  Speaker 1: go ahead and bring in my co host Marshall. What's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: going on, Marshall? How the hell are you? And we
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: finally got here to the finals. Luckily we had a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you know, some sort of drama at least go on
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in the other series, unlike the OKC Minnesota unfortunately. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, how you're doing, and then we'll start
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to kind of wrap up somewhat quickly anyway that the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: OKC close out, which really was closed out game four,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, in a sense.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a I'm doing pretty good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Brother.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I hope you're you're doing good backup in Minnesota. I'll
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: be there in a couple of weeks. That should be
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: fun to get together. Uh, and hey, yeah we have
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the so I will say this. I was talking to
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the fiance and the cars. She's like, I kind of
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It's like not regular teams.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and obviously I'm sure like the ESPN and
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: like the news, like the market, people always want like
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Lebron or Curry or you know, the top not seams
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: like the Celtics. But like, just from like a true
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: basketball standpoint, it is kind of fun just to have someone different,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Like I don't think at the start of the year,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: maybe people thought the Pacers would have made the finals,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: you know, like, I mean, they're a good team, They're
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: not a joke. But if you'd ask everyone to pick
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: their finals predictions, okay see could have been a pick.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: But the Pacers, like no, and okay see, might be
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: a team that's gonna be there for a handful of
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: the next upcoming years, but this their first year or
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: this cruise. So it is kind of cool to have
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: just like new blood because we had a stretch there
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: where it was either going to be Lebron or Curry,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: and I was a guarantee. Now I enjoyed it being
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: a Curry fan, but you know, there is something to
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: be said for hey, different teams, someone new's going with
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: this year and maybe, I mean, we could get a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: repeat next year.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You never know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: But it's just kind of fun to see just a
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: different blood in the finals. And it maybe won't be
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the best range of the small markets, but I think
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: just for a sport fantom standpoint, it's kind of.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Nice to have something different.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say, yeah, and I you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: on paper it's not the best matchup, I guessed, but
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you never really know, so you actually get on the court.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, for all the the major market big
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: market conspiracy theories that go on in the NBA, they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: sure do a shitty job and getting those big markets
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in the fucking finals. You know, if you think about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it lately, it's kind of funny how that it's like, well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: these are pretty small markets here, so why would are
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you sure? It's because why wouldn't they Why wouldn't the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Knicks been in the finals? Then? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: so yeah, it's just it's just kind of funny how
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: people always go with that. Of course you're gonna want something,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but but yeah, it is kind of cool, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: seven straight years now with the new champ. Oh and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: these are first time champs. Whoever wins this one is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be a first time champ, So I think, yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: part of it's really cool too, and on the surface.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And Michael Jordan, Kevi, Regie Miller forgetting a couple.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah definitely, I mean more than Reggie, you know what
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: There's a long line of them actually, you know, going
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: back to that sometimes I look back and just because
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: remember during COVID we would do shows on Classic College
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Basketball and all that, and then you know, the Jordan
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: documentary came out at a time where people really needed
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: some form of sport, at least sports fans needed it,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and it was a big thing because remember we would
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: do weekly things on it, and we watched two episodes,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: do a show, watch two episodes, do a show. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I always think back to the the Houston Rockets in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that time. Man, I remember doing a breakdown segment of that,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and god, it always wanted to see that matchup, but
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it just never quite happened back in the nineties.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, yeah, you know, really Game four first
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: of all, the only competitive fourth quarter game we got
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in the whole series.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Great game, though, high level game, and that was the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: game that Timwolves needed to have a chance in the series. Obviously,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: even up you kick their ass and then you and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: then you beat them in a tight game go back
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: home too too. You never know exactly what's gonna happen.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Even if that Game five played out where it was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: twenty seven to six or whatever right away, you'd still
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: have to go Game six, so you never really know
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: what happened at that point. But it really came down
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to them being the better team, the deeper team, the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: just all around better finisher. But yeah, it really came
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: down to that game four man, which was one of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the better games in general, phenomenal game, but my Timberwolves
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: came up short. So there wasn't really much drama to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: speak of on the OKC Minnesota side of things.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I was that was just a really
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: you said, just a really good competitive basketball game. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: think that that did show that when Minnesota plays in
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: our a game, they're on par with them. But also
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I just think it is kind of like a tip
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: of the cap to OKC. Obviously not I'm not a
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: die here Wolves fans you, so you obviously a little
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: different perspective, and I feel for you, But like that,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: like that's a game where like normally the road team
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: doesn't win. Like I'm not saying that was Minnesota's best
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: effort forever, but that was like a really good home game,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: and normally, if you get those types of efforts in
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: an NBA home playoff game, the home team wins. So
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I hate saying it because I want you and all
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: my bikes to see the Wolves win, But it's like, damn,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: like this OKC team mate and I think maybe part
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: of it simply is the fact that they're from a
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma city, because if you look at the year they've
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: had just from a win loss record perspective, like it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: really not far off of the Golden State Durant year
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: just from wins and losses. So if this was a
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: team that was located in Atlanta or New York or LA,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I think there'd be more media just attention and love.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Not I'm not saying the media makes thinks of them
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: in a joke, but like, I do think we kind
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: of slipped them in a little bit this year, christ
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: just because it is a smaller market team and SGA
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: is a one oz guy without like a now Courier
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: broad So in roundabout way, I just think that I've
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: probably something a little bit. Myself was like, yeah, their
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: record was that freaking good. They beat however, me Pet
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: by almost like ten points the game of the whole year.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I just think that that game kind of showed him like, damn,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: like that's a game that the Wolves price. If they
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: play lu one else lead, they win that game four.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: It's two to two. So I don't know, just to
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: wrap it up that that was an incredible before of us. Unfortunately,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I wish I had gotten that way, but that was
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: just something or the teams don't do.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean their point differential, their record this year.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Technically they were back to back first seeds now you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: know in the West. Yeah, and maybe that was that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: they were a first scene and got beat the year before,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and they were a young team, and you did have
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: questions in the playoffs in a sense, you know, because
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you needed to see the other guys around him step up.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And then coming out that game seven, you thought, I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you know, yeah, your seven games, you know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and so whereas it seemed like maybe, okay, see, you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: could say played down a little bit in that series, maybe,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but I think Denver definitely played up compared to the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: last twenty thirty games of the season. You know. Yes, yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: styles make fights, matchups and all that. So that had
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to do with it obviously too, because for sure, you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the Timberwves match up much better with that team. So
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I just think it's uh. I do have to say
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: as a Timbrelf fan, though, I do feel further away
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: from them, okay see than I did Dallas last year
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: because if you look at the first three games, they
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: were all winnable. They were all right there on the table,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and it was the side of the Timberwolves that wasn't executing,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: whereas this it's only that one. Yeah, we kicked their ass,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: but you can make an argument that that actually like
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: pissed them off and embarrassed them, and they came back
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and won a game four. You know, maybe if you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: only beat them by sixteen or something, they don't have
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that same fuck you dude, what the fuck was that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: forty two points?
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Then they tried to put out that that stat about
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: no team is one of finals if you lost by
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: forty two in the playoffs.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But you and I know both that there's been a
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: thirty seven and thirty nine, So you're like, dude, that's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a couple of points away. That's a yeah, that looks
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: good on Twitter. Yeah, Like shit, dude, that probably means
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna win it. You know, it's like, well,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: not necessarily yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But overall, they really
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: put it all together, and it's something they've been building
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the last few years. Obviously, they were patient. They struck
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it when it was hot. We'll see if they keep
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it together. Of late, they weren't paying a bunch of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: tax because they had you know, young players, but they
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: did pay the tax a trunk of years ago, like
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of it. So, yeah, be able to keep
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this team, and I don't see why that owner, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do it now. On the indie New York side
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: going into it, you know, we're thinking about the nineties
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and the six out of like eight or nine years
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that they met and it was tied three to three,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and that in the nineties, I think one of them
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: snuck into the two thousands. But you know, we had
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: such a drama way to start game, won the series
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in general, and and then you kind of felt like, ah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's too zip now, you know, that's pretty this is
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: this isn't gonna go far. And credits to the Knicks man.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: They they had their own crazy comeback and you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: ended up winning Game three and then and then they
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: really played a great Game five. In fact, they kept
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: him under one hundred, kept any and one hundred. And
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: we were talking about how first time since like February
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: fourth or February second, that the Pacers had put up
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred points and that's you know, we saw the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Knicks much like we were just talking about Denver get
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: better on defense, you know, in the playoffs. But still,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you know it's not They're not a juggernaut obviously defensively.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: So that that was It was still a really interesting
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: series with you know, multiple games that were right there,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: probably three, three or four, probably four out of six
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: were could have been either either side win the game.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So it was a fun series. It was entertaining, what
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you think, overall, Like I said, at least, you know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: we talked about it last time, where this is the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: first time we actually got past three to h H
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in a conference final on either side in a couple
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of years. So it was finally nice to get the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: game six because most of them have been Game five
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: or Game four.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: You know, I do think so to flip the script on,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I think that people kind of slightly over underlooked, okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: c I do think there was kind of just an
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: ESPN hoping that, hey, dude, let's put the Knicks in
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: the finals. You know, like big Market, it's been a
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: min since they've been good. Like they they beat they
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: you know, they beat the celt like, you know, let's go.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Nixt you know.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: But yeah, but okay, like but Indiana. They just didn't
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: give a shit, Like there's something be said for that team.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: It'd be kind of fun if they did like a
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: one year documentary, just because not many teams can consistently
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: win games. Were down by so much. It's kind of
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: like they're like the cardiac kids. But that's certainly more
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: of like a college football college basketball.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: They lateral.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: They don't have this NBA team who just like never quits,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: never quit. It's like that's not really an NBA thing.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Now you can say, why the hell are the team's
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: ball leads, which I don't know, but they're just a
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: fun team. And I didn't look at who all the
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: ESPN people picked for that series, but I'm sure it
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: was obviously Vegas favorite Knicks.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people picked the Knicks. I'm
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: sure something did pay as well.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: But I think it's just a kind of a series
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: where like Indiana, people are sleeping on maybe just a
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: little bit because it's in New York City and they
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: got home court. But then you have the crazy Game one,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: but then they don't take them off the gas for
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Game two. That that's the big one, like Game one,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: helibertson due they got some ballers, but for New York not.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: An emotional thing. That happened too, you know, easily just
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, dude, our job is done. Let's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: get to game three one and one.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: You know, yes, And we saw that happen a couple
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: of times here, not as much this year, but well
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: actually not a lot, but in a regular Chris, if
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: you would Game one on the road, dude, take for
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: off the gas for game two, go home split. We're
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: happy that we actually had a lot of two o's
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: this year, which is weird but normally, yeah, hey, you
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: had an emotional win. Halibertson had the premature choke celebration.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: They still won the game. And then but then the
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: win game two, it's like, dude, like these boys ain't playing,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: so then you have that d in your head of
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: like this next thing win front of five No, so
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: uh Krant's and Haliburton credits Kretsur it is, you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: said a couple of times and we've said it too.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: They are a selfless team.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Like when you watch them move the ball, it's kind
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: of beautiful because yes, Haliburton is a stud, but he's not.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: You can watch it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: It doesn't have to touch his hands every time, Like
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: they're kind of fun just to watch because the ball
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: moves around, they play fast, they play at temple and
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: they just never stopped. And that's part of the reason
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: why they do win. Like they they probably never feel
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: their out of the games because hey, was gonna have
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: a night. Turs get hit a couple of shots like
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: the the the dude from Vandy Naysmith who helped him
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: win Game one when he just went duicular like he
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: did his version of Stephen Curry, which probably cry.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Weird last second shot without five threes and like how long?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Not long, you know, But I do.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Feel if you you go through like the last two
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: teams he had left, like you know, Denver goes, as
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Jokic goes, Timberleves go kind of is like Aunt goes
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: like sgakad of controls. Okay, see you can say that
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: about Pacers, but not really like they kind of they're
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: just a team now who's maybe are one more round
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: to go? But I think it's just a little bit
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: different because so many times in the NBA it's like, well,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: you got your one star and everywhere else kind of
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: feeds off. I know, hell Bird's the guy, but they
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: just they passed the ball I think better than I've
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: used to seeing in basketball. I'm sure statistically you might
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: be able to rip part what I'm saying, but they
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: share the ball really well, more so than other teams
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I've used to watching.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And he's closer to more of a true point guard
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: than he is a scoring slash. I'm gonna get some assists.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Good call, Yes, yeah, yeah, he will.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Get those assist And like you said, he gets off though,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: especially with any any sense of a double, he gets
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: off really quick. But something that he's gotten better at though,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: is hey, it's my time now, Gotta take everybody off
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the dribble because I can you know what I mean.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: All yeah, we know that, but yeah, I think just
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: finding that that timeframe of of when to go and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: when not to Yeah, you know, that's that's that's tough.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And like I said, most of it's combo guards, most
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of its playmakers, uh scores slash playmakers, it's not true
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: point guard. So and we went over it, you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: first second round a couple of times, saying, you know,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: from like eight or nine points, how they had all
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: those dudes that were in the teams, you know, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Siakam actually did did lead them in scoring so far
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, so Halliburton doesn't have to be the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: number one score all the time. Yeah. And speaking of
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: when you said documentary, right, sure, do you remember last
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: year the Netflix documentary where they chose like four or
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: five players and they went through the whole thing and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: then they played in the fall. This year it was
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with Aunt It was Lebraun Tatum and I can't remember. Okay,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Well anyway, that was Netflix. Yeah, that was last year.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So they followed all those players and then in the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: fall they showed what had happened throughout that year. Right, Well,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's four players like last time
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: or what, but what I do know is Sga and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: hal Burton are in this one.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, so it's exactly pretty close anyway, not exactly
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: pretty close to So we're going to see this journey
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: get to the finals this year, you know, and people involved,
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: we're going to play each other.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: You know, because Tatum got to the finals obviously and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: won it, but to have both in there, so you're
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: gonna kind of get your wish anyway. Yeah. Yeah, and
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: then just we've ever kind of caught up every once
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: in a while on ratings, and you know how this
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: was a through two rounds, it was a crazy ratings
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: did really good. The Western Conference Finals. You kind of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: knew was gonna be an issue. I did notice though,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: in the first round they gave OKAC, even though you
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: knew they were gonna beat Memphis ass they kept giving
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: them the prime primer spot rather than putting them on
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: NBA TV and having the better, more more competitive game.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So the NBA did actually do their due diligence when
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it comes to uh showing off the OKC, even though
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it pissed some people off because it's like, dude, that
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: game's a blowout, why would you put that on ESPN
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: or TNT put that on NBA TV and put the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Clippers in uh Denver on Yeah. Yeah, And I can't
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: remember the other games, but they did get him the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: lead in that, so that was kind of cool. But
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: so just kind of catching up with the ratings. Game
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: free was the largest Game three of the Eastern Finals,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was the largest rated on TNT since twenty fifteen, which
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: was the Hawks Cavaliers. And then Game four was the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: largest Eastern Conference Game four since the Celtics Calves, which
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: is just so happens to be, you know, when the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: last conference final Lebron was in, because in twenty nineteen
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: he dipped out of the conference, so it was basically
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the finals itself up until that point had been a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: seven year high. So and you know, obviously the some
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of the rivalry, some of the New York market of course,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: but also the way that Game one started must have
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: really helped the ratings too, just because they're like, oh shit, dude,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: this is this is crazy. So we'll see how Game
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: five did. I don't know how Game five did. We're
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: gonna find out how Game six did tomorrow. And usually
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the person that I follow that's been in the industry
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: for a long time for ratings, he they'll post tomorrow.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So at least Indy comes in hot off of a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: really fun series and a highly rated one, so we'll
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: see exactly where that goes. It's kind of funny Game four.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I believe Game four, the highest rated one is Game
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: four with the the Lakers and Timbrels still of the series,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: which you know, you got Lebron and got Ant and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: so yeah, all right, so you know, New York. I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: gotta say, like I keep hearing people say they gotta
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: blow it up. They gotta fire to the coach, they
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: gotta people still, like I think the last two series,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: there's times in certain games where you could be very
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: critical of Cat, but honestly, dude, he averaged almost twenty
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: five points in this series and had twelve, and they
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: would have won the game without him. They would have
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: had a five game series without him, So like in that,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you know, having twenty points in the fourth.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So I like.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Kat's whistle is horrendous, just because as as a younger player,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he did complain too much. But he gets so many
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: offensive falls and dumbfouls that I think that goes into
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that as well as whistle. But I don't know the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: whole blow it up. It goes back to like like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the video game era, where you're like, I don't like
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: how the season's going, Marshall, gonna turn the fucking game
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: off and restart everything. It's just so you're gonna fire
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: TIBs and then you're gonna blow your team up. Now,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: if you can get Yannis, hey fucking trade the ship,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: that's fine. But other than that, just to trade like
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you're obviously still like we did last year, we did
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: trade Cat on a high. But the odds, Marshall, if
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you don't get Yannis, the odds that you're gonna get
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a good ass trade for Cat Again. Yeah, it was
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a pretty fair trade now that we're a year or
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: not even a year from it. But you know, for
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: both sides if you look at it turned out. But like,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, what are your thoughts on that? Man?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: They hadn't made the goddamn conference final since two thousand.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: All right, well, you know.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Under a great contract.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, I think it's kind of an NBA training thing
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: because I've been hearing the same thing from the Minneapolis
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: sport Rado station. We've always listened to Kat and there's
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: been guys that show that just mentioned about how well
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: the Wolves gott to look for a big move. You know,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: it's like I do get if you're a Wolf from
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: office person, Hey we lost to Okay, see like okay,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: like what can we do to make our team better?
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: But does like I'm torer man because.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I think the one matchup in the whole conference.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: You know, it can it can backfire on you, Like
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: what if the Knicks or the Wolves do make a
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: big splash or trade, but then next year, what if
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: you what if you get knocked out first round?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Like was it worth? Like if you are the Wolves,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: for example, just gotta build that team more better than
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the Nickson.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Like I've been hearing the same things, like you made
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: the Western Conference finals two years ago. Yes, I'm frustrated
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: out to make some the finals, but your team is
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: close now you could argue that, Okay, we're still far behind. Okay,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: see what do we do now? Does what do we
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: do mean? We have to make a huge deal? I
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: don't know if that's necessarily the case, Like what huge
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: deal are you?
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Jones?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I could be a great ball handler right there,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Like it may not have to be a big move.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: You never know, you know, yeah, yeah, Like there it's there.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I get it. But yeah, like I have.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: To the rumor of like if the Wolves want to
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: go for Durant, Like I think that'd be an awful decision,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Like you you would kind of have to see well
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: yeah yeah, but again because if.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Someone's gonna leave and you sign and trade them to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: get him, that's different.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I do think it's kind of that you're
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: you're being the video game GM personal like we got
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: to blow it up. Well, yeah, if you're the Necks.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: You got Brunst, you got cat, you got you got heart,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: like you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Gotta you gotta get squad.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: So like, what is your big splash gonna beat? I'll
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: get Hell. If I was the MAVs, I would trade
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: the number one pick. I would say, Cooper Flag. You
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: see you're gonna Milwaukee.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Boy. I'm freaking you know, because you prove it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you know what I mean.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: So I just I do think.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: That we we become very quick to judge what But hell,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: if you look at like just quickly, like if you
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: look at how uh soccer and hockey like, dude, they
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: love to fire their coaches so fast, but then they're stupid.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: They bring you guys who've are ey been fired before.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: It's like they never had any circle like hery, we're
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: not doing too good. Hell the this basketball. But there
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: was a thing last two years ago in hockey, the
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: three coaches who were up for the Coach of the
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Year award were out of their jobs the next within
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: the next two years. So you're telling me the three
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: best ahl coaches of his team that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Could have wont coach the year.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: We're no longer with those teams and within two years
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: after coachmore. Sorry, shit, yeah, you know, so, so I
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: think and I think hockey and soccer are the worst,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: but basketball's baby coming in the NBA.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: NBA is right there with NHL. Yeah, twenty games in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the day. You get fired after twenty games, which is ridiculous,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: So you know, yeah, so I now, if you make
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: a big change, could it work, yes, but you have
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: to make a big splash, not necessarily, No, and don't
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: force it.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That's that's it. Don't force it. Because the way people
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: talk about Cat, it's like he fucking averaged twenty five
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and twelve in the like, come on, dude, like what
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: are we doing? Like I've always been critical in some
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: spurts with him, no doubt, but at some point you
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: gotta get over your own bias, like come on, what
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: are we doing? Just like you know, someone who cheers
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: for a team has to get over there. Oh no,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: my guy's better than Jordan or some shit. You know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: But yeah, yeah, yeah, so I don't know.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, Yiannis is a great example.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And basically, besides Brooklyn, nobody has money, so it has
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to be a sign in trade. So when you look
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: at this free agency from moving on in the in
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the coming future, like it's gonna be a bunch of
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: sign in trades. That's how you're good that free agency
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: right now, signing trade. So yeah, if someone's gonna give
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Randall a bigger contract, then we we feel like we're
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: gonna give them. Well, then, all, if you brought in Durant,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you know, if you had if you had Rudy Nas
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and Durant, Well, now you're saying, so now I can
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: now I'm looking at it differently. So I just to
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: blow it up if anything, you know, here's here's my example. Right,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: so the the Dallas team doesn't exist anymore. That beat
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: us last year, it's gone, yeah, right.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: And.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Wonder if Denver trades trades Porter for two just solid players,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: just role players, and they get better depth, and maybe
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: they can beat them, and then we can beat them.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You know, Wonder if the Knicks go against Indy and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Halliburton fucks up his ankle in game one. You know,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you never fucking know, you know, So I just especially
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: when you made such as like timberwolfs wise in next
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: wise you made such a big trade just and you
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: didn't have any practice time at all, basically because you
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: made it right at the opening of camp, but it
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: took a week to just finalize the damn deal. Yeah,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: neither of them could practice until you finalized it. So yeah,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just kind of weird. But anyway, let's
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: get to it. It starts Thursday. You know, both these
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: teams are definitely fun to watch. I think it is
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be an entertaining series during the regular season. Okay,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: see won this, you know the regular season series two
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: zip Chet was not in either one of those games.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised, obviously. The first when you
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: talk okay, see, the first thing, yeah, I to talk
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: about is turnovers, you know, because they're gonna turn you over.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And I was kind of surprised that I went back
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and looked in at they lost twice. One was close,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: one was a blowout, but neither game featured a lot
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of turnovers. The highest turnover game in the last series
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: against the Knicks for Indy was twenty game five, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: other than that, they didn't really go crazy with it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: If they would have had another eighteen and a sixteen
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: or something, I'd be a little more worried because the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Knicks aren't the okay, se on defense, you know, but
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: another thing that kind of came out of it. Haliburton
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: just in two games, you know, nothing crazy. He didn't
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: really play all that well. He had like his lowest
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: usage I think of the season. Lou Dorton company really
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: made him get off the ball pretty quick, exactly what
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: they did to Aunt. But like I said, Chet didn't
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: play and you know they're the turnovers are key and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: then pace you know, we talked about this before we
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: hit record and you know pace wise even on made baskets.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: How far like right, when the person with the ball,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: which it doesn't have to be Haliburton, right, many guys
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: can bring the ball up for them. Will they meet
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: him at half court? Will they make you know, forced
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Haliburton to get rid of the ball like they did
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: with Aunt. But turnovers, But then again, if you like
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to play fast and you have this pace, like okay,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: so he's like cool, man, let's have pace, then let's
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: do this. This is what this is what we like
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to do too. You know, they cause turnovers. Indiana does too,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and both of them cash in because it seems like
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: multiple guys on okay, see can cash in off of
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a steal and then you know, all you gotta do
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: is throw the ball deep to Siakam who's like a
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: tight end, and he gets the easy buckets off of it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: In that series the whole, So, you know, obviously a
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: clear favorite in this one, one of the largest favorites.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's it goes back to Detroit beating a
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Lakers squad that had like the old dudes, you know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Peyton and Malone and all that. I think that would
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: be the big I think that was a plus four
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: fifty or plus five hundred, which was a little crazy
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: at the time. But you know, people just it's a Lakers,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They're gonna win again, you know, that type of thing.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts, you know, kind of heading
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: into this matchup, because it seems like a fairly uphill climb,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you know, for Indy to be able to even push
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: this thing to six or seven.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I think you obviously make a fair and valid point
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: about how the season series went and the turnovers weren't
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: that bad. But now you have time to prep. Like
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: obviously he played the Pacers today, give a ship, but
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: like that, do that that could have been a back
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: that could have been a back to back doubleheader. Maybe
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the team went out partying the night at the club
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: the night before, maybe getting late, like who who in
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: the f No is what those matchups were on the
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: calendar for when they played. Now, Okay, so he's like, dude,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: we want to get a ring. So and I think
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking, like, because what would they do versus ant
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: at the Edwards and he is again a terrific I
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: think he's gotta a little more mature, but he's a
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: terrific basketball player, and they really made him struggle a lot.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: They did, and they made Randall work really hard after
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: those first couple of games.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: So like if but now now they have time.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: So Hallibert did like, he's obviously not do a little
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: different player than a but he's not nearly as explosive
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: and might have the quickest first step in the league.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: So if you can't contain Anthony Edwards or make him.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Pass the ball because you're really good at double teaming,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: you know what is the Pacers back? Because the Pacers
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: are not quite as uh as deep of a team,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: and I don't think they shoot the three balls quite
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: as well as Minnesota. So and I realized I'm just
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: making a like a to B two c here, but
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: with with how they play defense, like what are you
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: gonna do to like find a way to contend? Because
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: but the first thing I wanted, the the one bet
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: I'll probably make for the series Chris is gonna be
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: is that I bet the series goes two to one. Okay, see,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: because they've shown that every round is okay, defend their
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: home court game. Yeah, in game three, they take them
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: front the gas like they did with the Wolves, like
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: they did with.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Memphis, and again they would lost John as a Buss's wrists.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: So I think, okay, see, he's gonna come out hot
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: and Pacers will obviously Okay, see, it takes the front
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: the gas, pat the home court. So I think that's
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: my initial lead. But yeah, I think with the time
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: to fill the prep, they're that defense is nasty. Man
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Like Jokic is a special dude to take a beat
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: up team that he had as far as they did,
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: but like that dude's different. But they would have a Jokics, right,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: They have Hallibers, they have heard, they have Siakam, they
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: have you know. But it's like I I really think, okay, okay, see,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: his defense is gonna clamp down and make their life miserable.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. It does feel that way, you saw,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: like I said, shades of it at times. There's an
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: interesting status on Twitter from Evans Sidery. The Pacers are
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: twelve and oh in the playoffs this season when they
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: scored one hundred and ten at least one hundred and ten.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: When they've scored less than one hundred and ten, they're
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: oh of four. So you know, scoring one hundred and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: ten's obviously not an easy task against, okay see. Heading
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: into it, they're both averaging right around one seventeen okay
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: see rebounding a little bit more. Assists per game is
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty five in favorite Indy both uh.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: And then you look at one o six three three
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: points allowed, one oh six point three okay see in
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: one thirteen point three. So, like I said, Pascal is
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: their leading score. Halliburton like at nine point eight assist.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: So and you know through the conference finals, thirty one
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: point four was SGA. But also so if you look
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: at the conference finals, it goes thirty one point four SGA.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: You have brunts of at thirty set thirty point seven,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Town's at twenty four point eight Siakam at twenty four
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: point eight, so basically twenty five. That's why I didn't
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: think it was a big deal that he won the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: you know, first of all, playing two ways, Edwards was
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: twenty three. To your point, they did contain him, But
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: then here's the kicker, and Haliburton was twenty one, but
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the kicker Williams was twenty two point two and home
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Groom was eighteen, and those are the guys that you're
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: looking at. Random was seventeen when we went into the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: thing like, you know, can those guys get over the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: hump and can they help SGA? And they definitely did.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: They definitely did. Now transition points and pace tells you
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it is going to be an up and down type
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of type of series, and things like like Chet versus Siakam,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: or would they put them on Turner? You know, more
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: likely if they're both out there and Chet has when
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: they have two bigs. Okay, see, I would say that
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: he'd be on Siakam and probably keep them in the
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: paint more because that's the thing about Cover and Turner.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Then you're not in the paint as much, and you
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: clearly want them in the paint, especially you know when
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: he's the only big which there's plenty of times doing that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I would give Indie. I don't think this is controversial.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I'd give in Indianapol or Indiana the the coaching advantage.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: You know, yes, I think that's fair. I do want
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to see that with Halliburton and Turner, the pick and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: roll and the pick and pop. I think that'll be key.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: And then speaking of Halliburton, will okayse see you know
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: hunt Halliburton, like Boston did last year in the Conference finals,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: they've done a pretty good job of hiding him. Indiana
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: as a whole is a better at defense. This year
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: they made a sizeable jump compared to last year because
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: last year it was bad, you know, like it just
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: looked like shit. So they haven't made a jump. And
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: then beyond themhard you know, s g a like I
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: think you gotta do it kind of like Game three
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: where you have someone on him, your best defender, but
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: you also bring that second guy over there and hope
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: that he can scramble back to his guy. But you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: have to you can't just give him the mid range.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: If you give him the mid range, that's gonna be
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a problem. And then we're gonna find out how good
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Indy is at zone defense because the timber Rowls weren't
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: good at a game winning game two because they're just
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: not that great at it. Yeah, but that all goes
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: back to how Denver did it, and Denver kind of
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: had to do that with their team, you know, because
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: they're not a great defensive team, but it looked out
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: for that. So a couple of questions there, and I'm
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: kind of wondering how that plays out. But what are
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: some of the keys you think, just in general beyond
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: what we're you know, kind of the surface stuff.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I So one thing we talked about for the show.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I'm really surprised and this dude don't get like a
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: lot of hype because he really doesn't eat so much,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: but that hearts and stide, like he kind of reminds
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: me of like of Andrew Bogan because like people said,
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Bogo's like, well the dirtiest savvage players they but never
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: got a foul trouble.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that hearts and sides up to that level,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: but like, okay, see doesn't give up like easy layups
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: like that dude's bill truck. He doesn't have to do shit.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: He'll he'll get his couple of dunks.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: But whenever you see, like whenever one dribbles, if someone
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: dribbles the ball and the paint, like when the Wolves did,
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: like dude, they're on you, and that dude does get
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: shoved around like Rudy had a couple of like dunks
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: as he's tall. But like a lot of times like
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Rudy or Randall, like drove it to the lane. Dude,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: arms are up, they're bumping you, but they never get
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: called for the fouls. As you said, that's kind of
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: the style they played. A ref can't call the foul
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: all the time. But I'm really just impressed with how
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: they cover the paint. I know that Miles Turner is
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: more of like a Spot of Shooter guy, but like Turner,
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: you know, if he goes away legit bigs.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: You know that they don't have to play both of
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: them at one time either. That's where they're really good,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm just curious to see, you know, like
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Pacers gonna have to really live and die by the
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: three because they would have a guy like a Rando
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: or a Cat or a like dude like okay, see
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: owns the paint.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: And when they owe the paint. That's hard to do.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: So if you're if your Knights a little bit off
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: of the three point line shit like you know, because.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: See that corner three they almost give it up.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah no.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: And so if guys like you know, Yokich and Anthony
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Edwards can't drive and lane and kill you, what makes
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: you think someone in the pacer gonna be able to?
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: So, uh, they just play scrabby defense. Caruso scrappy. He
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: probably gets with more than he should, but just team
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: defensive wise, it's like damn, you know, they make you
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: earn it. Uh, at least if they want to run. Uh,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: they they surprise their their role players are like these,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: like I think collectively like the Minnesota probably had a
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: more talented bunch for like one to eight. But like
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: those role players that they need to or hit a
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: lot of big shots, like they're not really household names
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: like Nasred is a really popular guy. People love the dude,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: like so Devin Chenzel, Like they're a little more well known,
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: but something is like lesser known. Dude's okayc Like when
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: Gillott was SGA passing the ball, they hit their threes
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: and obviously they're gonna get a lot open looks Chris,
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: because like you said, you're gonna have to double team
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: SG and little Bitter he's gonna owe you, you know.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Yea.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: So their role players are working their way up and
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: also but they're also a damn young team. So that's
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: that's unfortunate part. So I do Now, obviously Pacers aren't
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: scared they're ever gonna quit. You know, I could see
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: maybe one of those comebacks coming this in this series.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: But I really think that, uh, with the way they
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: play defense, pacers have their hands full and they get
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: okay the city. Besides their Game three where they like
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: to kind of maybe take the front off the gas
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: a little bit, uh man I, I guess.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: Normally we like to do the the give and take
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: of like, uh, check a boxer who has the advantages
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: here and there. Besides the Pacers have the coaching advantage.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: I can't give the advantage to the Pacers on offense
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: or defense or like the bench Like maybe I'm missing
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: something like if you had to check a box like offensively, I.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Think it's it's closer than it is defensively, Yeah, you.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Know, defensively it's a big check to the to the left.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's a gap for the bitch, like.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: You know, the I think you'd have to give it
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: to Okay, see just because they've they got a better
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: win last record there, I think their bitch maybe more
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: of a unity team, you know, Pacers, we we really
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: haven't been talking about their uh and Turner and Halbert.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I know they obviously have a bitch, but I think
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: you probably to check the box with the Okay see
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: beatch too.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah that McConnell is that McConnell.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah he needs to.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Play better because he wasn't that effective this last series.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: True. Oh yeah, yeah, he's got to step up for sure.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: So check this out. This is from Hardwood or HP Basketball.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Indiana has the second best five man lineup in the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: playoffs by net rating. It has to be at least
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: fifty minutes together. They have the second best. Right, OKC
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: has the second, third, fourth, seventh, eighth, and tenth best
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: three man lineup in the playoffs minimum fifty minutes played.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Now, what's crazy is even though they didn't play a
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: lot together, Minnesota had the number one, but it wasn't
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: their starting lineup. As they're small. It was Randall, Reid, Dante,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: at and McDaniels. But you're also going against not starters,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: so you know it's it's not the same sure. Speaking
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: of bench that Mathron the last couple of games he
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: had in two games stretched in thirty seven minutes, he
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: had forty three points. He because he was playing like shit. Yeah,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: but he started coming on. So that's something to look at.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: If you look at Turner, only five centers in the
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: NBA history have made seventy five playoffs or at least
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: seventy five playoff threes, and two of them were in
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the last series. Cat in the Turner. So Turner's gonna
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: have to definitely knock that down.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got to show up big time, yup, and
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: then you know, nemhard.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: The last three games, uh, the Pacers were were outscored
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: by fifteen points per one, almost sixteen points per one
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: under possession when he's on the court. So he's got
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: to turn that shit around.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: Well, and you know, you know who SGA drops fouls,
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: but then he wanted Statistically that pisses off a lot
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: of people. But if he gets if he gets it
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: hard and foul trouble.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Are two fowls go a bench? Yeah?
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: What what?
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: What is the Pacers backup playing for what? Nim hard
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: hat gets a foul trouble? They big, You're really big.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: You're probably trend for water.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And over the last two years, the Pacers are
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: thirteen to three in the playoffs when Tyrese Haliburton attempt
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: at least fifteen shots when he's when he shoots less
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: than ten, they're one in six. So it tells you,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you know, he's gotta he's gotta make sure you know
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the timing of everything. Like we said, when to take
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: over when your team needs you, when you know, when
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have to force it. That'll be something to
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on. So far, Chet who was kind
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: of a let's see how he does because he's young
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: and didn't play all that great in the playoffs last year,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: he averaged sixteen point four points, eight eight point six
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: rebounds in two blocks. And it's under thirty minutes per
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: game too, So that's something to say. I did put
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: for MVP. I got a plus ninety ten on Halliburton.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Didn't have to put much money on that. And let's
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: see here. So so Shay has over the last three
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: season thirty points playoff games. Shay has seventeen, Brunson has
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: twenty one, Tatum has nineteen, Jokic has eighteen. Shay who
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: didn't go as far two years or three years ago,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: he got knocked out of the first round. So that's
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: just really these last two years, which is pretty impressive.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: But you know, he is kind of the main score Now,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I will say this Brunson in Towns. Their top two
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: scorers did go off in the series. Now, they didn't win,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: but there was a stat that popped up the first
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: teammates since Kobe Shack twenty twenty two to each average
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: twenty points in the first five games of the Eastern
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: of the conference final. Something to look at. Yeah, and
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: then I think I already said the biggest odds since
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four Pistons win the transition. Oh, we're
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: talking about the corner threes, right, because that's what they
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Og and Michale Bridges combined for twelve to fifty from
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: the left corner in the playoffs. And so they didn't
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: do good in that series either. Obviously, you know, not
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: that they're like OG's not the guy you want taking them,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: but sometimes you don't have a choice. They just give
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: it to you and you gotta take it. Sure, And
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: that was a problem all the way till somewhere in
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: game three for the Wolves too. You know, yeah, they
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: just they just fucking can't knock it down. So let's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: see here, so I see, okay, so here's some here's
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: some bets.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, here's a cool little thing. Final starters by draft position. Okay, okay,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: See has a second pick eleven twelve, forty third and undrafted.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Indiana has eleventh, twelve, fourteen, twenty seventh to thirty first.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so you know, not a lot of stars,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: but it's like, hey, they turned out to be they
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: drafted well obviously, so well, i'll get to the odds
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: after we do the prediction. I mean it obviously, I
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: think both of us are gonna pick. Ohs k see,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: it's just a matter of, like, you know, the matter
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: by what. Well, here's some of my bookie, So, okay,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: see four to one is plus two forty eight. Okay,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: see four to two is plus four fifty a sweep
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: of okay, see, just straight up sweep, which I don't
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: think either of us think that'll happen plus two sixty Oklahoma,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: which is like huh Okay, Oklahoma City. Uh for three
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: plus five hundred. So if you had to make a
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: prop bet, would you go forour to one plus twenty
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: four or plus two forty eight, four to two plus
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: four fifty or plus five hundred four to three, or
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: just take that sweep at plus two sixty.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: I really I'm gonna go gentlemen sweep. I'll take the
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: plus two forty eight. I do think that Pacers would
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: Game three and the Okay Sea bounce back Game four.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: So if I if I had to bet, I would
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: bet four to one first, four to two second before
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: I do either seven or a true sweep.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a gentleman, you know, I was thinking
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: about betting on four to one and four to two.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, no, just bet them both.
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: And that's probably well that I haven't done it yet.
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: Like I said, the only bet I have is Haliburton,
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: just because I think, you know, they'd be a miracle
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: and plus it's nine fucking tens. I mean, yeah, true,
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: you know, so I am gonna go gentlemen's sweep.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked at games you know, going to
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: game six, in wonder if it does. Though, you know,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: let's say we get the next time we do a show,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden game six, you start to go, dude,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: game six is an indie.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Dude, hold on, hold on, you start to get all.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Excited about it. I mean, obviously we don't know until
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: we get there, right, but it does kind of because
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: because maybe they got lucky in their only win or something,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: you know, like someone had a bunch of foul problems
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, whatever, So yeah, I wonder that that
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: that is kind of interesting how that all plays out.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: But I think I'm hoping for a six or seven
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: game series because I really think that that's the only
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: way this thing is going to draw attention. In fact,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I remember the the Spurs Pistons, right, A lot of
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: people didn't like the Pistons because oh they're too dirty
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: and all that, and I don't like Rashia and all
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: that shit, right, yeah, in their style of play, and
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: then a lot of people didn't A lot of people
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: got bored by the Spurs, right just defense, you know,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: slow offense, you know, just break you down. Right. Yeah,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I like both of them, but you know, a lot
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: of people didn't in that series. It was like, I
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: think the Spurs got up Tuesday, then Detroit got won
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: the next two games, so it's two two. But all
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: four of the games were like no drama at all.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: So they're like, see, dude, this is But then five, six,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, from five through seven,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh shit, this is a good series and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: you know all that stuff. So I wonder how that's
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: gonna play.
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: So so Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, so Sunday game two.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we could do one on Monday.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: But and you're gonna be coming in on Thursday the twelve,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: right or no, you're gonna be coming in earlier than that,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: but you're gonna be in the cities by that time.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I'll be in the city.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So we'll figure it out. If it's let's
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: put it this way, if it's one one, we're gonna
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: do a show on Monday, you know what I mean,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Because if it's one one, it's like, oh shit, hold on,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: you know, like yes, series now, you know. But yeah,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: we'll just kind of play it by ear like we do,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: just kind of letting the audience know that whether we
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: let it go to game three or game four, or
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: like I said, if it's one one all of a sudden,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: it gives you a different viewpoint of the series. So
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: we'll just kind of play it by ear and just
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: you know, keep in touch with the audience so they
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: know when the next show is.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: Get on that note, Hey, college football, it's August thirtieth,
• 54:55
