished I guess not. 464 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: He finished with twenty six nine assists. He wasn't super 465 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: efficient inside the arc, in particulars him to kind of 466 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: panic in the lane a few times, but still ended 467 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: up putting together a pretty solid second half. I would 468 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: probably go Jalen Brown two votes. Twenty seven points five assists, 469 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: but he had seventeen of those in the first quarter. 470 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: That was obviously huge for the Celtics. 471 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: Building a big time lead, but he didn't do quite 472 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: as much as the game went on, and then I 473 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: just thought Smart brought so much to the table. He 474 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: would be my three votes guy, but as you are 475 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: the Aussie. 476 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with yours. 477 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: So we're going Tatum three votes, Brown, two votes, Smart 478 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: one vote. 479 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 3: Is that right? 480 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 5: No? 481 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: I think I had Brown as one, Smart as two. 482 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 4: I said Brown one, Smart two, Tatum freetu three. That's 483 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 4: fair and the reason the reason I went with Tatum. 484 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 4: You're right, he's scoring a shooting He was nine for 485 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 4: twenty three tonight, but I'm gonna give him a pass 486 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 4: for that because I just like the way he commanded 487 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: the ball several times in the second half there where 488 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 4: it felt to me like again, very few possessions where 489 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: he was on the court it didn't at least touch 490 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 4: his hands at some point, And I think that to 491 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 4: me is a big sign because when you're the best 492 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: player on your team, you just want to make sure 493 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 4: you're involved, even if you're not shooting the ball, doing 494 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: something else, making other guys involved. Marcus Smart, he was fantastic. 495 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 4: And Jalen Brown, I mean it was Jaln Brown's three 496 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: votes certainly after the first quarter. Thought he was a 497 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 4: little bit quiet there in the sort of mid two quarters, 498 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 4: and then he closed out the game pretty well. But 499 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: I mean, you certainly can throw these guys up in 500 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 4: any order. But yeah, Brown, Smart, Tatum for me as 501 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 4: in the one, two. 502 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: Three, Yeah, as we're talking about it now, you can 503 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: see the clear difference in the game tonight. Great performances 504 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: from three stars for the Celtics doing exactly what they 505 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: needed to do. Twenty five plus from both Tatum and Brown, 506 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: not to mention the assists they were dishing out, combining 507 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: for fourteen assists and then the other and Marcus Smart 508 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: showing up with a cool twenty four five assists. A 509 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: lot of people are mentioning, Yeah, he did turn the 510 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: ball over quite a bit. I thought he had a 511 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: strange third quarter where he was just a little bit 512 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: too concerned with trying to pick up another file for 513 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, which kind of led to then him playing 514 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: a bit out of control. But once he once he 515 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: found a balance, he was great. I thought, So you 516 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: get three performances like that from three of your best players, 517 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: you got a good shot. And that wasn't exactly what 518 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: the Warriors got tonight, so we shall see. We'll update 519 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: the standings after this. 520 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is this is great. I just can't believe. 521 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: I'm feeling like my two worlds are coming together here 522 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 4: where I grew up following the AFL Australi and Football 523 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 4: League of course, and now I've finally brought the Brown 524 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 4: No Metal to the No Dunks Finals and this is 525 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 4: just great. 526 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, it's what. 527 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to reach out to Ross Oakley see 528 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 4: if anyone out there knows him and see if he 529 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 4: can maybe read out some votes for us, because he 530 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,479 Speaker 4: always had a great personality, Ross, very charming, charismatic CEO. 531 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 4: He's been out of the game for a while, but 532 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: I know he still goes on podcasts and everything. So 533 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: if anyone knows Ross, put him in touch with me. 534 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: Sounds great, sounds like we got a few more games 535 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: at least until we would need to get in touch 536 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: with Ross Oakley for him to like give the final 537 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: stand for the Russell Watch MVP. But I saw here, 538 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: hold on, let me scroll up here as I'm dancing 539 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: and tap dancing here. Somebody did the math here. Andy 540 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: Tollman did the mouth on the Russell watch for us 541 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: the totals through three games Jalen Brown four, Jason Tatum 542 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: for Steph Curry four, Al Horford three from that huge 543 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: game one pool with two and Marcus Smart with two 544 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: points as well. 545 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: That's that's great. 546 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 4: I mean this is exactly what we want. I mean, 547 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 4: a close series, tight series. Any team can win it. 548 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 4: Any player can go on to win that. And what 549 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 4: we now have to do on the brownlwe night as well. 550 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 4: Throughout the night they have what they call is like 551 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 4: predicted to pole or projected to poll, So who we 552 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 4: think is going to get votes in the next game 553 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 4: and then you sort of can you know, match it 554 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 4: up to that after the game, like you expect obviously, 555 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 4: you know Steph to get a vote. You expect someone 556 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 4: like a Brown or Tatum, you expect, So someone else 557 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 4: is going to have to miss out here. We could 558 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 4: have a man, we could have a super super close 559 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 4: race the uh for the Bill Russell in finals MVP. 560 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: This is awesome. 561 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that race is tight as well. As you saw 562 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: from the totals, the series is tight as well. It 563 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like this was a complete statement game where 564 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: the series feels over the Warriors should bounce back should 565 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: be an awesome game for On Friday, Lee, you said 566 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: you felt like your worlds were coming together with the 567 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: Brownlow Metal making its way to No Dunks.
