Speaker 1: Excuse me, JD. We start with the pit. Are you

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: down with PI T Yeah? You know meh. The pit

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: is lit. That's what we're calling the play in Tournament

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: from now on. Everybody joining us on the live stream

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: watch party last night the pit. Want to start, We'll

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: go to Charlotte. LaMelo Ball made a layup with under

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: five seconds left in overtime. And Miles Bridges blocked Davion

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: Mitchell's layup attempt at the buzzer as the Hornets beat

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Miami one six in a wild, wild game, so the

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Heat have been eliminated from the playoffs. This game had

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: absolutely everything TK. We were going nuts like ten different times.

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: Man, what a game?

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Where do you want to start with this one?

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.

28
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: Everything happened to this game. It felt like every player

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: made the big play when they needed to make a

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: big play. I was so impressed by the hornets resilience

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: to have such a poor shooting first half in particular,

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: and keep firing away, keep firing away, keep firing away.

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: Guys like Brandon Miller shakes off a bad first half

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: to turn in a pretty solid game. Lamello really really

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: up and down, including a brutal turnover late in overtime

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: followed by a three point foul on Tyler Hero there

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: in the corner. It's looking bad for the Hornets, but

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: LaMelo puts his head down, gets to the rim and

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: finishes a tough game winning layup and the awesome block

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: on the other end by the Hornets as well. It

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: was just an awesome game. To watch, Like, I guess

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: the Duke Yukon game was probably this exciting as well.

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: But this was the best game of March Madness and

44
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: it was the April PI T.

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: Who knew that the p I T would come through?

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Is this PI T better or the pit the show

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: PI double great show? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean,

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: this is a great start to the p I T.

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: There's no doubt. It was wild the whole thing. I

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: do want to start with LaMelo Ball pulling the foot

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: of bam Adebio and dropping the guy and injuring him. Yeah,

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: that's what happened. Bam Adabaiba was going to fall on

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: his butt, but the way LaMelo Ball grabbed his foot

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: and gyanked him, he obviously went down on his ass

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: even harder. Something happened where he couldn't return in the

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: game and obviously really really tough dude in the second

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: quarter was hobbling off and wasn't able to return for

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: the rest of the game. So you say a lot

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: of resilience from the Hornets, but also a ton of

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: resilience from the Heat side that this was such a

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: good game to do it without bam ade Bio. Daviian

62
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: Mitchell Andrew Wigans will get into all that, but ridiculously,

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: and I don't know if he had to go to

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: the pit and be seen by the emergency crew there,

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: because I thought he was going to fight through because

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: he was literally able to walk off. But whatever's happening there,

67
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: it was amplified by the Lamello ball grabbing of his

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: foot and yankin the guy down Aero.

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: Spolstrop pissed after the game too, said LaMelo should have

70
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: been ejected for that trip on bam like you're saying

71
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: early in the second quarter which led to him being

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: knocked out because of the whatever his ass was sore,

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: his tailboat, his lower back. It's all connected, you know,

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Like Lis Spolster didn't make it clear, like you know,

75
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: we had chances to this game. We should have won

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: this game. We get stops, we pull it out. But

77
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: what do you think about him really for Spolster going

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: in on this idea of like, of course it wasn't

79
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: reviewed too, and I know the referees said, well we

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: couldn't because play continued. He saved it, there was a

81
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: fast break and then all that crap. But do you

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: think LaMelo ball could be suspended for the next game

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: on Friday night. There's some buzz or some talk about that.

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: What do you think is that too far or what's

85
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: your guy?

86
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: I think there will be a retroactive punishment because something

87
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: should have happened in the moment. But I guess because

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: it was right in front of the referee, he wasn't

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 3: looking straight down to see what was going on with

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: LaMelo and Bam. I don't think it will be a

91
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: suspension though. The first thing I thought of seeing it

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: was Matthew dela Vedova locking up TODJ. Gibson's ankle. I

93
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: think this was during the twenty fifteen playoffs. Todge gets

94
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: really mad. He gets ejected for going at dela Vedova,

95
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 3: but after the game, Delhi eventually got a technical added.

96
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: I could see maybe that happening for LaMelo in the

97
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: here before they play again, or maybe a flagrant one

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: kind of like when I guess that was Draymond threw

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: down Dematus Matta Hunis. That's a guy's name, right, Remember this,

100
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: He picked up a post game flagrant foul, which is

101
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: why it all added up and he ended up getting suspended.

102
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: During the NBA Finals, that was a play where he

103
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: was just like tangentially involved in the play, chucked him.

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: They saw it afterwards and they're like, oh, that was bad.

105
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: You get a flagrant. That's similar to what happened with

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: LaMelo here. So I don't think he would have gotten

107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 3: ejected from the game if the rest called it immediately,

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: but he definitely would have gotten a flagrant foul. And

109
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: there's definitely had an impact on the game because a

110
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: lot of offensive rebounds for the Hornets. I thought khalil

111
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: Ware played incredibly well. I thought he really stepped up.

112
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: But it also ended up being the second time into

113
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: his career that he's ever played more than forty minutes

114
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: in a game, and you could tell he was struggling

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 3: by the end of this one. Just looked at step slow,

116
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: out of position, given up layups that maybe he doesn't

117
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: give up in the middle of the third quarter, or

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: if he gets to rest or if the Heat have

119
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: another backup big that they could throw in to relieve

120
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: him a little. So this definitely was part of the

121
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: game story, like this is one of the biggest parts

122
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: of the entire thing because it had a huge impact.

123
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. Wow, I didn't know we get

124
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: at Demantes monte Yunis mentioned. I mean, I guess Draymond

125
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Green's hurt every Demontis in the league. He also stepped

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: on Demantes Sebonis's chest later in his career. But there's

127
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: so many things for the heat. I thought, Jima Hawk

128
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: is just missing a free throw at thirty seconds left

129
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: when it could have been them up five, before Brandon

130
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: Miller drops that big three to make it a one

131
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: point game and instead of being a two point game

132
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: if Hock has hits that shot, and then it's different.

133
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: Before Kobe White hits the three, so very different. Yeah,

134
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: the Heat just didn't come through with these little tiny things.

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: But Brandon Miller, I thought hitting that three was so big.

136
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: The roller coaster of a couple hornets was very different.

137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: Konka Nipple obviously didn't have a very good night at all,

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: while Brandon Miller stunk in the first half.

139
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: Yes, he got foul trouble right away.

140
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he in the first half. He played under ten

141
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: minutes in the first half, he goes to the locker

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: room and is a new guy coming out in the

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: second half. He was able to flow through it, while

144
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: con unfortunately was not, and you could see Charles Lee

145
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: of the Hornets. He tried to get Conkor Nipple going

146
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: because he called that first time out early in this

147
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: game it was eleven to ten because LaMelo Ball wasn't

148
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: playing defense, and in part, hey LaMelo, you want to

149
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: play defense and not just let David Mitchell go by you,

150
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: but also the call out of the time out, the

151
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: play was Conkor Nipple's first shot has to happen a

152
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: few minutes into this game. So Conkor Nipple came out

153
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: and shot that three. He missed, but there was an

154
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: effort to get him going and it never really worked out.

155
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: You saw him in the midway through the fourth as

156
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: the Heat were making their run. He got into the

157
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: mid range and that's a Conkin Nipple layup, but he

158
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: passed out. He just wasn't feeling it at all. He

159
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: just couldn't go.

160
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: He got in his head because he couldn't hit these shots. Yeah,

161
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: every three point was long, every single one was off

162
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: to the back of the rim. But you're right that

163
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: one in the middle of the paint was a wide chop,

164
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: but it was it was in his head. He's like,

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: I got I don't have it. And credit to Charles

166
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: Leefer going away from him. Yeah, stretch, he did not play.

167
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Kobe White saved the Hornets. We'll get to him,

168
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: I know, the pit master as we're now calling Kobe White.

169
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: And then you know, there's a lot of Grant Williams

170
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: at the end and the two situations probably too much.

171
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: But he went away from con because he's like, well,

172
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: the guy can' hit a shot, and he looks a

173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: little rattled. He seemed to be grimacing every time they

174
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: showed him on the bench too. I don't know if

175
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: there was an injury or something, but you know, some

176
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: some coaches aren't doing that. Go away from the guy

177
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: that leads the league in three pointers. Yeah, but he's like,

178
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't have it tonight. And at least we have

179
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: another guy's a couple other guys on the bench I

180
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: have more confidence in.

181
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was Grima Singer, just he's

182
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: a fair skinned kid who's got like red cheeks all

183
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: over the place.

184
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: He's a pink guy.

185
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: He just looks red all the time. He just simply yeah,

186
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: he couldn't get it going. He wasn't forcing it by

187
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: any means. I don't think it was the heat, taking

188
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: away his space and all that. I couldn't buy that.

189
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I jumped over to the Amazon Prime to

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: see what they were saying about conkorin Nipple, and Dirk

191
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 2: was breaking it down to some degree like they were

192
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: taking his space away. But he just had He just

193
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: wasn't right.

194
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: But this wasn't a one off either. He hasn't been

195
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: able to shoot for like he's probably hit like a

196
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, like a rookie wall where

197
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: it's like he's never played this many games in his game.

198
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 3: Here the way that a rookie season goes, it's like

199
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: they finished March Madness, they go into draft prep immediately,

200
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: then they're playing in summer league, and then they're playing

201
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: now into the middle of April. Yeah, he's probably tired him.

202
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: Maybe the lights were a little bit too bright. I

203
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: still would have rather had him out there.

204
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Than Grant Williams.

205
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they decided Grant was hitting, you know, no, yeah.

206
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: No, But Kobe White, let's talk about him. Nineteen points,

207
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: five boards, three assists, and Trey you jumped on in

208
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: the second half for the watch party, and that's when

209
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: Kobe White went nuns. He's like, oh, Bulls fans here,

210
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's go. I've played in these playing games before.

211
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: He was in crazy like he just hit like a

212
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: bunch of threes and suddenly the Hornets were back in

213
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the lead. And then he hits the one to force overtime,

214
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: which was amazing, where he just comes screaming around on

215
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: the side. They had talked, I'm sure in the huddle

216
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: about like they might foul us, we might get the

217
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: situation where like we're trailing by three, the Miami put

218
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: us on the line here to play the whole free

219
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: throw game, so let's just go for the shot right away.

220
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: He did bang a ho shot it like a buzzer beater. Yeah,

221
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: he caught it, turned and fired it up. His feet

222
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: weren't facing the basket. He was completely off balance. And

223
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: that was like ten seconds left, not one second left.

224
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: Him playing as well as he did in the second half.

225
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 3: Is why it was okay for Charles Lee to sit

226
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: con down on the bench because somebody else actually had

227
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: it going. And Kobe hit exclusively tough three pointers last night.

228
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 3: The first one he gets is on a Brandon Miller

229
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: tip out, as if it were an outlet pass goes

230
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: right to him, knocks it down. Then he banked into three.

231
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: Then Pela Larson gets a rebound, just falls over. Oh yeah,

232
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: goes right to Kobe. He steps into it, knocks it down.

233
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Then we talked about the shot clock beat right at

234
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: the end of the third quarter or I guess right

235
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: at the end of the fourth quarter before they were

236
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: gonna foul. He completely surprised them. That was just a

237
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: smart way to play it because they were definitely going

238
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: to foul. Kobe White has been eliminated by the Miami

239
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: Heat in the previous three play in tournaments.

240
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: He said, not today revenge.

241
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: That was some script writing to see Kobe White do

242
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: that at the end of regulation, back to the basket,

243
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: turned around from three point line, and then Tyler hero

244
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: To do virtually the same thing at the end of overtime,

245
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: which was fantastic. But the scriptwriting, I thought. Even Kobe

246
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: White in the third quarter when he got it going

247
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 2: that one where he banked it home, obviously didn't mean

248
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: to do that. But then Pelly Larson like he just

249
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: fell in the backcourt to give Kobe White the ball

250
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: again to be able to line up a three after

251
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: the one he banked home, So that one goes down

252
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: and then at the end of the third quarter of

253
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: the mellow balls saying, Kobe White, you take it one

254
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: second left at the end of the third quarter, you

255
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 2: shoot it, dude, and he hit it home, so he

256
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: caught fire. Without him, they obviously don't win the game.

257
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: It was just so fun to see all these hornets contribute,

258
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: especially on a night when coachin Nipple didn't have a

259
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: going That's right.

260
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: Diabate huge on the glass. I think eight offensive rebounds

261
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: in the end, fourteen total boards. You know, he's not

262
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: out there to score, but he's out there to go

263
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: ageat of those extra possessions. He was big. It pains

264
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: me to say this, but maybe the best game of

265
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Miles Bridges' career. He was good.

266
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: He is the onion meme. It's heartbreaking. The worst person

267
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: in the world just had a great game.

268
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: Twenty eight points, nine boards. He was active. He was active,

269
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: and what a block to he guy for that thing.

270
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Like we were like, obviously we were a little confused

271
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: because the broadcast on Amazon was showing a timeout. We're like,

272
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: hold on, what's going on? Why aren't the heat calling

273
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: a timeout? SVG was all over it, though Mitchell pushes it,

274
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: pushed it, pushes it. It's like, holy crap, He's gonna

275
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: get there because he had had a great game, fast

276
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: as lightning. He can hit those tough shots where he's

277
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: like screaming at the net, but he can kiss it high.

278
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: But Bridges and Miller obviously challenging as well. What a

279
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: fascinating way imagine Eric Collins. His head would have exploded

280
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: if he was on the call on that one.

281
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, was he in the building, Like, I

282
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean we saw dal Curry a lot.

283
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: You can imagine Er Collins at least goes to the

284
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: came after eighty two games and is he's just sitting

285
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 3: in the stands doing his thing, yelling Hum Diddley D.

286
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

287
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: Maybe if you had Eric Collins sitting next to you, you

288
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: would be yelling hum Diddley D as well, you know,

289
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: And I guess this is exactly what Mike Breen is

290
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: talking about. Everybody would have flipped over to watch the

291
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: Hornets broadcast of US.

292
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Hey an Eagle and and Stan were great, you know, absolute,

293
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: But also doesn't Eric Collins.

294
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: Work for Prime? He does, right, that is true.

295
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: I think that's who he works.

296
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Maybe they were like, he'll be too biased, Yeah, too much,

297
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: but wow, he would have been going.

298
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think, like Brine is specifically talking about

299
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 2: the playoffs, that the local broadcasts don't have the playoffs,

300
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: but I guess they don't have the play in either,

301
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: because yeah, yeah, yeah last year. I'm trying to think

302
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: if the local guys had to play in or that

303
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: was either way, yes, air Colls would have been great. They

304
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: kept showing Del Curry eating his snacks and the crowd

305
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: he was just chopping. What do you think he was eating?

306
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: Hard?

307
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was meaty.

308
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: We like at first it's like, oh, he's chomping on popcorn,

309
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: but he was really grinding. Was like the stalest popcorn

310
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: of all the time. What he was eating? What do

311
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: you think Curry was eating? The Heat went to a

312
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: zone there in the fourth quarter and it was basically

313
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: working because Charlotte just kept shooting threes. They went four

314
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: to seventeen from behind the line in the final twelve minutes.

315
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: A lot of their fourth quarter three point attempts were

316
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: like they would like pump fake and a Heat guy

317
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: would fly by, and then they would reset, and then

318
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: then they would take an open shop they just couldn't

319
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: hit them. But you're like at a certain point, like, okay,

320
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: a guy just blew by you, mate, maybe maybe go

321
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: in man, maybe attack a little bit, and you got

322
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: the numbers advantage. But they just kept letting it fly.

323
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: They went eighteen for fifty six from deep thirty two percent.

324
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: But this is this is their mo this is how

325
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: they've played all season long. They shoot a lot of threes,

326
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: they generally hit a lot of threes, but they struggled

327
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: that night.

328
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: Yes, LaMelo balls taking thirty one shots. I thought I

329
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: coming into the play and I thought, Okay, Steph Curry's

330
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: going to shoot thirty plus shots, being that the Warriors

331
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: need somebody to shoot. But no, here comes LaMelo, who's

332
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: ready to just a fire. And I do want to

333
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: at least point out the fact that early in this

334
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: game I thought Konk Nipple could have been involved more.

335
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: You know, he took eleven shots in this game, and

336
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't think he was involved. You're right, that's their

337
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: m O. Up top, Here comes the mellow ball. There's

338
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: a pick flare for Brandon Miller in this case. A

339
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: lot of the night usually it's conka niple to get

340
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: involved and he was just in the corner, just hanging out,

341
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: and I thought he could have been involved more. He

342
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: was pointing. He's like, Okay, give it to that guy

343
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: up top so he can swing it over here to

344
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: me when they close out on him. I need to

345
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: be involved. He wasn't, And I think that's exactly why

346
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: Charles Lee said get that guy involved on that first

347
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: shot that I'm calling a timeout to help out not

348
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: only the LaMelo ball defense, but either way. You know,

349
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: Kobe White was awesome off the bench to really produce

350
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: when conkor Nipple didn't, so they got enough done. Was

351
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: it was fun because, like you mentioned, diabade those offensive

352
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: boards after offensive board, they just had guys just fighting.

353
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: That place was buzzing. Unfortunately, you know, Eric Collins wasn't there,

354
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: but in Charlotte it felt like it felt like the

355
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: playoff game. I mean, everybody was standing. It felt like

356
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: it felt loud. So the guys came through, the guys

357
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: came through, and then on the other side, you know,

358
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: the Wiggins and the Daveian Mitchell, they were fighting hard

359
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: and oh.

360
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: God, yeah, sure games. It was so entertaining. Unfortunate for Amazon,

361
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: we had a technical difficulty late in the game in overtime,

362
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: like very late in the game, when this game was nuts,

363
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: and suddenly we got the black screen. Everybody got the

364
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: black screen if you were watching on Amazon Prime. And

365
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: then they put up the technical difficulties and you got

366
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: the little music like you were on hold with your

367
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: bank or something like that. It's so fun lasted. I

368
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: don't know what it lasts. It felt like an eternity.

369
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: It was probably like forty five seconds. But we come

370
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: back and we see, oh, the Hornets did score, and

371
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: then we saw the replays like, oh, I think LaMelo

372
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: ball got away with a travel on that one. He

373
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: slow stepped it and then did a little tiny little

374
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: bunny hop with that one foot, but they counted it

375
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: and obviously he had the game winner at the end,

376
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: which was an awesome play call to the way they

377
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: had him screaming around and like he caught it on

378
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: the fly and just kept turning, just pivoting with Hawkes

379
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: there on his hip and got to the room. It

380
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: was a great great design play and great play by LaMelo.

381
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: Just attack right away, not get it set up, you know,

382
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: obviously see what the situation is on defense. No, he

383
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: just go just scream go to the net.

384
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: He made two of the biggest shots for the Hornets,

385
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: and I hear people like Duncan on his game because

386
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: he took thirty one shots.

387
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: He did.

388
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a really bad turnover. He also had

389
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: three turnovers on the night, ten assists. They don't win

390
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: this game without LaMelo, yeah, taking charge in emptying the clip.

391
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: He almost had. The biggest choke job was he got

392
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: away with it with coming through with the revenge, but

393
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: the throwaway where he was panicking, I think because he

394
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: think he got in his head that the eight second

395
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: violation was about to happen. It was getting close. Yeah,

396
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: it was close for sure, six or seven seconds. So

397
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: he had to get over half court because the heat

398
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: were pressing them. And then you know, he obviously tried

399
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: to make the passing in the front court. Larson was

400
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: all over it, and then he fouled obviously Hero in

401
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: the corner and he did I mean, we didn't get

402
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: great replays on that, but he hit him in the

403
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: head and LaMelo even admitted, oh yeah, I screwed that

404
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: one up. So it wasn't looking good there for a seconds, like,

405
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: oh wow, they really blew this. They gave it away,

406
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: but then he made the plays down stretch.

407
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: He did, he did. I obviously Melo needed to be

408
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: good to win this game. I did want to see

409
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 2: other guys get involved a little bit more. And that's why,

410
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: in a crazy way, the Portland Phoenix game that we'll

411
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: get to was a little bit more of a team

412
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: effort than than this one because LaMelo, I think, wanted

413
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: to shine in this game, and he got the guys.

414
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: Get for twenty.

415
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: Basically, yeah, I'm Kobe finished with nineteen, but close enough.

416
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was awesome.

417
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: One guy was bad.

418
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: Con Hm. Yeah, I just think he could have got.

419
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: Sehn have a good game too, But he did not.

420
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: Know I want to, I know, I'm not. I don't

421
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: know if COM's fingertips or whatever the heck was happening

422
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: with him could have been more. He just could have

423
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: been more involved. I don't know if his form again

424
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: was was off or he was just off. But LaMelo

425
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: coming out right out the gate, just continuing to shoot again.

426
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: I think charlesle was like, hey, we got to get

427
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: our other guy involved. We need four guys shooting on

428
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: this team. Diabante doesn't ever has to shoot, but the

429
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: other guys have to and I just want to see

430
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: more of a more of a team game, that's all.

431
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: That's all.

432
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Obviously, obviously LaMelo was going to shoot thirty times this game.

433
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: When he was cooking to start the game. He was

434
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: on fire at the beginning, and it was obviously he

435
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: couldn't had a three to save his life. His weird

436
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: looking shot. The guy just plays like he's fifteen years

437
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: old still, he really does. Yeah, he's like a six

438
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: seven year pro. He plays like he's fifteen, and it's

439
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: actually hilarious. It's he's unique. You gotta give him that.

440
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: He's a polarizing player, for sure. He makes some boneut

441
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: of plays he takes. When he misses shots, that's the thing.

442
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: When he misses shots, You're like, well, that was the

443
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: stupidest shot I've ever seen, just because of his form

444
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: really and how he takes it and where he takes

445
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: it and is one footed, and like it looks bad

446
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: when he misses, but he kept shooting through it and

447
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: he made. Obviously the play of the game at the.

448
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: End was it a travel on his sort of side

449
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: step thing when he got to the baseline and kind

450
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: of was on his left foot.

451
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was.

452
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really hard to tell.

453
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I thought he hopped on it. Yeah, okay,

454
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: the slow play one where we miss. Basically, he's a

455
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: technical difficulty. I only saw the replay, don't Actually no, it.

456
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: Was hilarious that Amazon booped out. It's funny because I

457
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: watched this leak pass the entire thing. The feed was fine,

458
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Then I tried to watch Portland Phoenix

459
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: on leak pass today and the only thing I could

460
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: watch was the Spanish game. I started calling it and

461
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: I started hearing Spanish low suns, low suns, So I

462
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: had to click over unless I wanted to watch low

463
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: suns against those Blazers. I had to click over to

464
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: the Amazon Prime map, which worked really well.

465
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: They got replays on there, like you can watch last

466
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: night's game.

467
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: That's good, the full full game, full on game.

468
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: They do need to fix their audio issue, and this

469
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: has been a thing going on all season long. It's

470
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: off like you can hear Eagle is like either Eagle

471
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: can see the future and maybe he can games. It's

472
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: like you hear like a big basket, especially you hear

473
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: a bit of the pop of the crowd, and Eagle

474
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: even calling it at times before you see it, it's

475
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: like just off. But I mean, Wob's been all over

476
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: this all season long, and I think the hope was, well,

477
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: they'll get it fixed for the for the playing games,

478
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: for the pit for the postseason, and they haven't. It's

479
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: still there. Wasn't as bad for you and me. I

480
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: felt like Trey with the watch party in the second

481
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: screen experience. I didn't notice it as badly last night,

482
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: but a lot of people on Twitter are like, what

483
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: the hell? This is like the ultimate spoiler audio spoiler

484
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: every play not good? Also, what do you think of

485
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: the prime playmaker chain that they're handing out after every game?

486
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Lamello got the first one, Cassidy Hubberth. I was excited

487
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: to give it to him. Lamello was pumped, Can I

488
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: keep it? Cassidy Hubberth had to look back at a producer.

489
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, Canny, Canny keep this? How

490
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: many we got these things? Do you have an opinion

491
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: opinion on this? Nice super.

492
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 2: I was surprised that he was super excited to get

493
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: it because I thought that ain't diamonds. Those those aren't

494
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: that's the diamonds. Those those aren't super nice. That's Cubic

495
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Sarconia is LaMelo. I think you can go ford buy

496
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: something just as nice. It is cool that the plays

497
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: are literally shown from the game that you just played

498
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: in on that thing. Well that part, but.

499
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: It was funny when she first handed it to him.

500
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: The play was davy On Mitchell crossing Lamello Bulls.

501
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, swiped it off?

502
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: Did she swipe it?

503
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: I was like, I wonder if they programmed multiple players here,

504
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: because we got to make a decision right away, right

505
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: This was a game that was down to the buzzer,

506
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: So was it going to davy On Mitchell if they win?

507
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: Well and we never see it on the scroll. I

508
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: thought a lot about this, and I think it's awesome. Okay,

509
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: you like it? Yeah, I think this is a really,

510
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: really great idea, and I'm glad that the first guy

511
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: to get one is little like the perfect guy. He

512
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: should wear it into the next pick game. M Oh yeah, okay,

513
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: if you need to keep it, I assume he did well.

514
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean Danny Avdy got one later in the night.

515
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: They gave that one to him in the in the hallway.

516
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: I think Damian Lillard bestowed it upon her.

517
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: So Anyway, I don't think it had Lamello's game winner

518
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: on there. I don't think Amazon had the technology to

519
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: make it happen that fast that he just hid the

520
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: game winner and then you could see the plays on

521
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: there from earlier in the game. So I'm sure it'll

522
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: get reprogrammed.

523
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: Cassidy mistakenly said, yeah, the players are. It's live on

524
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: there right now. She said that, and I was like, oh,

525
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: this will be hilarious if it is actually live. It'll

526
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: be you interviewing LaMelo on the chain. It's not really

527
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: excited for a second, but she meant, and she meant,

528
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: just the highlights quick turned around here.

529
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I thought maybe they might cut out to

530
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: full screen of the highlights they're showing on that thing

531
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: as it was happening. Yeah, okay, it happened.

532
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: But you're you're on board.

533
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: I'm super on board. I think this is really really great,

534
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: and I think they should keep it up for whatever.

535
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: Series they get.

536
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: Going further into the first round, and look, you could

537
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: tell this was not a Victor Solomon production because it

538
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: looked interesting, a little different. Yeah, yeah, a little different.

539
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: I think Mike Kaplan made that.

540
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: I bet it was this idea. He's got incredible swag.

541
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: All right, So, thanks to a scheduling conflict in Philadelphia,

542
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: the Hornets get an extra day of rest. This is

543
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: my favorite part of this game. This was just to

544
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: play again on Friday night.

545
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 3: It's a great point.

546
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: That was the biggest win in Hornet's history in a

547
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: very long time, basically a deck since they were actually

548
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So they're going to play the loser

549
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: of tonight's Magic seventy six ers game on Friday, Horner

550
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: to win that game. They're in the playoffs for the

551
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: first time since twenty sixteen. Did we ever get an

552
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: update on a colonoscopy? Guy?

553
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: He didn't go and he's mad.

554
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: He's mad. Yeah.

555
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: He was responding to a lot of people in the

556
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 3: Reddit thread yesterday saying, I will never trust Reddit again.

557
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 3: You told me not to go to the game. But

558
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: the prep wasn't that bad?

559
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: Well, JD, I mean that's a maybe a bit of

560
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: a shot at you too. You were definitely saying do

561
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: not go.

562
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but he didn't hear me say that, you know, No.

563
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: JD was advocating going to the game. Yeah, and rescheduled.

564
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: I think a it would have been worth the one

565
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: thousand dollars rescheduling the kolonoscopy fee, and it would have

566
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: been worth not rescheduling. Going anyways and pooping your pants

567
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: in public like that would be a great story to

568
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: tell your kids. You should get a chain for that.

569
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: I pulled my pants game.

570
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: Sure.

571
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he said the prep wasn't all that bad.

572
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: That's why he was. He was saying everybody exaggerated and

573
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: how bad it was going to be. That's what he said.

574
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm still different. Yeah, yees. So he would have been

575
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: totally fine if he was in a suite which had

576
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: a toilet in that suite. If you would have been

577
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: able to make that, well, I don't think he would

578
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: have been charged out at all. Think he could have

579
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: consulted with the Hornets ownership and.

580
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: Just pull up NBA teams now and say, hey, I

581
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: really need a sweet. My cats all over me a sweet.

582
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: I'll try that, man.

583
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I'm gonna be shitting in then the suite,

584
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: like most of the time, by the one toilet in

585
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: the suite, I'm going to be in there shipping my guts.

586
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Okay, she's a TV in the area.

587
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: This is an opportunity for a place like Real Sports,

588
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: where they have televisions in the bathrooms. They'd be like,

589
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: if you have a pholonosophy, the next day, come and

590
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: watch the game at Real Sports.

591
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: Should have made it happen. This team doesn't make the

592
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: playoffs at all. They could have made this a story,

593
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: even if it's not a sweet. As I said yesterday,

594
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: you get him right beside one of the tunnels. You

595
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 2: could just leave and go directly to toy within forty steps.

596
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: You know where toilets are right beside there. He could

597
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: have hustled each and every time, but I guess it

598
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: wasn't that many times because he said, really the prep

599
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: was in that battle. He didn't give us the numbers.

600
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: How many times he had to go to the numbers?

601
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: You cut him on one hand, Well, he ain't doing

602
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: it right his guys.

603
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: We need his doctor to chime in and say the

604
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: prep we.

605
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: Oh, Shack and Ernie and that crew had on the

606
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: pacers fans, the couple that was yelling at each other,

607
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: we could be having on the colonospy reach out. Just

608
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: talk to him about.

609
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: We have questions. All right, Let's move on to the

610
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: second game last night, which was also fantastic. Denny Avdya

611
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: scored forty one points, including the go ahead three point

612
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: play with sixteen seconds left, as the Blazers clawed back

613
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 1: from an eleven point deficit in the fourth quarter to

614
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: beat the Suns in their West Pit matchup. So Portland,

615
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: they are in the number seven seed, they're in the playoffs.

616
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna take on the Spurs. We'll break down that

617
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: series later this week and make some predictions. But the

618
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: game itself, where do you want to begin with this one?

619
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 2: Well, they were down double digits midway through the fourth

620
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: quarter and then their big three came through, starting with

621
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: Drew Holiday got swung to him on the baseline a

622
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: baseline jumper. Then Drew Holiday hits a baseline three, and

623
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: here comes the leader of your big three, Danny Avdiya,

624
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: coming through a three and free throws for him. And

625
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: then of all people, Jeremy Grant with three minutes left

626
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: and then two minutes left, hitting back to back big threes,

627
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: sandwiched a monstrous block, huge block with his left hand

628
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: in between those to get them to this point. This

629
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: guy had sixteen points and nineteen minutes off the bench.

630
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: How my man Thiago splitter as head coach of the Blazers,

631
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: have got this guy to play in that role, making

632
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: thirty plus million dollars, obviously fantastic on that side. And

633
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: then Denny finished it out two layups and a free

634
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: throw to end it in that last minute. I liked

635
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: how the refs didn't give him a technical foul because

636
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: he was angering at and yelling about another potential free throw.

637
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: He could have gone on one of those layps with

638
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: thirty seven seconds left like that. There's passion in the

639
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 2: play in and the playoffs, it's quite all right, but

640
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: those guys just cloted it out. I mean, you could

641
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: go to the other side and watch what the Suns

642
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 2: did during those six minutes, where again they were up

643
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: double digits, and it just wasn't executed all that well.

644
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: It was a little sloppy, but the Blazers absolutely absolutely

645
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: coming through. Did not expect that come did not expect

646
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: the end of the first pit and then the end

647
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: of this second pit the way it happened.

648
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was I definitely thought that the Sons were

649
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: gonna win it after they went on their huge run

650
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: in the second half. This was a weird game of runs.

651
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: Like the first Pit game, it was like ten point

652
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: runs here and there. This was like extended runs for

653
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 3: both teams, like twenty five to six or something like that.

654
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: So when the Suns actually went ahead and Portland was

655
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: struggling to take care of the ball, I was like,

656
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: uh oh, this is turning the way of the Sun's

657
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 3: not looking good for the Blazers. But then downhill Denny

658
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: got busy. He was like while Luca to me because

659
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: he looked like Luka Dancic out there. He's dribbling between

660
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: his legs, dribbling, dribbling, dribbling, wait till you get off balance.

661
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: But I'm like Luca, who wants to step back and

662
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: shoot a three as soon as you're off balance.

663
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: Abdia just gets to the rim.

664
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: And he was getting to the rim all night last night.

665
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: Thirteen free throws, twelve or fourteen on two pointers. I

666
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: think nine of those were layups, including the big one

667
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 3: to really ice the game. And he was feeling it

668
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: as well. You can see why he got the playmaker chain.

669
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 3: He was having a great time trash talking Jalen Green.

670
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: It looked like, specifically he's pointing at them every time

671
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: he scored and one in them.

672
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he lived.

673
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: Up to the nickname Turbo there last year he did

674
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: holy crap, was he initiating the action as he has

675
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: all season long, but really proving he could be a

676
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: number one option. He's hitting some threes. He was throwing

677
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: lobs left and right. This guy loves a lob pass

678
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: that is very similar to Luca as well. I saw

679
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: Nate Jones asking who are comps for Denny Afdiya. A

680
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of people going with the Luca. Some people saying

681
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: he's not as crafty as Ginobili, but he has that

682
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: relentless downhill sort of drive that Manu had. I see that.

683
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: I love the Danilo Gallinari before the leg injuries. I'm like, ay,

684
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: I see a little bit of it. But he's got

685
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: more force, just way more force. I don't know if

686
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: there's any other ones that come to mind. People are

687
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: going as far as saying he plays like Lebron. You're like, whoa, Okay,

688
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I get it. Driving through guys. He's strong, he's built

689
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: like a Mac truck for his size, and he's got

690
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: an awesome handle, like a really sneaky underrated handle. How

691
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: tight it is on a string. So he just had

692
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: an ASCO game forty one, twelve and seven, two blocks.

693
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: And the first playoffs for that guy. So we'll see

694
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: we'll see him as that number one guy.

695
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. And this is the Blazer's habit

696
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: all season long, like they lose and win a game

697
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: six or seven times within one game. And you're right,

698
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was over at the end.

699
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, you know, a.

700
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Hell of a game from him. Drew Holliday was awesome,

701
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: but they got just enough from those bench guys, in particular,

702
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: you said Jeremy Grant, it was nice to see playing

703
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: it April, very rare and cheating Shart. I thought he

704
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: had a decent game. You had a couple threes, and

705
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: he had a big possession where he played defense on

706
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: Devin Booker and made Booker, you know, couldn't get around

707
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: Booker cadn't get around him and had to settle and

708
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: made it for a tough shot. So I thought he

709
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: gave him a little bit too. So those two guys

710
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: off the bench, everybody else doing a little bit of

711
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: part and credit to split her. He just like he

712
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: went small at down the stretch too, and that obviously

713
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: worked with Jeremy Grant as a small ball five.

714
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeremy Grant was great. Klingon didn't really have it,

715
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: Robert Williams didn't really have it. I think they were

716
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: like four points combined did okay on the glass, but

717
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: it was the small lineup that did it, and the

718
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: vets totally came through. And I think that kind of

719
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: showed in the first pick matchup as well, Like LaMelo

720
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: Bridges Kobe White were the best players out there, older guys,

721
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: and then Jeremy Grant hitting the clutch shots. Drew with

722
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: twenty one points in this one. Denny Additz his first

723
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: pick game, but he feels like a guy that's played

724
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: in a pit before. He's been around for a while,

725
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: so I'm always thinking that experience matters in the play

726
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: in tournament, not knowing if it's actually true. Last night

727
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 3: I definitely felt true because there were no vets on

728
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: the Sun's side all that. Jalen Green, I guess he's

729
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: sort of that he played in the playoffs last year.

730
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 3: Well you went by the Jalen Green, you died.

731
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, those last six minutes Jail and Green, he got

732
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: a little too cute. He tried to throw behind the

733
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: back pass whatever that turnover that led to and everybody

734
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: was to blame for the last six minutes, not just

735
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: on Jaien Green, but then Den Booker missed an open

736
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: three way left, didn't look like a Devin Booker shot,

737
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: and then Dylan Brooks kind of forced the shot, and yeah,

738
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: just kind of kept rolling the bad jailing Green turnover

739
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: underneath the rim. Booker missed that shot over Clinging, which

740
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: again he wanted, he wanted a foul call, and again

741
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: I wanted to pat the refs on the back not

742
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: giving him, not giving Donovan Clinging a foul and that one.

743
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: I thought the refs did a really good job in

744
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: this particular game. But in the end, Yeah, Danny, Danny

745
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: burned Jordan Goodwin, who was the first recipient of the

746
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: Marley Hustle Award. The Phoenix Suns give out a Hustle

747
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: Award now Dan Marley Hustle or Dan Marley, Yeah, the

748
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: first time. Jordan Goodman has been good all season, but

749
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: Danny burden. Danny got him slipping inside out.

750
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: There a little trivia for you, Danny Avdia fifth player

751
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: to score fifty plus in a play in game. Can

752
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: you name the other four?

753
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: Forty plus? Yeah, Tatum, it's correct. You got uh Kobe

754
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: White correct?

755
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Nice? Who else?

756
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh? John Morant? I don't think so. Yeah, maybe at

757
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: thirty five bigge. Now two guys that are always injured.

758
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard, no big guys. Oh indeed, he never played

759
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 3: in a pit Jimmy Butler, he played a lot of

760
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: pit games.

761
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis okay, and Zion Williamson. Oh, I was thought

762
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: you'd get one. Denny joins the list there, Tatum White,

763
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: a d and Zion that's the list I saw. And

764
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: Denny Turbo Denny living up again to that nickname. Anything

765
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: else from this one. Blazers did clinch the playoff spot,

766
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: but maybe the Bulls were the big winners. TK exactly

767
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: picked up a first round pick from Portland to complete

768
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty one trade. That three team trade. Blazer

769
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: sent Derek Jones Junior to the Bulls along with a

770
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: lottery protected first round pick all the way through through

771
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. But it is flipping over to the Bulls.

772
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: So the Bulls are gonna have two top sixteen picks.

773
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: You know, it could be fifteenth or sixteen that last

774
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: one there, but two top sixteen picks here to start

775
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: the rebuild. That was a trade that also involved Larry

776
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: Nance Junior and Larry Markt's right, that was really the

777
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: lowry marketing trade and Derek Jones Junior.

778
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: Well, so cool. We'll see who they hire and hopefully

779
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: they're smart.

780
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Sun's chances to win

781
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: on Friday night? Because they still have a crack to

782
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: get in there as the eighth seed and take on

783
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: the Thunder.

784
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: They will still be at home, that's right. I mean,

785
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: I guess'll see who they end up playing. That's a

786
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: big part of it. But yeah, I would take the

787
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 3: Clippers over the Suns, and I would take the Suns

788
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: over the Warriors.

789
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it feels like they're going to be playing

790
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: the Clippers. The Suns should and could and will. I'll

791
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 2: take the Suns as a winner no matter who they play.

792
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to stick to what I said the other day.

793
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: It felt like that game last night that was the one,

794
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: and you're into the playoffs, the seven eight match up

795
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: there between the Blazers and Suns. I don't feel I

796
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: don't like their confidence or I don't like their chances.

797
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: Excuse me to to beat the if it is a

798
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: Clippers team on Friday night. I feel like that was

799
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: the one they had to get in. But the Blazers

800
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: move on and I can't wait to talk about that

801
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: series and whether they can. Can they make things a

802
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: little interesting against Wemby and the Spurs or will they

803
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: get waxed. I think they'll play entertaining games regardless. Yeah,

804
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: that's all they know how to do. I'm telling you, fun,

805
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: fun stuff. All right, let's take a break. When we

806
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,160

00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,520

00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 2: Just say.

822
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: It's a little little kid rockish of you, is what

823
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: he's saying.

824
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: Loves some what.

825
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with you.

826
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 3: I don't know bo with the BA.

827
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that sign. I know that's why

828
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: he said it. I guess, all right, don't say that.

829
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to.

830
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: I don't need siated with them. Yeah. Yeah, yesterday you

831
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: said Jax Taylor, Is that right? Yeah? Yeah, I was

832
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: while you were saying that. I was because I thought

833
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: it was a reference to a James Taylor song. So

834
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: I was like, because you mentioned that you're going to

835
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: a James Taylor concert, right, So I thought there was

836
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 2: a connection. I don't know who Jax Taylor.

837
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: I watched it.

838
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: I watched your reaction to him say it because I

839
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: knew what he was talking about. I was like, yeah,

840
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't think got.

841
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: That Jax Taylor reference. I don't know the vanders.

842
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: Number one guy, Vander Pump rules not my thing.

843
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 3: James Taylor is the number one guy in my mom's heart.

844
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 3: There you go, and number two you're number one.

845
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Yeah, that's my.

846
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: Bobi Okay Eastern Conference Playoff previews. We did two of

847
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: these in the West yesterday. We're doing two in the East.

848
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Knicks and the Hawks. Cca set

849
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: to meet in the NBA playoffs for the first time

850
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one. They played some competitive regular season games,

851
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: so no reason this series won't give us more of

852
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: the same. We'll go through things to watch, some X

853
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: factors and make our predictions. But the number three Nicks

854
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: versus the number six Hawks, what's one thing you got

855
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: your eye on.

856
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 2: They recently played, so it's burned into my head the

857
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: way that the Knicks were able to outsize the Atlanta Hawks.

858
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 2: They were just way bigger. Karl Anthony Towns looked like

859
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 2: that guy that everyone expects of a number one pick

860
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 2: and to be that guy who scores a ton. He

861
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: does really well against Atlanta Hawks because there's a size

862
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: issue with a Yaka kong Wu starting at center. Cat

863
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: likes to go at him, and he was going at

864
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 2: him the last time they played, and you know when

865
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: they tried to cut him off a little bit. He

866
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: was really good at sending guys up he's been really

867
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: good against the Atlanta Hawks this year. You don't want

868
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: to go too deep on the numbers as far as

869
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: what he does against the Atlanta Hawks, but they're big

870
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: twenty eight and thirteen now. Because Jock Landale was hurt recently.

871
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: That was a tough move by Goga Bitaz of the

872
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: Orlando Magic to take Landale out. That's the guy who

873
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: would have played Karl Anthony Towns or Mitchell Robinson plenty

874
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 2: and so he's likely out. But I think they went

875
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: and got Tony B. Bradley literally the day that they

876
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: played the New York Knicks recently, just to throw some

877
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: minutes out there, because he did play against the Knicks

878
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: for the Pacers last year in the playoffs, so he

879
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: played plenty of minutes. So they're desperate I think for size.

880
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: So that's that's the thing I think that we're going

881
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to be watching anyway.

882
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kat dominated the Hawks twenty eight, thirteen and three

883
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: on sixty three percent shooting and only five fouls in

884
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: two games.

885
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: That's huge. That's big. Good.

886
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: Limiting Karl Anthony Towns fouls is big. And I just wonder,

887
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 3: I wonder if Jalen Johnson could do it, could like

888
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: step up and guard Towns that way, and Yaka kong

889
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 3: Wu can kind of help off Josh Hart. That's the

890
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: best way to guard the Knicks is guard Towns with

891
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: a wing. I don't know if Johnson is up to that.

892
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: Another thing to watch I think is a tempo control.

893
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 3: In this one, the Hawks are fourth and pace Knicks

894
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: are twenty six. A lot of that comes down to

895
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 3: the Hawks really want to force turnovers because they don't

896
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: have a big rim protector. Kong is a mobile guy,

897
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: but he's not deterring shots. They don't necessarily have lockdown guys.

898
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 3: Daniels is good, naw As good, but what they're best

899
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: at is forcing turnovers and going the other way getting

900
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 3: easy offense. So I wonder which way that turns, and

901
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 3: branching off from that, I wonder how Jalen Johnson does

902
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: against Ognnobi, assuming the game slows down the way it

903
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: usually does, turns into a little more of a half

904
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: court game. Jalen Johnson's gotten a lot better there. That's

905
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 3: not necessarily his strength though. The one game the Hawks

906
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: won this season, Big Johnson had a triple double, and

907
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of the performances we need to

908
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: see from him for the.

909
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: Entirety of the series.

910
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 3: He needs to be going head to head with Jalen

911
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 3: Brunson for best player on the court status for the

912
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 3: Hawks to have a chance.

913
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: Here Jalen versus Jalen. Who's the best Jalen in this series? Yeah,

914
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: those are the two things I got my eye on.

915
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: You guys basically touched on who controls the pace of

916
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: play like you were saying, TK, and then I sort

917
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: of went a little deeper. But this idea of like,

918
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: can the Hawks keep Mitchell Robinson in particular off the lass?

919
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: Rebounding not a strength of the Hawks because of their size,

920
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: and without backup center Jack Landell, that's tough. So that's

921
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: a congu It's got to be a you know, gang

922
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: rebounding for sure. Everybody's got a help there and end possessions.

923
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,959
Speaker 1: But Mogay, if he's in there, he's got a box

924
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: out like his life depends on it. And that is

925
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: a slight guy. And then yeah, maybe we get Tony Bradley,

926
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: there's the big boy in there to try and sop

927
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: up and try and keep off Mitchell Rumson off the

928
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: glass and cat because Ruminson. He's good for those like

929
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: extra four or five possessions a game where it's like

930
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: they just kill the spirit of the other team. It's like, oh, man,

931
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: you played great defense on it. He just gobbles up

932
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: kicks out to a shooter, bang three, and you're like,

933
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: oh that he does it again, and you're like time

934
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: out and suddenly a game that you were in it's

935
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: like exploded to like five or six, and you're like,

936
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: somebody keep him off the glass. But easier said than

937
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: done because he's he's shown it before in postseason matchups.

938
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: So those are the two things I'm watching here.

939
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 3: He feels like he gets better in the playoffs, maybe

940
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: because there are usually fewer possessions, so the offensive rebounds

941
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 3: feel like a bigger deal. Also, the nick star are average,

942
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: Like the Hawks starting lineup has a plus twenty one

943
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: net rating, much better than the Knicks, which is basically

944
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: zero zero point three negative zero point three. Once they

945
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 3: saw out heart for Robinson or Robinson for Towns. It

946
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: feels like the Knicks get better because they're getting more shots.

947
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know.

948
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: And like you're saying, the deflating factor of giving up

949
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 3: an offensive rebound, you can't have that for the Hawks.

950
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 3: Hawks are decent on the defensive glass, but like, is

951
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 3: missing Jock Landale that big of a deal? It feels

952
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 3: like it, But yeah, it shouldn't feel like it, right, Yeah.

953
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're gonna have to do it by committee. There's

954
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 2: no doubt the Dyson Daniels because he is tough, even

955
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: though he's way undersize compared to these guys, is gonna

956
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: have to be just being Dyson Daniels and fighting around

957
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: there to grab balls because look at the size of

958
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: Ika or Jalen Johnson, whether it's their bodies or their height,

959
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: it's they're lacking. Yeah, that Jock takeout by Gogo Paitazi,

960
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 2: it could be big. I mean, that's why they got

961
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: him to just be able to fight.

962
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: Who do you have for X factors in this series?

963
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: Well, I'll start with Dyson Daniels because as much as

964
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 2: he's ridiculed for a guy who can't shoot the ball,

965
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 2: he's all right to end the season not bad at all,

966
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 2: ten of twenty four of his last twenty four attempts.

967
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: So they're gonna guard him with a big that can

968
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: leave him, whether it's Kat or Mitche Robinson or whoever

969
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: They're gonna leave him shoot those Dyson if he can

970
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: hit a couple, changes things just to space things out.

971
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 2: So that's big for them. It feels like the Hawks

972
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: have a bunch of these guys that if they can execute,

973
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna score. It goes on. I think to Jonathan Kaminga,

974
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: who could be big and has been solid since he

975
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: was acquired, But they're just gonna have to outscore the Knicks. Talented,

976
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 2: talented dudes, and I think it starts with those two.

977
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got Kaminga off the bench. He's gonna have

978
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: to like run that second unit when Jellen Johnson gets

979
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: a very rare rest and they can't like obviously get

980
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: blitzed in those minutes that he's on the bench. So

981
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: Cominga's big. I mean, look, he played well when he

982
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: got an opportunity in games that they lost last year

983
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: with Curry went down with injury, but he put up points.

984
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 2: Wasn't playing too much, no, no.

985
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: So I had him on the Hawks. Who do you have?

986
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: Either Knicks or Hawks.

987
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 3: I'm with you, guys. Daniels has to be a threat.

988
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: Doesn't necessarily have to be making threes that would be helpful,

989
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 3: but he has to do something on offense because they

990
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: need him defensively against Brunson. Most importantly, Kaminga needs to

991
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 3: be the best bench player in the series, like the

992
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 3: Knicks have a pretty solid bench, Mitch Deuce, sham At Alvarado,

993
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: maybe Clarkson gets some time, Dio warro W probably see

994
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 3: spot minutes if he plays well, keeps playing. But Kaminga

995
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 3: has an opportunity to at least be the takeover guy

996
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 3: in this series, and he's the most He's got the

997
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 3: highest ceiling at least that the guy's on the bench

998
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 3: for the Hawks. I'm not expecting big things from Kiss

999
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: Burger Gabe or Reesa Shay anything like that. But I

1000
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: also think Mikhale Bridges needs to be present in this

1001
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: series right, Like he can't just be floating in and

1002
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 3: out of games. He made huge defensive plays for the

1003
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: Knicks last year in the playoffs, a steal at the

1004
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: end of one game, a block at the end of

1005
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: the other game. He's a great defensive playmaker and they

1006
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: need him energized guarding Nikhil Aley Xander Walker on the

1007
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 3: perimeter as their main point of attack guy because we

1008
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: know Brunson will be hiding somewhere. Probably he could be

1009
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: a Daniels Hyde guy as well, but Bridges needs to

1010
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 3: be in the flow of offense offense so that he

1011
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 3: can be out there defensively as well.

1012
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it was James Edwards, the third on

1013
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: the Athletic pointing out like if Bridges, if his jump

1014
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: shot isn't falling, then he isn't really contributing on the

1015
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: offensive end because he never attacks. He never goes to

1016
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: the free throw line. He just doesn't really put any

1017
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: pressure on the rim. So if you don't if he

1018
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: doesn't get those wing threes or the odd jumper here there,

1019
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: it's like you wouldn't even know he's on that end

1020
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: of the floor. Yes, he just never attacks the rim.

1021
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: So that's I have him as a bit of an

1022
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: X factor because I have so much confidence in brunts

1023
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: in I think Kat versus this Hawks matchup. Yes, Mitchell

1024
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: obviously doing his thing. Josh Hart I love, He's going

1025
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: to do all the dirty work and they're gonna hope

1026
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: he can hit threes. He'll be left open at times

1027
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: to prove it. Again. Og solid Bridges. I get the

1028
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: bridges here. I'm like, Okay, what type of bridges you

1029
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: get because I think if you get a good mcchill Bridges,

1030
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: the Knicks are like very very tough to beat, especially

1031
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: in a seven game service. For the Hawks to advance,

1032
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: they need a disappearing act from mckail bridges.

1033
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with a series that Cat should be touching

1034
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: the ball and commanding the Hawks. You can see mckil

1035
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 2: bridges not being involved at all kind of thing because

1036
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: they kind of fluctuate. Sometimes people will say, oh, hey,

1037
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: Cat's involved, same thing for mickel Bridges. But it sure

1038
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: feels like Cat's going to be involved in this series

1039
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: just because of size. I mean, he's just gonna gobble

1040
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 2: up a Nika kong Wu. It feels like you.

1041
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: Should let's get to predictions TK. I'll start with you here,

1042
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: Nick Hawks, Where are you going? How many games? I

1043
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: really want to pick the Hawks for an upset?

1044
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: I do?

1045
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 3: Everybody does. Nobody wants to see this Knicks team advancing.

1046
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 3: Maybe there's something there might be some Nick fans out there.

1047
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 3: I do like the Hawks have been practicing with Madison

1048
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 3: Square Garden audio pumped in smart pretty hilarious, including the organ.

1049
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 3: He used to playing with the organ. Now that Sir

1050
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 3: Foster is not down there at the Fortress. I want

1051
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 3: if CJ. McCollum can have some Madison Square Garden, just

1052
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 3: like Trey Young did. He was willing to step up

1053
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 3: in big moments Trey Young was. We've seen McCollum hit

1054
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 3: some big shots for the Hawks, but he doesn't have

1055
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 3: a great track record in MSG. He has rarely played there,

1056
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 3: being a Western Conference guy for the majority of his career.

1057
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm going Nixon seven. I'm giving the Hawks oh a

1058
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 3: lot of respect here.

1059
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 2: So when they're practicing with the organ did they bring

1060
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: Sir Foster down because Sir Foster could easily just imitate it.

1061
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: It's like Joe Ingles, You you have to be Luka

1062
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 3: Dncic in practice. Sir Foster, you have to be Nick's

1063
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 3: organists in practice.

1064
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: I like that. Yeah, yeah, like the Raptors using Lloyd

1065
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 2: as Steph Curry. You know, just you gotta do, you

1066
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: gotta do what you gotta do hereaff let's get Sir

1067
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 2: Foster in here. We'll get the guy who could talk

1068
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 2: about his colonoscopy. Who get Sir Foster in here just

1069
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: to feel it out? Yeah? Seven is respect. That's that's

1070
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: wonderful stuff. I can't go that far. I just think

1071
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: the Nickson sick just because they have so much, so

1072
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 2: much talent. Picks, that's the picks. The picks are the

1073
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: Knicks in six. Yeah, the Hawks wanted this the way

1074
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 2: they played the final day of the regular season, so hey,

1075
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 2: maybe they come through, but it's hard to see them

1076
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: more than six.

1077
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: The Hawks are weird to figure out here, right, because

1078
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: they enter the series pretty red hot, I mean nineteen

1079
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: and six post All Star Break. Though the Knicks were

1080
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: pretty solid too, but the Hawks rank in the top

1081
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 1: ten in three point volume, in efficiency, I mean Nikile

1082
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: Alexander Walker. We haven't even mentioned him. The guy's been

1083
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: on fire for weeks now. For them to pull off

1084
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: the upset, he needs to continue that defensively. You know,

1085
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: he's going to try and hound brunts in use his

1086
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,959
Speaker 1: length and all that make it difficult. But he needs

1087
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: to obviously score a bunch of them as well. But

1088
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: then you look at the schedule that the Hawks had

1089
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, holy crap, it was pretty easy.

1090
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1091
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 1: Even their wins against like top six Eastern Conference playoff

1092
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: teams like actually in a lot of like caveats, right, No,

1093
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: Kid Cunningham and their win in overtime versus detro Right,

1094
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: not Tatum Celtics running back to back in their win

1095
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: against the Celtics, No Mitchell or Jared Allen in their

1096
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: win against Cleveland. So I'm like, I don't know. It's

1097
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: like I do, They're they're they're a lot more fun

1098
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: after moving off a tray young and these guys are

1099
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: playing really strongly and Quinn's got something going here. But

1100
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, is this all this all

1101
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: sort of fake? Like can they beat these really legit

1102
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: good teams, which I think the Knicks are tight, but

1103
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: even in tight games, I'm going to side with Jellen Brunson.

1104
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: Uh you know, as we saw in that Knicks game.

1105
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean CJ hit the crazy buzzer beater at the

1106
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: end of the game, but just a little second too late.

1107
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: So you have Nixon seven, you have Nix and six,

1108
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: going Nixon five. Yeah, I'm going Nickson five. You know,

1109
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: I've been sort of saying all season long, the Knicks

1110
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: are just waiting for the postseason. Here they're just like

1111
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: Lolly Gagan a little bit here. Not that's good.

1112
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 2: I don't know that. We'll see if they're good enough

1113
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 2: to flip the switch.

1114
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right right, all right, so we all have the Knicks,

1115
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: but maybe it's a little closer in Tk's mind than

1116
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: it is at mine.

1117
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 3: Stream team sand Nicks. Okay, seventy six percent the Knicks.

1118
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk Cavaliers Raptors Toronto talking about the Knicks. They

1119
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 1: were drawn dead against the Knicks. They had lost all

1120
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: five games against New York, including one on Friday night,

1121
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: but thanks to Orlando losing to Boston c team, the

1122
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: Raptors instead face Cleveland, which they did sweep their three

1123
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: game season series. Yeah, all those games were played before

1124
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: even December, like before Thanksgiving. So no Harden of course

1125
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: for the Calves. Thanksgiving American Thanksgiving.

1126
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, thanks.

1127
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: Still a better draw for the Raptors against the Calves

1128
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: than it would have been against the Knicks, who they

1129
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: just cannot beat. So let's break it down. One thing

1130
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: to watch for in Calves Raptors, which gets the postseason?

1131
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:53,959
Speaker 1: The actual playoffs started on.

1132
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 2: Saturday, Yeah, twelve thirty Eastern in Cleveland. It's gonna feel

1133
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: like Toronto for me. I'm gonna I'm gonna make it

1134
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: feel like I'm cheering for the Toronto Raptors. But from

1135
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: the get go. I am more concerned about what the

1136
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: Cavs do to get everyone involved for the Toronto Raptors,

1137
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 2: because if they do get Evan Mobley involved, because he

1138
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: isn't a hey, just take the ball and score kind

1139
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 2: of guy. But if he is setting picks, which sometimes

1140
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: he doesn't, along with side Jared Allen, and those guys

1141
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 2: can play the big to big passing and James Harden

1142
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 2: and Donovan Mitchell can make it happen later on in

1143
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 2: the game, it could be a quick game or two

1144
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 2: or three or four for the Toronto Raptors. So that's

1145
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 2: my concern. I know there's there's very few minutes that

1146
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 2: those four guys played together. And by four guys, I'm

1147
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: talking specifically about Mitchell and Harden and Alan and Mobile,

1148
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: they only played eighty nine minutes together after they acquired

1149
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 2: Harden and Mobile shirt everybody was hurt or there's a

1150
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 2: lot of injuries, So that is a concern. I little

1151
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: geniminly watched the nick or excuse me, the calves and

1152
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: watch and if Mobile's not involved, not setting picks, and

1153
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 2: he's just not part of the game, and he doesn't

1154
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 2: make them the Raptors in this case hurt he doesn't

1155
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 2: get the ball down low. He doesn't, He just not.

1156
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 2: He's just less involved. So I think that's important for

1157
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 2: the Cabs. Just keep that Donovan Mitchell sort of on

1158
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 2: the back burner and watch him kill it in the

1159
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. That's what this team should be all about,

1160
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 2: and Donald Mitchell could do. That's not someone I'm watching

1161
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: from the.

1162
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 3: Get Gokay, Yeah, it's actually going to be exciting to

1163
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 3: see there are four big guys playing together and that

1164
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 3: gives Cleveland a massive backcourt advantage. Which that's the question

1165
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 3: for me. Who guards Donovan Mitchell, Like, who even is

1166
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 3: the choice? I think Barnes will probably be on Harden

1167
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 3: just size wise. It makes a little bit more sense

1168
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 3: Ingram maybe a mobiley. I wonder if Jamal Shd is

1169
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 3: gonna end up starting in this series with e Manual

1170
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 3: quickly struggling with injury right now, it's possible, yeah, exactly,

1171
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 3: and I think he probably is the best choice to

1172
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 3: guard Donovan Mitchell. You could also try r J Barrett

1173
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 3: on Donovan Mitchell. I think that's a bad recipe. Mitchell

1174
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 3: has been a playoff riser, hasn't gotten super far in

1175
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 3: the playoffs, but he's got multiple forty point games, multiple

1176
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: fifty point games. He seems to always go to the

1177
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 3: next level come playoff time, and it looks like he's

1178
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 3: got a favorable matchup in this one.

1179
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there'll be some Jacobi Walter, Yes, playing

1180
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 2: plenty of minutes against Mitchell, could end up closing games

1181
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter against Mitchell.

1182
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think RJ. Barrett is likely going to start

1183
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: on Donovan Mitchell. They'll give it a go. But I

1184
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: don't love that matchup either. Like you're saying TK, but

1185
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: Scotty Barnes generally plays Mobley in previous sort of matchups

1186
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: and is done alright with him. But I hear you, like,

1187
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: maybe you put Barnes, your greatest defender on one of

1188
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: these guys to try and contain them, and you just

1189
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: hope Mobley just settles for trying to shoot threes and

1190
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: struggles there and maybe Ingram can playoff or whatever. But

1191
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: I just want Darka whatever happens, I want him to

1192
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: be like quick to a change or like not afraid

1193
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: to go to a Colin Murray Boyles or Jacoby Walton

1194
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: or something like that, sort of like what do you

1195
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: have to lose? You're not a favorite in this series,

1196
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: even though it's a four or five. Like, you can

1197
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: be aggressive, you can take the wild swings on, getting

1198
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: a little funky, h and maybe trying to, like I say,

1199
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: play the rook because I'm a little worried about peertl

1200
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: in this series too. I mean, yeah, there's Jared Allen

1201
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: out there, but like, I don't know, man, they're gonna

1202
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: put Pearl in every action imaginable and then that man's

1203
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna drop and it's like, oh my god. Mitchell and

1204
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: Harden could just feast in those situations. So maybe you

1205
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: just go away from it. I don't know. I just

1206
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: want to if, like I get it, you're gonna start

1207
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 1: with it. You pay the guy a lot of money,

1208
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: and maybe he can make all those money, all those

1209
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: big bucks back for you with a good series here.

1210
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: But just don't be afraid to like just get funky

1211
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: right away if it's blown up in your face early.

1212
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of early, I I know we're talking about

1213
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 2: who's gonna guard Donald Mitchell. I think it is a

1214
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: concern for the Cavs ast to who's gonna guard Brandon

1215
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 2: Ingram Because we see Brandon Ingham in the playoffs and

1216
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 2: he is taken away by guys most recently like a

1217
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 2: lou Dort who is extremely physical. Like, guys don't really

1218
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 2: have that guy. So I think that needs to be

1219
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: a successful matchup if the A.

1220
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: Has to dominate for them to pull off this upset. Yeah,

1221
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: he's got to score twenty five plus in the series,

1222
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: it has to, I think, And maybe he can.

1223
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, in one good playoff series and one bad playoff series.

1224
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 3: One was against Okay See a great defense, and one

1225
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 3: was against the Phoenix Suns, a forgettable defense. So it's possible. Yeah,

1226
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 3: And that's definitely the Raptor's biggest advantage is like the

1227
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 3: Cavs have a question mark at the three spot. It's

1228
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 3: like Dean Wade is probably.

1229
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 2: Going to be the guy.

1230
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 3: That's the guy they like the most. He has had

1231
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 3: some injury problems but seems to be fine. They got

1232
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 3: a few other guys that get throw out there, Merril Strus,

1233
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 3: maybe Jalen Tyson, though he's kind of fallen out of

1234
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 3: the rotation a little bit. Ingram is the best player

1235
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 3: of all those guys names, so he has to be

1236
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 3: really big for the Reps.

1237
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll throw a Kean Ellis just to annoy him

1238
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 2: a little bit, but he's way too tiny, so Ingram

1239
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 2: can get it going.

1240
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: X factors in Calves raps who wants to get it started?

1241
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: Either side?

1242
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,959
Speaker 2: Well, I think it is Emmanual quick You said Trey

1243
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 2: that he may not be playing. Mild hamstring is what's

1244
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: happening there, But it's a bad sign coming off playing

1245
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 2: our fasciitis just before that where he came back and

1246
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: returned for a couple games, but then you get the

1247
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 2: mild hamstring going. It's super important for him to be

1248
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: able to penetrate and get into that paint because, yeah,

1249
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 2: Jamal shed can help out there in place of him,

1250
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 2: but he's not the same score that Emmanuel Quickly is

1251
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 2: watching Davion Mitchell for the Miami Heat and the play

1252
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: in tournament, maybe think, oh, that would be nice for

1253
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: the Raptors to still have that guy just as a

1254
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: backup because at the end of the games, the pin

1255
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: downs that the Raptors run for brandon Ingram are going

1256
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: to get blown up by a playoffs defense, And so

1257
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen on the other side, is it brandoning

1258
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: or excuse me, Scotty Barnes gonna be able to create

1259
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 2: and just do what he does sometimes just play bully ball.

1260
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 2: That's not really his thing. I think Quickly is just

1261
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: so dependent for this team. And I know there's going

1262
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: to have other guys that they can help out. Rgie

1263
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 2: Barrett can can help out and others. But I think

1264
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: this Quickly injury could be pretty important here in this game,

1265
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 2: and he could be playing or not, or he could

1266
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 2: be playing twenty minutes twenty minutes of not ending games

1267
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,439
Speaker 2: because his hamstring isn't all that good.

1268
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a huge expector is if Quickly

1269
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 3: plays and who they play in his stead, Jamal Shed

1270
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 3: feels very important to me, maybe Jacoby Walter. I don't

1271
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 3: trust them maybe as much as you guys do, but

1272
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 3: Toronto needs the force turnovers and they need some sort

1273
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 3: of perimeter defense here. The question for me is can

1274
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 3: the Raptors rebound their nineteenth in defensive rebound rate this

1275
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 3: season Cleveland ninth in offensive rebound rate? Like you talked

1276
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 3: about Skeet's massive size advantage for the Cavs, which means

1277
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 3: to me, Pertle has to play unfortunately, like he's gonna

1278
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 3: have to give them really really good minutes in this

1279
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 3: one because the backups are we willie Raptors just little guys.

1280
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 3: Mom's small. CMB is small and they rebound at their size.

1281
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 3: So that's a problem certainly for Toronto. But you know,

1282
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 3: maybe they can make it weird. Sometimes making it weird works.

1283
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. That's what I mean by

1284
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: exactly what I mean by that. So like, especially if

1285
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: you're down, I mean, if they Caves take care of

1286
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: business in the first two games in Cleveland or something

1287
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: like that, which for the Raptors to pull off the upset,

1288
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: they almost guaranteed have to steal one of those uh

1289
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: in these first two games. I think I don't see

1290
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: them winning four or five after that. But I have Dayne,

1291
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: I have Dwayne Wade. I have Dean Wade as sort

1292
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: of my X factory. He already went over it like

1293
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: they like. They like starting him with with Allan and

1294
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: h Mobley, but can you stay healthy and can you

1295
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: hit a shot? So he is one. Dennis Shrewder I

1296
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: think too. I'm actually terrified as a Raptors fan. I

1297
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: can see it now. He's going to hit a big shot.

1298
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: He's going to turn to Darko and scream in his face.

1299
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: You know, some bad blood. I think about how that went.

1300
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm terrified of Dennis Shruter like hitting a big shot

1301
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: and trash talking.

1302
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: Ess.

1303
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: I can literally I literally kept picture it. So I

1304
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: have him maybe coming through. But you said, Kean ellis

1305
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: like they got a lot of guys that they'll like

1306
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 1: can sort of like roll through to see how who

1307
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: has it going. But I go back to Calin Murray Bolls.

1308
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: I think I'd love to see him almost thrown into

1309
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: the you know again, if there's like little expectations to

1310
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: actually advance and make any noise in the postseason, Let's

1311
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: get him some reps here. Let's play a very good team,

1312
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: talented big so and see how he holds up. I mean,

1313
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: I know he's banged up. He feels like he's been

1314
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: banged up all season. Feel like every second body parts

1315
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: injured on that guy. But yeah, hey, if you can play,

1316
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: you can play. I think he's gonna get an opportunity here.

1317
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: I hope he does.

1318
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, throw him in the den. He guys, cause

1319
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 2: he likes to fight. He isn't a huge rebound guy

1320
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 2: at six seven, but he likes to fight and he'll

1321
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: blockshots and so the physical advantage against Evan Mobley. I

1322
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: think you can call it a physical advantage at times,

1323
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 2: even though Mobley's way bigger, he will play physical and

1324
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: they need that.

1325
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: All right, predictions tasks. You're the Raptors fan, let's art

1326
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: with you. Do you smell an upset here? Or you

1327
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: have the Cavs taking care of his ess?

1328
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: It ain't smelly. No, it's not smelling like an upset

1329
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 2: right now. I gotta be completely honest. Yeah, the batchups

1330
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 2: aren't aren't great. Emmanuel quickly not cooking at this point

1331
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 2: of the season. Not great. I think that's key. I

1332
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 2: got the cas as simple as that. We'll see if literally,

1333
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: as we've said, Ingram has to carry this team and

1334
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: score a ton and it can't just be the Scottie

1335
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Barnes all of a sudden, is this fourth quarter playmaking

1336
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: guy who he's never been because they're gonna blow up

1337
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: that side of the floor with Ingram. They're gonna do

1338
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: a good job that in the fourth quarter, taking his

1339
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 2: side of the floor away. It shouldn't be on Inger,

1340
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: it shouldn't be on Scotty Barnes to do things. So, yeah,

1341
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 2: it doesn't bode well for me.

1342
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 3: I would like to see one of the Cavaliers wear

1343
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 3: a pair of the new Lebron's, the Lebronto ones. That'd

1344
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 3: be a great touch. I don't know if it'll happen, though,

1345
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: because it's like, Oh, Mitchell and Harden are Adidas guys.

1346
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 3: Smowglei wears Adidas. Jared Allen has been wearing the same

1347
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 3: shoes his entire I don't think it hits quite as

1348
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 3: hard if Dean wades out there in the Lebron, but

1349
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 3: it would still be pretty cool to see. And you know,

1350
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 3: the stack going around is that the Raptors haven't won

1351
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 3: a game against the Calves and how many years, one

1352
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 3: hundred years in the.

1353
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Postseason post they've lost ten straight.

1354
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Lebron is not there.

1355
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another James. Unfortunately there's another James.

1356
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, another Wade as well.

1357
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: But I'll give the Raptors one game.

1358
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 3: I'll give them game four.

1359
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Oh gentlemen, sweet Yeah, Okay, I like I'm going Calves.

1360
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know, if you've been watching

1361
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: the show all season long, I've not had a lot

1362
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 1: of confidence in the Raptors. So it's not like I'm

1363
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: going to suddenly just wave the wee the North flag

1364
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: and go, yeah, here we go right now against a

1365
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: good Calves team who took a while to finally figure

1366
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: things out. But when Hard and Mitchell Mobley and now

1367
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: and play even in limited minutes, small sample size, they've

1368
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: been very good. So those guys that they're healthy, I

1369
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: like their chances. I got Calves in six. There's just

1370
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: so many things that have to go right for the

1371
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: Raptors to make this a series, let alone pull off

1372
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: the upset you started with Ingram Scotti. Barnes has to

1373
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: completely outplay Mobile, which could happen, which again he's had

1374
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: some success against him. Perdle has to like prove that

1375
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: he's worth the big paid payday that he got here.

1376
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean hasn't been for the regular season. Take all

1377
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: that money in this series right here quickly, needs to

1378
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: probably come back and be healthy. Like it's just so

1379
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: many things that have to go right. Don't have a

1380
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,439
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in all of them. I just don't

1381
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: think they have the firepower to match this team. I

1382
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: mean we're glossing over like Mitchell Harden. These guys are

1383
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: massive numbers of playoff games where they put up thirty forty,

1384
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, fifty in Mitchell's case, So I just don't

1385
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: know if the Rap's gonna be able to keep up. Yeah,

1386
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: I hope they just throw the you know, the kitchen

1387
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: sink at them. I do want. I want Darko to

1388
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: just coach his ass off in this series and just

1389
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: try stuff.

1390
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. There's the reason why they haven't been great against

1391
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 2: the really good teams because they don't have the firepower. Yeah,

1392
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 2: and so they get to the fourth quarter, and who

1393
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 2: is going to execute? When I keep saying the ingram,

1394
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 2: things canna get blown up because it's so much reliant

1395
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: upon that guy scoring. It ain't gonna be Barnes, it

1396
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be Quickly, It's unlikely, it ain't gonna be Pertle.

1397
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, we kind of skipped over our j bear,

1398
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: but it's just not likely going to be him. So

1399
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: I hope we get to the end of the games

1400
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 2: where we're watching a close game, because I think that's

1401
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 2: an accomplishment against this Cleveland Cavaliers team, who will, I

1402
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 2: guess maybe be wearing these Lebronto shoes as I'm looking.

1403
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 2: It's almost so disrespectful. I want to see a raptor

1404
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 2: walk in with these Lebronto shoes. Have these shoes, although

1405
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 2: they're very nice.

1406
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Is Drake going to be there in Toronto at least

1407
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Game three? He's got these iced out seats. The album

1408
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: has finally coming the ice past. He's been at games

1409
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: this year. I don't think so. Maybe a handful. But

1410
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: you saw the seats, right, I did see the seats.

1411
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: What's his album called?

1412
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Iceman?

1413
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 2: I think.

1414
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: What is he? Dave Grisham Iceman? I know nobody likes ice,

1415
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: like my buddy Griss, your buddy Grish, Buddy Grish.

1416
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 3: Nobody he does love ice?

1417
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's obsessed.

1418
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Must love ice.

1419
01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Niconic. He's like he brings his own ice, you know,

1420
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: like trays or whatever, Like when we go to like

1421
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Airbnb's like when we did the hiking trip, he brought

1422
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: his own ice trays. And that's next level to me.

1423
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 3: So you're saying he's on the mountain ice more. Yes,

1424
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 3: I mean Gervin Yeah, ice tray val Kim, Dave Grisham,

1425
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 3: is it is it?

1426
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: Tu? If Drake's album lives up to it?

1427
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 2: Oh nice? Nice, it's open.

1428
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: The fourth spot is open.

1429
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 3: It's a good ice ice fan's a cool nickname, literally cool.

1430
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: But I do like it. You're saying, well, he's not

1431
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: cool enough to be Iceman.

1432
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 2: So Gerrish and Kilmer are the locks. Who's the fourth?

1433
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Sounds like it's down to tray On, Jim Ice or

1434
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: potentially Drake. If this is a really album, we're.

1435
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 3: Saying it a spot for you, all right?

1436
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, Calves in six from the two Raptors Homers

01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,560

1469
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 2: know if it's because of the way you the color

1470
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 2: hu you chose, because it really pops.

1471
