(02:28):
Go get your tickets now. The t Wolves knock out
the Lakers. God, I was pressed for time. What I
meant to say, Lakers going home in five, That's what
I meant. But y'all, you know, y'all, y'all, don't let
me finish my fons. Don't let me finish my sentences.
If somebody would have told me, Joe that ad Man
was gonna struggle shooting the ball tonight and they were
(02:51):
gonna win this game because Rudy Gobert was gonna be
one of the few guys in a playoff game to
have a twenty twenty game, I would do, say, Ole, Gay,
I like that. Rudy Gobert came into the game averaging
three points and six rebounds on the ninth and he
gave you twenty seven and twenty four. He gave you
nine offensive rebounds. They had eighteen offensive rebounds. They crushed
(03:12):
the Lakers on the glass fifty four to thirty seven,
eighteen to eight on the offensive end, thirty six to
twenty nine on the defensive end, or total of fifty
four for the Wolves, thirty seven for the Lakers, and
you get.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Ad Man shooting five of nineteen for fifteen points.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You got jayde Daniel that was in foul troub He
ended up filing out with only eight points. Mike Conley
did hit a big three down the stretch, but he
only had eight points. But again it was the undoing
of their bench. They got twenty two points from their bench,
the Lakers got four. I'm gonna say this and I'm
gonna turn over to you, Joe JJ Stubborn for him
not to play Jackson Hayes to play Maxi Kleeber who
(03:52):
hadn't played I don't know the last time he played,
and you play him and a lot of these guys
like and like I'm saying, I'm not saying it with
the different but it's like, you're not don't play the
guy at all.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
After Rudy because you put Lebron into four.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You're so small, Yeah, you're really really small because Lebron
is six, not so Lebron is the tallest guy you got.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And Rudy just we was playing tap tap tap tap tap.
What did you like?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
How do how were the Wolves able to win this game?
And on the road in a hostile environment. I think
the t Wolves really knew it was at stake tonight,
you know, knowing that they wanted to try to go
and get this old with you know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The Lakers looked so lethargic on to start the game.
It's like they did the t Wolves no sense of urgency.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The t Wolves had all the energy, They had the
sense of urgency as if they was on the brink,
you know what I mean. And uh, they kind of
controlled the whole entire game.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It wasn't one time in the game where I thought
the Lakers, you know, even though they made their little
surgeon at the end. Yeah, I got a one point lead, yep,
But I never felt threatened that they was gonna win
the game.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They just had no fluidity offensively, no no chemistry. It
was just pick and roll, trying to exploit Brun and
the posts and Man. Even though Man then he didn't
shoot well, I thought he put a lot of pressure
on those guys, and Rudy won the game for you.
This is why you probably put Dorian Finnish Smith at
the five, because you really want to eliminate Rudy you
(05:15):
want to get him to where he can't play, because
he's bound to have a game like this, to where
he can win you a game.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And tonight, I mean, man, everything was falling this way from.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The lobs, the putbacks just being aggressive. Randall, probably I'll
give him the game, but I know Rudy was special. Tonight, Baranda,
they have no answer for him when they run the
pick and roll and get a mismatch.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Even if they played great defense.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
He's still banging on one time getting to a great shot,
you know what I mean. So their interior just has
no presence. And we knew this coming into the playoffs.
We knew they had no interior prisons. And tonight's show Man,
they got war down in this series and the young
t Wolves took advantage man of a wounded animal.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Because they o jo you and not talked about this.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
O Jo, I said, o Cho, they don't have a big,
I said, if they run into somebody with a big
that can punish them. We were looking at I was
looking at it from a standpoint well, okay, okay, if
they run into Yokic, yes, or if they run it
and I'm trying to think of the bigs that was
in there, maybe if they run into Sint Shingoon. But
I wasn't thinking about Rudy Gobert because I don't think
of Rudy Gobert as an offensive weapon. This was Rudy
(06:23):
Gobar's twenty seven points playoff career high, twenty four rebounds
playoff career high.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
O Jo, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm gonna let you have it out for this players
with at least twenty five points and and twenty rebounds
on seventy five percent field goal shooting. How do you
like these names? Shaquille O'Neill, Will, Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Hoo Grad,
West Thumbso, Rudy Gobert, Shaq MVP, Will four times MVP, Moses,
(06:53):
three time MVP. Hole Grad was a very important cob
to a championship in Chicago and in at the Lakers
West sum Saild. He just happened to have been Rookie
of the Year and MVP in the same season, but
also in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah, I thought
it was great. I thought it was great. Then I
thought Rudy was great. Uh, he's in there with some
(07:14):
of the greats now you know, and he gave the Lakers.
He gave him problems tonight, k Joe. You know they Yeah,
they had no But I thought he played great off
of random in Edwards. You know what I mean, meaning
by their aggression getting to the basket, whether it's him
getting put the help come.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They kind of got him going because he scored.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It opened him up because now you come to help,
you come, y'all gets beat, you go to help. You
see him lobbing. Because here's the thing, they didn't run
down one play for Rudy. Now, all he did was
getting he called lobs and he got it off the
rim and dunk at home.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, and he got up early.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He got he got a couple of easy layups and
dunk's early, which kind of got him going.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And he kind of carried that throughout the whole night.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And defensively he was a master blocking shots all twin shots.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And offensively he was just a clean up man. Yeah,
what's your thing, go Joe?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Hey, listen, not only was it a clean up man
to peedback on what Joe talked about, Listen, when you
get cut and they tell you not to get a notion,
they tell you not to get a notion for a reason.
Does one sharks smell of blood in the water, were
they coming to get you? In the timber will spell?
They smell blood to night. A game like this three
to one, you know, you got to put some type
of effort, some type of intensity going forward.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
The Lakers came out, they came out flat. They came
out flat.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The Wolves had already beat them, beat him at home before,
so coming into again, coming into.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
The hostile environment, they already got confidence because.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We listen, we've already done it before. So what's the
chance that we can do it again? The likelihood is
probably good even with Anthony Air, but not having a
type of game you have to have. You have the
unlikely person that comes out and wins a game for you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Wi go Bell.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
He dominated both both ends of the court, neutralized it
la la and drives having he feasted on second chance points.
Fucking looking bad. It's looking bad.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was bad bad. Listen, And no, I don't I
don't know how you feel. I feel for you.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Even with Akan really struggling from the field, Uh, Julius Randall,
they had no answer for him.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Thank no, that's the fun, you know. And he's a
he's a big body that loves the Bang. It takes
it out of you. If, like I said, if you
told me that the ad Man gonna play forty three minutes, Joe,
he gonna go five or nineteen from the floor, He'll
be zero of eleven from three.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I said, Oh, Joe, we got it with in the Bang.
We got I know. Look, Julius Randall is gonna give
you Julius Randell.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, but ju he's gonna be somewhere between eighteen and
twenty five. Okay, I'm not worth so so, but you're
telling me ad Man is gonna struggle cuse so I'm
looking okay, so, so who else can win the game?
I saw Jade and Daniels play really well. Uh, nobs
readers had a game. Nod Reid played twenty one minutes.
He gave you three points. Yeah, I mean, uh, Devincenzo
(09:52):
he was three or thirteen, two or twelve. He gave
you a nine point nakill. Alexander Walker he gave you
ten points. Ain't know that was the in production. But
if you tell me they're gonna fight, y'all go. The
Lakers are gonna hold the tea wools forty percent from
the floor.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Fifteen percent from the three point line.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh, Joe, we hey, Joe, we go, Hey Joe, We're
going back to Minnesota, and I ain't talking about to
them all of America.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
We going back to the kick butt. Hey, it don't
seem it seemed.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Like the Lakers had exhaust almost every option just to
get a bucket. It seems so hard for them to
come across points. I'm like, man, why why does it
seem like it's so hard for them to score? And
in meanwhile, Minnesota is just putting their head down getting
to the basket. Files layups and well shot thirty shot
thirty three free throws gave vinc to the last two games.
(10:39):
Adin't give him no points. He played twenty six minutes. Uh,
he did get a couple of rebounds, a couple of cents.
But you can't win like that. Jeff Vanderbilt, he's a
lot like Ben Simmons. He's not really looking to score
unless he got an uncontested lay up or dunk.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
So now that hurts you on the offensive end because
they know that. So now his guy's gonna always look
to help. Uh, you know, give give the Wolves. Give
the Wolves credit they deserved. They earned this one man
Laker sixteen points in the fourth quarter. You're right there,
you down ten, you claw back, you're out scoring thirty
one to twenty two.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So you down one and miss free throws out oft.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Think look like I said, Luca hurt that back, and
I was surprised that he was able to come back
in and give you what he had. He did give
you sixteen points in the second half. Lebron didn't play
well tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Ruy. I thought Rud played really well tonight and gave
him a grand Bull was at.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Rue was at there, hot but hitting threes.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Austar Reed struggled to get I mean ostar Reed struggled
again shooting the ball. A look, you got you got
three guys. The Lakers are gonna have to get some depth, though, Joe.
They're gonna have to get somebody to come off the bench.
They need a big, bad and I understand there's no
bigs out there.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Old show you and I was talking about this. They
got Alex Lynn.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All they got is the same foot coach he probably
to go coach high school, build assistant in college. He
gave them nothing and then he became unplayable. Jackson Hayes,
I just don't.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Look.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I don't think they were counting on him to give
them much, but he really didn't give them anything. He became,
he became what I expected Rudy go Better become, which
was unplayable. But here's the thing, though, you see, the
regular season is so much different than the playoffs. Okay,
you've seen how right when they got Luca they had
their search or where they was playing, Well, everybody was talking, yes,
(12:27):
he was gonna come out the West, and they were.
They were number one in defense. I don't know how,
but they were number one in defense, and they was
playing some extreme basketball. But when you get to the playoffs,
the playoffs, you want to exposed teams weaknesses, right, yes,
you want to try to eliminate their strengths and expose
their weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Their weaknesses was the interior presence.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
On offense and defense they had, Yes, they didn't have
no answer for that. They exploiteded the Timberwolves explored the
Lakers all all series.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Since from Game one, I was like, man, the Timberwolves.
They scared me. They came in, they want to do
to the game one at home court throughout and they
gentleman's sweet, you know, closing the deal on the road.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I got a question for y'all. Now listen, you said,
you said J. J.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Bredick was stubborn, you know, based on the station, on
what he was able to, what he did with the bench.
When you think about the rotation, you think about the
bench for the lack of production that they already have,
where the rotation even matter.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
All you have is Luca.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And Lebron al didn't show up when we showed up tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But they're so they're so inconsistent in game the game. Hell,
it's confusing JJ on what he needs to be able
to do to even give them a chance to win
when everybody's playing so inconsistent, sometimes not Lebron had nights off,
sometimes Luca had nights off, So he can't even find
himself in the rhythm to get the right rotation the game,
(14:00):
even giving the Laggas a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I say, he's stubborn. What did he do? What did
he doing? What did he do?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
In game four? He played us and he played there
starting five the entire second half. You see, that's stubborn.
You see, Okay, Jackson Hayes, You're not gonna Jackson Hayes
doesn't even take it, doesn't take his warm up off.
That's stubborn, because well, Jackson, you're not giving us anything anyway.
But at that at some point in time, you're like, well, hey,
we got to have somebody to try to keep a
(14:25):
You got one job, Jackson, keep Rudy off the glass.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, I don't know. That's the only that's your only job.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
And but how do you gonna keep when you're Rudy's
seventy two and your tallest guy six'. NINE i, mean
he JUST i mean he's just reaching, up getting the
ball and dunking it back. In they're doing dump off,
because LIKE i, said you got forty years, Old, lebron
And lebron is not sitting in the chair. Anymore out
why He'll, hey he, can he'll make a great chase.
Down he weak sided and occasionally he can make a,
(14:52):
play but that's not his that's not where he's great.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
At.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Currently luca can't play. Defense ar can't play. Defense so
you get guys getting beat up one to two. Dribbles
so now your interior has to. Come so even even
though they're not real, protectors they. Come they drop Off Rudy.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Pool, Yeah. Rudy look with the LOB jj went to their.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Zone broun, say cong we got to, go, man, fine
we got to get out the. Zone they picking us.
Apart they any wrinkle in there to try to switch it.
Up but anything that The lakers, did it was wrong,
Tonight Uncle ojo The Tea. Wolves when they went to their,
zone what they Do they hit the middle of the.
Zone now we got to dump down To ruty or
that's it praying for. Three you're giving us too many.
(15:34):
Options this is is too. Easy, yeah when you got,
guys first of, all you got a presence Inside, yeah
seven two seven Three Rudy, gobert and you got, guys
and you're so afraid that they're gonna make the. Three
so now you're scrambling to try to get out to the.
(15:55):
Three so if you, miss because you got guys, scrambling
that means. Somebody that means A Gabe, vincent that means A.
Dobe it's trying to Hold Rudy Rudy gobert from getting
an offensive. Rebound that's not gonna. WORK i have, it
that's not gonna. Work but you know, What, look we
can talk about. This this says more about The. Wolves
(16:15):
we know The lakers have some. Deficiencies it's gonna be
interesting to see how they how they repair those because
they got. Problems this ain't, No this ain't no situation
where we can troublesh. You you know What i'm. Saying
we going for. Today we got, Problems, joe we got.
Problems this ain't no trouble, shoot this ain't no. Issue
(16:36):
if this is a, problem, see we can troublesh. You
we can troublesh you issues like, OKAY i think you're like, okay,
okay we'll try this try, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No this is a major problem that we got right.
Here hold, on hold, on hold all on.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Them let's let's let's talk about one thing about. Problems
there has to be a. Solution when you say this
there's a, problem there has.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
To be a.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Solution you say there's no tumble, shooting and you say
they needed a Big what would you like to see
The lakers do going forward going into next season that
will give them a chance because having it big is
a good thing down the stretch in the. Playoffs so
when you come to when you're playing games like, this
you can go big where you're not playing as small
where you at a, disadvantage or do you go and
get another, superstar make it a big not only another.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
SUPERSTAR i don't know if you have the pieces to
go get another, superstar because now that's gonna even that's
gonna even weaken more of your depth because you don't
have depth to begin.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
With remember that's what Kill. Phoenix they got no.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Depth so, yeah you got three big, guys but when
you when one of those guys go out or two
of those guys go, out now what do you? Have
so If luca is Basically luca And lebron can never
leave the court. Together if you know, that what they
always got to be. Staggered so Normally luca plays the
entire first, Quarter lebron plays about nine to ten, Minutes
luca starts the game on the, Bench lebron comes, back
(17:52):
and So lebron normally goes out with about six minutes
six or seven minutes and the second. Quarter so he
knowed they tried to Play lebron somewhere between sixteen to
eighteen minutes in the first. Half luca's gonna play somewhere
between eighteen and twenty minutes in the first. Half they
they they got. To, LOOK i would have liked to
see them Get valentounas he's a guy that can. Rebound
(18:14):
he can give. You he's a more of an offensive
weapon than Than Jackson. Hayes he's more of a defensive.
President he can bang a little bit. Better but that's
what they need. Now they're not gonna get somebody that's
an all star big that ain't, happening no. Soul you
would have to piece it together and make.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do but they got they no piecing. Together that's what
they've been. Doing they had duct tape tied to the
goddamn season.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Already, well you're gonna have to piece. This you gonna
still have a piece, TOGETHER O, joe because you Got.
Luca you're gonna have to Make muka Offer. Lebron it
all Depends lebron can opt. Out does he opt? Out
take less money so they can go get somebody that's
better than a mid. Level maybe you have to get
somebody Or, joe that's that's gonna that's.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That'll play for around fifteen.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Million because you try to go get somebody on a mid,
level or you try to get somebody on a on
a men.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
DEAL i don't know if. THAT i don't know if.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
That's enough Because kyrie and a d They, hey The
wolve's gonna, okay, see he's not going, anywhere. Right The
timberwolves aren't going. Anywhere you See, Houston they're gonna try
to get a. Superstar houston's gonna try to Land Kevin
durant and they might be willing to give up one
or two of those young pieces in order to do
(19:26):
it in some of those draft picks in order to do.
It So steph And Jimmy, Butler, draymond they're not going.
Anywhere so The, Lakers, yeah they got two, superstars but
that's not enough. Anymore you need auxiliary, pieces and those
auxiliary pieces aren't good enough currently for what The lakers.
Have now they're gonna they're gonna try to spend. It,
(19:48):
well we didn't have time to play. Together you had
more than enough. Time you're not good. Enough, YEAH i
mean they're not good enough right, Now. Joe they not
not not to win the. Championship not that can be for.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
One. Uh they definitely got to improve the depth the.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Bench they gotta have some some guaranteed coming off the. Bench, okay, Oh,
jo somebody who can coming to the, game change the,
game change the dynamic of the, game maybe give you
a spurt here and. There but having to put all this,
on this on On luca And broun is just too
much to, care especially out in The West.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Man they just too, out you know WHAT i, mean
Especially lebroad at his.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Age so basically What i'm hearing from y'all IS i
heard the report in, pregame ASK jj a question about.
Rotation Then i'm, thinking now we both both of you
have shared your your your your expertise on the bench
not being. Good so basically JJ's hands are. Tied so
(20:45):
what are you doing with the? Rotation what are you
doing with the bench in? Game and damn they're justified
based on what we're all. Saying, oh, y'all so he
had no choice.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
At some point in. Time the job of a coach
is to try something.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Different just because it didn't work last game doesn't mean
it won't work this. Game you got to, try so
you just so you see a team gashing, you you're, like,
well oh well, babe we just go stay in this,
coverage so we'll stay in the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Front, listen you said about try something. Different they didn't
play the whole, season we're in the. Playoffs, well if
it really gave us nothing during the, season navigate to the.
Playoffs what's the chance of. IT i don't want the
game to get away from. US i don't want the
game to sip. Away so what AM i gonna? Do
i'm gonna keep the people in that give us our
best chance to.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Win but here's the. Thing you've never gotten out rebounded
in the previous. Games you didn't get out rebounded by. Seventeen,
yeah They, rudy go Bet. Rudy Rudy gobert averaged three
points and six. Rebounds now he's got fifteen to, nine
fifteen and twelve in the first.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Half what you want to try something?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Different so all of a, sudden the guy that was averaging,
three he had fifteen at the, half with twenty four
more minutes to. Go he normally gives you six rebounding he's,
three four or five rebounds clear of that. Already so
clearly WHAT i. Anticipated you know, what, GUYS i was
gonna go with this this small. ROTATION i got to expand.
That i'm, saying guy's got to be. Ready you, Know,
(22:08):
Joe sometimes you're, like, hey you don't anticipate the guy getting.
In he don't might not a tentipate playing and a
desperate time called for desperate, measures and so you bring
that to the. Table Anthony edwards his last three. Series this,
series he knocked Out luca And. Lebron last year he
knocked Out Joki, murray and he also knocked Out katie And.
Book he's twenty. Three he got some pilps on his. Wall,
(22:28):
hey guess what the man ain't. Done, no, no he ain't.
Done he just got out started twenty. Three, uh they
take on the. Winner he then he got a favorite
favorable bracket because they take on the winner Of Golden State.
Houston so you you, avoid you avoid potentially, okay, see
you avoid potentially The, nuggets you avoid potentially The clippers
(22:51):
until The Western conference. Finals If i'm, hey, look If
i'm The, wolves that's that's Exactly that's the exact ROUTE
i was looking.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
At tay it, Right oh, yeah for.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Sure, yeah because if they let's say they do pour
The warriors out and, uh you know they got to
play The warriors in the second. Round, UH i think
they can beat The. WARRIORS i think they do with
the size that they. Have you see what they did
to The lakers throughout this. SERIES i think they're well
and capable of doing this exact same thing to The,
warriors because The warriors are, small.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Too very.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Small because the question is how do they? Play because Dray,
bond you like to Play draymond at the? Five Dray
bard's got to deal with. You gotta deal With Radam, now,
okay you put him on You. Rabdom do that mean
you Play Kaban looney or you Take Jackson? Davis so
do You they don't like to play two. Bids they
like to. Play they like to Play draymond at the.
FIVE i tell, YOU i, Think, UH i don't. KNOW
(23:47):
i think that maybe maybe The warriors stick to the.
Guns BUT i think The wolves are definitely gonna stick
to what they've been doing because it's got them to
it's gonna get them to the next, round.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Honestly.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Uh AND i think with them just coming in with the,
aggression the confidence for winning this series against The, lakers,
man the swagers. High they're, clicking, playing playing the right
way at the right. Time everything is you, know, timing
you know WHAT i? Mean and right, now, yep, man
they look like a tough team to beat in the
seven game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
SERIES oho they Do.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Lebron In game five he was twenty two, points seven,
rebound six, assists nine of twenty one one to five for,
three three or six from the free throw. Line he
had seven, rebounds six, assists two, steals three. Turnovers he
DID i didn't think he played. WELL i, mean, look
you talk about a guy that's gonna probably be on
the first and second Team ALL nba at the age
(24:38):
of forty in year twenty. Two so twenty four to
eight and eight is the first season in twenty years
that he didn't have average at least twenty five.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Points he's An All.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Star most twenty point games by forty zerh thirty point,
games forty point, games most points rebounds three, points and
they most points rebounds. ASSISTANT i, mean as he goes,
on he always gonna be guess what in year twenty,
three he's gonna have the most, points most twenty, points
most thirty, points most forty. Points he will have the most,
points most, rebounds the most, assists most, steals the most.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Blocked and if he plays twenty four, seasons he's gonna
have The.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Once you get to a certain, LEVEL O, Joe So
it's Like Elon, Musk he's the words richest.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Man every dollar he gets he adds to.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That, yeah So lebron every year that he, plays he
just adds to what SOMEBODY'S i. Mean Vince carter year twenty,
Two uh HE i think he averaged what five points a?
Game lebron averaged twenty four points a game twenty four
eight to eight special Special luca donchets he uh twenty
(25:43):
eight eight naytan. Two he led The lakers and points
lead The lakers and assists lead The lakers and steals
three point Of maids? Playoff serious sin is the? Trade mavericks,
None lakers? None does this trade change now Consume luca
got bounced in the first? Round does it change your
view on the? Trade are we still upset At nico
(26:04):
for making this? Move Joe, NAH i still like the
trade for The. Lakers you, KNOW i just Want luca to,
really you, know getting get in the gym this this this, Summer, Okay,
joe really get his body right so he's able to
go through a, grueling TAXING nba season and come out
and be ready for the. Postseason because the postseason is
(26:27):
ultimately what we play for And it just seems to.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Me every he wears down every, year every, postseason.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Man he's bogged down with, injuries and it just seems
like every play it hurts. Him it hurts him, defense
but offensively he can get to that step back still some, way.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Somebody but, YEAH i.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Think he just really got to take on the, ship
bro and just get his body right and come back
ready to. COMPETE i, Agree, JOE i agree with everything you.
Say it seems like every year wants to. Playoff after
a couple of, rounds he's hobbling it something ever to
get up off the. Court everything just is like he
needs to be able to have his body to be
(27:05):
able to go through the rigors of an entire, season
not just the regular. Season, yeah, look in the regular,
season he's gonna put up twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Eight, nay he put that, up go in and.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Sleep but it's the postseason where he starts the ball
down where the injury, starts you, know because you know.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's a more physical, game and that's why.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
You gotta get The. Wolves you gotta get A wolves credit.
Too this is what they, Were this is what they
plan to. Do they plan to come out making a
physical series every game, physical pick your full, court, bump,
grind and then time we get the game five, six
we'll see who starts your down a little. Bit i've
see a lot Of i'm seeing a lot of short shots, tonight.
(27:46):
Airballs that's, fatigue, man that's fatigue sitting in them guys
playing a lot of minutes night in and night, out
and just to have a day of rest and then
jump right back out there playing at that high.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Intensity they just gonnat keep. Up, yeah Considered.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Lebron he could play forty six, minutes and he turned
around and they had to play another forty. Minutes lebron's.
Forty LIKE i, said you can talk about all you
want to is a mind.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Thing, no it's. Not the mind might be. Willing the
body just ain't able.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Anymore there's a reason why as we start the, age
we can't do what we was. Did don't think are
you Saying vote didn't? Trained but as the aged he
couldn't run nine five, Eight he couldn't run nine sixty.
Three he was still. Fast he still could run nine
eight and that was that would win him the gold.
Medal but as he started to, age he couldn't turn
those times that he once could nobody can so this
(28:32):
notion will a he spent all that. Money it doesn't
matter how much money you, spend father. Sign sometimes he'll
tap you on the. Shoulder sometimes he just pulled you ass.
Down get tap, It bron on the. Shoulder he gotta damn. Me,
YEAH i THINK i think. HE i think HE i
think he tapping on. Him but at the same, time
you gotta give, him a, man some. Help you gotta
(28:54):
Get braun some.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Help you.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Can't you can't put all that on this on him
to come out and try to your defense and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Offensive, no he, Is, no it's just two taxing on the. Body.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Man it's way too tax on the. Body and it
kind of shows through out this Serious once upon a,
time like you, said like when he was in his
late twenties and even to his mid, thirty like thirty.
Five but, man you start talking about you think about.
It lebron still plays seventy games this. Season he's playing seventy,
games and you're asking. Him he's still give you twenty.
(29:27):
Four he still give you eight, rebounds he still give
you eight. Assists he's still give you a blocker to a.
Game he still give you a. Stealer to a. Game
you're asking him to constantly, think, hey make the right
play all the, time and he's ed read of your defense.
Man you're asking a forty year old to do a. Lot,
yeah really a. Lot AND i understand you asked. That excuse.
(29:50):
Me you ask those things from your great, Players. Joe
you know that the greater you, are the more they
ask of. You but here's the Thing i've always told
people THAT i THINK i don't think people understand. This
as you start to, aid they don't compare you to anyone.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Else they compare you to your younger.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Self they Compare lebron to a twenty, five a, thirty
a thirty three year Old. Lebron they're not comparing him
To Jason. Tatum they're not comparing him to Add. Man
that comparing because they remember what they saw when he
was their, age not factoring in he's forty. Now, yeah
he can't elevate like he once. Could he can summon it.
(30:29):
Up he could give you a game or two here or,
there but they have to be spread. Out he could
give you a corner where he goes, off but if
you give you a corner where he gives you somewhere
between sixteen and. Twenty you best believe that next quarter
is gonna probably be somewhere between zero and. FOUR i
mean it just it is what it. IS i got
to be, honest. Joke, yeah, yeah you, know you know
how like when we're, young we pull a test stockstrom so, yeah,
(30:52):
yeah we got plenty of energy and we can go all,
day you know WHAT i. Mean and as you, yeah

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Old and IF i, CAN i know where you, are
and IF i can hang with the young, Bulls.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Oh, joe don't go up there and up your ki,
les mess up a hamstring or.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
SOMETHING i ain't got hurt all my. Life then that's
the fake. Do you don't want to get hurt, now
and you.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Don't want to get hurt as you as you get,
old because it sucks rehabit as the old. Person trust.
Me Fourth, Joe Oh. Joe fourth quarter points this seed,
series Nas reed had Nas reed had twenty seven points
in the fourth, Quarter lebron had twenty, Six luca had twenty.
(35:29):
Three so your first got off the bench for the T.
Wolves i'll scored your two stars in the fourth. Quarter you're. Lost,
Hey naves is, special, man it was special throughout this.
SERIES u they had No they had no matchup for.
Him they actually had no matchup for none of they
dig but the no Nas red And Julius, rando they
(35:51):
had no matchup for.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Them, dudes who can put it. There we'll be.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Honest they didn't have a match up for nobody. Did
they don't match your with a. Man they don't match
you With Rudy, gobert they don't match you up with Nav.
Read they don't matter if you really think about. It
the guys that they match up with is that you're
not really counting on those. Guys but those guys played
above what they normally. Play jaye And daniels played above
what he normally plays. At so you got Ant man
(36:15):
doing what Ant man. Does you Got Ju ramble doing
what J ramble normally. Does but now you get guys
that you're not really counting on to give you, that
and you Get jade McDaniel's given you extra or you
get you get a Nos reed coming off the, bench
and in clutch, times he's only missed one shot at clutch,
time so he's damn near perfect from and in the
(36:37):
five minutes clutch, time last five minutes of a, game
the game within five. Points so when you get one
team and their guys are doing exactly what you hope
they would, be it's kind of like when you go
into a game.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Like, okay O O.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Chow in this game right, Here ocho should probably give
us about probably six to eight for ninety to one
hundred and, five two, touchdown one, touchdown let it get
one to the, dollar so he'll get us inside the. Five,
okay who's gonna do what he? Does blah blah. Blah
it's just like that in the basketball. Game, Okay i'm
Expecting i'm expecting Ad man to do what that man.
(37:13):
Does give us his twenty. Seven that's what he. Averaged Jude,
raynald give us what he. Does he's fully. Healthy anything
THAT i get from ANYTHING i get From goubert Because
golbert normally he can't play extending, minute because he does
a match, up they put him in the pick and,
roll they get him away from the. Basket now it's
a bonus whatever you get from. Him, yeah now there you.
(37:35):
Go more than the bonus, here speaking of hard headed
before the, GAME Jj, reddick give me after the game, Before,
okay before the, GAME Jj reddick stormed out of the
pressor after a question about. Substitution he took offense to
(37:56):
a question that basically asked if he was lean on
his assistance if his assistant coaches when it comes to
help it with substitutions a.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Substitution excuse?
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Me are you saying that Because i'm inexperience and that
it was inexperienced decision THAT i. Made you don't THINK
i talked to my sisters about substitutions every single time.
Out that's a weird. Assumption he stormed. OUT i would
have stormed out.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Too, YES i have no. Choice, YES i talked to my.
Assistants hell my sistans know.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Too we don't have a.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Choice how many times let me ask your, QUESTION O,
joe how many times HAVE Jj reddick better coach in THE?
NBA i think that's a very valid question because he
is in experience as a, coach you, know and it's
a bad all he had to do because if he
leaned on his. Coaches, YES i lean on my. Coaches
that's a part of like when we have a time,
(38:48):
bout we together, said what do you think does how
DOES rui? Look how does don't? Look how Does lebron?
Look how Does first of, all That's lebron And luca's on.
It they already, Said lebron at the six minute, mark
you're coming out to get a blow for two to three, minutes,
right we'll put you back, In. Luca if it's really
good and we're up ten, twelve you might come out
(39:10):
the last minute of the first. Quarter so that way
we can steal an extra minute or, so cause we
get to tie THE tv time. Out, yes so you
get one minute, there you get an other minute or two,
there and then we're gonna let you see it for four.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Minutes so we're gonna steal some.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Time everybody else is on the rotation, Like, okay hey,
pulling get in. There, yeah BUT i don't. Think but
you can't get mad when people ask you. Questions Oh,
joe that's the part about being a.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
COLD i understand, it even though being a, coach but
also being a. Reporter it's about watching the. Game also
being a, reporter it's about, understanding, well, hell we are
in a. Position If i'm A laker, reporter, damn we
do got to Keep luca them in. There we do
got to have him played all four quarters because we're
not getting.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
There, no they don't look at the game like that
till my job is. That my job is to ask
you a. Questions what's going?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
ON i, Understand i'm Just i'm just seeing it from
the lens on both.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Sides, no you see it from the lens of the,
player and you get up said that somebody questioned.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
It, YEAH i mean you're, right BUT i mean just
you gotta.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Realize most of these, Reporters ojo have never, Played they've
never been in the, huddle they've never had the sub you,
talking and so we look at we athletes look at
the game totally different than the lay person or the casual,
fan especially if we're, professionals we, understand, well why you
call that dumb? Plate you THINK i called it BECAUSE
(40:25):
i didn't want to get no? Yards, hey what's the
player we got that gonna lose a four?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yard? Yep call that? One hey what, hey what's that
play that we?
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Got that pig that's gonna call jodah airball that shout
out to dribble the ball out of. Bound, yeah that's
the PLAYER i want to run out of this time
bout of, course not. No, normally normally your assistant coaches
and now it's a.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Lot of them, nowadays but normally your assistant coaches stay
in the head.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Coaches, here you have a head assistant and he keeps
coaching tack as far as, okay, look old children have
been out there twelve straight.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Minutes we might need to give him a, blow you
know WHAT i.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Mean normally your assistant is always an extension of the,
head and he normally Probably Scotti.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Brooks i'm Thinking Scotty brooks is this, lead and Then
nat is number.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Two, yeah so they may tell you, like, WELL i
got four, files you know WHAT i, mean and we.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Can't we might want to take him out and give
him a.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Break so for him to go with them guys for
that extended period of, time he probably just, like forget.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
It, YEAH i don't think.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
He had no trust in any of those. Guys coming
off the. Bench he felt he was gonna go with
his big guns and he. Struggled yeah dang. Well but
as a as a Oh, joe but as a, coach
you know. This when it goes, well you're. Geniuses when
it doesn't go, well you're gonna get second. Guess that's
(41:45):
how it. Is that's a that's a part of. It you,
know with somebody if somebody asked you you you play a.
Quarterback if somebody ask you what you, saw you can't
SAY i saw what you. SAW i hope you didn't
see WHAT i see BECAUSE i look in this in
this down and, distance in this area of the, field
(42:05):
this is what they normally. PLAY i THOUGHT i had.
This god made a great. Play you know they study film.
Too they get. Paid yeah you do. It you don't
you don't play other and they play other. PLAYOFFS i
was quick to tell my coaches. THAT i Tell mike

guy get paid. Too that, right he picked up his
check on money just LIKE i. Did so don't, Think,
(42:25):
Hey i'm the only one getting paid and they just
find this guy he jumped on the back of a truck.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Somewhere, nah, bro he in THE nfl.

make anybody else in a professional league look.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Bad.
Speaker 3 (42:46):

start to, finish, uncha they controlled it from start to.
Finish you could tell they were the more desperate, team
and they came out. Hungry they didn't want the season the,
end you can. Tell so, YES i think they're very
capable of going To Golden, state winning the game and
then bringing it back home For game. Seven this is
this has been a, fun you, know grueling, series, Man
(46:40):
and it's like all these series in The, west even
in The. East these first rounds are so tough and
gonna beat you up so bad that when the second round, comes,
damn you gotta hold you gotta hope some of these
guys stay. Healthy, Man, right we still got a lot
a lot of basketball left to. Play that's why you
try to finish as quick as you. Can if you
can end the team in, four end them and. Four
(47:02):
if you can end him in, five end them in
five because you need the. Rest don't let this thing go.
Six don't let this thing go seven when you could
have ended it in.

Talent they are to like switch army knives to your
team can explode for you, know thirty points a, night
but gonna do the intangibles as far as, steals play, making,
defend pick, up full, court harass, you and MAN i
thought he plays a special defense On steph TONIGHT i
think He's.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
JOE i think he's learning, too you, know throughout this
series how.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
To Guard, steph knowing when to give him, space knowing
when to you, know crowd and make it tough for.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Him they've been kind of mixing it up a little.
Bit and he and the angular he, YEAH i mean
how told is?
Speaker 3 (48:18):
He?
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Like? What six six six six seven six? Eight so
even If steph get by, him it's still, challenging you,
know because you know he gonna see an all tr.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Shot and and, ULTIMATELY i think if you're The, rockers
the main thing you want to do is Make steph.
Work we know he, Likes, YES i believe you got
to keep him, moving making. Work don't let him have
no easy.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Catches and you can tell they they in the passing.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
Lane, man they out there playing four and four basketball
because a lot of times they just in. Denial they
ain't even looking at the. Ball longest step don't don't
get it?
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Right? What? What? What what do you? THINK O?
Speaker 1 (48:52):
JOE i was just going to tell you what Them
rockers came out. Like they seemed like they wanted it
more on both. Sides of on both, sides they was
aggressive one off fence they were stifing on.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
Defense they had.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
The Warriors kramer early Here Helsa houston came out firing.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Hit it was.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Forty it was forty to twenty four for the twenty
four lead they built in the first. Quarter by the
time it got the, halftime it was. Seven it was
seventy six forty. Nine so really from that point, on
all it is about controlling everything you.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Do at that, point control of.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
Everything, well considering that this shot thirty eight three, throws
let me know they were extremely.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Aggressive. Arriy.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
YEAH i don't know If i've ever seen a stat like,
this But Golden state had twenty five offensive. Rebounds you
don't see the team get twenty five offensive, Rebounds joe
and lose by.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
Fifteen, NO i ain't seen. That Golden. State, yeah they
had twenty five offensive. Rebounds they just couldn't man.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Offensively you, know they seemed out a sword from the, Jump,
yeah and they seem a step of twoth slaughter in the.
Rockets the rockets seemed, like you, know they had a
boost and though you, know LIKE i, said they just
played with that sense of fire urgency that you know
that they weren't ready for the. Season they, end and it's,
LIKE i don't, know, Man it's like these you, know
(49:58):
The warriors came out a little lethargic and it costs, them,
man because The rockets controlled from the. Tip they controlled
from the start to.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Finish they. Did and that game took a lot out
of The. Warriors. Yeah the other night they took a
lot Of it took a lot out of. Them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:15):
Uh and you look At thompson, Young dylan Brook Dylan
brooks played. That Dylan brooks has played really well in this.
Series he, shot he shot the. Ball, well you, know
he's gonna play. Defense he's gonna fight you tooth and.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Nail. Uh Bad. Fleet the last two, games Bad fleet
has been on. One, yeah he.
Speaker 3 (50:33):
Understands he understands a. Moment Oh, Joe he's been. There he's.
One he's a, champion he's. One he knows what it
is like to play this level of basketball and, compete you,
know at the highest. Form so, UH i think he
gives Them he definitely gave him life. Tonight but you,
know he gives them a sense of. Confidence i'm probably
probably going into every. Game, yeah, yeah especially he he really.
(50:58):
Is but they got a young. Team BUT i think
the thing is they're gonna be they might look to give.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Up you know, what.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
Other Than shingoon And, Thompson i'll be willing to part
with anybody else to Get Kevin.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Durant what you think about, That, Joe, yeah they GET.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Kt, yeah if you had to get because you're gonna
have to give up at least one or two of,
them young. Boy but, look if you Want Jalen, green
if you Want Dylan, brooks if you Want Jabari, Smith
i'll be. Willing the only two people that are untouchable
for me Is thompson And. Shingoon.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
YEAH i.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
THINK i Think, Green green And smith they got enough
talent to where wherever they go they can change. It
they can change your team or franchise a. PROGRAM i
like both of. Them but, Yeah i'll definitely make that.
Trade IF i was A houston to GET kt, man
please go In Goon Thompson Van.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
Fleet, yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Because Shan goon go get. YOU i mean he he
you know he's a lost. Star, yeah He's. Tompson Defend
thompson and. Defend he's very, aggrective, aggressive he's. Active uh
are you BRINGING kd who can score? You Let Van
fleet run your offense. Me, LOOK i MEAN i, Would i'm.
NOT i don't know if it's gonna. Happen but other
(52:18):
other than other Than thompson And Shing, gooon everybody else
is everybody else is in play If i'm The, Rockets,
yeah because there's not many bigs in THE nba Like
sengoon who can, score pass and. Rebound he gonna make
guys around him. Better he ain't gonna be out here
just posting, Up no twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
Shots you. Know he gonna always be high and assists
because he gonna make the right.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
Play and he's very, crafty especially in posting up and
hitting guys on cuts and wide open.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Shots So Sing, GOOON i love. Man you can play
through him for. Sure.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Yeah and the thing, is like Them european, players Those european,
bigs they played this. Way look At. Jokic, yeah they
grew up like. This they were talking at. Age you
know what you know while they play like, This joe And,
OCHO i BELIEVE i, do is because they don't have the.
Athleticism they can't elevate over, nobody so they're not relying
On god giving. Ability they gonna make the right. Past
(53:11):
they gonna. Backcut they're gonna scream if you. Look they
got all the most of the big the ure being.
Bigs they got tremendous. Footwork, yeah they got tremendous. Footwork
look At, shinooon look At, Jokic look at the bigs
that we that we fake.
Speaker 2 (53:25):
Up look at the.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
Footwork hey they because overseas they practiced way more than
they play over.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
Here we'll put together a tournament quick and go. Play, hey,
yeah we're gonna here you, hey, hey who You? Hey
what you? Do what you do with? Toama? MAN i do? It,
hey come, on we'll put together a team.
Speaker 3 (53:45):
Quick they go play in a tournament with no, chistry,
continuity practice or. Not it just feel like we can
roll out this talent and. Win, right he's, overseas, man
them dudeses been, practicing playing. Together it's the eleven twelve
years old developing, chemistry, annuity, practicing.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Working on skill a skill set right?
Speaker 3 (54:04):
Right you know people think, jumping jumping over somebody's a skill,
set because but what happens when your? Athlete, see that's
WHY i think yok can play a long time because
he's not he's not relying on athletic. Ability and a
guy that doesn't rely on athletic ability to A Tom brady. Instinct, now,
now if you got athleticism through The yin yang and
(54:26):
it slowly, dissipate you have to reinvent. Yourself you see
What lebron did when he realized that he couldn't continuously
go to the basket and go to the?
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Basket what do he? Do developed that three point, shot.
Speaker 3 (54:37):
Developed that big range and three point shot until it's. Deadly,
yeah you have, to you have. To you have to
evolve with the, game especially when you play a long.
Time you play twenty twenty two, Years, bro the game
is gonna change a few. Times and he and he
been smack dab in the middle of, right he is
back dab in the middle of the. Game is involved
because think about, it the two, thousand the, twins the twenty.
(55:01):
Tens now he's in the twenty. Twenties they ain't very
many guys that can say they played three. Decades, Now
vin played four Becau vince started in the late, nineties
he went to two, thousand he went to the, tenths
and then he finished in the twenty.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
Twenties so they.
Speaker 3 (55:14):
Ain't very many guys that gets an opportunity to say
they played two to three or maybe even two. Decades
maybe two is deep doing. It but you start talking
about three four, decades that's saying. Something BUT i still
Think houston is missing a. CLOSER i think they need
a guy THAT i could give him the ball and
he can go get me a.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
Bucket you.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
See this is my, committee and there's nothing wrong with,
That but when you get into the, playoffs you wouldn't
want to have that one person THAT i can put
the ball and say he's gonna get me a, Bucket, Joe,
yeah a bucket of.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
Fire you need. It that's just the slows. Down this
ain't the regular season.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Preseason we ain't just help the skelter jacking up, threes
none of.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
That playoffs be valued in every.
Speaker 3 (55:55):
Possession we're gonna come, down milk the mismatch and try
to get a great shot every.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Time that's what it's.
Speaker 3 (56:02):
About, so, yeah you need guys who can get you
freak the line or get your a, bucket or gonna make.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
The right play and get us a great. Shot. Yeah
when we've been.
Speaker 3 (56:12):
Watching these playoffs this first, round, yeah man down the stretch,
man it's been a lot of careless. Turnovers, man a
lot of cardless. Turnovers that's cost teams.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
Games. Obviously SOMETIMES i.
Speaker 3 (56:24):
Think guys are trying to do more than what they,
should more than more than what your ability allows you to.
Do because SOMETIMES i see guys try to be they
try to be. Hero, yeah, bro that you not required
to be the. Hero they feel like they got to
step up and make a, play make a, shot you,
know and sometimes you just overdoing it when you just
just make the simple right play a lot of times
(56:44):
that'll get your great. Results and, see that's why people
don't really gravitate Towards yoke because it's not like he.
Dunking he not letting three go off bellies like he
ain't Shooting. No three in, tournament walking away Like Steph.
Curry he ain't posts riding people like Add. Man right
they got, here you, know he. Ain't he ain't LIKE.
Speaker 2 (57:05):

Impeccable and he averaged twenty, nine thirteen and, ten And
shoon averaged twenty, one eleven and.

Physical. Yeah, yeah and he understands the. Game he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (57:48):
Wreck and the thing is he's not gonna force. It

(02:28):
Go get your tickets now. The t Wolves knock out
the Lakers. God, I was pressed for time. What I
meant to say, Lakers going home in five, That's what
I meant. But y'all, you know, y'all, y'all, don't let
me finish my fons. Don't let me finish my sentences.
If somebody would have told me, Joe that ad Man
was gonna struggle shooting the ball tonight and they were
(02:51):
gonna win this game because Rudy Gobert was gonna be
one of the few guys in a playoff game to
have a twenty twenty game, I would do, say, Ole, Gay,
I like that. Rudy Gobert came into the game averaging
three points and six rebounds on the ninth and he
gave you twenty seven and twenty four. He gave you
nine offensive rebounds. They had eighteen offensive rebounds. They crushed
(03:12):
the Lakers on the glass fifty four to thirty seven,
eighteen to eight on the offensive end, thirty six to
twenty nine on the defensive end, or total of fifty
four for the Wolves, thirty seven for the Lakers, and
you get.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Ad Man shooting five of nineteen for fifteen points.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You got jayde Daniel that was in foul troub He
ended up filing out with only eight points. Mike Conley
did hit a big three down the stretch, but he
only had eight points. But again it was the undoing
of their bench. They got twenty two points from their bench,
the Lakers got four. I'm gonna say this and I'm
gonna turn over to you, Joe JJ Stubborn for him
not to play Jackson Hayes to play Maxi Kleeber who
(03:52):
hadn't played I don't know the last time he played,
and you play him and a lot of these guys
like and like I'm saying, I'm not saying it with
the different but it's like, you're not don't play the
guy at all.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
After Rudy because you put Lebron into four.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You're so small, Yeah, you're really really small because Lebron
is six, not so Lebron is the tallest guy you got.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And Rudy just we was playing tap tap tap tap tap.
What did you like?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
How do how were the Wolves able to win this game?
And on the road in a hostile environment. I think
the t Wolves really knew it was at stake tonight,
you know, knowing that they wanted to try to go
and get this old with you know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The Lakers looked so lethargic on to start the game.
It's like they did the t Wolves no sense of urgency.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The t Wolves had all the energy, They had the
sense of urgency as if they was on the brink,
you know what I mean. And uh, they kind of
controlled the whole entire game.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It wasn't one time in the game where I thought
the Lakers, you know, even though they made their little
surgeon at the end. Yeah, I got a one point lead, yep,
But I never felt threatened that they was gonna win
the game.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They just had no fluidity offensively, no no chemistry. It
was just pick and roll, trying to exploit Brun and
the posts and Man. Even though Man then he didn't
shoot well, I thought he put a lot of pressure
on those guys, and Rudy won the game for you.
This is why you probably put Dorian Finnish Smith at
the five, because you really want to eliminate Rudy you
(05:15):
want to get him to where he can't play, because
he's bound to have a game like this, to where
he can win you a game.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And tonight, I mean, man, everything was falling this way from.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The lobs, the putbacks just being aggressive. Randall, probably I'll
give him the game, but I know Rudy was special. Tonight, Baranda,
they have no answer for him when they run the
pick and roll and get a mismatch.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Even if they played great defense.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
He's still banging on one time getting to a great shot,
you know what I mean. So their interior just has
no presence. And we knew this coming into the playoffs.
We knew they had no interior prisons. And tonight's show Man,
they got war down in this series and the young
t Wolves took advantage man of a wounded animal.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Because they o jo you and not talked about this.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
O Jo, I said, o Cho, they don't have a big,
I said, if they run into somebody with a big
that can punish them. We were looking at I was
looking at it from a standpoint well, okay, okay, if
they run into Yokic, yes, or if they run it
and I'm trying to think of the bigs that was
in there, maybe if they run into Sint Shingoon. But
I wasn't thinking about Rudy Gobert because I don't think
of Rudy Gobert as an offensive weapon. This was Rudy
(06:23):
Gobar's twenty seven points playoff career high, twenty four rebounds
playoff career high.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
O Jo, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm gonna let you have it out for this players
with at least twenty five points and and twenty rebounds
on seventy five percent field goal shooting. How do you
like these names? Shaquille O'Neill, Will, Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Hoo Grad,
West Thumbso, Rudy Gobert, Shaq MVP, Will four times MVP, Moses,
(06:53):
three time MVP. Hole Grad was a very important cob
to a championship in Chicago and in at the Lakers
West sum Saild. He just happened to have been Rookie
of the Year and MVP in the same season, but
also in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah, I thought
it was great. I thought it was great. Then I
thought Rudy was great. Uh, he's in there with some
(07:14):
of the greats now you know, and he gave the Lakers.
He gave him problems tonight, k Joe. You know they Yeah,
they had no But I thought he played great off
of random in Edwards. You know what I mean, meaning
by their aggression getting to the basket, whether it's him
getting put the help come.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They kind of got him going because he scored.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It opened him up because now you come to help,
you come, y'all gets beat, you go to help. You
see him lobbing. Because here's the thing, they didn't run
down one play for Rudy. Now, all he did was
getting he called lobs and he got it off the
rim and dunk at home.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, and he got up early.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He got he got a couple of easy layups and
dunk's early, which kind of got him going.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And he kind of carried that throughout the whole night.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And defensively he was a master blocking shots all twin shots.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And offensively he was just a clean up man. Yeah,
what's your thing, go Joe?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Hey, listen, not only was it a clean up man
to peedback on what Joe talked about, Listen, when you
get cut and they tell you not to get a notion,
they tell you not to get a notion for a reason.
Does one sharks smell of blood in the water, were
they coming to get you? In the timber will spell?
They smell blood to night. A game like this three
to one, you know, you got to put some type
of effort, some type of intensity going forward.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
The Lakers came out, they came out flat. They came
out flat.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The Wolves had already beat them, beat him at home before,
so coming into again, coming into.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
The hostile environment, they already got confidence because.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We listen, we've already done it before. So what's the
chance that we can do it again? The likelihood is
probably good even with Anthony Air, but not having a
type of game you have to have. You have the
unlikely person that comes out and wins a game for you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Wi go Bell.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
He dominated both both ends of the court, neutralized it
la la and drives having he feasted on second chance points.
Fucking looking bad. It's looking bad.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was bad bad. Listen, And no, I don't I
don't know how you feel. I feel for you.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Even with Akan really struggling from the field, Uh, Julius Randall,
they had no answer for him.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Thank no, that's the fun, you know. And he's a
he's a big body that loves the Bang. It takes
it out of you. If, like I said, if you
told me that the ad Man gonna play forty three minutes, Joe,
he gonna go five or nineteen from the floor, He'll
be zero of eleven from three.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I said, Oh, Joe, we got it with in the Bang.
We got I know. Look, Julius Randall is gonna give
you Julius Randell.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, but ju he's gonna be somewhere between eighteen and
twenty five. Okay, I'm not worth so so, but you're
telling me ad Man is gonna struggle cuse so I'm
looking okay, so, so who else can win the game?
I saw Jade and Daniels play really well. Uh, nobs
readers had a game. Nod Reid played twenty one minutes.
He gave you three points. Yeah, I mean, uh, Devincenzo
(09:52):
he was three or thirteen, two or twelve. He gave
you a nine point nakill. Alexander Walker he gave you
ten points. Ain't know that was the in production. But
if you tell me they're gonna fight, y'all go. The
Lakers are gonna hold the tea wools forty percent from
the floor.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Fifteen percent from the three point line.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh, Joe, we hey, Joe, we go, Hey Joe, We're
going back to Minnesota, and I ain't talking about to
them all of America.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
We going back to the kick butt. Hey, it don't
seem it seemed.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Like the Lakers had exhaust almost every option just to
get a bucket. It seems so hard for them to
come across points. I'm like, man, why why does it
seem like it's so hard for them to score? And
in meanwhile, Minnesota is just putting their head down getting
to the basket. Files layups and well shot thirty shot
thirty three free throws gave vinc to the last two games.
(10:39):
Adin't give him no points. He played twenty six minutes. Uh,
he did get a couple of rebounds, a couple of cents.
But you can't win like that. Jeff Vanderbilt, he's a
lot like Ben Simmons. He's not really looking to score
unless he got an uncontested lay up or dunk.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
So now that hurts you on the offensive end because
they know that. So now his guy's gonna always look
to help. Uh, you know, give give the Wolves. Give
the Wolves credit they deserved. They earned this one man
Laker sixteen points in the fourth quarter. You're right there,
you down ten, you claw back, you're out scoring thirty
one to twenty two.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So you down one and miss free throws out oft.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Think look like I said, Luca hurt that back, and
I was surprised that he was able to come back
in and give you what he had. He did give
you sixteen points in the second half. Lebron didn't play
well tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Ruy. I thought Rud played really well tonight and gave
him a grand Bull was at.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Rue was at there, hot but hitting threes.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Austar Reed struggled to get I mean ostar Reed struggled
again shooting the ball. A look, you got you got
three guys. The Lakers are gonna have to get some depth, though, Joe.
They're gonna have to get somebody to come off the bench.
They need a big, bad and I understand there's no
bigs out there.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Old show you and I was talking about this. They
got Alex Lynn.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All they got is the same foot coach he probably
to go coach high school, build assistant in college. He
gave them nothing and then he became unplayable. Jackson Hayes,
I just don't.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Look.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I don't think they were counting on him to give
them much, but he really didn't give them anything. He became,
he became what I expected Rudy go Better become, which
was unplayable. But here's the thing, though, you see, the
regular season is so much different than the playoffs. Okay,
you've seen how right when they got Luca they had
their search or where they was playing, Well, everybody was talking, yes,
(12:27):
he was gonna come out the West, and they were.
They were number one in defense. I don't know how,
but they were number one in defense, and they was
playing some extreme basketball. But when you get to the playoffs,
the playoffs, you want to exposed teams weaknesses, right, yes,
you want to try to eliminate their strengths and expose
their weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Their weaknesses was the interior presence.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
On offense and defense they had, Yes, they didn't have
no answer for that. They exploiteded the Timberwolves explored the
Lakers all all series.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Since from Game one, I was like, man, the Timberwolves.
They scared me. They came in, they want to do
to the game one at home court throughout and they
gentleman's sweet, you know, closing the deal on the road.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I got a question for y'all. Now listen, you said,
you said J. J.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Bredick was stubborn, you know, based on the station, on
what he was able to, what he did with the bench.
When you think about the rotation, you think about the
bench for the lack of production that they already have,
where the rotation even matter.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
All you have is Luca.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And Lebron al didn't show up when we showed up tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But they're so they're so inconsistent in game the game. Hell,
it's confusing JJ on what he needs to be able
to do to even give them a chance to win
when everybody's playing so inconsistent, sometimes not Lebron had nights off,
sometimes Luca had nights off, So he can't even find
himself in the rhythm to get the right rotation the game,
(14:00):
even giving the Laggas a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I say, he's stubborn. What did he do? What did
he doing? What did he do?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
In game four? He played us and he played there
starting five the entire second half. You see, that's stubborn.
You see, Okay, Jackson Hayes, You're not gonna Jackson Hayes
doesn't even take it, doesn't take his warm up off.
That's stubborn, because well, Jackson, you're not giving us anything anyway.
But at that at some point in time, you're like, well, hey,
we got to have somebody to try to keep a
(14:25):
You got one job, Jackson, keep Rudy off the glass.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, I don't know. That's the only that's your only job.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
And but how do you gonna keep when you're Rudy's
seventy two and your tallest guy six'. NINE i, mean
he JUST i mean he's just reaching, up getting the
ball and dunking it back. In they're doing dump off,
because LIKE i, said you got forty years, Old, lebron
And lebron is not sitting in the chair. Anymore out
why He'll, hey he, can he'll make a great chase.
Down he weak sided and occasionally he can make a,
(14:52):
play but that's not his that's not where he's great.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
At.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Currently luca can't play. Defense ar can't play. Defense so
you get guys getting beat up one to two. Dribbles
so now your interior has to. Come so even even
though they're not real, protectors they. Come they drop Off Rudy.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Pool, Yeah. Rudy look with the LOB jj went to their.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Zone broun, say cong we got to, go, man, fine
we got to get out the. Zone they picking us.
Apart they any wrinkle in there to try to switch it.
Up but anything that The lakers, did it was wrong,
Tonight Uncle ojo The Tea. Wolves when they went to their,
zone what they Do they hit the middle of the.
Zone now we got to dump down To ruty or
that's it praying for. Three you're giving us too many.
(15:34):
Options this is is too. Easy, yeah when you got,
guys first of, all you got a presence Inside, yeah
seven two seven Three Rudy, gobert and you got, guys
and you're so afraid that they're gonna make the. Three
so now you're scrambling to try to get out to the.
(15:55):
Three so if you, miss because you got guys, scrambling
that means. Somebody that means A Gabe, vincent that means A.
Dobe it's trying to Hold Rudy Rudy gobert from getting
an offensive. Rebound that's not gonna. WORK i have, it
that's not gonna. Work but you know, What, look we
can talk about. This this says more about The. Wolves
(16:15):
we know The lakers have some. Deficiencies it's gonna be
interesting to see how they how they repair those because
they got. Problems this ain't, No this ain't no situation
where we can troublesh. You you know What i'm. Saying
we going for. Today we got, Problems, joe we got.
Problems this ain't no trouble, shoot this ain't no. Issue
(16:36):
if this is a, problem, see we can troublesh. You
we can troublesh you issues like, OKAY i think you're like, okay,
okay we'll try this try, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No this is a major problem that we got right.
Here hold, on hold, on hold all on.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Them let's let's let's talk about one thing about. Problems
there has to be a. Solution when you say this
there's a, problem there has.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
To be a.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Solution you say there's no tumble, shooting and you say
they needed a Big what would you like to see
The lakers do going forward going into next season that
will give them a chance because having it big is
a good thing down the stretch in the. Playoffs so
when you come to when you're playing games like, this
you can go big where you're not playing as small
where you at a, disadvantage or do you go and
get another, superstar make it a big not only another.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
SUPERSTAR i don't know if you have the pieces to
go get another, superstar because now that's gonna even that's
gonna even weaken more of your depth because you don't
have depth to begin.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
With remember that's what Kill. Phoenix they got no.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Depth so, yeah you got three big, guys but when
you when one of those guys go out or two
of those guys go, out now what do you? Have
so If luca is Basically luca And lebron can never
leave the court. Together if you know, that what they
always got to be. Staggered so Normally luca plays the
entire first, Quarter lebron plays about nine to ten, Minutes
luca starts the game on the, Bench lebron comes, back
(17:52):
and So lebron normally goes out with about six minutes
six or seven minutes and the second. Quarter so he
knowed they tried to Play lebron somewhere between sixteen to
eighteen minutes in the first. Half luca's gonna play somewhere
between eighteen and twenty minutes in the first. Half they
they they got. To, LOOK i would have liked to
see them Get valentounas he's a guy that can. Rebound
(18:14):
he can give. You he's a more of an offensive
weapon than Than Jackson. Hayes he's more of a defensive.
President he can bang a little bit. Better but that's
what they need. Now they're not gonna get somebody that's
an all star big that ain't, happening no. Soul you
would have to piece it together and make.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do but they got they no piecing. Together that's what
they've been. Doing they had duct tape tied to the
goddamn season.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Already, well you're gonna have to piece. This you gonna
still have a piece, TOGETHER O, joe because you Got.
Luca you're gonna have to Make muka Offer. Lebron it
all Depends lebron can opt. Out does he opt? Out
take less money so they can go get somebody that's
better than a mid. Level maybe you have to get
somebody Or, joe that's that's gonna that's.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That'll play for around fifteen.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Million because you try to go get somebody on a mid,
level or you try to get somebody on a on
a men.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
DEAL i don't know if. THAT i don't know if.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
That's enough Because kyrie and a d They, hey The
wolve's gonna, okay, see he's not going, anywhere. Right The
timberwolves aren't going. Anywhere you See, Houston they're gonna try
to get a. Superstar houston's gonna try to Land Kevin
durant and they might be willing to give up one
or two of those young pieces in order to do
(19:26):
it in some of those draft picks in order to do.
It So steph And Jimmy, Butler, draymond they're not going.
Anywhere so The, Lakers, yeah they got two, superstars but
that's not enough. Anymore you need auxiliary, pieces and those
auxiliary pieces aren't good enough currently for what The lakers.
Have now they're gonna they're gonna try to spend. It,
(19:48):
well we didn't have time to play. Together you had
more than enough. Time you're not good. Enough, YEAH i
mean they're not good enough right, Now. Joe they not
not not to win the. Championship not that can be for.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
One. Uh they definitely got to improve the depth the.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Bench they gotta have some some guaranteed coming off the. Bench, okay, Oh,
jo somebody who can coming to the, game change the,
game change the dynamic of the, game maybe give you
a spurt here and. There but having to put all this,
on this on On luca And broun is just too
much to, care especially out in The West.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Man they just too, out you know WHAT i, mean
Especially lebroad at his.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Age so basically What i'm hearing from y'all IS i
heard the report in, pregame ASK jj a question about.
Rotation Then i'm, thinking now we both both of you
have shared your your your your expertise on the bench
not being. Good so basically JJ's hands are. Tied so
(20:45):
what are you doing with the? Rotation what are you
doing with the bench in? Game and damn they're justified
based on what we're all. Saying, oh, y'all so he
had no choice.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
At some point in. Time the job of a coach
is to try something.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Different just because it didn't work last game doesn't mean
it won't work this. Game you got to, try so
you just so you see a team gashing, you you're, like,
well oh well, babe we just go stay in this,
coverage so we'll stay in the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Front, listen you said about try something. Different they didn't
play the whole, season we're in the. Playoffs, well if
it really gave us nothing during the, season navigate to the.
Playoffs what's the chance of. IT i don't want the
game to get away from. US i don't want the
game to sip. Away so what AM i gonna? Do
i'm gonna keep the people in that give us our
best chance to.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Win but here's the. Thing you've never gotten out rebounded
in the previous. Games you didn't get out rebounded by. Seventeen,
yeah They, rudy go Bet. Rudy Rudy gobert averaged three
points and six. Rebounds now he's got fifteen to, nine
fifteen and twelve in the first.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Half what you want to try something?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Different so all of a, sudden the guy that was averaging,
three he had fifteen at the, half with twenty four
more minutes to. Go he normally gives you six rebounding he's,
three four or five rebounds clear of that. Already so
clearly WHAT i. Anticipated you know, what, GUYS i was
gonna go with this this small. ROTATION i got to expand.
That i'm, saying guy's got to be. Ready you, Know,
(22:08):
Joe sometimes you're, like, hey you don't anticipate the guy getting.
In he don't might not a tentipate playing and a
desperate time called for desperate, measures and so you bring
that to the. Table Anthony edwards his last three. Series this,
series he knocked Out luca And. Lebron last year he
knocked Out Joki, murray and he also knocked Out katie And.
Book he's twenty. Three he got some pilps on his. Wall,
(22:28):
hey guess what the man ain't. Done, no, no he ain't.
Done he just got out started twenty. Three, uh they
take on the. Winner he then he got a favorite
favorable bracket because they take on the winner Of Golden State.
Houston so you you, avoid you avoid potentially, okay, see
you avoid potentially The, nuggets you avoid potentially The clippers
(22:51):
until The Western conference. Finals If i'm, hey, look If
i'm The, wolves that's that's Exactly that's the exact ROUTE
i was looking.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
At tay it, Right oh, yeah for.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Sure, yeah because if they let's say they do pour
The warriors out and, uh you know they got to
play The warriors in the second. Round, UH i think
they can beat The. WARRIORS i think they do with
the size that they. Have you see what they did
to The lakers throughout this. SERIES i think they're well
and capable of doing this exact same thing to The,
warriors because The warriors are, small.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Too very.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Small because the question is how do they? Play because Dray,
bond you like to Play draymond at the? Five Dray
bard's got to deal with. You gotta deal With Radam, now,
okay you put him on You. Rabdom do that mean
you Play Kaban looney or you Take Jackson? Davis so
do You they don't like to play two. Bids they
like to. Play they like to Play draymond at the.
FIVE i tell, YOU i, Think, UH i don't. KNOW
(23:47):
i think that maybe maybe The warriors stick to the.
Guns BUT i think The wolves are definitely gonna stick
to what they've been doing because it's got them to
it's gonna get them to the next, round.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Honestly.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Uh AND i think with them just coming in with the,
aggression the confidence for winning this series against The, lakers,
man the swagers. High they're, clicking, playing playing the right
way at the right. Time everything is you, know, timing
you know WHAT i? Mean and right, now, yep, man
they look like a tough team to beat in the
seven game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
SERIES oho they Do.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Lebron In game five he was twenty two, points seven,
rebound six, assists nine of twenty one one to five for,
three three or six from the free throw. Line he
had seven, rebounds six, assists two, steals three. Turnovers he
DID i didn't think he played. WELL i, mean, look
you talk about a guy that's gonna probably be on
the first and second Team ALL nba at the age
(24:38):
of forty in year twenty. Two so twenty four to
eight and eight is the first season in twenty years
that he didn't have average at least twenty five.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Points he's An All.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Star most twenty point games by forty zerh thirty point,
games forty point, games most points rebounds three, points and
they most points rebounds. ASSISTANT i, mean as he goes,
on he always gonna be guess what in year twenty,
three he's gonna have the most, points most twenty, points
most thirty, points most forty. Points he will have the most,
points most, rebounds the most, assists most, steals the most.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Blocked and if he plays twenty four, seasons he's gonna
have The.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Once you get to a certain, LEVEL O, Joe So
it's Like Elon, Musk he's the words richest.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Man every dollar he gets he adds to.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That, yeah So lebron every year that he, plays he
just adds to what SOMEBODY'S i. Mean Vince carter year twenty,
Two uh HE i think he averaged what five points a?
Game lebron averaged twenty four points a game twenty four
eight to eight special Special luca donchets he uh twenty
(25:43):
eight eight naytan. Two he led The lakers and points
lead The lakers and assists lead The lakers and steals
three point Of maids? Playoff serious sin is the? Trade mavericks,
None lakers? None does this trade change now Consume luca
got bounced in the first? Round does it change your
view on the? Trade are we still upset At nico
(26:04):
for making this? Move Joe, NAH i still like the
trade for The. Lakers you, KNOW i just Want luca to,
really you, know getting get in the gym this this this, Summer, Okay,
joe really get his body right so he's able to
go through a, grueling TAXING nba season and come out
and be ready for the. Postseason because the postseason is
(26:27):
ultimately what we play for And it just seems to.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Me every he wears down every, year every, postseason.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Man he's bogged down with, injuries and it just seems
like every play it hurts. Him it hurts him, defense
but offensively he can get to that step back still some, way.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Somebody but, YEAH i.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Think he just really got to take on the, ship
bro and just get his body right and come back
ready to. COMPETE i, Agree, JOE i agree with everything you.
Say it seems like every year wants to. Playoff after
a couple of, rounds he's hobbling it something ever to
get up off the. Court everything just is like he
needs to be able to have his body to be
(27:05):
able to go through the rigors of an entire, season
not just the regular. Season, yeah, look in the regular,
season he's gonna put up twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Eight, nay he put that, up go in and.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Sleep but it's the postseason where he starts the ball
down where the injury, starts you, know because you know.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's a more physical, game and that's why.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
You gotta get The. Wolves you gotta get A wolves credit.
Too this is what they, Were this is what they
plan to. Do they plan to come out making a
physical series every game, physical pick your full, court, bump,
grind and then time we get the game five, six
we'll see who starts your down a little. Bit i've
see a lot Of i'm seeing a lot of short shots, tonight.
(27:46):
Airballs that's, fatigue, man that's fatigue sitting in them guys
playing a lot of minutes night in and night, out
and just to have a day of rest and then
jump right back out there playing at that high.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Intensity they just gonnat keep. Up, yeah Considered.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Lebron he could play forty six, minutes and he turned
around and they had to play another forty. Minutes lebron's.
Forty LIKE i, said you can talk about all you
want to is a mind.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Thing, no it's. Not the mind might be. Willing the
body just ain't able.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Anymore there's a reason why as we start the, age
we can't do what we was. Did don't think are
you Saying vote didn't? Trained but as the aged he
couldn't run nine five, Eight he couldn't run nine sixty.
Three he was still. Fast he still could run nine
eight and that was that would win him the gold.
Medal but as he started to, age he couldn't turn
those times that he once could nobody can so this
(28:32):
notion will a he spent all that. Money it doesn't
matter how much money you, spend father. Sign sometimes he'll
tap you on the. Shoulder sometimes he just pulled you ass.
Down get tap, It bron on the. Shoulder he gotta damn. Me,
YEAH i THINK i think. HE i think HE i
think he tapping on. Him but at the same, time
you gotta give, him a, man some. Help you gotta
(28:54):
Get braun some.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Help you.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Can't you can't put all that on this on him
to come out and try to your defense and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Offensive, no he, Is, no it's just two taxing on the. Body.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Man it's way too tax on the. Body and it
kind of shows through out this Serious once upon a,
time like you, said like when he was in his
late twenties and even to his mid, thirty like thirty.
Five but, man you start talking about you think about.
It lebron still plays seventy games this. Season he's playing seventy,
games and you're asking. Him he's still give you twenty.
(29:27):
Four he still give you eight, rebounds he still give
you eight. Assists he's still give you a blocker to a.
Game he still give you a. Stealer to a. Game
you're asking him to constantly, think, hey make the right
play all the, time and he's ed read of your defense.
Man you're asking a forty year old to do a. Lot,
yeah really a. Lot AND i understand you asked. That excuse.
(29:50):
Me you ask those things from your great, Players. Joe
you know that the greater you, are the more they
ask of. You but here's the Thing i've always told
people THAT i THINK i don't think people understand. This
as you start to, aid they don't compare you to anyone.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Else they compare you to your younger.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Self they Compare lebron to a twenty, five a, thirty
a thirty three year Old. Lebron they're not comparing him
To Jason. Tatum they're not comparing him to Add. Man
that comparing because they remember what they saw when he
was their, age not factoring in he's forty. Now, yeah
he can't elevate like he once. Could he can summon it.
(30:29):
Up he could give you a game or two here or,
there but they have to be spread. Out he could
give you a corner where he goes, off but if

Speaker 4 (34:54):

and IF i can hang with the young, Bulls.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Oh, joe don't go up there and up your ki,
les mess up a hamstring or.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
SOMETHING i ain't got hurt all my. Life then that's
the fake. Do you don't want to get hurt, now
and you.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Don't want to get hurt as you as you get,
old because it sucks rehabit as the old. Person trust.
Me Fourth, Joe Oh. Joe fourth quarter points this seed,
series Nas reed had Nas reed had twenty seven points
in the fourth, Quarter lebron had twenty, Six luca had twenty.
(35:29):
Three so your first got off the bench for the T.
Wolves i'll scored your two stars in the fourth. Quarter you're. Lost,
Hey naves is, special, man it was special throughout this.
SERIES u they had No they had no matchup for.
Him they actually had no matchup for none of they
dig but the no Nas red And Julius, rando they
(35:51):
had no matchup for.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Them, dudes who can put it. There we'll be.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Honest they didn't have a match up for nobody. Did
they don't match your with a. Man they don't match
you With Rudy, gobert they don't match you up with Nav.
Read they don't matter if you really think about. It
the guys that they match up with is that you're
not really counting on those. Guys but those guys played
above what they normally. Play jaye And daniels played above
what he normally plays. At so you got Ant man
(36:15):
doing what Ant man. Does you Got Ju ramble doing
what J ramble normally. Does but now you get guys
that you're not really counting on to give you, that
and you Get jade McDaniel's given you extra or you
get you get a Nos reed coming off the, bench
and in clutch, times he's only missed one shot at clutch,
time so he's damn near perfect from and in the
(36:37):
five minutes clutch, time last five minutes of a, game
the game within five. Points so when you get one
team and their guys are doing exactly what you hope
they would, be it's kind of like when you go
into a game.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Like, okay O O.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Chow in this game right, Here ocho should probably give
us about probably six to eight for ninety to one
hundred and, five two, touchdown one, touchdown let it get
one to the, dollar so he'll get us inside the. Five,
okay who's gonna do what he? Does blah blah. Blah
it's just like that in the basketball. Game, Okay i'm
Expecting i'm expecting Ad man to do what that man.
(37:13):
Does give us his twenty. Seven that's what he. Averaged Jude,
raynald give us what he. Does he's fully. Healthy anything
THAT i get from ANYTHING i get From goubert Because
golbert normally he can't play extending, minute because he does
a match, up they put him in the pick and,
roll they get him away from the. Basket now it's
a bonus whatever you get from. Him, yeah now there you.
(37:35):
Go more than the bonus, here speaking of hard headed
before the, GAME Jj, reddick give me after the game, Before,
okay before the, GAME Jj reddick stormed out of the
pressor after a question about. Substitution he took offense to
(37:56):
a question that basically asked if he was lean on
his assistance if his assistant coaches when it comes to
help it with substitutions a.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Substitution excuse?
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Me are you saying that Because i'm inexperience and that
it was inexperienced decision THAT i. Made you don't THINK
i talked to my sisters about substitutions every single time.
Out that's a weird. Assumption he stormed. OUT i would
have stormed out.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Too, YES i have no. Choice, YES i talked to my.
Assistants hell my sistans know.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Too we don't have a.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Choice how many times let me ask your, QUESTION O,
joe how many times HAVE Jj reddick better coach in THE?
NBA i think that's a very valid question because he
is in experience as a, coach you, know and it's
a bad all he had to do because if he
leaned on his. Coaches, YES i lean on my. Coaches
that's a part of like when we have a time,
(38:48):
bout we together, said what do you think does how
DOES rui? Look how does don't? Look how Does lebron?
Look how Does first of, all That's lebron And luca's on.
It they already, Said lebron at the six minute, mark
you're coming out to get a blow for two to three, minutes,
right we'll put you back, In. Luca if it's really
good and we're up ten, twelve you might come out
(39:10):
the last minute of the first. Quarter so that way
we can steal an extra minute or, so cause we
get to tie THE tv time. Out, yes so you
get one minute, there you get an other minute or two,
there and then we're gonna let you see it for four.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Minutes so we're gonna steal some.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Time everybody else is on the rotation, Like, okay hey,
pulling get in. There, yeah BUT i don't. Think but
you can't get mad when people ask you. Questions Oh,
joe that's the part about being a.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
COLD i understand, it even though being a, coach but
also being a. Reporter it's about watching the. Game also
being a, reporter it's about, understanding, well, hell we are
in a. Position If i'm A laker, reporter, damn we
do got to Keep luca them in. There we do
got to have him played all four quarters because we're
not getting.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
There, no they don't look at the game like that
till my job is. That my job is to ask
you a. Questions what's going?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
ON i, Understand i'm Just i'm just seeing it from
the lens on both.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Sides, no you see it from the lens of the,
player and you get up said that somebody questioned.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
It, YEAH i mean you're, right BUT i mean just
you gotta.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Realize most of these, Reporters ojo have never, Played they've
never been in the, huddle they've never had the sub you,
talking and so we look at we athletes look at
the game totally different than the lay person or the casual,
fan especially if we're, professionals we, understand, well why you
call that dumb? Plate you THINK i called it BECAUSE
(40:25):
i didn't want to get no? Yards, hey what's the
player we got that gonna lose a four?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yard? Yep call that? One hey what, hey what's that
play that we?
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Got that pig that's gonna call jodah airball that shout
out to dribble the ball out of. Bound, yeah that's
the PLAYER i want to run out of this time
bout of, course not. No, normally normally your assistant coaches
and now it's a.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Lot of them, nowadays but normally your assistant coaches stay
in the head.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Coaches, here you have a head assistant and he keeps
coaching tack as far as, okay, look old children have
been out there twelve straight.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Minutes we might need to give him a, blow you
know WHAT i.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Mean normally your assistant is always an extension of the,
head and he normally Probably Scotti.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Brooks i'm Thinking Scotty brooks is this, lead and Then
nat is number.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Two, yeah so they may tell you, like, WELL i
got four, files you know WHAT i, mean and we.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Can't we might want to take him out and give
him a.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Break so for him to go with them guys for
that extended period of, time he probably just, like forget.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
It, YEAH i don't think.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
He had no trust in any of those. Guys coming
off the. Bench he felt he was gonna go with
his big guns and he. Struggled yeah dang. Well but
as a as a Oh, joe but as a, coach
you know. This when it goes, well you're. Geniuses when
it doesn't go, well you're gonna get second. Guess that's
(41:45):
how it. Is that's a that's a part of. It you,
know with somebody if somebody asked you you you play a.
Quarterback if somebody ask you what you, saw you can't
SAY i saw what you. SAW i hope you didn't
see WHAT i see BECAUSE i look in this in
this down and, distance in this area of the, field
(42:05):
this is what they normally. PLAY i THOUGHT i had.
This god made a great. Play you know they study film.
Too they get. Paid yeah you do. It you don't
you don't play other and they play other. PLAYOFFS i
was quick to tell my coaches. THAT i Tell mike
that all the. TIME i, said, hey you know that
guy get paid. Too that, right he picked up his
check on money just LIKE i. Did so don't, Think,
(42:25):
Hey i'm the only one getting paid and they just
find this guy he jumped on the back of a truck.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Somewhere, nah, bro he in THE nfl.

Can they.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Are they would have aggressive the, night you, know from
start to, finish, uncha they controlled it from start to.
Finish you could tell they were the more desperate, team
and they came out. Hungry they didn't want the season the,
end you can. Tell so, YES i think they're very
capable of going To Golden, state winning the game and
then bringing it back home For game. Seven this is
this has been a, fun you, know grueling, series, Man
(46:40):
and it's like all these series in The, west even
in The. East these first rounds are so tough and
gonna beat you up so bad that when the second round, comes,
damn you gotta hold you gotta hope some of these
guys stay. Healthy, Man, right we still got a lot
a lot of basketball left to. Play that's why you
try to finish as quick as you. Can if you
can end the team in, four end them and. Four
(47:02):
if you can end him in, five end them in
five because you need the. Rest don't let this thing go.
Six don't let this thing go seven when you could
have ended it in.

Him he grasps, a hen, a here's a two way
player because he could do it. All he had his. Brother,
yeah here and his. Brother they, Special they special.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
Talent they are to like switch army knives to your
team can explode for you, know thirty points a, night
but gonna do the intangibles as far as, steals play, making,
defend pick, up full, court harass, you and MAN i
thought he plays a special defense On steph TONIGHT i
think He's.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
JOE i think he's learning, too you, know throughout this
series how.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
To Guard, steph knowing when to give him, space knowing
when to you, know crowd and make it tough for.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Him they've been kind of mixing it up a little.
Bit and he and the angular he, YEAH i mean
how told is?
Speaker 3 (48:18):
He?
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Like? What six six six six seven six? Eight so
even If steph get by, him it's still, challenging you,
know because you know he gonna see an all tr.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Shot and and, ULTIMATELY i think if you're The, rockers
the main thing you want to do is Make steph.
Work we know he, Likes, YES i believe you got
to keep him, moving making. Work don't let him have
no easy.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Catches and you can tell they they in the passing.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
Lane, man they out there playing four and four basketball
because a lot of times they just in. Denial they
ain't even looking at the. Ball longest step don't don't
get it?
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Right? What? What? What what do you? THINK O?
Speaker 1 (48:52):
JOE i was just going to tell you what Them
rockers came out. Like they seemed like they wanted it
more on both. Sides of on both, sides they was
aggressive one off fence they were stifing on.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
Defense they had.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
The Warriors kramer early Here Helsa houston came out firing.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Hit it was.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Forty it was forty to twenty four for the twenty
four lead they built in the first. Quarter by the
time it got the, halftime it was. Seven it was
seventy six forty. Nine so really from that point, on
all it is about controlling everything you.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Do at that, point control of.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
Everything, well considering that this shot thirty eight three, throws
let me know they were extremely.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Aggressive. Arriy.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
YEAH i don't know If i've ever seen a stat like,
this But Golden state had twenty five offensive. Rebounds you
don't see the team get twenty five offensive, Rebounds joe
and lose by.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
Fifteen, NO i ain't seen. That Golden. State, yeah they
had twenty five offensive. Rebounds they just couldn't man.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Offensively you, know they seemed out a sword from the, Jump,
yeah and they seem a step of twoth slaughter in the.
Rockets the rockets seemed, like you, know they had a
boost and though you, know LIKE i, said they just
played with that sense of fire urgency that you know
that they weren't ready for the. Season they, end and it's,
LIKE i don't, know, Man it's like these you, know
(49:58):
The warriors came out a little lethargic and it costs, them,
man because The rockets controlled from the. Tip they controlled
from the start to.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Finish they. Did and that game took a lot out
of The. Warriors. Yeah the other night they took a
lot Of it took a lot out of. Them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:15):
Uh and you look At thompson, Young dylan Brook Dylan
brooks played. That Dylan brooks has played really well in this.
Series he, shot he shot the. Ball, well you, know
he's gonna play. Defense he's gonna fight you tooth and.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Nail. Uh Bad. Fleet the last two, games Bad fleet
has been on. One, yeah he.
Speaker 3 (50:33):
Understands he understands a. Moment Oh, Joe he's been. There he's.
One he's a, champion he's. One he knows what it
is like to play this level of basketball and, compete you,
know at the highest. Form so, UH i think he
gives Them he definitely gave him life. Tonight but you,
know he gives them a sense of. Confidence i'm probably
probably going into every. Game, yeah, yeah especially he he really.
(50:58):
Is but they got a young. Team BUT i think
the thing is they're gonna be they might look to give.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Up you know, what.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
Other Than shingoon And, Thompson i'll be willing to part
with anybody else to Get Kevin.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Durant what you think about, That, Joe, yeah they GET.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Kt, yeah if you had to get because you're gonna
have to give up at least one or two of,
them young. Boy but, look if you Want Jalen, green
if you Want Dylan, brooks if you Want Jabari, Smith
i'll be. Willing the only two people that are untouchable
for me Is thompson And. Shingoon.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
YEAH i.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
THINK i Think, Green green And smith they got enough
talent to where wherever they go they can change. It
they can change your team or franchise a. PROGRAM i
like both of. Them but, Yeah i'll definitely make that.
Trade IF i was A houston to GET kt, man
please go In Goon Thompson Van.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
Fleet, yeah.

Working on skill a skill set right?
Speaker 3 (54:04):
Right you know people think, jumping jumping over somebody's a skill,
set because but what happens when your? Athlete, see that's
WHY i think yok can play a long time because
he's not he's not relying on athletic. Ability and a
guy that doesn't rely on athletic ability to A Tom brady. Instinct, now,
now if you got athleticism through The yin yang and
(54:26):
it slowly, dissipate you have to reinvent. Yourself you see
What lebron did when he realized that he couldn't continuously
go to the basket and go to the?
Speaker 2 (54:34):

Developed that big range and three point shot until it's. Deadly,
yeah you have, to you have. To you have to
evolve with the, game especially when you play a long.
Time you play twenty twenty two, Years, bro the game
is gonna change a few. Times and he and he
been smack dab in the middle of, right he is
back dab in the middle of the. Game is involved
because think about, it the two, thousand the, twins the twenty.

Tens now he's in the twenty. Twenties they ain't very
many guys that can say they played three. Decades, Now
vin played four Becau vince started in the late, nineties
he went to two, thousand he went to the, tenths
and then he finished in the twenty.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
Twenties so they.
Speaker 3 (55:14):
Ain't very many guys that gets an opportunity to say
they played two to three or maybe even two. Decades
maybe two is deep doing. It but you start talking
about three four, decades that's saying. Something BUT i still
Think houston is missing a. CLOSER i think they need
a guy THAT i could give him the ball and
he can go get me a.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
Bucket you.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
See this is my, committee and there's nothing wrong with,
That but when you get into the, playoffs you wouldn't
want to have that one person THAT i can put
the ball and say he's gonna get me a, Bucket, Joe,
yeah a bucket of.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
Fire you need. It that's just the slows. Down this
ain't the regular season.

man it's been a lot of careless. Turnovers, man a
lot of cardless. Turnovers that's cost teams.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
Games. Obviously SOMETIMES i.
Speaker 3 (56:24):
Think guys are trying to do more than what they,
should more than more than what your ability allows you to.
Do because SOMETIMES i see guys try to be they
try to be. Hero, yeah, bro that you not required
to be the. Hero they feel like they got to
step up and make a, play make a, shot you,

just make the simple right play a lot of times
