- 0:00Welcome to another episode of Shenanigans Overtime.
- 0:04And I am your host, Sir Don. And we're getting
- 0:07right into the madness, right into the shenanigans.
- 0:09Because it's been overtime in Games 1, in both
- 0:14conferences in Games 1. That was crazy. Man,
- 0:18drop your takes on who you think is going to
- 0:21make it to the finals coming out the East or
- 0:23the West. We're going to break it down right
- 0:25here. Man, listen. So we got to start off with
- 0:31Oklahoma City W. There's chances to repeat. The
- 0:35chances for them to repeat, after looking after
- 0:38game one, it was looking scary. Not even going
- 0:42to cap. Not even going to cap. After game one,
- 0:44it was looking scary. You and me, after that
- 0:4840 -20 game, they're going to overtime. He hit
- 0:52a shot. Shea hit a shot. Going to double overtime.
- 0:58You know what I'm saying? Like, then you're looking
- 1:02at how everybody stepped up, right, in both teams.
- 1:07You got two young teams, yes, OKC are the defending
- 1:11champs, so you can't even say just because they're
- 1:13young now, but a lot of people had the Spurs
- 1:16going far. They won it without De 'Aaron Fox
- 1:19in game one. That was on the road at that. Gulf
- 1:25City being one of the better teams, obviously,
- 1:27in the NBA for years to take the home court.
- 1:29They got one of the better, you know, crowds.
- 1:33And, or, um, telling them to go in there and
- 1:38do that in game one and double overtime was crazy.
- 1:41That was, that was fucking crazy. Um, it was,
- 1:46they got to take care of the ball. So, we know,
- 1:50uh, how that looked to where, uh, Stephon Castle
- 1:55didn't have 11 turnovers. 11 turnovers is just
- 1:59totally too much. They did have nine in game
- 2:05two. That's too many just throughout two games.
- 2:09You know what I'm saying? That's supposed to
- 2:11be six, seven games, and that's still a lot.
- 2:13But let's keep it to a minimum. But everybody
- 2:20stepped up. Dylan Harper. You wouldn't even think
- 2:24he was a rookie. Slipping out there, doing his
- 2:27thing. I mean, he was just going straight to
- 2:30the cup. Getting all the bucks. Doing his thing.
- 2:35And like I said, shout out to him. Partners.
- 2:42They all. They came back. They look better. Obviously,
- 2:56the coaching adjustment was putting two bigs
- 2:59in the lineup. Offset, some of them rebounds
- 3:03that San Antonio gave from game one, just opposite
- 3:07rebounds. It was like, oh, man. Are they going
- 3:12to ever get a chance to get the ball back? Even
- 3:17after they missed it. Game two definitely looked
- 3:22better. Doesn't look better for A .C. A .C. Got
- 3:30his 30. A better looking 30. Or I could go up
- 3:33with 24. Can't go wrong with that. I was the
- 3:36most efficient scorer in the NBA. Silly. Started
- 3:42off the game consistently. Like I said, he had
- 3:48a good game too. But more than 13. Say with me,
- 3:53I'm going to have more than 21 throughout the
- 3:55game. All right. Alex Russo, some big shots,
- 3:58big time in this thing. I was trying to let him
- 4:01shoot and play game one. I'm trying to figure
- 4:03out how now we got way taller player in the NBA
- 4:07being guard by Alex Russo. And he does not win
- 4:14every time. I mean, what is. If you put a will
- 4:19numbers. That's just not making no sense to me.
- 4:23It's crazy. They was allowing that to happen.
- 4:32That's why they came back and had to put two
- 4:33bigs in that starting lineup because you got
- 4:36to slow that down. You can't go up that many
- 4:39second chance. No, it's not going to work. I
- 4:46mean, The series had been tied after two games,
- 4:52obviously. It was a game three. And going forward,
- 5:02NFL has to win both games. I don't think OKC
- 5:09will win another game. Now, the matchup is perfect.
- 5:13But the final cast cannot keep turning the ball
- 5:18over like that. And then De 'Aaron Fox helps
- 5:24me with that element of change. But, you know.
- 5:30So, it's OK. So, you're going to repeat. Who
- 5:34do I got going for a win? Who do I got going
- 5:38for a win? Who do I got going for a win? Who
- 5:42do I got going for a win? Who do I got going
- 5:42for a win? Who do I got going for a win? To where.
- 5:52What's going to happen. And who's going to go
- 5:54forward. Trying to just. What they got going
- 5:56on. Had to be a gambling. I don't recommend.
- 6:08Oof. Well. Had to go with OKC. OKC to win. But.
- 6:22Spurs, man. So dominant at the game one. OK,
- 6:32see, I think they were awful. I don't I don't
- 6:36think. The closer he hurt is another factor,
- 6:41so. There was going to look like if he doesn't
- 6:47come back to finish. Matter of fact. I'm not
- 6:58just saying no business. I'm not just saying
- 7:01no business. The Spurs, OKC, the favorite, going
- 7:06back and forth. Like I said, it's the Spurs not
- 7:11going anywhere. That's just crazy. Yeah. Okay,
- 7:34see? If they're hungry, don't step up. They're
- 7:38going to lose anyway. So, I don't care how many
- 7:41times they're hungry. It's team that be winning.
- 7:45I don't care about none of that. Make sure you
- 7:50hit the comment, like, and subscribe button for
- 7:55your favorite shenanigans. All right. Yeah, we're
- 8:00doing something coming out. Something for you.
- 8:08But the burning headline, the burning headline,
- 8:12it's really what's going on in New York, right?
- 8:22What's going on in New York where you believe
- 8:26the Knicks are going to make the finals? Now,
- 8:40yes, they protect their home court. They're doing
- 8:43what they're doing, what they're supposed to
- 8:46be doing, right? That's the thing. If they make
- 8:53it to the finals, I don't even know how we're
- 8:57going to withstand both media, all the crazy
- 9:01riots and celebration that's going to go on.
- 9:03They ain't got to win the game. They can go there
- 9:04and get swept. But it's going to be so much chaos.
- 9:09It ain't no sense. Just because they already
- 9:11tweaked up 2 -0. And yes, Jalen Brusson doing
- 9:21his thing. Doing his thing. Not only Mitchell
- 9:26and James Harden. I just don't think. The Cavs
- 9:37have the wings. They got bigs. It's like it's
- 9:53cooking just James Harden cooking. It's not even
- 9:56funny. Not even funny. Harden is all of where.
- 10:04First ballot. He all of that. Like it ain't even
- 10:08though it's not even all about his accolades.
- 10:12But we're not here for all of that. We're down
- 10:16to praise him. Because as you go back and look
- 10:18at what was the true story behind it. It was
- 10:23school board down 11. That's three threes. It's
- 10:3011. All right, 8 down 11. I close. Treepo was
- 10:40missing that game. How many easy buckets? You
- 10:45can say that for both sides. That was easily
- 10:47missed. We talk about James Harden showing up.
- 10:52We talk about how Donovan Davis showed up. Everything
- 10:55like that, but. And. I'm looking at Coach, it's
- 11:01two. All right? So, it's not that we're shooting
- 11:07bad shots, not even efficient. All right? So,
- 11:16if I go game one and kind of have that bad shooting,
- 11:20I'll be inconsistent. 5 -16, don't cut it. And,
- 11:34I mean, that's the Donovan, James Harden, Evan
- 11:38Mobley. Yes, we know how good and talented he
- 11:41is, right? But he's going to give us that 30
- 11:46any time we need it, right? Like, there's good
- 11:53threes, but he's going to give one at any given
- 11:58time. That's what a true three is. All right,
- 12:04so yeah, he's going to boo his partner on the
- 12:06defensive end. And she goes rebounds. But in
- 12:13the playoffs, when they slow down, yeah, we need
- 12:18you to show up too. Like I said, the Knicks ain't
- 12:27going to make it there. And that's not only because
- 12:32They're up to, they've been consistently doing
- 12:39their, getting to this spot, right? They got
- 12:44Mike Brown, new head coach, with them, recently.
- 12:48So, they got the talent there. Right, Carlton
- 12:57Charles is basically And you need to cut down
- 13:04on the turnovers, too. You got to cut down on
- 13:07the turnovers because, yes, you're getting a
- 13:09lot of assists and plays and things like that.
- 13:13But seven turnovers is a lot. All right. So let's
- 13:22try to get some more blocks. How about that?
- 13:30Everybody always get bored. Everybody always
- 13:33gets in love with one another. Everybody got
- 13:38a few people in double digits, right? Evenly
- 13:45spread across the depth chart. Consistently,
- 13:50everybody doing their own physical and stuff.
- 13:55That's one of the reasons why they up to it.
- 13:57So they be consistent, do what they do, take
- 14:00care of Cleveland. It ain't about you. Cleveland
- 14:12needs some help. And there's only so many things
- 14:22I'm able to do to get it. So many ways they can
- 14:26get it. That's the best word about it. Drop a
- 14:34comment. I don't know how to feel you. I don't
- 14:39even know where I'm going. I guess I'm alone.
- 15:08And I've been seeing it. Lakers might have tried
- 15:19to trade with LeBron maybe a year or two ago.
- 15:24Hopefully get some value out of him. Reasonably.
- 15:34I don't think LeBron's done. He had a great year
- 15:40for expectations of anybody at his age. His longevity
- 15:47and his accomplishment. He had a good year. There's
- 15:55plenty of things. I mean, I'm not a defense.
- 15:58Especially when you want to put it on the court.
- 16:00Or maybe. We think he should be getting 100%,
- 16:05but being able to throttle, going at longevity,
- 16:09right, give us at 38, 40 minutes in the game,
- 16:13something that he asked to pull out. Most. So,
- 16:21given the elements, especially with Luka, Austin
- 16:24Reeves being out, what's an electric who can
- 16:28do an asset to get better? Now you can talk about
- 16:32we got 50 time in cafes where you think there's
- 16:35gonna go that's if we take to We need to get
- 16:44some defensive player we are changing what the
- 16:48bra will be the luggage Where will he go? Nobody
- 16:58knows What? Yeah, going back. How is it going
- 17:12to happen? I don't even know. Change art over
- 17:15there. Open up the cap space. Because they definitely
- 17:22need somebody to dominate and not dominate, control
- 17:26the ball, control the tempo. And obviously, James
- 17:31Harden was there before, but it's probably more
- 17:34consistently than James Harden, even at his given
- 17:38age. I don't know. Like I said, it would be crazy
- 17:48if Brian was here to retire, but I'll call him
- 17:50later. Aaron Rodgers just announced this last
- 17:59year. Fair words. There's a game on mission.
- 18:15Do it for the love of the game or take it a bit.
- 18:19So you got to ask yourself that. At this point,
- 18:28I want to be close to LeBron on that before it's
- 18:31over. Why not go get 18? So, I think it's going
- 18:53to be the rematch. Spurs versus Knicks. I'm going
- 18:59back in time. New York's probably going to end
- 19:04up disappointed, but yeah. As far as lunch is
- 19:07next in the finals. We're going to stay tuned
