diamond experts since nineteen eighty one. And now here are
your hosts, Dante Marcitelli and Jake Chapman.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And welcome everyone to Magic Insiders.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We are presented by International Diamond Center Dante Marcitelli Jake Chapman.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Here in the Magic.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
One Day Closer Game two comes your way tomorrow six
thirty right here on ninety six to nine in the
game and we get to get back into the action
here on FanDuel Sports Network. We'll have it for you
myself and Brian Hill. We'll have the pregame show six
thirty on FanDuel Sports Network, And Jake, I tell you what,
you know, you got that first game off and run,
and I expect to have as many butterflies going in
(01:18):
the game two as you probably did going into game one. Right,
all the excitement of the playoffs, and we finally get
a little bit of a taste of it here tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, game one, you have all that time off.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I almost felt feel in going back to last year
is kind of the same thing going in the cabstis
there's just a flood of information.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've just overwhelmed.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I've got notes in three different word documents over two
different computers, right and so, and you just dive in
so much to the opponent and you try to figure
out weaknesses, and then forty eight minutes of basketball happens
and the story gets completely retold. Right.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
And So I did not think we would.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Turn the ball over as much as we did in
Game one against that Boston team. I think that's one
area you obviously look to clean up. But I'm I'm
I'm cautiously optimistic, just knowing going into game two that
even if you lose that the series quote unquote has
not begun yet.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yes, the old gotta win a game on the on
the away floor.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
And so I think coming back home this weekend, I
like our chances to be sure. And then again, it
feels like I'm playing with house money tomorrow. You know,
nobody really expects you to win. You're certainly not out
of the series. If you lose, go in there and
see if you can shock the world. And then if
you come back to Orlando with a one to one season,
with a one to one series tie, then all of
(02:33):
a suddenly Pretcher's back on the shoulders of the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, there's no one that's going to be in that
building tomorrow cheering for the Celtics that thinks there's a
chance for the Orlando Magic. So that's true, that's what
you want, right, So you could go in there and
shock the world. You say the series doesn't begin until
the home team loses a game, Well, we got two
series that officially started last night. Jay, Wow, we got
two series. I don't think better than playoff basketball. I mean,
I love the drama of overtime hockey and all that.
(02:59):
There's nothing quite like an overtime hockey session right with
the game on the line, sudden death, overtime, things like that.
But NBA basketball is just incredible, and Kawhi Leonard took
things to another level.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I watched him. I watched him for the first.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Five minutes of that game, and I said, this is
twenty nineteen, Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
There's no ways losing this game.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I didn't stay up till the end of it, but
I was not shocked when I saw the outcome. Right,
So you have the first game that Detroit Pistons stunned
the Knicks one hundred to ninety four. You get thirty
three points from Kate Cunningham and they survived thirty seven
points from Jalen Brunson. And then the nightcap was the
LA Clippers one O five, one to oh two over
the Denver Nuggets. Thirty nine points for Kawhi Leonard, twenty
six points, twelve rebounds, ten assists for Nikola Jokic, and
(03:40):
both of those series now are tied at one game apiece.
Going back to LA, going back to Detroit, Jacob gonna
start with the first game. Burn the boats, Burn the boats.
The Detroit Pistons are winning that series. I don't see
I think they are in New York's head. This is
what I have been saying the entire year.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
In my head.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The addition of Dennish didn't seem like a huge move.
They surrounded themselves with the right veterans, and then at
the deadline they made a move. They made a move
to bring in Dennis Shreuter, and it didn't seem like much.
It was like his eleventh team this year. But I
just felt like, when you have a guy like that,
you have veterans that are gonna help you in playoff
(04:19):
situations and are gonna help you win a game. And
that's what Dennis Shuter did last night. They don't have
Dennis Shuter, they don't win that game. They needed somebody
to make a shot that went five minutes without a
field goal. Dennis Shuter hits the game winning three, and
they're up by twelve with about seven minutes left, and
next thing you know, we're tied with about a minute
and change and then Dennis Shrudter hits the three with
(04:39):
under a minute to go. It was huge, It was huge.
So that was enormous. Kate Cunningham looks like a star.
He's looked like a star of the entire year. You're
getting nothing from Karl Anthony Towns, right. So in New
York there are all the questions. Do we move forward
with Tom Thibodeau. Tom Thibodeau's upset that Jalen Bronson isn't
getting the same foul calls that Kate Cunningham is getting.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
This is where we're at, right, this is now.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The free throw discrepancy was crazy going into the final
six minutes. I think Detroit had shot almost twenty more
free throws than New York and even itself out a
little bit in the fourth quarter. But your thoughts on
that series. That's a big win in my opinion for Detroit.
And I don't think New York is ready for what
you know more than I do.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right, Well, that was one of your stops in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That team, that city is starved for Pistons basketball success,
and I would guess you tell me when New York
goes in there to play Game three, they have no
idea what they're in for.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I think you're right. I think that place is going
to be electric. It's the Pistons first playoff win since
when I.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Think eight oh nine or something. Like that, like fifteen
years since they won a playoff game.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
We went to the playoffs, so one of the seasons
that I was there with Stan fifteen sixteen, but the
Cavs smacked the Pistons in round one of that series,
and then they went one more time with Blake Griffin
a couple of years ago and it was the same scenario.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So no, everybody's on board in Detroit.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Look, I don't I still don't know exactly how to
read that series, because you're right, Karl Anthony Towns, I mean,
Karl Anthony ghost Town last night, like he even there.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Pretty good. Yeah, I'll workshopp in a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
He took the whole second half off the I mean,
you make the move for this guy, and you really
put a lot of eggs in that basket, not for
thirty three minutes, five of eleven from the field, ten
point six rebounds, Like what is he doing? And I
understand and you and I both sort of saw this coming.
Karl Anthony Towns. I just don't think he's like about
that to be going toe to toe as the starting center.
(06:34):
He's one of these centers who might need a center
next to him, right.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Anthony Anthony Davis.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, especially when he's playing a team it's got Jalen Duran.
They didn't even have Isaiah Stewart last night. He's the
one who really brings the pain. But you're right, and
you were You're also right that you called it Dennis Shrewder.
He made the difference last night. He has made the
difference for Detroit, especially offensively, and he you know, his
defense has been really good too.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
When he's locked in the hell of a player like
he's a winner.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's a second it's a second unit veteran that both
those that that just calms down those young guys. He's
our Corey Joseph right, he just yeah, but we don't
need offense out of Corey, but Dennis schuer can get
you offense. And that I just thought that was a
mass that and Tobias Harris does just enough right, and
they're veteran in your surviving I did not anticipate this
from you called it with Tim Hardaway, Junr. I did
(07:23):
not anticipate this. I thought he would. I thought he
would be massive against his former team. Wow, you had
as many threes as he did, I mean as unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Well, he's got like six former teams at this point.
He I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
It's he's out there to space before and he didn't
do that last night.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But they didn't need him to last night. He look
and they got good minutes from from B ball.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Paul.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
We got to give a shout out to Paul Reid
from Akaiva High School. Popkin APK stand up. He played
really well. It's that series is really interesting. I still
think because Dante Detroit has played so well in both.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Of these games, and granted they were on the road,
but the Knicks. They couldn't turn the Knicks away last night.
It took a shrewd, really tough shot. No talk about
the onions to step into that shot.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But don't you think that's a young that's a young team,
Like that's what you know, that's what young teams are.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You put the ball in Kate Cunningham's hands.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He was terrified. You made a bounce pass to Duran right.
Jalen Duran terrified, right, stonehands, stonehands for seven straight minutes.
Jalen duraan down the stretch right, didn't want to catch anything.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Every every it wasn't even on the floor because he
filed out.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That guy after that unbelievable step back jumper, a five
foot step back jumper that.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Went three feet.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, their young guys were terrified in that fourth quarter,
as they should be. Will he easily decided this is
going to be the time I'm not going to make.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
A three, right.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I think he's I think he's going to have seven
threes a.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Game when you go back to Detroit.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But but you survived, Jake because that veteran got so
now they got the confidence of okay, we got through that,
now we can now you're on your home floor.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I just think that changes the whole series.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I see Detroit getting Game three, and then New York
may be figuring out a way to get Game four.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Think absolutely, I could see that's.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Gonna be a a long series. And I think, I mean,
you want to talk about good basketball about game two?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I fell asleep when Kawhi had only missed one shot.
I think he missed four shots. I'm gonna at the
end of the night, if they've got if they've got
twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen, if they've got healthy, effective Kawhi Leonard,
it's easily a championship team. But we've seen close up
what the Clippers team can do defensively. But now, all
of a sudden, you've got two tough shot makers and
(09:24):
be called three if you include Powell to boost you offensively.
They went and got Bogdanovich at the trade deadline. You
know he's going to win maybe or lose them a
playoff game at some point.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
That's a pretty tough team. But Denver, you know, Denver's
Denver ring right now. And that was I know, that's
an amazing, amazing matchup, and I could see that thing
going seven. That series gonomcided by a jumper one way
or the other.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, to me, that's why it was huge that Denver
got home court. They won that last game of the year,
they got fourth and now and now they gave it away.
They gave it away with that win against the La Clippers.
So you said it the Detroit Pistons, that's their first
playoff win. You actually got to go all the way
back to seven eight, So it's seven o eight when
they went to the Eastern Conference finals. That's their first
playoff win. That's the last time they went. That's the
(10:12):
last time they won a playoff series seven eight. In
the Magic, you're gotta go back all the way to
nine to ten, last time they won a playoff series.
So it's been a while for these organizations. But what's
different since the Pistons last won a playoff game?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
JB.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Bickerstaff is their eighth coach, so seven eight, he is
their eighth coach since then. Right, So you got to
go back to Flip Saunders. Rest in peace. Flip Sonders
the last Piston coach to win a playoff series and
to win a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
So good things there. When we came back, we'll take.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
A closer look at that La Clipper Denver Nuggets series
because I'm with you, Jake. I am riveted by that,
but I'm in I saw what the Pistons did last night.
They did everything they could to cough it away, cough
it up, and still didn't lose. So I think they
go back home and I think they win that series.
But that's just me, that's just me. Well, uh, New
York wins Game three, and I'll come in and this
and this conversation never happened. You're Lanta Magic or the
(11:06):
twenty twenty five NBA Playoffs, and we need everybody in

Visitclip dot com to learn more.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
And Jake. My call the game was at.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
About about ten fifteen last night when I saw Kawhi
make those first two shots, and I said, he's not
letting him lose this game. There is something about Kawhi
Leonard when he's healthy and he's playing like this new Listen.
I'm not the biggest fan of what Kawhi Leonard has
done in his career to this point. Right, I'll be
the first one to say this guy is a hired gun.
(12:36):
He's a mercenary.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
He got traded to Toronto even though they want a championship.
He wanted nothing to do with being there or embracing
that city. He wanted to get onto La right, and
he did by all means necessary. And then you got
to bring in Paul George, so it forced them to
tell me there's a lot that happened there that I'm
not a fan of. Sitting out missing games. Could play,
can't play, but you can't deny the talent and when
(12:58):
the guy is right, and when the guy wants to play,
and when the guy is locked in. That's what we
saw last night, and that was beyond impressive. And the
one thing that I do like in this day and
age Jake, where everybody's flopping and they've been shot by
a dart gun and they're dropping like crazy, and all
the foul hunting that we've seen in the playoffs and
we've seen every year, he doesn't complain. That guy you
(13:19):
call a foul on him, he doesn't say a thing.
Or if he thinks he got fouled and they don't
call it, he doesn't say a thing. And I do
like that when I watched Kawhi Leonard. But it was
a masterclass last night. Thirty nine points and a big
win on the road in Denver.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yeah, it's really interesting to me. I could probably do
an hour on it. How will he remember Kawhi Leonard
ten fifteen years from now?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
What will his legacy be? Because he's certainly one of
the most effective players we've ever seen. He sort of
is the poster child for better or worse for load management.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Some of that I think is a little unfair because
the guy has lost entire seasons of his career.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
To injuries, right, Like, yes, yes, you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Know it's not a naggy ankle that's keeping him out
for a couple of weeks at a time. He's had
some pretty serious structural injuries. But as you said, like
at this point in his career and you know, he's
he's getting on as far as the years go, thirty
three years old and a couple of pretty major injuries
behind him.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
When he's right, he's still as good as just about.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Anybody, and he still brings it defensively he always has.
He's he's so interesting to watch because when he gets
that those jumpers going to step backs, he's got that
line drive delivery, and it's almost like just like he's
punching the in the gut every time he hits one
of those step back line drive jumpers, Yes, and it
just you know, kicks in off the back of the rim.
He's he was spectacular last night. You're right, you could
(14:42):
tell earlier it was gonna be one of those nights.
And that really is like the Clippers are a really
good team and we're able to forge an identity sort
of without him, Which is going back to when the
year Toronto won the title, it was sort of the
same thing. They had a group of guys that were
comfortable with Lowry and all these guys, and then when
they threw Kawhi on top, it was like, Okay, it's
now we can hang with anybody in the league. Feels
(15:04):
like the Clippers sort of built their identity and now
Kawhi just slides in and he's like, oh, by the way,
here's thirty nine points on fifteen or nineteen from the field,
and some of the best perimeter defense as well.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's a really good team.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And when he is playing like that, they're you know,
they're I want to say, unbeatable.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But Denver was right there every step of the way
last night.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I mean you look across the floor and he got
the best player in the world getting a playoff.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Triple double, and that was it was right down to
the horn in Denver. But the Clippers steel won headed
back to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Now this week, I just I saw that up close
and personal in Toronto, and I saw that guy. I
saw that guy that would not be denied in that
series in twenty nineteen, and he looked like that guy
last night. Now, we don't know if he has the
stamina to do it all the way through an NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
We didn't even know if he can get out of
this series.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We have no idea, but that Kawhi last night, that
guy doesn't lose, he shows up in game three, then
they're going to take control of the series.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Who knows. We'll see real.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Quick, Jacob, I want to fly through some of these
as we close out the show. But the Anonymous Athletic
poll has come out. One hundred and thirty seven players
anonymously voted on a number of categories. First of all,
do you like anonymous poles? Do you think somebody should
put a name to it? Or do you like Do
you like that the fact that they hide behind anonymity.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
No, I don't mind.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I honestly don't mind it in this context because it
gives us.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It gives us some interesting insight.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
You're asking questions that thought they will never answer if
they put their name on it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, nor should they, nor should they. But it is interesting.
Give credit to the Athletic. You can find it at
the Athletic dot com. And here's some of the questions.
So the first one, who is the MVP? One hundred
and fifty five votes were cast. One hundred and fifty
five votes. That's a pretty good sample size, overwhelming margin
fifty six percent, Shake Godess, Alexander thirty seven percent, Nicola Jokic,
and then you have less than two percent Giannis, Donovan,
(16:47):
Mitchell Lebron.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I think they got it right. You can't go wrong
this year.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Shaye's gonna win it because Jokichardi has three of them.
But if anybody voted for Jokiic, they wouldn't need to
explain themselves to me. He's the best player in the
world and these one of his best seasons ever.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Average a triple double used to be automatic at you
the MVP, and now it doesn't even get them in
the conversation. It gets them in the conversation, but it
doesn't even you know, it doesn't even keep them close. Okay,
which team other than your own will win a title
this season? One hundred and thirty seven votes were cast.
The Boston Celtics fifty seven point seven percent. That's what
you're up against for the Orlando Magic. Second is okay,
see at seventeen point five percent, and then you have Cleveland,
(17:25):
then the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Your thoughts on.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
That that's a pretty big that's a pretty big drop off.
Fifty it's an overwhelming majority think Boston is going to repeat.
And so to me, I go because I came away
from Game one going we got to have an almost
completely perfect sheet against this team to beat them four times,
that confirmed some of my fears. This is a really
good Boston team that sort of, you know, bided their
(17:49):
time in the regular season and they're ready to pounce.
For only seventeen percent of the players that think Oklahoma,
which is pretty clear cut the number two team in
the league and you know, won sixty eight games, they're
gonna win the championship.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
That's scary.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
That is scary that you cannot score on okac nobody can.
And to think that they don't even have a shot
compared to some players and how they feel, all right,
some of these start to get very interesting. Now, five
years from now, who will be the face of the
NBA overwhelming again, Victor Webbin Yama fifty four percent. We
anointed this guy since he was ten, since he was
ten years old and six foot nine, we have anointed
(18:23):
this guy as the face of the NBA, and one
hundred and thirty eight players unanimously voted for that as well.
Then you have Anthony Edwards. Then you got to drop
all the way down to six. Is Orlando's Polo Bancaro
at two point two percent, people think he will be
the face of the NBA. Your thoughts on Victor Webbin
Yama the overwhelming majority leader there.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, I understand it.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
He's he's delivered on expectations, and the expectations were through
the roof.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Did you see the.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Video of Paula that the NBA tweeted out of him
doing his warm up stretches and explaining how he does
his rubber bands and kind of yes, yes, I think
that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I thought it was really interesting.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I was like, I remember doing those doing those stretches
when I was in middle school.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I wonder if I could still do them.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
But I think getting his personality out there on a
national sort of platform a little bit is really helpful.
And every time the team goes back to the playoffs
and the dude has thirty six thirty.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Nine points, he's a step closer in that conversation.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, and I think once you start seeing it, he's
a trash talker too. He'll talk to anybody and I
think once that starts getting kind of like Anthony Edwards, right,
he's letting you know how he's torching you.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Paula does that too, And I think, once that gets
out there, this is my favorite one. I just get
a kick out of this. Who is the league's most
overrated player?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
And it's a list of guys that people in.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
The NBA don't like? Right, It's just they say, Okay,
here's the guys that I don't like. Here's the guys
that have either torched me on a buzzer beater, or
here's the guys that talk to me. Here's the guys
that make a bunch of noise to me. Those are
always the guys on this list. But I'll let you
guys decide. Tyrese Haliburton overwhelming league's most overrated player at
fourteen point four percent, I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I would disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But then you get Rudy Gobar, second, Trey Young, Jimmy Butler,
Bradley Beal, Draymond Green, Jahn Morant. Right, Like, tell, are
these guys most overrated or they or have we just
put together a list of people we don't like, because
that's who it seems to be Julius.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Randalls on this list.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Honesty, exception, honest, the exception. But there may be it's
only two percent. People may look at that and say, well,
you know, he's just long, right, there might be a
couple of knuckleheads that.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
You're I think that means one or two people voted
for him, right, Probably.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
One or two people.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
But you know, the other guys are guys that typically,
you know, NBA players have a problem with where somebody's
had had a beef with. And honestly, there's a lot
of names on there that NBA fans have problems with.
When you get to Trey Young, Jimmy Butler, Bradley Beal,
Draymond Green, Joel Embiid, I find interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Did you was it was this? You? Did you do this?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I put this together.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Perfect? The hell?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The Halliburton one caught me off guard, a little bity.
He does talk trash, but he but you know, it
feels like he's part of that sort of fraternity, like
he's yes, yes, you know, he's he's been an All
Star year in the year out.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
The Gobert one and the Trey Young win those do
not surprise me at all. Everybody hates Rudy Gobert. I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Once he got paid, once he got that salary, he
became the most overrated player.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yep, you're right. That's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
For this addition, a Magic Insiders presented by International Diamond Center.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Have a great night, everybody, Magic and Celtics Game two
tomorrow night.
You're listening to Magic Insiders with Dante Marketelli and Jake Chemman.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Step back over, Durrance shot us up, Carro drills in
and the foal change for a three point put.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Big time bag came fort headed.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Back the way, a steal by Franz Fondner to run out.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
The fog and get my to it.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Fronz Fagner and the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm like, this is your daily destination for all the
latest on the Orlando match.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Over and went down.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
Now back to Kalon, He's gonna try another three, take
out another.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
One forty seconds man Carol Jumper.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Whoo.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Magic Insiders is presented by International Diamond Center, your local
diamond experts since nineteen eighty one. And now here are
your hosts, Dante Marcitelli and Jake Chapman.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And welcome everyone to Magic Insiders.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We are presented by International Diamond Center Dante Marcitelli Jake Chapman.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Here in the Magic.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
One Day Closer Game two comes your way tomorrow six
thirty right here on ninety six to nine in the
game and we get to get back into the action
here on FanDuel Sports Network. We'll have it for you
myself and Brian Hill. We'll have the pregame show six
thirty on FanDuel Sports Network, And Jake, I tell you what,
you know, you got that first game off and run,
and I expect to have as many butterflies going in
(01:18):
the game two as you probably did going into game one. Right,
all the excitement of the playoffs, and we finally get
a little bit of a taste of it here tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, game one, you have all that time off.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I almost felt feel in going back to last year
is kind of the same thing going in the cabstis
there's just a flood of information.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've just overwhelmed.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I've got notes in three different word documents over two
different computers, right and so, and you just dive in
so much to the opponent and you try to figure
out weaknesses, and then forty eight minutes of basketball happens
and the story gets completely retold. Right.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
And So I did not think we would.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Turn the ball over as much as we did in
Game one against that Boston team. I think that's one
area you obviously look to clean up. But I'm I'm
I'm cautiously optimistic, just knowing going into game two that
even if you lose that the series quote unquote has
not begun yet.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yes, the old gotta win a game on the on
the away floor.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
And so I think coming back home this weekend, I
like our chances to be sure. And then again, it
feels like I'm playing with house money tomorrow. You know,
nobody really expects you to win. You're certainly not out
of the series. If you lose, go in there and
see if you can shock the world. And then if
you come back to Orlando with a one to one season,
with a one to one series tie, then all of
(02:33):
a suddenly Pretcher's back on the shoulders of the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, there's no one that's going to be in that
building tomorrow cheering for the Celtics that thinks there's a
chance for the Orlando Magic. So that's true, that's what
you want, right, So you could go in there and
shock the world. You say the series doesn't begin until
the home team loses a game, Well, we got two
series that officially started last night. Jay, Wow, we got
two series. I don't think better than playoff basketball. I mean,
I love the drama of overtime hockey and all that.
(02:59):
There's nothing quite like an overtime hockey session right with
the game on the line, sudden death, overtime, things like that.
But NBA basketball is just incredible, and Kawhi Leonard took
things to another level.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I watched him. I watched him for the first.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Five minutes of that game, and I said, this is
twenty nineteen, Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
There's no ways losing this game.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I didn't stay up till the end of it, but
I was not shocked when I saw the outcome. Right,
So you have the first game that Detroit Pistons stunned
the Knicks one hundred to ninety four. You get thirty
three points from Kate Cunningham and they survived thirty seven
points from Jalen Brunson. And then the nightcap was the
LA Clippers one O five, one to oh two over
the Denver Nuggets. Thirty nine points for Kawhi Leonard, twenty
six points, twelve rebounds, ten assists for Nikola Jokic, and
(03:40):
both of those series now are tied at one game apiece.
Going back to LA, going back to Detroit, Jacob gonna
start with the first game. Burn the boats, Burn the boats.
The Detroit Pistons are winning that series. I don't see
I think they are in New York's head. This is
what I have been saying the entire year.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
In my head.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The addition of Dennish didn't seem like a huge move.
They surrounded themselves with the right veterans, and then at
the deadline they made a move. They made a move
to bring in Dennis Shreuter, and it didn't seem like much.
It was like his eleventh team this year. But I
just felt like, when you have a guy like that,
you have veterans that are gonna help you in playoff
(04:19):
situations and are gonna help you win a game. And
that's what Dennis Shuter did last night. They don't have
Dennis Shuter, they don't win that game. They needed somebody
to make a shot that went five minutes without a
field goal. Dennis Shuter hits the game winning three, and
they're up by twelve with about seven minutes left, and
next thing you know, we're tied with about a minute
and change and then Dennis Shrudter hits the three with
(04:39):
under a minute to go. It was huge, It was huge.
So that was enormous. Kate Cunningham looks like a star.
He's looked like a star of the entire year. You're
getting nothing from Karl Anthony Towns, right. So in New
York there are all the questions. Do we move forward
with Tom Thibodeau. Tom Thibodeau's upset that Jalen Bronson isn't
getting the same foul calls that Kate Cunningham is getting.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
This is where we're at, right, this is now.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The free throw discrepancy was crazy going into the final
six minutes. I think Detroit had shot almost twenty more
free throws than New York and even itself out a
little bit in the fourth quarter. But your thoughts on
that series. That's a big win in my opinion for Detroit.
And I don't think New York is ready for what
you know more than I do.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right, Well, that was one of your stops in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That team, that city is starved for Pistons basketball success,
and I would guess you tell me when New York
goes in there to play Game three, they have no
idea what they're in for.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I think you're right. I think that place is going
to be electric. It's the Pistons first playoff win since
when I.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Think eight oh nine or something. Like that, like fifteen
years since they won a playoff game.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
We went to the playoffs, so one of the seasons
that I was there with Stan fifteen sixteen, but the
Cavs smacked the Pistons in round one of that series,
and then they went one more time with Blake Griffin
a couple of years ago and it was the same scenario.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So no, everybody's on board in Detroit.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Look, I don't I still don't know exactly how to
read that series, because you're right, Karl Anthony Towns, I mean,
Karl Anthony ghost Town last night, like he even there.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Pretty good. Yeah, I'll workshopp in a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
He took the whole second half off the I mean,
you make the move for this guy, and you really
put a lot of eggs in that basket, not for
thirty three minutes, five of eleven from the field, ten
point six rebounds, Like what is he doing? And I
understand and you and I both sort of saw this coming.
Karl Anthony Towns. I just don't think he's like about
that to be going toe to toe as the starting center.
(06:34):
He's one of these centers who might need a center
next to him, right.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Anthony Anthony Davis.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, especially when he's playing a team it's got Jalen Duran.
They didn't even have Isaiah Stewart last night. He's the
one who really brings the pain. But you're right, and
you were You're also right that you called it Dennis Shrewder.
He made the difference last night. He has made the
difference for Detroit, especially offensively, and he you know, his
defense has been really good too.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
When he's locked in the hell of a player like
he's a winner.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's a second it's a second unit veteran that both
those that that just calms down those young guys. He's
our Corey Joseph right, he just yeah, but we don't
need offense out of Corey, but Dennis schuer can get
you offense. And that I just thought that was a
mass that and Tobias Harris does just enough right, and
they're veteran in your surviving I did not anticipate this
from you called it with Tim Hardaway, Junr. I did
(07:23):
not anticipate this. I thought he would. I thought he
would be massive against his former team. Wow, you had
as many threes as he did, I mean as unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Well, he's got like six former teams at this point.
He I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
It's he's out there to space before and he didn't
do that last night.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But they didn't need him to last night. He look
and they got good minutes from from B ball.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Paul.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
We got to give a shout out to Paul Reid
from Akaiva High School. Popkin APK stand up. He played
really well. It's that series is really interesting. I still
think because Dante Detroit has played so well in both.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Of these games, and granted they were on the road,
but the Knicks. They couldn't turn the Knicks away last night.
It took a shrewd, really tough shot. No talk about
the onions to step into that shot.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But don't you think that's a young that's a young team,
Like that's what you know, that's what young teams are.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You put the ball in Kate Cunningham's hands.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He was terrified. You made a bounce pass to Duran right.
Jalen Duran terrified, right, stonehands, stonehands for seven straight minutes.
Jalen duraan down the stretch right, didn't want to catch anything.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Every every it wasn't even on the floor because he
filed out.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That guy after that unbelievable step back jumper, a five
foot step back jumper that.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Went three feet.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, their young guys were terrified in that fourth quarter,
as they should be. Will he easily decided this is
going to be the time I'm not going to make.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
A three, right.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I think he's I think he's going to have seven
threes a.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Game when you go back to Detroit.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But but you survived, Jake because that veteran got so
now they got the confidence of okay, we got through that,
now we can now you're on your home floor.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I just think that changes the whole series.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I see Detroit getting Game three, and then New York
may be figuring out a way to get Game four.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Think absolutely, I could see that's.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Gonna be a a long series. And I think, I mean,
you want to talk about good basketball about game two?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I fell asleep when Kawhi had only missed one shot.
I think he missed four shots. I'm gonna at the
end of the night, if they've got if they've got
twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen, if they've got healthy, effective Kawhi Leonard,
it's easily a championship team. But we've seen close up
what the Clippers team can do defensively. But now, all
of a sudden, you've got two tough shot makers and
(09:24):
be called three if you include Powell to boost you offensively.
They went and got Bogdanovich at the trade deadline. You
know he's going to win maybe or lose them a
playoff game at some point.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
That's a pretty tough team. But Denver, you know, Denver's
Denver ring right now. And that was I know, that's
an amazing, amazing matchup, and I could see that thing
going seven. That series gonomcided by a jumper one way
or the other.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, to me, that's why it was huge that Denver
got home court. They won that last game of the year,
they got fourth and now and now they gave it away.
They gave it away with that win against the La Clippers.
So you said it the Detroit Pistons, that's their first
playoff win. You actually got to go all the way
back to seven eight, So it's seven o eight when
they went to the Eastern Conference finals. That's their first
playoff win. That's the last time they went. That's the
(10:12):
last time they won a playoff series seven eight. In
the Magic, you're gotta go back all the way to
nine to ten, last time they won a playoff series.
So it's been a while for these organizations. But what's
different since the Pistons last won a playoff game?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
JB.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Bickerstaff is their eighth coach, so seven eight, he is
their eighth coach since then. Right, So you got to
go back to Flip Saunders. Rest in peace. Flip Sonders
the last Piston coach to win a playoff series and
to win a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
So good things there. When we came back, we'll take.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
A closer look at that La Clipper Denver Nuggets series
because I'm with you, Jake. I am riveted by that,
but I'm in I saw what the Pistons did last night.
They did everything they could to cough it away, cough
it up, and still didn't lose. So I think they
go back home and I think they win that series.
But that's just me, that's just me. Well, uh, New
York wins Game three, and I'll come in and this
and this conversation never happened. You're Lanta Magic or the
(11:06):
twenty twenty five NBA Playoffs, and we need everybody in
witness the action live at Kia Center. Is the Magic

Visitclip dot com to learn more.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
And Jake. My call the game was at.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
About about ten fifteen last night when I saw Kawhi
make those first two shots, and I said, he's not
letting him lose this game. There is something about Kawhi
Leonard when he's healthy and he's playing like this new Listen.
I'm not the biggest fan of what Kawhi Leonard has
done in his career to this point. Right, I'll be
the first one to say this guy is a hired gun.
(12:36):
He's a mercenary.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
He got traded to Toronto even though they want a championship.
He wanted nothing to do with being there or embracing
that city. He wanted to get onto La right, and
he did by all means necessary. And then you got
to bring in Paul George, so it forced them to
tell me there's a lot that happened there that I'm
not a fan of. Sitting out missing games. Could play,
can't play, but you can't deny the talent and when
(12:58):
the guy is right, and when the guy wants to play,
and when the guy is locked in. That's what we
saw last night, and that was beyond impressive. And the
one thing that I do like in this day and
age Jake, where everybody's flopping and they've been shot by
a dart gun and they're dropping like crazy, and all
the foul hunting that we've seen in the playoffs and
we've seen every year, he doesn't complain. That guy you
(13:19):
call a foul on him, he doesn't say a thing.
Or if he thinks he got fouled and they don't
call it, he doesn't say a thing. And I do
like that when I watched Kawhi Leonard. But it was
a masterclass last night. Thirty nine points and a big
win on the road in Denver.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yeah, it's really interesting to me. I could probably do
an hour on it. How will he remember Kawhi Leonard
ten fifteen years from now?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
What will his legacy be? Because he's certainly one of
the most effective players we've ever seen. He sort of
is the poster child for better or worse for load management.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Some of that I think is a little unfair because
the guy has lost entire seasons of his career.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
To injuries, right, Like, yes, yes, you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Know it's not a naggy ankle that's keeping him out
for a couple of weeks at a time. He's had
some pretty serious structural injuries. But as you said, like
at this point in his career and you know, he's
he's getting on as far as the years go, thirty
three years old and a couple of pretty major injuries
behind him.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
When he's right, he's still as good as just about.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Anybody, and he still brings it defensively he always has.
He's he's so interesting to watch because when he gets
that those jumpers going to step backs, he's got that
line drive delivery, and it's almost like just like he's
punching the in the gut every time he hits one
of those step back line drive jumpers, Yes, and it
just you know, kicks in off the back of the rim.
He's he was spectacular last night. You're right, you could
(14:42):
tell earlier it was gonna be one of those nights.
And that really is like the Clippers are a really
good team and we're able to forge an identity sort
of without him, Which is going back to when the
year Toronto won the title, it was sort of the
same thing. They had a group of guys that were
comfortable with Lowry and all these guys, and then when
they threw Kawhi on top, it was like, Okay, it's
now we can hang with anybody in the league. Feels
(15:04):
like the Clippers sort of built their identity and now
Kawhi just slides in and he's like, oh, by the way,
here's thirty nine points on fifteen or nineteen from the field,
and some of the best perimeter defense as well.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's a really good team.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And when he is playing like that, they're you know,
they're I want to say, unbeatable.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But Denver was right there every step of the way
last night.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I mean you look across the floor and he got
the best player in the world getting a playoff.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Triple double, and that was it was right down to
the horn in Denver. But the Clippers steel won headed
back to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Now this week, I just I saw that up close
and personal in Toronto, and I saw that guy. I
saw that guy that would not be denied in that
series in twenty nineteen, and he looked like that guy
last night. Now, we don't know if he has the
stamina to do it all the way through an NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
We didn't even know if he can get out of
this series.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We have no idea, but that Kawhi last night, that
guy doesn't lose, he shows up in game three, then
they're going to take control of the series.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Who knows. We'll see real.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Quick, Jacob, I want to fly through some of these
as we close out the show. But the Anonymous Athletic
poll has come out. One hundred and thirty seven players
anonymously voted on a number of categories. First of all,
do you like anonymous poles? Do you think somebody should
put a name to it? Or do you like Do
you like that the fact that they hide behind anonymity.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
No, I don't mind.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I honestly don't mind it in this context because it
gives us.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It gives us some interesting insight.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
You're asking questions that thought they will never answer if
they put their name on it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, nor should they, nor should they. But it is interesting.
Give credit to the Athletic. You can find it at
the Athletic dot com. And here's some of the questions.
So the first one, who is the MVP? One hundred
and fifty five votes were cast. One hundred and fifty
five votes. That's a pretty good sample size, overwhelming margin
fifty six percent, Shake Godess, Alexander thirty seven percent, Nicola Jokic,
and then you have less than two percent Giannis, Donovan,
(16:47):
Mitchell Lebron.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I think they got it right. You can't go wrong
this year.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Shaye's gonna win it because Jokichardi has three of them.
But if anybody voted for Jokiic, they wouldn't need to
explain themselves to me. He's the best player in the
world and these one of his best seasons ever.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Average a triple double used to be automatic at you
the MVP, and now it doesn't even get them in
the conversation. It gets them in the conversation, but it
doesn't even you know, it doesn't even keep them close. Okay,
which team other than your own will win a title
this season? One hundred and thirty seven votes were cast.
The Boston Celtics fifty seven point seven percent. That's what
you're up against for the Orlando Magic. Second is okay,
see at seventeen point five percent, and then you have Cleveland,
(17:25):
then the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Your thoughts on.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
That that's a pretty big that's a pretty big drop off.
Fifty it's an overwhelming majority think Boston is going to repeat.
And so to me, I go because I came away
from Game one going we got to have an almost
completely perfect sheet against this team to beat them four times,
that confirmed some of my fears. This is a really
good Boston team that sort of, you know, bided their
(17:49):
time in the regular season and they're ready to pounce.
For only seventeen percent of the players that think Oklahoma,
which is pretty clear cut the number two team in
the league and you know, won sixty eight games, they're
gonna win the championship.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
That's scary.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
That is scary that you cannot score on okac nobody can.
And to think that they don't even have a shot
compared to some players and how they feel, all right,
some of these start to get very interesting. Now, five
years from now, who will be the face of the
NBA overwhelming again, Victor Webbin Yama fifty four percent. We
anointed this guy since he was ten, since he was
ten years old and six foot nine, we have anointed
(18:23):
this guy as the face of the NBA, and one
hundred and thirty eight players unanimously voted for that as well.
Then you have Anthony Edwards. Then you got to drop
all the way down to six. Is Orlando's Polo Bancaro
at two point two percent, people think he will be
the face of the NBA. Your thoughts on Victor Webbin
Yama the overwhelming majority leader there.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, I understand it.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
He's he's delivered on expectations, and the expectations were through
the roof.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Did you see the.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Video of Paula that the NBA tweeted out of him
doing his warm up stretches and explaining how he does
his rubber bands and kind of yes, yes, I think
that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I thought it was really interesting.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I was like, I remember doing those doing those stretches
when I was in middle school.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I wonder if I could still do them.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
But I think getting his personality out there on a
national sort of platform a little bit is really helpful.
And every time the team goes back to the playoffs
and the dude has thirty six thirty.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Nine points, he's a step closer in that conversation.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, and I think once you start seeing it, he's
a trash talker too. He'll talk to anybody and I
think once that starts getting kind of like Anthony Edwards, right,
he's letting you know how he's torching you.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Paula does that too, And I think, once that gets
out there, this is my favorite one. I just get
a kick out of this. Who is the league's most
overrated player?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
And it's a list of guys that people in.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
The NBA don't like? Right, It's just they say, Okay,
here's the guys that I don't like. Here's the guys
that have either torched me on a buzzer beater, or
here's the guys that talk to me. Here's the guys
that make a bunch of noise to me. Those are
always the guys on this list. But I'll let you
guys decide. Tyrese Haliburton overwhelming league's most overrated player at
fourteen point four percent, I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I would disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But then you get Rudy Gobar, second, Trey Young, Jimmy Butler,
Bradley Beal, Draymond Green, Jahn Morant. Right, Like, tell, are
these guys most overrated or they or have we just
put together a list of people we don't like, because
that's who it seems to be Julius.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Randalls on this list.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Honesty, exception, honest, the exception. But there may be it's
only two percent. People may look at that and say, well,
you know, he's just long, right, there might be a
couple of knuckleheads that.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
You're I think that means one or two people voted
for him, right, Probably.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
One or two people.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
But you know, the other guys are guys that typically,
you know, NBA players have a problem with where somebody's
had had a beef with. And honestly, there's a lot
of names on there that NBA fans have problems with.
When you get to Trey Young, Jimmy Butler, Bradley Beal,
Draymond Green, Joel Embiid, I find interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Did you was it was this? You? Did you do this?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I put this together.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Perfect? The hell?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The Halliburton one caught me off guard, a little bity.
He does talk trash, but he but you know, it
feels like he's part of that sort of fraternity, like
he's yes, yes, you know, he's he's been an All
Star year in the year out.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
The Gobert one and the Trey Young win those do
not surprise me at all. Everybody hates Rudy Gobert. I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Once he got paid, once he got that salary, he
became the most overrated player.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yep, you're right. That's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
For this addition, a Magic Insiders presented by International Diamond Center.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Have a great night, everybody, Magic and Celtics Game two
tomorrow night.
