1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: And then you put the filter up in the top

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: of a coffee. Make I gotta give dat drip, gotta

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: drip drip drift grip, but drip a drip drip drip,

00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: drip by drip a drip drip drip datta drip baby dripped.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: Then you put it in your tip.

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: Now now you're going, I'll give a good dab damn.

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: about here this morning. We got five guys Hama along,

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: so let's get right into it. We're gonna play a

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: little bit more. It's just one game, but completely overreact

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: to the four new game ones we had on Tuesday.

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: We'll start in the Western Conference. We'll start with the

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: nightcap task. Damian Lillard score thirty four as the Blazers

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: beat the Lakers one hundred to ninety three. Is that right?

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Is that a typo in game one? Get a started task?

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: It's just one game, butt.

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: It's just one game. But Anthony Davis has a severe

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: case of amnesia. He can't remember how to play basketball.

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: It's on.

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: He didn't look like Anthony Davis out there. But I

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 4: do think it's more of a case. Yeah, here come

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: the excuses. I think it's more of the case the

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: Lakers just aren't comfortable. I think he follows Lebron's lead,

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: and I don't think Lebron and Ad know where their

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: shots are coming from. And he was hesitant. I would

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: say both guys. Lebron's stat line looks phenomenal, But I

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: think when he got into the paint, he did see

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: some big men and he was a little hesitant getting

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: into the paint. And Anthony Davis I used the word amnesia,

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: and that was he was reluctant the way he was

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: shooting the basketball because he took or he made I

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 4: should say, one shot outside of the paint. And that's

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: not Anthony Davis. I mean, he is the most dominant

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 4: big man in the game right now, and I think

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: that he just him and Lebron, whether it's you know,

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: not having home court, avetage, not being in the Staples Center,

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: not just being used to the situation. I think Lebron

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: has talked to that and I think it's true. But

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 4: I think that that is a big factor just right now.

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: They just don't know how to get into the lane,

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 4: figure out where their shots are coming from. It's been

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 4: the same sort of scenario throughout this bubble and where

59
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: they're going to find their shooters and how it's going

60
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 4: to go. So everybody's sort of hesitant. And the fact

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: that the Blazers yet you mentioned the score held them

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: under one hundred points, that the Blazers haven't done that

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: since January seventh to an opponent period, and it was

64
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: it was just ought to see those two great basketball

65
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: players just not know where the shots are coming from.

66
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: And then it trickles down to every single player down there.

67
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: And yeah, we'll give some kudos to the Blazers, but

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: I think you got to start right there. The two

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: best players are going to be watching a lot of

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: film going into game two, and they they're gonna have

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: to learn period. I mean, they can watch all the game.

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Film they want, they just have to hit shots. This

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: has been insane to watch the team that was really

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: good offensively all regular season long, on the way to

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the West, in the bubble.

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: For whatever the reasons are, the sight lines, the no fans,

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: whatever you want to come up with, they just can't shoot.

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: They would five to thirty two here from deep again

79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: last night. Their backcourt, Danny Green, Pope nothing nothing like

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: you said a d continuing to struggle from outside the

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: paint like this is just wild. At this point, we

82
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: will get to giving the Blazers their you know, rightful

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: credit for taking and stealing this game one. But Lee

84
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: Trey whoever wants to jump in here, you know, are

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: you concerned at all that the Lakers are never just

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna find their shot because the Blazers defense is not

87
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: that good. They just couldn't hit anything and haven't been

88
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: able to do so the entire bubble.

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 5: Let's get Lee ellis in that bubble. The Lakers need

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: a shot doctor. They're the only team that hasn't figured

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 5: out how to shoot in this gym. Every other team

92
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: raves about the shit the shot shooting lines, sightlines, the

93
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: sht lines, whatever you want to call them. Every other

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 5: team loves them. Every other team is shooting the ball

95
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: incredibly well, not the Lakers. You even saw it. Late

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter, Lebron and Ad both brick to

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 5: back free throws. That was a huge mess. But to me,

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis wasn't good. Lebron's stat line looks good, but

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: Lebron did not do enough for the Lakers. He was

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 5: guarded by Mellow and there were times where he would

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 5: catch the ball at the three point line. Mello's two

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 5: feet off him. He doesn't even look.

103
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: At the hoop.

104
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: Lebron doesn't. He's just moving the ball, wants to get

105
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 5: other people involved, and yeah, that's the Lebron way. We

106
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 5: shouldn't have been super surprised that he would have a

107
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 5: little bit of a chill mode in game one. The

108
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 5: guy loves a feel out game. But it's true, I

109
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: don't want to see a feel out game from Lebron.

110
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 5: If you've got Carmelo Anthony on you, you don't need to

111
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: be shooting outside jumpers if your team is five for

112
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: thirty two just shooting the lane. John Schumann had the

113
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 5: end the lane.

114
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: Stats last night. They were incredible.

115
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: The Lakers just weren't focused enough getting there, and Lebron

116
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 5: just needs to do more. Let's see a forty point

117
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: game already.

118
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: I think as well. Added to that, when Mellow wasn't

119
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: on him, Gary Trent Junior wasn't. Gary Trent Junior battled.

120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: I thought he put his body on the line there,

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: and he really tried to get Lebron sort of uncomfortable

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: when he did sort of post him up there. But

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: Lebron has to look at say, hey, this is Gary

124
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: Trent Jr. I can go and saw it. I can

125
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 2: do whatever I want here and get any shot I

126
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: feel like. Because you look at those numbers, Lebron nine

127
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: for twenty, fine, that's fine. The sixteen assists, he was

128
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: getting other guys involved, only one for five from downtown.

129
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: So yeah, the stat line itself, you think, well, Lebron

130
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: must have had a good game, but he certainly didn't

131
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: put his imprint on this when it counted in that

132
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, especially when Lillard was doing the opposite for

133
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: his team, where he was just carrying his team hitting

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: some of those just absurd three pointers that we've seen

135
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: him hit all bubble long. But Lebron was outplay by

136
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard. Now, it's only one game, and we have

137
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: seen this before from a Lebron team where that first

138
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: game you think, well, maybe they're not that good. So

139
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: they've still got plenty of time to figure out, and

140
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: I think ultimately they do in this series. But certainly

141
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: a team coming in in form like the Blazers, they

142
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: just went to what they knew, what they know works,

143
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: and that is try to keep it close and then

144
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: you've got Lillard to close it out. I thought CJ.

145
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: McCollum was great as well, but I think this was

146
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: just one of those games where the Lakers kind of

147
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: felt they were probably just going to pull away from

148
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: the Blazers, but instead Lillard time to up and it

149
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: was just another incredible performance from Dime.

150
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds crazy because it's a one to eight matchup,

151
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: but I honestly felt like this game was the least

152
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: surprising outcome from all the game ones we've seen over

153
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: the last two days. I truly believe that because the

154
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: Lakers have looked like garbage offensively the entire time down there,

155
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: so they were hoping like suddenly they were just going

156
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: to hit a bunch of shots and didn't happen. The Blazers,

157
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: you said it lead have been playing playoff basketball for

158
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: nine games prior now, if you count the play in game.

159
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Every game was high stakes, every fourth quarter where for

160
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: the most part, was really close because they allow a

161
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: lot of teams to stick around. And then I told

162
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: you LA was winning this thing in six before the

163
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: series even started. I don't even know who they were

164
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: playing because they have them impressed all that much. Man,

165
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: And then the Blazers like, look mellow moving his feet

166
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: on defense. You said Gary Trent Junior as well whiteside task,

167
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: was that the greatest whiteside game you've seen him play

168
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: in a Blazer's uniform. I'm not even kidding. I don't

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: even know what his box scorers idn't even looked at it.

170
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: He was making plays, he was engaged. He blocked a

171
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: couple of Lakers there late in this game. I thought

172
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: that was the best he's looked in a Portland uniform.

173
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: He definitely looked good.

174
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: I think the whole roster looked good because an eight

175
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: seed gets confidence when a one seed doesn't play like

176
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: a one seed. And that's what happened in the early

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: game with the Bucks and the Magic. The Lakers were

178
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: absolutely building the confidence of the Blazers in that game.

179
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: And so when Whiteside had five fouls and Nurkic had

180
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: five fouls, and Mellow had five fouls and Wendon Gabriel

181
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 4: had five fouls, the Lakers didn't do a thing about it.

182
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 4: They did not punish inside. They did not get one

183
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: of those guys fouled out. And Lebron is gonna get

184
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 4: stanking calls. He will if he goes up with confidence

185
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: and creates some body contact. He did it to Mellow

186
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: way out on the perimeter. Real fakey, fakey got a whistle.

187
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 4: The same thing happened with James Harden had Chris Paul

188
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: on his hip, just faky, fakey one and you're gonna

189
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: get a whistle. But even just go up with the

190
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: confidence of a seventeen year play into the lane. That's

191
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: that's done absolutely everything in this game. He just was

192
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 4: he was reluctant even though he was eight to fourteen

193
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: by the rim. That's lowered his percentage from earlier in

194
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: the playoffs. And I think again it's a trickle down effect.

195
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: Cruso didn't know where shots that were coming from. Same

196
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 4: with you know, Danny Green knows where they're coming from.

197
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: They're just not going to go in generally right now.

198
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: They're just not They're not happening. They just they had

199
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: advantages there, they had they they did, they did go

200
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: to the lane at times, they did go the rim

201
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: at times, and that's why all four of those they're

202
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: big men, had five fouls. But really, yeah, we we

203
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: give this game one thing, uh Lebron, this this this

204
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 4: feel o game thing. And and I suppose it's true.

205
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: When the Cavs went to the finals the last time

206
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: in twenty eighteen, they had four game ones. They were

207
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: two and two in those games, and you know they

208
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: they came back to win one of them. Anyways, against

209
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: the Indiana Pacers, came back to win one series. There.

210
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: It just it's it's it's just been too long a stretch.

211
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: It's not just one game, it's now in nine games

212
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: where they were kind of and down and unable to

213
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 4: finish games that they had three baskets in the last

214
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: seven minutes period. It's six points in the last seven minutes.

215
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: It just proves they're just they're not feeling good either.

216
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 4: It's not even just like, hey, let's flick this shot

217
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: up and see if it goes in. It's they just

218
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: look like they forgot how to drive and take body contact.

219
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 4: And yeah, a lot of a lot of game tape

220
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: and hopefully that helps them. I mean, they changed their

221
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: game plan.

222
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Do you think Vogel does something different right away in

223
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: game two or will he not overreact like will Kuzma

224
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: get the start? What do you think, Trey?

225
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: I think the biggest adjustment is Lebron being more aggressive.

226
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: But after that, I think you look at the stretch

227
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 5: in the third quarter where eighty was playing the five

228
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 5: and the Lakers look the best they did, you know,

229
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 5: when shots haven't been dropping, but the space helps, and

230
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 5: I think that playing Davis at the five encourages him

231
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: to be a little bit more closer to the rim,

232
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 5: So I think that that would be a key. You know,

233
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: Dwight was throwing his body around out there last night.

234
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 5: That dude was looking like a defensive end, just chucking

235
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 5: people aroun. Same with JaVale McGee. They were active on

236
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: the glass, they just weren't able to convert anything after

237
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: they grab the offensive rebounds. So maybe you give it

238
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 5: another game of playing a lot of big guys. But

239
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 5: then maybe it's Ad at the five or the entirety

240
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: of the series.

241
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: You're playing into what the Blazers can do. If you're

242
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 4: playing Anthony Davis at the four, and because they at

243
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: least have Nurkicen Whiteside to play, you know, throw Ad

244
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: at the five, they got to throw another wingman out there,

245
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: and then they get real thin. They don't have Trevorisa

246
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: out there. They get extremely thin. And when you play

247
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis at the five more the lane is way

248
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: more wide open, and so it'll be one on one

249
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: end there. You saw Lebron and Ad almost run into

250
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: each other at times, or Ad go in there and

251
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: Alex Caruso's danking around in there. They have to know

252
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 4: to get out onto the perimeter. That's how Lebron teams

253
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: survive and thrive, and the same goes for Anthony Davis.

254
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 4: He doesn't I guess you don't want to play in

255
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: forty eight minutes, But yeah, I KU's being subbed out

256
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: for after he hit that tough layan to put the

257
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: Lakers up six, it was eight minutes left and they

258
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 4: Frank Vogel yanked him. It didn't really make a lot

259
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: of sense to me. He was one of the guys

260
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 4: that was going in strong.

261
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: He's still one of the guys that could shoot. Yeah,

262
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: it's like there's no one that can hit a shot

263
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: right now. He's sort of one of these guys that

264
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: actually it looks decent and you took them out. That

265
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: was a crazy I think he put Green back in,

266
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: didn't he task in that one?

267
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: Yeah?

268
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Is that right? Green?

269
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Green was finishing. I think yeah, KCP gave them

270
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: nothing at all yesterday defensively or offensively. I mean, he's

271
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: out there as a bit of a stopper and he

272
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: didn't do any of that, and then he can't hit

273
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: a shot at all. But let's just give Hassan Whiteside

274
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: credit because you said at their skeets. That is by far,

275
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: by far the best game I've seen Hassan Whiteside played,

276
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: because he looked engaged, and he looked focused, and he

277
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: played to his height there. You know, he had the

278
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: five blocks, and I think that is an underrated part

279
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: of what we saw the Lakers struggling in the paid

280
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: for He was contesting shots, him and that Nurkic in

281
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: there together, and I'm like, this is not going to

282
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: work out all but it did. It did last night

283
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: because look, they're getting nothing out of his ownia and

284
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: nothing really out of Gary Trending. So Hassan Whiteside, they're

285
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: basically playing six players and one of those is Whiteside,

286
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: and we all know how he just checks out of games.

287
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: But last night, a couple of times in the pick

288
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: and roll, you'd see him hang back a little bit

289
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: because he didn't want to get killed by just a lob,

290
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: so he was reading the offense there and then on

291
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: defensive end making those like help help defense shot blocks.

292
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: A couple of times you saw him come over there,

293
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: just timed it perfectly. And then I mean he scored

294
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: I think he on scored eight points or something in

295
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: the end. I can't remember, but he was just a

296
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: factor on offense. I thought he was great. Can he

297
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: do that again at all for one game in this series? Maybe? Hope.

298
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: So I would love to see it because he was great.

299
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: But you know, when you've got Nurkic out there as well,

300
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: who's just battling, and you mentioned when Dwight comes in

301
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: there and Dwight is just throwing his arms around like that,

302
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: he gets a lot of silly foul still.

303
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 3: But I was throwback Dwaye last night twenty eleven.

304
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: It felt like with all the moving screens and just complaining.

305
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: To the refs twenty four to seven. Oh man, But

306
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: the Blazers.

307
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: And got something out of Gabriel last night, which I

308
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: was in.

309
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: Gabriel he gave them more in the first four minutes

310
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: of this game than I think Zach Collins had given

311
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: them the entire bubble rup.

312
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously, well, Zach's out with the ankle.

313
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: Before the ankle injury, he was given them nothing.

314
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: No, he wasn't right. He's too thin. But then Gabriel

315
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: is not a big guy either in terms of his size.

316
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: He's long, but I just thought he was active.

317
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: So this is.

318
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: Hopefully for the Blazers. This is more than just a

319
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: found money win, and hopefully the Lakers don't just sort of,

320
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: you know, okay, we're going to go out now and

321
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: blow this series out, because there were some encouraging signs

322
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: there for Portland that they could sustain this. It's just

323
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: whether or not guys like Whiteside will turn up again. Yeah.

324
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: I think that's fair because I don't think the Blazers

325
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: thought they played a great game. I mean, they did

326
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: it for them, at least in the bubble. I mean,

327
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: they only scored one hundred points. They went on a

328
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: great run, that nineteen six run to and Lillard will

329
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: get to him in a second. And of course McCollum

330
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: hitting key baskets. Gary Truck Junior. You said Lee had

331
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: a bad game, but he hit a clutch three. Mellow

332
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: classic clutch three. I mean, these guys, if you're gonna

333
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: pull off the upset, you do have to take game one.

334
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: If you're the lower seed, I mean you're the drastically

335
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: lower seed, you do, I mean, because then otherwise you're like,

336
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: you gotta win four to six against the better team,

337
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, so to speak. They got game one, they

338
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: got this done. Let's talk a littler though. This has

339
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: become insane to me these these three is trade that

340
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: he is hitting from thirty plus feet thirty five feet

341
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: off a pick and roll, a pick that's set near

342
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: half court, and he's stepping into it, and every time

343
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: he shoots it, I'm like, that's going in like, which

344
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: is so weird. I mean, it gets compared to Steph Curry,

345
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: but there's something to me, and maybe it's showing my

346
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: age where not where the shot locations are coming, but

347
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: just the killer instinct that the guy had. It's so

348
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, like to me at this point where it's

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: just like close game, need a three. Always when I

350
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: was a kid, I was like, well, Reggie's gonna get it,

351
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna screaming around a pick, coming in, stepping into it.

352
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: But here Lillard is just doing it. This is like

353
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: this weird way from forty feet just another insane closer.

354
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: And then he's dancing on the Lakers last night too. Yeah.

355
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: I think he's feeling a little bit confident down there

356
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 5: in the bubble, right, yeah.

357
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

358
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: And to throw it back to the nineties as well,

359
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 5: maybe not Reggie Miller, but Stacy King.

360
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: Hey, Lakers, did you not get the memo.

361
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 5: Damian Lillard pulls up from thirty five feet like, what

362
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 5: are you doing? I think we're gonna see a little

363
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: bit different game plan as well for the Lakers to

364
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: try and get the ball out of Lillard's hands a

365
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 5: little bit more. But if he is touching Jerry West,

366
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: you gotta have your hands up. The shot could go

367
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 5: up at any time if there's any sort of a screen,

368
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 5: you know, he's popping it and it's been money right now.

369
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: He's obviously feeling himself if he's able to be playing

370
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: clutch minutes, hitting huge shots and then dancing. That was

371
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: really awesome to see. It was and like it happened

372
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: right before the camera cut away to the point where

373
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 5: you're like, was Namian Willard just dancing?

374
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: Was he fixing his jersey? Like what was going on there?

375
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 5: Then you know, obviously Twitter picks up on it at

376
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: you're seeing the replay time and time again.

377
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: He said, I just had to go dumb.

378
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 5: Who has who among us hasn't had to go at

379
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 5: some point in our lives?

380
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: And you know, toalking about getting a hand uf Anthony

381
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: Davis did get it hand up on that super bomb there.

382
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: You know, like he came in and he gets up

383
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: and little nuts in it. But I love it when

384
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: Brian Anderson and Chris Web on the court, they just

385
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 2: lost their mind as well because they were just seeing it,

386
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 2: like you take. He took that first one, and then

387
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: he came around on that second one, and it was

388
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: just incredible to see that.

389
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: But I'm not really sure how you guard that. I mean,

390
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: I get Trey's right, I guess, try and get out

391
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: of his hands, put run out there forty feet, but

392
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: like at a certain point, the guy's too far away

393
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: from the basket to act.

394
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: No, he's not.

395
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 5: He's like honestly, honestly, you would rather have CJ. McCollum

396
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 5: take a shot than Damian Lillard right now. And you

397
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 5: would definitely rather have Wayan Gabriel take a shot than

398
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 5: Damian Lillard. Would triple team him as soon as he

399
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 5: comes across half short and take your chance it with

400
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: somebody else.

401
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild. It's like we're at the point where

402
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: you'd rather have Wayan Gabriel try like a little two

403
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: foot floater with no one around him than Damian Lillard

404
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: pulling up from forty feet with two guys sort of

405
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: challenging the shot. Yeah, because it's.

406
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 5: Only three points, but it feels like it's a hundred points.

407
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: Just so demoralizing. You're like, oh, we let him do it.

408
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 5: We did too, in our face.

409
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: But that's how Mellow got his three as well, because

410
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: Lilid was like, I know they're coming at me. He

411
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: just found it. He found it and Mellow knocked it down.

412
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: So he did that. He did that to someone else too,

413
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: where it was just like, all right, if you're going

414
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: to throw three guys at me, then I am going

415
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 2: to make the pass because someone is going to get

416
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: an open look. Might have been Gary Trent actually, but

417
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: as that, that just shows how lili it is. Like,

418
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: you know, he's got he's in their heads where they're like,

419
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: he could literally hit this from half court, so we

420
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: have to try to trap him as best we can,

421
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: and he's like, all right, I'll make the pass.

422
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: Incredible. Yeah, what's uh? What's uh? He talked about? You

423
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: know they're playing blow the whistle after he hits that

424
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: big three. Also, what do you do in Lakers team music?

425
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: Guy?

426
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, why why are you playing East Oakland anthem

427
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: from the opposition hitting the three and then he's dancing

428
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: on You know that guy should be fired or woman

429
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: should be fired immediately. But lee is there is there

430
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: an East Sunbury anthem? What would be the song player?

431
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: Probably something from ac DC. Okay, you know for those

432
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: of bat to Rock Highway to Hell, that's why that stoughts.

433
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Okay, you go dumb to that?

434
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Sach.

435
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: Can you do that? David brent to an A. I

436
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: know you don't got a lot of boobs, but I'd

437
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: love to see.

438
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: If he put out the divid brand met.

439
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: Doing that.

440
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: So, I mean, has your opinion on the series changed

441
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: at all? Can the Blazers do this? Can they pull

442
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: off the upset?

443
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: There's a chance, sure, if the Lakers are going to

444
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 4: play to this level. I think the good sign for

445
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: the Lakers is that they kind of took away the

446
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: big scoring the ball. Then the Bigs are use of

447
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: Nurkic and Carmel Anthony really to score. They did a

448
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: good job of staying down on those two guys.

449
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

450
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 4: You saw a lot of chucks from Mellow and use

451
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: of Nurkic when they got inside because they thought they

452
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: were gonna get foul calls. But the Lakers are big enough.

453
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: They they both had bad nights, and overall the defense

454
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: was was all right, the Laker that clip, but sorry,

455
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: the Blazers shot thirty nine percent from the floor, and

456
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: so yeah, they're up six, you know, about eight minutes

457
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 4: to go if that's correct when Kuz was pulled there, yeah,

458
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: and uh and then they decided that they couldn't hit

459
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: a shot. So yeah, of course the Blazers have a

460
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 4: shot if the Lakers can't get comfortable knowing where their

461
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: shot locations are. I think that's the important part here

462
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: is Lebron's a cerebral dude. He just has to think

463
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 4: the game through. And that's why we've seen some Game

464
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: one duds and game two you'd assume that they'd be

465
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 4: a lot more comfortable on the floor knowing what the

466
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 4: hell's going on.

467
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: I have this weird thing where it feels like Lillard

468
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: is Doctor Strange JD. I don't know if you're still listening,

469
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: like he's he's somehow seen the future and he knows

470
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: how this all plays out because he's got this just

471
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: creepy confidence to him, and it even translates into these

472
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: like postgame comments like last night with Jared Greenberg. It's

473
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: just like he's just on another level because he seems

474
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: to know what's gonna happen. He knows the future of

475
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: this bubble. And maybe it is the Blazer's playing off

476
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: the upset. Maybe it is the Blazers going deep, like

477
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: Chuck says, well, I guess Chuck says they're sweeping them

478
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: now too. After Game one, he had the broom out

479
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: there on inside. It's creepy. It's creepy. I love it.

480
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: I don't see you know, I heard a lot of

481
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: other people saying the Q rating for Damian Lillard is

482
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: off the charts right now, unless maybe you're a Lakers

483
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: fan and you got to put up with this, but

484
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: tough not to root for him. The only thing I

485
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: have to ask about this game before we move on here, guys,

486
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard. We saw him dunk at the one time

487
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: and he dislaunched the rim a little bit, or he

488
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: had it off kilter. Game was delayed a bit. Everybody's

489
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: looking at it. I saw Ashley Doking tweet, how stressed

490
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: are you if you're that guy that has to level

491
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: the rim? That's exactly what I thought I'd be freaking out.

492
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like all eyes on you. We got

493
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: to get this thing going here.

494
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 5: Oh you mean Larry Hall, Yeah, Larry Hall and the

495
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 5: shout outs on the broadcast.

496
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm just impressed.

497
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 5: I think NBA players are batting one hundred, batting one

498
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: thousand on calling when the basket is tilted right like

499
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 5: they always call it, and you're like, yeah, right, man,

500
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 5: Like how is this actually tilted? And then they come

501
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 5: out and the rest measure and they're like, yep, it

502
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: was off by a half a percent. We got to

503
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 5: stop the game. Get Larry out here.

504
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: They always know.

505
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 4: Damian Lillar came out, was at the free throw line,

506
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 4: looked at He's like, what, it's fine, just let him

507
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 4: shoot on it. And they cut away from that real

508
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 4: quick as well. He wanted to just keep on flowing.

509
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: I thought the moment to me, like the nice little

510
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 4: heartwarming moment of the game was when in Gabriel we

511
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: talked to starting for the Blazers because that Collins out

512
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 4: undrafted rook out of Kentucky and they had him miked

513
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: up and after he went to the bench, he's, you know,

514
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 4: holding his nose up because he got a bloody nose,

515
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: and he was yelling, he telling his buddy on the bench,

516
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 4: whoever was said, I got.

517
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 3: My first bloody nose my life.

518
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: It was from lebroad Body knows an incredible, incredible story

519
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: that he'll be able to tell his his family as

520
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 4: soon as he gets home from this bubble.

521
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going here. Next game, Western

522
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: Conference game Hardens thirty seven points, leads the Rockets past

523
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: the Thunder in Game one. Take it away, Trey.

524
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: It's just one game, but the Thunder cannot play Rockets basketball.

525
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 5: I thought that that was if the Rockets are going

526
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 5: to win this series. That was exactly how you want

527
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 5: to see things going.

528
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: If you're Houston.

529
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 5: You know, they hit a whole bunch of threes, and

530
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 5: by the start of the second half it was such

531
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 5: an advantage for Houston that it seems tough for OKAC

532
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: to really make up a huge deficit, right because they're

533
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 5: not really going to shoot their way back into the

534
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 5: game compared to the Rockets. The Steven Adams post ups

535
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 5: aren't going to be cutting it. When you're trailing by

536
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: fifteen points. You're not going to go run down there

537
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 5: and try and run action through a big guy. And

538
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: then once once you have kind of settled on Steven

539
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 5: Adams maybe not having a whole bunch of effectiveness. With

540
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 5: lou Dort out, there's not a lot of options for

541
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 5: the Thunder once they have to go to the bench

542
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 5: and bring in guys. You saw Hamadu Diallo had a

543
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 5: couple of air balls on three pointers. Dennis Shreuder was brutal,

544
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 5: Chris Paul didn't have a great game, didn't really assert

545
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 5: himself in shape. I think needed to be a little

546
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 5: bit better. If you're going to be playing against the

547
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 5: small ball team and you end up having to go

548
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 5: a little bit small, throwing Mike Mascala out there during

549
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 5: crunch time or whatever you want to call it. As

550
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: close to crunch time as you could call it yesterday's game.

551
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 5: It's just a tough matchup. The Rockets are ready to

552
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: play that way. They play that way all year long,

553
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 5: and that's just their normal style. Houston at their best

554
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 5: makes other teams play the way they play. You saw

555
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 5: Oka see getting into so many We have to attack

556
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: this mismatch one on one games, and that's not the

557
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 5: way things work out well for the Thunder. I don't

558
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 5: think that's a two pointer for them. You know, that's

559
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 5: a very mid range heavy team, whereas the Rockets they

560
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 5: are going to iso you. They are gonna work those

561
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 5: switches until they get the right matchup they want. But

562
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 5: that's how they've been playing all year long. Chris Paul

563
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 5: said afterwards, we haven't played a team like this. It's

564
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 5: going to take us a while to adjust. You saw

565
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter it looked like Okac was moving

566
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: the ball a little bit more, a little less one

567
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 5: on one, and that was more effective for him. So

568
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: I think that that's how Okac has to play if

569
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: they're going to beat the Rockets, because if it becomes

570
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 5: Rockets basketball, that's an advantage for Houston. We saw it

571
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 5: against the Warriors back in the day, when the Warriors

572
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 5: would get into one on one fest, that's when Houston

573
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 5: was at their best to beat him. Like you've said before, Skeets,

574
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 5: you got to move the ball.

575
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for especially like that switchy defense from the Rockets.

576
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: It had the Thunder looking completely out of swords and

577
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: like there's this little player ball movement. I know Van

578
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: Gunny was talking about that. And yet outside of like

579
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Steven Adams getting like those odd little mismatches, which I

580
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: think Houston would live with and that's what you're saying, Trey, Like,

581
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, he abused Eric Gordon at one point early

582
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: and had nice like rim run on Daniel House a

583
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: little later and like out rebounding some of the smaller guys.

584
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: But you're they're fine with that, especially when the Rockets

585
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: are hitting twenty threes lely shooting forty eight percent from

586
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: the field. Harden's locked in doing his step backs like

587
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: this basically was to Something's not like the perfect game

588
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: I thought for the Rockets in a game one versus

589
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: a team that we think could challenge them in this series.

590
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hodden ended with thirty seven points, but it didn't

591
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: feel like he had thirty seven. It felt like he

592
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 2: was a lut quiet because I thought Eric Gordon was

593
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: incredible for the Rockets driving inside too. He only took

594
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: six three pointers, which is not that many. Eric Gordon

595
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: usually takes over game, so he actually sort of stayed

596
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: sort of didn't shoot all that many. But I think

597
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: the thunder were expecting to shoot more because he kept

598
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: driving inside, and I think they thought, oh, he's not

599
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: going to keep doing that, but he did. And then

600
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: Jeff Green coming off the bench, Jeffreyen's going to get

601
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: a max contract next season because he has.

602
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't be hypnotized by Jeff Green.

603
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: But how can you not be hypnotized by Jeff Green

604
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: when you see what he did yesterday. He was a

605
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 2: plus twenty eight, twenty two points, six to three, bends,

606
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: three threes, and he just looked incredible out there. But

607
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: that's the thing. So two things, and Trey mentioned there.

608
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: I thought the offense on Okac was awful. There was

609
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: no ball movement. It was so stagnant. They looked like

610
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: they were rusty and just didn't quite know what they

611
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: were doing out there. And for the Houston Rockets, when

612
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: you have you know, your Green hitting three threes, Ben

613
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: mcklamore hit for Daniel House hit a couple or he

614
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: only hit one in the end, PJ Tucker hit them.

615
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: That to me, that is when their offense is at

616
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: its best and it looks like this is an effective

617
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: strategy that could take them a long way because it's

618
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: like James Harden had to have thirty seven points, but

619
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: he doesn't need to carry the team like he done

620
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 2: in the past. He just goes out there gets his

621
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: points and then while he's not out on the floor,

622
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: you see all these other guys contributing, so very, very

623
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: impressive performance by Houston. I thought Covington was fantastic defensively

624
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: for them too, and some Thunder, you know, they had

625
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: that lineup. They mentioned it on the broadcast there where

626
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: it's the three guards, Gallinari and Steven Adams, which was

627
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: apparently the most effective five man unit for the entire

628
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: league this season, and they started to make up a

629
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: little bit of ground there, but they were too far

630
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: behind and Houston kept hitting threes and the Thunder weren't

631
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: able to keep up. So yeah, I expect some adjustments,

632
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: mainly on the offensive end from Okay see, because they've

633
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: got to just keep that ball moving and try to

634
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: get Houston running around a little bit. I think that

635
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: was a big problem for him yesterday. So we'll see

636
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: how that changes. Because Chris Paul ended up with almost

637
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: a triple double, but the same thing, he didn't really

638
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: seem to put his stamp on the game. I didn't

639
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 2: think they were chasing the rockets all day, and that's

640
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: the worst place to be if you're playing Houston. Once

641
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: they built up a lead, they're very hard to pull

642
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: back in. It feels like that anyway, when guys are

643
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: hitting all those threes.

644
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: Task takeaways from this one.

645
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 4: I don't know what the thunder we're doing to start

646
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 4: the game going to Steven Adams over and over and over.

647
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: I mean, he never does that. It's never part of

648
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: the game to go to Steven Adams as a post player.

649
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 4: He's not a post player. It just it took them

650
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: out of sorts big time. They stopped playing the way

651
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 4: they played, They stopped moving the ball and getting guys

652
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 4: involved in so a lot of these guys playing their

653
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 4: first playoff game were kind of just, you know, all

654
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 4: deer in the headlights while the other team and the

655
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: Rockets were up for the task. We ridiculed them a

656
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 4: lot for not playing defense, but they were obviously really

657
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 4: really intensely into this game, and I think that sort

658
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: of took okay see out of the way they play period.

659
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: And other takeaways that Eric Gordon really is the new

660
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook. I mean, he was awesome. I thought, yeah,

661
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 4: he's hasn't had a good year. I was definitely worried

662
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: about him coming into the series replacing Russell Westbrook in

663
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 4: the starting lineup, but they desperately need his offense, and

664
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: you see the shot distribution amongst the Rockets. All the

665
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 4: time it's Harden Russ and then everybody else gets a few.

666
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 4: I mean everybody else basically in single digits. Gordon stepped

667
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 4: into that role perfectly, and he looked like he was

668
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 4: ready for playoff ball. And then I would just say,

669
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: from game one to game two with this, OK see team,

670
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, they're going to look drastically different. They're

671
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: going to move the ball and Harden. I've gone back

672
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: into our old starters documents to reference this, but Harden

673
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: drops off from game one to game two. He always

674
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: comes out a blazing with he shoots like forty from

675
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: three point land when it comes to his Rockets game once,

676
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 4: but going back to all the way back to twelve

677
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: thirteen when he came to the Rockets in game two,

678
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: he drops off big time. I don't know what the

679
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: heck it is. I doubt it's the defense, really, I mean,

680
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: what are you going to do with James Harden? But

681
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I don't know.

682
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: But that may not happen in the bubble task because

683
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: maybe after those awesome game ones, he hits the strip,

684
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: club goes out, has a blast. He has too many drinks.

685
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: Maybe that's not gonna happen down here in the bubble.

686
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: What's the status on Ludor too for game two? I'm

687
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure. If he's going to be back.

688
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: He would help slow James Harden. He can't stop James Harden,

689
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: but it helps slow him.

690
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: I think they're expecting him back, but I don't think

691
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: it's been confirmed because he was a sort of game

692
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: time decision there going into the first game, I think.

693
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I wonder too, like how much can Adams play?

694
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it as a preview for

695
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: this series, like how much can he play? We all

696
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: like him, he's great, He's been good down there in

697
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: the bubble for oka see. But in this matchup, especially

698
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: with him not being a rim protector, you guys said

699
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: it like at times the Rockets were just like it

700
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: was a layup line. I mean, there's really no there's

701
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: no anyone at the rim to prevent it. And that's

702
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: just Adams, that's not him. So I wonder if we

703
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: could just see and this would fall I think into

704
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: the trap with what the Rockets would want you to do.

705
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: You want to play small ball, Let's go put Gallinari

706
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: at the five, let's dance. It may not work either.

707
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: So this could be just a tough matchup for okay see,

708
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's just one game. You would hope Billy

709
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Donovan's going to make some adjustments, Chris Paul, you think

710
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: is gonna have a little bit more control over the game.

711
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: And maybe the Rockets don't hit twenty threes. That's the

712
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: other thing. All those guys who said outside of Harden

713
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: really or maybe hard and two because he sucks in

714
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: game twos for whatever reason, maybe that's ten threes and

715
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: it's a completely different game. But they're a bit of

716
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: an avalanche team. When they hit a couple, it feels

717
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: like it just catches fire to everybody, and that balls

718
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: is ziping around. Especially when you take Westbrook out of

719
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: the equation, it just moves a little bit more freely.

720
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: It feels like I was happy to see the Rockets

721
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: playing two bigs for a lot of the night, playing

722
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Green and PJ.

723
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: Tucker. They're two centers alongside each other.

724
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: We got we know that there's not gonna be a

725
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 5: Jeff Green game every single game. That's the definition of

726
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 5: Jeff Green, right, He's gonna have an incredible highlight tape

727
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 5: at the end of his career, and you're gonna look

728
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: and be like, what, he never made an All Star team?

729
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 5: How does he have this kind of a highlight tape?

730
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 5: But the Rockets won the Jeff Green game.

731
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: That's the key.

732
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: When the guy really really well, you gotta win those

733
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 5: games because if he has a six point game, yeah,

734
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 5: maybe not having as good of a chance at winning,

735
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 5: you gotta perform when Jeff performs.

736
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah, and the Blazers won the white Side game.

737
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: I mean, who's Who's who's more likely to back up

738
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: their game one performance? Whitsider Jeff Green.

739
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: I mean, the thing is what you've got.

740
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go with well, I'll go with Jeff Green,

741
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: Jeff Green, Jeff really, but I hope it's Whiteside because

742
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: because because Whiteside, I mean we've all piled on him

743
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: as well here because he just doesn't give a shit

744
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: most of the time when he's out there, but when

745
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: he does, he was great. But Jeff, Jeff Green, I

746
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: will say, has been pretty good in the bubble.

747
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been pretty good, that's fair.

748
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 2: But this is a good a good situation for him

749
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: because when that ball moves around. He gets a lot

750
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: of open shots, and it's like, all you got to

751
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: do is hit those shots, Jeff, and you'll stay on

752
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: the court.

753
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: And Jeff, it's.

754
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: Fun to column.

755
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: Jeff ye really good.

756
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got he's got a great name.

757
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: I would say. I would say there's something we always

758
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: say about role players in the playoffs is that they

759
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: play well at home and stink on the road for

760
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 4: some reason. But now across the across the board through

761
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: two games, role players are just playing good basketball. And

762
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: maybe it's because it's more like a road or more

763
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: like a neither. I mean, I don't I don't know.

764
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 4: They're just playing to their capabilities. Really, it's just a

765
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: road road. Crowd isn't taking them away from anything or

766
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 4: it's taken them out of anything. They are playing better.

767
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 4: And they also won the Ben McLamore game. This was

768
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: his first playoff game of his career in his seventh

769
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 4: season here, and he was on fire with four threes.

770
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 4: He was Everybody I think on that roster is just

771
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: feeling so good because they whacked okay See in the

772
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: first quarter. Okay See was taken aback. It's I think

773
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: it was the same with the Bucks for some strange reason,

774
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 4: and they couldn't fight back, and they were obviously dictating

775
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: the game. And okay, he wasn't dictating a thing, but

776
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 4: the thing, even Mike D'Antoni said postgame, they hadn't seen

777
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: us since we made our trade, since we went to

778
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 4: small ball, and they're going to adjust. And that's what

779
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: we always say about teams playing against this new style.

780
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 4: Can they win throughout it a series, back to back series?

781
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think Billy Donovan, he's been voted Coach

782
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 4: of the Year four times since it didn't coming down

783
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 4: to the bubble, I think he will have the ability

784
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 4: to turn it around. He's a good basketball coach. And

785
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: yet Chris Paul, I don't know what the hell happen

786
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 4: to Chris Paul. I think he was, you know, fine,

787
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 4: stat line's fine, good, very good even, But yeah, he

788
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 4: just he forgot how to play against his old team.

789
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy in our playoff preview, tradeed such a

790
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: fine job of making the case that the Rockets were

791
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: going to win this series that I actually changed my

792
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: prediction right there live on the podcast and went with

793
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: you with the Rockets and seven but Tass and Lee

794
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: I'll start with you Lee, what you saw in game one.

795
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: You guys took the Thunder to win this series. Any

796
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: regrets to that after just the one game.

797
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think I picked them in six, I have

798
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: to lose two games, so still I still got that.

799
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: I just honestly thought the Thunder were very, very order.

800
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: I haven't been all that impressive on the Dan in

801
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: the bubble, so I'm sort of whiting for them to

802
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: shake things off a little bit and become the team

803
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: that I saw during the regular season before the suspension.

804
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: So I'll stick with my prediction for a couple of reasons. Again,

805
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: I think the Thunder win it. But I also think

806
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: we are going to see a James Harden game where

807
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: he goes missing, whether it's in second or third game,

808
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: and I just think the Thunder are going to come

809
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: out We're a little bit more focus and determination. Also,

810
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: Dennis Shrewder, who was bad yesterday, but that was his

811
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: first game since coming back in the bubble, so give

812
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: him a little bit of a pass in that sense.

813
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: I think the Thunder will be a better team from

814
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: here on out in the series. But again, when the

815
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: Rockets play like they did yesterday, that is when they're

816
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: at their best, and it is going to be interesting

817
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: when Westbrook comes back because clearly he makes them better.

818
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: But they do play differently when he's out there, and

819
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: I sometimes feel when James Harden's in that role, it's

820
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: almost like Chris Paul. He's better with when he doesn't

821
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: have anyone sort of encroaching his territory for who's the

822
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 2: best player on the team. I think he sometimes is

823
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: better when he's in a flow, when he knows, no

824
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: question he's the best player and he can just control

825
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: the offense like he did.

826
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, it'd be no rush right now after taking game

827
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: one to break us spreads like panicking already? Task What

828
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: about you changing your prediction thunder and seven. I think

829
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: you went with yeah, so I'm cool with it. Yeah.

830
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: I thought the Rockets would take game one, especially with

831
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 4: lou Dort out, But lud Dort he is he really

832
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 4: helps their depth anyways. You know, taking Terrence Ferguson out

833
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: of the starting lineup reducing some minutes for Hamadu Diallos,

834
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 4: so uh, you know that the fact that he was

835
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 4: out important and hopefully he'll be back in game two.

836
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 4: I think his status is up in the air, but

837
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: Billy Donovan said that he's been making some solid progress.

838
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Lou Dortness Loudart, Ludart. Okay, we're gonna get to the

839
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference here in a second, but before we do,

840
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,880

869
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: Butt Vucevic Magic upset the top seeded Bucks in game one,

870
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: one twenty two to one ten. Yes, we had both

871
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: number eight seeds Tasks win their first game against the

872
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: number one seats. First time that's happened since two thousand

873
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: and three, when the Spurs and the Pistons lost their game.

874
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: Ones worked out for the Spurs at the end. They

875
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: won a title that year. But what do you think?

876
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: It's just one game, but from this Magic upset.

877
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 4: It's just one game. But the Bucks are a regular

878
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 4: season team. It's a little bit scary the way that

879
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 4: they play that everybody eats. You know that we're playing

880
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 4: eleven guys here, and you guys will, you know, just

881
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 4: take your shots when you get open shots. But the

882
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: open shots don't come as clear and as often as

883
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 4: they do during the regular season when teams are playing

884
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 4: eight defense. So Giannis is going to get his that's

885
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 4: for sure. He's good enough. There's some worries with him,

886
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: But I'm more worried about the number two, number three,

887
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: number four, number five guys on this team, and I

888
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 4: think it's a real concern. I'm, you know, going overboard

889
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 4: with it. They're just a regular season team here. I

890
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: think they'll be fine against the Magic, But when it

891
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: comes to a couple series later on, when you're playing

892
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: really good teams, this this whole thing of just waiting

893
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 4: around till there's an open shot for guys like Chris Middleton,

894
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 4: where he's just a little reluctant. He just doesn't take

895
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: over himself. I think Bud has to force feed him

896
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: a little bit and tell him it's his play instead

897
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 4: of just we're whipping it around to Dante Devincenzo and

898
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 4: waiting for Pat Conaton and Korver and Robin Lopez. They're

899
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 4: playing so many guys right now that they're not getting

900
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: enough out of their best guys, especially when it's it's

901
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 4: not clear who their fourth and fifth guys are going

902
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: to be. And the same goes for brook Lopez, a

903
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 4: fantastically talented offensive player, and he just he stopped playing.

904
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 4: He stopped playing on both ends. He took himself out

905
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 4: of the game defense in this one and allowed Nikola

906
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: Vucevich to go for thirty five points at the other end.

907
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 4: He's a talented NBA player of Vucovic's, So when he

908
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 4: gets confidence, if you stop playing defense against them, brook

909
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: Lope has just stopped. He'd stopped tagging him, he stopped

910
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 4: doing everything. Yeah, he's gonna hit open shots, he's gonna

911
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 4: hit five threes. And so those two dudes, I call

912
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 4: him a regular season team because those two guys have

913
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 4: to get into playoff mode. And is Budenholtz are going

914
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 4: to tell Middleton, hey, this is your play. You got

915
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 4: at least take it to the bucket then make a play.

916
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 4: And the same goes for brook Lop as I thought

917
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 4: it was sort of part of their DNA now to

918
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 4: get brook Lopez in the paint, as you know, as

919
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: a new wrinkles as an alternative game player action to

920
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: Giannis just barreling down the lane because teams are ready

921
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 4: for that now, and so Budenholtzer has to respond and say,

922
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 4: those two guys because we're not sure if Wesley Matthews

923
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 4: is going to be on the floor, We're not sure

924
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 4: if Eric Bledsoe is going to be on the floor.

925
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 4: We're not sure who the hell the fourth and fifth

926
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 4: guys are going to be. He's got to get those

927
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 4: two guys going. So they're not just a regular season

928
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 4: team like that the Hawks were a couple of years

929
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 4: ago when he had them at sixty wins. He's got

930
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 4: to get them going and not just chill out. And

931
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: the defensive end is where they lost this game. But

932
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 4: I'm more more concerned about, you know, sort of going

933
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 4: forward with the way that they play.

934
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think Lee is Like we saw

935
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: the Magic win game one versus the Raptors last year.

936
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: It was this similar to you A little bit more

937
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: of a concern with what you saw for the Bucks

938
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: and how they were completely outplayed in this because that

939
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: Raptor's magic won. I mean, that was a very very close,

940
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: ugly game and Raptors didn't play well, not that the

941
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: Bucks did, but this was a bit of a dominant win,

942
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: honestly for a number eight seed. They led most of

943
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: the game, and they had all these guys splashing threes

944
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: and just like it's like the flip of the Lakers,

945
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: awesome offensive team outside of the bubble, can't hit a

946
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: shot in it. The Bucks one of the best defenses

947
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: we've seen in a long time pre pandemic. Suddenly and

948
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: this is like not just one game. This isn't like

949
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 1: a nine game trend. Now they have not been great.

950
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: Magic shot thirty nine percent nearly from three and near

951
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: fifty from the floor. What's are you worried at all

952
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: from this one?

953
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not worried for this series. I think the

954
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: Bucks get out of it. But I am a little

955
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 2: concern now about playoff coach Budd because we saw him

956
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 2: when he was at the Hawks. Great regular season team

957
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: gets swept by the Cavs again against Lebron fair enough

958
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: in the conference finals, and then last year they're leading

959
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: the Raptors to oh and then they effectively get swept

960
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 2: by the Raptors in the conference finals as well. I

961
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: think Budd does struggle to adjust in time. I think

962
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 2: he tends to sort of keep things going the way

963
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: that has worked during the regular season a little bit

964
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 2: too long, and now he's got a very early opportunity

965
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: here to try to correct things. But I think we

966
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: have what's the correction though, Well, that's the thing. I mean,

967
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: what does he need to do? Last year, the problem

968
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: was offensively, I think they struggled. I know that the

969
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: defensive move of getting Kawai onto Yanna's helped, but they

970
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 2: didn't seem to have another alternative outside of just having

971
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 2: Yanna sort of play like dominant bully ball. So he's

972
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: going to have to get other guys involved. But he's

973
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 2: also got problems with Eric Bledsoe, who again yesterday playoff

974
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: Bledsoe turned up. I don't think he was very good,

975
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: and he just tends to get hesitant. I think Ledsae

976
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: needs to drive a little bit more, get inside and

977
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 2: try to get some easy baskets. But I think we're

978
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: also probably not giving just enough respect to Orlando. They

979
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 2: came out yesterday. If you're the Magic, don't I don't

980
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: remember seeing really anyone predict the Magic to win any

981
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: more than maybe one game in this series. Those guys

982
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 2: must see all that and be like, no one thinks

983
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: we're even a chance. I didn't think we can compete.

984
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 2: And they came out and they were ready, and I

985
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: think I think Milwaukee were probably a little bit like,

986
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: we're going to blow this team out, so we'll just

987
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: come out and you know, we'll turn up when we're

988
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 2: ready and we'll win this game. But Vujovich was fantastic yesterday.

989
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: I thought he gave, he took what the defense gave him,

990
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: hitting those shots, knocking in threes, and we've talked about

991
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: the Jeff Green and Hassan Whit's I what about a

992
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: Gary Clark game.

993
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: He hit four threes at four.

994
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: And he did it four. Yeah, I thought it was

995
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: only three, but.

996
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: He hit three all late and it's hit a couple. Yeah.

997
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: They were on fire.

998
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: So you know, there was some things that happened in

999
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,479
Speaker 2: this game. You're like, man, they just kept hitting shots

1000
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: because the Bucks made a few of those pushes. But

1001
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 2: then Orlando seem to sort of always have an answer.

1002
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: Again one game. Not overly concerned. I think the Bucks win.

1003
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 2: Maybe it goes to six games though, but you expect that.

1004
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: You know, Giannis will come out and try to put

1005
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a stamp. But he was

1006
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 2: good yesterday. But it's those guys. It's bled. So it's Brook,

1007
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: Lopez and again Middleton. They need to be the ones

1008
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 2: who really step up and dominate this series.

1009
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Middleton did little to quiet his critics. Trey was

1010
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: a really bad Chris Middleton game? Was he four to sixteen?

1011
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: I think overall in the end, what did you think

1012
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: from the Bucks?

1013
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 5: Very littleton From Chris Middleton, it was not good. And

1014
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 5: I felt like I was watching the Golden State Warriors

1015
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 5: of the nineteen nineties run TMC. That's run. There's too

1016
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 5: much content. How was this guy getting every shot down

1017
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 5: the stretch for the Bucks? That was crazy to me.

1018
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 5: You got to shorten the rotation. You play your best

1019
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 5: players as many minutes as it takes. But ultimately I

1020
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 5: come down on congratulating the Milwaukee Bucks for winning the

1021
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 5: twenty twenty NBA Championship. If you lose to the Magic

1022
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 5: in your first game, wow, you see what happens?

1023
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: Good things came to the Raptors year. There's no doubt.

1024
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah it was bad. It was bad, but they've been

1025
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: bad the entire time. Again, this wasn't just a one

1026
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: game thing. This is where I keep coming back with

1027
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: the Lakers. It really isn't. They've been bad for like

1028
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: two weeks now. Again, Lakers offensively buck sort of defensively,

1029
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: they're checked out a little bit. I am a little

1030
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: shocked that it felt like task we were like going

1031
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: a little hard on Lebron. You know, we're talking about

1032
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: that Lakers loss, that Lebron's got to do more despite

1033
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: the numbers. Lebron's got to do this, got to get

1034
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: everybody engaged, and feels like we're giving the honest a

1035
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: pass here. Like I'll say it, like the guy went

1036
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: without a field goal. He's the MVP for the final

1037
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: eleven minutes of this game. He was nowhere to be found.

1038
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: Why why is he? I know he had a great

1039
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: line too, but he's got to be better. He's their guy,

1040
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: He's he has to be the litler. He has to

1041
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: be there. Lebron, he's the honest man. He's gonna be

1042
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: a two time MVP. And it was like I didn't

1043
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: even know he was out there sometimes in the fourth quarter,

1044
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: he had no real imprint on the game late.

1045
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 4: Sure he should be should have more of an imprint,

1046
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 4: but he also didn't get to have a number two

1047
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 4: performance at all. And so yeah, we can ridicule Lebron,

1048
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 4: But Anthony Davis, we know he got lots of ridicule too.

1049
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, he just he needed some more support.

1050
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, that's just the way Yannis is. Though

1051
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 4: you know, we don't. We are definitely going to ridicule

1052
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 4: him in round three if it comes down to what

1053
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 4: happened against the Raptors where he got inside in the

1054
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 4: lane and couldn't figure it out. He should be able

1055
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 4: to figure it out now with some sort of flip

1056
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 4: shot or something. But he passes and he finds guys,

1057
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 4: and so I think it's fair to be disappointed in

1058
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 4: every single other Milwaukee Buck. That's it's it's crazy that

1059
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 4: they have They rolled out ten other guys and nobody

1060
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 4: really had a solid game, you know whatever. There was

1061
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 4: a couple guys who did have solid games, but I mean,

1062
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 4: the real guys, when it comes down to end of

1063
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 4: game performance, end of game production, who the heck is

1064
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 4: going to do it, and that's it's fair to I

1065
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 4: think for Bud to say, Chris Middleton, take this thing.

1066
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 4: You know, we'll set you up. It's your shot. Brook,

1067
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 4: We'll set you up. It's your shot. More post place

1068
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 4: for him. It just has to happen. That's sort of

1069
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 4: what people ridiculed. But about last year and even Malcolm Brogden,

1070
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 4: who was a really talented guy out there, why not

1071
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 4: have him on the floor at times? Why not, you know,

1072
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: let him play a little bit. That's what it came

1073
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 4: down to, because nobody else was doing anything. Malcolm Brogden

1074
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 4: should be a third, fourth option on a championship team.

1075
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: I think it's very more to ridicule Chris Middleton. We're

1076
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 4: talking fifty to forty ninety. We're talking Brook Lopez, a

1077
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 4: great guy in one broken chair yesterday. He wasn't playing basketball.

1078
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 4: He was just he was hammering chairs because he wants

1079
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 4: to stay as long as possible in Disney.

1080
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: I get it. It's through the game, is that it?

1081
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: Ah?

1082
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 1: Wow?

1083
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1084
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: Every series goes to seven.

1085
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's why it's impossible against to bet against the

1086
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 4: Bucks because Brook Lopez is sticking around, He's not getting bounced.

1087
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 4: In the first series but the guy is, he's a

1088
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 4: former All Star. You should not have five points. He

1089
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 4: should not get out played that way by Nikolovucevic. Go

1090
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 4: back watch the tape what Marcus Old did to him

1091
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 4: last year in the first round after Game one. He

1092
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 4: bodied him, embodied him, embodied him. Just play defense. Brook

1093
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 4: Lopez is a defensive Player of the Year candidate. So yeah,

1094
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 4: Yannis was, he was good enough. The other guys who

1095
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 4: are really talented, the number two and number three guys

1096
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 4: got to be better for me.

1097
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: The Bucks have also gotten really sloppy. I've noticed with

1098
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: the basketball in the bubble. I mean, this is a

1099
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: team that usually takes care of it, but they're up

1100
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: to sixteen and a half turnovers per game, which is

1101
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: significantly more than what they were averaging in the regular season.

1102
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: I need Chuman to a fact check me on that,

1103
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: but it feels like it. So they just got to

1104
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: play better. But they've been They've just been out of

1105
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: sorts down there. This has not gone well. They're what

1106
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: now overall? I guess they're three and six record wise.

1107
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: I know Johannis missed some of those games and other

1108
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: guys were resting some of those games, but yeah, this

1109
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: will be. This is like, I don't know, does it

1110
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: suddenly become a must win game two Lee at all

1111
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: for the Bucks? Or am I even going too far

1112
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: with that?

1113
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: I mean not I think it's must mean, but I

1114
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 2: think it's a must improve game for them. There was

1115
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: there was a player. I mean, Yana's ended up going

1116
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: three for seven from downtown and he's tried to add

1117
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: that to his game this year, But there was a player.

1118
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: I think it was there about eight points back the

1119
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: Bucks in the fourth quarter, and Orlando were kind of

1120
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 2: like because he pulled up and hit a shot a

1121
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: threat and bricked it, and I think Orlando's kind of like,

1122
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: We'll still let you take those threes. Yes, you know,

1123
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: you know, so you know he hit a couple, so

1124
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: it wasn't like he went one for ten or anything

1125
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 2: like that. But the Bucks, the Magic will be like,

1126
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: stay out there, man, stay out there, because we don't

1127
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: want you coming say, even though he actually shot poorly

1128
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 2: from the free throw line yesterday too, so Jannis, you know,

1129
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: he didn't have that polish on his game yesterday. But

1130
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 2: now that they're down, it's going to be interesting to

1131
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: see how they respond. Because you're right, you talk about

1132
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 2: He's going to be the back to back MVP out

1133
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 2: here now, so he needs to go out there and

1134
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 2: really put his fingerprints all over this game. On both ends.

1135
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: I know he needs help, of course he needs support,

1136
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: but at the same time, you also want to see

1137
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 2: your star player just go out there and just bulldoze

1138
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: his way to a victory and sort of get his

1139
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 2: team back on track. I think that's that's something that

1140
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: we need to see from Yannis in this second game.

1141
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, their improvement has to come defensively. There's no doubt.

1142
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: They can't give up one hundred and twenty two points

1143
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: and they've got to play better defense and they're going

1144
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: to go very, very far in this thing. So that

1145
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: suddenly becomes a must watch fun game too, no doubt.

1146
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: We thought this series, yeah, could be a kick walk,

1147
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: and now it's you at least a little more intriguing.

1148
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 2: All right.

1149
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: Our final game from yesterday, Jimmy Butler and the Dragon Drags.

1150
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: They helped the Heat pull away to beat the Piecers

1151
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: in game one once thirteen one on one. This was

1152
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: a fun one. Get as started here, Lee. It's just

1153
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: one game, but.

1154
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler is worth the braggage. The baggage that he

1155
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: brings because you know, we know he's a bit of

1156
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: a guy who's a bit abrasive at times with his teammates.

1157
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: But I think you saw yesterday what he brings out

1158
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 2: his best to that team. He leads the team, not statistically,

1159
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: he's not a huge numbers guy out there, but hits

1160
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: big shots, makes big plays for his team, and just

1161
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 2: sort of leads the way. And I thought TJ. Warren,

1162
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: who actually had an okay game, but when you go

1163
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: back to the beef that these two guys had, and

1164
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler said he ain't even in my lead, he

1165
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 2: was right on that. From what we saw yesterday, TJ.

1166
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 2: Warren was nowhere near the sort of competitive level that

1167
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler was on yesterday. I think Jimmy's the sort

1168
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: of guy he likes to get into his own head

1169
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: to hype himself up. You saw him wooing himself on

1170
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: a dunk down there.

1171
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: He was talking to the.

1172
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: That's a first not a great three point shooter. He's

1173
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: only about twenty four percent. Hit two big threes for

1174
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 2: his team, and he said, I think it was Bam

1175
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: was the one who says you got to shoot those threes,

1176
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: and he did, but he just kind of he uses

1177
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 2: that TJ. Warren motivation, I think, because there was a

1178
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 2: couple of little chippy moments between them, but I think

1179
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: Jimmy was more just using it to sort of keep

1180
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 2: himself in the game and keep himself focused. So I thought,

1181
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 2: I thought he was really really good, Bam. I thought

1182
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: was fantastic as well, yesaid and Rage you mentioned, but

1183
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: I think it starts with your best player, your franchise guy,

1184
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: and your leader, and that's Jimmy Butler just by sort

1185
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 2: of setting the competitive tone for the game. And I

1186
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 2: thought he was great yesterday.

1187
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jimmy asked for this. He wanted his own team.

1188
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: He got it, Toyota. I mean, he wanted the pressure,

1189
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: and he in Game one at least, Yeah, he when

1190
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: he checked back in, the Heat were like it was

1191
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: a close game. The Heat were up two points when

1192
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: he checked back in late in the fourth quarter, sort

1193
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: of you know, midway into the fourth quarter. And then

1194
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: they outscored the Pacers twenty four to fourteen, and it

1195
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: was Jimmy a lot of that scored ten of their

1196
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: final twelve points. He said the two threes, he was special.

1197
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 1: I love the mustache. I think I have it. I

1198
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: don't know where you have it in your bubble mustache rankings.

1199
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: You know there's Gordon Hayward's, Oh, Jimmy's. Yeah.

1200
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 4: I think it's horrendous.

1201
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: You know. I love it because I like him looking

1202
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: oddly evil as something to it, like warrior.

1203
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 4: I don't even know if it's evil. It just looks

1204
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 4: very on camp. Yeah, just like have you seen a

1205
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 4: mirror dude, Like just just like flatten it a little bit.

1206
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean it's like almost like it could commit a

1207
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 4: foul pretty easily, Like it's poking way out there.

1208
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, he again, he asked for this. He wanted

1209
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: to be the franchise guy. And I'll tell you what, man,

1210
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: the Sixers could use a guy like that right now

1211
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: instead of maybe given that to like Horford and stuff

1212
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 1: like that. Holy heard.

1213
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 3: How about Tobias Harris.

1214
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 5: I want a guy who doesn't do anything when it

1215
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 5: comes to the clutch. Signed Tobias Harris, You want a closer?

1216
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 5: Signed Jimmy Butler. Whoops, Philly Butler was incredible. I love

1217
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 5: this guy. He's made double digit threes in seven games

1218
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 5: this year, and then back to back in huge moments yesterday.

1219
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 5: Then he comes down, hits that tough banker and just

1220
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 5: put the team on his back. Drags Obviously he's huge, right,

1221
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 5: Like That's the other thing is that when Dragas has

1222
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 5: it going, Butler doesn't have to do quite as much

1223
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 5: because there's just another guy who's able to create out

1224
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 5: there and also hit from outside. You know, Duncan Robinson

1225
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 5: wasn't able to really get his game going. But when

1226
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 5: somebody else is shooting great from three from outside, it's

1227
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 5: okay if you're one of your shooters is cold. But uh,

1228
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 5: that was just awesome. It was great to see Butler

1229
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 5: show up. There aren't a lot of guys you're picking

1230
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 5: over Jimmy Butler to have the ball in you're in

1231
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 5: his hands at the end of the game. He's probably

1232
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 5: not in the top five, but I got him in

1233
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 5: the top ten, and I'm happy if it's Butler.

1234
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, watching drugs like go full blown FEBA drags down

1235
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: the stretch there where he was money before Jimmy really

1236
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: really took over. He was a setup man. I was like, damn,

1237
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: the Lakers could use a Dragic. This is exactly who

1238
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: they need, like a sort of a vet point guard

1239
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: that can actually score and shoot the ball. I mean,

1240
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: a lot of teams obviously could use that. But he

1241
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: was great. This is a it was a fun game.

1242
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean it was a close game. Task you said,

1243
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: I think it was Malcolm Brogden you had sort of

1244
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 1: pegged as your sort of key to watching this series,

1245
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: and he was great. I thought he was pretty pretty

1246
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: solid for the Pacers and keeping them in this at

1247
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: the least and giving them a chance.

1248
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: It's good.

1249
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,919
Speaker 4: There's a lot on his shoulders. Yeah, because especially Victor

1250
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 4: Oladipo went out of the game there too, so that

1251
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 4: kind of hurt them in the fourth quarter. He was

1252
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 4: gone for the majority of the games. Because if the

1253
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 4: Heat get their defense set, who's gonna score? And it's

1254
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 4: a serious concern their heat. Their defense is so good

1255
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 4: it looks like there's no room out there. You gotta

1256
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 4: you gotta be really talented basketball player to make things happen.

1257
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 4: I think it's like, you focus on one guy if

1258
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 4: you can take away one guy, and you know, they

1259
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 4: focused on Brogden a little bit. They focused on TJ. Warren,

1260
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 4: and Warren had a decent game. But that's why I

1261
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 4: thought this Pacers team could be a threat because if

1262
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 4: you focus on one guy like we're seeing they focused

1263
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 4: on Giannis in New Orlando Milwaukee game, nobody else could perform. Really,

1264
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 4: they focused on James Harden in the Rockets game, and

1265
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 4: then Eric Gordon came out and performed. But I thought

1266
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 4: was if the Heat were going to focus on, whether

1267
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 4: it be Victor Oladipo or TJ Warren, that you could

1268
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 4: see some some Brogden scoring or probably not a Miles

1269
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 4: Turner score. Yeah, I doubt it. I doubt that's gonna happen.

1270
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 4: But but you saw on the other side, there's just

1271
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 4: you saw on the other side. They tried to take

1272
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 4: away Jimmy Butler and then Gordon Dragic said, all right,

1273
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 4: I mean I got space, like I'm I've done this

1274
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 4: for a very long time. And so they Heat have

1275
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 4: more weapons, and they not just Jimmy Butler. They tried

1276
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 4: to take away Doncan Robinson, but they were just the

1277
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 4: Heat have more scores. I'm worried when the Heat get

1278
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 4: back on defense, who's gonna score on this Pacers And

1279
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 4: Malcolm Yeah, he did his thing. He tried, but you know,

1280
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 4: without Demontese Bonus, I don't know if they have enough.

1281
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all the DEEPO inadvertly poked in the eye.

1282
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: I guess he went to the hospital, right, And do

1283
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: you leave the bubble then to do that? I mean

1284
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 1: there's not a hospital there, is it? Or do they

1285
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: just mean he went to like a medic there. I

1286
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:17,720
Speaker 1: don't really understand.

1287
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm guessing this is just a minor sort of medical

1288
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 2: you know, it's hob in the bubble there.

1289
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's in the bubble.

1290
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, so he has he has not left the bubble,

1291
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound good. I guess they were saying

1292
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: like he was struggling to see and it was all

1293
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: blurry and stuff.

1294
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 4: To the same doctor that all the MMA fighters went

1295
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 4: to this weekend because there was a lot of eye pokes,

1296
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 4: a lot of eye guess on Saturday. But that one

1297
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 4: that ballooned real quick on Victor Oladipot.

1298
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, j Crowder finger to the eye will do that.

1299
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: All right. A little bit of news here before we

1300
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: wrap this up, Speaking of injuries, Gordon Hayward expected to

1301
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: miss four weeks with the Grade three right ankle sprain.

1302
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: Task anything to add to this, so you're worried at

1303
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: all about the Celtics here in their series the Sixers

1304
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: with no Hayward for sure.

1305
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 4: No, not with the Sixers myself. I don't think anybody's

1306
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 4: going to be worried with the with the depth that

1307
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 4: the Celtics have. And yeah, four weeks, that sounds like

1308
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 4: a freaking long time, so that would be two rounds

1309
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 4: and so that would potentially be a Raptor series. Yeah,

1310
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 4: but hey, maybe he's like Rajon Rondo, who we see

1311
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 4: on the Lakers practice floor right now, looking to comeback

1312
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 4: earlier than expected, and hopefully he does. So the Celtics

1313
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 4: are at full capacity against the Raptors because it looks

1314
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 4: like that's who it's going to be in the second round,

1315
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 4: and the Raptors are full throttle right now.

1316
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: All right. The other news here, I want to slip

1317
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: in Raptors Messi Ugerie. They countersued after video shows an officer,

1318
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: you remember this in the twenty nineteen NBA Finals initiating

1319
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: the shoving. This footage if you haven't seen it, it

1320
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: shows the officer Alan Strickland, let's name this guy who

1321
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: grabbed Ugerie by the suit jacket, shoved him, telling him

1322
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: to back the f up as Uzeri was attempting to

1323
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: show his team credential to his hands. He's pulling it out,

1324
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: trying to show this guy. He's trying to reach the

1325
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 1: floor to celebrate with the Raptors who had just won

1326
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: the title in Oakland. They exchanged words, Yujeri holds out

1327
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: his credential again, Strickland shoves Ujeri for a second time,

1328
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: and then Ujeri, you know, shoves back at this guy

1329
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 1: at Strickland. So if you're like, this was this Strickland guy,

1330
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 1: he was suing Massai Ugerie after this incident. We never

1331
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,479
Speaker 1: really talked about this at the time after the game

1332
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: because the starters had wrapped up. We were done. I mean,

1333
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: I guess we did one more podcasts and we were

1334
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: celebrating the Raptors championship win and saying goodbye to everyone

1335
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: has the starters. But like, yeah, this whole thing was insane,

1336
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: the whole I don't know, I don't want to put

1337
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: words in your mouth, but we always believe Massi Uzeri anyway,

1338
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: because the guy's class act and he's trying to get

1339
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: on the damn floor and he's got a credential in

1340
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: his hand. Let him through. This guy just power tripping

1341
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: like crazy. I don't know if there's anything to add here,

1342
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: but the only final thing I would say, a bunch

1343
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: of officers that gave false testimonies on this they used to

1344
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: be fired as well. These three guys are suit whatever

1345
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: the hell you can do to them, because this is ridiculous.

1346
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: There was like three or four guys said, oh yeah,

1347
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: so yu Jery just snap just pushing around the cop.

1348
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: He he doesn't. The video clearly shows he does not.

1349
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1350
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 2: What about firing and charging these guys well for knowing?

1351
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 2: But again, this is like there's such a race problem

1352
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: here in America that the white cop just sitting there

1353
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: instigated all of that. Massides trying to get past trying

1354
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 2: to get his creditial and the guy's just being a

1355
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 2: bully and then turning it around to sue message Eri

1356
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: for attacking him. That video was was almost more shocking

1357
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 2: than I expected it to be, that it was just

1358
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: like this guy trying to start a fight with Massage

1359
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 2: Eri and then trying to put the blame on him.

1360
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 2: It was just disgusting, and I mean, I hope we're

1361
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 2: going to see some sort of apology and retraction and

1362
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 2: you know, things like that. But I know I'm not

1363
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: holding my breath at all, but oh my god, just

1364
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 2: just awful, awful from the from the police officer.

1365
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: I had forgotten too in rewatching the video of this

1366
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: incident that like Lowry comes over eventually right until like

1367
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: the corner after like MESSI Jery sort of backed up

1368
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: or people are trying to separate him from this this cop,

1369
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: this strickling guy, and like Masia sort of like cuts

1370
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: through like the corner and like to celebrate with Lowry,

1371
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: and he's like you can see it. I mean, like

1372
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: there's getty images that you can see of like HEGERI

1373
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: is obviously shook at what just happened, what just went down,

1374
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: and he's trying to celebrate me, you know, the greatest

1375
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,479
Speaker 1: basketball moment of his life, winning a title and bringing

1376
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: a title to this team. It's crazy. That's Strickland suit

1377
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: from February. I remember this part. He was like he

1378
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: suffered injury to his body and his health and his

1379
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: strength and all this fucking bullsh blah blah blah bullsh

1380
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,959
Speaker 1: What a joke, What a joke. So good old Jerry

1381
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: and his team to counter suit this guy.

1382
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 5: Just honestly, what a fool. This man is to I mean,

1383
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 5: a you're wearing a camera. You're wearing a camera. He

1384
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 5: must have thought he turned it off before assaulting somebody,

1385
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 5: as often happens. But also, guess what, You're at the

1386
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 5: NBA Finals. There are cameras everywhere. I mean, I guess

1387
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 5: the only shock is that it took this long to

1388
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 5: come out, but uh, not a surprise that this guy

1389
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 5: wasn't telling the truth.

1390
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like it's almost like you can't believe what

1391
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 4: police officers say. It's almost like a yeah, it kind

1392
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 4: of happens.

1393
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 3: A lot happens. Looks like we lost skeets.

1394
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 2: He's frozen in time. Okay, Well, I guess I'll just

1395
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 2: jump in because it's a tweet of the night time

1396
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 2: and I've got a little bit of trivia to add

1397
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 2: to this tweet. Okay, so it's pretty easy trivia. I

1398
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: think I think you guys will get it. It is

1399
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 2: comes from coach Karl George Carl, who tweeted this last

1400
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 2: night after the Lakers lost. Lakers should feel worried at

1401
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 2: this point. Trust me, I know about losing to a

1402
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: number eight seed, which, of course, George Carl did lose

1403
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: back in nineteen ninety four to the they were the

1404
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: number one seeded Seattle SuperSonics. They went down, they lost

1405
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: in five games. There's only best a five series end

1406
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 2: to the Denver Nuggets after they won the first two

1407
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: games and then lost Game five in overtime. And if

1408
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 2: you remember, the most like image from that series is,

1409
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 2: of course de Kembe Matumbo clutching the ball after the

1410
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 2: after the game was complete. So here's the trivia part

1411
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 2: of it. Can you guys name the other number eight

1412
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 2: seeds to upset the number one in the first round

1413
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 2: of the players including best of seven and best of.

1414
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 5: Five sixers over balls twenty twelve, Yeah, that was the

1415
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 5: Derek Rose one.

1416
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: Yep.

1417
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 4: So who did the next beat in ninety eight?

1418
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, ninety nine nine season? Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, yeah,

1419
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 2: they had a cut. They battled three years in a row.

1420
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 2: These teams the Heat, Yes, the Heat. You've got Warriors,

1421
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 2: of course, the league Warriors.

1422
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 3: Bricks.

1423
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 4: Grizzlies beat the Spurs.

1424
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 2: That's the one. That's the one that people, I think

1425
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 2: kind of forget. In twenty eleven. Twenty eleven, yeah, the

1426
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: Grizzlies who kind of tanked at the end of the

1427
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 2: season to get the Spurs and then yeah, and then

1428
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 2: went on to beat them, which was one of the

1429
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: most remarkable things when you think of the quality on

1430
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 2: that Spurs team and the Grizzlies will take you, guys

1431
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 2: on and then they went on to beat them. So yeah,

1432
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 2: well done guys.

1433
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 5: All right, Lee, how about the which of the eighth

1434
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 5: seeds that are up right now, which do you think

1435
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 5: is more likely to actually pull off an upset in

1436
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 5: the whole series.

1437
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough to see Lebron losing in the

1438
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 2: first round. It's never happened before. So I guess I'm

1439
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: gonna have to say the Magic just because you know,

1440
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 2: the Bucks are just not as proven as Lebron is.

1441
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 2: We've seen Lebron in the playoffs do this before where

1442
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 2: he loses, you know. Of course, being a Bulls fan

1443
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 2: there Tray against the Heat. They lost in the conference

1444
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 2: finals I think in twenty what was that twenty eleven, Yeah,

1445
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 2: and then it was a gentleman's sweep from there. So

1446
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 2: I as much as I love Dame and I'd love

1447
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: to see Dame pull the upset, I think it's more

1448
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 2: likely that it would be the Magic.

1449
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And we got a question a little bit Earlier

1450
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 4: on in the chat, Mario Perez asked, this being the bubble,

1451
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 4: is it more likely that we get an eight seed

1452
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 4: to upset a one seed. Is the is the chasm

1453
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 4: between these two teams bigger or smaller? And it's definitely smaller.

1454
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 4: It's definitely, you know, it's an equalizer for sure. Not

1455
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 4: having home court advantage. I think you it's a problem

1456
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 4: for even just I think just the routine of it all.

1457
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 4: I think Lebron's a routine man, especially being on this

1458
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 4: planet a lot longer than the other dudes. I think

1459
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 4: just being the old guy. I think that's part of it.

1460
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 4: And you see it like even when you get like

1461
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 4: the Damian Lillard five point shot, it hits, it hits

1462
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 4: harder because you don't have that home court to bring

1463
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 4: you back, and it goes the same way. If he

1464
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 4: was at home, that would be more of a deathnel

1465
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 4: than than it is playing on this neutral site court.

1466
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 4: So it's it's a factor. It's definitely an equalizer. You've

1467
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 4: got to be playing great ball all the time. You

1468
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 4: can't just you can't just hope like, hey, we're staying

1469
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 4: at the three point line and things aren't going our way.

1470
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 4: But I'm going to bully our way through it. Like

1471
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 4: everybody feels like they can ball. And that's sort of

1472
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 4: going back to like what the role players are feeling

1473
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 4: like to like they don't have the road road crowd

1474
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 4: to take them out of their games.

1475
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happening. I mean, seeing the Raptors win the

1476
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 2: game one at time task proves that things are weird.

1477
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 4: That's that's that's dead. That trope is dead. Last year, yeah,

1478
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 4: they lost to the Magic. Then in round two they

1479
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 4: beat the Sixers. Round three they lost to the Bucks

1480
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 4: game one, and then round four they beat the Warriors

1481
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 4: two of four.

1482
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. But the problem is the Raptors try

1483
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 2: out every series apart from the finals though, so they

1484
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 2: get you know, they're going to give it back at

1485
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 2: some point here against the Nets. Actually that's a first

1486
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 2: game up today, Nets and Nets and Raptors.

1487
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, we changed it up today. We changed it

1488
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 4: up to yeah, and I'll get to the game of

1489
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 4: the day here one thirty start. They they dropped that

1490
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:55,439
Speaker 4: baby to NBA TV today, the Nets and the Raptors.

1491
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 4: George Carl was very angry talking about George Carl tweets.

1492
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 4: He said the Jazz and Nuggets are an exciting team.

1493
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 4: Stop putting them in the early slot. George Carl's gonna

1494
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 4: be happy today. He's probably in the Seattle area, so

1495
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 4: you can watch his Jazz and Nuggets at a decent

1496
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 4: time one o'clock. But I don't know what you guys

1497
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 4: are looking forward to. I mentioned those two games Sixers

1498
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 4: and the Celtics also play, and then the MAVs and

1499
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 4: the Clippers as part of a triple header. I'm looking

1500
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 4: for Joel Embiid. I know it's a sort of the

1501
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 4: trope we've been talking about, but it feels like a

1502
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 4: must win for them to come back and beat the Celtics.

1503
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 4: And will Joel Embiid be able to bounce back? And

1504
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 4: talking about the Raptors last year, he didn't have a

1505
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 4: great Game two, but he's also sick in that series

1506
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 4: and they won that game. Though they won that game too,

1507
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 4: and he did have a great two Game two in

1508
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 4: the first series against the Brooklyn Nets. But I just

1509
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 4: I see a Brad Stevens team being able to adjust

1510
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 4: and take him out of his game, even more so

1511
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 4: than what he did in Game one, because he had

1512
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 4: his way in the first quarter, and I don't know

1513
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 4: if he's going to have that. So I'm looking forward

1514
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 4: to seeing what Joel Embiid's got because, man, like we're

1515
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 4: talking about Tobias Haris, we talked about all those supporting

1516
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 4: cast players. I don't know if you're getting another eighteen

1517
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 4: from Alec Burks. I don't know if you're getting that

1518
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 4: type of game from Josh Richardson again. And so what

1519
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 4: is Embiid got. He's got to carry this team. There

1520
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 4: is a lot on his shoulders without Ben Simmons in there.

1521
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 4: It's worrisome, man, it is very worrisome if I'm a

1522
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 4: Sixers fan. It seemed like he was doing that for

1523
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 4: a lot of the game and he was tired in

1524
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 4: Game one. What if they start doubling him more to

1525
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 4: step up?

1526
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody called Bill Walton, I need a twelve inch

1527
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 5: from Joel Embiid because you're right, Test, this is the

1528
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 5: way that the Sixers are gonna be able to win.

1529
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 5: And maybe, you know, maybe there's a little bit of

1530
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 5: momentum Philadelphia can have with Gordon Hayward going out of

1531
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 5: the lineup. Maybe the Sixers can feel like, hey, we're

1532
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 5: not the team that's totally injured.

1533
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 3: Right now despite the fact that yes, indeed they are.

1534
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 5: But yeah, Embiid's got to be massive, he's got to

1535
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 5: have a forty. He's got to be rolling to the

1536
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 5: basket rather than popping and pumping. So let's see if

1537
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 5: he's able to do it for an entire game. Always

1538
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 5: a huge question.

1539
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 2: Stop popping and pumping, Joelle, get inside, play bullyball there.

1540
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, I mean, that's the one advantage

1541
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 2: the Sixers have there is that Tys can't stop him.

1542
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 2: So he just has to go shack. And if he

1543
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 2: has to go for fifty points by just going into

1544
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 2: the paint all day, that's what he should do. I mean,

1545
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 2: that's where he just has to He just has to

1546
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 2: use his physical advantage that he has. But they're going

1547
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 2: to miss Hayward, I think badly Boston. I mean, I

1548
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 2: know they're a very deep team in their world coach,

1549
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 2: but I think Hayward is just the is the equalizer

1550
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 2: for them. You know, he's very good defensively, he's very

1551
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 2: good offensively, but he doesn't need the ball in his

1552
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 2: hands all the time. He sort of picks his spots.

1553
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 2: So who's going to fill that void is going to

1554
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 2: be a question. But I still think the Celtics have

1555
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 2: too much depth. But I think I think the series go.

1556
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 2: I think I had the Celtics in the sweep. I

1557
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 2: think the Sixers get at least one now out of

1558
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: this series.

1559
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 4: All right, we will be back tomorrow wrapping up all

1560
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,000

1572
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 4: first bloody nose courtesy of Lebron James, the fourth quarters

1573
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 4: are now Whenyon time, not winning time. Not a great part,

1574
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,599
