Speaker 1: not matter. I promise you we're gonna talk about all
1:43
Speaker 1: the games. This video was supposed to be a seventy
1:46
Speaker 1: six or lave video, but what the Wolves did has
1:48
Speaker 1: to be the top of the conversation. Again, six of fans,
1:51
Speaker 1: just chill. I promise you, I got you. This Minnesota
1:54
Speaker 1: Temwolves game is a reminder to me of why I
1:58
Speaker 1: love this sport so much, or while I love the
2:00
Speaker 1: league so much, because for them to be that undermanned
2:03
Speaker 1: and for guys to be playing that haven't really played
2:05
Speaker 1: all season long, for them to be stars and their
2:08
Speaker 1: role and be a team that a lot of people,
2:10
Speaker 1: me included, looked at as one of the top contenders
2:13
Speaker 1: in the league. It just shows you this thing Like
2:16
Speaker 1: down the Stretch, I came to Minnesota, tub was fan
2:19
Speaker 1: just for this game because I wanted to see this
2:21
Speaker 1: ultra underdog go against maybe the best player in the world,
2:24
Speaker 1: a three time MVP, and win that game on their
2:27
Speaker 1: home court. For them fans. There's two times and Jada
2:31
Speaker 1: McDaniels young NBA career were some crazy what felt like
2:35
Speaker 1: in real time crazy. Quote was sad, and that quote
2:38
Speaker 1: ended up being true. They got Kevin Durant, we got
2:41
Speaker 1: Jada McDaniels. Sounds crazy, and then they went out there
2:45
Speaker 1: and took care of business against Kevin Durrant and the Phenix.
2:47
Speaker 1: Sounds right. A couple games to the series, Jada McDaniel said, yeah,
2:51
Speaker 1: our goals has go at the bad defenders him, him, him, him, him,
2:54
Speaker 1: and him, and then in the close out game without
2:56
Speaker 1: the all NBA player without his backup and without that
3:00
Speaker 1: point guard. He say, I got us with thirty two
3:02
Speaker 1: of them things. And not only just that, I'm gonna
3:04
Speaker 1: look at an all NBA point guard on the other side,
3:06
Speaker 1: which Jamal Murray the season and say, oh, he's gonna
3:08
Speaker 1: shoot fourth for seventeen. It's gonna get so bad for
3:10
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray that there's gonna be a stretch in the
3:12
Speaker 1: beginning of the fourth quarter where his coach decides not
3:15
Speaker 1: to go with him but instead goes to guy Tys Jones,
3:17
Speaker 1: who they even mentioned the broadcast was on his third
3:20
Speaker 1: team this season alone. That was Jaden McDaniels today. And
3:26
Speaker 1: the reason I'm wearing this hat is is because Terryn
3:29
Speaker 1: Shannon Jr. Chicago's very oon, came out to play and yeah,
3:32
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't realize he took twenty shots. I'm
3:34
Speaker 1: just looking at the bosco right now, but a lot
3:36
Speaker 1: of his baskets timely baskets and once and he was
3:39
Speaker 1: basically doing his best Ayo Deasumu impersonation. And I swear
3:43
Speaker 1: to you, both of those guys hooped like they're from Chicago,
3:46
Speaker 1: just straightened. There's like that. There's the thing. You remember
3:48
Speaker 1: when Walt Lemon Junior played for the bull No, you
3:50
Speaker 1: don't remember that. Walt Lemon Junr. Is another Chicago and
3:52
Speaker 1: played for the Bulls and looked like dead rose for
3:54
Speaker 1: three games. Like these guys with this athleticism, straight line
3:58
Speaker 1: drivers get to the basket, fit at the rim. That's
4:00
Speaker 1: what Terry Cent and Jr. Is. That's what I would
4:02
Speaker 1: assume who is. And that's what Chicago really a bodies
4:04
Speaker 1: is a basketball city. This was a great, great game,
4:09
Speaker 1: and I love that like this, this is Chris Finch's
4:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what the word is, magnum opus. Is
4:14
Speaker 1: that maybe I'm misusing that this is Chris Finch's best
4:17
Speaker 1: coach game. In my opinion, given the circumstances, given the
4:20
Speaker 1: stakes is honestly speaking, this was their game seven. There
4:24
Speaker 1: is no losing this and going into Denver winn at
4:26
Speaker 1: least in my personal opinion. I guess anything could have happened,
4:29
Speaker 1: but all the momentum would again would have been on
4:31
Speaker 1: Dinverent's side, and they would have had that home court advantage,
4:33
Speaker 1: that crowd going crazy, No no, no, we got to
4:35
Speaker 1: take care of business today. And the thing that absolutely
4:38
Speaker 1: killed the Nuggets amongst a lot of different things is
4:40
Speaker 1: the fact that the tem Wolves were completely okay with
4:42
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna run all three of our big together.
4:45
Speaker 1: And that was something that at least last year. I
4:47
Speaker 1: got to look it up right now. Last year that
4:49
Speaker 1: lineup did not run well together. They very rarely played
4:51
Speaker 1: it for that reason, Loan, it's just pretty clunky at
4:54
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Julius Random, nas Read and Rigobert.
4:56
Speaker 1: In the regular season, they only played for eight minutes
5:00
Speaker 1: together and it was damn good and like they got
5:03
Speaker 1: some shooting luck. Yeah, their team shot forty five percent
5:06
Speaker 1: from three in those forty eight minutes. So they didn't
5:09
Speaker 1: run it together at all really in the regular season.
5:11
Speaker 1: I mean that's eighty two games and they really had
5:12
Speaker 1: forty eight minutes out of it. They just didn't really
5:14
Speaker 1: do it. But they had no choice today because of
5:16
Speaker 1: again all of the injuries associated and ain't even mentioned
5:19
Speaker 1: Cayle Anderson, who played in the last couple of games.
5:21
Speaker 1: He's out with an injury as well. So they had
5:23
Speaker 1: to go out there and make things happen. Rudy Gobert
5:26
Speaker 1: on the short roll had two ridiculous passes and now
5:29
Speaker 1: I know that we talk about, like last couple of
5:30
Speaker 1: years when he hit that one legged turnaround jump shot
5:35
Speaker 1: that was like the best shot of his career and
5:37
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's gonna beat that. But the two
5:39
Speaker 1: passes that he hit on a short roll, one to
5:41
Speaker 1: the corner to nas reed and one was like a
5:44
Speaker 1: wrap around pass. I think it might have been the
5:46
Speaker 1: Terrans injury. I forget who was to two of the
5:48
Speaker 1: best passes you'll see Rudy Gobert ever ever make. And
5:53
Speaker 1: MVP or runner up to MVP or top three MVP candidate,
5:56
Speaker 1: the Kodiokis ultimately has a really solid game here. But
6:00
Speaker 1: I still do believe, all things considered, Rudy Gobert played
6:02
Speaker 1: a fantastic game against him tonight. I cannot give enough
6:06
Speaker 1: flowers to the Minnesota Timbules now to get San Antonio
6:09
Speaker 1: in the next round. And we can talk about whether
6:11
Speaker 1: or not Anthony Average will be back and what does
6:13
Speaker 1: it mean if he is, what does it mean if
6:14
Speaker 1: he's not. That's something that we will do on the
6:16
Speaker 1: podcast or tune into all of the podcasts and the
6:18
Speaker 1: radio show that I do every Monday, because that's where
6:21
Speaker 1: you get the bigger, bigger conversation. He's just like the quick,
6:24
Speaker 1: hidden reactions to everything, even Jalen Clark coming in and
6:27
Speaker 1: just adding a lot of defense. Even hit a three
6:30
Speaker 1: pointer in this game. He airbot went too, but he
6:31
Speaker 1: hit a three pointer in this game. Uncle Mike Conley.
6:34
Speaker 1: He had six rebounds, and some of the rebounds is
6:36
Speaker 1: like him straight going up and get it. He had
6:38
Speaker 1: the one block on Cam Johnson that wasn't counted as block,
6:42
Speaker 1: but damn it. We should give short kings the block
6:44
Speaker 1: even when they do foul. What an amazing, amazing, amazing,
6:47
Speaker 1: amazing game for the Minnesota Tembules. Man, this was all heard,
6:51
Speaker 1: all schematics, and people just wanted it more. I know
6:54
Speaker 1: it sounds cliche and it's not basketball and analysis, but
6:58
Speaker 1: that team looked like they wanted every single possession more
7:02
Speaker 1: than a different Nuggets, especially down the stretch man on
7:05
Speaker 1: the other side. About a month now victory laughing, because
7:10
Speaker 1: you know, about a month and a half and ago ago,
7:12
Speaker 1: I made a video saying, hey, I'm worried about the
7:14
Speaker 1: different Nuggets. I said it for a lot of different reasons.
7:17
Speaker 1: I said that their clutch offense was worse this year
7:20
Speaker 1: than any other year under the Yokic era. I talked
7:22
Speaker 1: about how their defense was poorous and they held a
7:24
Speaker 1: team to what one hundred and ten today, so that's
7:27
Speaker 1: not the worst case scenario, but again not that great.
7:29
Speaker 1: So their defense was porous. Aaron Gordon was injured at
7:32
Speaker 1: the time that I made that video, and what happened again,
7:35
Speaker 1: we got to the postseason, Aaron Gordon is injured. So
7:38
Speaker 1: there's just so many red flags, but we all put
7:41
Speaker 1: them to the side because it is the different Nuggets
7:42
Speaker 1: and they do have one of the best players that we'reying.
7:44
Speaker 1: Oh and Jamal Murray's playing at the all NBA level,
7:46
Speaker 1: so we still do believe in them and all of
7:48
Speaker 1: those things that I was worried about, and that video
7:51
Speaker 1: came to show his head in this series, came to
7:53
Speaker 1: show his head in this game alone. You know this
7:57
Speaker 1: is about to be interesting offseason for them because I
8:00
Speaker 1: don't remind you Christian Brown, he signed a four year,
8:04
Speaker 1: five year, one hundred and twenty five million dollar contract.
8:07
Speaker 1: Guess why, guys, that contract don't start until next season.
8:11
Speaker 1: He was basically unplayable tonight. Basically unplayable tonight. The bench
8:17
Speaker 1: other than Tim Hardaway Junior, unplayable Bruce Brown had the
8:21
Speaker 1: off arm push off that was a momentum killer. Like
8:24
Speaker 1: I said, Tyas Jones played for three teams and he
8:26
Speaker 1: ended up playing real minutes in this on what the
8:28
Speaker 1: hell is going on? Jones valentunis the best backup center
8:31
Speaker 1: in the yokich Era, can only play two minutes in
8:34
Speaker 1: a game that really really matters. It's that's that's tough.
8:40
Speaker 1: David Adaman, hey man, he got it. I can't wait
8:42
Speaker 1: to see his press conference because he be he he
8:45
Speaker 1: he rubs me the wrong way. Sometimes in these press
8:47
Speaker 1: conferences they win a game or they lose a game.
8:49
Speaker 1: He gets some really good questions from people in the audience,
8:51
Speaker 1: a journalists in the audience, and he just has this
8:53
Speaker 1: very snark reaction to a lot of different things. They
8:55
Speaker 1: win a game, even before he's asked a question, he's
8:58
Speaker 1: saying something that was weird to me. So like, I
8:59
Speaker 1: can't wait to see his spost game innve on this one,
9:01
Speaker 1: because oh my goodness, this different Nuggets team that was
9:04
Speaker 1: the best offense in the league this year and just
9:07
Speaker 1: historically a really good offensive unit, regardless of who's the
9:10
Speaker 1: coach or whatever. They over this entire series was lackluster
9:15
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball, and in this game,
9:17
Speaker 1: I made a tweet that was like David Adaman's playbook
9:20
Speaker 1: is two man game, two man game, two man game,
9:23
Speaker 1: two man game, two men it over and over and
9:26
Speaker 1: over and over and over. And two and a half
9:29
Speaker 1: years ago, I remember listening to a podcast from the
9:32
Speaker 1: guys at d NVR. Oh my god, I can't remember
9:35
Speaker 1: his name. My apologies, but they do great, great, great,
9:39
Speaker 1: I mean great, great, great work over at the DNVR.
9:41
Speaker 1: If you are fit in the Differ Nuggets. We just
9:43
Speaker 1: want to get into Differ Nuggets things with writing and podcasts,
9:45
Speaker 1: and that is a place to be. I remember two
9:47
Speaker 1: and a half years ago they were talking about in
9:49
Speaker 1: the podcast, is the one thing that had made that
9:51
Speaker 1: it changed the Denver Nuggets as a team is that
9:54
Speaker 1: they became too heavily reliant on the two man game.
9:57
Speaker 1: It is one of the best two man games in
9:59
Speaker 1: the league. You do a time and time again, over
10:02
Speaker 1: and over over, it loses its effectiveness. And I feel
10:05
Speaker 1: like that's what we got to today because that two
10:06
Speaker 1: man game, two man game, two man game, two man game,
10:09
Speaker 1: two man game repetition wasn't even just with Jamal Murray,
10:12
Speaker 1: it was Tyas Jones, it was Bruce A. Brown. That
10:16
Speaker 1: was the entirety of the occasional. You get some Cam
10:18
Speaker 1: Johnson open three points off the two man game occasion.
10:20
Speaker 1: You get Cam Johnson rolling to the basket or cut
10:22
Speaker 1: into the basket and trying to poke on somebody at
10:24
Speaker 1: drawing a foul, and so on and so forth. But
10:25
Speaker 1: it got it was really really lackless. So let me
10:27
Speaker 1: quickly go to cleaning the glass, our favorite, one of
10:30
Speaker 1: our favorite outlets when it comes to all things statistics.
10:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go playoffs. This team in the playoffs is yeah,
10:37
Speaker 1: one o nine offensive rating, and that's not counting tonight's game,
10:40
Speaker 1: which I'm assuming it's gonna drop because they didn't eve
10:41
Speaker 1: get to one hundred points. It's a lot to be desired.
10:46
Speaker 1: And there's a guy that came in with just three
10:48
Speaker 1: games left of last season, if you'll remember, they going
10:50
Speaker 1: a decent little playoff run. So they say, hey, he's
10:53
Speaker 1: our guy, that's our guy this season overall, again, it
10:57
Speaker 1: ended on what a twelve game win streak this season
10:59
Speaker 1: is a huge, huge miss. And you have to ask yourself,
11:02
Speaker 1: and this is a broader picture, and the question I
11:04
Speaker 1: will ask you, and this is something I asked on
11:05
Speaker 1: the radio on Monday, well before the series was even over.
11:08
Speaker 1: I said on that show, if the Denver Nuggets do
11:10
Speaker 1: not come back and win this series, because at that point,
11:12
Speaker 1: there was no there was no Anthony Edwards, there was
11:14
Speaker 1: no Dante, and I thought there was a real chance
11:16
Speaker 1: Denver could come back and steal this series, like many
11:18
Speaker 1: people did. I mean, they were heavily favored tonight even
11:20
Speaker 1: though they were on the road. That if you lose
11:22
Speaker 1: in the first round, which again is the worst case
11:24
Speaker 1: scenario for a team with their best player in their prime,
11:28
Speaker 1: how can you convince yourself that this corps can come
11:31
Speaker 1: back next season and try to run it back with
11:33
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon continually having years where he is injured when
11:37
Speaker 1: it matters the most. From the San Antonio Spurs looking
11:41
Speaker 1: like they're about to take over the league, and oh,
11:43
Speaker 1: the team at the top, the Oklahoma City Thunder, also
11:45
Speaker 1: in your conference and they not moving anytime soon. So
11:48
Speaker 1: do you believe that you have this this core right
11:51
Speaker 1: now can beat both of those teams on a roll
11:54
Speaker 1: to a championship? Again, I don't know, And that is
11:57
Speaker 1: a conversation they would have to have. I thought going
12:00
Speaker 1: to the season, they had one of their best offseason.
12:01
Speaker 1: The team that they had built was the best construction
12:04
Speaker 1: of talent around the Kolokis. Cam Johnson season started off
12:07
Speaker 1: there slow, ultimately ended up being okay, and then in
12:09
Speaker 1: this game, I mean he was the second best player
12:11
Speaker 1: on the court outside of the Kolokis for their team.
12:14
Speaker 1: But the acquisition as a whole feel like maybe not
12:17
Speaker 1: the greatest, consider you gave up twenty thirty thirty one.
12:20
Speaker 1: You gotta figure out what she's gonna do with Pyton
12:22
Speaker 1: Watson right who's restricted free agent. And again Christian Brown's
12:25
Speaker 1: contract hasn't even started just yet. So again that maybe
12:29
Speaker 1: a bigger picture conversation we could have later on the
12:31
Speaker 1: channel on the podcast, But very underwhelming into the season
12:35
Speaker 1: for the Dinver Nuggets. They had every advantage you could
12:37
Speaker 1: have imagined in the series and still ended up losing.
12:41
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jaden McDaniels, Mike do I even got
12:44
Speaker 1: a jersey. I'm gonna got a Wolfs Jersey's gonna be AYO.
12:47
Speaker 1: But you know, idiot what it is? Wow wow wow, Okay,
12:50
Speaker 1: flip the things real quick. I promise seven tens will
12:52
Speaker 1: get you. But I want to quickly talk about the Nicks,
12:54
Speaker 1: who wraped up their series versus the Atlanta Hawks. I mean,
12:57
Speaker 1: we go taggy stwo together. Actually, a couple of days ago,
13:01
Speaker 1: I had said, man, the Eastern Conference is so weird
13:03
Speaker 1: because nobody's really standing out as the team to be
13:06
Speaker 1: outside of the Celtics. And since then, the Celtics have
13:09
Speaker 1: lost two games, and then your Knicks have won two
13:11
Speaker 1: games in very, very convincing fashion. I mean this one
13:14
Speaker 1: they were up bout sixty at one point, so that's
13:15
Speaker 1: as convinced as you can get. But even last game
13:18
Speaker 1: on Saturday, when they play against each other, I mean,
13:20
Speaker 1: the Knicks run the drivers at the entire time. Tonight
13:23
Speaker 1: was a no show for the Atlanta Hawks, and the
13:24
Speaker 1: Knicks just looked great. I think it's amazing that Michel
13:27
Speaker 1: Bridges had his best game, because my goodness, I mean,
13:30
Speaker 1: he was abasing seven point two points per game in
13:32
Speaker 1: the series before tonight. He ended up with twenty four
13:33
Speaker 1: points and ten of twelve in the field. He was
13:35
Speaker 1: talking to tracks and I'm like, okay, maybe the yips,
13:38
Speaker 1: so whatever the hell he was going through was over
13:39
Speaker 1: and he could use that momentum to go into the
13:41
Speaker 1: next series versus Boston or the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
13:44
Speaker 1: Odjiananobi is still somehow completely underpaid and underrated, even though
13:48
Speaker 1: he's making forty million dollars. A guy's a dog on
13:50
Speaker 1: both sides of the floor of full fire HydroD defensively switching,
13:53
Speaker 1: playing up to positions, everything you could possibly imagine. And
13:56
Speaker 1: I love when the Knicks have this attack that is
13:59
Speaker 1: more than just hold jay Len Brunt to take us home.
14:01
Speaker 1: Oh jay Len Brunt to do this so amazing game
14:03
Speaker 1: for New York Knicks made the rest of the viewing
14:05
Speaker 1: experience for the night so much easier because I ain't
14:07
Speaker 1: have to try to fumble between you watch the two
14:08
Speaker 1: games at the same time, because this game is over
14:10
Speaker 1: in the first four minutes of the game, a twenty
14:12
Speaker 1: eight to two run. Yeah, it's gonna be hard to
14:15
Speaker 1: come back from that. Atlanta. You know, you know, you
14:19
Speaker 1: young put together team with an offseason of a lot
14:22
Speaker 1: of decisions. They got a Pelicans pick coming through, but
14:24
Speaker 1: we don't know what that's gonna look like. They gotta
14:26
Speaker 1: figure out what you're gonna do with johathank Aminga. The
14:28
Speaker 1: biggest story for me is that Zachary reached I say,
14:30
Speaker 1: could not play until this team is now by sixty
14:32
Speaker 1: in garbage time minutes a sixteen minutes. We're completely garbage
14:34
Speaker 1: time and that's a little bit scary for a guy
14:36
Speaker 1: that was just drafted first overall just a year ago.
14:39
Speaker 1: I think you should trade them to the Bulls. Personally,
14:41
Speaker 1: that would be what I would do for like a
14:43
Speaker 1: Trey Jones, because you could use some point guard playkers
14:46
Speaker 1: after a couple of great games from Cizia McCullum in
14:48
Speaker 1: the middle of the series, kind of a no show
14:49
Speaker 1: for the rest. Maybe not the greatest start to Jaylen
14:52
Speaker 1: Johnson's playoff because I know he's been in the playoffs before,
14:54
Speaker 1: but I'm not count those because he was averaging five
14:55
Speaker 1: minutes per game. But the first run of Jayalen Johnson
14:58
Speaker 1: be in the postseason could be a lot better. I've
15:00
Speaker 1: already seen people turn their nose to and it wasn't
15:03
Speaker 1: a great series at all. But also want to remind y'all,
15:05
Speaker 1: he is still super young, and even this year was
15:08
Speaker 1: a breakout year. Who knows how much he can get better.
15:10
Speaker 1: We've talked about it all. He's alone. The guy's ridiculous
15:12
Speaker 1: in transition, but when we get to the half court,
15:14
Speaker 1: he still got a long way to go. And you
15:16
Speaker 1: saw that in the series or mostproof player Kealasa the
15:18
Speaker 1: Walker basically didn't give us a game, if I'm not mistaken,
15:21
Speaker 1: off the top of my mind, when he looked like
15:22
Speaker 1: the guy that would just help them win fourteen or
15:24
Speaker 1: fifteen games a little bit before. So interesting, young core,
15:29
Speaker 1: like all the pieces necessary to maybe buy in if
15:32
Speaker 1: they really wanted to. We'll see what the draft does
15:34
Speaker 1: for them. Thank you to the landah Hawks for the season,
15:36
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see what this next team
15:38
Speaker 1: does because again we're talking about no team really looking
15:41
Speaker 1: like the team to beat out East. Maybe it really
15:43
Speaker 1: is the Knicks all of a sudden because the Celtics
15:46
Speaker 1: lose again to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. It's a
15:50
Speaker 1: weird year because the Eastern Conference has the seventh and
15:55
Speaker 1: eighth seed are both different than maybe any seven and
15:58
Speaker 1: AHC we've seen as of recent where the eight seed
16:01
Speaker 1: is one game away from winning their series. In the
16:03
Speaker 1: seventh seed, it's also won game away from winning their series.
16:05
Speaker 1: Where if 'orlando Magic are completely healthy this season, you
16:09
Speaker 1: can argue that might be a forty eight to fifty
16:10
Speaker 1: one team, and one hundred percent of the seventy six
16:12
Speaker 1: ers are healthy for this entire season. That's the fifty
16:14
Speaker 1: win team too. So these two teams are here because
16:16
Speaker 1: of injury, are here because of dysfunction in the regular season,
16:20
Speaker 1: and boom, now we're healthy at the right time. I
16:23
Speaker 1: guess the magic lost Frances but you get what I'm saying.
16:25
Speaker 1: Now we're healthy at the right time. Joel Embiid dog
16:27
Speaker 1: joelan Beid in this game, just I guess they ended
16:30
Speaker 1: up being nineteen points at the end of the day.
16:32
Speaker 1: Don't look amazing, But it's Joel Embiid's impact. It goes
16:35
Speaker 1: so much greater than the nineteen points that he just
16:37
Speaker 1: provided because the Knicks, I'm sorry this Celtics don't have
16:40
Speaker 1: a single answer for him. They brought in big Voots
16:44
Speaker 1: for the simple fact that he is the biggest body
16:46
Speaker 1: that they can get out there on the market for
16:48
Speaker 1: what ended up being Anthony Simons a pick thirty eight,
16:50
Speaker 1: not the most awful thing, and then they go get
16:52
Speaker 1: Joel and Biid where like he's picking apart him, Nimy Cayta,
16:55
Speaker 1: Luca Garza. It doesn't matter because that's the type of
16:58
Speaker 1: talent joelan Media is. Even without it appendix where he's
17:01
Speaker 1: seventy percent sixty percent, he is still more dominant than
17:04
Speaker 1: any other player that the Boston Celts could put on
17:07
Speaker 1: him defensively, and he's gonna be dominant and you gotta
17:09
Speaker 1: send them to which is something that they didn't do
17:11
Speaker 1: a ton. They kind of played them single coverage a
17:12
Speaker 1: lot of times and maybe some late digs that opens
17:15
Speaker 1: up the game so much more. This seventy six team
17:17
Speaker 1: is a good team, right, They just weren't healthy this season.
17:20
Speaker 1: Paul George Mis's twenty five games for I forget why
17:24
Speaker 1: what if Paul George me my goodness, he's still elite defensively,
17:30
Speaker 1: which is like I even saw people on Twitter just
17:34
Speaker 1: this just during this game, like man low key, Paul
17:37
Speaker 1: George gets suspend. It seem like a plus for the
17:39
Speaker 1: team if you think about it, because he actually got
17:42
Speaker 1: like he only play thirty one thirty seven games. He
17:44
Speaker 1: got nice legs out there, you know, and he is
17:47
Speaker 1: straight up making it hell for like Jalen Brown to
17:51
Speaker 1: straight up looking like you remember he was like third
17:54
Speaker 1: in DPO. Why his last his year in Okay, see
17:57
Speaker 1: he kind of looking like some of that. And you
17:59
Speaker 1: add on the fact that like, like I am not
18:02
Speaker 1: exaggerating when I say this, I mean maybe I am,
18:03
Speaker 1: because that's what we do right here. The only thing
18:07
Speaker 1: you could do against Tyre's Maxi is pray that he misses.
18:11
Speaker 1: They ran every coverage that you could possibly run, and
18:15
Speaker 1: maybe he saw twice he's like, all right, I got this.
18:18
Speaker 1: It's like somewhat of a super the man. Only thing
18:20
Speaker 1: you can really hope is that Tyre's Maxi misses a
18:23
Speaker 1: shot because you're not doing anything to make it difficult
18:26
Speaker 1: for him. And that's nuts because he's like, what six'
18:29
Speaker 1: three on a good, day but he still is ridiculously
18:32
Speaker 1: smart out there and ridiculously. Talented LIKE i think a
18:35
Speaker 1: lot of the times when people think about the super
18:38
Speaker 1: smart players across The, association they usually attach attach that
18:41
Speaker 1: to like. Passing. Right of, course these guys are also super,
18:44
Speaker 1: smart but Like Lebron james Lucadncs Nicole, jochis they find
18:48
Speaker 1: the right time to pass this ball right here to
18:49
Speaker 1: two steps, ahead which is one hundred percent. True but
18:51
Speaker 1: a guy Like Tyre's maxi is also super. Smart his
18:54
Speaker 1: adaptability when it comes to the defensive sets that he's,
18:57
Speaker 1: seeing and when he has him And joeln be, together
19:00
Speaker 1: now opens up the game even more because you're worried
19:02
Speaker 1: About Jojoe, way you also have An ALL nba point
19:04
Speaker 1: guard here doing his. Thing AND i think the stat
19:07
Speaker 1: says that WHEN. Vj edgecomb hits a three in the,
19:09
Speaker 1: series they. Win and guess what he did. Today he
19:12
Speaker 1: hit a three And drumming hit one two they waved.
19:15
Speaker 1: Off AND i personally, think no matter how much time
19:18
Speaker 1: is on the, clock If drummer hits a, three it
19:20
Speaker 1: deserves to count what it. Performs from the seventy, six
19:23
Speaker 1: they got to go back To boston and maybe close this.
19:24
Speaker 1: Out and now this is just like, whoa because, again
19:26
Speaker 1: coming into this, playoffs everybody's, like, yeah the team to
19:29
Speaker 1: beat Out east was The celtics Because Jason tatum came,
19:32
Speaker 1: back he looked, amazing jay Leb brown just played An
19:34
Speaker 1: ALL nba first team. Level they gotta beat the team
19:37
Speaker 1: to beat and then now and they're just like, this
19:39
Speaker 1: this was another game where they shot poorly a lot of.
19:41
Speaker 1: Times their losses ended up being shooting. Variants BUT i
19:45
Speaker 1: don't feel like that's what happened tonight two of the other.
19:47
Speaker 1: LOSSES i could see that tonight's game, again they shot
19:49
Speaker 1: twenty nine, percent BUT i feel like it was deeper than.
19:52
Speaker 1: THAT i feel like that twenty nine percent wasn't that all.
19:54
Speaker 1: Game they may have been shooting thirty five thirty six
19:57
Speaker 1: percent until they threw the tie land and decided to
19:59
Speaker 1: go with Like shireman And Ron harper and stuff and jal.
20:04
Speaker 1: Jayleb brown gotta figure something out because right now he
20:07
Speaker 1: is getting his cookies taken and they're really calling that
20:12
Speaker 1: arm bar that he does time and time again. Again
20:14
Speaker 1: Paul george is all up in his grill and a
20:17
Speaker 1: lot of the memes that were said About Jaylen brown
20:19
Speaker 1: throughout the course of his career about his ball, handling,
20:21
Speaker 1: nobility his left hand and this and, that, well you
20:24
Speaker 1: really are watching stuff like this when the team is
20:27
Speaker 1: playing him single coverage and it is a great defensive
20:29
Speaker 1: player in front of, him like A Paul. GEORGE a
20:31
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff turns out and be, like oh,
20:33
Speaker 1: yeah and this is the what thirdy in the row
20:37
Speaker 1: with the on off numbers when it's just him and
20:39
Speaker 1: No tatum look really different than when it's Not tatum
20:41
Speaker 1: and know Him tatum. Again he was seventeen eleven and.
20:44
Speaker 1: Three not the Greatest tatum, game but he was the
20:48
Speaker 1: best player on the team again, tonight and it's like
20:52
Speaker 1: coming back From. Achilles it is admirable That Jayson tatum
20:54
Speaker 1: could still be the best player on the court on
20:56
Speaker 1: for his, team but it's also kind of scary at
20:59
Speaker 1: the same time that we get to the postseason And Jaylen,
21:01
Speaker 1: brown who led the league and two pointers made its
21:03
Speaker 1: struggling to do. Anything Derk white hit three, threes which is,
21:07
Speaker 1: great but all see was long leading up to, this
21:09
Speaker 1: it wasn't really that and them not having a single
21:13
Speaker 1: option For joel And beewoll simultaneously not having a single
21:16
Speaker 1: coverage to Hold TYRE'S maxi makes it. Scary and the
21:20
Speaker 1: one thing they have to hope that happens in game
21:22
Speaker 1: number seven is that they hit the three pointers at
21:24
Speaker 1: the same rate that they Hit what game was a game?
21:26
Speaker 1: Five let me, See, no they couldn't have be gave.
21:28
Speaker 1: FIVE i think they lost a five the rate that
21:30
Speaker 1: they lost the First Kate joela b came back when
21:33
Speaker 1: they shot the most threes in the history of. Basketball
21:35
Speaker 1: it's like twenty four main. Threes they gotta hope that
21:37
Speaker 1: they have a good shoot night like, that BECAUSE i
21:39
Speaker 1: think the seventy six of smell blood in the. WATER
21:41
Speaker 1: i truly do think they. Do and if we see
21:44
Speaker 1: another top seed go down because The nuggets just went,
21:46
Speaker 1: down that's a number three. Seed the, boy this pla
21:50
Speaker 1: has been, Great this this is plot has been. Great
21:53
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow we got potential three series that could.
21:55
Speaker 1: END i, mean who the hell? Knows so who The
22:00
Speaker 1: knicks won by a million, Points jada McDaniels won a playoff,
22:04
Speaker 1: game And Joel embiid and company is, LIKE i don't,
22:11
Speaker 1: KNOW i don't, KNOW i don't, know all, right, y'all
22:13
Speaker 1: let me know What i'll. Think another great day in The.
22:15
Speaker 1: Association
