1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Hey guys, So I just wanted to check in. I

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: haven't been on here in a while because I haven't

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: been feeling great. I've actually started doing blood letting, and

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to show some of the leeches

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: that I've been working with through this process. And I

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: just turned to say, it's like it's really amazing and

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: it works better than you think. Like the first of

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: all times, you're like, this is crazy, I'm fainting, but

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,840

Speaker 2: other and hug.

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: It's like, exactly.

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: All right, we got games to recap last night. We

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: got a bunch of news, but we also had a wedgie,

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: our first weggie of the playoffs. Yeah, we had a

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: couple in the play in, but that's just the postseason.

51
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: These are the playoffs, baby, hashtag playoff mode. And it

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: was Trey Young late in the game against the Celtics

53
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: sticking the very highly placed weggie there on that left

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: hand floater like layup. So fifty five wedgies we needed it,

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: Like I said, a first one here of the actual.

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: Playoffs, thirty seconds on the clock. Too key wedgie.

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: Especially then what happened after the jump ball. The Hawks

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: have a brain fart, a Congo's looking around complaining about something,

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: and Robert Williams gets the alley on the other end

60
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: looked like they looked like the weggie maybe was gonna

61
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: win the Celtics the series.

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 5: It was like a four point swing on the wedgie

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: Trey Young layup to Robert Williams dunk. But as we'll see,

64
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 5: if you stick a wedgie, good things come. Yeah, I

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 5: think things come to those who wedged. He ice tray

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 5: fed the weggie gods and they blessed him exactly right

67
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: with the game winner, and man, what a shot from

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: Ice Tray hits the deep three to lift the Hawks

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: to the one nineteen one to seventeen win over the Celtics,

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 5: shocking a lot of us to give us a game

71
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: six back here in Atlanta, bumping Janet Jackson.

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: From State Farm Arena. I guess she's here tonight. She

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: was supposed to be there on Thursday night, but the

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: Hawks gotta play a game, a game six versus the Celtics,

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: So Janet gets bumped to Friday night.

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: Is that what they did?

77
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Yes?

78
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 3: All right, she's splitting it Wednesday and Friday. She puts

79
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: on a great show, still sells out arenas.

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: Oh, do you think she should the day arrest? Come on,

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: she's gonna be on. I think she should be the

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: halftime performance at the Hawk Celtics game.

83
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: Exactly's here. We know she doesn't have plans right Thursday night.

84
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: What a shot though, and what an ending here from

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Trey Young scoring the Hawk's last fourteen points, including that

86
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: thirty foot bomb the dagger over jail in Brown.

87
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: Unexpected with the way it happened from the Hawks side

88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: and from the Celtics side. They were up thirteen with

89
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: six minutes to go. They could have easily put this

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: thing away. And some bad Celtics habits, some old bad

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: Celtics habits of getting into isolation, not moving that rock,

92
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: settling for threes. Last five thirty of this game, they

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: only had two baskets and there from Rob Williams. So

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: that's shocking in a game without Dejonte Murray where they

95
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: should be able to get to the hole, and they were.

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: Tatum was seven of eleven on his twos because he

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: was able to get to the line. But they struggled

98
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: in the last few minutes and Trey absolutely made them pay.

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: This is a Hawks trademark. Let's get down and then

100
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: let's bomb, and that's what they do at the end

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: of games. And Trey is hot in fourth Gord. He

102
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 3: scored sixteen yesterday, sixty fourth quarter points now in the series.

103
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: That's what he does. And yeah, he lined up one

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes earlier. That was deep that missed,

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: So I think he got warm for that that shot.

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: John Brown, he was right out there. He was pretty

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: freaking close to that ball. I mean he got as

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: as stretched out as possible and that was it. But

109
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: the Celtics definitely let this thing go, and now they

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: have fewer days rest if they move on to the

111
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: second round, and Joel Embid's waiting, maybe he's waiting injured.

112
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: Embiid gets two more days rest for those legs. His

113
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: performance in Game one should be as good as Jane

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: Jackson's on Friday night, because he should be feeling should

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: be feeling good, and Celtics fans have the right to

116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: be upset. Another flight another two days lost of rest

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 3: for them. But you know, the Hawks got the recipe

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: of Trey shooting well from three, Celtics shoot shot poorly

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: from three, and they didn't turn The possession battle was

120
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: absolutely even.

121
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: So it worked out thirty eight points thirteen assists for

122
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: Trey Young. Bogdanovich had a great game, you know, slotting

123
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: into the starting lineup for de John Tay Murray, as

124
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 2: you guys had thought would probably happen. You had a

125
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: great game from John Collins, Big John twenty two points.

126
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: I mean, this was like probably on the short list

127
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: of one of his better games of the season, I

128
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: don't know, like top ten, probably when you look at

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: all of his game logs.

130
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: He gave up that Rob Dunk, though he didn't get

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: back on that wild wild jump ball.

132
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: After the jump ball, I thought him man Congo both

133
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: Congo was literally like going like this, looking around, like

134
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: wondering what the hell was going on? And you thought

135
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: it felt like that was the game there.

136
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, But.

137
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah the Celtics, they made some boneheaded fowls.

138
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 4: Really.

139
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: I mean that Marcus Smart one with sixteen seconds ago. Yeah,

140
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: that's just Marcus Smart trying to like do a little

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: too much. He's like, I'm gonna poke this, I'm gonna

142
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: get the game saving steel. He's done it before. But

143
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: he got his hand on it and then you know,

144
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: it goes the other side and he just like he

145
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: takes out Trey Young at the legs. The official standing

146
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: right there, they're gonna call that, you know, ninety nine

147
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: times out of all hunter. So that was just like

148
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: it's like a little too much, man, Yeah, slow down

149
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: a bit, let's just play some defense. But yeah, they

150
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: did themselves no favors, and now they got to go

151
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: to Atlanta and try and win Game six. They they

152
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: might I'm not gonna go to the game every time

153
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: I go. The Hawks lose Game two in Boston obviously,

154
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: the last game here in Atlanta, so I will avoid

155
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: this one. But yeah, what'd you think of Trey Young here?

156
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: The Hawks performance and then the Celtics sort of blowing it.

157
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: That's why I'm still Team Trey. I know it was

158
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: just named the most overrated player in the Athletics Anonymous

159
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: Player Poll, But like ESPN's Tim McMahon always says, he's

160
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: got the Cones factor. He does.

161
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: Great shot from Trey Young. Kind of surprised Jalen Brown

162
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: is what Jalen made it sound like in the postgame

163
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: press conference, saying he didn't need a three, he only

164
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: needed one. You're not necessarily expecting Trey Young to pull

165
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 5: from thirty feet with a couple of seconds left on

166
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: the clock, but he was ready to make it and

167
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 5: in such a good rhythm that that's a Trey Young

168
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 5: makeable shot. He's been on fire the last three games,

169
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: thirty two and nine. In the Game three win, thirty

170
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 5: five and fifteen, though patted those numbers a little bit.

171
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: I thought at the end of Game four, and then

172
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 5: last night thirty eight and thirteen, he showed up when

173
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 5: the Hawks absolutely needed him to. And then the bad

174
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 5: Celtics that we've seen more so last season, showed up

175
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: when the Celtics did not want him to four turnovers

176
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: for Boston the first three quarters of this game, four

177
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 5: turnovers the last four minutes, and even their players were

178
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 5: basically saying, specifically these were bonehead plays, the foul by Smart.

179
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 5: You could see Jalen Brown saying.

180
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: Why would you follow them? Just bad stuff.

181
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 5: You live by the smart, you die by the Smart.

182
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: He was awesome down to stretch in Game four for Boston,

183
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: but he's gonna have games like this as well too,

184
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: and you just hope to survive it. Unfortunately for the Celtics,

185
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: they were not able to kind of weird to me though,

186
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 5: it seemed like they went away for Jalen Brown in

187
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter of the guy was cooking thirty five points.

188
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: He hit a three that put Boston up thirteen with

189
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: six minutes left, took two shots after that, had one turnover,

190
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: and it was just kind of like trying to get

191
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: to the end of the game by having Tatum bring

192
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: it up. He's throwing lazy passes over the top. Trey

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 5: Young was playing great defense in this game. He was

194
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 5: really involved on the passing lane. But they should have

195
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 5: just kept rolling with Jalen Brown. The guy was cooking

196
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 5: and the Hawks did not have an answer for him

197
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 5: all night long. But then it turned into Smart and

198
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: Tatum down the stretch. So I thought that was kind

199
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: of strange.

200
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of Celtics fans too, saying why is

201
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: even Smart playing so many more minutes than a guy

202
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: like let's say Derek White, who's very positive in this

203
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: game plus nine Marcus Smart minus twelve, And we've seen

204
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: what Derek White's done all season long, especially even here

205
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and that's a fair criticism. I think

206
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: of Joe Mizzoula, I get it, you know, the idea

207
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: of like sticking with the vet there in Smart, he's

208
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: likely going to make a big player here, but not

209
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: in this one because he also had that he got

210
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: called for an offensive foul like a moving screen or whatever.

211
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: He threw sort of a shoulder with like one fifty

212
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: to go, and you know he's also flopping around like

213
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: crazy out there. He did that a couple of times.

214
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: Like this was a game where yeah, you probably could

215
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: have went a different direction and maybe should have. And

216
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: that's why Celtics fans are like, Jesus, what are we

217
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: doing here? Like I thought we've learned some lessons with

218
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: this team, but no, because they've done this before, especially

219
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: in last year's postseason.

220
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: Maybe they got it out of their system in the

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: first round here for them, but similar stuff happened last

222
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: year they got to the NBA Final where Marcus Smart

223
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: made some mistakes. It happened, So you can look at

224
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: it as a glass half fle But.

225
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: Because you have brogged in even to go to along

226
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 2: with White, I mean you you can move off of

227
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: Smart in some situations, totally right. But yeah, we'll go

228
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: to Game six. Any feel on this one is anybody going?

229
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: You guys gonna try and get down there some standing

230
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: room only tickets. So it's a great question. I already

231
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: rsvped in to play pickup basketball on Thursday nights. Okay,

232
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

233
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 5: If there's an announcement that the Hawks are bringing zazop

234
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 5: that you at a Game six might have to be

235
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: an attende.

236
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you if the Hawks managed to

237
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: pull out a Game six victory, like, let's just say,

238
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think it's likely, but who knows

239
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: who would be the Zaza Petulia on this current Hawks

240
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: roster to grab a Mic and say we're going to

241
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: Game seventh, b John Collins.

242
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: I don't know who's the biggest fan favorite on the

243
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 5: Hawks right now, because that was the thing. Like we

244
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: got a short you should check it out on our

245
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 5: YouTube page explaining how the whole Zaza thing went down,

246
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 5: and basically like he went forehead to forehead with Kevin

247
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 5: Garnett during this series, so he was kind of locked

248
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 5: in as their enforcer and you know, just the fan

249
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: favorite who comes in deep off the bench and fires

250
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: everybody up.

251
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: I think a cong wu baby congou if he just

252
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: had a huge Game six. He is a fan favorite

253
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: obviously being a younger guy in the Hawks, him grabbing

254
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: them love it sure like they have to.

255
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: You have to, they have they have to at least,

256
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 5: I mean they're gonna play the speech, I would think,

257
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, why not calls Oza?

258
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: What's he doing? It's free? Yeah, probably so they also

259
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: need it. Okay, if Janet Jackson can't play at halftime

260
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: of Game six, just played Janet Jackson jams throughout the

261
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: entire game, Sir Foster tickling the keys up there every song,

262
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: Janet Jackson, See what happens, See what happens Okay, I

263
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: terrified the Celtics are gonna crush them by thirty six.

264
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: But I also thought they were gonna win last night,

265
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: and it looked like they were going to until they

266
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: shit the bed and Trey Young said, no, I I

267
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: have done this before, and I'm going down, you know, shooting,

268
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: like how many shots did the guy take in this game?

269
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: And this is the other part the coaching of the

270
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 2: Celtics in Minzula. It's like, yeah, he he did pull

271
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: up deep. Yeah, they only needed too, but also anybody

272
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: but this guy who's just been going on an insane

273
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: run here, like maybe do what we saw the Warriors

274
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: do obviously with Daron Fox and just like just run

275
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: a body on him and let a Bogdanovich beat Illetta,

276
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: John Collins beat you what somebody else try and do it.

277
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: But he pulled up from that's Curry level.

278
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: Beat thirty three shots, first thirty eight points. And yeah,

279
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: I think if there's anything positive for the Celtics to

280
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: take from this is, yeah, the deep shots of three balls.

281
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: It's what the old guys say, and in this instance,

282
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: I think it's true. If the if the three ain't falling,

283
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 3: especially against this Hawks team, you can drive it. I

284
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: know the Hawks were doing their part as much as

285
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: they possibly could be on the boards, and but the

286
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: Southist could score. I mean, the Southist can score when

287
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: they get into the lane. So maybe that's a good

288
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: side for them in the weeks ahead if they advance.

289
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: That they just stopped taking threes when they ain't falling,

290
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: especially when they have an advantage.

291
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: But I mean Tatum one to ten from three in

292
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 2: this game.

293
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: And seven to eleven on two, so it's it was

294
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: pretty clear where the game was going for him, but

295
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: he decided Nah and Jal almost having a monster It's true,

296
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: he was awesome.

297
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: I did love this note from John Hollander at the Athletic.

298
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we know about the Hawks, it's

299
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: that all roads lead to five hundred. So a winning

300
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: Game six and a loss in Game seven would finish

301
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: their season record at forty five and forty five, with

302
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: only forty eight hours in the last three months spent

303
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: more than one game on either side of five hundred.

304
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: There was two days where they were more than one

305
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: game above or below five hundred, so maybe they are

306
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: set up in a win game six.

307
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 5: It is written, Yeah, congratulations to the Atlanta Hawks coursing

308
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: a game seven nothing easy.

309
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, wild wild stuff.

310
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 5: One other note, as the Hawks were making their comeback

311
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter, the Celtics were obviously turning.

312
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: The ball over quite a bit. You had a bit

313
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: of a Dr De Rozan scenario.

314
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: You could hear a little kid on the broadcast, clearly

315
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 5: a Boston fan, screaming things such as stop giving the

316
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: ball away.

317
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: I thought it was a woman screaming that.

318
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 5: It's just it seemed like a child to me, but

319
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: I don't don't know exactly who it was. Maybe it

320
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: was a woman, because this coming from a child is

321
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 5: a bit interesting.

322
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: Get off your knees, you're blowing the game. Yeah.

323
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: I think.

324
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: There was also like a you're one of the worst

325
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: refs ever. You could hear it. It was picking up

326
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: this woman who must have been behind Gus Johnson and

327
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: Gray Anthony, like a roll or two behind or something.

328
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: One fan should be micd up per game. That's fair.

329
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,359
Speaker 2: It's very funny to hear. I wouldn't be surprised.

330
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: If a kid said, get off your knees, you're blowing the.

331
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: Kids these days, man to.

332
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: Man.

333
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: I was talking to Rod Benson on Twitter about it.

334
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: You're probably right. But if you go to a gaming here,

335
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Kids pick up everything, kids repeat stuff.

336
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: How you think the momb was singing? Under was yelling?

337
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: That's what kids do. You gotta watch watch your tone,

338
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: watch your tone kids.

339
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: Any other thoughts on Hawk Celtics. Do you think they

340
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: can extend the series and give us a Game seven?

341
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: Baby or nah? Now they hit nineteen threes, I guess

342
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: it helps their chances.

343
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: Well, I said six before the series, so I'll go

344
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: with six now. I don't know how we got here.

345
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: This was a wild I thought it was done in five.

346
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: De Jante Murray comes back. The Celtics have been up

347
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: when they want to be up. It feels like other

348
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: than that, though, the Game three that was the Hawk's

349
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: best win, I'll take the Celtics. I don't know. I

350
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen. I don't know which

351
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: Janet Jackson performance is going to be best Wednesday or Friday.

352
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what's gonna happen.

353
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I assume Boston will be the favorite for

354
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 5: Game six, but we said yesterday looking at how the

355
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 5: Hawks can pull an upset, it's got to be the

356
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: Celtics shooting under forty percent from three. They were thirty

357
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 5: one last night. They're never going to stop taking them.

358
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 5: That's the thing is that Missoula wants them to play

359
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 5: this three point heavy style. It's very high variance, but

360
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 5: that's why you can get up huge and then blow

361
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 5: elite as well. So another poor shooting night. Trey Young

362
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 5: has kind of clearly figured out the Celtics defense right now.

363
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 5: He's putting up thirty and fifteen every single night.

364
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: So de Jonte Murray is back, which I may have

365
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: forgotten until Ziggy said here in the stream.

366
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 5: He's been one of the best. He's been the best

367
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 5: talk probably, I don't know. Trey Young has been very,

368
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: very good. But the pair of them won them Game

369
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: three trading shots down the stretch. Trey won them Game five.

370
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 5: They could do it again, I suppose in Game six,

371
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 5: but their backs are against the wall. That's good news

372
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: for the Hawks.

373
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point, and the stream team seems

374
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: to be siding with you guys. A lot of votes

375
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: for kid over what I believe was a woman. You

376
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 2: have to go back and listen to that tape. All right,

377
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: let's keep it going here, Devin Booker scores forty seven

378
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: to lead the Suns past the Clippers. They win the

379
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: series in five. Douchebag sweep. Yeah, I'll be by surprise.

380
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. The douchebag sweep for those they

381
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: don't know, you give game one and then you'll win

382
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: four in a row because you're real douche and that's

383
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: what they did. The opposite of the gentleman sweep is

384
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 2: what we're getting here, of course, where you win three

385
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 2: in a row like the Nuggets did, give the other

386
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: team game four and then win game five. Because you're

387
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: a gentleman, you give him a little bit of a chance.

388
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: But doucheback sweep. Devin Booker a spiritual game and third quarter.

389
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: That was amazing what he did there in the third quarter,

390
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: the twenty five point third quarter, forty seven overall, Like

391
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: I said, he avered thirty seven to five and six

392
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: on sixty forty seven and eighty six shooting in this series.

393
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: It's good. I think he gets overlooked still, I don't

394
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: know what it is. I don't know why. You know,

395
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: we're applauding it. People will talk about it a little bit,

396
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: but it doesn't seem when he does these that it

397
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: gets the fanfare that like maybe a Butler gets or

398
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: you know, other other players in my opinion, but yeah,

399
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: they win, and it's disappointing series because of the whole

400
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: Kawai injury and Paul George not even playing. Like, don't

401
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: get me wrong, it's going to be more of a series,

402
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: but Sons just outscored them.

403
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: They did. Yes, we're looking forward here to a Nuggets

404
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: series where they try and guard those guys straight up,

405
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: because in this Clipper series, they were trying to get

406
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: the ball out of Kevin Durant's hands over and over

407
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 3: and over again, and Kevin Durant did a good job

408
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 3: of allowing Devin Booker to cook. And Devin Booker was ridiculous. Yeah,

409
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: he just took over. He was, I think, Yeah, we

410
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: said it earlier in this series. He's definitely overlooked because

411
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: all the conversations are about Kevin Durant when you talk

412
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: about the Phoenix Suns because of what he's accomplished. But

413
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: Devin Booker was having his best season before he got hurt. Yeah,

414
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: he was going to be first team All NBA with

415
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 3: a bullet but then he got injured. Yeah, and so

416
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: he has been ridiculously phenomenal. Yeah, just find in his groove.

417
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about the next series, but

418
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the next series. Now, we'll

419
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 3: preview that on Friday before they get going on Saturday.

420
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: As they both finished the job in five games. It's

421
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: just it's just hard to guard both those guys, as

422
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: simple as that. It's just simple basketball. He was on fire.

423
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: They were down, you know, at half, I mean they

424
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: had given up a ton of points, the Suns were

425
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: and then in that third quarter, just like from the

426
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: start of it, he was starting to attack. Obviously get

427
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: into his spots. He chased down like an offensive rebound,

428
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: falling at a bounds, saves it in, runs to the corner,

429
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: giving it back to him, splashes the three. It was

430
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: like those. He was making hustle plays. In addition to

431
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 2: then once he hit heat check mode. I think there

432
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: are a few players that are more enjoyable to watch

433
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: when they're just like in the damn zone. It is

434
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: Kobe like in that sense where he just brings it

435
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: up and pulls up. He's like, no, this is going

436
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: in ten of eleven in the quarter tray, they almost

437
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: gave it all back at the end. Good fight here

438
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: from the Clippers down their two superstars to make it

439
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: a game, to make it like a one possession game

440
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: there late. But that's why Booker's what he's doing in

441
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: this series is being overlooked a little. The two guys

442
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: who would be guarding him aren't playing.

443
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they're beating a shorthanded team, but they're beating

444
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 5: them pretty well. Yeah, I mean, the Suns really played

445
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 5: one quarter in this game. They played that third quarter.

446
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 5: Booker outscored LA twenty five to twenty four, and the

447
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 5: rest of the Suns outscored LA twenty five to twenty

448
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 5: four in the same quarter, a fifty point quarter. In

449
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: the playoffs, that's major. If you're a pessimist, you'd say

450
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 5: the Suns needed forty seven from Devin Booker, thirty one

451
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 5: from Kevin Durant to barely beat this Clippers team without

452
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 5: Kawhi and Paul George, a three of eighteen from Westbrook

453
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 5: in one to.

454
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: Four from Gordon.

455
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 5: They gotta get major production from their top four, but

456
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: they're able to do it because Kevin Durant can pile

457
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: up thirty one points like an afterthought. It's like, how's

458
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: he even scoring, there's just random broken plays. He's scoring

459
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 5: in transition when they get the ball out of Booker's hands. Finally,

460
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant is there to pick up the slack as well.

461
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 5: But these two can score on literally anybody. It's gonna

462
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 5: get tougher, I think going forward, the Suns are the

463
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 5: Nuggets are not necessarily the greatest defensive team, but at least.

464
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: They'll be fully stocked for their matchup. But yeah, Booker

465
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: on fire.

466
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 5: The one for me when I knew that the game

467
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 5: was going to be over despite the Clippers comeback here

468
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 5: was like he got that little rocket pass and just

469
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 5: had the fall away falling to the left baseline. That

470
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 5: was an insane shot. It's just like, okay, what are you?

471
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: What are you supposed to do? He was taking the

472
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 5: shots that were open, and then the shots that weren't open.

473
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 5: He was hitting those ones as well. Ten for eleven

474
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 5: in the quarter.

475
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: Good stuff.

476
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Warriors like to me, the way they

477
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 3: just turned it on. They're down at half and they're

478
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 3: playing with pace too. That was the exciting part for me.

479
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: They're moving it really quickly. You think of this team

480
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: maybe plot it up and just find their mid range shots.

481
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: But they're playing really really quickly, and yeah, if you

482
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: want to go glass half full for the Suns, Kevin

483
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: Durant has not found his flow. Even though he shot

484
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: well in this game. He started poorly and turned it on.

485
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 3: He still hasn't found his flow quite yet because they're

486
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: doubling him. But that will change. I think in the

487
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: next series they're going to play him straight up, I

488
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: imagine with Aaron Gordon. Can't wait to see that. Yeah,

489
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: so yeah, that quarter, that fifty point quarter, So Warriors

490
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 3: like to me pace literally smack them in one quarter,

491
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: and that was the ballgame. They were able to keep

492
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 3: it close the Clippers were with a Sun's twenty five

493
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: point quarter, they went from fifty to twenty five and

494
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: in the fourth and the thinness of the bench and

495
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: all that played a part, But the bigger part was

496
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: Devin Booker and Kevin Durant just being on the floor together.

497
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: Clippers had chances in this series, even with the Kawhi

498
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: injury and even missing Paul George. They stole Game one,

499
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: They took home court advantage right away, and that was

500
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: Kawhi playing and that his return to the postseason looked incredible.

501
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: They had a great free throw advantage in Game two,

502
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: obviously didn't pull it out in the end. They got

503
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: combined seventy two points from Norman Powell and Westbrook in

504
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: that Game three at home that was without Kawhi, and

505
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: then even Game five last night, fourth game of the series,

506
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 2: where they had a double digit lead. I mean, they

507
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: were up, and they were down a lot and then

508
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: they were back into it, but they fought hard. We'll

509
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: get into the Clipper and the Wolves and sort of

510
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: their next moves and what they need to address in

511
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: the offseason, what they could possibly look in terms of

512
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: dealing players and stuff like that. We'll get to a

513
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: little bit later in this show. But rough night for

514
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: Westbrook after the dominant couple of games before that. You

515
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: said it there three of eighteen. He had a bad

516
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: one in game one, but they won that one. Yeah,

517
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: and he gave he like he just completely boofed a

518
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: layup late like it was a game man. There was

519
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: like he was like left nd layup. He buffed it.

520
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, he buffed it. Yeah, he buffed a three pointer

521
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 5: down three. I mean, you're not really expecting Westbrook No

522
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 5: to knock that one down, But we've seen him make

523
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 5: a random three here and there in the past before.

524
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean Westbrook kept him in these games

525
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: during games two, three, and four, so you're gonna roll

526
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 5: with him. Also, you don't really have any other choices.

527
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 5: But uh yeah, three for eighteen. It's tough to overcome

528
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: if you don't have Kawhi. Yeah, going to the line

529
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: every time.

530
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: Crazy stat here A little trivia for you guys, is

531
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: a tough one from stattitudes Westbrook. That horrific shooting night.

532
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: Fifteen of his eighteen shots he he clanked. Second time

533
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: in the series. He shot less than twenty percent on

534
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: fifteen or more field goals Since the ABA NBA mergers.

535
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: We're going way back, but they're not that old. Only

536
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: two other players have recorded multiple such games in a

537
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: playoff series. Right, twenty percent shooting or less on fifteen

538
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: or more field goal Teme so a decent shot Sean

539
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 2: Starks NBA Finals. Okay, I thought you might get that one.

540
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: The next one, the only other one I'll give you

541
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: the give you the year two thousand and one.

542
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: The year was two thousand and one.

543
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Glenn Robinson no a better player, but it uh

544
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: is it close to home? Going? Is it Vince car

545
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: It's not, but it's someone that had a great battle

546
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: with Vince Carter Alan in the Eastern Conference Finals. Yes,

547
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: against the Bucks, right, I guess he had two stinkers

548
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: in that one. But they won. They obviously won in

549
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: the seven games, and so did uh oh it starts

550
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: lost in seven games in the ninety four finals. But anyway,

551
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: thanks stattitudes for that weird, weird little stack. I love

552
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: that stuff. Any other thoughts on that game?

553
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: N Now we'll get to the what ifs with the

554
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: Clippers and their future, and then we're gonna preview obviously

555
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 3: around two nice son.

556
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a fun ass series, I think, babies. Yeah,

557
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: we'll do that on Friday, like Tash said. But last

558
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: night's game, the final one, the Nuggets eliminated the Wolves

559
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: one twelve, one oh nine behind Jamal Murray and the Joker.

560
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: So it was tied at one o four with a

561
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: minute ago. So the Wolves almost extended their season, almost

562
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: gave us a game six. But Jokic scored two big

563
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 2: buckets down the stretch there, and uh he had a

564
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: pretty damn good game despite shooting like crap for him

565
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: twenty eight points, seventeen boards, twelve assists, and then Jamal

566
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: Murray was thirty five, including a circus shot that was

567
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: pretty amazing.

568
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, a circus shot so good that people are just

569
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 5: sending around the still image of him facing away from

570
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 5: the basket holding the ball as he's close.

571
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: To the ground, wearing brown shoes but flipped it up

572
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: over his head.

573
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: What are those shoes?

574
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh, you're the shoe man. Yeah, I

575
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: was doing I was doing my work trying to find

576
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: out just googling Jamal Murray brown.

577
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: Shoes and they literally look like something he'd wear the pool.

578
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: They're so odd.

579
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 5: Garden and shoes, but he were falling. Yeah, they were

580
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 5: totally working. I thought, kind of a cool game for

581
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. Shot out to the Timberwolves. Started slow in

582
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 5: this series, but figured things out basically starting in Game

583
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 5: three and actually made it entertaining as things went on.

584
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 5: Jokich only two for nine in the fourth quarter. I

585
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 5: didn't think he looked very good. Towns was playing pretty

586
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 5: solid defense. Yokicic was throwing up shots that he often makes.

587
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 5: It looks sloppy a lot of the time when he's playing,

588
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: but he just didn't seem to have a great rhythm,

589
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 5: but came through with the offensive rebounds to really put

590
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 5: the Nuggets over the edge here. I thought Michael Porter

591
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 5: Junior really struggled in this game, but had a couple

592
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 5: of clutch moments. He had the driving dunk to get

593
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 5: himself on tracked. There's that big offensive rebound by Aaron

594
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 5: Gordon to mp that was a major shot as well,

595
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 5: So shout out to MPG sticking with it. Couldn't score

596
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 5: through the first three quarters of this game, but he

597
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: was hitting the glass and then made some shots when

598
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 5: it really mattered. And then old brown Shoes Murray thirty

599
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 5: five points, looking incredible, just looking like we've seen from

600
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray in the playoffs before up and down season

601
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 5: this year. He got in a rhythm eventually, but everybody

602
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: knew for the Nuggets to be a real championship contender,

603
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: he was going to have to get to Bubble Murray

604
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 5: levels in the playoffs, and as we've seen in this series,

605
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 5: he can still get to that level pretty regularly.

606
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: Due I can't wait for Jamal Murray versus Devin Booker

607
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: and the scoring explosions that's going to happen in that series.

608
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, what'd you think of this game?

609
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the fourth quarter showed I think the Nuggets,

610
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 3: if you want to be positive about them, how they

611
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 3: can win ugly games. This was an ugly game for them.

612
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: But offensive rebounds they are massive as size wise. Awsive

613
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: rebound offensive rebounds for them also proved to be massive.

614
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: But they are just a big team and against the

615
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: Suns team, you could see some of that happening. They

616
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: won the offensive rebound battle sixteen to eight. You mentioned

617
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: the key ones there, they were just chucking up shots.

618
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: Yoki's just you know, a cold night eight of twenty

619
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: nine for him when it all a said and done, like.

620
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: One of his worst shooting nights ever in the league.

621
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So I think they started slow in this

622
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: game for a couple of reasons. I love coach Michael

623
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: Malone calling out his fan base after the game, knowing

624
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: that they are the they are the number one seed

625
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: going forward here against the Suns. Are gonna have home

626
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: court against whoever in the Western Conference finals they get

627
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: that far, they will have home court. But he said,

628
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: our fans didn't show up. I looked up into the

629
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: stands and I asked, what the hell was going on

630
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: to my coaching staff, and there was a storm in

631
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: the Denver area, and it was an early start, a

632
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: combination of a couple things. But yeah, it was a

633
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: late start for the Nuggets team. They started so slowly

634
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: this game, they were shooting so poorly, but they're still

635
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: staying in it and then just got the job done

636
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: at the end. Jamal Murray said, the trash talk got

637
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: him going. Apparently there's some trash talk from the Minnesota side.

638
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: You could see that coming from Anthony Edwards or something

639
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, a strange one. And yeah, Jokic,

640
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: so he was smiling at the end of this game,

641
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: like I guess just that that shot just went in.

642
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: A lot of those flippies that he usually does usually

643
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: go in, but finally that one that I saw ESPN

644
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: call a dagger and one I don't know how you

645
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: call a dagger flip shot. It's a flip shot, doesn't

646
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: feel like a dagger. It was technically, I guess it

647
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: fits the definition dagger. Put an end to this team,

648
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: That's what it was, for sure. But Jokic smiling as

649
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: he put an odd flip like only Jokic can as

650
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: a very fitting But yeah, it was. It was odd,

651
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: an odd finish to this series, but it's an ugly win,

652
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 3: and so you can be positive about that if you

653
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: think Denver's going to go far.

654
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: And Anthony Edwards had a not a great look, I

655
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't call it that, but a chance to tie the

656
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: game they even had an opportunity was.

657
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: Sort of wild online baby.

658
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, I didn't miss by much. Yeah, I sort

659
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: of just hit the back of the rim there. Otherwise

660
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: it was possibly going to overtime for the second game

661
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: in a row. But he had twenty nine points, thirteen

662
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: to twenty seven, shooting eight board, seven assists, and you

663
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: did say, like Towns twenty six and eleven, that was

664
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: one of his better games. Struggled from deep dough one

665
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 2: to six and Rudy, you know, the box score looks good.

666
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: I thought he played Jokics pretty well for a majority,

667
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: but then there were unfortunately like those possessions where they

668
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: could have really used the defensive rebound. Yeah, and he

669
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: sort of just got out hustled to the ball, out

670
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: quick to the ball a couple of times that Aaron

671
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: Gordon won on the side. I think that was Rudy

672
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: involved in that one. And then that Jokic one. That

673
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: was a bit of a backbreaker. But they've got a

674
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: bunch of question marks surrounding this team. Missing a bunch

675
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: of guys though, of course, no even Kyle Anderson not

676
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: playing in this series from what games four onwards? No

677
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 2: Nas Red, no, who else? Might forget aid Jay McDaniels. Yeah, man,

678
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: they could use some defenders like that and some a

679
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: little more bench depth, but they did at least make

680
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: it a little more entertaining as it went on. Let's

681
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: take a break because we will do Sun's Nuggets on Friday.

682
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 2: But when we come back, we'll talk a little bit

683
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: more about the Timberwolves and the Clippers, and the question

684
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: will be to you, guys, which team is in a

685
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: better position as a franchise moving forward into the offseason.

686
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: We'll debate that talk a little bit, a whole bunch more.

687
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, all right. If you're joining us live

Speaker 2: like button make sure you subscribe. We have some breaking

690
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: news here from our guy Schams about twenty minutes ago,

691
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: tweeting that Clipper star Kawhi Leonard has been diagnosed with

692
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: a torn meniscus in his right knee. This guy obviously

693
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: bald out in the first two games of that postseason

694
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: matchup versus the Suns before that moniscous injury was revealed

695
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: and he was shut down by their medical staff. Yikes,

696
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: this guy and the injuries that he has suffered here, well,

697
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you who has a brighter future,

698
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: who's in a better spot when it comes to the

699
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: Clippers or Wolves might be leaning towards Minnesota with this.

700
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: I guess we wait to find out surgery not is

701
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: it just rehabilitation. I mean that's like what that's generally

702
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: six to eight weeks if you're not doing surgery, and

703
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: if you do, it's three months and to six months

704
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: or something like that. And this guy, who knows maybe

705
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: even longer with his injury pasted. Yeah, I mean, I

706
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: guess we will hear in the coming couple of days

707
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: or weeks whether or not he needs surgery. But the

708
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: Clippers are done now, so there is enough time to

709
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: get right for next season, to at least be healthy

710
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: and healed coming into next season. But I mean, suffering

711
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: another knee injury now means signing up for another year

712
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: load management for Kawhi Leonard and just the question mark

713
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: every single game of will he be on the floor

714
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: even if his knee is completely healed by the time

715
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: next season starts.

716
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they took this year as slow as possible so

717
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: this wouldn't happen. And then Paul George also got injured. Yes,

718
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 3: it's it's becoming one of those stories, the big what

719
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: ifs Now, there's no question about it. Kawhi after twenty

720
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: nineteen and a championship run where he carried a team

721
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 3: did have the bubble and he was healthy for that,

722
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: It's easy to forget. But then the three years since,

723
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 3: with two years left on his contract, what's going to happen?

724
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: What do the Clippers do as they go into the

725
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 3: into It Dome, their new arena that should be opened

726
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 3: next year sometime. It's got all those toilets, as Steve

727
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: Balmer told us, what do they want to do going forward?

728
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: I think it's a fair question to ask. With Paul

729
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 3: George and Kawhi Leonard signed through twenty twenty five, two

730
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 3: full years, is it the old running back? I guess

731
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: you really have no choice's, but it's especially going into

732
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: a new arena. I bring that up because I think

733
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: it kind of goes hand in hand, but it's such

734
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: a feeling of pessimism and how will they ever, how

735
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 3: will you ever positively think even a person like me,

736
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 3: I always believe, I always think Kawhi is will, especially

737
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 3: the way they slow played it this year, that he'll

738
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: somehow get one more run. But it's now three seasons

739
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 3: in a row where he hasn't been able to finish

740
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: this series the season take.

741
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 2: Load management and the slow play, as you call it,

742
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: to the extreme, Baber shut down Kawhi Edward and Paul

743
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 2: George for the entire regular season. Hand the keys to

744
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, say, hey, man, get us into the playoffs

745
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: as a six or seven seed. We've seen you do

746
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 2: it a million times before when you just run the show,

747
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: put up thirty point triple doubles, and then just come

748
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: back and try and give us maximum twenty eight games

749
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 2: over a two month stretch. Can you do that and

750
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: even bet on that because every postseason these guys just

751
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: unfortunately cannot stay on the floor, both of them, especially

752
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: at the same time. But they're they're in a tough

753
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: spot here because you're right, what do they don't have

754
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: any draft capital? Oh that's gone for the most part

755
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: to the thunder in the SGA Paul George trade. They

756
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: don't control their own pick until twenty twenty seven, right,

757
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, you've like, I mean, what would even be

758
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: the Like Okay, you say, hey, let's try and trade

759
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard, I mean what would you even get in return?

760
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: I mean other teams are seeing what happens, seeing the

761
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: load management, seeing the unfortunate knee injury after knee injury,

762
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: it's like, you're not even going to get back. I

763
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 2: don't think all that much unfortunately, because he's his body

764
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: is failing him. So they're in a brutal spot here.

765
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: Probably more likely to be able to trade Paul George.

766
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: I think his injuries seem to be more like things

767
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: that happen rather than chronic injuries that need to be maintained.

768
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: With Kawhi, but.

769
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 5: That's like in between a rock and harp place, like

770
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 5: do you want do you want the guy who's slightly

771
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 5: less injured but still always injured? Maybe so, but uh yeah,

772
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 5: I mean it feels like we're gonna be looking at

773
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 5: the same Clippers team because there's not a lot else

774
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 5: they can do.

775
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's either you trade both of them. To me,

776
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: which is would be a very difficult move, or you

777
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: run it back, which is also very pressing.

778
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, it's just bad because you've already done

779
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: this three times. I mean it's like the definition.

780
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 5: Of yeah, you're saying, you know what they should do

781
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 5: is set sit load load managed for an entire season.

782
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: They did it.

783
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: They already did it.

784
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 5: Kwi Leonard didn't play an entire season and then didn't

785
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 5: play the first half of this season trying to get

786
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 5: ready for the postseason, and then when he finally played

787
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 5: forty minutes, he got hurt again.

788
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: Maybe they should just play every game so they're used

789
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: to playing games. Maybe they.

790
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's uh, something's weird if you're if you're resting

791
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 5: this much and then when you start playing again, you

792
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 5: keep getting hurt.

793
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 2: The same thing happened to Kevin Durant. Like, I don't know.

794
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: They play fifty two games in the end, which probably

795
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: is a bigger number than you'd think with all the headlines,

796
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: but the Paul George value is probably higher, which sounds stranger.

797
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, a guy for a guy who came back

798
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: from that devastating jury way back and seems to be

799
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 3: more resilient so sad, so sad. Yeah, two more years

800
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: under contract.

801
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: Right, and they they're not probably going into the new

802
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: arena next season, I think is where they have that's

803
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: right circle there to take a bunch of shits and

804
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: all the toilets in the into it dome. You think

805
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: someone will try and do that?

806
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, use I think hilarious piece of content. I used

807
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 5: every toilet and a Clippers during a Clippers game. That

808
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 5: would go viral, That would go viral, absolutely, But the

809
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 5: problem for me is enough excrements to use every single

810
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 5: toilet piece or who's.

811
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: Ones two? I'm just saying, we got time to think

812
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: about it, We got yeah to eat and hold it.

813
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, playoff pete double pepis and there's something something.

814
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 2: What about the Timberwolves again, the question was gonna be

815
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: until we learned this like real Kawhi news here and

816
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: uh and the severity of that injury is which franchise

817
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: is in a better position?

818
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 3: Clips are Wolves?

819
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: So I guess it is Wolve's probably by default.

820
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 3: But they at least play behind it's it's it's part

821
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: of it. Clippers are moving into their thirties at least,

822
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 3: even despite Carl Anthony town's not looking like a number

823
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: one guy anymore. At least you have Anthony Edwards doing

824
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 3: some record breaking type stuff. And in terms of these

825
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: you know, fake records, guys getting to these playoff marks

826
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: under twenty two years of age. So you've got a

827
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 3: number one.

828
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

829
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's with a bullet So you've got to

830
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 3: be excited about that. Although the cupboard is bare in

831
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: terms of draft capital, like the Clippers, they gave it

832
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: all away for Rudy, so scary stuff.

833
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: The Wolves president of basketball operations, Tim Connolly, his name

834
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: is being linked a lot to that vacancy in Washington,

835
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 2: so who knows what happens there, but whether he stays

836
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: or goes. The major decision here is what are we

837
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: doing with these This town's go beaar frontcourt? Did we

838
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: see enough of the sample size where we're like, oh,

839
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: this isn't all that great, it's a bit hit and miss.

840
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: Or did you not? And you still hold out hope

841
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 2: with as your number one guy and these two guys

842
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: somehow making it work with all the complimentary pieces around it,

843
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 2: and you can believe in that, possibly with a new coach,

844
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, with Chris Finch or not, but or

845
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: have you seen enough? Like, what's your opinion on that? TK,

846
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: you're in the front office, are you like, no, we

847
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: didn't it wasn't a lot. Let's go at the start

848
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 2: of the season with these, you know, are three guys

849
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: that we've obviously invested a lot in or is it

850
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: like no, let's trade was trade high as possible in

851
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: a guy like Carl Anthony Towns.

852
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 5: Let's say, I don't think they've seen enough to move

853
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 5: on from the experiment. Only twenty nine games played this

854
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 5: season for Carl Anthony Towns, then he came back for

855
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 5: the playoffs after a calf injury, so a little slow

856
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 5: getting up to speed.

857
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: There were some good moments for Cat.

858
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 5: I thought, in particular in Game five, he like finally

859
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 5: put his head down and just started going to the rim.

860
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 5: I imagine like for me, I've seen enough. I don't

861
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 5: necessarily think it's gonna work. I think the stretch of

862
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 5: the season when the Wolves were playing their best was

863
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 5: when Carl Anthony Towns was out and they were playing

864
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 5: kind of a more modern look with Rudy Goberts. They're

865
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 5: rolling big shooters and athletes. Athletes are alongside Anthony Edwards

866
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 5: and then Edwards going to the next level becoming an

867
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 5: All star twenty five point per game score.

868
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: That looks like the right way that the Wolves.

869
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 5: Should be playing. You can recoup some of those draft

870
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 5: assets if you do trade Towns, but I imagine that

871
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 5: they're going to want to take a look at it

872
00:41:59,040 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 5: and see just.

873
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: Exactly what it looks like with everybody healthy.

874
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 5: That means that Towns needs to stay healthy and be

875
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 5: healthy at the start of next season. I think he

876
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 5: was coming off COVID at the beginning of this year,

877
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 5: so a slow start as well. But they owe it

878
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 5: to themselves to at least take a look at it,

879
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 5: see that it doesn't work.

880
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 2: Maybe see that what Chris Finch can do. Because I'm

881
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: with these skeets.

882
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 5: I think he's probably on one of the hotter seats

883
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 5: in the league after the way this season went, and

884
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 5: then maybe things change at the trade deadline next year.

885
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 5: I don't think that this will be the team till

886
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 5: the end of Karl Anthony Town's contract to the end

887
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 5: of Rudy Gobert's contract, but at the start of next season,

888
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 5: I could see if the big three still be in there.

889
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally think they're gonna be there. Towns is

890
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 3: signed through twenty twenty eight, a long time from now.

891
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: He's got a huge contract and if you even thought

892
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: about trading him, the value'll be good, but they'd hope

893
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 3: it'd be better later on. I think in the contract,

894
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: I don't think this is the time to even even

895
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 3: think about it. I think they run it back for

896
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: one more year and work around the edge of with

897
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 3: the the roster. So at least, at least Anthony Edwards

898
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: has stepped into that one role, number one role. If

899
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 3: they have a start of a season next year where

900
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns is healthy, maybe he knows and she's yeah,

901
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 3: I mean it's very clear that he is in the

902
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 3: number two spot. But yeah, the fit with Rudy Gobert

903
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: is definitely fair question as to how far they can

904
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: go with you the pieces of Jade McDaniels and and others,

905
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: Nikhil Alexander Walker which is a nice slip into the

906
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 3: Mike Conley deal there, and others. But yeah, fair, fair,

907
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 3: very fair questions. Karlington Towns has to be better. He's

908
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 3: literally going to be paid fifty eight. I think it

909
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 3: might be even sixty in his last last year it's

910
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 3: fifty eight and twenty six, twenty seven. Yeah, it's a

911
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 3: big number. So when Anthony Edwards gets his max deal,

912
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: I know it's it's easy just to say trade that guy,

913
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 3: But what are you getting back, Like what I mean,

914
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 3: you might.

915
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: Be getting back some players more on the age timeline

916
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 2: of an Anthony Edwards and stuff like that to really

917
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: build again. You're getting off of this problem of having

918
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: to try and figure out Gobert and Cat playing together.

919
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: So whatever these new pieces that are coming in, maybe

920
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: some more draft capital that you obviously gave up a

921
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 2: ton in the Rudy Gobert trade, I think they should

922
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 2: be active. I think a team would definitely still be

923
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 2: able to talk themselves into Karl Anthony Towns being like

924
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: a missing piece, a second or third guy to the

925
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: right squad. And I'm with Trey, I like, I don't

926
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 2: think it, whether it's Chris Finch or not, I just

927
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: don't think this is going to win you a bunch

928
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: of playoff series. I'm not even sure Cat is like

929
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: built to win a bunch of playoff series, of being honest,

930
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: So I'm a little worried too of the run it

931
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: back scenario. Fine, I don't want Anthony Edwards a sour.

932
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 2: I don't want him to be like, what the hell

933
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: this guy doesn't have the dog in him or whatever?

934
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 2: What am I doing here? What are we doing? It

935
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: would be my only like a real reservation of like, Okay,

936
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: let's just see what they can do at the start

937
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 2: next season. I don't just like you've got We've basically

938
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 2: seen this guy. He can lead a team. He's gonna

939
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: need a lot of help around him. He's still super

940
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: super young, he still makes mistakes. But you just have

941
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: a lot more faith in Anthony Edwards being the cornerstone

942
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: over team than maybe ever even Cat has showed you,

943
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: especially when it comes to playoff series and stuff like that.

944
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's clear who the number one option is.

945
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 3: I think Kat knows too.

946
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: That's good.

947
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's positive. He's just gonna play better.

948
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: And Cat's become the Wiggins. It's weird.

949
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Wiggins. Anthony, It's Andrew Wiggins. Was there and I

950
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 5: was like, well, clearly it's become Karl Anthony Towns. I

951
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 5: think Andrew Wiggins is fine with him being the number

952
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 5: one guy, and now it has completely flipped too many smiles.

953
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. I we'll see who's even making that decision.

954
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 2: I see, I guess it was rap Stallion saying it

955
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: would be pretty wild if Tim Connolly makes that rudy

956
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: Goobert deal and then leaves. Holy crap, which is, you know,

957
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: appearing to be one of the worst trades over the

958
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: last little while.

959
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 5: It's like, have the turbo team over to install a

960
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 5: toilet for me and then ruined my toilet, put in

961
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 5: a one with a fart hole, just left to jump

962
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 5: on my couch.

963
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, brutal, and have part of ownership of that toilet

964
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 3: house like Tim Connoley has part ownership Temperwolves.

965
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 2: Weird.

966
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is weird. If you was to leave, I'd

967
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 3: be pretty amazing.

968
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: We find out that these thousands of toilets in the

969
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: Into It Dome are all like, uh joke, fart hole toilets.

970
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: Somebody screwed up in ordering. Has this happened to you?

971
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: You're building a billion dollar arena, bragging about the toilets

972
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: and they all got tiny holes in Does this happened

973
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: to you?

974
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 3: Oh man? Sometimes it feels like journals are those tiny holes.

975
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: Toilets are holes in urinals getting smaller and smaller. I

976
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 3: think so let us know down below, because it's not

977
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 3: only regular toilets where they have this this record number

978
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 3: of toilets that includes urinals, journals, they're included in the count.

979
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, okay, good Uh. We had some more award

980
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: news last night. The magic forward Pallo Bancaro was named

981
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: the overwhelming winner of the NBA's Rookie of the Award

982
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year Award. Ban Caro dominated the voting

983
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: ninety eight of one hundred first place votes, four hundred

984
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: and ninety four out of a possible five hundred points,

985
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 2: followed in the voting by Jalen Williams aka G Dibb

986
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 2: and Jazz Center Walker Kessler. And Kessler actually got those

987
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 2: remaining two first place votes. No surprise here, I assume

988
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: from you guys, unless maybe you're a little shock that

989
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: Walker Kesler got two first place votes and that he

990
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: wasn't unanimous pella or no, or do you cant well?

991
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there was the tally man. I forget his name,

992
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 3: the person who has been tallying these votes.

993
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: Froze Froz, Chris Froz, Chris.

994
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: Froz, who's been talling it from the people who actually

995
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: have votes, and they've come out and said on podcasts

996
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 3: or written form, Hey, I voted for this guy, so

997
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 3: we knew that there was one vote from Andy Larson

998
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 3: of the Salt Lake Tribune if I am correct, for

999
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 3: Walker Kessler.

1000
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 2: Who's the mysterious second vote.

1001
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: Who knows. I would have loved if Andy Larson was

1002
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 3: the lone voter, because then he would be labeled us

1003
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 3: the guy who voted for his hometown player, just like

1004
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 3: our Chuck Swirsky when he was broadcaster for the Toronto Raptors.

1005
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 3: He gave Andrea Barniani Rookie of the Year vote and

1006
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: everybody else, everybody else, everybody else gave it to the

1007
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 3: Marcus Aldrich. In this instance, I guess Andy Larson got

1008
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 3: he got lucky, or maybe not.

1009
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be another Utah person voted for Walker Kestle,

1010
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 2: who was very impact Obviously it.

1011
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: Could be, but I don't know that for sure. But anyways,

1012
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 3: do you want to be the person? I mean it

1013
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: guess it's good in a notoriety. I guess do you

1014
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 3: want to be the person who didn't give the first

1015
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 3: place vote to the guy who definitely deserved it? But

1016
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 3: Jalen Williams a clear second. Yeah, when all said and done,

1017
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 3: Boncaro a clear first.

1018
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: Twenty points per game, seven boards, four assists. Third Magic

1019
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: player to win Rookie of the Year, joining Shack and

1020
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: Mike Miller, who I don't know if you guys saw

1021
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: the pregame show last night before the Hawk Celtics when

1022
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: they were giving the award to Pelo ban Carro. They

1023
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 2: had a great photo of Mike Miller when he won it.

1024
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: You should see the lapels on the caldared shirt Mike

1025
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 2: Miller was wearing, Like you don't it feels like a joke.

1026
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 2: So he won it in the two thousands, right, early

1027
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 2: two thousands.

1028
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild.

1029
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: It was insane. The size of the lapel, like it

1030
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: looks like the seventies, Like it was a I got

1031
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: a power look, I gotta find this big old shirt.

1032
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: And Mike Miller is the agent of bank Caro. Yeah. Yeah,

1033
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that not surprised that it wasn't unanimous for

1034
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: Paolo because we knew about the Walker Kessler vote previous.

1035
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 2: But even when that was a minor scandal, Andy Larson

1036
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 2: was having to defend himself with screen assist numbers, with

1037
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 2: advanced statistic numbers. I was thinking, this doesn't matter. Jalen

1038
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 2: Williams is gonna get a first place vote. Somebody's got

1039
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 2: a vote for him as Rookie of the Year.

1040
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 5: Which was so good in the second half of the season. Obviously,

1041
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 5: the Thunder made it to the play in Tournament, won

1042
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 5: a game there, and he was a huge part of it. Also,

1043
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 5: with solid through the first half of the season, just

1044
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 5: really turned.

1045
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 2: It on as the year went on. I thought he

1046
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: would pick up at least a first place vote, but

1047
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 2: Paulo was the guy, and to me, he kind of

1048
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: won Rookie of the Year in the very first game

1049
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: of the season when he had that sick dunk against

1050
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 2: the Pistons.

1051
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 5: It's like, well, that guy's gonna win Rooie of the Year.

1052
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 5: He continued to play well throughout the season, lost his

1053
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 5: jump shot midway through, but still good enough to take

1054
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 5: home the trophy.

1055
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 2: Scored at least twenty points forty times and at least

1056
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 2: thirty points six times. Man Caro did. Yeah, he did

1057
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 2: have that really bad stretch there where he couldn't hit

1058
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 2: a three to save his.

1059
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 5: Single digit percentages. I think in February maybe it.

1060
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: Was rough, but obviously a well deserved Rookie of the

1061
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: Year here, and I'm with you, I thought I don't

1062
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: think it would have been. I don't even know if

1063
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 2: it's that big a deal. People will have forgotten about

1064
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: this by next week. But the Walker Kessler getting two

1065
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 2: first place votes and then JDub getting none, like if

1066
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: ninety went to Pallo and five went to Jalen, and

1067
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: then a couple more Walker Kessler like first place. Every

1068
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 2: women like, okay, that's fine, people are like, but it's

1069
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 2: because uh, not only is he not unanimous, but yeah,

1070
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: none going to Jadub and the two going to the

1071
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: guy to finish third, like hold on, especially one of

1072
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 2: them being obviously from the Salt Lake area. And we'll

1073
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 2: find out where that second one's from. But it's a

1074
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 2: little favorite TISLM right.

1075
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 3: But Jalen Williams ended up finishing second yea, yeah, yeah,

1076
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: one and all of a sudden dead so he used

1077
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 3: the runner up.

1078
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 2: And more importantly, Tim Bontemps correct one, two, three again

1079
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: six for six. They've nailed it. He knows it. But

1080
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 2: that means Yokich is gonna win MVP. If you go

1081
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 2: buy the ESPN article that I keep alluding to there's

1082
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: no way. There's just no possible way, right or is

1083
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't believe it anyway. Also, according

1084
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 2: to timbon Temps, the All NBA, All Defense, and All

1085
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 2: Rookie teams, along with that MVP, which we still don't know,

1086
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: will be unveiled later this postseason. But why wait when

1087
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: it comes to the All Rookie teams, let's just name them.

1088
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 2: I just want to wait, Let's just do it. The

1089
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 2: first one is so easy, the All Rookie first team.

1090
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 2: It's Pello, It's Jalen Williams, It's Walker Kessler, and then

1091
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 2: it's probably Keegan Murray and Benedict Matherin. You can make

1092
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: a case for Jane and Ivy for sure, but if

1093
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 2: you if he's not on the first team, then he's

1094
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: going to be obviously on the second team. But I'm

1095
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 2: gonna go with Ben Carrow, JDub Kessler, Murray and methern

1096
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 2: any issues. That's my top five, top five.

1097
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matherin fell off in terms of percentages and maybe

1098
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 3: that would sway people, but they're still good. Yeah, Yeah,

1099
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 3: went all a said and done, and yeah he had

1100
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: a better year than Ivies, which is what it comes

1101
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 3: down to. But I think Keegan Murray is kind of

1102
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: even somewhat overlooked in terms of the top three discussion.

1103
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,760
Speaker 3: He should have been up there with Walker Kessler easily

1104
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 3: in the top three. I think he had a phenomenal year.

1105
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 2: Set the rookie record for most three pointers made in

1106
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: a season, shot over forty percent. Obviously on a winning

1107
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: team too. Yeah, he's deserving the first team All Rookie

1108
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 2: second Team. There are many more names to talk yourself into.

1109
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 2: I went with Jaden Ivy as a no brainer. Jalen

1110
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: Duran his teammate there you know, obviously looks like an

1111
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 2: athletic freak pick and roll finisher. There go get her

1112
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 2: type of rebounder. Jamari Smith Junior, I'm going to include now.

1113
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of love for

1114
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 2: his teammate Tarry Eason, especially what he does defensively. Jamaris

1115
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 2: Smith Junior, though started very very slow. I think at

1116
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 2: one point maybe he was the worst shooter in the league.

1117
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 2: That started to tick up over the season, and as

1118
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: he got more comfortable with the NBA game and his

1119
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 2: position within that team. He had actually really good numbers

1120
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 2: of the final quarter of the season. The final twenty

1121
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 2: games or so, so I'm going to include him here.

1122
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 2: And what he's doing, he's doing against the starters in

1123
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 2: the NBA, you know, Tarret Easton. Majority of this stuff

1124
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 2: coming against second unit, So I'm gonna go Jo Barry

1125
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 2: Smith Jr. I got Jeremy Sohan on the list. Now,

1126
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 2: he only played fifty six games for the Spurs, but

1127
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: a really electric player does a whole lot of everything.

1128
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about the hustle you see, you

1129
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 2: see the Rodman esque, you know, even Draymond esque a

1130
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 2: little bit, the way he moves around out there and

1131
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 2: is always just diving for everything. So I'm gonna include him.

1132
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 2: And then the last spot, I went with Andrew Nemhard.

1133
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: The numbers do not jump off the page at you,

1134
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: but that guy can run an offense and for a

1135
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: rookie point guard man or rookie guard, he really takes

1136
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: care of the ball, a really good assistant, turnoverration, all that,

1137
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 2: so I'll put him there. So Ivy dur Jabari Smith, Junior, Sohan,

1138
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 2: and Nemhart That's who I had on the second team.

1139
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: Anyone else you wanted to go to bat four on

1140
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: the All Rookie Second Team?

1141
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 5: I would be saying tari Eason okay over Jalen Duran.

1142
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 5: Duran I didn't necessarily consider. He was basically the bench

1143
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 5: big for the Pistons and they just kept bringing in

1144
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 5: guys to play over very very weird.

1145
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 2: Choices from the Pistons.

1146
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 5: I thought he had a fine season, just I thought

1147
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 5: Easan did a little bit more. Sure what about this

1148
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 5: guys that I would include? Shaden Sharp he scored a

1149
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 5: lot because there was a lot of shots to be had.

1150
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 5: Aj Griffin I thought was a solid player.

1151
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

1152
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 5: Nembar should be on the second team. And Christian Brown

1153
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 5: is another guy who I'd throw into what about this

1154
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 5: guy conversation because he stayed in the rotation for the

1155
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 5: best seat team in the Western Conference the entire year.

1156
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 2: Rookies playing major roles. That's good to me. Yep. The

1157
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 2: only other two what about this guy's Malachi brownham twentieth

1158
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 2: pick for the Spurs actually pretty solid. The more opportunity

1159
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 2: he got as the season went on for them, he

1160
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 2: played well. And I love having a guy named Mark

1161
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 2: in the league. Mark Williams Hilly played forty three games,

1162
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 2: so he's not going to make one of these all

1163
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 2: rookie teams, but he averaged twelve and ten in his

1164
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 2: seventeen starts. When they finally sort of went to him,

1165
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: shot sixty four percent as a as a big guy

1166
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 2: in the middle for the hornets there, but you nailed

1167
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: all the other What about this guy's good guys?

1168
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he nailed them. There are zero more. What about

1169
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 3: this guy's I think they're all done well.

1170
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: The deep, the deepest, he already said Christiane bro Mark

1171
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 2: Williams is a pretty played Brandhams a deep one.

1172
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 3: David okay Yah feels like he's been around forever.

1173
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: Final piece of news here, this is good news. ABC's

1174
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 2: broadcast of Game four between the Kings and Warriors recorded

00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 5: Also Steph Curry. People love Steph Curry. I saw this

1188
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 5: tweet the stack going around on Twitter yesterday. Since twenty fifteen,

1189
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 5: twenty seven NBA games have drawn over fourteen million viewers,

1190
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 5: and Steph Curry was in all twenty seven of them.

1191
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 5: He is the most entertaining superstar in the league. Well

1192
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 5: right now, for the past decade, I would say, uh.

1193
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 2: Sports media Watch says the Kings Warriors series accounts for

1194
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: four of the ten largest NBA audiences this season. Three

1195
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 2: Christmas games, a couple Lakers Grizzlies playoff games here, and

1196
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 2: then the Clippers Sons game one. So yeah, Kings Warriors

1197
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: must watch television. People get it. And maybe that Game

1198
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 2: four two. Yeah, great spot there on the week. But

1199
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 2: we had the Draymond Green suspension. Maybe that peaks a

1200
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 2: little more interest with the casual fans and stuff like that.

1201
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: Whoa the Warriors, they could be down three one. People

1202
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: love dynasties too, Dynasty to see whether they can continue

1203
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 2: or falter. So this is good, good news. Wait to

1204
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: watch basketball, keep doing it.

1205
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said, it's the first first game that got

1206
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: this number in twenty one years, the round highest in

1207
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 3: twenty one years. Yeah, since O two. The one that

1208
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 3: it passed was Warriors Rockets another Curry game in twenty sixteen.

1209
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 3: Now Sports Media Watch goes into detail and says that

1210
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 3: out of home viewing wasn't included back in twenty sixteen.

1211
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 3: It is now, So you're in your bar and stuff

1212
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 3: like that. So to be fair, Sports Media Watch doing

1213
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 3: a great job. To be fair, that number would be

1214
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 3: higher than this King's Warriors game. So TV's are so

1215
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 3: TV watching still down. But you know, we're getting technical here,

1216
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 3: But I'm just that that number would have been out

1217
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 3: of home viewing wasn't included. Nielsen couldn't couldn't measure that

1218
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 3: back in the in the sixteenes.

1219
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 2: It's like who watches the watchmen?

1220
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:13,320

01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 2: go anywhere, all right, back here in the Classic Factory,

1298
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 2: our guy Jerome chiming in in our slack channel that

1299
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: he once shot and edited a video that showed up

1300
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 2: on Tim Horton's TV. And that was a big deal.

1301
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 2: And then we're debating what's bigger being on Tim Horton's

1302
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 2: TV or Pizza Pizza TV. And I think Jerome is right.

1303
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 2: I believe it is bigger. Credit Tim Horton's made its

1304
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: way to the US many more locations.

1305
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 4: I assume Pizza Pizza Ontario only I'm.

1306
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Not sure it has a bad rap too. It's it's

1307
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 2: a garbage pizza. As a man who has eaten it

1308
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 2: many times, it is a piece of ship pizza.

1309
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 4: But I'm not gonna In.

1310
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 2: Fact, did you see what they did recently? I thought,

1311
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was one of these, like

1312
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 2: you know, viral marketing jokes almost but at Pizza Pizza

1313
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 2: you can buy a little like Pete roller to take

1314
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 2: your sauce and roll it on your pizza.

1315
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 4: Let's say that. I thought that was an April fool thing.

1316
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 4: I don't know, like literally a paint.

1317
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Roller, pizza paint roller that you can take your ranch

1318
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 2: dressing or whatever and spread it evenly on your pizza pizza.

1319
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 5: Disgusting Pizza Pizza. Though they made a major mistake. They

1320
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 5: were never going to be able to cross over to

1321
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:41,439
Speaker 5: the States.

1322
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Little Caesars. Yeah, so that is a big issue.

1323
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,840

1388
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they redid a bunch of the stores, right,

1389
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 2: and they'd have like suddenly there was like a fireplace

1390
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 2: in a Tim Horton's and everybody could sit around and

1391
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 2: watch Tim Morton's TV.

1392
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, because because other coffee shops were taken over there.

1393
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah trend, Yeah, coffee time coffee. I think.

1394
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 4: I think the biggest competitor for Tim Hortons is McDonald's

1395
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 4: in Canada, just for the breakfasts and stuff.

1396
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 2: They need to bring coffee time down here, a piece

1397
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 2: of ship, place where you can still smoke in it.

1398
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm convinced, not my fly down here. Get it out

1399
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 2: in southern Georgia.

1400
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 4: Smoky donuts, nothing like.

1401
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 2: Place Doda. All right, great tweet of the night from

1402
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: our own guy, Jerome Busy. Schedule tonight. Three teams, the Knicks,

1403
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and sort of inexplicably the Miami Heat have

1404
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: close out opportunities, right, they can wrap up their series

1405
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 2: on the road, all three of those teams, and then

1406
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 2: the nightcap is our first pivotal game five of the playoffs,

1407
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Warriors Kings in Sacramento. It'll be fascinating to see how

1408
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 2: Darren Fox plays with the little you know, splint there

1409
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 2: on his fractured finger. But yeah, four games on here tonight.

1410
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 2: Tests it's a lot, and we have Survivor to watch

1411
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 2: somehow that might be a tomorrow morning watch. But anyway,

1412
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 2: do you think of those first three any of them end, Knicks, Lakers,

1413
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 2: or Heat. Are they wrapping it up in five?

1414
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 3: I know nothing. I cannot predict a thing, but none

1415
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 3: of these series end tonight. The Bucks ain't dying. I

1416
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 3: don't think the Cavs are dying either. The Grizzlies. Oh,

1417
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 3: I can talk myself into them winning, I can talk

1418
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 3: about but I can also talk myself into them losing. Okay, yeah, well,

1419
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 3: well bron and ad finally put their stamp offensively onto

1420
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 3: one of these games and really take over, because otherwise

1421
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 3: I think the Grizzlies They've got home court pride is

1422
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 3: a very good home court team.

1423
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 2: Toughest thing to do put a team away for good,

1424
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 2: to close that coffin door and throw the dirt on it.

1425
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 2: So that's right. Do you believe in any of those teams,

1426
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 2: you know, being able to do it to actually wrap

1427
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 2: up a series in five? I've got believe in all

1428
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 2: of these teams. Bucks.

1429
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 5: I'm expecting a huge Giannis game. His best game of

1430
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 5: the playoffs should be tonight. You gotta hope that either

1431
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 5: the Chris Middleton Ferris Wheel or the Drew Holiday Ferris

1432
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 5: Wheel is on the up and up, because it was

1433
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,440
Speaker 5: on the down and down in Game four. Unfortunately, I

1434
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 5: got a little faith in Cleveland as well. They were better,

1435
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 5: certainly in the first two games playing in Cleveland. They

1436
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 5: were super tough in Game two. They were not tough

1437
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 5: at all in games three and four. They need to

1438
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 5: get that game to intensity back, and they need Donovan

1439
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 5: Mitchell to put the team on his back and really

1440
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 5: carry him to a victory. Memphis is the team I

1441
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 5: would have the least confidence in, just because they're the

1442
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 5: most banged up I think. But we've seen John Morant

1443
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 5: have some pretty solid performances against the Lakers. We just

1444
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 5: saw a great Desmond Baine game. They just kind of

1445
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 5: need to put both of them together. And like you're saying, tasks,

1446
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 5: Memphis has been really good at home and this is

1447
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 5: a must win game against a hated opponent. So with

1448
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 5: the road team leading three to one in those three

1449
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 5: series and we got a pivotal game five, tonight could

1450
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 5: be a classic. Could be a classic Wednesday evening.

1451
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 2: We're on a nice little two run stretch here of

1452
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 2: playoff basketball. Obviously, last night's schemes were all fairly close

1453
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 2: and some big performances and than the one before that

1454
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 2: we had and that huge game. So yeah, hopefully continues

1455
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 2: for three nights in a row. We'll be back here

1456
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 2: at ten am to talk about all of these games

1457
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,799
Speaker 2: tonight and any of the NBA news. I was thinking

1458
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 2: last night that all three would wrap up in five games,

1459
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 2: but obviously the Hawks said no, no, no, sorry, Janet,

1460
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 2: We're going to play one more here in Atlanta. So

1461
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 2: because I think all three are going to extend tonight,

1462
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 2: that means one of them is going to end. So

1463
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 2: who's going to go into the other team's barn and

1464
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 2: get it done? Is it the Knicks? Is it Lakers

1465
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 2: like you guys are saying maybe the most likely? Or

1466
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 2: is it is it Miami Heat? Man? I don't know,

1467
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll be watching. And then we got

1468
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 2: a Game five between the worri Roone Kings, which could

1469
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, whoever wins this it is pivotal

1470
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 2: for a reason, could potentially go on to win the series.

1471
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 2: My god, can't wait. Join us tomorrow at ten am Eastern. Also,

1472
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 2: new No Bunz is up on the Athletic Baseball Show

1473
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 2: feed Well film Session.

1474
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 3: You better believe it. We watched Facing Nolan, Nolan Ryan's

1475
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 3: documentary that came out last year.

1476
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,440
Speaker 2: I used to love Nolan Ryan. Is it good?

1477
01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 3: It was good?

1478
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 2: Okay, good? So you guys are talking about that, you

1479
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 2: Joel jd TASKI also, I mean I should have said

1480
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 2: this off the top, but this fire jersey on tastin is.

1481
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 3: Bought a baseball jersey though, Yeah, you bought a Shivroy

1482
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 3: jersey or Shive Roy shirt. Recently, I bought a baseball jersey.

1483
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 3: You know, this is my first baseball jersey.

1484
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 2: Never had a p that's a custom too. You can't

1485
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: buy that in stores.

1486
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 3: I just never got into baseball as a kid. It

1487
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 3: just never it. I loved baseball. It's my my first

1488
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 3: real love. The Blue Jays. I collected every card, I

1489
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:40,560
Speaker 3: collected every sticker, but basketball jerseys were the jersey I

1490
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 3: don't want to button. So many more hockey jerseys than

1491
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 3: I had.

1492
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 2: Interesting, I was gonna, I was gonna say, here's a theory.

1493
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 2: There were cheaper and more readily available.

1494
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 5: NBA jerseys and here in the States at least NFL

1495
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 5: jerseys than baseball jerseys, because they would have like the champion,

1496
01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 5: you know, like the cheap.

1497
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 2: Mashaw jerseys were high quality. Baseball jerseys are more high quality.

1498
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1499
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 2: Gotta have some stitching on there, yeah, to make it

1500
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 2: look legit. So maybe that's why. Because I'm with you,

1501
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,680
Speaker 2: I like, I had a NFL jerseys when I was

1502
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,480
Speaker 2: a kid, NBA jerseys, but not a lot of baseballs.

1503
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1504
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 2: Incredibly, it was like ten years old had an Atlanta

1505
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 2: Braves jersey. I've seen a pictures a great one. Yeah,

1506
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 2: I mean I was a huge Dan sanderstand so I

1507
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 2: guess that was the reason why I had it. Guys,
