• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: The first day of the postseason was all that all
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: both games Banger first game with a day overtime win,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Charlotte horne season stay alive. And then I'm recording this
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: right after Jeremy grunt dunk the ball was zero point
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: four seconds ago and the Trailblazer win over the Suns
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: two playing games that was decided by total five points
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: between the two.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, Adam Silver. There's been a lot of conversations.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: About you, but every year just feel like you cook
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the this aspect of it. And now that there is
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: no stakes for me necessarily with my favorite team being
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: out of the player for the first time in a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: long time, I was able to just sit back, relax
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and just enjority five. So I will jump to between
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: these two games. I will say right off, run, I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: am not gonna hide the biases that I had going
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: into this first game of the Charlotte Hornets versusy Miami Heat.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I've said it before publicly, whether it be on the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: podcast on this channel, the Charlotte Hornets have been one
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of the two most excited teams for me this season.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It was them in the San Antonio.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Spurs and between Philly, between Orlando, and between Miami and Charlotte.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The one team I can care about the most making
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the postseasons to Charlotte Horns Like, yeah, they played against
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the Detroit Pisson a few times the season and it
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: hasn't gone their way. But I think out of all
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the playing teams, that is a team I think it
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: give the most intriguing one eight matchup. So I'm going
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: into this game though, I got love and respect for
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the Miami Heat, hoping that the Charlotte Hornets wins to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: get a second opportunity to make the postseason.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The Miami Heat did not let it be easy.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: First off rip, Before we even talk about the game
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in itself, we gotta talk about the fact that Bam
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and Abayo only played a handful of minutes I think
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: ended up being eleven in the grand scheme of things. Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: eleven minutes and twenty three or twenty six seconds in
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a play a bang bang play where I don't care
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: if you if you watch it in full speed, half
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: speed four x two x, it don't matter. It looks
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: very bad from LaMelo balls part, as he's fallen down
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to the ground after a block or something and he
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: pulls Bam out of Bayo's leg.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Bam lands on his butt and he's.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Out for the rest of the game with a contusion
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: in his lower back. I gotta commend the Miami Heat
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: that even though their star player and their captain was
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: out for majority of this game, they were still able
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to make it really interesting. But I have to talk
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: about that because it was a really important part of
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: this game. And you might argue, if you're Miami, that
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: if we have dam On aa Baio, then maybe we
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: win this one, but of course you didn't.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the game in itself.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: We started off very early on finding out that Khalil
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Whar was going to be starting this so it makes
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: sense from supposed perspective you think about the Charlotte Hornets
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: have been one of the best offensive rebounded teams all
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: season long, only behind I think the Houston Rockets was
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: number one and then the Charlotte Hornet's number two. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: if they ran what would have been one of their
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: normaler lineups, the ones that Khalil War did not start in,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: they probably would get killed on the glass in this one.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And there was a stretch where ultimately didn't pay off
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because they didn't win a game. We're midway through the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: third quarter of Khaleil War looked like I don't know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: kel El from Krypto, Like he really looked like a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: superman out there, hitting shots, blocking shots, getting rebounds, closed possessions.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It really was a great game, and there was a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: lot of conversation on the interwebs about how, like, yeah,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: there were portions of this season where Errige Sposa straight
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: up didn't trust Khalail where to play meaningful minutes and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: then a winner go home. He was one of the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: most important players. I don't know how much of that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it's just because Bam ended up going out so early,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but Khalil ended up coming through a lot early on.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Davion Mitchell just showed a lot of the value.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I got to see this last year when
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: he played against my Chicago Bulls in that playing game
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: where Davion Mitchell can really be just a pest defensively.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: But also it's just this weird and it's so weird
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that he only as like nine points on the season
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: or eight points on the season, that he is this
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: weird combination of strength and speed or like one of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the very first possessions that the Miami he had was
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Davian Mitchell putting his shoulder to LaMelo ball. LaMelo flew
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: like twelve feet offlt like I don't know if he's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: trying to sell a call, and Davion Mitchell went up
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: for a little floater. And it was also a possession
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in this where LaMelo took a three and he made
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it and Davian Mitchell just got down corn and scored
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a layup.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So like he has this weird combination.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Of just being really stocky but being really fast and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: understanding tempo when to go and with not to go.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And that's why I really do like Davion Mitchell.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: One thing that stood out if anybody was watching was
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: mouse Bridges this defensive play making early in this game,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: couple steels, a couple of blocks, is playing in the hell,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: playing in the gaps, getting his hand in the cookie jar.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, one of the biggest plays in the game
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: down a stretch in overtime was moles.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Bridges getting the block to secure the game.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Like he was just great on both sides of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Florida's game, And I just I don't know, I guess
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: when I watched a ton of these Charlotte Hornets this season.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I just didn't see him take that defense up to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: another notch.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: There were plays where he got killed off the dribble,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: but I'm mostly talking about him playing like secondary defense
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and causing havoc.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Three blocks in a steal.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I don't even think that tells the full story of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the impact that Males Bridges had. And he had that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: sexy scoop lay up and overtime, it was amazing. Cocking
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Nipple then score his I'm just reading through my notes.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: By the way, cock Nipple then scored his first basket
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to the second quarter, and obviously we got down in
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the stretch and they mentioned it on the broadcast. Ben
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Gunn he was like, man, the number one three point
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: shoot in the league this season is not playing on
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a possession where the Charlotte Hornets need a three point shot. Obviously,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Kobe White came to say today we're gonna talk about
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Kobe in a second, but yeah, really rough out in
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for the first you know, postseason experience for Conkinnipple in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the game that ended up winning. In the game, he
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: played thirty four minutes, he was a minus twenty. Now,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: box score doesn't tell the full story of a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of things, but I think it can snapshot something that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you saw in that game, and he just didn't have
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it all. There was a possession late in this game
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: where he was on the court where Tyler Herro has
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the ball top of the key, leading and towards like
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the left winger. So and you could tell just all
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: game long. One of the things that Charles specifically in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the fourth courter, and one of the things Charles Lee
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: really told to his team is that we're gonna send
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: these late doubles at Tyler Herro. And there was a
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: possession where Con did not send that double, and you
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: can you can you can literally hear Charles Lee on
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the broadcast say con Con and by the time Con
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: came over to late double, Tyler Herro had picked it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: up already and ended up in the open three pointer
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: from Davion Mitchell looking for them. Literally, Davion Mitchell didn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: hit the rim on his jump shot wide open three.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Just I think he heard about two threasons, one from
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: their left corner and one from the left wing. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you know, he had a couple of defensive lapses, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he also wasn't the conkinipple that was the best three
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: points shooter in the entire league this season. There's times
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: in this game from the Miami Heat perspective where it
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: felt like the only people on the court that could
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: get real drib penetration ended up being Davion Mitchell and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Wiggins who Wiggins just finds a way to take mismatches
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and do that turnaround mid rays jump shot one hundred
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: times a game. It feels like they did a really
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: good job the Miamai Heat. I'm talking about enforcing the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Charlotte Hornets to play really late in the shot like
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in this game. And this was like when the Miami
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Heat were going in their run and it was eerily
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: reminiscent for me of the game that the Charlotte Hornets
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: played last week on Friday, when it felt like a winner,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: go home game. If you lose this game, it's gonna
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: be nine to ten in the play in versus the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons, where in that second half the Pistons just
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: shut off the faucet where the Charlotte Hornets didn't get
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: two feet into the paint for five straight minutes. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it's also happened in the fourth quarter, which you'll get
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to but that was just showing some of the youth
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that is to Charlotte Horns, you know, and the Miami
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Heat has had that experience factor over in my notes
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: right here, LaMelo ball can still be very reckless at times.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the one play where he hit the.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Three and he's celebrating and Davion Mitchell gets back to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: get an easy lay up. There was a couple bad passes,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the one that ended up having Tyler Herro go out
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to get the three, pointed that LaMelo fouled on. So
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that just a lot of moments like that for LaMelo.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But ultimately he made the game winner. So who the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: hell cares about the regulars this? Maybe we got one
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: more game to make the postseason, to make the playoffs.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I think that the Miami He did a good job
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of denying it wasting times. Like I mentioned, there's plenty
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of times for the Hornets, specifically between the second and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: third quarter where the Hornets offense didn't start until there
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: was like seven and eight seconds left on the shot clock.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what the Miami He wanted to do defensively,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: so they get a lot of love there attacking a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Tyler Hero. I felt like They didn't do a lot
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of that early into the game, but as we got
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: later and later and later, attacking Tyler Herro on pick
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and rolls and on switches became the number one thing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Something that Tyler hero has seen his entire career in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the postseason and late games and regular season games, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: something he will forever really see out there no Norman
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Powell in the third quarter to the last minute. And
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I made this tweet because I thought it was just
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: amazing that this is the case. Tyler Herro is an
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: All Star in twenty twenty normOn Powell is an All
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: starting twenty twenty six. Now, granted these guys have not
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: played a ton of games together, but in the regular season,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: those two dudes played a total of two hundred minutes
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: together and it was awful.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And in a winner, go home game.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Eric Sposa thought that the two players that were all
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: starts to back to back seasons literally couldn't play together
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: until it was the last possession and they were just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: looking for offensive juice. Now you think about and we
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: will talk about offseasons not in this video. Before the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Miami Heat and all the teams eliminated. If you are
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the Miami Heat. You have to figure out what the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: hell do we do if we Norman Pale is a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: free agent right now, so you have to figure out
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: if you want to bring him back. And if you
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: do bring him back, you got to figure out how
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: do you find a way where those guys either play
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: together or you just break him apart and you ship
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: one this way, ship one this way.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of on ball.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Juice, but the defensive side is the reason why that
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: lineup could never really play. And then we get to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. This is where things get really really
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: interesting because it's a lot of Charlotte Hornet's. At this point,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: nine minutes and forty seconds left in the fourth quarter,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the zone comes out, and that zone was lethal. The
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: first ten possessions that the s Darla Hornets had when
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: they were facing the zone versus mime he I'm gonna
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: read them out of my notes. Open three pointer for Conkinipple,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: miss Kobe White, travel Kobe White three pointer, miss Brandon
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Miller three pointer, miss LaMelo Ball, missed three pointed offensive
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: rebound put back for two. So you take those mouse
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Bridges three pointer, miss Grant Williams great three point of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: miss offensive Reblold put back for two. So you take
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: those Brandon Miller three point miss LaMelo ball three premise
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: offensive rebound game. So like all of the half court
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: possessions from nine minutes to like four minutes to go,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: when they ran into that zone were miss miss missed
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: three pointers. They couldn't get a single thing in the paint.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Lesson was in offensive rebound. And that's exactly what the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Heat did last season two the Chicago Bulls.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I was just sitting you a watch like this is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the same movie. It's so much of the same movie.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Then Kobe White is in this movie, starring in this
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: one and in the prequel which.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Was last season.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: But now it's time to talk about alex Yakobe White
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: because man man man. As y'all know, Chris Paul is
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: my favorite player of all time, Derek Rose is my
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: favorite Bull of all time, but Kobe White has been
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite players for a very, very long time.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So it's just a different feeling when you see.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Your favorite player turn into a legend for a city
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: in one game, because regardless of what happens in the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: next game, and that you know the matchup they play against,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the loser of Philly versus the Orlanto Magic because of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: what he did in this game. Even if they don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: resign in this offseason, he's gonna he's got the stamp
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: in Charlotte. He's from North Carolina either way, but he
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: got the stamp. The shots, some of the shots that
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: this brother hit in this game, my god.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm on. I'm standing up in my office watching.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I eventually stopped taking That's the last notes I had
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of this game, by the way.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That's it. I just became a.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Pure fan watching one of my favorite players go out
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: there and hit crazy shots.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: The one to send it to overtime is one of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the more ridiculous shots you will see from a player
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that's not an All NBA player, just straight up, that's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: raight up to have the balls to take that shot,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: because two possessions before that ended up in Grant Williams's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: damn hands in the corner, and I thought that was
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. I thought it was the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: end of the season for them, and then they get
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the I think they'll miss free throw from somebody get
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the ball back, Boom boom boom, Kobe White three corner.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Over time, it felt a lot like the Charlotte Hornets
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: right up by five. When we get the tackle difficulties Amazon,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: let's not do that again. Tyler Herro hits a three
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: very heavily contested in that corner from Tyler Hero.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think he scored the last eight points for that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I mean he trying to keep him in the game.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: They get to steal because LaMelo was scared of an
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: eight second violation. You get the three point miss from
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Tyler Herro, but he's fouled, and then LaMelo Ball comes
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: down to make that free throw that layup. But what
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: an amazing game, Kobe white Forever is Charlotte Hornet's legend
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: theased on one game because it's not like the Charlotte
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Hornets have a ton of history.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: If you play for the Lakers and you are the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: six man, you have a game like that, people will
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: remember it, but you're not stamped the legend because you're
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the Lakers with seventeen eighteen banners. The Charlott Horne's got
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: zero banners. Hell to Charlotte Hornet, say had a playoff
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: series win and I don't know how long that one movie.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Kobe White Man, I made the tweet too, because y'all
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: know Kobe West super fan Kobe White has wore the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: same model of Lebron Lebron twenty since twenty twenty three,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and two years of that it was the same colorway two.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: But he more recently when he got traded to Charlie,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: start bringing out this pink colorway that you saw today,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and I rock with the pink, Kobe. I know you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna have seen this video, but I rock with
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the pink. Shout out to my boy Kobe, Kobe White
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: for having a great game. And again, Miles Bridges deserves
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a ton of credit for this one too, because he
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was pretty damn good on both sides of the floor today.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Now this is gonna feel weird because I just spend
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: twelve minutes talking about this one singular game, the Trailblazer game.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I got a lot less notes for multiple reasons. Reason
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Number one, I have a sick four year old kid
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: in this house right now, And if you're a parent,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you know them kids that when they get sick, man,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: they are clingy and you trying.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Your best not to get sneezed on calltone. Guess what
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I got sneezed on call thones?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Sped on not been out on purpose, sped on Burntney, everything,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: but but fecal matter. You know what I'm saying. So
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'm probably next video you see for me. I'm probably
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: some coats and some pauses in the video for one.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: And then West Coast games are crazy when you got kids.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I'm watching on the phone while I'm putting the little
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: ones to sleep. So I got a lot less notes,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: but here are the things that completely completely stood out.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: One of the major questions I had about this spoiler
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: trailblaz Seam, which is a great story all things considered,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: where you talk about the coach getting arrested basically right
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: as a season is starting. They've had so many injuries
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: from Juwhiday, missed the Santish School, Henderson shading Sharp, Robert Williams, Mece,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: He's Stipe, everybody that really played significant minutes for them
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: this season. It feels like it's missed some time. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it's a great story the fact that you've been in
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: this position. But my biggest question for them was how
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: does Dinny perform or how does he look in a
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: postseason's game or serious? Right as Sweeten, they made on
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: broadcast three times that he thirty percent of his points
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: this season come from the free throw line. You know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you think about the postseason that whistle gets a little
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: bit tighter, how will you perform? And the question has
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: been answered. The guy was fucking amazing tonight. He was
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: amazing tonight and he did get his whistle for sure.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: That a couple of players you're like, oh, that one understand.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But even outside of the way, so the man was phenomenal.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Just straight up.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And it felt like, especially down the stretch here, that
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it was the Sun's game to win. Because the one
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: thing that Tripotland Trailblazers do, they are one of the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: top three teams in the league when it comes to
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: giving up long mid rangers.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: That is their identity.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Defensively, Eve gonna play this heavy drop coverage between our
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: two bigs of Clinging and Robert Williams. We want you
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: to take long two pointers. We don't want you to
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: take threes, which they do very good job for vining
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: teams to take threes. They let people get to the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: basket quite a bit, but for the most part, their
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: identity is to get you to take them two pointers.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: The one thing the Suns do, they have great two
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: point shooters on their team, between Devin Booker, between Jalen Green,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: who was amazing at times in the season, or this game,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: even Dylan Brooks. These are guys that are making and
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: taking long twos. So even though for a lot of
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: this game the trailblazerre winning the reb on the battle,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: they were winning a three point battle by like six
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: or seven, the Sun still had the lead because the
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: shots that they were allowing was exactly to the identity,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and they were hitting those shots in the first half
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: when they hit I.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Think eleven threes. I think it was number for the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: point dribbler.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I can't look it up because the box score has
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: not updated, but I didn't write down eleven, but I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: think it was eleven threes in the first half. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: was like, Okay, this is cool. Eleven threes and a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: half only up by three going into halftime. I'm a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: little bit afraid for y'all because that eleven may threes
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: in this half is that's not your identity. I don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: expect you to match that eleven in the second half,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and that was not the case, right They only hit
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: six in the second half, So I'm like.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, how do you win this game.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And how you win this game if you are that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: team is you find a way to get those stops,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: which officially they did down the stretch, and you kind
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: of need a takeover, and Denny had that takeover. Let
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: me say, I would have to use my phone here
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: because I don't think it will work on my computer,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: So just give me a second while look this up.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I need to know the exact numbers that Denny put
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: up in that fourth quarter because I truly saw fourteen
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: three and three a turnover, a foul and.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You know what, Damn, the light has just changed. You
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: know what?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: There was he got the bucket that I think eventually
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: becomes the game when the bucket and he lost his
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: mind at the ref right he thought he was foul
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: typical and he lost his mind. And I was like, yo,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the ref holding that whistle and not seeing him up
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I think they went up by one at that point.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: To not see him up on that play is there's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: crazy self control from the ref because no way you're
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: gonna scream at me like that right now. And they
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: held it. They held it. Both teams were super small
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: down the stretch with I thought it was really interesting
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: because one of the advantages that I thought the Blazers
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: had in this series or in this game was some
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: of the jumbo lineups they can put together, because even
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: though Drew Holly's not a jumbo guy, he's very big
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and defensively oriented. Jeremy Grant was going to play play
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: this game Denny to Mani and then Donovan c like
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: they could put together some really big lineups, but ultimately
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: both teams decided.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: To go smaller in this one.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And the one player that stands out the most, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it might this might have been the game when it shot,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: if you will, Denny has the ball top and I
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: forget who that was, Shandon Sharp. Shandon Sharp has been
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: guarded by Dylan Brooks right wing and Denny.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Waves him away.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: He waves Shade Sharp away to clear out, to go
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: to the opposite corner because we don't want Dylan Brooks
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: involved in his play. You know, Dylan Brooks is a
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: new sense. You're gonna foule out, You're gonna do this,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: but we don't want him involved.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: In his play.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Shandon Sharp's classic tries to clear out, but the other
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: side of the court has two other players over there.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: So because if we have two other players we also
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: have two other defenders, so instead of following Shandon Sharp
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: around there, Dylan Brooks just stood at the nail right there,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and Denny had to create and get to the basketball.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: He has been guarded by his primary defender and Dylan
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Brooks right there. And that was the play that Dylan
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks eventually filed out on this like legitimately was
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: a super star performance. Now do I see him being
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: able to do that against the Spurs where instead of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: it being the small lass small ball lineup of good
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Jordan Goodwin at the five, instead it's Victor Wiman Yama.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be tougher. But I have a lot less
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: questions about Denny Abdi in the postseason based on this
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: game forty one to twelve and seven. Is no man,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: come on man uncharacteristic free throw shooter from Devin Booker
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: in this one eight of thirteen sixty one percent. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: think he's like an eighty nine percent free throw shooter
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: or something along those lines. They did not end up
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of three point shots. COLLEAGUEI Lespie hit
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: his first real three oh got his first real three
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: point look in the third quarter, which is insane. It
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: feels like as a guy that just set the record
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: for most stree pointers in the Phoenix Sun season, ultimately
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: two banger banger games. Y'all know that the Sons have
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a second opportunity when they go against the winner of
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the Clippers versus Warriors. If I'm being honest with you,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I want to see the Suns win that second game.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I think the Suns have a I don't want to
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: say better chance to be okay see, because I don't
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: think any of these three teams really have a chance
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to beat okay see. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: much rather watch them than watch like a depleted Warriors team.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: And it might just be better for the Warriors to
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: miss the post. Like that's one of the silver liners
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: for the Miami Heat. If you ask me, the Heat
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: have their own pick for the first time in a
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: little bit. Now, let me run one, Tanke, I gotta
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: end every video. We're running one Tanke thign.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna run one. Take thign with Miami. He have
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: picked thirteen and you run it and they say I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: picked thirteen. You know who has picked fifteen? And this
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is condo bulls. Baby.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Let me run this until the Bulls get a top
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: pick pull. Men only took two tis to try, so
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: we gonna get Camboo's. You're at three and then I
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: don't know who At fifteen, I keep seeing the big
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: fella from Michigan mocked to us at nine.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about that. I ain't
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: watching enough of him.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I just know he's a big ass dude, and those
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: dudes kind of scare me because of injury and overall impact.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: When you're seven three and not women, y'am overall great
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: night to start off. I cannot wait for tomorrow
