Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Here we are, Game one of the NBA Finals. Yay,
I told you last night, Game one gonna be the
Nuggets by twenty, Game two, Nuggets by twenty. It's not
quite twenty, but it's almost there. Denver's been in control
the entire way seventy four to sixty and Mike Harmon.
The heat culture getting a big reality check right now.
(01:13):
Courtesy of Nikola Yoki who's turned into Magic Johnson Suddenly.
He may have forty five assists by the time this
game is over.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yeah, brick merely killed a guy. I mean a brick
thrown up by Duncan Robinson almost killed a man.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
High pressure front, high pressure frost. No, he steps away
from the defender. He's got a wide open three and
ricochet is it off the bottom of the backboard. If
someone was crashed in the glass, you know, like Derek
White the other day, it would not have ended well. Yeah,
would not have ended well.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
But it has been a difficult night for the Heat
would be the U the understatement of the year thirty
seven point seven percent seven exactly. He's just six of
twenty three from three point range points in the paint.
Denver in the first half had thirty two. There was
a fourteen point differential. There saw some work on the
(02:01):
rebounding totals from Miami, but you know what, they were
all off their own missus and you know what they did.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They missed again, So it really didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
This game has gone exactly how I thought it was
going to go. This what I mean, I mean, I
could I could take over for Shannon Charp, but I'm right.
I'm right about a lot of stuff this game right here,
you know what, you should be embarrassed for that time?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Why why, why, however? Why why why? I'm just telling
you I told you, I told you.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I hate to say I told you so. No, well
you got it in three and a half minutes into
the show, John by No, this has just been a
miserable effort shooting wise, and then defensively, you've had the
extra pass out of Jokic's hands. Uh, he didn't take
a shot until into the second quarter once again, or
right at the end of the first actually was right
(02:53):
before the East sat down for an extended period of
time and then the Miami Heat gained no traction there.
But the extra pass wide open looks, and many of
them were layups or dunks. Right, It's one thing if
you're crashing on to him and you've got Porter Junior
or one of these other guys decided they're going to
take an ill advised just inside the three point arc shot,
(03:13):
Hey have ad at all you want, But these were
just backdoor layups, wide open looks, flushes, et cetera. And
it just doesn't look like Spolstra and company, even with
one or two little runs in them. There's been no
ability to sustain or slow down this offense.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Look, there's a couple of things that I saw in
the first half that that you know going in, but
you don't see it until it actually happens. And that's
the Nuggets size advantage is tremendous. It's a lot more
work for the Miami Heat to get their baskets a.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Lot and it always was.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It was. I mean the regular season they were the
lowest scoring team in the league, right, but.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It wasn't a crazy it wasn't as crazy a differential
what you got to see in the first half, cause
you see how much bigger the Nuggets are, how much
easier it is for the Nuggets to get their shot.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And Gordon feasted and then he perhaps the greatest halftime
interview I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
He talked for like four minutes.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, he had like two or three questions that he
talked for nearly five minutes. Like normally, I said, Yeah,
we gotta play better now we're moving. No, here's you know,
a masterclass from Yokis today. You know we're all moving
off the ball well, and we know when Nicola looks
up and he sees us. If we're doing what we
need to, we're gonna get fed.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like all this. You know, everybody's looking around like, wait what.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm gonna go back to Sore and Kirkerguard, who gave
us this bell. You're familiar with Kirkerguard.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Let me let me go back to never talk to
another coach at halftime again.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Go back to the fifteenth century and tell you about
how the art of war has gone up from Uh,
but Laos, Sue and Kirkerguard in the first six minute. Wow,
you can tell how I'm bad and it's a different.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Hey, come on the art of war and the underdog story. No,
we cut him off and the knees are done. Give
us something new, give us something new. Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You could see that the Heat's attitude coming into this game,
and this is why the Nuggets this playoff. It's a
weird comparison, but follow me on it. They kind of
remind me of the Pain the way the Patriots used
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You could tell that that the Heat's strategy tonight was Okay,
we're gonna make everybody else but Jokic make shots, right,
where where as I told you the Lakers needed to
you stop Murray, Stop Jokic, let him get his things,
because he's gonna be a tough guy to guard. This
was we're gonna we're gonna see or we're gonna see
if somebody else and those guys can really win this game.
(05:24):
And Jokic was a huge distributor.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
In the first We have he assists or six assists
the first first quarter and then from there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, and what everybody is finding out is, oh crap,
the Nuggets supporting cast is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, Jamal, you're.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Gonna have free runs to the basket, I mean, and
Gordon Murray feasted.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I mean that.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That's what's impressed me so much about the Nuggets is
that they were playing a different kind of game from
the beginning. And here they are dominant, out to a
nineteen point lead. Now it's seventy nine to sixty with
less than three minutes ago in the third quarter. And
Jamal Murray has been everything we talked about this playoff.
I said, we're not talking about beginning of the playoffs.
I said, he's going to be a guy we need
to talk about more because he's the big X factor.
(06:05):
He is the key to the playoffs. And look where
he is right now Again, I hate to say I
told you so, but you can see him with twenty
four and eight and six. But the Nuggets have been
able to play any kind of game. And that's kind
of what I would watch the Patriots do for the
longest time, where a team would think, Okay, we know
how to attack them, and they come in with a
(06:25):
strategy and the Patriots would give them a different way
to play, and then I go, okay, all right, all right,
we got that. Okay, now for the next game, we're
gonna figure that out. But then the second game they
played against like I watched this with the Jets and
the Dolphins and the Bills all years. Okay, the Jets
think we know how to play the Patriots. We're gonna
go with this attitude week five, and the Patriots win
because they show him something nobody expected. All right, we'll
(06:47):
get We'll take care of that for week twelve in
the rematch. Meanwhile, the Patriots, Patriots are onto something else
and now instead of a run heavy game with a
blitz with a blitz package, they're gonna sit back and
coverage whatever it is, whatever you think you prepared for
the last time, doing something completely new and teams can't
catch up. And that's what I'm seeing right now, but
especially with the Lakers series. That happened is that the
(07:07):
Lakers just couldn't catch up to what the Nuggets were doing.
That a big chance in that first game to really
send a message to go, hey, we can come back
if they could have hit a shot late, but they couldn't.
That was the game they let get away. But everything
else they just couldn't catch up to what the Nuggets
were doing. Sometimes it was Yokic dominant, sometimes was Yokic
laying off. Sometimes it was Murray dominant sometimes and it
was so they were always one step behind. And that's
(07:29):
kind of what I see the heat tonight. They're one
step behind everything the Nuggets are trying to do. And
that's been the Nuggets team for the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, and in Game four, Lebron James was shot and
punched himself out. To mix sports analogies, you know, I
was also thinking about it for those that don't want
to talk about the Patriots or the Jets in this
analogy and kind of pushing them off to the side
to make everybody you.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Can't push the Jets off the side. We're gonna win
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
This well, we got a couple of months before we
need to worry about them. No, worry about it now.
But the boy, Hey, if you want to talk about
the jets I was talking about into pop culture, we
could talk about your analogy off to the side. We've
got of like the Raptors that you think you had
them figured out in Jurassic Park.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
But they were just testing defense the whole time. No,
they were stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
The rap come on, the kids pretended they were in
a bleeping reflection and the wrapping bam right into the
thing to twelve and an eight year old kid who
went on to play base and and Bohamian Rhapsody. They
fooled these dinosaurs. Come on, man, it couldn't.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Be that was their first exposure if they had that
option and they had to run that gauntlet again at
raptors figuring it out, knew how.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
To open the door. No, no, but that the reduction
was a new thing. That wasn't an I'm going that
fat Come on.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I mean maybe with Pratt later on, and they had
been taught about reflections and to collusions and that one.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I think they just thought it was the.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
People and also really the reflection, I don't think it
was going to be that clear. It kind of looked
like it was through a mirror. But this was in
a this is in a stainless steel it was well
kept kitchen. What are you talking about that that you're
not gonna be used? You're not gonna see there's no
detention there. It's mirror. I want to see myself like
it's a mirror. Either the raptors got screwed over by
(09:08):
a false mirror or they were too stupid to see that,
Oh this really isn't as sharp as it should be,
ran right into it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'm gonna say that, smart twelve year old eight year old.
See you're taking the negative approach. I'm saying I'm going
down the positive of there we're gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Joe Mizzula was able to outsmart you.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Hey, he outsmarted you. He's coaching for another year in courting.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Do you think we can do a game called Joe
Missoula or Joe Miszula and and and and you know
you have to pick one of them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Can we get Joey sus who when we're at it?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
But anyway, for the heat, it's just been a dismal showing, uh,
they got it to ten, right, you had a.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Vincent three point shot early third quarter?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Like all right?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Maybe nah?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Right back to uh surgeon like efficiency for these Denver
Nuggets lead now out to twenty four points as we
come up inside of a in it the third. Again,
I hate to say I told you so. Denver by twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No, it's a dangerous thing.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Denver by twenty in Game two. And then Scott Foster
and Tony Brothers to Miami for Game three.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Hey, guys, get on a plane. We gotta extend this thing.
If you guys get on a plane to go all right?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And can you do?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And I don't want to hear at the end when
the Nuggets win by twelve, you guys at the press
conference saying, well, we did all we could do is
referees event we gotta make shots. Jimmy Butler wasn't playoff, Jimmy,
he was, come on, this is what's happening. But but
this is what I this is what I you know,
I saw ahead in that the heat have been the
little engine that could this entire series. But this is
(10:38):
a completely different animal. Right, They've beaten teams that were
flawed tremendously. You saw the Flaws and the Celtics, right,
we'll get to them coming up in a bit, because
they had big news today. The Knicks flawed, didn't believe
in themselves, couldn't get Julius Rantld going. They threw up
on themselves, even though they gave the Heat a good
a good go. The Bucks, everything was so bad they
fired their head coach. Right, things were so bad they
(10:59):
lose in the first round. So yeah, okay, they beat
teams that you could say, boy, they beat a one,
they beat a four. But this team, this Denver Nuggets team,
they were the best team in the NBA all year long.
There was no doubt about it. They started out great.
They were great in the middle, they were great near
the end. They were great at the end. They've been
great in the playoffs. There's been no peaks. There's been
no valley peaks are good. There's been no valleys for
(11:20):
this Denver Nuggets team.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's all peaks. It's all peaks for Denver. They've been great.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They've been better than everybody else from the beginning to end,
wire to wire, the Nuggets have been the best team
in the NBA. It's gonna be no surprise we walk away.
What do you think of the twenty twenty two to
twenty three season it was owned by the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Sure, remember there will be peace in the valley. For me,
I hope is a dangerous thing. See. You know everybody
else can talk about different parts of the Shawshank redemption.
I stick with the theme of hope and for the
Miami Heat and they now have to go to the
mantra of well it's a run no four.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, I'll tell you nothing's perfect Shaw Shanks, Joshanks, Shoshank's perfect, Billy.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Joe's your out Now, that's perfect.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
To that's thinks perfect, that's perfect. Start going down our
list of things that are perfect.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Maybe? Yeah, okay, still fifty? It was Hey, today's gotta

Speaker 1 (17:14):
I had to go through a huge vetting process to
actually get tickets for that. I had to go through interviews,
I had to travel, I had to complete a triathlon.
You can't you can't just buy tickets More's Day. You
gotta find a way to win the man. You had
me until you said triath.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, the triathlon was these guys are falling over. The
triathlon was was was walking to the corner to mail
a letter, walking back, untying your shoes and taking a nap.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Playing fantastic for Oh, let me guys, wait, let me guess.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
The first song is something to really depress you after
you've had a really bad day.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
That's the song number one. You got to get people
fired up.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Song number two is literally everybody wants to Rule the
World on repeat.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Who wants to hear that song again? That Jason you

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Sixteen point lead for the Nuggets right now, ninety to
seventy four, about seven minutes ago in the fourth quarter.
Steve Disaga will have more on this story coming up
in a couple of minutes. But the Celtics making a
lot of headlines today, and I'm gonna preface this by saying,
you wonder why I put them on my never again list?
You wonder why what did the Celtics decide to do.
(19:28):
Brad Stevens, who's been running the organization for the last
couple of years since getting kicked upstairs as a head
coach decided, Yes, we're bringing back Joe Mizzula.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Okay, And I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I thought he was going to be the fall guy,
because somebody's gonna have to be the fall guy there
in Boston for it. Okay, it's not Joe Mizzula, all right.
So they're bringing back Joe Mizula. And I can see
why because they did win fifty five games, they got
to the Eastern Conference Finals game seven. I bet Stevens
is worried, Hey, could this guy really be great head coach?
(20:01):
I don't know. We haven't really seen a lot, but
we haven't seen where the moment was too big for
him or the team quit on him.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So do we really want to.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Move on from a guy who could be a great
head coach? Because as we saw yesterday with Monti Williams
getting all that money. Way, if we let Joe Azula go,
is someone gonna sign him for a lot of money
because of what happened. Maybe he's really good and it's
a leap of faith that they're taking with. Maybe he's
good to maybe in year two he takes care of
a lot of things. Because it is it is a
(20:31):
deal for head coaches that you do learn a lot
in your first You like to think a new head
coach is gonna come in he has all the answers,
but they're learning on the job just like anybody else.
Robert Salo was a much better head coach last year
than he was two years ago. But so you see
it in guys, Hey, they learn a little bit more
because the first time they're doing it. So I get
that part of a Joe Mizula maybe maybe he could
be really really good, and so we're gonna bring him
(20:53):
back for another year.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah. I think part of it is you didn't get
a true normal ramp up to things because of the
way the Audoka situation was handled. So I think there's
some of that that folds in. As well as for
the moment being too big for him, well, we had
certainly plenty of moments where you could have made the argument, well,
(21:14):
did his players over underwhelmed to a grand degree or
was it partially his failure in terms of time out
management and how the bench was managed. But certainly you
had both Tatum and Jalen Brown come up small ish
to be kind in some big moments, and Jalen Brown
in that closing game was atrocious. I think he said
(21:37):
it perfectly himself about how terribly he had played. But
you saw all during this series and all during the playoffs,
whenever their backs were against the wall. To a man,
they talked up Joe Mizula. They had his back and
believed that he is the man. Now there's fourteen million
dollars left on his contract, and given the money we
(21:58):
were talking about with Manti Williams, well that doesn't matters.
Like no, it does. There's still plenty of teams out
there that fourteen million dollars isn't something they just want
to give away. Think about Al Davison the number of times, Yeah,
you want your money, sue me, sue me, come back
for it. But with Missoula, to your point, you want
a lot of games, and we try to. We're trying
(22:19):
to figure out you and I as we do this
night by night watching the games of the NBA regular season.
You're trying to get a true assessment of what the
regular season is. Right, where's that line? Because being the
best in the regular season, given the fact that a
lot of teams stars don't play but seventy percent of
their games truly hard to decide how great a regular
(22:42):
season is. But they played well, they won fifty five games.
The East was deeper this year, right, Let mean, look
at what the Heat are doing. But you had a
couple of teams that, but for injuries and a couple
of bad runs towards the end of the season, we're
still viable in the back end of that playoff brackets.
He say, all right, you outlasted, you outwitted, you out
played blah blah blah, and Budenholzer ed gotten dismissed. You
(23:07):
talk Moni Williams Doc Rivers for whatever, whatever you like
or don't like, he does have a title, and he
seems to be a guy that teams love to bring on.
And he's still floating, floating out there. So you're looking
at your alternatives if you're going to make a firing.
The other thing is you're gonna lose a bunch of
your assistants. Right, So how long Domeo Dolka? So how
much of that plays in also of you know what,
(23:29):
we got to keep this guy?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I don't know. I honestly, I think they're okay with
that because they want to bring in guys with big
time NBA bench ex But.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
That's the point a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
But that's the thing, right, you retain him as opposed
to shuffling out everything, so you at least have somebody
with the continuity of what this Celtics team just achieved,
underachieved wherever you sit on that grand continuum. But you
retain him, and you bring in some other folks to
help him with some situational basketball and to keep coaxing
(23:59):
whatever the relationship is and the growth of Jalen Brown
and Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So if that's what you're doing, just think about this
for a second. So Joe Mizula is coming back. On
the same day, the Athletic had reports that the Celtics
disagreed with Missoula and his strategy of ptsplacing too much
emphasis on offense and not enough defensively, which, oh my goodness,
I love the Celtics for that, right, Hey, we needed
to do better defensively, to the point where at the
(24:25):
end of some huddles they would say instead of one
two three Celtics, they would say one two three defense,
that's good, when that wasn't what was part of the cheer.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Well, but it'll sell you defense.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, I mean, you think of how effective that is
when you're at a game defense.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So this is where and again you wonder why the
Celtics are on my never again was so on the
day that they say we're bringing back Joe Mizula, story
gets out that the Celtics players disagreed with him.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You're going to bring in older.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Coaches, more season coaches to help, which if you need that,
why don't you just hire one of those guys. And
but you also say the plan we're bringing back Jalen Brown.
Jalen Brown's got the big contract extension, come in and
bring So the Celtics plan is when they weren't good
enough this year and other teams are going to improve,
the Celtics plan is we bring everybody back and hope
(25:15):
everybody improves. Really that's your plan, hey, same thing, and
hope when we change the calendar things are different. You
wonder why I pick the Celtics and never again, that's
not how you improve in sports. You don't improve by
saying we hope our coach gets better, we hope Jase
Tatum becomes a bigger leader's been in the league for
too long now, we hope Jalen Brown plays better. We
hope Derek White becomes a better player than you will. Like,
(25:36):
you can't just walk in and say, yeah, we hope
these guys all get better. These are not old guys
in the first year of their contracts. They're going, hey,
this guy's pretty good. Look, these guys have been in
the league for a while, and you're gonna say a
team that wasn't good enough, we just hope we improve
from within. That's a load of crap, man Celtics. This
is why I put my never againless because here they
are with a chance, Hey we're pretty good. We need
to make some movie to make sure we get better.
They need a big shooter, they need to figure something out,
(25:58):
they need a new mix of guys there. And they're
just gonna say we're gonna run it back again. It's
not a running back team.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Well, the absence of Brogden certainly plays a role in things,
But for Jalen Brown, situational stuff that needs to be better.
And certainly if the book is out and everybody can say,
you know what, make him go left, and that's a
that's a given to the process, right, It's like you
coached softball, you used to coach your daughter's soccer squad.
(26:27):
You knew which kids never touch the ball with their
off foot, right right foot, no matter.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
What they're going through. He's never touching the left foot, never.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
So you don't have to play defense the same way, right,
like with Jalen Brown, just force the news left. So
there's an offseason of that. But going back to the continuity, Look,
how many guys better than Jalen Brown, I mean, legitimately
in the NBA are there? Right? This is where we
start getting into list I don't want to get into
list radio.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
But but is he a periphery top twenty player yet?
But still but.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Still if he's periphery, right, even if you just down
downgrade him tremendously off what you saw in this last series,
that's fine. He's still a top twenty guy. You don't
get rid of top twenty guys. You don't want to
pay him like a top five guy. But unfortunately that's
the way the economics are.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Basket.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But if you're bringing him back and you're paying them
all that money, you don't have money to improve.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
So it's like we're just gonna bring everybody back and
hope next year will be better. We're gonna turn the
page in what are we gonna do differently?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Nothing? Well, you're coming back with your top two, and
then you start shuffling from there, and certainly you go
in you try to sell, sell, sell, But the continuity
of keeping Missoula there that in theory you can you know,
iron out some of these problems that you had in communication,
the problems that you had with some of the rotations,
and actually spend a good amount of your off season
(27:47):
on defense as opposed to reinstalling everything again.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Never again Celtics. I feel better about them being on
my never again list than I did a.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Couple of days.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You just hate me because I'm irish. I feel better.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Slash Match.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Game one is in the books and the Nuggets beat
the Heat one oh four to ninety three. This game
was over a long time ago. I said, Nuggets by twenty.
I'll take the l which is really a w.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
They almost got back to the number though, they did
right final minute. Yeah, he'd have the ball, and instead
they drive into the lane and the ball's lost out
of bounds back the other way and Denver runs out
the clock, but down eleven. With the all you orchestrate
a shot, maybe hit a three. Now we're at eight
(29:05):
and the line was around eight, so it was hovering
on either side of that, depending on when you got in.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
You might have been.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Able to at least get yourself a push had they
exercised a proper final setting in that offense. Instead, now
he fumbles it off his thigh and that's the end
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Now. We joked around a little bit ago. We told
you how the first I told you how the first
two games of the series are gonna go.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, I mean, you just said you're gonna dance. The
Nuggets gonna win by twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
They're gonna win Game two by twenty and then the
NBA was gonna make sure he gets Scott Foster and
Tony Brothers on a plane to Miami for Game three.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Do you think they get called like the the the
guys in Running Man to where suddenly there's a frantic
call in the back and they've got to get their
uniforms on.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Capting freedom to work. Ah, this doesn't work, Captain freedom
to wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
No. I think I think it called like firemen. Boo,
there's a big bell that goes. I gotta get dressed.
They get out of bed, put their referee shirts, call
the stalkers. You see Tony Brothers run out of his
bedroom and then run back because he forgets his whistle.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I put the whistle back.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
A r gliding down the pole like he's Batman. Where
so where so whist?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
But maybe they need to get them there for Game
two because the Miami Heat just set an NBA Finals record.
They put up the fact on on the screen on
ABC with about a minute and a half to go in
the game fewest free throw attempts in a game by
a team in NBA Finals history.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Three.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That was the record, the fewest attempts three tonight, good
news for the Heat, they were one hundred percent from
the free throw line. Bad news is they were two
for two. They took two free throws in the entire
game tonight. The Nuggets were sixteen out of twenty. The
(30:58):
Heat were two for two. Now, they took ninety six
shots on a lot of shots.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Okay, only thirty nine of those were three, So you're
telling me out of those other fifty seven attempts, only
one drew enough body hand, arm, eye, rake, eye, gouge,
punching the nose to get to the fall on just one.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yes, because it was complete domination, like I told you
by the notch.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Just physically.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
There was nobody bodied off the ball as they went
up for a shot, nobody got hit on the hand.
It was all just perfect defense Anthony Davis like defense
where he's beating the hell out of someone's like, well,
look at him. He's just a defensive force altering all
these shots. Yeah, if I could bang the guy halfway
across the lane that way, then yeah, I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Save that one tight shirt from HARMANGHI. I chose my
words specifically. Look now, because I created a picture. There's
who Yeah, and now you give me need nobody need anyway.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
There's two ways to look at this. Now there's three ways,
because now you get there's two.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Ways, three ways, there's one of Boy, I can't wait
to see what the Heat have to say after the game. Sure,
we didn't get free throws? How are we How do
we get to free throw attempts? I don't understand. The
other part of it is, what do we talk about
the very beginning of the show. What was the biggest
thing that you were able to see in the first
half of this game where the Nuggets raced out to
a lead. The Nuggets height advantage is tremendous. They are
(32:29):
so much bigger than the Heat, and not the Heat
were a team that hey, yeah they're a smaller team,
but the but the pronounced advantage wasn't nearly as much
as what you saw in this game here. So that's
got to be part of it too. Hey, when you're
a smaller team, tougher to get to the rack, tougher
to get to the free throw line, it's gonna be
more difficult. Again, this is why I say, Nuggets in
(32:51):
four you.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Just have to learn to flop a little bit better
and really sell the car as.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Your hit is that how you have to do it?
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Is that I have to do You gotta scream me
that or you gonna call coach Beard and blood curdling screams.
I mean, that's gonna get the attention to the officials
and anybody else within the earshot. But they only had
eight turnovers, because that's the other thing. If you want
to go from the how do you get optimistic that
you won't shoot as terribly, that you'll actually get to
the foul line in Game two and that at eight
(33:22):
turnovers you took care of the basketball fairly?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Well?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Will you be better? Game two? Twenty six assists on
their thirty nine makes for the night, and with some
hot shooting late, you were able to get up to
thirty three percent from three. But better days.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Nuggets in four, better days for the Nuggets. You want
to help that more? Game one coming up next.

Well.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Here we are, Game one of the NBA Finals. Yay,
I told you last night, Game one gonna be the
Nuggets by twenty, Game two, Nuggets by twenty. It's not
quite twenty, but it's almost there. Denver's been in control
the entire way seventy four to sixty and Mike Harmon.
The heat culture getting a big reality check right now.
(01:13):
Courtesy of Nikola Yoki who's turned into Magic Johnson Suddenly.
He may have forty five assists by the time this
game is over.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yeah, brick merely killed a guy. I mean a brick
thrown up by Duncan Robinson almost killed a man.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
High pressure front, high pressure frost. No, he steps away
from the defender. He's got a wide open three and
ricochet is it off the bottom of the backboard. If
someone was crashed in the glass, you know, like Derek
White the other day, it would not have ended well. Yeah,
would not have ended well.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
But it has been a difficult night for the Heat
would be the U the understatement of the year thirty
seven point seven percent seven exactly. He's just six of
twenty three from three point range points in the paint.
Denver in the first half had thirty two. There was
a fourteen point differential. There saw some work on the
(02:01):
rebounding totals from Miami, but you know what, they were
all off their own missus and you know what they did.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They missed again, So it really didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
This game has gone exactly how I thought it was
going to go. This what I mean, I mean, I
could I could take over for Shannon Charp, but I'm right.
I'm right about a lot of stuff this game right here,
you know what, you should be embarrassed for that time?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Why why, why, however? Why why why? I'm just telling
you I told you, I told you.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I hate to say I told you so. No, well
you got it in three and a half minutes into
the show, John by No, this has just been a
miserable effort shooting wise, and then defensively, you've had the
extra pass out of Jokic's hands. Uh, he didn't take
a shot until into the second quarter once again, or
right at the end of the first actually was right
(02:53):
before the East sat down for an extended period of
time and then the Miami Heat gained no traction there.
But the extra pass wide open looks, and many of
them were layups or dunks. Right, It's one thing if
you're crashing on to him and you've got Porter Junior
or one of these other guys decided they're going to
take an ill advised just inside the three point arc shot,
(03:13):
Hey have ad at all you want, But these were
just backdoor layups, wide open looks, flushes, et cetera. And
it just doesn't look like Spolstra and company, even with
one or two little runs in them. There's been no
ability to sustain or slow down this offense.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Look, there's a couple of things that I saw in
the first half that that you know going in, but
you don't see it until it actually happens. And that's
the Nuggets size advantage is tremendous. It's a lot more
work for the Miami Heat to get their baskets a.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Lot and it always was.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It was. I mean the regular season they were the
lowest scoring team in the league, right, but.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It wasn't a crazy it wasn't as crazy a differential
what you got to see in the first half, cause
you see how much bigger the Nuggets are, how much
easier it is for the Nuggets to get their shot.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And Gordon feasted and then he perhaps the greatest halftime
interview I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
He talked for like four minutes.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, he had like two or three questions that he
talked for nearly five minutes. Like normally, I said, Yeah,
we gotta play better now we're moving. No, here's you know,
a masterclass from Yokis today. You know we're all moving
off the ball well, and we know when Nicola looks
up and he sees us. If we're doing what we
need to, we're gonna get fed.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like all this. You know, everybody's looking around like, wait what.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm gonna go back to Sore and Kirkerguard, who gave
us this bell. You're familiar with Kirkerguard.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Let me let me go back to never talk to
another coach at halftime again.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Go back to the fifteenth century and tell you about
how the art of war has gone up from Uh,
but Laos, Sue and Kirkerguard in the first six minute. Wow,
you can tell how I'm bad and it's a different.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Hey, come on the art of war and the underdog story. No,
we cut him off and the knees are done. Give
us something new, give us something new. Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You could see that the Heat's attitude coming into this game,
and this is why the Nuggets this playoff. It's a
weird comparison, but follow me on it. They kind of
remind me of the Pain the way the Patriots used
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You could tell that that the Heat's strategy tonight was Okay,
we're gonna make everybody else but Jokic make shots, right,
where where as I told you the Lakers needed to
you stop Murray, Stop Jokic, let him get his things,
because he's gonna be a tough guy to guard. This
was we're gonna we're gonna see or we're gonna see
if somebody else and those guys can really win this game.
(05:24):
And Jokic was a huge distributor.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
In the first We have he assists or six assists
the first first quarter and then from there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, and what everybody is finding out is, oh crap,
the Nuggets supporting cast is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, Jamal, you're.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Gonna have free runs to the basket, I mean, and
Gordon Murray feasted.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I mean that.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That's what's impressed me so much about the Nuggets is
that they were playing a different kind of game from
the beginning. And here they are dominant, out to a
nineteen point lead. Now it's seventy nine to sixty with
less than three minutes ago in the third quarter. And
Jamal Murray has been everything we talked about this playoff.
I said, we're not talking about beginning of the playoffs.
I said, he's going to be a guy we need
to talk about more because he's the big X factor.
(06:05):
He is the key to the playoffs. And look where
he is right now Again, I hate to say I
told you so, but you can see him with twenty
four and eight and six. But the Nuggets have been
able to play any kind of game. And that's kind
of what I would watch the Patriots do for the
longest time, where a team would think, Okay, we know
how to attack them, and they come in with a
(06:25):
strategy and the Patriots would give them a different way
to play, and then I go, okay, all right, all right,
we got that. Okay, now for the next game, we're
gonna figure that out. But then the second game they
played against like I watched this with the Jets and
the Dolphins and the Bills all years. Okay, the Jets
think we know how to play the Patriots. We're gonna
go with this attitude week five, and the Patriots win
because they show him something nobody expected. All right, we'll
(06:47):
get We'll take care of that for week twelve in
the rematch. Meanwhile, the Patriots, Patriots are onto something else
and now instead of a run heavy game with a
blitz with a blitz package, they're gonna sit back and
coverage whatever it is, whatever you think you prepared for
the last time, doing something completely new and teams can't
catch up. And that's what I'm seeing right now, but
especially with the Lakers series. That happened is that the
(07:07):
Lakers just couldn't catch up to what the Nuggets were doing.
That a big chance in that first game to really
send a message to go, hey, we can come back
if they could have hit a shot late, but they couldn't.
That was the game they let get away. But everything
else they just couldn't catch up to what the Nuggets
were doing. Sometimes it was Yokic dominant, sometimes was Yokic
laying off. Sometimes it was Murray dominant sometimes and it
was so they were always one step behind. And that's
(07:29):
kind of what I see the heat tonight. They're one
step behind everything the Nuggets are trying to do. And
that's been the Nuggets team for the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, and in Game four, Lebron James was shot and
punched himself out. To mix sports analogies, you know, I
was also thinking about it for those that don't want
to talk about the Patriots or the Jets in this
analogy and kind of pushing them off to the side
to make everybody you.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Can't push the Jets off the side. We're gonna win
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
This well, we got a couple of months before we
need to worry about them. No, worry about it now.
But the boy, Hey, if you want to talk about
the jets I was talking about into pop culture, we
could talk about your analogy off to the side. We've
got of like the Raptors that you think you had
them figured out in Jurassic Park.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
But they were just testing defense the whole time. No,
they were stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
The rap come on, the kids pretended they were in
a bleeping reflection and the wrapping bam right into the
thing to twelve and an eight year old kid who
went on to play base and and Bohamian Rhapsody. They
fooled these dinosaurs. Come on, man, it couldn't.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Be that was their first exposure if they had that
option and they had to run that gauntlet again at
raptors figuring it out, knew how.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
To open the door. No, no, but that the reduction
was a new thing. That wasn't an I'm going that
fat Come on.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I mean maybe with Pratt later on, and they had
been taught about reflections and to collusions and that one.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I think they just thought it was the.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
People and also really the reflection, I don't think it
was going to be that clear. It kind of looked
like it was through a mirror. But this was in
a this is in a stainless steel it was well
kept kitchen. What are you talking about that that you're
not gonna be used? You're not gonna see there's no
detention there. It's mirror. I want to see myself like
it's a mirror. Either the raptors got screwed over by
(09:08):
a false mirror or they were too stupid to see that,
Oh this really isn't as sharp as it should be,
ran right into it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'm gonna say that, smart twelve year old eight year old.
See you're taking the negative approach. I'm saying I'm going
down the positive of there we're gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Joe Mizzula was able to outsmart you.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Hey, he outsmarted you. He's coaching for another year in courting.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Do you think we can do a game called Joe
Missoula or Joe Miszula and and and and you know
you have to pick one of them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Can we get Joey sus who when we're at it?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
But anyway, for the heat, it's just been a dismal showing, uh,
they got it to ten, right, you had a.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Vincent three point shot early third quarter?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Like all right?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Maybe nah?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Right back to uh surgeon like efficiency for these Denver
Nuggets lead now out to twenty four points as we
come up inside of a in it the third. Again,
I hate to say I told you so. Denver by twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No, it's a dangerous thing.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Denver by twenty in Game two. And then Scott Foster
and Tony Brothers to Miami for Game three.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Hey, guys, get on a plane. We gotta extend this thing.
If you guys get on a plane to go all right?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And can you do?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And I don't want to hear at the end when
the Nuggets win by twelve, you guys at the press
conference saying, well, we did all we could do is
referees event we gotta make shots. Jimmy Butler wasn't playoff, Jimmy,
he was, come on, this is what's happening. But but
this is what I this is what I you know,
I saw ahead in that the heat have been the
little engine that could this entire series. But this is
(10:38):
a completely different animal. Right, They've beaten teams that were
flawed tremendously. You saw the Flaws and the Celtics, right,
we'll get to them coming up in a bit, because
they had big news today. The Knicks flawed, didn't believe
in themselves, couldn't get Julius Rantld going. They threw up
on themselves, even though they gave the Heat a good
a good go. The Bucks, everything was so bad they
fired their head coach. Right, things were so bad they
(10:59):
lose in the first round. So yeah, okay, they beat
teams that you could say, boy, they beat a one,
they beat a four. But this team, this Denver Nuggets team,
they were the best team in the NBA all year long.
There was no doubt about it. They started out great.
They were great in the middle, they were great near
the end. They were great at the end. They've been
great in the playoffs. There's been no peaks. There's been
no valley peaks are good. There's been no valleys for
(11:20):
this Denver Nuggets team.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's all peaks. It's all peaks for Denver. They've been great.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They've been better than everybody else from the beginning to end,
wire to wire, the Nuggets have been the best team
in the NBA. It's gonna be no surprise we walk away.
What do you think of the twenty twenty two to
twenty three season it was owned by the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Sure, remember there will be peace in the valley. For me,
I hope is a dangerous thing. See. You know everybody
else can talk about different parts of the Shawshank redemption.
I stick with the theme of hope and for the
Miami Heat and they now have to go to the
mantra of well it's a run no four.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, I'll tell you nothing's perfect Shaw Shanks, Joshanks, Shoshank's perfect, Billy.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Joe's your out Now, that's perfect.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
To that's thinks perfect, that's perfect. Start going down our
list of things that are perfect.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
It says, okay, if they will customize. No, no, no, I'm
not having a well, I don't know if they're really
good nachos, I can eat them just about any helmet.
If they do have helmet nachos at Tears for Fears,
maybe I'll go and tailgate and you guys can like
bring me the helmet nachos out and I'll hang out
and watch a baseball game in the parking lot while
you guys are watching it. And instead of like salad
(13:16):
at the bottom of it, we're just gonna have hair.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Oh what what is that? It's the game used helmet.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
They did have a lot of hair. I don't know
that they do now.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So we pick up Zoe from school today them home,
We're like, well, what do you want to do. Because
it was one of those days we didn't have anything
going on. She goes, I'm kind of time. I think
I want to take a nap week at home, like okay.
So she comes home and we're all sitting in the
living room and so I said, I'm gona take a
nap right here. And I said, oh, I'll do stuff
on my iPad. Maybe I'll take a nap too. So
I go in to get my iPad. I come out
and Pam puts on the soft rock music channel on
(13:52):
the TV, and I'm like, all right, great, So I
sit down, I use the recliner, put my feet up.
And when I put the feet up in recliner and
I'm like, I'm here for a while, say I don't
want to I don't want to get down. I don't
want to have to get down. I'm done. So I
put my feet up there, turn my kindle on. I'm
gonna play a game or something and take a nap.
And all of a sudden, running up that hill comes
on and really, you've gotta be and it's a motivational
(14:16):
thing for you. In the afternoon, Zoe's got rods closer.
She goes, Dad, now you gotta listen to this, And
I'm like, oh, come on, come on, man, I mean
that well she orchestrated it. That was no, just turn
it on. I'm like, can we turn on like liquid
heavy metal or something? I'd rather hear that. Can it's
not helping you, nap?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Can we turn on can?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
We're not exercising you break?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, you need something a little a little more soothing.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Can we turn on the fifties channel so we can
listen to that one to three o'clock, four o'clock rocket?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Anything else other.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Than this Frankie Valley, I fall asleep to the Broadway
station on iHeart Radio.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh very nice, really nice company man, Mike Harmon, Yeah,

because it is the uh what is it? All access
iHeart Radio? You know, all sorts of deals across the
nation and some different sponsors and partners and everything else.
Pretty cool. But I did go through and I heard
the same ad for that three times off my presets

Speaker 3 (15:48):
What are they gonna do?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh well, they show me crying on a big plasma screen. Hey, look,
we're doing another sad song. Here's the other guy crying.
We're gonna watch him cry for five If you.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Do break down, though, I'm kind of like he did
a couple of times during the Ted Losso finale couplet.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You know, those those shows, they know how to get you.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It's like watching the Disney film.

getting all over the place, like I hate you all.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Rod Berg and.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I'm so sad because I'm sad for Yondu because I

Speaker 4 (16:31):
And he did get the Horns of Freedom though even
though Stone said he was never gonna hear him.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Jason, you went to see more stay in the times
and you're gonna talk crop it's just time time, no time.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
But you know, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
That you bring up, because you were you were going
all off on your capacity and how many people they're
gonna see, I mean, More's Day in the time you
said it was probably under a thousand people.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But whereas Tears for Fears?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
How many Alex thousands, a cast of foul thousands?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Five at the Hollywood Bowl by time ten K.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Already sold two thousand for how many how many concerts? Five?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Maybe? Yeah, okay, still fifty? It was Hey, today's gotta
go to fifty show? No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I had to go through a huge vetting process to
actually get tickets for that. I had to go through interviews,
I had to travel, I had to complete a triathlon.
You can't you can't just buy tickets More's Day. You
gotta find a way to win the man. You had
me until you said triath.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, the triathlon was these guys are falling over. The
triathlon was was was walking to the corner to mail
a letter, walking back, untying your shoes and taking a nap.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
That was a triathlon. Hey guys, Yeah, I have to
set list actually for what they're going to be.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Playing fantastic for Oh, let me guys, wait, let me guess.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
The first song is something to really depress you after
you've had a really bad day.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
That's the song number one. You got to get people
fired up.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Song number two is literally everybody wants to Rule the
World on repeat.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Who wants to hear that song again? That Jason you
Talk crowd.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
But they already did their tipping Point tour and now
they're doing part two because they sold so well.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh dude, I was I hit the tipping point with
them a long time. But they'm not going to that concert,
not doing it. Shout tonight.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Don't you want to sing sowing the seeds of love?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't want to sew anything, swing the seeds.
Speaker 1 (18:24):

song came out in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (18:28):

And believe it or not, that was all scripted. We

Speaker 2 (19:00):
To him.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Hey, Arian Foster has the script for all of our shows.
If you want to know what we're going to talk about,
just ask him.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
He'll know.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Sixteen point lead for the Nuggets right now, ninety to
seventy four, about seven minutes ago in the fourth quarter.
Steve Disaga will have more on this story coming up
in a couple of minutes. But the Celtics making a
lot of headlines today, and I'm gonna preface this by saying,
you wonder why I put them on my never again list?
You wonder why what did the Celtics decide to do.
(19:28):
Brad Stevens, who's been running the organization for the last
couple of years since getting kicked upstairs as a head
coach decided, Yes, we're bringing back Joe Mizzula.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Okay, And I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I thought he was going to be the fall guy,
because somebody's gonna have to be the fall guy there
in Boston for it. Okay, it's not Joe Mizzula, all right.
So they're bringing back Joe Mizula. And I can see
why because they did win fifty five games, they got
to the Eastern Conference Finals game seven. I bet Stevens
is worried, Hey, could this guy really be great head coach?
(20:01):
I don't know. We haven't really seen a lot, but
we haven't seen where the moment was too big for
him or the team quit on him.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So do we really want to.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Move on from a guy who could be a great
head coach? Because as we saw yesterday with Monti Williams
getting all that money. Way, if we let Joe Azula go,
is someone gonna sign him for a lot of money
because of what happened. Maybe he's really good and it's
a leap of faith that they're taking with. Maybe he's
good to maybe in year two he takes care of
a lot of things. Because it is it is a
(20:31):
deal for head coaches that you do learn a lot
in your first You like to think a new head
coach is gonna come in he has all the answers,
but they're learning on the job just like anybody else.
Robert Salo was a much better head coach last year
than he was two years ago. But so you see
it in guys, Hey, they learn a little bit more
because the first time they're doing it. So I get
that part of a Joe Mizula maybe maybe he could
be really really good, and so we're gonna bring him
(20:53):
back for another year.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah. I think part of it is you didn't get
a true normal ramp up to things because of the
way the Audoka situation was handled. So I think there's
some of that that folds in. As well as for
the moment being too big for him, well, we had
certainly plenty of moments where you could have made the argument, well,
(21:14):
did his players over underwhelmed to a grand degree or
was it partially his failure in terms of time out
management and how the bench was managed. But certainly you
had both Tatum and Jalen Brown come up small ish
to be kind in some big moments, and Jalen Brown
in that closing game was atrocious. I think he said
(21:37):
it perfectly himself about how terribly he had played. But
you saw all during this series and all during the playoffs,
whenever their backs were against the wall. To a man,
they talked up Joe Mizula. They had his back and
believed that he is the man. Now there's fourteen million
dollars left on his contract, and given the money we
(21:58):
were talking about with Manti Williams, well that doesn't matters.
Like no, it does. There's still plenty of teams out
there that fourteen million dollars isn't something they just want
to give away. Think about Al Davison the number of times, Yeah,
you want your money, sue me, sue me, come back
for it. But with Missoula, to your point, you want
a lot of games, and we try to. We're trying
(22:19):
to figure out you and I as we do this
night by night watching the games of the NBA regular season.
You're trying to get a true assessment of what the
regular season is. Right, where's that line? Because being the
best in the regular season, given the fact that a
lot of teams stars don't play but seventy percent of
their games truly hard to decide how great a regular
(22:42):
season is. But they played well, they won fifty five games.
The East was deeper this year, right, Let mean, look
at what the Heat are doing. But you had a
couple of teams that, but for injuries and a couple
of bad runs towards the end of the season, we're
still viable in the back end of that playoff brackets.
He say, all right, you outlasted, you outwitted, you out
played blah blah blah, and Budenholzer ed gotten dismissed. You
(23:07):
talk Moni Williams Doc Rivers for whatever, whatever you like
or don't like, he does have a title, and he
seems to be a guy that teams love to bring on.
And he's still floating, floating out there. So you're looking
at your alternatives if you're going to make a firing.
The other thing is you're gonna lose a bunch of
your assistants. Right, So how long Domeo Dolka? So how
much of that plays in also of you know what,
(23:29):
we got to keep this guy?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I don't know. I honestly, I think they're okay with
that because they want to bring in guys with big
time NBA bench ex But.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
That's the point a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
But that's the thing, right, you retain him as opposed
to shuffling out everything, so you at least have somebody
with the continuity of what this Celtics team just achieved,
underachieved wherever you sit on that grand continuum. But you
retain him, and you bring in some other folks to
help him with some situational basketball and to keep coaxing
(23:59):
whatever the relationship is and the growth of Jalen Brown
and Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So if that's what you're doing, just think about this
for a second. So Joe Mizula is coming back. On
the same day, the Athletic had reports that the Celtics
disagreed with Missoula and his strategy of ptsplacing too much
emphasis on offense and not enough defensively, which, oh my goodness,
I love the Celtics for that, right, Hey, we needed
to do better defensively, to the point where at the
(24:25):
end of some huddles they would say instead of one
two three Celtics, they would say one two three defense,
that's good, when that wasn't what was part of the cheer.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Well, but it'll sell you defense.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, I mean, you think of how effective that is
when you're at a game defense.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So this is where and again you wonder why the
Celtics are on my never again was so on the
day that they say we're bringing back Joe Mizula, story
gets out that the Celtics players disagreed with him.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You're going to bring in older.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Coaches, more season coaches to help, which if you need that,
why don't you just hire one of those guys. And
but you also say the plan we're bringing back Jalen Brown.
Jalen Brown's got the big contract extension, come in and
bring So the Celtics plan is when they weren't good
enough this year and other teams are going to improve,
the Celtics plan is we bring everybody back and hope
(25:15):
everybody improves. Really that's your plan, hey, same thing, and
hope when we change the calendar things are different. You
wonder why I pick the Celtics and never again, that's
not how you improve in sports. You don't improve by
saying we hope our coach gets better, we hope Jase
Tatum becomes a bigger leader's been in the league for
too long now, we hope Jalen Brown plays better. We
hope Derek White becomes a better player than you will. Like,
(25:36):
you can't just walk in and say, yeah, we hope
these guys all get better. These are not old guys
in the first year of their contracts. They're going, hey,
this guy's pretty good. Look, these guys have been in
the league for a while, and you're gonna say a
team that wasn't good enough, we just hope we improve
from within. That's a load of crap, man Celtics. This
is why I put my never againless because here they
are with a chance, Hey we're pretty good. We need
to make some movie to make sure we get better.
They need a big shooter, they need to figure something out,
(25:58):
they need a new mix of guys there. And they're
just gonna say we're gonna run it back again. It's
not a running back team.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Well, the absence of Brogden certainly plays a role in things,
But for Jalen Brown, situational stuff that needs to be better.
And certainly if the book is out and everybody can say,
you know what, make him go left, and that's a
that's a given to the process, right, It's like you
coached softball, you used to coach your daughter's soccer squad.
(26:27):
You knew which kids never touch the ball with their
off foot, right right foot, no matter.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
What they're going through. He's never touching the left foot, never.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
So you don't have to play defense the same way, right,
like with Jalen Brown, just force the news left. So
there's an offseason of that. But going back to the continuity, Look,
how many guys better than Jalen Brown, I mean, legitimately
in the NBA are there? Right? This is where we
start getting into list I don't want to get into
list radio.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
But but is he a periphery top twenty player yet?
But still but.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Still if he's periphery, right, even if you just down
downgrade him tremendously off what you saw in this last series,
that's fine. He's still a top twenty guy. You don't
get rid of top twenty guys. You don't want to
pay him like a top five guy. But unfortunately that's
the way the economics are.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Basket.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But if you're bringing him back and you're paying them
all that money, you don't have money to improve.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
So it's like we're just gonna bring everybody back and
hope next year will be better. We're gonna turn the
page in what are we gonna do differently?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Nothing? Well, you're coming back with your top two, and
then you start shuffling from there, and certainly you go
in you try to sell, sell, sell, But the continuity
of keeping Missoula there that in theory you can you know,
iron out some of these problems that you had in communication,
the problems that you had with some of the rotations,
and actually spend a good amount of your off season
(27:47):
on defense as opposed to reinstalling everything again.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Never again Celtics. I feel better about them being on
my never again list than I did a.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Couple of days.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You just hate me because I'm irish. I feel better.

Game one is in the books and the Nuggets beat
the Heat one oh four to ninety three. This game
was over a long time ago. I said, Nuggets by twenty.
I'll take the l which is really a w.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
They almost got back to the number though, they did
right final minute. Yeah, he'd have the ball, and instead
they drive into the lane and the ball's lost out
of bounds back the other way and Denver runs out
the clock, but down eleven. With the all you orchestrate
a shot, maybe hit a three. Now we're at eight
(29:05):
and the line was around eight, so it was hovering
on either side of that, depending on when you got in.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
You might have been.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Able to at least get yourself a push had they
exercised a proper final setting in that offense. Instead, now
he fumbles it off his thigh and that's the end
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Now. We joked around a little bit ago. We told
you how the first I told you how the first
two games of the series are gonna go.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, I mean, you just said you're gonna dance. The
Nuggets gonna win by twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
They're gonna win Game two by twenty and then the
NBA was gonna make sure he gets Scott Foster and
Tony Brothers on a plane to Miami for Game three.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Do you think they get called like the the the
guys in Running Man to where suddenly there's a frantic
call in the back and they've got to get their
uniforms on.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Capting freedom to work. Ah, this doesn't work, Captain freedom
to wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
No. I think I think it called like firemen. Boo,
there's a big bell that goes. I gotta get dressed.
They get out of bed, put their referee shirts, call
the stalkers. You see Tony Brothers run out of his
bedroom and then run back because he forgets his whistle.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I put the whistle back.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
A r gliding down the pole like he's Batman. Where
so where so whist?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
But maybe they need to get them there for Game
two because the Miami Heat just set an NBA Finals record.
They put up the fact on on the screen on
ABC with about a minute and a half to go in
the game fewest free throw attempts in a game by
a team in NBA Finals history.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Three.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That was the record, the fewest attempts three tonight, good
news for the Heat, they were one hundred percent from
the free throw line. Bad news is they were two
for two. They took two free throws in the entire
game tonight. The Nuggets were sixteen out of twenty. The
(30:58):
Heat were two for two. Now, they took ninety six
shots on a lot of shots.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Okay, only thirty nine of those were three, So you're
telling me out of those other fifty seven attempts, only
one drew enough body hand, arm, eye, rake, eye, gouge,
punching the nose to get to the fall on just one.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yes, because it was complete domination, like I told you
by the notch.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Just physically.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
There was nobody bodied off the ball as they went
up for a shot, nobody got hit on the hand.
It was all just perfect defense Anthony Davis like defense
where he's beating the hell out of someone's like, well,
look at him. He's just a defensive force altering all
these shots. Yeah, if I could bang the guy halfway
across the lane that way, then yeah, I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Save that one tight shirt from HARMANGHI. I chose my
words specifically. Look now, because I created a picture. There's
who Yeah, and now you give me need nobody need anyway.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
There's two ways to look at this. Now there's three ways,
because now you get there's two.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Ways, three ways, there's one of Boy, I can't wait
to see what the Heat have to say after the game. Sure,
we didn't get free throws? How are we How do
we get to free throw attempts? I don't understand. The
other part of it is, what do we talk about
the very beginning of the show. What was the biggest
thing that you were able to see in the first
half of this game where the Nuggets raced out to
a lead. The Nuggets height advantage is tremendous. They are
(32:29):
so much bigger than the Heat, and not the Heat
were a team that hey, yeah they're a smaller team,
but the but the pronounced advantage wasn't nearly as much
as what you saw in this game here. So that's
got to be part of it too. Hey, when you're
a smaller team, tougher to get to the rack, tougher
to get to the free throw line, it's gonna be
more difficult. Again, this is why I say, Nuggets in
(32:51):
four you.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Just have to learn to flop a little bit better
and really sell the car as.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Your hit is that how you have to do it?
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Is that I have to do You gotta scream me
that or you gonna call coach Beard and blood curdling screams.
I mean, that's gonna get the attention to the officials
and anybody else within the earshot. But they only had
eight turnovers, because that's the other thing. If you want
to go from the how do you get optimistic that
you won't shoot as terribly, that you'll actually get to
the foul line in Game two and that at eight
(33:22):
turnovers you took care of the basketball fairly?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Well?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Will you be better? Game two? Twenty six assists on
their thirty nine makes for the night, and with some
hot shooting late, you were able to get up to
thirty three percent from three. But better days.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Nuggets in four, better days for the Nuggets. You want
to help that more? Game one coming up next.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
