  Speaker 1: says it wasn't the plan to play all those five
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: guys for the entire second half.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: You can't play. The amount of weight that Lebron and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Luca have to carry. Lebron's forty Luca is carry is
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: he has to do a lot to play those guys.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Them other guys are interchangeable. Them other guys you get
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: if you got it. You can't play a forty old man,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: not in game four with three more games ago, if one, two,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: three to go, So you can't say you're playing it,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: but you got to get guys a rest.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: There's physical fatigue the middle fatigue that they always just coached.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: You need a blow that says, yeah, give me a blow,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: so I have something down the stretch, and that might
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: they them turnovers. Luca missile lay up, Lebron Missi lay up,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and they both had a couple of turnovers. You can't
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: that's fatigue.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Lebron twenty two in the first half, five in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: third quarter. Nothing in the fourth court. Nothing in the tame.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I would agree one hundred percent with Chuck, but I
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: would also add Finny Smith needs a break. That's what
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I said. It's no different. But put anybody in the
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: game there. You can put Austin Reed. Come on, man,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: stop because your strategy. Then you you're question your strategy
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: if you can't substitute at all, or your assistant coaches
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: now or somebody.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah we haven't subbed. Yeah, but look at this type sheet.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Six points from.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: The bench in the game.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't play. Oh no, no, Finnish Smith played forty minutes.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: We got played twelveny Smith started. They played the whole
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: seven half. I'm just looking at this. They ain't getting nothing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: From their bench because they went in the game. Phinney
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Smith came up the back. No, but he played the
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: whole half. So you go, you can't count.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Him if you play twelve forty nine, you go for two.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You ain't ready. You got to suit your ads now
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: for two. They went over two. You can't gave Vincent
