Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler playoff. Jimmy heat Ye had half the Golden
- 0:07Speaker 1: State points. There's more than half in the fourth quarter.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Finished the night with twenty seven and twenty three of
- 0:16Speaker 1: those coming in the second half. Brandon Pajemski a twenty
- 0:20Speaker 1: six point night, just an explosion for the guy who
- 0:24Speaker 1: was getting his first taste of the NBA playoffs. Twenty
- 0:29Speaker 1: four points the first three games for Pajemski twenty six.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was some great coaching out there tonight
- 0:35Speaker 2: on two fronts. Give Steve Kirk credit for getting Adams
- 0:41Speaker 2: starting the hack.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Thing that got him Akiwi.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yeah, he took him out the game, and that was
- 0:46Speaker 2: a really big deal because that opened up the lane
- 0:49Speaker 2: because he blocked like four or five shot four blocks.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:52Speaker 2: But also give emmy credit because the reason Buddy Hill
- 0:57Speaker 2: and Pozenski was going off, he took the out of
- 1:00Speaker 2: Steve Kerr hand and they got all those shots. Steph
- 1:03Speaker 2: Curry's a lot of Steph Curry hackers. He only got
- 1:05Speaker 2: twelve attempts, So so you get it was some really
- 1:08Speaker 2: good coaching going on out there to night.
- 1:10Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I'm always big on the others,
- 1:13Speaker 4: and you know, it was kind of hard on Buddy Hill.
- 1:15Speaker 4: I showed four miss shots and he hit some nice
- 1:18Speaker 4: important timely shots. Put Pajemski, Yeah, Pajemski played well, Butler
- 1:23Speaker 4: play well. And you know when you got the others
- 1:25Speaker 4: stepping in hitting timely shots. You know, Chuck and King
- 1:28Speaker 4: talks about this all the time. When you're the guy,
- 1:30Speaker 4: you don't have to play well all the time because
- 1:31Speaker 4: the others play well.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Now twenty six a time, but that he was the man.
- 1:35Speaker 4: He was one of the men. Now they need to
- 1:38Speaker 4: close him out of Houston because Houston is a young,
- 1:40Speaker 4: fightzy team and I'm sure they're in the locker room
- 1:42Speaker 4: and saying, hey, we could have won this one, and
- 1:44Speaker 4: they're gonna be confident, they're gonna be home. Their others
- 1:47Speaker 4: are gonna play well. So the question is can Golden
- 1:48Speaker 4: State close them out.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Rockets forty eight twenty eight in the paint. In this game,
- 1:53Speaker 1: second chance points the Warriors twenty one to fourteen as
- 1:58Speaker 1: they lead that department. Jalen Green situation, you said you
- 2:02Speaker 1: want to talk about that, and here's the guy.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Last five minutes of the game. Your leading scorer is
- 2:08Speaker 3: not playing.
- 2:09Speaker 2: But I said before the game, before he can become
- 2:11Speaker 2: a great player, and Amy talked about it. You gotta
- 2:14Speaker 2: do other stuff. You have the team. Like he gets
- 2:18Speaker 2: in a fog when he's not scoring and he just
- 2:22Speaker 2: he's just out.
- 2:24Speaker 3: He's had think about that.
- 2:25Speaker 2: This is a guy who we were bragging about Alsie
- 2:27Speaker 2: and said, is gonna be close on him making an
- 2:29Speaker 2: All Star team.
- 2:30Speaker 3: He's had single digits three out of four.
- 2:32Speaker 2: He had had thirty eight one game and he's had
- 2:35Speaker 2: single digits other three games.
- 2:38Speaker 3: That can't happen. That cannot happen. Yeah, before a young player, No,
- 2:42Speaker 3: he's not that young.
- 2:43Speaker 2: He had thirty eight a game ago. You can't go
- 2:46Speaker 2: from thirty eight to eight.
- 2:48Speaker 3: You can go from thirty eight to twenty twenty four.
- 2:51Speaker 3: You can't go single digits.
- 2:52Speaker 4: You're absolutely right before young players growing bands. He has
- 2:55Speaker 4: to somehow figure that out.
- 2:57Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if you guys did this, but
- 3:01Speaker 5: you guys, I'm just I'm not not this. I'm saying
- 3:03Speaker 5: what I'm about to say because you guys had a dominance.
- 3:07Speaker 3: That may be different.
- 3:09Speaker 5: But for a guy like myself, like or a guy
- 3:12Speaker 5: like Jalen who's trying to get to that level, I
- 3:15Speaker 5: always said, you have to come to the arena knowing
- 3:17Speaker 5: that you're going to do three things and regardless of
- 3:19Speaker 5: what's gonna happen. So my three things was, Okay, I'm
- 3:22Speaker 5: going to pressure the ball. I'm going to push the
- 3:24Speaker 5: ball from free throw line the free throw line as
- 3:26Speaker 5: fast as I can.
- 3:27Speaker 3: And when I don't have the ball.
- 3:28Speaker 5: And it goes inside, I'm sprinting to the opening shot
- 3:31Speaker 5: the three. So every night, I just knew those three
- 3:34Speaker 5: things could be consistent. And I think that when I
- 3:37Speaker 5: look at Jalen, I'm not sure he has much more
- 3:39Speaker 5: offensive things in his two belt than myself. For guys
- 3:43Speaker 5: that I'm talking about, but he should come to the
- 3:45Speaker 5: arena and say these three things I'm going to do
- 3:49Speaker 5: regardless of what happens.
- 3:50Speaker 2: So I'm looking at the stats now to make sure
- 3:53Speaker 2: it's the whole game.
- 3:56Speaker 3: For that kid.
- 3:57Speaker 2: They don't have eight shots, that's ridiculous. Like Reggie Miller,
- 4:03Speaker 2: you should say. Lev Bird would say to him, you're
- 4:06Speaker 2: not having a good game. He's yeah, I know, I'm
- 4:08Speaker 2: like three for ten. He says, Yeah, that's not what
- 4:11Speaker 2: I mean. You need to be three for seventeen. You
- 4:14Speaker 2: don't ever, you can't be the man and only shoot
- 4:18Speaker 2: eight times, you don't even.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Know if you you don't even know if you hot,
- 4:22Speaker 3: cold or whatever. Because first of all, he's actually three
- 4:25Speaker 3: for eight.
- 4:25Speaker 6: Which not a great percentage, but it a brutal I know,
- 4:28Speaker 6: if he makes the next two, he's fifteen. But I
- 4:30Speaker 6: don't understand how a guy that talented he just doesn't
- 4:34Speaker 6: come to arena like obviously, I don't know.
- 4:36Speaker 2: If I had listening, I could do this every night.
- 4:41Speaker 2: But he should come to him every day. What you
- 4:44Speaker 2: say this, I'm gonna get fifteen to twenty shots every game.
- 4:48Speaker 2: How if I'm making my threes because he was making
- 4:52Speaker 2: the game he had third eight. But if I'm not
- 4:54Speaker 2: making threes, I'm getting to the basket. But my point
- 4:57Speaker 2: is he should have he got a green light.
- 5:00Speaker 5: Yeah, and he doesn't sprint out enough to me on
- 5:02Speaker 5: a break. He should never have too talented, But talk
- 5:04Speaker 5: about this. He's just too talented, sho.
- 5:07Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. He's just
