25
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: what a night. We will start with the Nuggets Blazers

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: game Denver, getting the best of Damian Lillard's fifty five points. Yeah,

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: he went for fifty five, but in a loss, double overtime,

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: one forty seven to one forty tasks. My goodness.

29
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Game of the playoffs, no doubt, And I feel like

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: we needed this a little bit after that awesome opening weekend.

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of great games. I don't know,

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: the storyline of the last week or so has just

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: felt like dumb fans and blowouts and a bunch of

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: weird injuries. So this was a nice, obviously entertaining game.

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Where do you want to start, man.

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's one of the best feelings as a

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: basketball fan in the world when you're left speechless. And

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: that's what Damian Lillard did, right. It's like everyone in

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: the building knows what's coming. At the end of regulation.

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard is gonna get the ball. It's like a

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: video game. He gets the ball, he fires away, and

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: these professional basketball players can't stop him is just going in.

44
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: It was nuts on an inbound. He tied the game

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: to send it to OT with that three, and we

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: know it's coming again. At the last minute of the

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: first OT he did it again, setting it to a

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: second overtime with another three point shot. And that was

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: after hitting another couple threes in the last minute of

50
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: that overtime. So three threes and the last minute of

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: that overtime, did it again. Then he banked the three

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: in the second overtime. I mean, I say, everyone was

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: left speechless. It's like God entered the chat. Austin Rivers.

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: After Damian Lillard finally missed a shot in the second overtime,

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: put his hands together and prayed to God and to

56
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: thank God it.

57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: Happened he missed. Ken.

58
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin Durant's watching this game after winning a series,

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: and he tweets, you know, just like the rest of us.

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: He tweets. Literally, I had like four tweets. I wanted

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: to write to describe this masterpiece by Damien LaMonte, Alie

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Lillard sor but I am seriously at a loss for words.

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: And then he tweeted, this is a spiritual experience. It's

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: like everybody everybody knew it was coming, and we could

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: talk about the defense from Michael Porter Junior, which is

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: a little act luster why is he out there on

67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: that possession? And then same thing happened to Shaq Harrison

68
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: at the end of the first ot. But I mean

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: the Nuggets being able to withstand a godlike experience by

70
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard just to be able to just chuck from

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: anywhere and the ball goes in and everybody knows that

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: this is happening. It's It's one of those things that, Yeah,

73
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: I was, I was totally in awe. I mean, basically

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: the chats were with with the Buds Tray in the

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: chat was just saying, come on, come on.

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: How does this happen?

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: Come on?

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: After the banker the banked in three was that was

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: honestly ridiculous, Like, Okay, the guys made every shot in

80
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: the book at this point and then he banks in

81
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: a three after having made how many straight at that point,

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 4: I don't know, three or four? Probably, Yeah, that was

83
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 4: I don't know, impressive for the Nuggets to see a

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: banked in three like that and not completely lose it.

85
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: That was the impressive thing to me is that, like

86
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: the Nuggets kept hitting back every single time that Lillard

87
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: was making one of these threes, and that was some

88
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: serious poise because after the Austin Rivers foul call at

89
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: the end of regulation, after Lillard hit the three to

90
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: push it into the second overtime, when no doubt the

91
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: Nuggets could have fouled when Lillard dribbled inside the three

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: point arc, like you gotta wrap him up then, don't

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: even let him get a three pointer up. But to

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: have those kind of mistakes come up a couple of

95
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: different times and still hit back and be able to

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: pull out the wind impressive stuff for the Nuggets. But man,

97
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 4: it was just crazy watching Lillard. He did that jump

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: thing with he got the foul on Rivers, and then

99
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: after that he was doing that same sort of release

100
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: for every single three pointer he took, where he was

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: jumping up and kind of flailing his legs hoping to

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 4: draw some kind of a foul call, and it didn't

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: matter at all that he had zero balance on these.

104
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: They were just pure the whole time. Incredible stuff for that.

105
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: I was like, is he on one foot or two

106
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: feet because he jump stops and then just chucks the

107
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: one leg up. But it's it's definitely a two footer,

108
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: but it's yes, unique, it's very weird looking.

109
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty five points on seventeen to twenty four shooting

110
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: an NBA record. Leley now twelve three pointers made, eclipsing

111
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Clay who had that playoff record hitting eleven back in

112
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen versus okay, see oh yeah, also ten assists.

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: But you know, and we are going to like get

114
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: to the Nuggets for sure, And like, I like what

115
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: you're saying there, Trey. The idea of like, wow, how

116
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: did they not sort of like I don't know a

117
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: from some point sort of just throw up your hands,

118
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: like I don't know how we beat this guy. And

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: I think a part of it is like maybe just

120
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: they take on the vibe of their MVP and Yokis

121
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: because we're always talking about like you can't speed him up,

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: you can never speed him up. He plays at his pace,

123
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: always poised h and that's they just continued to go

124
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: through him and he continues to make play after play

125
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: after play. But Lee no help for Damian Lillard here,

126
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: especially in the like overtime periods where it was all

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: him and then he was trying to look get other

128
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: guy shots. I mean Norman Powell missed a wide open

129
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: three in the corner. Covington, I don't know why he

130
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: thought he was Sean Kempferrell for a second, tried to

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: calck it back. He misses a dunk. Yeah, twice, you know,

132
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: missed rotations Like, okay, the defense is what is with

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: the Blazers, but like you just didn't get enough help.

134
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: CJ stepping out of bound was a big one on

135
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: the side. I mean, it's got to be deflating for

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: Blazers fans, for even Dame to some extent, like, man,

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: I can't do much more. I wasn't asking for much, guys,

138
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: and you basically gave me nothing, is what I.

139
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 5: Got to Network tweeted. Damian Lillard painted the Sistine Chapel.

140
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: His teammates powerwashed it, and I think that's that's pretty accurate, because, yeah,

141
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 5: you needed someone else just to sort of step up there.

142
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: They were down nine points with two minutes ago, just

143
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: over two minutes to go here in overtime, and it's like,

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: surely the Nuggets aren't going to lose it from here now.

145
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 5: They didn't, but Lillard just felt it just felt like

146
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 5: he was going to have to do it all because

147
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 5: he did try to get his teammates involved. He tried

148
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: to get them shots, but he just couldn't really rely

149
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: on them. And CJ he hasn't had a great series.

150
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: I know, statistically he's not too bad, but he hasn't

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: had any of those moments really where it's like, okay,

152
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: now it's CJ time and the start of the fourth quarter,

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: you know, when Lillard's sitting, that's the sort of moment

154
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: where you want to see someone like CJ say all right,

155
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 5: I'll be dame now for this period.

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: But he couldn't do it.

157
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 5: He missed a lot of those sort of mid ranges

158
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 5: that he likes to do and he just couldn't find

159
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 5: that rhythm. So, you know, for the for the Blazers now,

160
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 5: obviously it's a win or go home situation there in

161
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: Game six, and if they do win, then they've got

162
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 5: to win in Game seven on the road again like

163
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: they did a couple of years again. But they need

164
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 5: somebody to step up. Me Nurkic failing out in the

165
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: fourth quarter there certainly doesn't help him, and Cantor was okay,

166
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: but they need Nurkic to stay on the floor. I

167
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: thought that was a dumb foul that he got that

168
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 5: he foiled out on too. I think was on an

169
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: Aaron Gordon sort of dunk attempt. You almost have to

170
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 5: just give that up when you've got five fans.

171
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: The foul prior to that too, was he set up

172
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: moving screen. Yeah, yeah, he's been two seconds out.

173
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: That's like Nkitch fouls all the time like that, and

174
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: it adds up and they got to have him on

175
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: the court though. I did think they did. The Blazers

176
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: did a decent job playing small ball because there are

177
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: some possessions where you just see Jokic just running around

178
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: trying to find out who is the open guy that's

179
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 4: out there. So I don't know if Nurkic files out,

180
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: which he probably will in game six, at least there's

181
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: some optimism if you're a Blazers fan, you're gonna give

182
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 4: up buckets. On the other end, no doubt about it.

183
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 4: Jokic is gonna score, but three is more than two,

184
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: so maybe you can kind of out math him there

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 4: a little bit.

186
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, he only ended up playing twenty four minutes, and

187
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 5: again a lot of that is because he's in foul

188
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 5: trouble and then he and then he gets fouled out.

189
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: He's clumsy and he gets a bit sloppy with his

190
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 5: foul calls. But just that frustration one really at the

191
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 5: end was the one You've got to know at least

192
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 5: then your situation, like, I've got five fowls, I've got

193
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 5: to be super super careful. There's still so much time left,

194
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: ended up costing him. So you know, this was just

195
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: an incredible though performance from Lillard. I mean, there's not

196
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 5: really we know he's capable of doing these things, and

197
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 5: it certainly felt when they got to that second over time.

198
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: By the way they got to.

199
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: The got there, it was like Lilid's not going to

200
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: lose it from here, you know, but he just kind

201
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 5: of ran out of gas, like and he didn't get

202
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: that support.

203
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: And the Nuggets are lucky.

204
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: I wondered, though.

205
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, he hit those shots on Austin Rivers.

206
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 5: Why wasn't Aaron Gordon on him a little bit more?

207
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 5: I wondered, you know, And even Michael Porter on that

208
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 5: last one defended him. Okay, but Aaron Gordon had some success.

209
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: He's a bit tall, he's a bit more athletic. I

210
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: was just waiting for Michael Malone to put Gordon on

211
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 5: him there rather than leave Austin Rivers. Austin Rivers fights

212
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: your battles. But I think when you've got a physical

213
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 5: advantage that Aaron Gordon has, it's better to put a

214
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 5: big guy like that who's been defending him.

215
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 3: Well.

216
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 5: So anyway, it didn't cost the Nuggets in the end,

217
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 5: they get they walk away with the victory where and

218
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 5: really both teams should get a win and they should

219
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: just be a three to three man.

220
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that idea, just go right to games. Yeah,

221
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: that's not a bad idea because it was that entertaining. Man,

222
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: if the Nuggets hadn't pulled this out in the double

223
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: overtimeh and again that I mean luck, let's just talk

224
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: about it now, that incredible pass from Yokic to Michael

225
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: Porter Junior, which was the game winning basket, if I

226
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: if I have that right, it always gets difficult. I've

227
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: said this before. When we try to get it, we

228
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: get in these double overtimes. It's like, Okay, that happened

229
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: at the end of regulation, that happened in the first time. Okay,

230
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: that wud happened in the second time. But yeah, that

231
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior three in the corner double overtime. What

232
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: a pass trade from Yoki. I mean it's just like,

233
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys can make that in

234
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: the history of basketball. I swear to God, just his

235
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: size and touch right there, right in the spot. I mean,

236
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Covington like breaks his ankles trying to get to the

237
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: but it's just perfectly placed to MPG who knocked it down.

238
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Credit to him. He had a good game.

239
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: These are my favorite Yokic passes where if you pause

240
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: the ball wallet's in the air, you still don't know

241
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 4: who it's going to. Yes, that could have been an

242
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: assist to Gordon cutting down the lane right like he

243
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: was coming. There was a nice cut he drew Covington over.

244
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: Maybe it could have been a dunk, but it ended

245
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: up going to Michael Porter Junior in the corner for three,

246
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 4: making me look like a genius coming up as the

247
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: hero in Game five because he also made a huge

248
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: defensive play on that CJ turnover where he stepped on

249
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: the sideline. There Porter gets a hand on the ball

250
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: on the cross court pass. It kind of just readjusted

251
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: the way that CJ had to catch the ball. He

252
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: stepped on the baseline. Porter was great last night. He

253
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: definitely outplayed CJ McCollum, and I think that's a huge

254
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: reason the Nuggets got to win.

255
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ley, very solid play. Would that be in the

256
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: mix for a very solid play? Just a cross court pass?

257
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: Reveal kids or two sets for me?

258
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 5: Yes, But I don't know how you would take that,

259
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 5: speek tee, because you know the thing is, having watched

260
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 5: so many of them, he does that quite a lot,

261
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 5: that pass where he is sort of there, he's posting up,

262
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 5: and then on the weak side, you sees someone in

263
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 5: the corner and he just hits that guy right in

264
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 5: the pocket. And again, I think that's an advantage at

265
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 5: his size that he can sort of see over the

266
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 5: defenders like that, but still to make it and to

267
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 5: nail it, to get that guy the ball in his

268
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: spot is incredible.

269
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: And then in double.

270
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Overtime, having played forty plus minutes being a giant dude,

271
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: every single possession is going through him. He's doubled in

272
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: that one and to the point where he's like, he's

273
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: like directing traffic too, right, because he calls Gordon like

274
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: he basically calls him through. You're like, okay, come on

275
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: through and then he knows he's just thinking ahead, Okay,

276
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna skip this over to Michael Pertin. It's it's

277
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: it's amazing, and what a show of tasks. I mean

278
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: really like Lillard deservedly so getting a lot of the

279
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: headlines with fifty five. I mean, that is not many

280
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: guys in NBA history have scored fifty five in a

281
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: playoff game. It's it's very few. But then to have

282
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Jokic the MVP, going from basically a forty you know,

283
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: thirty eight in the end, like that double overtime, when

284
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: those two were the guys like trading baskets and like

285
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: nobody else was scoring at that point. It was awesome.

286
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

287
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: It seems like decades ago where people were questioning Nicola

288
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: Jokic and just his drive and his passion, I mean,

289
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: the guts that he has to not only make that pass,

290
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: but they had to inbound so many frickin' times after

291
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard was hitting shot after shot after shot, and

292
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: Nicola Jokic was the guy taking it out a lot

293
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: of the time, and he would just chuck it in

294
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: the back court. It's just a freaking risky, you know,

295
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: it could be run down by a Blazer for layup,

296
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: but he had the guts to throw it to Monte

297
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Morris every time, like he's just on the playground, like

298
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: I don't give a you know, this is going to

299
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: the guy that I'm passing it to. And it worked

300
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: out every time because he was a freaking amazing So yeah,

301
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: it was a very different experience watching either way. Dame

302
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: just getting the ball at the three point line and

303
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: banging at home and then Jokic on the other side

304
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: just doing everything he needed to do, and you could

305
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: see he was gassed at some points everybody running at

306
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: him with the double team and some possessions were kind

307
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: of ugly, and I think Michael Malone, you know, would

308
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: be getting killed if if they lost this game, Like,

309
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: you know, Montey Morris misses a layup at the end

310
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: of the first overtime after having a phenomenal game. Monty

311
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: Morris a freaking hero. He had twenty eight points. He

312
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: was their second leading score, you know, besides jokych and Porter.

313
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: Without him, they obviously lose, but he could have sealed

314
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: the game with the layup and then to fight back

315
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: after that point, I thought, okay, I mean, that's great,

316
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: first overtime you fight back Nuggets, but then what a

317
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: deflating layup miss. But you know, Robert Covington gave it

318
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: back with a couple of misses on his hand and

319
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: then Yeah, the question I guess is was coming out

320
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: of everybody's mouth was why don't you intentionally foul Michael

321
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: Blowan just foul Damian Lillard somewhere on the floor and.

322
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: Could you not?

323
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: Though? How could you not? Now I'm happy he did it.

324
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: I saw that tweet. You're right, task Like, the last

325
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: thing we'd actually want is we wouldn't have any of

326
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: these amazing Lillard shots if we just had the foul

327
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: the foul game there in the free throw.

328
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: How could anybody want that other than Nuggets fans, Like, yeah,

329
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: everybody else in the world. You just got to watch

330
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard do it over and over and over again.

331
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean, ban the intentional foul. I hate it. I

332
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: hate the intentional foul. I get like the one at

333
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: the end of regulation where he didn't where they ended

334
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: up going away from Austin Rivers after the foul because

335
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: he had five fouls, so they throw Michael Porter Junior

336
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: on him, which is crazy. Michael Porter Junior can stay

337
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: on the floor last year because of his defense. Then

338
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: he's out there on the perimeter and he should have

339
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: guarded him, Tater, he should have. It was like he

340
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: was guarding him in the first quarter, keeping him away

341
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: from the lean he has to shoot a three. Yeah,

342
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: but I get not fouling him there because you know

343
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: he could come up and especially a kind of a

344
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: lanky guy like Michael Porter Junior, he could foul him.

345
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: It could be a four point player. That could be game.

346
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 5: So I get alone said, you know he's an atriu. Yeah,

347
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 5: I mean there's there's a risk either way there of course,

348
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 5: you know, like if you foul him and he does

349
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 5: miss one of the free throws and it works, but

350
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 5: if you foul him and he hits a three and

351
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: makes it a four point play, then people will kill

352
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: him either way. But yeah, it's I'm glad they didn't anyway.

353
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 5: I'm just glad because we get to just see another

354
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 5: ridiculous damian little playoff shot, just wild wild stuff. But yeah,

355
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 5: I mean it's it's it's a poison pen there for

356
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 5: Michael Loan because it's like everyone's like, you've got a

357
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 5: fail you've got a fair, you've got a fail. But

358
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: you know he chose not to, and I respect that

359
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: was a decision he made in the end.

360
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: Hold on, he's choosing not to foul the guy who

361
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: has proven I don't know, in this game alone three

362
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: or four times and then in other series three or

363
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: four times in his history, he might be the most

364
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: clutch three point shooter. I'm sure, like right there with Curry,

365
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: but maybe even horror because he's got like the instances

366
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: where he's actually come through an ended series on game

367
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: winning buzzer beaters. That would be the one guy to

368
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: do it.

369
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: The end of the first overtime, I.

370
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: Had a chance he was inside the three point line.

371
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: That's exactly when you need to foul him. There's no

372
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: doubt about it.

373
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: He is very lucky. Mike Malone is that they of

374
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: course they pulled this out. I mean he said, we

375
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: won and lost this game so many times before ultimately

376
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: winning it. Spot on. But there were other things too,

377
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: tasks like I thought the Blazers were gonna win this

378
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: because there was a bunch of weird unforced errors by

379
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, like down the stretch. Remember Millsap missed like

380
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: a Bunny inside.

381
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: Dunket, buddy, what are you doing?

382
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like the little ast short as Bunny, he just misses,

383
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: should have dunked, like Trace said, they had a brutal turnover.

384
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: I believe it was Aaron Gordon. He just couldn't make

385
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: an entry pass into Jokic like slopy, like, come on,

386
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: what are you doing? He missed some free throws league

387
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Gordon did. And then of course all these decisions not

388
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: to foul by Malone and the Nuggets, but whatever, I mean,

389
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: they pulled it out in the end, and Morris was huge,

390
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Rivers was huge, and Michael Porter Junior was a massive

391
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: there with that three pointer in the corner. All because

392
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: of everything goes through Jokic. I want to see Yokic

393
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: play football. I want to see Yoki play cornhole. Like

394
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: the touch that this guy has to put like that,

395
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: He's just knows the lob factor right. Just maybe it's

396
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: the water polo skills that he picked up along the way.

397
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, God, make him a quarterback, like put

398
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: him in the CFL. I just like, give him a

399
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: summer in the CFL, see what.

400
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: He can do.

401
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: Maybe he could get his next Randy Johnson a seven

402
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 4: footer on the mound, just twirling up there, shrinking fear

403
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: in the hearts of all the batters. It's amazing, man.

404
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: The guy can manipulate. He manipulates the court from the

405
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: post the way most guards do in the pick and roll.

406
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 4: And that's the incredible thing is that he's able to

407
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: guide people to the right places and his teammate know

408
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: the right places to cut so that Jokic can get

409
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: a good shot for his team pretty much every single possession.

410
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to win. I'll give you the stats here.

411
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: Teams in Denver's position in a best of seven series,

412
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: so they hold home court advantage, and they're up three too,

413
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: entering a road Game six have won the series ninety

414
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: percent of the time, quite high, including fifty one percent

415
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: in Game six on the road. So they'll play on Thursday.

416
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I believe in Portland. What's your gut, say, Lee? You

417
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: know the did the Blazers really blow this one in

418
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: the sense that nobody could help out Dame just enough

419
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: to get this Game five victory and they might falter

420
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: here in game six? And who knows what Yokich has

421
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: in store or does this still scream seven to you?

422
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: Zaza's going to be screaming to us on Friday morning.

423
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure about it, yeah.

424
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 5: Baby, Okay, I just I feel that those guys for

425
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 5: the Blazers are like, man, we can't let Dame down again,

426
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 5: certainly at home. You know what Lila's gonna do. It's

427
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: been a great series. It's been a tight series. I

428
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: can't see the Blazers losing at home in Game six

429
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 5: to end this series. I think we've got a Game

430
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: seven coming up.

431
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's hope. So what do you think tasks

432
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: same thing? Can Denver? Obviously these teams are close and

433
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: at times there's not a lot of defense, and uh,

434
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: it is sort of like who's just uh, who catches fire?

435
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: Who's hot? Especially from three in most games in the

436
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: playoffs with all with both teams like, Denver could win this.

437
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: But do you think it goes back to uh, to altitude,

438
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: back up the mountains.

439
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, back on the Altitude Network for sure. Yeah. Actually,

440
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: the Nuggets broadcasters were getting a little spicy with each other.

441
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 2: I was watching this on the Nuggets badcast. Chris Marlow

442
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: and Scott Hastings were just getting a little testy with

443
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: each other. I guess a long season it was a

444
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: long game, definitely a long game. They're just like, you

445
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: gotta foul, and so I was like, you know, he's

446
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: just hitting shots from everywhere, but what but look at him?

447
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 4: Block at him there?

448
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to foul.

449
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 4: They're bringing Shaquille Harrison out.

450
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: He doesn't know he's garning him. They're getting mad at

451
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: each other.

452
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: I get it.

453
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: But I think they go back to Portland and Portland,

454
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: I guess the bench comes through. Like we're kind of

455
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: we have so many things to talk about, we're skipping

456
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: over Carmelo Anthony's game off the bench. He was just bad.

457
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: He just couldn't get a handle on the ball. He

458
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: had a couple a couple of bad turnovers there. So

459
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: I think I think the Nuggets bench will come through

460
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: at home. They got seriously outplayed. Did I say the

461
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: Blazer The Blazer's bench will will come through at home?

462
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: Nuggets bench outplay them big times. So I think that'll happen,

463
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: And let's just let's just hope that if the good

464
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: game wherever it's being played, whether it's on NBA TV,

465
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: whether it's on Altitude TV, just put it on the

466
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: big network, Like stop showing US Lakers Suns.

467
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Stop it, just stop it.

468
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: Put the other game on a lot of people in

469
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 4: Denver couldn't even watch that game. It's honestly a disaster.

470
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 4: The best game of the Playoffs so far, and you

471
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 4: had to have NBA TV to watch it. Basically, if

472
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 4: you're in Denver. Not great. I'll take the Nuggets though,

473
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 4: in Game six, I think this one's over.

474
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, why do you say that? Just another Yokic performance here.

475
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: Every game is the same, it feels like to me,

476
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: maybe the role players are different, but there's no stopping

477
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 4: Yokic at this point. He had a bad game four,

478
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: no doubt about it, but he came back in just

479
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 4: put the team on his back and said, we're not

480
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 4: going to lose this game, despite the fact there's a

481
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: guy over there scoring fifty five, hitting every single shot.

482
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: He takes special season for me, for the Nuggets. And

483
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, I just it's hard to bounce back

484
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: from losing a fifty five point game in doublet after

485
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 4: a huge comeback. That's just got to be a blow

486
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 4: for the Blazers. And I don't know. I'll just roll

487
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: with the Nuggets in Game six here.

488
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: All right, all right, we will see that's on Thursday night.

489
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Before we move on from this game, Lee, at the

490
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: last minute here this morning says I was taking a

491
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: dumpe guys, and I thought a great top five list.

492
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: So let's get to the lee'st top five.

493
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: Top five, top five, top five, top by top five

494
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: top five.

495
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm not lying, am I?

496
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: Lee?

497
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: You said you were on the can when this hit

498
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: you this morning.

499
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah it did, because you know, rewatching this one

500
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 5: this morning, I mean, you look at it. You just

501
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: feel bad for a little but you would have also

502
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: felt bad for the Nuggets if they'd lost it as well,

503
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: because these two teams are very likable, I think.

504
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, it.

505
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: Got me thinking about some incredible performances by players in

506
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 5: losses in the playoffs. So I came up with a

507
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 5: pretty quick top five here, just straight off the dome.

508
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 5: But I put a little bit. I had to go

509
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 5: and get off you fast after thrown in the dome. Okay,

510
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 5: At number five, Game seven of the East Semis in

511
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty eight, great battle between Dominic Wilkins and Larry Bird.

512
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 5: Classic Jewel Hawks actually led this series three too, had

513
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 5: a chance to close it out in Atlanta, but couldn't

514
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 5: do it. Lost Game six by two points, and then

515
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 5: Game seven at the Garden lived up to the hype.

516
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: Nik finished with forty seven points, sixteen in the fourth,

517
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 5: but the Hawks come up short by two points. Now

518
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 5: that's one of those ones we often see that replayed

519
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 5: again because it's just their classic Game seven moment Nik

520
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 5: versus bird Hawks. You know, should have won, just couldn't

521
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 5: quite get it done in Boston. But yeah, if you

522
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: get a chance, just go and watch that fourth quarter

523
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: seeing Larry goes for twenty himself in that four fourth quarter,

524
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 5: Kniek hit sixteen and it comes down to free throws.

525
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 5: Actually Nick misses one on purpose to try to get

526
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 5: a possession.

527
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: Couldn't do it.

528
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 5: So that was number five, Number four, Game six of

529
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 5: the West Semis. In nineteen eighty seven, the Houston Rockets,

530
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 5: who had made the finals the season before, had home

531
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 5: court advantage against the SuperSonics.

532
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 3: Down three to.

533
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 5: Two in the series, the games in Seattle must win

534
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 5: for the Rockets. Chem Elija one forty nine points, twenty

535
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 5: five rebounds, six locks in a game in a game

536
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: that also went to double overtime, but they came up short,

537
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: so they got eliminated on the back of that huge

538
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 5: performance there from mckem Elija one and a tough end

539
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: to their season because they had big dreams on going

540
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 5: back to the finals.

541
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: Couldn't do it at number three.

542
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 5: You guys, everyone remembers this one, of course, Game one

543
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 5: of the twenty eighteen finals Lebron fifty one, eight and eight.

544
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 5: But this game is most famous, of course, because the

545
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 5: Cleveland Cavaliers have possession with four seconds to go.

546
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: Jr.

547
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 5: Smith grabbed an offensive rebound on a free throw miss

548
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 5: from Georgia. Were absolutely clunker, by the way, and what

549
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: does Jr. Smith do?

550
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: He dribbles out the clock to ensure.

551
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: Over time and smart even overtime.

552
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: The Cavs get well, they lose by double digits in overtime,

553
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: and of course we get that great meme, the classic

554
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 5: Lebron meme. He's pointing at j R. Smith and man

555
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 5: fifty one, eight and eighth and nothing. They end up

556
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 5: getting swept as well. Just wonder how maybe that series

557
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 5: is different if the catch somehow win Game one.

558
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: But isn't. The rumor too, is that the game where

559
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: Lebron reportedly punches a wall a door and then maybe

560
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: hurts his hand breaks us out. Whatever it is, he's

561
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: got the cast on letter. Yeah, that's that.

562
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

563
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 5: I think from what I remembers were that those other

564
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 5: three games weren't all that close. So yeah, a bit

565
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: of a tough one At number two. One of my

566
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: favorite games of all time, Game six of the nineteen

567
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 5: to eighty eight Finals. The Pistons lead the Lakers three

568
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 5: to down at halftime. In the third quarter, Isaiah Thomas

569
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 5: comes out scores fourteen points before who rolls his ankle.

570
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 5: Famous scene again where he goes down he's clutching away.

571
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 5: He goes to the locker room, comes back, hobbles around

572
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 5: the court, drops another eleven points, finishes at twenty five

573
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 5: in the third quarter, forty three for the game, along

574
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 5: with eight assists and six steals. The Pistons come back

575
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: and lose the game on some serious home cook and

576
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 5: refereeing there. Kareem abdul Jabar gets a wild call, gets

577
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 5: the free throwler that knocks it in. The Pistons go

578
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: on to lose that game by a point. Isaiah in

579
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 5: game seven, he tries to give it a go. He

580
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 5: plays twenty eight minutes, but he's barely able to go

581
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 5: in the second half, and the Pistons still nearly come

582
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 5: back and win that game, but they lose Game six,

583
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 5: and then they lose Game seven and the Lakers repeat that.

584
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 5: Isaiah devastated the season before, of course, as he had

585
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: the steal Larry Bird steel in the Boston Gun where

586
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 5: they should have.

587
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 3: Won that game.

588
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 5: So Isaiah, man, that was tough, but what a performance

589
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 5: by him. There's some incredible shot making when he's only

590
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 5: got one leg there.

591
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: But I think still, I actually, I gotta be honest,

592
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: I always thought that came will win that game twenty

593
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: five from Isac in the fourth quarter.

594
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 5: Well on no, third quarter? Yeah, third quarter, excuse me, y, Yeah,

595
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 5: came and a loss there. But again yeah, look at

596
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 5: watch the refereeing.

597
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 3: In that game. End Game seven.

598
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 5: Now it's yeah, some lucky gulls go the way the Lakers.

599
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 5: But anyway, I the most famous performance I think still

600
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 5: it's still a record a double overtime game as well.

601
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 5: I think people probably know it. It's Michael's sixty three

602
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 5: points in the Boston Garden, twenty two for forty one

603
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 5: from the field, nineteen for twenty one from the line.

604
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 5: Didn't attempt to three that game, and the Bulls only

605
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 5: attempt to two themselves. Just an incredible game. Well, the

606
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 5: actual performance, well, the game itself moves along a bit slow.

607
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's so overrated, the actual game. Yeah,

608
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: if they show it all the time. Of course on

609
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: MT it is, it's a it's a tough watch. Yeah,

610
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: it's not a lot of flow to that one.

611
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 5: I think the most famous play still is when Jordan

612
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 5: basically just like Cooks, Larry Bird dribbles with twenty his legs,

613
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: hits that step back and so gorgeous, gorgeous shot, and

614
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: after the game Larry Bird quotes is saying that you

615
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 5: know that was just God as Michael Jordan out there.

616
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 5: So yeah, the Celtics win that game. Jordan still holds

617
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 5: the record too for sixty three points in a game.

618
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 5: And you said earlier, Skeetze about people who have scored

619
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: fifty five in a game, not that many, not that many,

620
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 5: Elgin Baylor, I'll just run through Charles Barkley, wilk Chanmblin

621
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 5: and Lilded there last night obviously, Allen Iverson actually two

622
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 5: and Rick Barry, a guy scored fifty seven in the

623
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 5: bubble in the playoffs.

624
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: Life Mitchell, Yeah done, Mitchell yeah. Yeah, So there you go.

625
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: There's a little quick top five.

626
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: After your thumb's on the toilet, man, you take that.

627
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: I like to picture him sitting on the toilet door old,

628
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: but it comes into his mind, Oh this would be

629
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: a good time, Roxy, Roxy, can.

630
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: You grab a pun a pen? Crazy thinking that Lee

631
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 4: even wrote this down. These are four games from the

632
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 4: nineteen eighties and the game from three years ago. These

633
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: are like locked in his brain. Easily he could have

634
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 4: had on the toilet as long as Skeet says, and

635
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: he could have got.

636
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: Well.

637
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 5: Certainly the Jordan and the Isaiah one sort of popped

638
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 5: into the dome and then I was like, hmmm, something there,

639
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 5: there's something there.

640
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: Sure, I remember a.

641
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 5: Large one had some months in the games. I didn't

642
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 5: remember that one came in and lost that month one.

643
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 5: But I was like, yes, there's one for me, so perfect.

644
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: I love it.

645
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: A great time, fively good stuff. Let's keep it going here.

646
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: We do have some big Celtics news. We'll get to

647
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: that in a second. Let's still focus on the games,

648
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to the net Celtics game. And

649
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure we could start talking about the big news

650
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: that's dropping here. While we're doing the show. But we

651
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: did have the Suns dismantling the Lakers one fifteen to

652
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: eighty five, not a typo to take the three two

653
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: series lead. Last night, crazy crazy stuff. It was sort

654
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: of over in a hurry, Lee, get get us start.

655
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: What's your big takeaway? No, obviously no Anthony Davis for

656
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and they could have used the last night,

657
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: I guess.

658
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, shocking to see how early this one was over.

659
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 5: You know, the Suns really did destroy them. But the

660
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: big question, of course, is going to be Chris Paul's

661
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 5: health because he took another knock there to that shoulder

662
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 5: in the third quarter and didn't come back. Now, the

663
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 5: team the game was pretty much in hand as well,

664
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 5: so you're hoping that was more that there was, like

665
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 5: there's no point in running him out there, But the

666
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 5: way that he clutched at that shoulder again, like because

667
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 5: it was the same sort of play well similar at

668
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 5: he caused that Chris well, okay, it.

669
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter if he did or not.

670
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's sure.

671
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: I really feel bad for him on this one because

672
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: it's like you can see he looks back, he wants

673
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: to figure out where Wesley Matthews is like on the

674
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: rebound situation and then in classic Chris Paul for him,

675
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: he's sort of like, well, I'm just going to create

676
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of contact here. It was like, why, man,

677
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: you're up thirty three points? First off, why are you

678
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: even playing? Probably you're right, but then you're out there like,

679
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I almost thought there was a bit

680
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: of an acting job going on with this one with

681
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. I hope he's not severely injured, and I

682
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: think he's going to play in the next game, but

683
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: like that was on him. In my opinion, there.

684
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 5: Was well that's that's certainly the weird way Chris Paul does.

685
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 5: Like yeah, so okay, maybe we can't blame it him.

686
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 5: But whether or not he plays now he's the big

687
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 5: question because I think Anthony Davis absolutely plays in game

688
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 5: six no matter what now, because I think this was

689
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 5: the one they've tried to rest him and hope he'd

690
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 5: be okay. Whether or not he's healthy is a different story,

691
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 5: but that's really could be what it comes down to.

692
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: If Anthony Davis can play, and if Chris Paul can't play,

693
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 5: then it's going to be tough to see it not

694
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 5: going at least seven games. But full credit here to

695
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 5: the Phoenix Suns for hanging in there, because I think

696
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 5: we all well I certainly did. When Chris Paul went

697
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 5: down and they were down two to one in La,

698
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 5: I thought this is over. This is There's no question

699
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 5: the Lakers. There's just too much experience. And Lebron's out there.

700
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: He's going to carry this series home. And he had

701
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 5: a good game there in the third quarter last night,

702
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 5: but he was not happy in the fourth quarter. And

703
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 5: the Sons, I mean, the Sons destroyed them, absolutely destroyed them,

704
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 5: and you can't really take anything away from that, even

705
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 5: though Anthony Davis wasn't playing. So this is a fascinating series. Man,

706
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 5: does it go seven?

707
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: Now?

708
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 5: I mean, the see a Lebron in the game seven?

709
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 5: Would anyone pick against him after what we saw in

710
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 5: Game five?

711
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: I mean maybe, I don't know.

712
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: I don't know.

713
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: This is a wild series.

714
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 5: But I hope Chris Paul can play because if he

715
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 5: can't play, I just would feel bad to the Sons

716
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 5: because again, he only had I think nine points and

717
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 5: six assists last night, but he just looked better. That

718
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 5: shot was there, he was passing the ball he was

719
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 5: moving around with confidence. So if he's done something to

720
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 5: self inflict an injury on himself to reinjure it, then

721
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 5: that's pretty.

722
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: Dumb of him. But we'll see. There's only two days

723
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: as well.

724
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 5: It's only it's a Thursday night the game, so he

725
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 5: hasn't got a lot of time here to rest and recover.

726
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, one win. The Sons are from becoming the first

727
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: team in fifteen tries to send Lebron packing in the

728
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: first round? TK. Can they do this? That was awesome.

729
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Booker was amazing, campaign was incredible, You couldn't miss and

730
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: they like they were up thirty at the half. It

731
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: was over in a hurry.

732
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've already the Sons already have a nice feather

733
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 4: in their cap. This is the first time Lebron has

734
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: lost consecutive first round playoff games. Now they got him

735
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 4: on the brink of losing his first first round series.

736
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 4: Interesting stuff that feel out game one that could end

737
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 4: up costing the Lakers here. You can't just give away

738
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: games in the play especially against the good team like

739
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: the Suns. But I thought Booker was great last night,

740
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: really slammed the door, came out I think eighteen points

741
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: in the first quarter. He was looking to get cooking

742
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: pretty quickly, getting into the offense quickly, and the Lakers

743
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: just looked a step slow. They got out to that

744
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 4: big lead, and then they played the Sun's very good defense.

745
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: I thought, just clogging the lane, just putting bodies in

746
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 4: the lane so that every time Lebron was driving in

747
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 4: there there was so much traffic he had to wrap

748
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: passes around guys. There were a lot of shot attempts

749
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 4: he took that just looked awkward for Lebron where he's

750
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 4: like kind of falling away from the hoop trying to

751
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 4: spin it up. Obviously the guy can make him, but

752
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: just not the strong finishes were always expecting from Lebron.

753
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 4: He just he said after the game, we got our

754
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 4: asses kicked. That's exactly what happened. Twenty four points on

755
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: nineteen shots. That's not good enough for Lebron in a

756
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: game like this. He's got an elimination game coming up next.

757
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 4: He's got to have a forty, especially if you're getting

758
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 4: nothing from Dennis shrewder Oh for nine last night, no points,

759
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 4: and he's having trouble figuring out how the Suns are

760
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 4: guarded him because they're ready for him to take a shot.

761
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 4: They're like, Okay, take a jumper. He doesn't want to.

762
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 4: But that's part of the reason that the Suns are

763
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 4: able to hang out in the paint make things tough

764
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: for Lebron. They're gonna need Anthony Davis back for Game six,

765
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: and that's kind of a scary thing to think when

766
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: you saw some of the pregame footage of Anthony Davis

767
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 4: walking around looking like he was Charles Barkley out there.

768
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 4: Guy was moving slow. I don't know how much better

769
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: he gets in a couple of days, but they need

770
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: something from him.

771
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, tass, what was your big takeaway from this dominant

772
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: Sun's victory.

773
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know, my first inclination is to talk about

774
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: Lebron because he is Lebron, and I will never bet

775
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: against him losing a series until it actually happens, because

776
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: he's earned that for sure. But Phoenix won this game.

777
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: LA didn't lose this game. Phoenix just simply kicked their ass.

778
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: Like Lebron said, They came out on fire and made

779
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers do what they wanted, and so that was

780
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: them imposing their will. Now I'm still taking the Lakers

781
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: in Game six with Anthony Davis. I know it's nuts,

782
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna bet against Lebron even though he's

783
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: never been down three to two in a series in

784
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: the first round, and this is this is looking like, yeah,

785
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: a bit like you know, the twenty nineteen finals where

786
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: they don't have a guy. The Warriors didn't have Kevin Durant.

787
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: They don't have Anthony Davis if he's not healthy. But

788
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: I still, even though the Lakers looked terrible, I'm not

789
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: betting against them because you know, the Suns looked obviously,

790
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: they look great. Devin Booker, to me, looked like he

791
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: took on the stonefaced persona of Lebron James that we

792
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: were all expecting. He was just he wasn't joking coming

793
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: out of the gate. And you know Chris Paul or

794
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: not Chris Paul. Yeah, falls on a box out and

795
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: that's a box out. It happens. He got mad. But

796
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: I you know, I love the bassion of the Sun

797
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 2: steam man. They they they got performances from everybody. They

798
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 2: know what they're doing. Yeah, Lebron obviously needed Dennis Shrewder

799
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: to come through. I'm not sure what's going on with

800
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: Dennis Shrewder.

801
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: Tray's right.

802
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: I mean they have they have a guy in the

803
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 2: lane there he has to shoot over. And usually when

804
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 2: you see Denis Ruder get it going, you know, he

805
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: had this defense beveside the side and he gets a

806
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: lay up because the defenses is concentrating on other guys.

807
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: But Denis shuld have turned down four for eighty four

808
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: a couple months ago, and he's just got to be better.

809
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: He can't go over after turning down four for eighty four.

810
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: They I mean, they just got their asses handed to them.

811
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: And it was just it was so so strange to

812
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: see Lebron not go to the free throw line once

813
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: in this game. But I think they bounced back in

814
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: game six, just just just because simply, you know, Lebron

815
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: will get help. Anthony Davis has to take the floor

816
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: in game six?

817
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: What about mantras Herald? Will Vogel do something crazy and

818
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: like start him, give him more minutes, like for some energy,

819
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: Maybe they start like normal. I mean, this is the

820
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: idea that eighty's playing, and we don't know that for sure.

821
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: He may not. Like Trey said, it didn't look great

822
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: him walking around. Could that be an option? Like would

823
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: that be vogue panicking. Do you try that at this point?

824
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: Lee?

825
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta win and some energy would would help. Like, look,

826
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: all the Lakers guards were garbage last night, all of them.

827
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we can pile on Truder, he

828
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: was horrible. Cacp's also injured. He played what fifteen minutes?

829
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: He didn't do much of anything. Carusoe was mission shots,

830
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: Wesley Matthews missing shots? Who the hell else? Awdre forgetting

831
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: there's another Lakers guard in the miss Maclamo mac lamoriah

832
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: he got into some burn. Yeah, so nobody played well,

833
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: especially on the perimeter. But could that be an optionally

834
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: from Vogel there with mantros hurl or is that insane?

835
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 5: No, it's an option because whatever Montrez gives you back

836
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: on the defensive end, and that's really where he gets

837
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 5: exposed a lot. On the offensive end. He's hustled, he's

838
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 5: hard work. He can just energize the team, and especially

839
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 5: for a guy who's not happy about his role at

840
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 5: the moment as well, he can either pout or he

841
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 5: can say, listen, this is why I should be out there.

842
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 5: Because he does have that ability to get tip ins

843
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 5: and put backs and dunk and just you know, bring

844
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 5: some life to a team that really is struggling to

845
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 5: find and general offense. He's not gonna he's not gonna

846
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 5: hit the three, he's not gonna shoot in that, but

847
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 5: he is going to get tip ends. He's going to

848
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: contest those rebounds. And that's kind of what they need.

849
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 5: They have to increase their competitiveness. You know, that's something

850
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 5: that Greg Popovich talks about with his teams. That's where

851
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 5: I think the Lakers right now are just struggling a

852
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 5: little bit. They don't seem to have that same fight.

853
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 5: They certainly didn't have it last night. Because if you're dropping,

854
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 5: if you're down thirty in the first half, there's clearly

855
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 5: something wrong with your mental approach to the game. So

856
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 5: and yeah, I mean, if you're Frank Vogel, you have

857
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 5: to try something. And especially if Anthony Davis isn't it,

858
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 5: I mean I would certainly start him over Marcus Sohl.

859
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 5: I mean, Marcus Ohl can spread the floor. He's a

860
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 5: different type of big man. But I think that's the

861
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 5: thing with Trez is he gives you some life out there,

862
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 5: even if it's only for four or five minutes. And

863
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 5: you know, and he doesn't get lit up on the

864
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 5: defensive end. That could be just something that gets the

865
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 5: Lakers going. And you know, because the Sons have never

866
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 5: been in this situation of course, where they have a

867
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 5: chance to close out a game. And even though some

868
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 5: of those Lakers haven't either, they still have Lebron, they

869
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 5: still have home. So I think the Lakers deserve to

870
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 5: be favorite going into that game, and you know, put

871
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 5: the Suns under pressure early on. They don't want to

872
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 5: be having to chase the Suns around. That wouldn't be

873
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 5: a great situation. But yeah, I mean, frank Fogel's been

874
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 5: He's having some angry people tweet at him too in

875
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 5: a Twitter, which is I mean, that's what happens though,

876
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 5: That's what happens when when you coaching the.

877
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: Lakers, was up all night reading all the tweets people.

878
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 5: Probably probably, but you know, look, when you coach the

879
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 5: Lakers and people think, as well, you should just sort

880
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: of stroll past that first round, you know you're going

881
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 5: to you're gonna get in line for some fire there.

882
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 5: And Frankie's probably feeling a little bit though, which is

883
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 5: so silly.

884
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean, did think that because this is a two

885
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: to seven matchup but it's not the Lakers as the

886
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: two seed, you know, it is the Sons who had

887
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: a really good regular season. I mean a lot of

888
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: us here I thought this would go along, and most

889
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: of us I think oli us still took the Lakers.

890
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: I had Lakers and seven. It's still in play, of course,

891
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: but Jesus, this is a scrappy Suns bunch and they

892
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: had an awesome nate in Phoenix in terms of basketball,

893
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: not only Devin Booker and his squad kicking the snider

894
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: of the Laker. Did you see the Phoenix Mercury's Kia

895
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: Nurse hitting like a three foot buzzer beating bomb in

896
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: the w NBA like a eurostep too. Wasn't that a

897
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: shot that was at the buzzer? So good night for

898
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: Phoenix basketball. Unbelievable shot. If you haven't seen that clip,

899
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: go fire up that one on your Twitter. And maybe

900
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: Vogel was just looking at that on Twitter all night. Wow,

901
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: that's a nice shot from kea Nurse Canadian by the

902
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: way home or okay, also from this game, before we

903
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: get to the Celtics nets and the big news with Boston,

904
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: we had Weggie guys and then will our first Weggie

905
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: of the postseason each one more late in this one.

906
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was blowout, but there it is. He

907
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: stuck the three point Weggie from the wing. It was good.

908
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: We had Harlan dropping our as a choral impersonation, but

909
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: it was a good Harlan call. Just said Weggie. That

910
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: was it. But there it is fifty five. As we

911
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: continue to set a record breaking season for Weggies.

912
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 5: Even Holland and Grant Hill wanted to watch the Nuggets

913
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 5: and Blazes. Guy, yeah, switch over to that one. Yeah, yeah,

914
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 5: Maybe be a right day test. Maybe they should just say,

915
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 5: you know what, we're out of this game. We're just

916
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 5: gonna bump the other one on.

917
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 3: Just show it.

918
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: We can all sit at home and choose what game

919
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: we watch. Let's jump into the twenty first entry. Just

920
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: put it on the TV.

921
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: Put it on.

922
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what network it's on. I get the

923
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: NBA TV thing that's dumb, but even on TNT. Just

924
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: show the better game and maybe we can jump back

925
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 2: to the Lakers Suns when it's a twenty point game.

926
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: You know, if they think they looks like they're coming back.

927
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: Of course, everybody wanted to watch that game.

928
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 4: Grant he'll throw tbs in the minn for sure. Why

929
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 4: don't they ever get any games? They only get games

930
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 4: during March madness. Obviously they've got the programming, but I

931
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 4: don't know what's a what's a show that's on TVs?

932
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: And Practical Jokers twin come on four.

933
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 4: Hours a day. We can take them off for three

934
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 4: hours to watch a basketball game.

935
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. I saw Zilla wrote this morning

936
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: that there was a fun experience watching the little ticker

937
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: up in the corner of the screen where Phoenix's lead

938
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: kept growing while we're watching Jokic versus Dame and you're like, well,

939
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: what's going on in this game? Not that you're flipping over,

940
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: because you're like, this is amazing what you're watching here

941
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: in Denver, but I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, Wow.

942
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 4: What's the score here?

943
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: By the time you got over there, I was like, oh,

944
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: this game's over. Unbelievable performance. All right, guys, let's take

945
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: a quick break to hear from our sponsors. All right,

946
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: let's go to one of the series that ended last night,

947
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: and that was the Celtics coming up short. Yeah, Nets

948
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: heading to the second round beat the Celtics one twenty

949
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: three one oh nine in Game five, and there's been

950
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: some fallout here with Boston. I was breaking here during

951
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: the show, but just quickly with the game, Celtics put

952
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: up a fight. I mean, no Jalen Brown, of course,

953
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: no Kemba Walker in this one, no Robert Williams. So

954
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: there's three of their starters, and they kept it somewhat close.

955
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: I guess ley they had it to within eight points.

956
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: I think it was with about eight minutes to go,

957
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: and that's when you know the Nets avalanche was triggered

958
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: because you had Durant hitting a three, then Tatum turned

959
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: it over and Kyrie hid another three, so now you're

960
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: up fourteen, you know, mere forty seconds fifty seconds later,

961
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: Phonia then scored, but then you had hard In answering

962
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: with a three, and then Bruce Brown scored inside and

963
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: just like that, you know, they ripped off an eleven

964
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: and two run in about ninety seconds and it's a

965
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: seventeen point lead, and it's over and now the Nets

966
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: move on. But the big news with Boston, and I

967
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 1: think you have the tweet, JD, because I accidentally put

968
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: it up while you were talking about Babbel. My bad.

969
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought I could just press on it so I

970
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: could read it, but uh oh yeah, I forgot Boston

971
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: head coach. Sorry about that, Jesus it, I'll remove it.

972
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: There we go. Coach Brad Stevens is planning to transition

973
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: from his current role into becoming the new head coach

974
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: of basketball operations of the Celtics. This is from Shampy

975
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: the Way with the Athletic Danny Ainge plans to resign

976
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: from his role as Celtics president. So wild stuff, You're

977
00:42:53,400 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: age out and Brad gonna be moving over into his position, Leleia. Shocking,

978
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: to say the least.

979
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 3: Very shocking.

980
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny Ainge has been there a long time, but

981
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 5: he's been taking a lot of criticism as well because

982
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 5: the Celtics, who have made the conference finals three of

983
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 5: the last four seasons, fell off this year. But obviously

984
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 5: in the playoffs here they've been without Javin Brown. But

985
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people were expecting much better

986
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 5: from Danny Ainge, considering the assets he's been able to

987
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 5: accumulate over the years. But they've got some serious problems

988
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 5: in the middle. They don't really have a center, like

989
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 5: I mean, they've got Rob Williams as okay, but they

990
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 5: let themselves down there and players like Gordon Hayward has

991
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 5: left left that team, you know, I mean he was

992
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 5: traded out but or what was it then the end

993
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 5: of sign and trade or no, he just opted out

994
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 5: of his contract in the end there. And Kyrie Irving

995
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 5: obviously he left as well. So they've had the players

996
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 5: come in, but they haven't been able to sort of

997
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 5: stick to them, and I guess Danny Ainge just decided

998
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 5: it was time to moving on. Interesting though, the Brad Stevens,

999
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm guessing he's not going to be the

1000
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 5: coach then based on this. Yeah, so he's going into

1001
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 5: that role, which is, you know, it's a completely different role,

1002
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 5: and you know, to take that over straight away, he's

1003
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 5: going to be difficult for him. But maybe he's been

1004
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 5: transitioning behind the scenes or something like this before it,

1005
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 5: who knows. So a bit of a shock there from

1006
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics. People are throwing out some names there

1007
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 5: for their who's going to be their coach, But I

1008
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 5: don't think we need to sort of go too deep

1009
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 5: into that right now. But it's a good team to

1010
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 5: go to because you've got Tatum and Brown they're still

1011
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 5: young players locked up, so you've got some great talent there.

1012
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 5: It's really what they're going to do with Kemba Walker

1013
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 5: that's the big problem, because he didn't play last night.

1014
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 5: He's been injured so much this season, in and.

1015
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: Out of the lineup. He's got a big contract. I

1016
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 3: think he's still got.

1017
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 5: Seventy million left on that deal, and that's really I'm

1018
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 5: not sure you can rely on Kemba Walker. Can you

1019
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 5: trade him at this point with that much on there? Possibly,

1020
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 5: But that's going to be the big job I think

1021
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 5: for Brad Stevens hiring a new coach and then getting

1022
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 5: a better backcourt help and getting some better help in

1023
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 5: the middle.

1024
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: What do you think tas well?

1025
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: Just from if you look at it simply, you would say, well,

1026
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens, that's a hack of a lot of responsibility

1027
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: to take on in the front office. But I imagine

1028
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: he's got a general manager who's going to be working

1029
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: beside him and maybe even making a lot of the

1030
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: decisions that has a ton of experience. And there's Mike

1031
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: zaren as an assistant GM in the Celtics front office,

1032
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: And in total transparency, I know Mike's Aaron knows the show.

1033
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: He may I'm not going to say he likes the show.

1034
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say he loves No Ducks, but

1035
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 2: he knows of No Ducks. So I'm going to cheer

1036
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 2: for Mike's Aaron to get a promotion and to be

1037
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 2: in that general manager position because obviously Brad Stevens needs

1038
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: somebody with a heck of a lot of knowledge in

1039
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 2: that spot. He can't just go from coaching the the

1040
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: Exes and o's to being in the front office. Obviously

1041
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 2: the Celtics know that. So, yeah, it hasn't worked out

1042
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 2: in terms of getting the superstar that they've always wanted.

1043
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 2: They keep going and they keep reaching and they and

1044
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: they find, Hey, they got Kyrie Riving for Isaiah Thomas.

1045
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: That was a heck of a trade, but that, you know,

1046
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: hasn't worked out. The Chempa thing hasn't worked out since then.

1047
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: Of course, it's a very appealing coaching job, very very

1048
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: appealing coaching job. But yeah, the Celtics and Brad Stevens

1049
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: and whoever else is in that front office, they're kind

1050
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: of starting from a square one in terms of all

1051
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: those assets. In terms of the draft picks, because the

1052
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: cupboard is now it's kind of beare. It's kind of,

1053
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 2: you know, back to square one. All those picks that

1054
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: that they acquired over the last decade or so, you know,

1055
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 2: since since they were the Celtics on top of the

1056
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: world and they traded Paul Pierce and and Kevin Garnett,

1057
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: those assets are gone. Now it's it's a new regime

1058
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 2: and it's yeah, quite interesting. I mean, Brad he could

1059
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: look tired now thinking about it. He looked tired on

1060
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 2: the sideline, you know, and he was praising the nets

1061
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: and and how great they were and people were getting

1062
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 2: on him for doing that. Yeah, I just wanted to

1063
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 2: do something new, I guess. And the Celtics have a

1064
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: lot of faith in him. So that's a big role. Though.

1065
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 2: It's a big role. The Celtics are should be and

1066
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: will be a playoff team for a long time. But

1067
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: they definitely disappointed the season. They had a lot going

1068
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 2: on in that locker room with a lot of guys

1069
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 2: in and out of the lineup. But yeah, an appealing

1070
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: situation for both the front office and on the bench.

1071
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: It's shocking, maybe Trey, just how quickly they've made this

1072
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: decision after losing last night. The season ended last night

1073
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: and suddenly, obviously Danny Ainge has gone and now Brad

1074
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: Stevens moving on and they'll need a new coach. It's like,

1075
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: how long was this in place? Is interesting to me.

1076
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: I guess like, has this been what was going to

1077
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: happen for weeks now, months now? Or was this all

1078
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: very sudden with Danny Ainge deciding and wants to Zion

1079
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: or whatever happens with him there in the organization? What

1080
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 1: do you think?

1081
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's piece it together here a little bit. Skeet's

1082
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 4: Woes has a tweet that says Brad Stevens has been

1083
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: described as worn down with coaching since the bubble and

1084
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 4: welcome the chance to make the transition to the front office.

1085
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 4: Kind of like what Tess was saying. It was like

1086
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 4: a little tired there on the bench and ready for

1087
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 4: a new challenge. Fair enough. Chris Haynes over at Yahoo

1088
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 4: Sports is reporting that Celtics players were informed last night

1089
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 4: that this move could be going down today. Obviously it

1090
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: did go down today, So oh, I don't know. It's

1091
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 4: been a strange season for the Celtics. They've had a

1092
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 4: nice run of success here. After the trade, the Paul Pierce,

1093
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 4: Kevin Garnett trade three conference finals in four years. A

1094
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 4: surprising season kind of last year, I would say, and

1095
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 4: for the first time it felt like this was the

1096
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 4: year they didn't respond to adversity, right, Like think back

1097
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 4: to when Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward were Celtics. Those

1098
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 4: guys went out with injuries, but the young guys stepped

1099
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 4: up and made humongous plays and humongous strides and the

1100
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 4: development was all there. There was a lot of injuries,

1101
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 4: a lot of time missed for the Celtics this year,

1102
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 4: but they weren't able to kind of make it up.

1103
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 4: You know, the chemistry wasn't there, the cohesion as a

1104
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 4: team wasn't there, and it just was odd to see

1105
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 4: from a Celtics team that we've seen recover time and

1106
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 4: time and time again and kind of outplay their expectations

1107
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 4: for the past four seasons, that was not the case

1108
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 4: this year. And obviously it just war on everybody. And

1109
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, at this point, you gotta think, yeah,

1110
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 4: they got you Jason Tatum out of all these trades,

1111
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 4: is that enough for all of these moves Danny Ainge

1112
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 4: was making in that huge asset trove that they had

1113
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 4: back in the day. You know, they brought in all

1114
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 4: NBA players and Kyrie Irving and Al Horford. They brought

1115
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 4: in Gordon Hayward. That was a huge signing. Obviously he

1116
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 4: got hurt right away, but he became an All Star again.

1117
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: I don't know, Danny Inges, feels like we've been talking

1118
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 4: four years. They got so close. There were always so

1119
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 4: many trades they could make. They never really made the trades,

1120
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 4: and they just kept getting very close, getting very close,

1121
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 4: falling a little bit short. And now they're moving on

1122
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 4: to another guy who's his a first time GM, despite

1123
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 4: the fact that yeah, he's gonna have help. Maybe it'll

1124
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 4: be Mike Zaren Brad Stevens has a huge job to

1125
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 4: do here, and things are gonna be tough because, like

1126
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 4: we're saying, Brown and Tatum, those guys are locked in. Yeah,

1127
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 4: who else is going to be around We don't know

1128
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 4: at this point.

1129
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, fascinating to see who gets to their coaching job

1130
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: here too. Who are some of the names? Come on, Lee,

1131
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: tease me being thrown around. I mean, the stream team

1132
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: basically throws out every name I saw, yet Jackson for

1133
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: crying out, I had a good laugh about that one.

1134
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: Shout out to Huski for that one, but who else

1135
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: that's maybe more realistic.

1136
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 5: Well, Chris Haynes was reporting that Lloyd Pierce and Jason

1137
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 5: Kidd are apparently in consideration. Ok, yeah, I guess yeah.

1138
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 5: I mean we know Jason Kidd certainly wants to coach again.

1139
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 5: He's made that very very clear, interesting sort of history.

1140
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 5: He's had two coaching jobs already in Brooklyn and Milwaukee,

1141
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 5: and neither ended all that well for him. Has clashed

1142
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 5: with the front office, so I'm not sure how well

1143
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 5: that will sort of carry over if he was to

1144
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 5: be considered and Lloyd Pierce obviously, Look, when Lloyd Pierce

1145
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 5: got fired, I was on record saying it was a

1146
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 5: bad move. I thought he was a good coach and

1147
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 5: deserved to at least see the season out.

1148
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 3: I have since been proven wrong.

1149
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 5: Nate McMillan has done a fantastic job, and I don't

1150
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 5: think the Hawks would be in this position if Lloyd

1151
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 5: Pierce was there. So I think this actually really hurts

1152
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 5: Lloyd Pierce's chances of getting another job, because it was

1153
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 5: like maybe he was holding back some of those younger players,

1154
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 5: so that might count against him. But he's also only

1155
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 5: had one head coaching position. He's a young guy and

1156
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 5: he's got some ideas, so maybe he just needs a

1157
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 5: new team in a new situation. But yeah, I'm sure

1158
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 5: there'll be plenty of other names thrown around because.

1159
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: I got an idea, especially after what he's gone through

1160
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days. What about Lucky the Laprekin.

1161
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: You know that'd be a nice like sort of olive

1162
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: branch after getting stepped on.

1163
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, he's a real man.

1164
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 5: There'll be no there'll be no shortage right quality candidates

1165
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 5: because it is. It is an attractive position there when

1166
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 5: you've got you've got certainly two studs, and you expect

1167
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 5: they'll probably be you know, I expect someone like Marcus Smart.

1168
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 5: Maybe we'll be moved on and if they can get someone,

1169
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 5: you know, another vet in return. It's still an enticing position.

1170
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 5: So I don't think the Celtics have to make a

1171
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 5: decision today or tomorrow on that front.

1172
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, you keep saying it's an enticing position, but

1173
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 4: their coach didn't want to coach him. That's the interesting

1174
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 4: thing to me. Brad Stevens locked up gonna still be

1175
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 4: a Celtic. He just decided I'm good on coaching, I mean,

1176
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 4: decide what to do.

1177
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 5: How long was he He must have been there six

1178
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 5: seasons at least, Brad, I mean a little bit yeah, yeah,

1179
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 5: you know, And maybe that's the thing. Maybe he just

1180
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 5: sort of got to the point where, look, Larry Bird

1181
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 5: said all the way back, he said, three years you

1182
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 5: get as a coach, and then your voice starts just

1183
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 5: sort of your players just start.

1184
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 3: Tuning you out.

1185
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 5: And maybe Brad Stevens felt that a bit as well,

1186
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 5: where he was like, the guys aren't listening to me anymore,

1187
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 5: you know, because Brad Stevens as well has had a

1188
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 5: good college reputation. But I think as well, sometimes you know,

1189
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 5: for guys who never played in the NBA, sometimes I

1190
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 5: think that can be a little bit difficult than now.

1191
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 5: There are exceptions, of course, Greg Popovich has had a

1192
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 5: fantastic coaching career, but I think sometimes Brad Stevens, he's, what,

1193
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 5: he's only thirty seven or thirty.

1194
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 3: Eight years old.

1195
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 5: He's pretty young, you know, maybe he doesn't quite command

1196
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 5: the same respect as some of those other guys who

1197
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 5: have played and have been around now. Lloyd Pierce never played,

1198
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 5: Jason Kidd did. He's a Hall of Famer, so you know,

1199
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 5: maybe that will help. Who knows, But you know, I

1200
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 5: think I think Larry Bird was right and what he

1201
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 5: said as well. I think sometimes after a while just

1202
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 5: it's like the same old thing. How many different ways

1203
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 5: can you motivate guys when you weren't winning championships in

1204
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 5: that time?

1205
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well the first year that, like Trey said, they

1206
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: didn't respond to adversity, Brad Stevens saw that he kind

1207
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 2: of lost the room. They weren't playing to the way

1208
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 2: he demanded it, so he took a step back. I

1209
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 2: do think it is an attractive position, you know, regardless

1210
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 2: of what one guy decides. Yeah, Brad Stevens, apparently it's

1211
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 2: forty four A wow, he's been there for a while.

1212
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: He looks twenty five.

1213
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight years, eight years, eight years, eight eight years.

1214
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, one one of the most longest tenured coaches. Right,

1215
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: it's like Spoll Pop Rick Carlisle. And is that it? Then?

1216
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: Maybe Brad Stevens forgetting anyone?

1217
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 2: Thanks got you r?

1218
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1219
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 5: Scott Scott Brooks, Well, it's only five years. I think

1220
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 5: he's been there, but I remember when he was in Okay. See,

1221
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 5: I think he had the record for most games coach

1222
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 5: one team to have not won a championship, So Brad

1223
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 5: Stevens must be up in that sort of territory for

1224
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 5: how long he's been coaching.

1225
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 2: Let's go top five longest tenured coaches here, we go

1226
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 2: play the music JD.

1227
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so we'll just wait to see who I

1228
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: guess Brad Stevens in the our front office of the

1229
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: Celtics now decide on who should coach this team with

1230
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown and whoever other pieces they run back

1231
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: next year. Wow, wild stuff here. Well, let's I guess

1232
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: we won't go like for a full on deep dive

1233
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: here into the Nets Bucks series. They're gonna play game one,

1234
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: the second round semifinals. It is on Saturday. Do we

1235
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: have a time for this one or that? Is that

1236
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: up in the air because you know we'll be figuring

1237
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: out the possible game sevens and stuff like that. Okay,

1238
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: so we don't know what time yet it's TVD but

1239
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: they're playing game one on Saturday. Everybody, of course super

1240
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: excited for this. We'll do our deep dive on Friday

1241
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: show to tee it up. But like just quickly tasked,

1242
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: like what matchup or storyline, whatever are you most excited

1243
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: for in this nets Bucks second round series?

1244
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's first. It's it's exciting that everybody is excited.

1245
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: You know, people are really pumped to see this in

1246
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 2: round two. And I think the best matchup on the floor,

1247
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 2: which is gonna happen over and over and over again,

1248
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: it's Yanni's versus Kevin Durant is the most exciting thing.

1249
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: A lot of the times we'll talk about these one

1250
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 2: on one individual matchups, and a lot of times they

1251
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: don't guard each other, but these two dudes are going

1252
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: to guard each other. Just look up and down the

1253
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 2: rosters they have to you know, we talk you can

1254
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 2: talk about Drew versus Kyrie, but Drew will also be

1255
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 2: on James Harden, and Harden will be on Chris Middleton,

1256
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 2: and those will get all mixed up. But Yanni's versus

1257
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant's gonna happen over and over and over again.

1258
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: They played a couple times at the end of the season,

1259
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 2: and Yannie's blocked Kevin Durant straight up garden him one

1260
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: on one. That doesn't happen to Kevin Durant ever. To

1261
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 2: have a guy who's guarding him block him, So these

1262
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 2: two long dudes will be guarding each other. So yeah,

1263
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 2: just just that off the bat and then we can

1264
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: go up and down the rosters and think about what's

1265
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 2: going to happen on Friday. It's exciting, exciting stuff, especially

1266
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 2: because the Bucks swept in round one, so people are,

1267
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: you know, just as basketball fans a little bit more

1268
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: amped coming into the playoffs. It was nets Man the

1269
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: sixth sers then everybody else. You know, Bucks worth there,

1270
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 2: but no one really taking them seriously. But it's great

1271
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 2: that the Bucks swept the heat and now people are

1272
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 2: super super pumped.

1273
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean, yeah, kd Jannis, Hearted, Middleton, Kyrie, Drew

1274
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: Holliday and all the sporting players. Trey, is there one

1275
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: thing you're most excited for? Matchup, storyline, whatever, I.

1276
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 4: Just love that it's pretty possible the NBA champion comes

1277
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 4: from this series. Oh yeah, right, Like, I mean, the

1278
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 4: Bucks looked incredible in Round one. They answered every single

1279
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 4: question you could possibly have about them, and like Tasa saying,

1280
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,919
Speaker 4: the star matchups here are just delicious. Janis and Kadi

1281
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 4: is obvious, Drew probably Kyrie is the first guy he's

1282
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 4: thicking I don't know Middleton and Harden. The looks are

1283
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 4: gonna change. I also like the little bit of added

1284
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 4: drama of PJ. Tucker is probably gonna get to guard

1285
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant a little bit. He's got a lot of

1286
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 4: experience from the Rockets versus Warriors series. But the key

1287
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 4: is gonna be to me who guards the third Nets

1288
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 4: star Yanis and PJ. They're gonna get their chance at KD.

1289
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 4: Drew's gonna stick one of Kyrie and Harden, but who's

1290
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 4: the other guy? Middleton is gonna get some turns, obviously,

1291
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 4: but the Bucks could actually miss Dante de Vincenzo a

1292
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 4: little bit here in this series, just because you don't

1293
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 4: want Chris Middleton to gas out playing defense because you

1294
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 4: still gotta outscore the Nets. That's gonna be a tough

1295
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 4: thing to do for Milwaukee. They're gonna have to play

1296
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 4: some sort of defense and then have enough to give

1297
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 4: back on the offensive end to be able to score

1298
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty points almost every single game in

1299
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 4: this series. It's gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna

1300
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 4: be interesting to see if Jannis can get going inside

1301
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,959
Speaker 4: against this Nets team that's been obviously their biggest week

1302
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 4: point this series or this season. So if Jannis decides, yeah,

1303
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 4: I just want to dunk it every single time. What

1304
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 4: are the Nets gonna do about that? Who are they

1305
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 4: gonna put on him if that's the case, Because Kevin Durant,

1306
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 4: he's a good defender, but he doesn't have Giannis's bulk, right, Like,

1307
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 4: if Jannis really wanted to, he could shoulder and shoulder

1308
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 4: and shoulder and shoulder. Um, maybe they just go three

1309
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 4: for two in that scenario, but it's gonna be fun

1310
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 4: to watch. Cannot wait?

1311
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what Nets big sort of gets that assignment for

1312
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: a good chunk of the game is a great question.

1313
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,479
Speaker 1: I mean where we gonna see Is DeAndre Jordan gonna

1314
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: be dusted off for this series? I mean Claxton, you know,

1315
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: because he is a mobile big is is he going

1316
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: to get a lot more minutes in this? Can't wait?

1317
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: What about you Lee? Same question here? I mean, we

1318
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: got Brooklyn with the best offense in round one, you

1319
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: got the Bucks with the best defense in round one.

1320
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: Something's got to give here, hopefully a long series. But

1321
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: what are you watching here? And we'll do that, We'll

1322
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: do the official deep dove on Friday.

1323
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, teasers. Well yeah, well those three point as well.

1324
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 5: Will we have Bryn Forbes outscoring James Harden in this series.

1325
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 5: I don't think that's going to happen. But that's the

1326
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 5: thing that was that first round series of the Bucks

1327
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 5: just super impressive or with a heat awful. I mean,

1328
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 5: I think there's probably a little bit of both in there,

1329
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 5: but we'll find out in this next series. I think

1330
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 5: absolutely Drew Holiday picks up Kyrie Irving for the majority

1331
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 5: of this series. He actually defends him really well. He's

1332
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 5: just one of those guys he's a good matchup for him.

1333
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 5: So that does mean Middleton I think, probably has to

1334
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 5: stop James Harden, which is not going to be easy.

1335
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 5: But look, these two teams played two games in Milwaukee

1336
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 5: just before the regular season ended, and they were both

1337
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 5: playing to win. This wasn't just to sort of see

1338
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 5: out the regular season game a couple of games years

1339
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 5: because home court advantage is at stake now. The Bucks

1340
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 5: won both games, but the Nets still ended up with

1341
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 5: home court advantage because they had a better record, and

1342
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 5: that could be key. That could be key to me

1343
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 5: in this series that the Nets started at home and

1344
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 5: that would in those games in both those games, I

1345
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 5: thought he was playing. Okay, anyway, the thing was, you know,

1346
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 5: Durant was playing, Kyrie was playing. They were definitely trying

1347
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 5: to win those games. They didn't want to concede and

1348
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 5: they lost them boats. But you know, the Bucks were

1349
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 5: fantastic I thought in round one. But you know, can

1350
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 5: they put do it again? Can they perform again? And

1351
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 5: how will those rotations work? Because de Vincenzo's not there,

1352
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 5: so that means more. Pat Connton, can you rely on

1353
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 5: him to hit threes? He's done it at times, but

1354
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 5: how consistent can he be? Can he be the Joe

1355
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 5: Harris of the Milwaukee Bucks in this series? Because you know,

1356
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 5: Joe Harris is going to get a tanner shots I

1357
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 5: think in this series, and he's a shot maker, so

1358
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 5: should be fascinating. I'm really excited for this series. I

1359
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 5: hope we get a long, deep series.

1360
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: Do you think the championship team comes out of this series?

1361
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: But as your guts say that, Lee.

1362
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I certainly from the East, I think

1363
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference Winter and at West I mean.

1364
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the Jazz, the jazz and then yeah,

1365
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 4: probably probably, I don't know.

1366
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what's gonna maybe come out of

1367
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: this series that one hundred dollars bet that tests because

1368
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: I need the Bucks to be the Nets here in

1369
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: this round to help my chances to win that one

1370
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. And uh if the nets win task might

1371
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: be feeling pretty good, it's still have one more round too.

1372
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, that's a game fight in that finals. Yeah, yeah, it.

1373
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Feels like this is. Look, the sixers are good and

1374
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: who knows with them b but uh yeah, it feels

1375
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be for that least the Eastern Conference

1376
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: finalist here in this It has the feeling of that,

1377
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: but you never know. An injury can change everything in

1378
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: a hurry. All right, let's take one more break, and

1379
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: I know Lee has a very special tweet of the night,

Speaker 5: engagement photos we took in Saint Augustine, Florida a couple

1395
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 5: of weekends ago. When I heard I needed both a

1396
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 5: formal and casual outfit, I asked if my casual one

1397
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 5: could include a No Dunk's T shirt, and my fiance agreed.

1398
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 5: As she knows I'm a big fan of the show,

1399
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 5: dating back to the late two thousands, from the Tbjay days.

Speaker 4: He liked that.

1431
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Andrew leaned into the casual vibes, not just a shirt.

1432
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: He's rocking the flip flops there. Yeah, so he's keeping saying, yeah,

1433
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,280

1435
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:38,160

Speaker 4: to park and like films their coolest highlights. This guy.

1449
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we almost should just like we're going long here,

1450
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: save it for the beach, get the clips, and you

1451
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: could talk over the blea when we hit the beach

1452
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: later today, I have three pm Eastern here live on YouTube.

1453
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: I have so many questions.

1454
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty straightforward. I mean I was just a

1455
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 3: park shooting around.

1456
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, playing basketball.

1457
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who filmed it?

1458
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 3: So? So yeah, I mean you probably think I was

1459
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 3: like quick, Sebastian, get the phone, film this.

1460
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 5: I want you to film this, But I didn't. I

1461
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 5: didn't Sebastian picked it up and said, I'll take some photos.

1462
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 5: I said sure. I didn't realize he was actually recording

1463
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 5: the whole thing.

1464
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 3: Now. It's a little herky jerky for sure, because he

1465
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 3: loves I.

1466
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Think it's not that bad. Well that's the thing.

1467
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 4: He loves the zoom effect, bouncing.

1468
01:04:59,480 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Around like that.

1469
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 5: But yeah. There was some other video like of Oscar

1470
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 5: just walking in the middle of the court while we're playing,

1471
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 5: and I'm come on, son, I know you want to play.

1472
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 5: He wants to shoot his little ball, but I'm like,

1473
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 5: you got to stay out of a lot of the

1474
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 5: big boys are playing here. But shout out to Deshon

1475
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 5: and Jamal who were playing there yesterday.

1476
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: We were just some American twenty line that looked like

1477
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: going on.

1478
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1479
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, we played another game I've never played before, right,

1480
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 5: I don't know, Tray, maybe you've played this one. I'm

1481
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 5: guessing if it's an American thing, it's just you shoot

1482
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 5: ten first to make ten shots and that's that's the

1483
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 5: winner of a game.

1484
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Okay, basically one on one on one.

1485
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 3: No, but this is like you're just shooting.

1486
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 5: It was like we're just playing up to ten and

1487
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 5: I'm like like, so you're not defending anybody.

1488
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: It's just like you tell, there wasn't a lot of difference.

1489
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 5: It wasn't even super hot here yesterday, but just it

1490
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 5: was like two in the afternoon, so it was humored

1491
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 5: and it was warm, and.

1492
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: So you just had a shooting contest.

1493
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 3: But no, then we played twenty one afterwards. Yeah.

1494
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great fun, man, it's so much fun, so

1495
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 5: much fun just playing basketball with randoms and those outdoor

1496
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 5: hoops with a net. I mean, honestly, that to me

1497
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,479
Speaker 5: is a treat. In Australia, when they put up an

1498
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 5: outdoor court, it gets the net up once and when

1499
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 5: that wears through, that's it. You never get a net again,

1500
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 5: not even a chain net. But here, when those nets

1501
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 5: get broken, they replace them. It's incredible, incredible. It's nice

1502
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 5: to have nets back, that's for sure. The ability to

1503
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 5: go down and shoot around.

1504
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,439
Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll make sure on today's beach step

1505
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: and we'll at least get one of the clips. Also, yeah,

1506
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: your hair flowing as you're you're playing in sunglasses. I

1507
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know how I felt about that. Maybe again, we'll

1508
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: talk about it on the beach. Join us Live at
