Speaker 1 (00:11):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Before the game, JJ Reddy stormed out of the press
and after a question about substitutions, he took offense to
a question that basically asked if he was lean on
his assistance, if his assistant coaches when it comes to
help him with substitutions a substitution.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Are you saying that because I'm inexperienced and that it
was inexperienced decision that I made. You don't think I
talked to my assistance about substitutions every single time. That's
a weird assumption. He stormed out. I would have stormed
out too. Yes, I have no choice. Yes, I talked
to my assistants. Hell, my sistants know too. We don't
(00:47):
have a choice. How many times I'm gonna ask you
a question, O Joe. Let me ask you a question,
O Joe. How many times have JJ Reddick been a
coach in the NBA. I think that's a very valid
question because he is in experience as a coach, and
it's a bad all he had to do because if
he leaned on his coaches, Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I lean on my coaches.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
That's a part of like when we have a time together, said,
what do you think, how does Ruy look, how does
Doe look? How does Lebron look? How does first of all,
that's Lebron and Luca is on it. They already said,
Lebron at the six minute mark, you're coming out to
get a blow for two to three minutes. We're gonna
put you back in.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Luca.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If it's really good and we're up ten twelve, you
might come out the last minute of the first quarter.
So that way we can steal a minute or so,
cause we get to tie the TV timeout, So you
get one minute there, you get an other minute of
the two there, and then we're gonna let you sit
for four minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So we're gonna steal some time.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Everybody else is on the rotation like, okay, hey, pull
and get in.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
But I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But you can't get mad when people ask you questions,
Old Joe. That's a part about being a.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Car I understand it, even though being a coach, but
also being a reporter. It's about watching the game also
being a reporters about understanding. For hell, we are in
a position if I'm a Laker reporter, damn, we do
got to keep Luca of them in there.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We do got to have him played all four quarters.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Because we're not getting they don't look at the game
like that, O Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
My job is that My job is to ask you
a questions. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I understand, I'm just I'm just seeing it from the
lens on both sides.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, you see it from the lens of the player.
And you get up said that.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Somebody questioned to go, I mean you right, But I
mean you gotta realize most of these reporters, O Joe,
have never played, They've never been in the huddle, they've
never had the sub you tell. 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,
(02:41):
we understand, well, why you call that dumb play? You
think I called it because I didn't want to get
no yards? Hey, what's the play we got that's gonna
lose a four yard?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yep? Call that one. Hey, what what's.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That play that we got that big that's gonna call
joea airball that shot out, dribble the ball like a bound.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, that's the player I want to run up this
time about.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of course, not normally, normally your assistant coaches, and now
it's a lot of them nowadays, But normally your assistant
coaches stay in the head coaches. Here, you have a
head assistant and he keeps coaching tack as far as Okay, look,
old children have been out there quel straight minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We might need to give him a blow, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So normally your assistant is always an extension of the
head and he normally probably Scotti Brooks. I'm thinking Scotti
Brooks is this leader that native. Yeah, so they may
tell you like, well, I got four files, you know
what I mean, Like we can't.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We might want to take him out and give him
a break.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So for him to go with them guys for that
extended period of time, he probably just like forget it. Yeah,
I don't think he had no trust in any of
those guys coming off their bench. He felt he was
gonna go with his big guns and he strug with, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Dang, well hey, but as a as a but oh Joe,
but as a coach, you know this.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When it goes well, you're genius. When it doesn't go well,
you're gonna get second gas. That's how it is. That's
a that's a part of it. You know, when somebody
if somebody asked you you play, 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 tell to look and this
(04:24):
and this down and distance, this area of the field.
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.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You do it, you don't, you know?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
They play other they play other players. I was quick
to tell my coaches that. I tell Mike that all
the time. I say, hey, you know that guy get
paid here that right, he picked up his check on
money just like I did. So don't think, hey, I'm
the only one getting paid and they just find this guy.
He jumped on the back of a truck somewhere. Nah, bro,
he in the NFL too. He here for a reason,
(04:55):
Because sometimes I think coaches, really, hey, and and I
tell this all the time, Joe, anybody in the professional
league has the ability to make anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Else in a professional league look bad. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't care if it's the best Beast baseball, best
basketball player against the whatever somebody might think is the worst.
He still can light his ass a receiver that you're like,
who is this kid?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Hold on? What game was that?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh lab McConkey remember that playoff game? He will cooking
on chunkin boy. Yeah, everybody in the business, you were cooking. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
See, that's what I tell you. That's what I tried
to tell Joe. What I tried to tell Joe. I
tried to tell him. You know, you take one of
the better athletes of all time. You know I'm talking
about me, me playing you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
One on one. Oh man, here we all. Hey, listen,
I'm gonna tell you when I go by you.
Speaker 3 (05:50):

(08:39):
t Wolves knock out the Lakers. God, I was pressed
for time. What I made to say, Lakers going home
in five, That's what I meant. But y'all 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
add Man was gonna struggle shooting the ball tonight and
they were gonna win this game because Rudy Gobert was
(09:00):
gonna be one of the few guys in a playoff
game to have a twenty twenty game.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I went down scle Gay. I like that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
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 the Lakers on
the glass fifty four to thirty seven, eighteen to eight
on the offensive end, thirty six to twenty nine on
(09:27):
the defensive end, or total of fifty four for the Wolves.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Thirty seven for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And you get ad Man shooting five of nineteen for
fifteen points. 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 to 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 you, Joe JJ Stubborn
(09:55):
for him not to play Jackson Hayes to play Maxi
Kleeber who 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 would have made a difference, but it's like, you're
not don't play the guy at all. After Rudy because
you put Lebron into four, you're so small, You're really
(10:15):
really small, because Lebron is six nine, so Lebron is
the tallest guy you got.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And Rudy just would playing tap tap tap tap tap.
What did you like?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
How do how were the Wolves able to win this game?
And on the road in a hostile and 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, the Lakers looked
so lethargic on to start the game. It's like they
did he would no system for Upules had all the energy,
(10:43):
they had the sense of urgency as if they was
on the brink, you know what I mean, and uh,
they kind.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Of controlled the whole entire game. It was.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
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 they had got a one point lead,
but I never felt threatened that they was gonna win
the game. I'm gonna be honest. They just had no
fluidity offensively, 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
(11:13):
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.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You want to get him to where he can't play race.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
He's bound to have a game like this to where
he can win you a game. And tonight, I mean, man,
everything was falling his way, from 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. Even if they played great defense,
he's still banging on one time getting to a great shot,
(11:47):
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 presence. And tonight, show Man,
they got war down in this series and the young
t Wolves take advantage man of a wounded animal because
they didn't have Oh Joe, you and not talked about
(12:08):
this on you. I said, Oh Jo, they don't have
a big 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 Yoga, yes, or if they run
it and I'm trying to think of the bigs that
was in there.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Maybe if they run in the same shit.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, but I wasn't thinking about Rudy Gobert because I
don't think of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Rudy Gobert as an offensive out.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
This was Rudy Gobert's twenty seven points playoff career high,
twenty four rebounds playoff career high. O Jo, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna let you have it at six players with
at least twenty five points and and twenty rebounds on
seventy five percent field goal shooting. How you like these names?
Shaquille O'Neill, Will, Chamberlain, Moses Alone, Whole Grant West Sumso,
(12:52):
Rudy Gobert, SHAQ MVP, Will four times MVP, was his
three time MVP, Whole Grat was a very important cab
to a championship in Chicago and in the at the
Lakers West Unsail. He just happened to have been Rookie
of the Year and MVP in the same season, but
(13:13):
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
of the greats now Uh, you know, and he gave
the Lakers, he gave him problems tonight, Kjoe.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know they they.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Had no but I thought he played great off of
random in Edward's you know what I mean, meaning by
their aggression getting to the basket where it's him getting
put the help.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They kind of got him going because he scored.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
It opened them up because now you come to help,
you come, y'all gets beat, you go to health and
you see him lobby because here's the thing, they didn't
run down one player. God, all he did was getting
he called lobs and he got it off the room.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
In don't and he got something early.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He got he got a couple of easy layers and
dunk's early which kind of got him going.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And he kind of carried that throughout the whole night.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And defensively he was a master blocking shots all twin shots,
and offensively he was just a cleanup man.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, what do you think not only was it a
clean up man to peeedback on what Joe talk 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 because one sharks smell blood in
the water. But they're coming to get you, and the
tempo will spell. They smell blood to night. A game
like this three one, you know you got to put
(14:26):
some type of effort, some type of intensity going forward.
The Lakers came out, they came out flat. They came
out flat. The Wolves had already beat him, beat him
at home before, so come into again, coming into the
hostile environment. They already got confident because we listen, we've
already done it before.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So what's the chance that we can do it again?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The likelihood is probably good even with Anthony ed but
not having a type of game he has to have.
You have the unlikely person that comes out and wins
a game for you with the go beell. He dominated
both both ends of the court. Neutralize it la la
and drives having he feasting on second chance points. Fucket
(15:05):
looking bad, It's looking bad.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The Pistons go to New York and beat the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Ky cunning Down twenty four points, eight rebounds, eight as
sists of Sred Thompson twenty two points on eight to
ten field goals, seven rebounds, two blocks to Bias Harris
seventeen eight four blocks, Jalen Durwin nine points, fourteen rebounds,
sixty six two blocks. Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
The game is really really close.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
The Pistons have scored four hundred and twenty one points
the Knicks four to twenty nine rebounds one eighty. Pistons
are dominating this category one eighty two to one forty
eight plus thirty four three points made three pointers made
forty four for the Pistons, forty seven for the Knicks turnovers.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Had it not been for turnovers, Detroit might have never
won this series.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I haven't know, Joe seventy turnover to forty six points
in the paint one seventy six to what eighty in
favor of the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But the games have been very, very close.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, And who knows, had they called that file Sunday,
we might be having a different conversation today.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We might be.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Even with them squaddering away to twenty one point league,
with letting the Knicks go on their twenty one uh,
their twenty one old nothing run. But I think this
has been an even see the two teams who are
pretty even to me if you ask me. But Detroit
is just so gritty. The biggest discrepancy of what I
see is in the free throws. Uh Detroit Detroustan shot
(16:38):
sixteen for twenty seven at night. I mean the Knicks
shot sixteen for twenty seven fifty nine percent and Detroit
was twenty six for thirty six from the line. The
Knicks miss eleven, both miss eleven free throws, shooting fifty
nine percent from the line. You lose about one. He's like,
damn they are that compete, man. I think I think
(16:59):
Detroit is kind of for the Knicks down a little bit.
If you just want me to be honest, like, this
is a bruising series. I mean, you look at Brunston.
I ain't think he was gonna come back for the
game in Detroit, but he did and they end up winning,
And I think it's just kind of, you know, it's
games go on, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think he kind of wears them down.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's why I say early in the series, you want
to pick him up full court, bumping, grind all that
by the time we get the game six, five, seven, Yeah,
he gonna be broke down a little bit. Yeah, tfgo
warn down due the regular season, playing in forty three
forty four minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, regular season. That's why they don't because in the playoffs,
he continues.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's not like it stops in the playoffs, you know,
what I mean, he only got a rotation of seven
eight guys and you ain't got really that's in the
real season. He might cutting that down to six and
the posts. You know, all they guys are pretty average.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Today.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
They didn't have nobody who kind of you know, stepped
up and separated themselves to you know, baby pool is
win off. But uh this so I think this from
going seven man, and I got Detroit pulling out of seven.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. You gotta get truit winning
this room. Joe Man, you know that the Knicks is
not gonna lose this.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I know they they scawned tonight. This and the Knicks
had what thirteen turnovers? They missed eleven eleven free throws
nigga Jaylen brust in the car into the town They
were nine nine for thirty, you know, shooting Knight. Brunton
only scoring sixteen. I think what Towns had Towns has seventeen.
I think it was more so the turnovers, even though
they barely lost. I don't think Jamie Brunston has another
(18:28):
game like this. He never had another game like this.
This was the down game for him, you know, scoring, scoring,
seventeen sixteen to night. But I don't, I don't. I
don't see I don't see them losing this game. I mean,
excuse me losing this series. You know, it was just
a bad Nights to night. It was a bad time
and they look wow down to me.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm gonna be honest with you and to play another
guy to go back to Detroit now and played playing
Detroit travel all.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I think they I think Detroit doing what.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
They want as far as wearing them down, you know,
making this the long series is all. It's gonna be
in Detroit's favor. Yeah, if you look at the bench,
Shrewd is coming in giving him great minutes. Nahlite Beasley
is giving them tremendous binness. Now had twenty six bench points.
They outscored him on the bench six nineteen. So they
(19:17):
outscored they outscored him twenty six to nineteen on the bench.
And you see the difference in the ball game. But
I think when Shrewder comes in, he does a great job.
He gets Ky Cunningham off the ball, he's making timely shots,
he's destribbing the ball.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Malik Beasley's coming in making some timely threes. I love.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm Sue Thompson. I love the way he play. He's pressed,
he could pay, and he's a two way player. He
can pick him up full court. Hey, he can put
the ball on the floor, get to the rim. He's
rebounding at this stage.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
JB.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Bickerstaff has done an unbelievable job with this team, and
you can see why he was in the running for
Coach of the Year. I get Kenny Atkinson one. I
got no problem with that. They were the best team
in the East. Record wives will start to finish. But
what JB. Bickerstaff has done with this team and to
get them into the sixth seed and get them in
(20:05):
a situation where they can possibly get out of the
first round, he's done a heck of a job and
he should be commended because these young guys, now they
give one more piece. I still believe they're a piece
away from truly truly contending.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But they got some young guys.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What they got forty five rebounds, They got out rebounding
a little bit because but you know, you've got a
seventh foot cat, you got a six eleven seven foot
Mitchell Robinson, and they just got the one big But
give those guys credit. I thought they were gritted and
even though when the Knicks went on that run and
passed them up, that's a young team on the road
and they keep it together. They kept their boys, and
they ended up coming back going their own run, take
(20:43):
the lead, lead and never look back. They were special, man,
they were special. You're gonna have to give you know,
you're gonna have to look out for Detroit. Give them credit.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I don't think k didn't played a great game.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He was six to seventeen from the field, but for
the most part, you know, he controlled the game.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I love is aggression. Yeah, twelve three.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Throws, made eleven of them, so it lets me know,
you know, he ain't just selling for Joe the Cup.
But yeah, like you said, the Thompson kid eight for ten,
you know, him getting to the line. He was six
for twelve from the line. But he's being aggressive as well.
So you know, Detroit has enough to advance out this series.
They just got to be poor as impatient, you know,
(21:23):
especially down the stretch in closing these games.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hold on, that's the difference.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Hold hey, you hold on, man, Because this is the
second time I heard Joe say this, and not only
you saying that Detroit are gonna close this series out
in seven. But you're saying it with confidence, Like how
much do you really believe in the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (21:42):

Hey, listen, listen. I play tennis on the big court.
My letter movee is phenomenal. It's like I'm still twenty
two years old. Right, But then you think about pickleball.
The court is so small, so it takes me to
get from one end to the other if I'm playing
solo in like three steps. Yeah, so my my short
my short area quickness is still there.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Nothing it's really changed.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm still I still got I'm still real twitchy, So

No, ain't no, no, no, cause that sounds that sounds
like it costs too much.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I drive. I can get a rent car for sixty dollars.
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
If you've got a house in the Hampter, you're not
worried about no Coster helicopter.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You probably owned the helicopters.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And on the way we time on time, I hold it.
The Hampter is like for the risk folk. Huh, yes, Joe,
you got you got a house. I got some people
over there. I know some people who know some people.
You know what I'm saying, Like we're good.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Like like rich like rich people. Huh, I know some people.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yo, Hey, you know you don't have plenty of room.
We got some room now you know y'all can come
down to have Yeah. Yeah, I mean when it when it? Hey,
I is in June.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
When is it? I'm gonna get y'all to date. I'm
gonna send y'all to date.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
So I'm gonna asking you, y'all, a hey, I need,
I need, I need a place I can let my
hair down, I can relax it laughing.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh Joe, when he go out there at the ball,
he let me.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Oh no, now you know I know the place. Hey, Joe,
Ping Pong, Ping Pong. I'm the Liberty City Ping Pong
champ and over town too. I'm Pink, I'm hem, I'moe.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Who you think they call to train the Asian to
play table tennis?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh Joe, here, you're god. Wait. Oh oh, you can't
play no table tennis.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
You can't even see you wear glasses. Hey, hey, hey,
chat chat, do me favorite chat? Y'all send Joe on
Twitter and instagrams. Send him some clips of me playing
tennis so he understand is how good I am?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All right? Okay, all right, yeah yeah, pickle ball, you
ain't good.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
But I like Joe. I agree with you. I think
it's gonna be a seven game series. I do think.
I think the Piston is gonna tie this thing up
three to three and they're gonna come back.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Now, this is not gonna be a good look.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
For the for the Knicks that they lose this series,
because remember they had to lead on on the last year,
they had to lead on the Pacers, and the Pacers
win Game six and then they go in the Knicks
and go into Game seven and they blow them out
on their home court. All know, Tips lose this, what
might be you might be in trouble on be in
the hot season. But yeah, that's that's just my good feeling.
(27:29):
I like, how to piss us playing. Look, every game
you ain't gonna win.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Every game is not gonna be pretty. You gotta win
some ugly games, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, yeah, I think tonight was one of those ugly
games that they ended up pulling out. And that ain't nothing,
but you know, more experience for their young team over there,
especially on the old It's one thing to win a
close game at home, but you go on the road
into a hostile environment.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
We go understand what Madison Square MSG.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
We understand what that is, and that's a gritty team
the Knicks, and to go in there and get a
hard fought victory. Pistols got a lot of confidence. The
Celtics blows out the Magic Game five. Jason Tatum was
sensational thirty five points, eight rebounds, ten assists. Celtics are
seventy one all time in the playoffs when they record
when he records ten of sis Jason tATu's last three game,
(28:15):
he went thirty five, eight and ten, thirty seven, fourteen
and three, thirty six, nine and four. He's playing like that,
and then you got Jaylen Brown gave you twenty three
or six.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's gonna be stopping. Hey, hey, you know and Joe,
it's it's almost unfailing. Yeah, it's over. Yeah, it's almost unfair.
Just watching him. I think about fair play when it
comes to salary.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Cap and and it's like, how do you have all
these players? Not only do you have all these players
that are good, not not just just starting five. The
goddamn bench comes in, Princes Sam Houser. Yeah, and they
don't miss a beat. Obviously, the game of basketball is
a game of runs. But you don't feel bad about
subvn or having people coming in and out the game
(29:03):
because you understand what you're getting. Once your starters go out.
It's it's unfair, and I hate to jump the gun,
but I'm sure it's fair for me to be able
to say, and I'm sure the chat would agree with
me that the celsius A probably gona end up win
the NBA Championship again. And if they keep if they
keep it, if they keep the same squad together, there's
a chance they win.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That montherfucker getting next year too. It's possible. It's possible.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
The guys coming off the bench, Man, they barely misshot tonight.
I mean, they weren't playing with Orlando. They was ready
to close, man, Orlando had to lead, and next thing
I know, they're down by twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
I was like, what got?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, hey, I couldn't get the game. So I'm watching,
I'm watching it on my phone and you know the thing,
it don't go. So you know I forgot. Did I
hate the little back arrow Joe that ding Orlando need
a Uh they need a point guard over there with
Ben Carro and Wagner. Yeah, they need to do They
(30:03):
need over there Jaylen Suggs and Dorman pink guard. I
don't know why they didn't play cold.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I don't know. Cole Anthony might have been hurt, hurt, but.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I think decent minutes he gave him some decent minutes.
Uh not a enough go. But I'm saying that he
didn't play a whole lot in the series. He played
this It seemed like he played this game out of desperation.
You know what I'm saying. It's like, lad, let's let's
throw all we got because he ain't been playing on
the red because I watched him, like, well, Dad, what's sugs?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I know?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Excuse me, Cole Anthony slugs that is nicked currently.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Jaylen Brown had twenty three points, six rebounds. Boston has
won sixteenth straight playoff games when he scored twenty or
more points.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That's crazy, man.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
They got two d of Marster because think about it. No, Uh,
you got J T and JB. You got Derrick White
that can give the solid twenty. You got for Zingers
that can give you twenty. You got Holiday that's gonna
play on both days of the court and can give
you somewhere twelve sixteen. Uh, Al Horford, Big Al Andy,
he gonna play outstanding defense. He's gonna rebound for you.
(31:05):
He shot, you know, can give you double digits. Then
you get Peyton Princey coming off the bench. You get
Cole Houser coming off the bench. They got a Cordnet.
They got a bunch of guys chipping in, man, a
bunch of guys chipping in.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's that championship pedigree.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They know, they rose, They played to the t they
starting as it's gonna be tough to beat them in
a seven game series.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay, who you are? J. J.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Reddick said for tigue wasn't a factor in the Lakers
lost Sunday night. Reddick became the first coach to use
the same five for an entire half of game since
at least nineteen ninety eight, as far back as substitution
tracking goals. JJ said, today, our two best players miss
lay up at the rim, and I don't think they
miss left because they were tired. I spoke to everyone
yesterday they would have potentially played the second half, uh,
(31:50):
and they all understood there was no issue with that.
LA has been outscored one oh five to sixty nine
in the fourth quarter of this series. They're shooting twenty
five cent eight of thirty two percent. Hey, that's what
t yes.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Hey the famous phrase when you play sports, the tigue
makes it makes a fool of us.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
All, make cowards of us all. But yeah, yeah, that
that that that that too.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Easy layups, easy lay up, easy lay up layups.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That's fatigue.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Lack of concentration, lack of focus on one of the
easiest shots to make, that's fatigue.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yes, come on, man, hey, come on, come on Jay Lebron.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Look, I don't care what Lebron says. I don't care
what he says. He's playing. He played forty six minutes
on forty year old legs. There's a reason why he
only took two shots. He had zero points in the
fourth quarter. He was exhaust And it's physical. Luca played
for Yes, because you got to bang Julius Randall. You
got to chase somebody. It's not like you just standing
(32:54):
out there like hey, traffic cop right right. You see
a man out there taking the challenge. They have the
whole shoving match out there.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That takes energy. Bro to do that.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
You know, he ain't just walk down to the block,
catch it on your spot and get comfortable.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
He fighting.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
And then if you fight me down to this spot,
by the time you get the ball, you're gonna be
a little exhausted.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
And that's the whole playing that wrestling ram down.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Man, you can't play no whole half of no NBA basketball,
playoff basketball, and don't think with that intensity, with the focus,
that's stretch. Yeah, that I'll say that definitely was fatigue
for me. I mean I just seen careless mistake for sure,
you know, careless mistakes.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And what were they? What was he supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Of course you're not gonna say fatigue because you allow
those guys to play that many minutes, so that would
make you look bad. Of course you're not gonna say fatigue.
What part of it? Because it was your decision. I disagree.
I think most people would disagree with you that fatigue
was an issue.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
There's a if. If fatigue wasn't an issue, team would.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Be playing the guy's forty for twenty four minutes in
the second half all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Nobody does that. Yeah, nobody does that for him.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
But listen, but listen, hey, uncle Joe. Nobody does that
for a reason. But in the Lakers situation, they don't
have a choice but to do it.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
This doesn't happen. They even have a chance. They got
six points from the bench.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
They got six points from the bitch, and theoretically wasn't
a bitch because Phinney Smith played the entire second half.
So the problem that they're running into is that Minnesota
is able to play Rudy Gobert for twenty minutes, they
can't play Jackson Hayes, but for six. So now you
bring Now you put Lebron at the five. Now he
has to bang Julius Randall or he has to you know,
(34:40):
so at some point in time, Gabe Vincent Jackson Hayes,
he lost all confidence in dun't connect because he doesn't
DALNK connect his DNP coaching decision. And he might get
help him by spacing the poor and knocking down some three.
But he can't remember his defensive assignment. He can't remember
the rotation of what he's supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Do I head? Do I go with the road? What
do I do? Do I do?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And I think so jj I think it's a lot
of pressure on the perimeter guys. To Austin Reeves Luke, Yeah,
it's a lot of pressure on them, not only the score,
but to defend. Let me tell you something, in this atmosphere,
playoff atmosphere, if you can't guard the first dribble or
two to get to give yourself some time to where
(35:22):
we can at least get eyes on the man or
give you a little help. Then when you're getting beat
off the first move. Oo, man, we can't get help
there fast enough to help you.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Look they getting in the paint, they get in the
teeth igh defense and doing whatever they want because look
they get past the guards, our back line defenses brun
and during Finnish smill and yeah yeah, and then like
you know, you have no you have no rem protection,
you know you you and scramble mode every defensive possession
(35:53):
and it's just tough me.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
It's just gonna be hard for him to win. I
think the size.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
That that the Timberwolves have, they taken advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I agree with you, Joe.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I think the thing here is what's happening is that
first of all, Luca can't stop nobody at the first dribble,
so they're getting around him. And so when you bring him,
guys getting and putting the guy that's in the dunker
spot of getting wind up shots and shoot around threeze.
So now and then add man ad man stick keeps
saying he keeps auster Reeves, or he keeps ruined, or
he keeps a Luca in the pick and roll. No,
(36:31):
I want him bring him to be and then they
letting him play one on one. You can't let ad
Man play one on one. He's a supremes killed one
on one player. You got to make him play team ball,
make somebody else beat you, especially just like tonight we
saw Jamal Burry get hot. He had forty three, just
like ant Man. And what happened They let him play
one on one. Okay, you let a guy get hot
(36:52):
and you let him play one on one. Sorry, I
think what has happened is by them trap trapping at
Man or kind of put him in this little cage
to you know, make him get a ball up.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
He's the right plays, okay, O.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Choe and them guys are making the Lakers pay, whether
it's McDaniels getting dunks or threes or Randall, you know,
making the right play when he catch at the free
throw line where he's attacking the basket because they ain't
got no REMP protection and he's getting to the lines
shooting free throws or whatever he wants. And then in
the fourth quarter, when a man see he know he
can beat the double team anytime he wants, he starts
(37:27):
beating the double team and he starts putting the on
this on the Lakers as far as getting in the paint,
making plays, shooting the threes, and now he can't stop that.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
But there's the thing, though, Joe.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Is that if you go back and look at Sunday's game,
he's raising up, shooting three, just happy to even get
the ball out of his hand.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
See, I want to make, guys, I would have make.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Let's see if McDaniel can make those plays in the
fourth quarter with five minutes to go. I know a
man can beat me and man and man. He's one
of the five or six great best players in the NBA,
so I know what he's more than capble of doing. Right, Okay,
let's see. Let's see what you got, Josh mc j mcdainey.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You got that. I think I think he can do it.
He's he's shown this, he's shown and proving this series
that while going to see it again in there, I
want to see it.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I want you open that. Man gonna be confident. He's
gonna take these shots. He's gonna attack the basket. I
think defensively, when he plays great defense, he kind of
fuels his offense, you know what I mean. I think
that's kind of all of them and if you notice Minnesota,
they guard. They don't give up a lot of the
easy points. I know Lucas can going to run, I
know ar can get hot, but for the most part
they sit down and guard.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Man, they sitting down the guard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
But see the difference is is that Luka is shooting
over the top. Those guys are breaking you down getting
to the basket. There's a difference. Hey, look, there's a
greater chance that you're gonna miss that twenty seven twenty
eight for the that me missing this this layup. Yeah, yeah,
because you see what's happening and is finishing at the
(38:54):
rim or the folity.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
They ain't got no tub gods finish. We really don't have.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I mean, Luca can beat you off the dribble, but
it's not it's because of sabbiness.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
He ain't gonna just here you just out and buy you.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
He's gonna hurky jerky, you know, he gonna sit down
on your he go your pay step through you off
the glass and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
We got this tomorrow night, though, whoa what here we
here we go, here we go and.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Get this tomorrow night, don't Joe, So hold on, hold on,
you said, Lakers in five, right, So obviously that's not
that there's no chance for that.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So you still feel the Lakers have a chance to
win this series? Come on, you? Are you you really
believe that? Though I'm gonna ask seriously, No, I don't
believe that.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
He just going with it because he's been rolling with
him all all. Yeah, Hello, hello, Jodan. You say we
ain't gonna win tomorrow night?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Nah? No, I don't got y'all win. I got Minnesota
coming in there.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I got them coming to Lilah, laying throwing the whole
party up and there in crypto.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
And you know what happened if y'all lose tomorrow? Right?
And none that Because we're not losing. I'm just saying,
do you know what's going to I'm hypothetically speaking, do
you know what hypotheticals?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I don't do hypotheticals. Hypothetically, if I slip in my garage,
I'll be a mayboll. But guess what hypothetical see you that?
If that's so, if you sleep in your garage, will
come No, Nah, you a fool because you should.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Be inside of the baby. So that why man, what
puts up on it? Joe an? It ain't make it nervous?

just got to come to that conclusion. Like man, Kobe, Yeah,
most people do like Kobe. Ninety percent of the people
in l A love Kobe. But it ain't gonna be
There's never a such a situation where it's all or
every Yeah. So once you remove all of every from
(43:22):
your vocabulary.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Right, you be good. I just they're just thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Man. Obviously the past is one of the greatest ever
played the game. And the tragic passing, Yeah, the tragic passing.
But the even bothers a mural with great understanding what
Kobe means for that that city, what he's done for
the Lakers organization and the people of l A. They
even want to vandalize a mural is beyond me. Beyond me, damn.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
It's more.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
It says more about them than than I mean. I mean,
think about what it takes to go bad. Yeah, you
ain't got nothing going on this to be just I
don't know. Yeah, you do to destroy some property that
ain't that that that you didn't buy, that you did
is not yours.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
People always destroy you. Hey, you want to destroy something,
destroy your kish that they want to go viral. We
in the eight Anything you do go viral.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
They gonna catch They catch the right person on the
wrong day and they gonna be viral.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Oh wondmn man, Yeah, God yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Kobe Stefane Castle is the recipient of the Wilt Chamberlain
Trophy the twenty twenty five here NBA Rookie of the
Year first and one back to back for m VP's
Castle twenty five victor women Yama UH twenty four. And
they're the first teammates to go back to back since
you know with Ojoe, who's the last teammates to go
(44:53):
back to back back to back uh rook at Rookie
of the Year, Damn Andrew Wiggins and Carlin No word,
don't turn your head. You turn your head the other way.
It's still gonna be correct. They got they got a
(45:15):
promise in future.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
You know they can't. He gets some hang over there.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
They're gonna be a highest because when you cause think
about it, you know, big Ud Spurs. I mean Winby wanted,
Castles not wanted, David Robinson wanted, Tim Duncan wanted.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
So they've had for a rookie.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Ay, and then by two years Winby might be the
best thing in the league.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
He he incredible. I mean for me, he shoots a
little bit too many threads.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
For me, I was like, hey, get your big, long,
tall butt died on that block. You turn over one
of your shoulders. But hey, that's that's where that's where
these guys are. According to they have been whispers around
the league that the San Antonio Spurs could be a
potential Atlantic spot for one Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
You like Wimby and KD together, I do? I do.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
It looked like he going somewhere in Texas, but I
would love to see k KD and women.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Oh Niko has to go. Try to make a move
for him and die. Yeah, yep. I don't know what
he I don't know what he I don't know if where.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
In terms of draft picks, now we know he got
one of the one of the Lakers draft picks. I
don't know if that's enough. I don't know if the
Spurs won't that draft pick and one of those bigs Lively,
a Gafford or somebody else, because he's really what he
wants to compare. He wants to pay a Kyrie a D.
But Phoenix, Phoenix w won't try to trade him. It
(46:41):
wasn't like he asked for no trade KD. No, they
probably they'd probably be willing to, you know, do something.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I can't see him.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
I can't see him not trading him, you know what
I mean, they probably gonna get actually what they want,
but they probably get some No, you're.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Not gonna get what you gave up for all those
draft picks. And they gave up, they gave up move
I say they gave up draft picks.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
You know, they gave of Michael Bridges and Cam Johnson
and they get and they probably I think they gave
up like four first round picks. Three or four first
round picks. Ain't didn't work out. But you said, you
know what, we're gonna win the championship. That's gonna be
the last pick in the draft. YadA, YadA, YadA. I'm
not worried about it.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
What happens when you don't you don't even make the playoffs,
and what you could get to rebuild that goes to
somebody else. No, I oh, you know what I'm saying.
I buy all these blocks and yeah, man, my house
gonna be so nice. But I get this thing. They're like, no, no, no, no,
no no. The blocks that you just bought, they belong
to me. Let me gonna get those. Let me go
(47:42):
get those pieces that you was gonna build your house
win now, let.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Me get that. I still I still like Katie.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
I still like Katie going to Okay see now, I'm
not sure how far okay See goes. I don't believe
you're going in the playoffs. I just say I think
I think the pairing of him Sam.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Presty Sam prest is like, nah, that's that's that's not
going on. You didn't tell me because look they look
at that. It like hold on, bro, if you talk,
if we knew you was gonna live, because think about it,
a lot of times when you have a great player,
you want to trade. If he know he leaving, I'm
gonna trade you because I'm gonna get some compensation. KD
walked down the door and then they ain't get nothing
for him. Yeah, think about what you could have got
(48:17):
for KD six years ago, six, five, six first round picks.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
He walked out the door and you got nothing.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, yeah, and they were able to rebuild it. A
lot of that had to do with Shay because think
about what the Clippers gave up to get Paul George.
Think about what the Rockets gave up to get Russ.
They traded Chris Paul, so they just and Sam. You
could say whatever you want about Sam Presty. He did
(48:47):
draft d he did draft Russ. He did draft Harden Obaca,
Reggie Jackson, Steven Adams, Jaylen Williams. Although all those chand Hogan,
all those guys. He made the trade for shape. He
could put it at talent. He got a great aft
(49:07):
of talent. I don't see that your uh no, I
just I see okay, see doing really well in this
playoffs this year?
Speaker 1 (49:17):
All right, okay, what's you go ahead? Don't your finishing.
I was just gonna say what you think about KT
coming to Miami with Joah and
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Before the game, JJ Reddy stormed out of the press
and after a question about substitutions, he took offense to
a question that basically asked if he was lean on
his assistance, if his assistant coaches when it comes to
help him with substitutions a substitution.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Are you saying that because I'm inexperienced and that it
was inexperienced decision that I made. You don't think I
talked to my assistance about substitutions every single time. That's
a weird assumption. He stormed out. I would have stormed
out too. Yes, I have no choice. Yes, I talked
to my assistants. Hell, my sistants know too. We don't
(00:47):
have a choice. How many times I'm gonna ask you
a question, O Joe. Let me ask you a question,
O Joe. How many times have JJ Reddick been a
coach in the NBA. I think that's a very valid
question because he is in experience as a coach, and
it's a bad all he had to do because if
he leaned on his coaches, Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I lean on my coaches.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
That's a part of like when we have a time together, said,
what do you think, how does Ruy look, how does
Doe look? How does Lebron look? How does first of all,
that's Lebron and Luca is on it. They already said,
Lebron at the six minute mark, you're coming out to
get a blow for two to three minutes. We're gonna
put you back in.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Luca.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If it's really good and we're up ten twelve, you
might come out the last minute of the first quarter.
So that way we can steal a minute or so,
cause we get to tie the TV timeout, So you
get one minute there, you get an other minute of
the two there, and then we're gonna let you sit
for four minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So we're gonna steal some time.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Everybody else is on the rotation like, okay, hey, pull
and get in.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
But I don't think.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But you can't get mad when people ask you questions,
Old Joe. That's a part about being a.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Car I understand it, even though being a coach, but
also being a reporter. It's about watching the game also
being a reporters about understanding. For hell, we are in
a position if I'm a Laker reporter, damn, we do
got to keep Luca of them in there.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We do got to have him played all four quarters.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Because we're not getting they don't look at the game
like that, O Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
My job is that My job is to ask you
a questions. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I understand, I'm just I'm just seeing it from the
lens on both sides.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, you see it from the lens of the player.
And you get up said that.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Somebody questioned to go, I mean you right, But I
mean you gotta realize most of these reporters, O Joe,
have never played, They've never been in the huddle, they've
never had the sub you tell. 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,
(02:41):
we understand, well, why you call that dumb play? You
think I called it because I didn't want to get
no yards? Hey, what's the play we got that's gonna
lose a four yard?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yep? Call that one. Hey, what what's.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That play that we got that big that's gonna call
joea airball that shot out, dribble the ball like a bound.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, that's the player I want to run up this
time about.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of course, not normally, normally your assistant coaches, and now
it's a lot of them nowadays, But normally your assistant
coaches stay in the head coaches. Here, you have a
head assistant and he keeps coaching tack as far as Okay, look,
old children have been out there quel straight minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We might need to give him a blow, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So normally your assistant is always an extension of the
head and he normally probably Scotti Brooks. I'm thinking Scotti
Brooks is this leader that native. Yeah, so they may
tell you like, well, I got four files, you know
what I mean, Like we can't.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We might want to take him out and give him
a break.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So for him to go with them guys for that
extended period of time, he probably just like forget it. Yeah,
I don't think he had no trust in any of
those guys coming off their bench. He felt he was
gonna go with his big guns and he strug with, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Dang, well hey, but as a as a but oh Joe,
but as a coach, you know this.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When it goes well, you're genius. When it doesn't go well,
you're gonna get second gas. That's how it is. That's
a that's a part of it. You know, when somebody
if somebody asked you you play, 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 tell to look and this
(04:24):
and this down and distance, this area of the field.
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.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You do it, you don't, you know?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
They play other they play other players. I was quick
to tell my coaches that. I tell Mike that all
the time. I say, hey, you know that guy get
paid here that right, he picked up his check on
money just like I did. So don't think, hey, I'm
the only one getting paid and they just find this guy.
He jumped on the back of a truck somewhere. Nah, bro,
he in the NFL too. He here for a reason,
(04:55):
Because sometimes I think coaches, really, hey, and and I
tell this all the time, Joe, anybody in the professional
league has the ability to make anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Else in a professional league look bad. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't care if it's the best Beast baseball, best
basketball player against the whatever somebody might think is the worst.
He still can light his ass a receiver that you're like,
who is this kid?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Hold on? What game was that?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh lab McConkey remember that playoff game? He will cooking
on chunkin boy. Yeah, everybody in the business, you were cooking. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
See, that's what I tell you. That's what I tried
to tell Joe. What I tried to tell Joe. I
tried to tell him. You know, you take one of
the better athletes of all time. You know I'm talking
about me, me playing you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
One on one. Oh man, here we all. Hey, listen,
I'm gonna tell you when I go by you.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's the reason why they call you actually, because you're
gonna be by your damnself trying.

(08:39):
t Wolves knock out the Lakers. God, I was pressed
for time. What I made to say, Lakers going home
in five, That's what I meant. But y'all 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
add Man was gonna struggle shooting the ball tonight and
they were gonna win this game because Rudy Gobert was
(09:00):
gonna be one of the few guys in a playoff
game to have a twenty twenty game.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I went down scle Gay. I like that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
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 the Lakers on
the glass fifty four to thirty seven, eighteen to eight
on the offensive end, thirty six to twenty nine on
(09:27):
the defensive end, or total of fifty four for the Wolves.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Thirty seven for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And you get ad Man shooting five of nineteen for
fifteen points. 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 to 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 you, Joe JJ Stubborn
(09:55):
for him not to play Jackson Hayes to play Maxi
Kleeber who 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 would have made a difference, but it's like, you're
not don't play the guy at all. After Rudy because
you put Lebron into four, you're so small, You're really
(10:15):
really small, because Lebron is six nine, so Lebron is
the tallest guy you got.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And Rudy just would playing tap tap tap tap tap.
What did you like?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
How do how were the Wolves able to win this game?
And on the road in a hostile and 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, the Lakers looked
so lethargic on to start the game. It's like they
did he would no system for Upules had all the energy,
(10:43):
they had the sense of urgency as if they was
on the brink, you know what I mean, and uh,
they kind.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Of controlled the whole entire game. It was.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
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 they had got a one point lead,
but I never felt threatened that they was gonna win
the game. I'm gonna be honest. They just had no
fluidity offensively, 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
(11:13):
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.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You want to get him to where he can't play race.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
He's bound to have a game like this to where
he can win you a game. And tonight, I mean, man,
everything was falling his way, from 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. Even if they played great defense,
he's still banging on one time getting to a great shot,
(11:47):
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 presence. And tonight, show Man,
they got war down in this series and the young
t Wolves take advantage man of a wounded animal because
they didn't have Oh Joe, you and not talked about
(12:08):
this on you. I said, Oh Jo, they don't have
a big 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 Yoga, yes, or if they run
it and I'm trying to think of the bigs that
was in there.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Maybe if they run in the same shit.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, but I wasn't thinking about Rudy Gobert because I
don't think of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Rudy Gobert as an offensive out.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
This was Rudy Gobert's twenty seven points playoff career high,
twenty four rebounds playoff career high. O Jo, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna let you have it at six players with
at least twenty five points and and twenty rebounds on
seventy five percent field goal shooting. How you like these names?
Shaquille O'Neill, Will, Chamberlain, Moses Alone, Whole Grant West Sumso,
(12:52):
Rudy Gobert, SHAQ MVP, Will four times MVP, was his
three time MVP, Whole Grat was a very important cab
to a championship in Chicago and in the at the
Lakers West Unsail. He just happened to have been Rookie
of the Year and MVP in the same season, but
(13:13):
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
of the greats now Uh, you know, and he gave
the Lakers, he gave him problems tonight, Kjoe.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know they they.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Had no but I thought he played great off of
random in Edward's you know what I mean, meaning by
their aggression getting to the basket where it's him getting
put the help.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They kind of got him going because he scored.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
It opened them up because now you come to help,
you come, y'all gets beat, you go to health and
you see him lobby because here's the thing, they didn't
run down one player. God, all he did was getting
he called lobs and he got it off the room.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
In don't and he got something early.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He got he got a couple of easy layers and
dunk's early which kind of got him going.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And he kind of carried that throughout the whole night.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And defensively he was a master blocking shots all twin shots,
and offensively he was just a cleanup man.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, what do you think not only was it a
clean up man to peeedback on what Joe talk 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 because one sharks smell blood in
the water. But they're coming to get you, and the
tempo will spell. They smell blood to night. A game
like this three one, you know you got to put
(14:26):
some type of effort, some type of intensity going forward.
The Lakers came out, they came out flat. They came
out flat. The Wolves had already beat him, beat him
at home before, so come into again, coming into the
hostile environment. They already got confident because we listen, we've
already done it before.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So what's the chance that we can do it again?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The likelihood is probably good even with Anthony ed but
not having a type of game he has to have.
You have the unlikely person that comes out and wins
a game for you with the go beell. He dominated
both both ends of the court. Neutralize it la la
and drives having he feasting on second chance points. Fucket
(15:05):
looking bad, It's looking bad.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The Pistons go to New York and beat the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Ky cunning Down twenty four points, eight rebounds, eight as
sists of Sred Thompson twenty two points on eight to
ten field goals, seven rebounds, two blocks to Bias Harris
seventeen eight four blocks, Jalen Durwin nine points, fourteen rebounds,
sixty six two blocks. Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
The game is really really close.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
The Pistons have scored four hundred and twenty one points
the Knicks four to twenty nine rebounds one eighty. Pistons
are dominating this category one eighty two to one forty
eight plus thirty four three points made three pointers made
forty four for the Pistons, forty seven for the Knicks turnovers.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Had it not been for turnovers, Detroit might have never
won this series.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I haven't know, Joe seventy turnover to forty six points
in the paint one seventy six to what eighty in
favor of the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But the games have been very, very close.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, And who knows, had they called that file Sunday,
we might be having a different conversation today.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We might be.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Even with them squaddering away to twenty one point league,
with letting the Knicks go on their twenty one uh,
their twenty one old nothing run. But I think this
has been an even see the two teams who are
pretty even to me if you ask me. But Detroit
is just so gritty. The biggest discrepancy of what I
see is in the free throws. Uh Detroit Detroustan shot
(16:38):
sixteen for twenty seven at night. I mean the Knicks
shot sixteen for twenty seven fifty nine percent and Detroit
was twenty six for thirty six from the line. The
Knicks miss eleven, both miss eleven free throws, shooting fifty
nine percent from the line. You lose about one. He's like,
damn they are that compete, man. I think I think
(16:59):
Detroit is kind of for the Knicks down a little bit.
If you just want me to be honest, like, this
is a bruising series. I mean, you look at Brunston.
I ain't think he was gonna come back for the
game in Detroit, but he did and they end up winning,
And I think it's just kind of, you know, it's
games go on, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think he kind of wears them down.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's why I say early in the series, you want
to pick him up full court, bumping, grind all that
by the time we get the game six, five, seven, Yeah,
he gonna be broke down a little bit. Yeah, tfgo
warn down due the regular season, playing in forty three
forty four minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, regular season. That's why they don't because in the playoffs,
he continues.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's not like it stops in the playoffs, you know,
what I mean, he only got a rotation of seven
eight guys and you ain't got really that's in the
real season. He might cutting that down to six and
the posts. You know, all they guys are pretty average.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Today.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
They didn't have nobody who kind of you know, stepped
up and separated themselves to you know, baby pool is
win off. But uh this so I think this from
going seven man, and I got Detroit pulling out of seven.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. You gotta get truit winning
this room. Joe Man, you know that the Knicks is
not gonna lose this.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I know they they scawned tonight. This and the Knicks
had what thirteen turnovers? They missed eleven eleven free throws
nigga Jaylen brust in the car into the town They
were nine nine for thirty, you know, shooting Knight. Brunton
only scoring sixteen. I think what Towns had Towns has seventeen.
I think it was more so the turnovers, even though
they barely lost. I don't think Jamie Brunston has another
(18:28):
game like this. He never had another game like this.
This was the down game for him, you know, scoring, scoring,
seventeen sixteen to night. But I don't, I don't. I
don't see I don't see them losing this game. I mean,
excuse me losing this series. You know, it was just
a bad Nights to night. It was a bad time
and they look wow down to me.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm gonna be honest with you and to play another
guy to go back to Detroit now and played playing
Detroit travel all.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I think they I think Detroit doing what.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
They want as far as wearing them down, you know,
making this the long series is all. It's gonna be
in Detroit's favor. Yeah, if you look at the bench,
Shrewd is coming in giving him great minutes. Nahlite Beasley
is giving them tremendous binness. Now had twenty six bench points.
They outscored him on the bench six nineteen. So they
(19:17):
outscored they outscored him twenty six to nineteen on the bench.
And you see the difference in the ball game. But
I think when Shrewder comes in, he does a great job.
He gets Ky Cunningham off the ball, he's making timely shots,
he's destribbing the ball.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Malik Beasley's coming in making some timely threes. I love.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm Sue Thompson. I love the way he play. He's pressed,
he could pay, and he's a two way player. He
can pick him up full court. Hey, he can put
the ball on the floor, get to the rim. He's
rebounding at this stage.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
JB.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Bickerstaff has done an unbelievable job with this team, and
you can see why he was in the running for
Coach of the Year. I get Kenny Atkinson one. I
got no problem with that. They were the best team
in the East. Record wives will start to finish. But
what JB. Bickerstaff has done with this team and to
get them into the sixth seed and get them in
(20:05):
a situation where they can possibly get out of the
first round, he's done a heck of a job and
he should be commended because these young guys, now they
give one more piece. I still believe they're a piece
away from truly truly contending.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But they got some young guys.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What they got forty five rebounds, They got out rebounding
a little bit because but you know, you've got a
seventh foot cat, you got a six eleven seven foot
Mitchell Robinson, and they just got the one big But
give those guys credit. I thought they were gritted and
even though when the Knicks went on that run and
passed them up, that's a young team on the road
and they keep it together. They kept their boys, and
they ended up coming back going their own run, take
(20:43):
the lead, lead and never look back. They were special, man,
they were special. You're gonna have to give you know,
you're gonna have to look out for Detroit. Give them credit.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I don't think k didn't played a great game.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He was six to seventeen from the field, but for
the most part, you know, he controlled the game.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I love is aggression. Yeah, twelve three.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Throws, made eleven of them, so it lets me know,
you know, he ain't just selling for Joe the Cup.
But yeah, like you said, the Thompson kid eight for ten,
you know, him getting to the line. He was six
for twelve from the line. But he's being aggressive as well.
So you know, Detroit has enough to advance out this series.
They just got to be poor as impatient, you know,
(21:23):
especially down the stretch in closing these games.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hold on, that's the difference.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Hold hey, you hold on, man, Because this is the
second time I heard Joe say this, and not only
you saying that Detroit are gonna close this series out
in seven. But you're saying it with confidence, Like how
much do you really believe in the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I'm just curing I believe. I believe in them a lot. Oh, Joe,
They're young, they ready for the moment. They understand the moment.
I mean they didn't win in the uh, they didn't
win in the garden and won two games.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Bro, I mean we talked, we talked about we talk
about big Body Brunson, right, Karl, Anthony Town, Josh Heart, Yeah,
you show you show about that boy.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
The boys nice, they played hard. I like it, but
I think they run now. I'm gonna be honest with you, man, Okay, well.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I'm saying you you you're willing to put some money
on that? Man. I know you still Oh Man, I
don't even know if I ain't no brother, he still do.
Speaker 2 (22:17):

but it's hard for me to bet with your brother.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Hey, listen, listen. I play tennis on the big court.
My letter movee is phenomenal. It's like I'm still twenty
two years old. Right, But then you think about pickleball.
The court is so small, so it takes me to
get from one end to the other if I'm playing
solo in like three steps. Yeah, so my my short
my short area quickness is still there.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Nothing it's really changed.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm still I still got I'm still real twitchy, So

But most people, most people want you. Most people take

Speaker 3 (25:21):
No, ain't no, no, no, cause that sounds that sounds
like it costs too much.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I drive. I can get a rent car for sixty dollars.
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
If you've got a house in the Hampter, you're not
worried about no Coster helicopter.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You probably owned the helicopters.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And on the way we time on time, I hold it.
The Hampter is like for the risk folk. Huh, yes, Joe,
you got you got a house. I got some people
over there. I know some people who know some people.
You know what I'm saying, Like we're good.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Like like rich like rich people. Huh, I know some people.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yo, Hey, you know you don't have plenty of room.
We got some room now you know y'all can come
down to have Yeah. Yeah, I mean when it when it? Hey,
I is in June.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
When is it? I'm gonna get y'all to date. I'm
gonna send y'all to date.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
So I'm gonna asking you, y'all, a hey, I need,
I need, I need a place I can let my
hair down, I can relax it laughing.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh Joe, when he go out there at the ball,
he let me.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Oh no, now you know I know the place. Hey, Joe,
Ping Pong, Ping Pong. I'm the Liberty City Ping Pong
champ and over town too. I'm Pink, I'm hem, I'moe.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Who you think they call to train the Asian to
play table tennis?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh Joe, here, you're god. Wait. Oh oh, you can't
play no table tennis.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
You can't even see you wear glasses. Hey, hey, hey,
chat chat, do me favorite chat? Y'all send Joe on
Twitter and instagrams. Send him some clips of me playing
tennis so he understand is how good I am?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All right? Okay, all right, yeah yeah, pickle ball, you
ain't good.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
But I like Joe. I agree with you. I think
it's gonna be a seven game series. I do think.
I think the Piston is gonna tie this thing up
three to three and they're gonna come back.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Now, this is not gonna be a good look.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
For the for the Knicks that they lose this series,
because remember they had to lead on on the last year,
they had to lead on the Pacers, and the Pacers
win Game six and then they go in the Knicks
and go into Game seven and they blow them out
on their home court. All know, Tips lose this, what
might be you might be in trouble on be in
the hot season. But yeah, that's that's just my good feeling.
(27:29):
I like, how to piss us playing. Look, every game
you ain't gonna win.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Every game is not gonna be pretty. You gotta win
some ugly games, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, yeah, I think tonight was one of those ugly
games that they ended up pulling out. And that ain't nothing,
but you know, more experience for their young team over there,
especially on the old It's one thing to win a
close game at home, but you go on the road
into a hostile environment.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
We go understand what Madison Square MSG.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
We understand what that is, and that's a gritty team
the Knicks, and to go in there and get a
hard fought victory. Pistols got a lot of confidence. The
Celtics blows out the Magic Game five. Jason Tatum was
sensational thirty five points, eight rebounds, ten assists. Celtics are
seventy one all time in the playoffs when they record
when he records ten of sis Jason tATu's last three game,
(28:15):
he went thirty five, eight and ten, thirty seven, fourteen
and three, thirty six, nine and four. He's playing like that,
and then you got Jaylen Brown gave you twenty three
or six.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's gonna be stopping. Hey, hey, you know and Joe,
it's it's almost unfailing. Yeah, it's over. Yeah, it's almost unfair.
Just watching him. I think about fair play when it
comes to salary.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Cap and and it's like, how do you have all
these players? Not only do you have all these players
that are good, not not just just starting five. The
goddamn bench comes in, Princes Sam Houser. Yeah, and they
don't miss a beat. Obviously, the game of basketball is
a game of runs. But you don't feel bad about
subvn or having people coming in and out the game
(29:03):
because you understand what you're getting. Once your starters go out.
It's it's unfair, and I hate to jump the gun,
but I'm sure it's fair for me to be able
to say, and I'm sure the chat would agree with
me that the celsius A probably gona end up win
the NBA Championship again. And if they keep if they
keep it, if they keep the same squad together, there's
a chance they win.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That montherfucker getting next year too. It's possible. It's possible.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
The guys coming off the bench, Man, they barely misshot tonight.
I mean, they weren't playing with Orlando. They was ready
to close, man, Orlando had to lead, and next thing
I know, they're down by twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
I was like, what got?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, hey, I couldn't get the game. So I'm watching,
I'm watching it on my phone and you know the thing,
it don't go. So you know I forgot. Did I
hate the little back arrow Joe that ding Orlando need
a Uh they need a point guard over there with
Ben Carro and Wagner. Yeah, they need to do They
(30:03):
need over there Jaylen Suggs and Dorman pink guard. I
don't know why they didn't play cold.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I don't know. Cole Anthony might have been hurt, hurt, but.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I think decent minutes he gave him some decent minutes.
Uh not a enough go. But I'm saying that he
didn't play a whole lot in the series. He played
this It seemed like he played this game out of desperation.
You know what I'm saying. It's like, lad, let's let's
throw all we got because he ain't been playing on
the red because I watched him, like, well, Dad, what's sugs?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I know?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Excuse me, Cole Anthony slugs that is nicked currently.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Jaylen Brown had twenty three points, six rebounds. Boston has
won sixteenth straight playoff games when he scored twenty or
more points.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That's crazy, man.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
They got two d of Marster because think about it. No, Uh,
you got J T and JB. You got Derrick White
that can give the solid twenty. You got for Zingers
that can give you twenty. You got Holiday that's gonna
play on both days of the court and can give
you somewhere twelve sixteen. Uh, Al Horford, Big Al Andy,
he gonna play outstanding defense. He's gonna rebound for you.
(31:05):
He shot, you know, can give you double digits. Then
you get Peyton Princey coming off the bench. You get
Cole Houser coming off the bench. They got a Cordnet.
They got a bunch of guys chipping in, man, a
bunch of guys chipping in.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's that championship pedigree.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They know, they rose, They played to the t they
starting as it's gonna be tough to beat them in
a seven game series.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay, who you are? J. J.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Reddick said for tigue wasn't a factor in the Lakers
lost Sunday night. Reddick became the first coach to use
the same five for an entire half of game since
at least nineteen ninety eight, as far back as substitution
tracking goals. JJ said, today, our two best players miss
lay up at the rim, and I don't think they
miss left because they were tired. I spoke to everyone
yesterday they would have potentially played the second half, uh,
(31:50):
and they all understood there was no issue with that.
LA has been outscored one oh five to sixty nine
in the fourth quarter of this series. They're shooting twenty
five cent eight of thirty two percent. Hey, that's what
t yes.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Hey the famous phrase when you play sports, the tigue
makes it makes a fool of us.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
All, make cowards of us all. But yeah, yeah, that
that that that that too.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Easy layups, easy lay up, easy lay up layups.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That's fatigue.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Lack of concentration, lack of focus on one of the
easiest shots to make, that's fatigue.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yes, come on, man, hey, come on, come on Jay Lebron.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Look, I don't care what Lebron says. I don't care
what he says. He's playing. He played forty six minutes
on forty year old legs. There's a reason why he
only took two shots. He had zero points in the
fourth quarter. He was exhaust And it's physical. Luca played
for Yes, because you got to bang Julius Randall. You
got to chase somebody. It's not like you just standing
(32:54):
out there like hey, traffic cop right right. You see
a man out there taking the challenge. They have the
whole shoving match out there.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That takes energy. Bro to do that.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
You know, he ain't just walk down to the block,
catch it on your spot and get comfortable.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
He fighting.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
And then if you fight me down to this spot,
by the time you get the ball, you're gonna be
a little exhausted.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
And that's the whole playing that wrestling ram down.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Man, you can't play no whole half of no NBA basketball,
playoff basketball, and don't think with that intensity, with the focus,
that's stretch. Yeah, that I'll say that definitely was fatigue
for me. I mean I just seen careless mistake for sure,
you know, careless mistakes.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And what were they? What was he supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Of course you're not gonna say fatigue because you allow
those guys to play that many minutes, so that would
make you look bad. Of course you're not gonna say fatigue.
What part of it? Because it was your decision. I disagree.
I think most people would disagree with you that fatigue
was an issue.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
There's a if. If fatigue wasn't an issue, team would.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Be playing the guy's forty for twenty four minutes in
the second half all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Nobody does that. Yeah, nobody does that for him.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
But listen, but listen, hey, uncle Joe. Nobody does that
for a reason. But in the Lakers situation, they don't
have a choice but to do it.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
This doesn't happen. They even have a chance. They got
six points from the bench.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
They got six points from the bitch, and theoretically wasn't
a bitch because Phinney Smith played the entire second half.
So the problem that they're running into is that Minnesota
is able to play Rudy Gobert for twenty minutes, they
can't play Jackson Hayes, but for six. So now you
bring Now you put Lebron at the five. Now he
has to bang Julius Randall or he has to you know,
(34:40):
so at some point in time, Gabe Vincent Jackson Hayes,
he lost all confidence in dun't connect because he doesn't
DALNK connect his DNP coaching decision. And he might get
help him by spacing the poor and knocking down some three.
But he can't remember his defensive assignment. He can't remember
the rotation of what he's supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Do I head? Do I go with the road? What
do I do? Do I do?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And I think so jj I think it's a lot
of pressure on the perimeter guys. To Austin Reeves Luke, Yeah,
it's a lot of pressure on them, not only the score,
but to defend. Let me tell you something, in this atmosphere,
playoff atmosphere, if you can't guard the first dribble or
two to get to give yourself some time to where
(35:22):
we can at least get eyes on the man or
give you a little help. Then when you're getting beat
off the first move. Oo, man, we can't get help
there fast enough to help you.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Man.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Look they getting in the paint, they get in the
teeth igh defense and doing whatever they want because look
they get past the guards, our back line defenses brun
and during Finnish smill and yeah yeah, and then like
you know, you have no you have no rem protection,
you know you you and scramble mode every defensive possession
(35:53):
and it's just tough me.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
It's just gonna be hard for him to win. I
think the size.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
That that the Timberwolves have, they taken advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I agree with you, Joe.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I think the thing here is what's happening is that
first of all, Luca can't stop nobody at the first dribble,
so they're getting around him. And so when you bring him,
guys getting and putting the guy that's in the dunker
spot of getting wind up shots and shoot around threeze.
So now and then add man ad man stick keeps
saying he keeps auster Reeves, or he keeps ruined, or
he keeps a Luca in the pick and roll. No,
(36:31):
I want him bring him to be and then they
letting him play one on one. You can't let ad
Man play one on one. He's a supremes killed one
on one player. You got to make him play team ball,
make somebody else beat you, especially just like tonight we
saw Jamal Burry get hot. He had forty three, just
like ant Man. And what happened They let him play
one on one. Okay, you let a guy get hot
(36:52):
and you let him play one on one. Sorry, I
think what has happened is by them trap trapping at
Man or kind of put him in this little cage
to you know, make him get a ball up.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
He's the right plays, okay, O.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Choe and them guys are making the Lakers pay, whether
it's McDaniels getting dunks or threes or Randall, you know,
making the right play when he catch at the free
throw line where he's attacking the basket because they ain't
got no REMP protection and he's getting to the lines
shooting free throws or whatever he wants. And then in
the fourth quarter, when a man see he know he
can beat the double team anytime he wants, he starts
(37:27):
beating the double team and he starts putting the on
this on the Lakers as far as getting in the paint,
making plays, shooting the threes, and now he can't stop that.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
But there's the thing, though, Joe.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Is that if you go back and look at Sunday's game,
he's raising up, shooting three, just happy to even get
the ball out of his hand.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
See, I want to make, guys, I would have make.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Let's see if McDaniel can make those plays in the
fourth quarter with five minutes to go. I know a
man can beat me and man and man. He's one
of the five or six great best players in the NBA,
so I know what he's more than capble of doing. Right, Okay,
let's see. Let's see what you got, Josh mc j mcdainey.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You got that. I think I think he can do it.
He's he's shown this, he's shown and proving this series
that while going to see it again in there, I
want to see it.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I want you open that. Man gonna be confident. He's
gonna take these shots. He's gonna attack the basket. I
think defensively, when he plays great defense, he kind of
fuels his offense, you know what I mean. I think
that's kind of all of them and if you notice Minnesota,
they guard. They don't give up a lot of the
easy points. I know Lucas can going to run, I
know ar can get hot, but for the most part
they sit down and guard.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Man, they sitting down the guard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
But see the difference is is that Luka is shooting
over the top. Those guys are breaking you down getting
to the basket. There's a difference. Hey, look, there's a
greater chance that you're gonna miss that twenty seven twenty
eight for the that me missing this this layup. Yeah, yeah,
because you see what's happening and is finishing at the
(38:54):
rim or the folity.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
They ain't got no tub gods finish. We really don't have.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I mean, Luca can beat you off the dribble, but
it's not it's because of sabbiness.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
He ain't gonna just here you just out and buy you.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
He's gonna hurky jerky, you know, he gonna sit down
on your he go your pay step through you off
the glass and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
We got this tomorrow night, though, whoa what here we
here we go, here we go and.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Get this tomorrow night, don't Joe, So hold on, hold on,
you said, Lakers in five, right, So obviously that's not
that there's no chance for that.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So you still feel the Lakers have a chance to
win this series? Come on, you? Are you you really
believe that? Though I'm gonna ask seriously, No, I don't
believe that.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
He just going with it because he's been rolling with
him all all. Yeah, Hello, hello, Jodan. You say we
ain't gonna win tomorrow night?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Nah? No, I don't got y'all win. I got Minnesota
coming in there.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I got them coming to Lilah, laying throwing the whole
party up and there in crypto.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
And you know what happened if y'all lose tomorrow? Right?
And none that Because we're not losing. I'm just saying,
do you know what's going to I'm hypothetically speaking, do
you know what hypotheticals?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I don't do hypotheticals. Hypothetically, if I slip in my garage,
I'll be a mayboll. But guess what hypothetical see you that?
If that's so, if you sleep in your garage, will
come No, Nah, you a fool because you should.

Speaker 2 (42:14):

expected cost of restoring, restoring and vandalized more depicting Kobe
and Gig Bryant in downtown LA. He made a donation
today to cover the entire goal of a god fund
Me page created by artists Louis Passino. He wants to
restore a mural titled Mambas Forever at fourteenth and Main Street. Luca,
(42:37):
It's always been important to give back to the community.
They gave me so much, so I just want they
messed the mule up. I don't know why come all.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
People and they playing listen many and they don't respect nothing.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
You don't even care no more about nothing.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I thought, y'all, I thought they did me.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Look, no matter no matter how the love or great
you were, somebody is not gonna take it.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Somebody.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Everybody don't everybody don't like everybody. Yeah, so you we
just got to come to that conclusion. Like man, Kobe, Yeah,
most people do like Kobe. Ninety percent of the people
in l A love Kobe. But it ain't gonna be
There's never a such a situation where it's all or
every Yeah. So once you remove all of every from
(43:22):
your vocabulary.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Right, you be good. I just they're just thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Man. Obviously the past is one of the greatest ever
played the game. And the tragic passing, Yeah, the tragic passing.
But the even bothers a mural with great understanding what
Kobe means for that that city, what he's done for
the Lakers organization and the people of l A. They
even want to vandalize a mural is beyond me. Beyond me, damn.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
It's more.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
It says more about them than than I mean. I mean,
think about what it takes to go bad. Yeah, you
ain't got nothing going on this to be just I
don't know. Yeah, you do to destroy some property that
ain't that that that you didn't buy, that you did
is not yours.

wrong day and they gonna be viral.
Speaker 1 (44:30):

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Kobe Stefane Castle is the recipient of the Wilt Chamberlain
Trophy the twenty twenty five here NBA Rookie of the
Year first and one back to back for m VP's
Castle twenty five victor women Yama UH twenty four. And
they're the first teammates to go back to back since
you know with Ojoe, who's the last teammates to go
(44:53):
back to back back to back uh rook at Rookie
of the Year, Damn Andrew Wiggins and Carlin No word,
don't turn your head. You turn your head the other way.
It's still gonna be correct. They got they got a
(45:15):
promise in future.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
You know they can't. He gets some hang over there.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
They're gonna be a highest because when you cause think
about it, you know, big Ud Spurs. I mean Winby wanted,
Castles not wanted, David Robinson wanted, Tim Duncan wanted.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
So they've had for a rookie.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Ay, and then by two years Winby might be the
best thing in the league.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
He he incredible. I mean for me, he shoots a
little bit too many threads.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
For me, I was like, hey, get your big, long,
tall butt died on that block. You turn over one
of your shoulders. But hey, that's that's where that's where
these guys are. According to they have been whispers around
the league that the San Antonio Spurs could be a
potential Atlantic spot for one Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
You like Wimby and KD together, I do? I do.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
It looked like he going somewhere in Texas, but I
would love to see k KD and women.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Oh Niko has to go. Try to make a move
for him and die. Yeah, yep. I don't know what
he I don't know what he I don't know if where.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
In terms of draft picks, now we know he got
one of the one of the Lakers draft picks. I
don't know if that's enough. I don't know if the
Spurs won't that draft pick and one of those bigs Lively,
a Gafford or somebody else, because he's really what he
wants to compare. He wants to pay a Kyrie a D.
But Phoenix, Phoenix w won't try to trade him. It
(46:41):
wasn't like he asked for no trade KD. No, they
probably they'd probably be willing to, you know, do something.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I can't see him.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
I can't see him not trading him, you know what
I mean, they probably gonna get actually what they want,
but they probably get some No, you're.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Not gonna get what you gave up for all those
draft picks. And they gave up, they gave up move
I say they gave up draft picks.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
You know, they gave of Michael Bridges and Cam Johnson
and they get and they probably I think they gave
up like four first round picks. Three or four first
round picks. Ain't didn't work out. But you said, you
know what, we're gonna win the championship. That's gonna be
the last pick in the draft. YadA, YadA, YadA. I'm
not worried about it.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
What happens when you don't you don't even make the playoffs,
and what you could get to rebuild that goes to
somebody else. No, I oh, you know what I'm saying.
I buy all these blocks and yeah, man, my house
gonna be so nice. But I get this thing. They're like, no, no, no, no,
no no. The blocks that you just bought, they belong
to me. Let me gonna get those. Let me go
(47:42):
get those pieces that you was gonna build your house
win now, let.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Me get that. I still I still like Katie.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
I still like Katie going to Okay see now, I'm
not sure how far okay See goes. I don't believe
you're going in the playoffs. I just say I think
I think the pairing of him Sam.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Presty Sam prest is like, nah, that's that's that's not
going on. You didn't tell me because look they look
at that. It like hold on, bro, if you talk,
if we knew you was gonna live, because think about it,
a lot of times when you have a great player,
you want to trade. If he know he leaving, I'm
gonna trade you because I'm gonna get some compensation. KD
walked down the door and then they ain't get nothing
for him. Yeah, think about what you could have got
(48:17):
for KD six years ago, six, five, six first round picks.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
He walked out the door and you got nothing.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, yeah, and they were able to rebuild it. A
lot of that had to do with Shay because think
about what the Clippers gave up to get Paul George.
Think about what the Rockets gave up to get Russ.
They traded Chris Paul, so they just and Sam. You
could say whatever you want about Sam Presty. He did
(48:47):
draft d he did draft Russ. He did draft Harden Obaca,
Reggie Jackson, Steven Adams, Jaylen Williams. Although all those chand Hogan,
all those guys. He made the trade for shape. He
could put it at talent. He got a great aft
(49:07):
of talent. I don't see that your uh no, I
just I see okay, see doing really well in this
playoffs this year?
Speaker 1 (49:17):
All right, okay, what's you go ahead? Don't your finishing.
I was just gonna say what you think about KT
coming to Miami with Joah and
Host
Shannon Sharpe
