1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Smells like another cracker of a day.

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: The sun is still high in the sky.

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,079

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: going to talk about the all NBA teams that were

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: announced last night, give our takeaways, maybe talk some snub

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: and we've got a very funny tweet of the night.

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: But we start with Game one of the Western Conference Finals.

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: What a game and entertaining game. Luca and Kyrie combining

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: for sixty three points as the MAVs beat the Wolves

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 3: one o eight, one oh five. The Donk with fifteen

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: points in that fourth quarter as the MAVs got the

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: win despite shooting twenty four percent from three, but they

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: pull it out in again a very close game that

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: like never had a huge lead there in the second half,

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: which was really cool. It was always within basically two

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: or three possessions. It felt like, but what do you think.

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Well, MAVs stealing game one on the road. Your dreams

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: might be coming true. Luca versus the Celtics, that's your dream? No,

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I said, aunt and now you said Lucas pretty good.

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: No, but when you asked me, you answered the damn question.

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Who's your finals matchup? I said, wolve Celtics.

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Oh, you must have had some nightmares last night? What

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: have I?

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Ben and I got night Survivor reference Nobots later today.

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: I can't, I mean we can't. You can't go wrong

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: is what we ultimately got at. It's gonna be fun.

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: We have a young superstar winning this first championship.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, people coming out of this, all the

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: commentary is, well, Anthony Edwards guarding Kyrie, he couldn't guard him.

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: He couldn't guard him. That's why Kyrie was able to

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: get hot. But it's kind of untrue because yeah, Kyrie

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: was great obviously in the first half scorchron twenty four

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: in the first half. Ye I went through and watched

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: every single bucket and whether or not Anthony got torch listen,

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: he did get hurt beat several times. Kyrie scored twelve baskets,

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: six were against Anthony Edwards, but he got ice cold

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. I think one part that is

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: definitely true is that the Minnesota Timberwolves came into this

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: game and they said, the MAVs have beaten everybody from

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: the corners in the first couple rounds. That's why they

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: call PJ. Washington Captain Corner. They just kept on shooting

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: those corner threes. They hit twelve or they shot twelve

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: per game through the first two rounds. They only took

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: four in this one. As you said, it is weird

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: because the Dallas Mavericks were able to hit twelve fewer

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: threes in this game than Minnesota Temples and they still lose.

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: One thing is definitely true is coming down to the wire.

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: I think because we all talk about Anthony Edwards guarding

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: and all that, is that the Timberwolves were up, and

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: we forget that they're up with three minutes left, They're

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: up four points, and after Derek Lively gets an offensive

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: rebound the garbage man who always does that and is

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: able to throw out to Ugudanchis for a three. It's

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: a one point game. In a minute later, after no

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: scoring happens, the Minnesota Timbles get a turnover. They're just

67
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: they're up one point and Anthony Edwards kind of stays

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: in the back court for an offensive play. He is gas.

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: That part is definitely true, and that he just said, hey,

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Jada McDaniels, you go do it. Be pointed and he

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of walked past a mid court but that's all

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: he did for an offensive play, and that's when Dallas

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: turned it around. They're up to after a bucket and

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: then we get the Karl Anthony Towns goaltending. But it

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: was just damn close, and we all just talk about that,

76
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: the fact that Anthony Edwards, yes, he was beat at times,

77
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get some change. Is there to the

78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: three point shooting because they basically were guarding two guards,

79
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: there are two players in the middle, and just stayed

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: home on the corner three pointers. So that will change.

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: That'll have to change, and Anthonato has to have more

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: more gas coming down the stretch because you only shut

83
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: three pointers down the stretch. Yeah, that's all he did

84
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That's the only thing he did

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: did the whole gave mostly.

86
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: Two shots at the rim. That's disappointing. This was a

87
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: disappointing game for Edwards, big time. He got lit up

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: on defense. I know not every basket was on Edwards,

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: but what you say six for Kyrie. Luca was taken

90
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: into the post as well. Anytime he ended up on

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: Luca was an easy basket for him. McDaniel's got a

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: whole bunch of baskets on his head as well as

93
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: anticipated Nikhil Alexander Walker. He tried, he got baskets on

94
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: his head. This was great shot making from Kyrie and

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: from Luca, and the big thing to be watching this

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: this is a different series. This is completely different for

97
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: the timber Wolves playing the Mavericks than it is against

98
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: the Nuggets. On both ends of the ball, the same

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: things that beat the Nuggets probably aren't gonna work against

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. Play and drop against Luca and Kyrie you

101
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: just gotta lose. Getting a bunch of they range jumpers

102
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: in your face. They got two creators on the perimeter,

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: which is way different than you saw against the Nuggets.

104
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: Then defensively, a lot more rim protection for Dallas than

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: Denver had. They love to pack the paint, They love

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: to make the drivers see bodies. They turned shake Gil

107
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: just Alexander into an ISO player. They turned Edwards into

108
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: an ISO player. He said postgame, it's game one. We

109
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: didn't know what they were gonna do. I would come

110
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: around to pick, they were in drop, the shot was there,

111
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: I took it. Took twelve threes. He's taken thirteen twice

112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: this season. Otherwise, that's the most he's taken. Forty nine

113
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: three point attempts for the Timberwolves. That's the most they've

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: taken all season. This is not a three point shooting team.

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: This is a team that drives. This is a team

116
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: that likes to get downhill, and they didn't last night

117
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: because they were caught off guard a little bit, probably

118
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: an emotional come down after a Game seven against a

119
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: team that you've been gearing up for a year to beat.

120
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: Then you got to change gears against the team that

121
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: is playing outside in rather than inside out. It was

122
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: way different, and it felt.

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: Like that they flipped their rules too the math superstars here.

124
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: Usually through these playoffs it's been Luke is sort of

125
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: doing the heavy lifting early and Kyrie takes over in

126
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: the second half. But they switched it up last night. Yeah,

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: Kyrie set the tone, no doubt. This guy had been

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: averaging six points in the first halves of these playoffs

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 3: and he goes for twenty four. And he was just

130
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: getting to work early. I mean, he was scoring everything

131
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: inside everything at the rim. I think it's because you

132
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: brought up the fair that you once went to in Minneapolis. Ye,

133
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: but I was thinking, I want to see Kyrie irving

134
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: at the fair play that game where you're supposed to

135
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: put like the softball in like the wicker basket and

136
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 3: it takes that really nice touch you want to put

137
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: a little backspin on it. He would dominate that. He

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: would win every single toy they have hanging up in there,

139
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: because that guy just his ability to finish with both

140
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: hands high, whatever, sneak it in. He just has the

141
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: most incredible touch. And ten of his eleven made baskets

142
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: in the first half, we're basically in the paint. He

143
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: had that one jumper there when they inbounded it and

144
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: think he caught Nikole Alexander Walker by surprise, otherwise just

145
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: living at the pain. And then yeah, Luca took over.

146
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: I mean, this was a close game. You said it,

147
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: it was e were down and you know, Luca started

148
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: those two runs in the fourth quarter where he went

149
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: on like his own little personal run, either scoring or

150
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: setting up guys just like pretty You know, they're gonna

151
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: be a tough team to beat when you have two

152
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: guys that just have that ability to score, and you're

153
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: gonna have to probably switch up your defense, right.

154
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no more the just the pick and roll up

155
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: top where just two guys guarded some help to get

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: the ball out of one of their hands. But I

157
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: guess they were just relying on the fact they just

158
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: went with the numbers and said we're not taking we're

159
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: not allowing corner threes. It obviously came down to the wire.

160
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyrie, yes, he's the fourth quarter guy, but

161
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: last round he just wasn't a huge offensive player. He

162
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: averaged fifteen point seven points in the whole series. Yeah,

163
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: and he scored twenty four and in the first half

164
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: in this one, so he yeah, destroyed that in the

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: first half. Well, Luca, you turned it on in the

166
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That was fun to watch.

167
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: That was impressive from Dantchi had won a seven oh

168
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: run by himself. In the midst of the eleven oh run.

169
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: You get almost call it nine zero because there was

170
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: that one. He missed the layup and it seemed like

171
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: Hido Turkulu going to Dwight Howard missing it off the

172
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: glass for an easy dunk for Derek Lively, who was

173
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: awesome in this game. But Luca was torching McDaniels so

174
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: much in this game, just getting his shoulder into him

175
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: and then shooting a jumper over the top. Eventually, the

176
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: Timberwolves did start blitzing don Chic. They got some good

177
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: shots about out it. But the most important possession to

178
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: me was after Luke had been getting blitzed all through

179
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, about fifty seconds left, he says, no,

180
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to screak, just give me McDaniels took

181
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: him down into the lane bump jump just like that.

182
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: That was really the dagger, though there was a little

183
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: bit of stuff going on after that. It gave him

184
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: a four point lead, but you know, yeah, the tip

185
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: in by Minnesota, the long inbounds from PJ. Washington, some silly,

186
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: silly stuff. But yeah, this was impressive by the Mavericks

187
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: because teams that shoot that make fewer three pointers have

188
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: been losing for the most part in this playoffs. Teams

189
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: that have been attempting three pointers have been losing for

190
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: the most part in this playoffs. So to only get

191
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: up twenty five shots and still score what one hundred

192
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 2: and eight, that's pretty impressive against the best defense in

193
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

194
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're here to change the game, man, They're just

195
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna hit twos because that's.

196
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: The they're gonna craze eventually, is the problem.

197
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I Luca will say to you he

198
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: didn't have a good game because Jane McDaniel started on

199
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: him pretty well and he shot only twelve to twenty six.

200
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: But he ended it obviously scorching hot and playing defense.

201
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: That incredible steal where he's able to just skid back

202
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: and take away a lob was big time. Yeah, he's

203
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: just able to close it out with fifteen and that fourth.

204
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lucas thirty three points, six boards, eight assists, three steals,

205
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: and that one that you're talking about there was huge.

206
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: Was like a minute five or minute six left in

207
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: the game. Maps were up to Conley, you know, probably

208
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: should have just taken the floater. Obviously, Luca just sees

209
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: like I'm just dropping back, I know, go bears behind me,

210
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: and he broke it up and that was one of

211
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: the steels that he got credited for. But yeah, good

212
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: call on the stop bringing the double, stop bringing more

213
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: guys in the action. I'll just take them. And he's

214
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: a different McDaniel's is an incredible defender, tries his ass off,

215
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 3: obviously has length, but he's a different defender than lou Dort,

216
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: who's built like a damn linebacker, who also you know,

217
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 3: is a little maybe more crafty like ludr. Look, it

218
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: was willing to take a bump and then maybe sell

219
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: it drop, you know, and that was frustrating Luca, where

220
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: McDaniel's again different, and Luca's like, I got this and

221
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: just stepped into that. Also, that's three that he got

222
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: off of the lively rebound. That was a huge, big

223
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: time three from Luca, where you know, they were joking

224
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: about it on the broadcast. He probably should have just

225
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 3: shot it right away, but stan Van's right, he likes

226
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: to shoot off of a dribble, so he like sort

227
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: of reset himself, even though the defense closed out at

228
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: him and off the bounce or off the dribble, excuse me,

229
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: he knocked down that one. They hit timely threes. They

230
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: didn't hit a lot of them, but they had the PJ.

231
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: Washington one in the corner and they had the Luca one,

232
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: and those were both coming late.

233
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: Fifty percent in the fourth quarter three for six. If

234
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: you're gonna make him, you want to make him at

235
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: the end of the game. And then on the flip side,

236
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: Minnesota only turned the ball over ten times. Five of

237
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: those came in the fourth quarter. Chris Finch that afterwards

238
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: we had no composure. He's right. They didn't score for

239
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: like three of the last four minutes of this game.

240
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: It's tough to win like that. I think Mike Conley

241
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: a regretful game for him. He was not bringing the

242
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: veteranship you expect in the fourth quarter. I thought even

243
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: the gamble on the super long PJ. Washington inbounds kind

244
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: of hurt the timber Wolves because it took him out

245
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: of position on the foul. Could have saved some time there.

246
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: And then of course he missed the wrong free throw. Yeah,

247
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: missed the second one h three yep, whoops.

248
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was weird for Anthony Edwards to throw

249
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: the ball into the stands twice. He threw the ball

250
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: on a pass where he literally went to like the

251
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: four throw, Like, that's impressive that you in the stands there.

252
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: You got to make a good catch. I mean, it

253
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: felt like a baseball game where you gotta be ready

254
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: for a ball. That doesn't happen too often, but it

255
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: happened twice to Anthony Edwards throw it into the into

256
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: the stands and just a bad close. Yeah. He didn't

257
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: shoot for the last few minutes of this game because

258
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: he was gassed. He really was tired, obviously.

259
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: What did you think about towns thinking he tied the game.

260
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: A lot of people the arena thinking he had tied

261
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: the game on that huge put back jam, but it

262
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: was waved off basket interference. They went and looked at it.

263
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: It was a pretty quick review and they said no

264
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: call stands or taking it off the board. You know,

265
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: you saw the angles, you saw the camera from above.

266
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: At times it looked like it was well off the rim,

267
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 3: and then as it got closer, maybe it was above

268
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: the rim. Your reaction to the call there on the

269
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: floor of the review and even just this in general.

270
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: Are you a fan of the basket interference? Do you

271
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: wish they got rid of it like Foba? What's your take?

272
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the offensive goaltending not fun to see. It is

273
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: good that they looked at it in Scacas, in the

274
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: main headquarters there, because that's how they turned it over

275
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: so quickly. They got the call from there and they said, no,

276
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: thank you, turned it around. There's got to be some

277
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: sort of technology to know if it is contacting the cylinder.

278
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean they do it in soccer, they do it

279
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: in tennis. Where a ball is supposed to hit the line,

280
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: there has to be away because was it in the cylinder? Yes,

281
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: I do think so. If the ball goes straight up

282
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: over the rim and then it's there for like five seconds,

283
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: then it's still within the rim. It was on the

284
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: outside of it. I mean it was barely in it.

285
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: So it wasn't fun.

286
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 3: No, No, I mean I absolutely hate this rule. I

287
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: think it's the stupidest rule. We are literally, uh, penalizing

288
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: a guy that's going up and jumping above ten feet

289
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: above the rim. It's well above the room, wasn't even

290
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: touching the rim. That's a whole other debate, but like, yeah,

291
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: like get rid of this. It's insane. We took away

292
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: a highlight and you know, huge play from cat. It's

293
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: also it's tough to call. I don't even it's the

294
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: next one possible for the officials to call. So they

295
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: just always call it a basket interference so they can

296
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: at least go look at it, because hell the hell

297
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: are you gonna call that from twenty feet away on

298
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: the side, I don't know a right cylinder. They got

299
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: it right, they got it right, But they got it right.

300
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I hate this rule. Same rule.

301
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: And the ball was going to hit the rim again.

302
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: If it came out way down, it was going to

303
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: hit the rim again. Yeah, they got the ball back immediately.

304
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: Derek Glavely traveled on the next possession. Make up call easy.

305
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: You don't think he traveled. I mean he maybe did,

306
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: but if it was even close, they were going to

307
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: turn it over and get back to the Timberwolves.

308
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: We also got a great Karl Anthony Town's reaction at

309
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: least yes, so again was pumped. He thought he just

310
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: put down a huge put back slam and he's like, wow,

311
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: we're tied at one oh four, he's running back and

312
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: then well, oh no.

313
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: That was so similar to the dagger against Denver in

314
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: Game seven, he had a big time tip dunk. He

315
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: also had a huge one earlier in this game that

316
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: came way off the rim, not even close to a goaltend. Yeah,

317
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean, the Phoebe rules are cooler because you get

318
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: more highlights. But that's the rule. They called it right,

319
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: They reviewed it and still it was right.

320
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: Derek Lively, you brought him up. He was a game

321
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: high plus nineteen in twenty seven minutes played. He became

322
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: the first rookie in the NBA's play by play era

323
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: to record a plus minus of fifteen points or higher

324
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: in three consecutive playoff games. We've been talking about him.

325
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: I think more and more people are talking about him.

326
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: This guy at twenty years old, just continues to make

327
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: incredible plays outside of the travel which you know, Yeah,

328
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: he was shuffling the feet a little bit there, and

329
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: it's late and the butt holes were tight. He was

330
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: great once again, both him and Gafford, you know, combining

331
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: for twenty boards, grabbing offensive rebounds, doing their work. They're

332
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: shooting always around the rim. They were nine to thirteen combined.

333
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: But I just like, this guy is playing incredible for

334
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: a twenty year old rookie man, like you can trust

335
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: him with the ball in the middle for the most

336
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: part obviously, is just a menace on the glass. I

337
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: love how many like. I don't even know if he

338
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: gets credited for some of these offensive rebounds, but he's

339
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: like they only happen because he's like, you know, sort

340
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: of get like just fighting and getting maybe a fingernail

341
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: on it, and then it goes somewhere else and it

342
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: bounces off somebody else. Like the effort from him pretty impressive.

343
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have any thoughts on Derek

344
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: Lively a second living up to his name, perfectly named guy.

345
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: He's very Lively.

346
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was awesome off the bench, and that's what

347
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: the mass keep on doing, even though he's been playing

348
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: better than Gafford, but he is. He's just so key.

349
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: The way he came up with two big offensive boards

350
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter was monstros He has been great

351
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: plus nineteen. This is why they tanked last season to

352
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: get this guy and to be able to put him

353
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: in fourth quarters. In fourth quarters he's playing and they

354
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: don't win the second round against the Okay see, without him,

355
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: he was just huge. He every single possession we talk about,

356
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: like every single one of those possessions where he is

357
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: going in and fighting in fourth quarter situations. He is

358
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of their garbage man, like he's not going to

359
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: get anything but lobs and offensive boards. But he's freaking

360
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: a great garbage man. Is one of the best out there.

361
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: He's just really really good, and he's got so much poise.

362
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Put him to the free throw line, he's gonna bang

363
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: him home. He's got it all.

364
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: He did travel on that one play, but three assists otherwise, Like,

365
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a garbage man, but you can at

366
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: least trust them to throw them the ball in the

367
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: short role. And that's going to be important for the

368
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: Mavericks because surely the Timberwolves are gonna double either Luca

369
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: or Kyrie. Like they kind of said last night. I

370
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: was kind of like, all right, Luca and Kyrie, you

371
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: beat us. They did, you know, That's kind of what happened.

372
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: They took away the role players for the most part.

373
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: But Lively is so impressive man to come in in

374
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: these fourth quarters to close every single one of them.

375
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: I will say him guarding Rudy Gobert. He's basically just

376
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: playing zone in the middle. He just hangs out in

377
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: the middle, and that makes it tough for Edwards to

378
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: get inside. That obviously makes it tough for Towns to

379
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: get inside as well. He's kind of playing his zone,

380
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: just hanging in the middle, taking up space, and it's working.

381
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: And that's why the mav won the points in the

382
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: paint battle fifth sixty two to thirty eight. Like the

383
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: Timberwolves couldn't get anything going inside against Gafford as well.

384
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ant and Kat combined for thirty five points on

385
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: thirty six shots. And you already talked about how so

386
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: few of Ants were like inside. How many times did

387
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: he go to the free throw line? Maybe twice if

388
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: I remember correctly, like two free throws. So they need

389
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 3: to generate more at the basket. But like the defense is,

390
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: it is sort of like a zone. You're right, it's

391
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: this man zone they're playing. They're just big clog of

392
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: daggas right now. They're just like clogging it up and saying, hey,

393
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: we're gonna live with you know, uh, mister Anderson hitting

394
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: jumpers and Kyle Anderson was scoring early. We're gonna live

395
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: with McDaniels obviously shooting, and he was on fire. He

396
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: had five in the first half, finished with six. We'll

397
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: just we're gonna do the opposite. We're gonna take away

398
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 3: the star guys as muchs possible, like load up on

399
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 3: specially Aunt, and we'll let these other guys see if

400
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 3: they can beat us. And they they played well, I

401
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 3: mean they did those guys. They scored a lot. They

402
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: played better than their superstars did in terms of shooting

403
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: the ball. But it'll be interesting to see how now

404
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: Minnesota guards them and where they try and take away

405
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: or focus on slowing down from the duo of Dallas.

406
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I do think there's just such tiny things

407
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: that Minnesota does and they end up winning this game.

408
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: You said free throws there that Anthony Edwards wasn't shooting them.

409
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: They missed seven, they've shot eleven eleven of eighteen, just

410
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: hit a couple free throws and they win this game. Frankly,

411
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. There's just lots of

412
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: little tiny things. They looked obviously a little bit more tired,

413
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: even though they had a couple of days off. Obviously

414
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: Dallas had one more day off than them, so I

415
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: guess that was the part. But it was a close game,

416
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: even though we're focusing on certain stuff. Yeah, the Timberwolve

417
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: should just feel better going into Game two.

418
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: You think so they think this is all You think

419
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: this is one one when we go back to Dallas

420
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: or are you a little terrified or if you're a

421
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: Wolves fan that Yeah, maybe we get more from our superstars.

422
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: But geez, they did really shoot poorly, Dallas did from

423
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: three and they still pulled this out. Yeah.

424
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: I didn't really think that the Mavericks played great. I

425
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: thought Luca was awesome in the fourth quarter. I thought

426
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Kyrie was spectacular in the first half, and then Lively

427
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: was holding it down inside. But I think the Mavericks

428
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: can definitely play better. But I also think the timber

429
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: Wolves will bounce back. You know, they showed great resiliency.

430
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: Being down three to two against Denver seemed like the

431
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: series was over. It was not down twenty in the

432
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: third quarter. The series was not over. Edwards just has

433
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: to go to the hoop when he turns the corner,

434
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: get downhill, make Derek Lively defend you. With you going, Adam,

435
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: You're probably gonna draw some fouls. Get those guys in

436
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: foul trouble. Bat helps the Timberwolves cause shoot some more

437
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: free throws and it just has to be a lot

438
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 2: more aggressive. The guy can't take twelve threes unless he's

439
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: taking twenty five shots.

440
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Wolves are no longer undefeated in the postseason

441
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: when wearing those white throwbacks. That's their first ellen those.

442
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: They're gonna wear them in Game two and for the

443
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: first time in six tries under Jason Kid, the Mavericks

444
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: won Game one of a playoff series and Luca only

445
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: got his second one ever. He was quite batting game

446
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: ones as well. I think he was one in six

447
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 3: all time, though we didn't miss one in one series.

448
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: He didn't play in the game that they did lose.

449
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, they picked up a surprising I guess game

450
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 3: one win for them for him and Jason Kidd. They

451
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: don'tusually get this one.

452
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: It's been years. Yeah, three of them.

453
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what else you got from this game? What do

454
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: you think of Kyrie's brown shoes with the tassels?

455
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: You'd ever want to see a guard show up in

456
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: brown shoes? You really don't, uh, Jamal Murray? Now, Kyrie,

457
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: you put on a pair of boots, You better play. Well,

458
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna get fined though, for wearing different socks. I'll

459
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: say that, Okay, I didn't wear Nike socks.

460
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: Now, I guess you're supposed to Writeyeah, those issues.

461
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: Gett in trouble for that. But these are hilarious. The

462
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: man's wearing a fringed leather jacket like you and Curry

463
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: out here Moccason ones.

464
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: People were calling them.

465
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to Kareem Abdul Jabbar sitting in the

466
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: stands in about two thousand and nine wearing the craziest

467
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: leather jacket you've ever seen. Kyrie put him on his feet,

468
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: thistle sort.

469
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: Of fitting that. They defeated a team called the Wolves,

470
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: and they went hunting in these and got them. So yeah,

471
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 3: he he was just dominant there slow down as the

472
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 3: game went on. In fact, he even missed a He

473
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: missed the one that Lively got the rebound on very

474
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: late that set up that three pointer from Luca. Kyrie

475
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: got to the rim just like he had been in

476
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 3: the first half, and he just watched it. He just

477
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: straight up missed it. But what else you.

478
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: Got a left handed floater that's Kyrie shot that he

479
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: hit that hook shot from eighteen feet this one, he

480
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: could have sealed it from within.

481
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: All that on that one too. Yeah, I wasn't even

482
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: talking about that when you're right.

483
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: He missed that one, right, yeah, twenty seconds left. Yeah,

484
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: that should have been his shot. But he was over

485
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Surprisingly, And this one, I was

486
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: surprised that he did an interview after the first quarter.

487
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: Yes, on live TV.

488
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a great first quarter, so that's

489
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: probably where you want to get on. Yeah, but TNT

490
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: gets him after the first quarter and Rudy after the

491
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: third quarter. Defensive Player of the Year two pretty good,

492
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: gets great guts. Maybe they're trying to get back the

493
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: NBA deal and say, look at us, look at us.

494
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: Look yet I honestly I like these player interviews more

495
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 3: than the coaches.

496
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, they're a little bit better.

497
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: I don't think you're taking a ton away, but they're

498
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: just yeah, they're a little more entertaining.

499
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. It's like, would you rather have an owner

500
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: get the NBA trophy or a player?

501
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

502
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: And it's like, to me, obviously, the more enigmatic guy is,

503
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, the younger guy, not the eighty year old yea, right,

504
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: And and the coach for sure. The coach is busy

505
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: too as well. Yeah, you know, he's got he's got

506
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: things to do. So yeah, that was I was surprised.

507
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean that that's getting better and better as we

508
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: as we get into the playoffs. No more coaches, just

509
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: the best players.

510
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: Oh.

511
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: Do you think they maybe sort of plan this a

512
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: little bit in their production meetings, Like in the first

513
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: couple of rounds, you're like, hey, don't ask for the

514
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: big dogs early, save them for the conference finals. Potentially interesting.

515
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it was like Josh hart Tier.

516
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: At least it's like JJ Redick and Doris Burke and

517
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: Mike Breen. I think they're getting better as the playoffs

518
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: go on as well.

519
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: Get those reps together. Anything else, either random notes or

520
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: observations from this game.

521
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: A lot of Jerseys in the crowd for Minnesota, you know,

522
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: their first conference finals in twenty years. I saw Karl

523
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns showed up to his press conference wearing a

524
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: stuff on Marbury Jersey. Saw a lot of those. The

525
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: one that caught me most by surprise there was somebody

526
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: sitting in the second row, I do believe, in the

527
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: bottom left of your screen wearing a Derrek Rose Minnesota

528
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: Timberwolves jersey.

529
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: Wow, I didn't see that.

530
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: I played sixty total games for Minnesota, but he did

531
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 2: have his career high fifty points against Rudy Gobert's Jazz.

532
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: I could not take my eyes off a Derek Rose jersey,

533
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: even though what number he wore for the Timberwolves.

534
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: Was it a big one or a little one?

535
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: I would say, it's in the middle.

536
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it came to me, the perfect middle.

537
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: You said, what was Town's wearing after the game?

538
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: I thought he was wearing a marble.

539
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 3: He showed up wearing a Malik Seally jersey.

540
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: Oh maybe it was. I only saw the top of it,

541
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: so makes okay, Yeah, because I was like, this guy

542
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: had two jerseys, because I know he showed up in

543
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: the okay, and I only saw him in the microphone

544
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: was shutting off the bottom of the two.

545
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: I suppose anything else really really entertaining. I don't see

546
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: why you wouldn't think this is still going to be

547
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: an extremely long series, you know, despite Dallas obviously getting

548
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 3: one already on the road. But like it's feeling less

549
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: and less important, Like so the home court advantage between

550
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: these really elite teams, we've seen Game sevens doesn't even

551
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: matter anymore, so hopefully we have a long series.

552
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: We saw Minnesota take two games from Denver on the road,

553
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: so they could do that. Yeah, ended up being three. Yeah,

554
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: because it was a game seven, but yeah, not a

555
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: problem there. I loved watching nos Reedy look like a

556
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: guard out there when he finished on that fast break,

557
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: absorbited contact and was able to finish over and he

558
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: got up and then he poked it from Luca from behind.

559
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: He stole it, looking like a TJ. McConnell out there.

560
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: That was cool stuff for me. Nosrit was good.

561
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: It was.

562
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert also helped on Nasried's free throw. He yanked

563
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, just a very nice yank of Daniel Gaffer

564
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: to get him out of the way so the Timberwels

565
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: were able to get the offensive rebound. No foul there.

566
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to point that out because everybody else

567
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: set that the Minnesota timberlves didn't get some calls. They

568
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: got called for an offensive goaltending for sure, but lots

569
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: of calls go missed. And Rudy Gobert that one for sure,

570
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: that was a yanker. He just a little double hand

571
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: on the arm. But he did it gently. I guess

572
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, so nobody called it. But that's all.

573
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: Those are all my notes.

574
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Game two Friday night, obviously in Minnesota, should be good.

575
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: Let's get to the All NBA teams. Jokic, Shay Gildess

576
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: Alexander have been unanimously selected to the All NBA First Team.

577
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 3: Both players received first team votes on all ninety nine ballots.

578
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: Joining those two, we got Luca, we got Giannis, and

579
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: we got Jason Tatum getting into the first team. The

580
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: second team consists of Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant,

581
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard, and Anthony Davis. And the third team composed

582
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: of Lebron James his twentieth All NBA selection. You got Booker,

583
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 3: there Sabonis, Halliburton, and Steph Curry. Any takeaways from the

584
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 3: All NBA teams announced last night, TK get it started.

585
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm surprised Luka Doncic wasn't unanimously on the first team.

586
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: Close right, ninety eight got ninety eight first place votes

587
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: one second team vote. I also kind of think Giannis

588
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: should have made it unanimously on the first team. As well,

589
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 2: but probably some voters are holding the Adrian Griffin stuff

590
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season, right, I mean, they

591
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: went through two coaches this year. It could be tough,

592
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: and the Bucks didn't necessarily have the smoothest season. But also,

593
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: Lukadancica is getting the biggest contract ever. This makes him

594
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 2: now eligible for a three hundred and forty six million

595
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: dollar extension I think next summer because he's already qualified

596
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: for it, but doesn't even have enough years left or

597
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: enough years played in the league at this point. Pretty impressive.

598
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: Five All NBA first teams in its first six years

599
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 2: in the NBA. I guess Shay Gibes, Alexander Anthony Edwards,

600
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: Tyre's Halliburton all made big money on this as well.

601
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 2: And I'm really happy that Halliburton made it because he

602
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: was questionable, right Like. He seemed like a first team

603
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: All NBA guy through the first two months, then he

604
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: got hurt, came back, didn't look quite the same. He

605
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: was just logging games to be able to make this team.

606
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: He eventually got enough and people were saying, is he

607
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: gonna make it? Is he gonna make it? He wasn't

608
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 2: the same guy the second half of the season. He

609
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: wasn't ah, but he made it and he deserved it,

610
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: so that's cool for him.

611
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: And he made himself, like you said, works forty million. Yeah,

612
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: same with Anthony Edwards and then Shaye. This is a

613
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: note from Bontemp's. Shay will be eligible to sign a

614
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: four year extension worth about two hundred ninety four million.

615
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: His would start in twenty seven to twenty eight at

616
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 3: around sixty five million per year. The final year in

617
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: the year two thousand and thirty and thirty one season

618
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 3: would see him earning just over eighty one million, or

619
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: nearly one million dollars per game. That's where we're at.

620
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 3: And when we get this new contract deal, television deal,

621
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: broadcast deal, these contracts are going to even They're gonna

622
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: go up because it's going to be you know, ten

623
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 3: percent more Capspike and all that they are going to

624
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: They're already silly, of course, they're going to get sillier,

625
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: and the numbers just continued to increase. But yeah, those

626
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: four guys were the real winners financially. Any other takeaways

627
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: or surprises or snubs.

628
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: Or whatever, well, I'd guess the snub ish was Jalen

629
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: Brown not being on here. That team won the most

630
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: games in the National Basketball Association. They only have one

631
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: guy on these three all NBA teams in Jason Tatum.

632
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: That would be the guy who is snubbed because there

633
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 1: are other teams that had two representatives didn't come close

634
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: to what the Boston Celtics did, so that one is

635
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: the snub for sure.

636
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he just missed out on a third team

637
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: there and Tatum over Brunson. I think some people were like,

638
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 3: who's going to be the fifth guy on the first team.

639
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: Tatum received sixty five first team votes to Brunson's thirty seven,

640
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: so it wasn't even all that close. You said, Luca

641
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: has already made what five first teams in his career?

642
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: He's twenty five years old. Can you name the four

643
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: other current players with more than five first team selections?

644
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: Lebron Lebron, of course, he's got thirteen.

645
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: Of those.

646
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: First team Kevin Durant.

647
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant has six. These other two guys have six

648
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: as well.

649
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: Jean Curry, No Westbrook, Nor.

650
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: Harden is one and then the other one us there

651
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: it is Lebron with thirteen, and then Durant, Jannis and

652
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: Harden have six first team All NBA selections than Luca,

653
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: like I said, has five. The only two teams to

654
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: have two All NBA guys the Lakers with eighty and

655
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: Lebron and the Suns with Katie and Booker. Those two

656
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: squads want to combined one playoff game, and both franchises

657
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: fired their coaches. So there's that little weird part. Maybe

658
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: you don't care when it comes to All NBAS. Those

659
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: guys are deserving, had incredible years. And yeah, it's pretty

660
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: wild that Lebron's at twenty All NBA selections. I think

661
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: he's five clear of the guys in second, like the

662
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: guys like Kareem and Kobe and Duncan tapped out at fifteen.

663
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: Fair enough. Yeah, he's at twenty, so he's just creating

664
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: more space anything else on these.

665
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: I literally laughed that when I saw that Demarta Rosen

666
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: got a single vote for this.

667
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: He did. We had we had ten, We had we

668
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: had ten other players receive an All NBA vote. Jaalen

669
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: Brown was nearly on a third team, Paul George, Maxie,

670
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert, Webb, Yama, Zion, Pallo, Fox Bam, and then

671
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: Demarta Rosen with demartin one one, there's the other the

672
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: other guys getting some love and so. And you know,

673
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 3: we had been joking throughout all the awards, who the

674
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: hell keeps voting for Simonis for you know, all defense

675
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But Simona's making this team and

676
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: rightfully so this one, this one not a shock as

677
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: much that he was in there for I think his

678
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: second time for him making an All NBA squad. That's it, right,

679
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: Awards done.

680
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: Awards done.

681
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: Yet I don't think that's available. There's got to be

682
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: a secret award out there that.

683
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: I think we've got everything new and done.

684
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: Twyeman step, Yeah, we have.

685
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 3: We've done Sportsman, Hustler, hustle.

686
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Alex Caruso.

687
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: They announced executly the year.

688
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: We didn't even talk about it.

689
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: Who do you think it was? Here's a hand. He's

690
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: got two first names, two first names.

691
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say this second one.

692
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: You could almost say he has three first names.

693
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. He wouldn't say his last name is the first

694
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: name because it's not.

695
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: I particularly would say his last name is two first names.

696
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: So this guy's got a double first name.

697

730
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: It was like Dan Gilbert's going to be more involved

731
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: in basketball decisions. Nice. I think that was like twenty

732
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: four hours. Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's get to tweet of

733

Speaker 1: Tweet over and now wow.

735
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 3: Tweeted the night comes from Abolish CXPS. You can figure

736
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 3: out what they're really sawing there. They had a flyer

737
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: that they shared on Twitter yesterday. It said free inside

738
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: the NBA school walkout May twenty fifth, at two pm.

739
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: Spread the message all right, that's the flyer. Well, someone

740
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: named Aunt responded, Hey, this is a Saturday, May twenty fifth,

741
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: that's Saturday, to which Abolish c XPS wrote, sorry, I

742
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: don't have the calendar memorized Nerd for some reason that

743
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: made me laugh out loud. But I wanted to bring

744
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: this up because we had a report yesterday from the

745
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 3: Sports Business Journal that the league is formalizing contracts this week.

746
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: Let's not get so dramatic about it. GD.

747
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, year unpredictable.

748
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: I hope you had the time. Yeah, Sports Business Journal

749
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: reporting yesterday that the league is formalizing contracts this week

750
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 3: with Disney, which owns ESPN, NBC, and Amazon for new

751
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 3: rights deals that would begin in the twenty twenty five

752
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: twenty six seasons. So the report says NBC is closing

753
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: in on taking over T and T's B package for

754
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 3: two point six billion a year, and if that happens,

755
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: next season could be the last for T and T's

756
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 3: beloved Inside the NBA featuring Chuck, Chack, Kenny, n Ernie Johnson.

757
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: We still are waiting on this obviously, you know, Warner Brothers, Discovery,

758
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: T and T still maybe trying to put together package

759
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 3: to keep this. There's the whole thing too, that even

760
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 3: if NBC or Amazon get the B and C packages here,

761
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: they could cut a deal with Turner with Warner Brothers

762
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: to continue to produce the show and this show could continue,

763
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: It could not be done, but people are starting to

764
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: say it's over and we get one more season possibly

765
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: of these guys, which wow Charles Barkley in the final

766
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: year of his contract of a show that could be

767
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's already must watch television, could even be

768
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 3: to the next level. But any takeaways from all of this,

769
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 3: you think this is the end?

770
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: Definitely could be. Do you think it?

771
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: Do you think it should be the end? What I

772
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: mean that, I mean if it's ESPN and it's NBC

773
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: and it's Amazon, so there's no TNT and they don't

774
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 3: come to an agreement like do you would you like

775
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: to see what I prom post? They're like, oh well,

776
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 3: Amazon could just pay them and they could just do it.

777
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it doesn't have Ernie, maybe it's somebody else, but

778
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: it could be the guys like would you want that?

779
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: Or you almost like would you be at peace with

780
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: like iconic show T and T show through and through

781
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 3: and maybe you know these guys are also getting up

782
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: there in age. Maybe it is. Maybe that's fine. If

783
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 3: it ends, people think that's crazy.

784
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: You mean, end it on a good note essentially, how

785
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: good it's gone.

786
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 3: Because it could just be some bastized version that Amazon

787
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 3: pays a fortune for, and it's like, it's not necessarily

788
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: gonna be we don't know, it would be good, Probably

789
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 3: wouldn't be the same.

790
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: You think it would be different.

791
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think exactly the same.

792
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: It's gonna change anywhere, Yeah No, But I think this

793
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 3: sho'll be very different without Ernie Johnson.

794
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: Oh well, I just to me shout out to my

795
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: guy Q skirt. If the NBA doesn't find out a

796
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: way to bring back Inside the NBA, big mistake. Okay,

797
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: So I think they would do it with everybody because

798
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think they obviously they need Ernie.

799
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: Ernie's key to the entire enterprise. But I think that

800
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: everybody would realize that. So it's behooves NBC and the

801
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: NBA to figure out a way to make this happen,

802
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: because then you're uniting the two things people love about

803
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: the broadcast, Round Ball Rock and Inside the NBA. That's

804
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 2: all people care about. Nobody cares about anything regarding NBC

805
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: except for the theme.

806
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: Song right right, and that it's on broadcast television. I

807
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: guess that seems to be a big problem with the

808
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: TNT package. But yeah, of course it's inside the NBA.

809
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you want it back? That's what people adore.

810
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's I guess I'm saying I don't want

811
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: it back if there's no Ernie. If it obviously, like

812
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 3: we say, it's all the show is all the cast,

813
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: which uh duh, Yeah, I get that, but it's also

814
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: the production team behind this show. If it's a completely

815
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: different team producing the show with those same guys, it's

816
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: not gonna be the same show. It's just absolutely not.

817
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 3: We know a lot of those people and we worked

818
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 3: with them, and they're like, they're a huge part of

819
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 3: the success of that show, like producers and directors and

820
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: everybody behind the scenes, is my point. But if su

821
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: they're the ones still doing it, then yeah, then maybe

822
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: it's fine.

823
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: And Charles Barkley says this is the same thing about

824
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: Ernie Johnson. He said, we wouldn't we wouldn't have a

825
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: good show without Ernie Johnson and we need him there,

826
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, it would be the same production team. I

827
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: guess they could do that because Ernie is there, because

828
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: Ernie ain't leaving. Ernie ain't going anywhere. So if you

829
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: want to do within the same four walls. Just get

830
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: the same production crew and you know, and just paid

831
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: ship it mail that show every single week. I mean

832
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: somebody they can take it, Amazon can take it. I

833
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: suppose it is new producers.

834
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: I think for Inside this year, right, like Tim Kyley retired.

835
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got people they've he's groomed off, definitely.

836
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the same of course, man Keith is there

837
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: doing their things for some golfing.

838
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: He was a part of the Black Masters. Yeah, that's right.

839
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 3: Uh And did he who was he with? Did he win?

840
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: No?

841
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: I think he got put with.

842
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: Charles Vince Carter one.

843
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Vince won with under Was he with Underdog? I

844
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 3: can remember the.

845
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: Teams screen cap.

846
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: We'll see otherwise, Meet you guys on Saturday or meet

847
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 3: you in the quad.

848
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 2: In the quad, a lot of stuff going around. What's

849
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: your favorite inside the NBA clip? You guys have a favorite?

850
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's tough. Go ahead.

851
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: I mean this isn't a classic inside the NBA. But

852
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: I like Shack diving into a Christmas tree over and over.

853
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

854
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just a good physical physical joke.

855
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: I think the funnier physical joke was when you like

856
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 3: got caught on the wires underneath running ripped out the monitor.

857
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 3: That was because that was maybe like real. I love

858
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: their reaction to the police presence during the very Was

859
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 3: it Clippers? Who was that? Clippers Rockets? Was that the tunnel?

860
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 2: It was definitely the Clippers. Yeah, Clippers Rockets. That makes

861
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 2: me think so.

862
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: And then they were Ras was on when she was

863
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 3: like on location and she's talking about the cops and

864
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: like they are just like they start laughing before they

865
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 3: even come back to the studio and then they can't

866
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: stop joking about the police presence. And Shaq's so good

867
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 3: at like egging on Charles like just keeps repeating it.

868
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 3: That's I mean, one jumps in my head.

869
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Shack has definitely grown into the hype man role

870
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: just getting chucked as he's become so good at that.

871
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: I love Shack explaining how it's cheaper to fill up

872
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: your gas tank early. That's one of the funniest and

873
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: he gets so so mad about it. You saw that

874
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: one going around on Twitter a whole bunch.

875
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 3: That one's sort of similar to our conversation back in

876
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 3: the day trying to figure out how ATMs were.

877
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm shocking that moment. I still don't get it.

878
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: But I've been racking my brain for a whole bunch

879
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: of other clips that I love, and I think it

880
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: comes down to my favorite inside the NBA clips are

881
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 2: anytime they showed one of our shows.

882
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's good.

883
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorites. Honestly, it's nice to be

884
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: a part of the history, right awesome.

885
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 3: Anytime we got to work with those guys.

886
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 2: Those are my favorite clips when they talked about our show.

887
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. One of my favorites is definitely Ernie telling

888
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: the guys that these guys from Canada are coming down

889
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: to produce this show down here. It wasn't on nbyon Tanty, It's.

890
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 3: It's NBA TV, right well, Ernie, Yeah.

891
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: It was NBA TV because it was inside. What was

892
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: that show?

893
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 3: What was that called where they talked?

894
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, where he tells everybody that e J Sleets

895
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: what did he call?

896
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: You?

897
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: And Taj Mahal are coming down. Yeah. Also, there was

898
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you know how you could

899
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 1: buy one game on League Pass for sixty six ninety nine.

900
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: That was happening for a while. Yeah, And Chuck was

901
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: told to Chuck on the broadcast because Ernie was just

902
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: advertising basically six nine nine you can buy the Lakers

903
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: versus the Bucks, and Chuck said, what is the night

904
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: Way robbery? That is ridiculous? So that was that was awesome.

905
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 2: Those are great clips. I feel like it was in

906
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: the twenty ten era where anytime they would put a

907
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: promo up for the Lake game, Chuck is just like,

908
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 2: don't watch this game, doing the worst promo work possible.

909
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: Do not watch this. People are mentioning Shaq saying that

910
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: California is closer than the moon because he can see

911
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: the movie.

912
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 3: I highly recommend you go check out the First Ballot podcast.

913
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 3: I think you appeared on it once upon a time

914
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: talking about something Bulls related. But Tim Kyley, the longtime

915
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: producer of The Inside, was just on it recently and

916
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 3: he is a very funny guy and he's like he

917
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: just pulls back the curtain and it was a really

918
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 3: entertaining listen. So go check that out. The First Ballot

919
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 3: Podcast really really a fun podcast. So yes, we will see,

920
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens here. Nothing is official yet with

921
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 3: these with these rights, right, you know, we've been hearing

922
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: this for weeks now where it appears to be going

923
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 3: and what this means for T and T but we'll see.

924
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 3: I guess here's my final question. Do you think games

925
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: are on these other networks, on these other streaming things.

926
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: But TNT is like we're still doing a halftime show.

927
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: We have no game, but when it goes to half

928
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 3: at that particular game on NBC, we're gonna be on

929
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: TNT reacting to the game and just exactly like normal

930
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 3: and after the game and all that. Do you think

931
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: people would, you know, find a way to still go

932
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 3: watch that.

933
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,239

934
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: would never do that. It's not worth it. The games

935
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: are the most important thing obviously inside the NBA, guys

936
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: are important, but you need the game. Okay, okay, I'm

937
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: just being that's just a monetary thing. Come on, come on.

938
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 3: Some people would be watching the game and being like,

939
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 3: all right, well let's go see Chuck and Chuck and

940

941
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: Yes, they're worth the you gotta go worth millions and

942
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: millions and millions dollars. Let's be honest. It's not. But

943
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,960
