Stop Messing With Tyrese Haliburton… · Kenny For Real

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. The Pacers find a way to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: do it again. Two of the last three games this
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Pacers team has won has been them down by seven
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: plus points with fifty seconds to.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Go and still win it. Do y'all realize how insane?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And that is something you'll see once a year, And
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: like the entirety of the NBA, we just saw twice
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in a single week.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: And that's from the same team. Insane.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I guess, okay, see candidates some similar The last forty
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: eight hours of hoops have been elite. I know that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the Warriors Minnesota game, they gave us a ton, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: still the last forty hours have been I LLeague.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Let's focus on the Pacers.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: They had already taken game number one, which took a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: home court advantage away from the Cavaliers.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And you know, we had knew that Darius.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Garland was questionable, Hunter was questionable, Evan Mobley was questionable.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But the way they were talking about it in game
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: number one on the broadcast, Derri's Garless seemed like he
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was gonna be ready for game number two. Obviously that
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't the case. I'll make a dinner. I get the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: notification that all three of them around. I thought, in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: my mind, at least one of them will be available,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all three of them out, so thaw the energy out
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of the expectations for me.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, if we're gonna watch this game, I'm
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: not expecting anything. And then the Calves come out and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they're hooping. You want to know how bad it was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: for the Calves though, with these three big injuries.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Obviously, their star.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Lineup of Mitchell Ty, Jerome dean Way, Max Shrews and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Jared Allen had played a total of eight possessions together
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in the regular season. Eight Do you want to know
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: how insane it is to be in the second round
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs and that is what you have to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: go through. It's unfortunate for the cast because I truly
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: do believe that full healthy, fully strength, that this Calves
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: scene was good enough to go particilarly win a championship.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't have them winning, but like they were in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: my upper tier of contender. And now we're gonna have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Daris Gardlets still dealing with this Stow. We're gonna have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Evan Mobley dealing what he was dealing with, and DeAndre hunt.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're already down too old.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I just don't. I just don't know. I just don't. Anyway,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: they come out in a game where.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It would have been super easy to be down by
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: twenty points in the first half, they were.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Up by twenty points.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell gave everything he could, and I guess something
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: similar happened to him in this game to happen in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: game number one. Game number one, he struggled to shoot.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: In this game, he strut to shoot his ways one
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of seven from three. But one thing that he did
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a ton in game number one was paint touch, paint touch,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: paint touch. And the reality is this many paint touchs,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you get thirty shots on the rim, you get twenty
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: one free throws. By the end of it, he is exhausted.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And not to mention, there was like one hundred plays
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in this game, but more like ten where it's so
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: much contact with Donovan Mitchew that I know he is
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: bruised up.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: He might be in an.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Ice bath right now, still right now, because he was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in so many bang bang plays that I felt for him. Man,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this is the second time in the last two years
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: where he goes for forty eight or fifty points and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they still don't have enough to win. Ta Jerong gave
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: us a stinker, full stop a stinker, and I guess
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: last game he took eight of twenty from the field.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Just his go to shots so far in the series
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: hasn't been going. A little floater from right within the yard,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just not going, not going, not going again. This lineup
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: makes no sense. Max Jews gave us his best playoff
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: game of his career. Sam Merrill comes in and hit
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: some big shots. But when I saw Craig Porter Junior
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Tekett to this game, I'm like, yeah, man, if they
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: win this game, it will be a miracle. But eventually
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the mirror who happened on the other side of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: things down by seven forty seconds ago and things just
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: turn up.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Halliburton.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I want to give the Calves a credit on Halliburton
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for the first three quarters because.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: They deny, deny, deny it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, the age otail with Tyres Halliburton is like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: if he is aggressive getting to the basket or aggressive
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: with his shot, this team can be really, really deadly.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And we talked about the stat of the BN twenty
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: seven and three. Anytime he scores twenty. But I thought
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily the lack of aggressive him, because it
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is that as well, but it was also the Calves
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just saying, hey man, somebody else got to do it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And it ended up being a mouse turned end up
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: being Aaron Eie Smith for a lot of this, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, for him to come alive again
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and for him to miss that free throw, get the rebound.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Step back.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Rick car Leff not burning the time
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: out and letting him play straight up and hitting that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: shot and hitting the big balls celebration. I know he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: gotta get fat about ten or fifteen thousand dollars for,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but damn.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It is worth it. What a game, What a game.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I love the energy.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: When they were down by eighteen points or so in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: this game, they felt like they were giving up offensive rebounds.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: They were just not looking like a team that was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: ready to win a game. And like I always feel like,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and I ain't got no stats to prove this, when
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the opposing team is dealing with so many injuries and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you're already up by a game, you have to you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: have to win because in this case, full stop, the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Cavs are a better team. In full strength with they
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: have won this series. I think they probably would have.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But like the pay I'm not saying the Pace are
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: bad team any means, because since Jam one they were
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: like the top four team in the league. But when
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you have a team back against the wall with injuries,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage because you never know Game three, those.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Dudes could be back, and we just squandered away a.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Possibility of going up too long because we didn't have
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: our foot on their next And Bendig Mathron was one
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the guys that when they were giving up offensive rebounds,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and so he is fighting over screens. He is competing, competing, competing,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and that is something that will show up in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: box score. But damn it, I recognized it very early on.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He's one of the few people that I felt like,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: kep his head steady when the Calves are going on
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: this this cavalletch if you will, and then eventually they
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: chip away, chip away, chip away, to ultimately they pull
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: off the big comeback. I thought that also, like, there
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: are things you could take away from the Cass perspective
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that you, I mean, more victories at this point, you're
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: down to oh, don't mean anything but like Pascal Siakam,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: at some point was relegated to kind of just exist
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on the court because they did a really good job
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of not allowing him to get the switches that he wanted,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like there are certain things and Game of one they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: switched almost everything. A Game number two, they did switch
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a lot as well, but they also kind of dictated,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: at least in the first first two quarters of this game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They made the Pacers play their game on the defensive
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, and I thought eventually the Pacers
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just got smarter and eventually generated some shots.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: That they really liked. But damn, the moral victories don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: mean a lot.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: If you're a Cavs fan right now, you know this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is your best chance to win a championship post Bron Bron,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And now you are down about what you're down by?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: What is this? And my Twiggs has been there the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: whole time? Is that my other monitor glaring?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I have no idea anyway, big time shot from Tyre's Halliburton.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I think it was Carson from Nerd SESSH And I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: ain't fact take this car soon, so you better I'll
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: be lying. He said something along the lines that Tyre's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Halliburn and clutch Jane is real because he's made ten
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of eleven game tying slash game winning shots that don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: even sound like a real stat, but he's from from
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Nerd sessh and that's what they're about stats.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And shit, So it's real.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And I know we can talk about this to the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: cows come home. Most overrated player in the league just
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: made no sense. And granted, of the ninety people that voted,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it was about twelve or thirteen people that said it,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and that could have been one team that could have
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: been the entirety of the Bucks roster.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeat.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We hate him for what he did last year. He's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: overrated as heir, he really is nice. And one thing
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I will say about Tyrese hmm, maybe not so much
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I'll hold on that. I hold on that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I was gonna talk about his defensive side of the ball.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm a hold on that for the time being. I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a hold on that for the time being. But yeah, amazing,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: amazing game for the Pacers. Now they're two games away
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: from being in the conference finals, and the way things
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: are going, man, whoo, I know that there's gonna be
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of conversations about their competition in the postseason
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: over the last two years. Personally, I couldn't give less
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: less of a damn. I said the same thing last year.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: What the hell are they supposed to do? What are
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they supposed to do? I don't even know the play
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that Evan Mobley got injured on, but the play that
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Hunter got injured on is a ridiculous chase down,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: block on the ball, awkward ended, awkward falling. There's nothing
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they can do about that. There's Garland's injured before it is.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What are they supposed to do? Just give the Calves
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a win because they're injured. No, we're gonna play our
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: ass off.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: We're gonna win.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So I respect them. I know a lot of people
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: may not in the NBA Twitter world. For me, personally,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they're winning basketball games. They're winning basketball games, and it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it's not like this is a team that was a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: thirty seven win team in the regular season.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Go look at them.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Stats Man Top four net ratings since January first, Number
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: eight defenses January first, the Dolphins was already going and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Tyre's Halliburn's averaging twenty two and twelve over something along
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: those lines.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: They are a good team. I say that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I say that, but I also do believe that the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Casts probably win this series all things consider, if they
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: were healthy. But we will never really know, I guess.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Let's quickly shift over to the second game of the night,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the Draymond Green jump shooting extravaganza. He hit four in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the first half and it just bricked everything after that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And it was like Pierre's in the groups that like,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you gotta laugh, bet them threes. I'm like, I'm not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: touching that dog. I know he's not about to hit
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: no more. He exhausted all of his street from the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: shooter for this series hour soon, but no, Draymond was
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: great both sides of the floor, I would say. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: then Jimmy Butler, even though he always still finds a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: way to be passive, he.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Ended up with twenty shots in this game.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You know, there are certain times that he gets past
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: his first defender and he's trying to play make more
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: than he is trying to shoot. And sometimes I just
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: want Jimmy to just go up. But an amazing Jimmy game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Steph Kurk comes out.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: He's incredible.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: For the first quarter, he has three threes. He looks phenomenal.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Then he's holding his handy and obviously I'm not a doctor.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Damn it, I didn't. I'm very very I'm as far
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: away from a doctor as you can be. But a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: hamstring always scares me. A hamstring from my experience as
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a watcher of this sport, it can be I'm back
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in two days, I'm back in three weeks. Hell, when
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we were in high school a thousand years ago, my
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: boy Mike, you know him from Numbers on the Board podcast,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: he had just won the starting spot. He starts his
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: first three games of the season, he ends up hurting
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: his handy. Mike is basically out for three weeks now.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He don't got NBA trainers and a super superhuman body
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: like NBA professions go. But I watched my boy go
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: from the starter on this team to the knife man
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: because of his hand and he couldn't.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Run no more. So I'm I'm fingers crossing.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I'm praying that this is something small to we have
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to even think about it, but it definitely changes this series.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I know that the Warriors ended up closing things out,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and I thought that all things considered, I mean, they
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: ran so many different lineup constructions. My boy Steve Currs
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: out there trying everything and anything.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised. We ain't see Kevin Knox to night. Super surprised.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: But when you get Pat Spencer giving him ten good minutes,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: John Dick Andmingo was it. You get ten good minutes
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: from Pat Spencer who's doing these little hook shots and everything,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and you know, the defensive side of the ball is
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: really where you hang your hat off your Warriors guy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Without Steph Curry on the floor, and I thought they
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job there, but without Steph Curry is
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: hard for me to believe that this is going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: be a series they can win. That's why we're fingers
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: crossed just as a watcher the sport that we want
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to see Steph Curry be healthy and okay, because if
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you're the Wolves, I think there was a lot of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: parts in this game where they were just disgusting, like
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: out of control, undisciplined. Nasrit of course gets nineteen points
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to their second leading scorer for the Tembles. There's a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: few fast breaks, so I'm like, nas can you slow
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the hell down? He's dribbling off his own feed, big shoes,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: big knees, just hitting everything, and they played a sloppy game,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and they also shot seventeen percent from three.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So of the four playoff rounds we had the.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I don't even know I can call the underdog the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: role team has won Game one and every single one
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of these, and the question becomes, should the Celtics be worried,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Should okay See be worried? Should the Calves now down
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to oh? And should the Timbles be worried? Of all
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of these things, I will say, out of all of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: these teams, if I'm ranking who should be worried the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: most is obviously the Calves.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I probably go hmm. Number two is tough.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say the Celtics because I still
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: think the Celtics could win this series. I think if
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about the Celtics, it's the next series in
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the series after that. Because Porzingis's stuff is real, I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: don't know what the hell was going on Porzingis, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: then Jalen Browns just does not look good as a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: basketball player right now, So I just don't know what
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to expect from that. Okay See had a super blunder
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: at the end of their game, and they're not gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: have the best player in the series, but I still
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: do trust them to come back and win that series.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's the way I'm putting it. I'm going
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: one Calves most worried.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I guess Celtics two, even though I still think the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Celtic can win the championship.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: OKAC three and then Minnesota four.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I watched this game and I didn't think there's like, oh,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: this is a death sensus for the Minnesota Tells.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong. Only time will tell.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: But when you shoot this bad as a team, when
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you're star player, Anthony Rods goes with two points in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the first half and then he has to shift his
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: game because his jump shots not falling to be strictly
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: at the rim.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It's just I trust them a little bit more.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And maybe I just need another game sample size from
• 12:26
