A game?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Just game one? What you got you got? You got
Dallas winning obviously.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Uh, game one is tough to predict.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But I'm gonna go ahead and lay it on the
line and put Dallas out there game one.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I think I just love their saying Boston is tough.
This is a finals.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Boston has been the best team all year. But in
my opinion, I believe that Dallas is playing the best
team basketball right now. Everybody knows exactly who they are,
and everybody's playing their role to a t. Luca is
dominating the playoffs. He led I heard you on undisputed
post that.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He led, Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Steals, steals, He's leading in steals.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
He's so smart. He's scoring the ball bearing everybody. He's
pass and he's rebounding it. What is this, guys, that's
not gas, It is fact. That's kind of thing it's
not that is not gas. So what you so, what
you got?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You got?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
How does Boston win Game one?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Team effort we got for singers coming off the bench,
We're about to see you and watch game one. I
mean anticipation to build up. I mean there there hasn't
been a bigger build up to game one because of
the long layoff, you know what I'm saying. Like it's
been like ten days that like been build up, and
now you got everybody ready to go. The build up
(04:32):
for game one is one of the biggest build ups
I feel like in all time history. So I'm ready
for the selfish, the crowd to be energized. I feel
like all the bars is gonna be loaded, packed, drinking loud,
ready to go, y'all hear me, because I'm telling y'all
we're not coming there for game two. We're not coming
(04:54):
there for game two. Y'all. I'm coming.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm telling you they're gonna win that one. What they're
gonna win? All right?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
When you get there, be a game. So tell me
about this. You now we hear game one, you can
see it, lights of brighter. I mean, the fans coming in,
We're showing that the streets is lit.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know that feeling, you know, just being in two
finals myself. Yeah, just being in two finals myself. That
just the anticipation of this.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I mean, here, sleep the night before, like, did you
do your normal routine? Did you get shot up? Like?
Did you did you?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I know your thing was watching a movie and calming
yourself down.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, you know. The night before Game one, I kept
everything the same. It didn't nothing change for me. I
was like, it's a game. I expected to be here
because we was the best team all year and everybody
picked the Lakers and all of this. But I was like,
nothing changed for me.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Approach was the same ticket request, everybody blowing you no.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Once playoff start, it's start when the playoffs start, I'm
cutting all that off. It's only a select few from
when the playoffs start. So by the time I get
to the finals, it's already nipping the bug getting Yeah,
because so now I'm ready, I'm locked in. Come on, dog,
I ain't talk to you all year. Now you want
some tickets? You can't the one two games? Not? Nah,
(06:22):
I don't even like to deal with that. You're gonna
have to go through too many layers to get to
that and it ain't even gonna get to me. You know,
the people I'm gonna have around. So like Game one,
anticipation was like it's like finally, it was like a
breath of fresh air. I was like, damn. But you
know this day second finals and you know for the
guys who they first finals, it's like, man, this is
what you dream of, this is what you work for
(06:44):
all year long. So you start thinking about all that year.
I did my burpees, I did my my my heel
runs for this moment right here. You know what I'm saying.
You know, and you just approach it like any other game.
And I know it sound cliche, and you think your
approachonally like any other game, but you try to stay
in routine.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Try to stay in routine.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
How much do you think this?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I know you're a Celtius guy, but let's switch reels
to think about how much impact do you think Kyrie
Irvin will be able to help prepare.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I'm not worried about Luca, right, Luca been a star
since he was twelve thirteen years old. He's been in
big moments.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
But what about the PJ Washington's and them? Do you
think that, like, was you talking, was you hitting up
your young guys. But y'all had a veteran.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Team, We had a best squad, you had a bed.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, so how much of an impact do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
None of us really been to the finals, only like
Poe's been to the finals, James Posey. So it was
just like, you know, we didn't know what to respect,
you know, theatrics. It was all type of media obi
and it's cold. But like you know, I never was
overwhelmed from the moment, you know what I'm saying. I
was always like lived in the and I wasn't like, oh,
(08:02):
this is that, this is that, this is that. This
is a game. To me, I play a game that
I've been playing my whole life. I'm ready for this.
I was built for this. I didn't played in big
time moments. I didn't played in big time environments, going
from Inglewood to Kansas now playing in the garden all
these years, I was like, no, I don know, I'm
ready for this. I'm ready for the stage. All right,
(08:23):

even think you could do twenty five straight push ups.
Speaker 3 (09:15):

Let's put some cheese on it. Twenty five straight push ups.
Good ones. Come on, you're gonna test the phone, test

or if a UFC fighter can be an alien in
a fight. You might have not? And that's all right.
(10:40):
But Shae Serrano and Jason Conception on from the Six
Trophies podcast half If you love basketball, and more importantly,
if you love fun, you gotta listen to Six Trophies,
where Shay and Jason serve up the biggest moments from
around the NBA with their brand of unbridled joy, banter
(11:02):
and pop culture side quests. Each week, they hand out
six pop culture themed trophies for six basketball related activities,
stuff like the Denzel Washington and Training Day Trophy giving
out to the player, or having the best week around
the NBA, or the Laurence Hill. You might win some,
(11:24):
but you just lost one trophy for the team or
player that just can't get it together. Plus a bunch
more trophies for all the good, bad or just playing
head scratching moments around the NBA this playoff season, y'all
want to make six trophies your go to companion podcasts
(11:45):
follow six trophies on the Wondery app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Listen ad free right now by joining
Wondery plus. All right, for Zingis is back. You already
know the Cheeko come back. He got a ten up
twenty one. Obviously the real difference maker. He's the X factor.
I obviously thought the Seeds could win, but with him,
(12:08):
it makes the win. So check it out. Seas will
go on to dominate this game, hopefully for Zinias can
stay healthy. Up twenty plus points, hopefully can hold this lead, though,
don't get too excited. Let's get the win. Let's get
through the Finnish line and we'll see what happens. We
(12:29):
got the soy honey salmon and we got the Cajun
salmon on this side. We're gonna pull these boys off
and give it a taste. Oh, we're looking fresh and good, Babby,
you're looking good out here. It's maintaining all the juices. Man, honey,
what soy honey? All right? With some asparagus from the
(12:54):
broccolini right there. So we're gonna bring this off. Everybody
can dig in. Take them apiece, all right? Game one.
C's win big hey, dog check it out for zingis
X factor? What you what can what adjustments? I mean
(13:17):
Tatum didn't play well, Brown didn't play well. They just
like what adjustments can the that does Memphis make adjustments?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
They gotta find a way to play man play well now.
But their defense breaking down to Boston had twenty seven
to three point attempts in the first half. They was
too confident in letting him rip.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That's their game though, another adjustment.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
So you gotta you gotta slow that down. You can't
allow Boston to get them three point shots like that.
You gotta be able to either switch it up and
go zone or you gotta stop allowing penetrate kicks once.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You gotta stop it. Who you gotta slow down for Boston.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
You gotta stop the penetration on the perimeter. The total
the penetration broke down the defense open shots. Now, if you, Dallas,
you gotta find a way to get your shooters and
the play well, you gotta get your shooters off of you, Dallas.
Look at game one. I was trying to find Kyrie.
Kyrie got lost on the mass Pike. He didn't arrive
(14:16):
there in time for the game. And now he'll be
there in game two.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
All right. Even if Kyrie scored twenty five tonight, that's
not enough. Jesus. It just shows you that Porzingis is
the cheat cod bro. I don't know what adjustments. I
don't know what adjustments that Dallas can make.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
If I'm Boston, I'm starting Porzingis next game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I know I like the way the game.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I don't want that I want to blow if I
want to. I want to start Porzingis if I'm Boston,
because Horford is a is a fill in anyway, He's
cool with that, and Porzingis made some too deadly in
this series when he came in the game. He kind
of like his minutes tonight was unreal.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It was unreal.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, he changed the whole dynamic of this game and
so far this series. How do you switch defenses when
you gotta match up with Porzingis, Jay Kidd, you got
your work cut.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Out for you.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
You a g You gotta sit back with your team
and put something together.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
You gotta find a way. Look, Luca has to be incredible.
We know that. No, he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
He tired out because he had to put so much
work to cut it to eight and we just needed
Kyrie to make one or two shots to get us going,
and that didn't happen. So now Kyrie got to step up. Dallas,
you gotta win game two. You gotta keep me off
the floor.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean, I really didn't. I really don't see the
adjustments that Dallas can make. I mean, you gotta figure
that Tatum is gonna play better. You gotta figure that, right, right,
You just have to guess. This probably was his worst
game of the playoffs, But that's what I'm just saying.
That was his worst.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Kyrie's gonna play better to PJ Wasshington's gonna play better
everybody on, everybody on Dallas is going to play better.
It's their first playoff game.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Boston played well tonight.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Boston played extremely well as a team. You're talking about
Tatum did. He played well.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Individually, he did okay, But the team Boston was incredible.
The ball movement, the spacing, the defense, the intensity, everything
was on a high level. They played extremely well tonight.
They got twenty seven threes off in the first half,
their offensive rebound, got an extra ball.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Was leaning towards six games. Then I went to five. MAVs.
Didn't move the ball well. Nine assists for the MAVs,
Luca averages nine siss. I just don't see the adjustments.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I need Luca to be more aggressive. We don't need
more ball movement. We need more Luca movement. He needs
to get some rests and he needs to lift it. Yeah,
I put I said, I got push ups on it.
I'm with my group now. If they break down, you
know me, I jump out the car. Hold on this
on the freeway, rolling rolling like that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's going eighty on the free way.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You're jumping out now, I'm gonna talk my stuff. Slow
it down, cause a confusion.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I slicking now you're going eighty three? Are you ready
to jump out?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I'm not ready to jump out right now. I'm not
ready to jump out right now. I want more Luca
because this team is built differently. The Boston Cellings are
built on ball movement because they have talent across the floor.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Confidence from one to ten on Dallas with the way
porzingis is wow. Confidence level?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
What a question?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
What's your coffee level?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Oh my god? You confidences gotta be shaken. Your confidence
gotta be shaken. I will tell you what Luca got
me going because of the eight.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I was running circles around the lot and in my
gas ran totally out when I didn't see Kyrie going.
So listen, my gas is up for game two. A
body tune in game two everything. You know what's gonna happen.
Paul gonna show this win game two?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Is it over?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's gonna turn Luca up.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Celish win game towards it over.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
If celsiush win game two, it is absolutely over. Celtics.
Have they lost on the road.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
No, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
When they get on the road, they destroy you. They
get away and they get focused and they a tight unit.
That's over. The Jallas has to win game two.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
That's what I said, Jason Kidd, this is your biggest
challenge your career. I know you're looking forward to it.
Let's see what you put together in terms of adjustments.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So if Boston wins, do you want to come on
the duck boat with me? My boy? Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Man, Absolutely, I'm throwing I'm throwing on I'm throwing on
the jersey.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Baby, We're on the duck boat.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
So listen up, Pete.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Game one twenty ten, you open up on the road,
you lose by double figures. What is the mental because
you guys came back and got game two, So what
is the adjustments? Like, what was the mentality for your team?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Listen, we understood that like if you lose, if you
go down two oh in any given series, that it's
a seventy percent chance you lose. So we just had
that urgency. I mean, I just remember Ray having a
big game, and you know, it was just like we
(19:28):
gotta have game two, we gotta snatch home court. So
Ray comes out of a big game, and I know,
based on this game, based based on what the subjects
did in Dallas, that Dallas is gonna bounce back. But
they gotta withstand that punch. That's gonna be the key.
If we win game two, I feel like this series
(19:48):
is over. I really do, because we've been the best
role team in the playoffs, undefeated, and I know Dallas
is gonna that's gonna be the emphasis going in. So
we won Game two, and then I think game three
we were.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
There any like major adjustment y'all made, Like where there's
something where you guys were like, Okay, we gave up
too many of this or we got caught up in
bad man.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
We always feel like our system was right. We just
had to play better, better defense, better, Like this is
how we played. This is how we played all year long.
We're not changing nothing up. You can't change up once
you get the game ninety something, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Well, you can do some changes like you was calling
for nasried to start. That's a change.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But they didn't do it. You see that, listen, do it.
They didn't want to do it. They didn't do it.
That don't mean it would have worked. But who are
you are and you get to the place who you are,
so it's tough, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
But some of these like matchups, because now it's like
there's certain things you do you like, you can't change
who you are, like your identity, no way, but there
are subtle things just to say, like we gave up,
we didn't cover this rotation, right, we gave up. We
didn't lock and trail that because we didn't respect that action.
So they got eight points out of that action.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think it all comes down to how your stars
perform on the other team that beat you, because usually
the stars beat you, so how do you slow them
down and maintain and limit them. That's what every every
skyt report is based around the opposite team stars, right,
So like if Kobe played well, we have to see
how can we slow that down?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's that's all the adjustment is. That's what the major adjustment.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So like with the Celtics, none of the stars played well.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I don't think. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
John played exceptional, exceptional, but not yes he did.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He did. He played exceptional. He had dunks down middle,
he had steals and dunks. He was a playmaker on defense,
and he shot the ball from three.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
He did his thing right. But if you doubt three, yeah,
he's an exceptional game.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You dollars Mavericks. What adjustments you make?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You gotta figure out how to watch Porzingis wasn't in
the fold. He comes out here and get eighteen in
the first half and you're down by twenty.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
So what's your adjustment. We can't switch. We can't switch
on these matchups with Porzingis. We can't get him on.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
A small So now what trap the pick and roll?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Let's trap the pick and roll.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
With Drew Holliday Darren White.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, let's trap it and forces and then force a
swing swing to no force the long pass.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Let's we gotta play strong side defense. We gotta play
heavy strong side defense, force the skip close out. We
can't do what we did.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
We cannot allow Porzingis. We you know, kid, Jason.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, there you have a game one in the books.
If Subjects win game two, the series is pretty much over.
Hopefully they make these adjustments. So Jay, don't do these
push ups. But if you do these push ups, he's
gonna be right for the You feel me? So game two,
I'm coming to Boston, Truth Flowers, Big Night Live. Get
(23:08):
tickets link in my bio. It's gonna be a movie
show up. You're gonna meet your boy because I'm gonna
have y'all gas because look, if we win game two,
it's over. It's over. I'm trying to take you full
up to your boy Truth Flowers. I'll see you there
Oh man, this game one. So we gonna build up
and do it steak, Simon, wings, solid, healthy destibals, sparagus, broccoli.
We're gonna lay it out. This is the best of
the best, baby, that's the truth. Louns Ain't nobody doing
(00:20):
it like this, And it's coming from the guy. I'm
the guy. I'm serving dishes out. I'm dishing it out.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
I hate to bush your bubble.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh my god, here we go.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Excited the Boston feory got a Celtic, Hodio, you got
your Celtic you represent right there, right there, Luca.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Is getting ready to bring the drama.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
He's getting ready to bring mass hysteria to the Boston fans.
They deep my vision right now. We're getting ready to
watch this game. So I'm getting ready to have me
a nicer dub beverage and me too, me to watch
Luca mean mug the Boston.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I ain't coming in Boston like that, broh. He come everywhere.
They're gonnayre. Gonna have to fly back to Dallas, spend
the night, then come back for game two.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes, what you're going against
the baddest dude in the world right now. That don't
make you That don't make you shake a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I ain't shaking. I grew up in the wood, grew
up in the wood. I know who the baddest, So
I don't seen that bad look like this.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Ain't no gays. This's the boogeyman right here. I'm not
afraid of gangs. That boogeyman and ghosts with them. Ghosts
is what scared you.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What you can't what you.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Can't prepare for sports? This is different, all right? Check
it out. What's your what's your prediction? Then? What you're thinking?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
A game?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Just game one? What you got you got? You got
Dallas winning obviously.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Uh, game one is tough to predict.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But I'm gonna go ahead and lay it on the
line and put Dallas out there game one.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I think I just love their saying Boston is tough.
This is a finals.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Boston has been the best team all year. But in
my opinion, I believe that Dallas is playing the best
team basketball right now. Everybody knows exactly who they are,
and everybody's playing their role to a t. Luca is
dominating the playoffs. He led I heard you on undisputed
post that.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He led, Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Steals, steals, He's leading in steals.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
He's so smart. He's scoring the ball bearing everybody. He's
pass and he's rebounding it. What is this, guys, that's
not gas, It is fact. That's kind of thing it's
not that is not gas. So what you so, what
you got?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You got?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
How does Boston win Game one?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Team effort we got for singers coming off the bench,
We're about to see you and watch game one. I
mean anticipation to build up. I mean there there hasn't
been a bigger build up to game one because of
the long layoff, you know what I'm saying. Like it's
been like ten days that like been build up, and
now you got everybody ready to go. The build up
(04:32):
for game one is one of the biggest build ups
I feel like in all time history. So I'm ready
for the selfish, the crowd to be energized. I feel
like all the bars is gonna be loaded, packed, drinking loud,
ready to go, y'all hear me, because I'm telling y'all
we're not coming there for game two. We're not coming
(04:54):
there for game two. Y'all. I'm coming.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm telling you they're gonna win that one. What they're
gonna win? All right?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
When you get there, be a game. So tell me
about this. You now we hear game one, you can
see it, lights of brighter. I mean, the fans coming in,
We're showing that the streets is lit.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know that feeling, you know, just being in two
finals myself. Yeah, just being in two finals myself. That
just the anticipation of this.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I mean, here, sleep the night before, like, did you
do your normal routine? Did you get shot up? Like?
Did you did you?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I know your thing was watching a movie and calming
yourself down.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, you know. The night before Game one, I kept
everything the same. It didn't nothing change for me. I
was like, it's a game. I expected to be here
because we was the best team all year and everybody
picked the Lakers and all of this. But I was like,
nothing changed for me.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Approach was the same ticket request, everybody blowing you no.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Once playoff start, it's start when the playoffs start, I'm
cutting all that off. It's only a select few from
when the playoffs start. So by the time I get
to the finals, it's already nipping the bug getting Yeah,
because so now I'm ready, I'm locked in. Come on, dog,
I ain't talk to you all year. Now you want
some tickets? You can't the one two games? Not? Nah,
(06:22):
I don't even like to deal with that. You're gonna
have to go through too many layers to get to
that and it ain't even gonna get to me. You know,
the people I'm gonna have around. So like Game one,
anticipation was like it's like finally, it was like a
breath of fresh air. I was like, damn. But you
know this day second finals and you know for the
guys who they first finals, it's like, man, this is
what you dream of, this is what you work for
(06:44):
all year long. So you start thinking about all that year.
I did my burpees, I did my my my heel
runs for this moment right here. You know what I'm saying.
You know, and you just approach it like any other game.
And I know it sound cliche, and you think your
approachonally like any other game, but you try to stay
in routine.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Try to stay in routine.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
How much do you think this?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I know you're a Celtius guy, but let's switch reels
to think about how much impact do you think Kyrie
Irvin will be able to help prepare.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I'm not worried about Luca, right, Luca been a star
since he was twelve thirteen years old. He's been in
big moments.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
But what about the PJ Washington's and them? Do you
think that, like, was you talking, was you hitting up
your young guys. But y'all had a veteran.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Team, We had a best squad, you had a bed.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, so how much of an impact do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
None of us really been to the finals, only like
Poe's been to the finals, James Posey. So it was
just like, you know, we didn't know what to respect,
you know, theatrics. It was all type of media obi
and it's cold. But like you know, I never was
overwhelmed from the moment, you know what I'm saying. I
was always like lived in the and I wasn't like, oh,
(08:02):
this is that, this is that, this is that. This
is a game. To me, I play a game that
I've been playing my whole life. I'm ready for this.
I was built for this. I didn't played in big
time moments. I didn't played in big time environments, going
from Inglewood to Kansas now playing in the garden all
these years, I was like, no, I don know, I'm
ready for this. I'm ready for the stage. All right,
(08:23):
y'all check it out. We're getting ready for Game one.
Were about to watch this, watch this Game one. You're
gonna check out our reaction. We so hyped up, and man,

Speaker 1 (08:51):

even think you could do twenty five straight push ups.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You don't put no cheese on that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Let's put some cheese on it. Twenty five straight push ups.
Good ones. Come on, you're gonna test the phone, test

Speaker 3 (09:23):
The phone is, test the phone ones, whatever the criteria.

or if a UFC fighter can be an alien in
a fight. You might have not? And that's all right.
(10:40):
But Shae Serrano and Jason Conception on from the Six
Trophies podcast half If you love basketball, and more importantly,
if you love fun, you gotta listen to Six Trophies,
where Shay and Jason serve up the biggest moments from
around the NBA with their brand of unbridled joy, banter
(11:02):
and pop culture side quests. Each week, they hand out
six pop culture themed trophies for six basketball related activities,
stuff like the Denzel Washington and Training Day Trophy giving
out to the player, or having the best week around
the NBA, or the Laurence Hill. You might win some,
(11:24):
but you just lost one trophy for the team or
player that just can't get it together. Plus a bunch
more trophies for all the good, bad or just playing
head scratching moments around the NBA this playoff season, y'all
want to make six trophies your go to companion podcasts
(11:45):
follow six trophies on the Wondery app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Listen ad free right now by joining
Wondery plus. All right, for Zingis is back. You already
know the Cheeko come back. He got a ten up
twenty one. Obviously the real difference maker. He's the X factor.
I obviously thought the Seeds could win, but with him,
(12:08):
it makes the win. So check it out. Seas will
go on to dominate this game, hopefully for Zinias can
stay healthy. Up twenty plus points, hopefully can hold this lead, though,
don't get too excited. Let's get the win. Let's get
through the Finnish line and we'll see what happens. We
(12:29):
got the soy honey salmon and we got the Cajun
salmon on this side. We're gonna pull these boys off
and give it a taste. Oh, we're looking fresh and good, Babby,
you're looking good out here. It's maintaining all the juices. Man, honey,
what soy honey? All right? With some asparagus from the
(12:54):
broccolini right there. So we're gonna bring this off. Everybody
can dig in. Take them apiece, all right? Game one.
C's win big hey, dog check it out for zingis
X factor? What you what can what adjustments? I mean
(13:17):
Tatum didn't play well, Brown didn't play well. They just
like what adjustments can the that does Memphis make adjustments?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
They gotta find a way to play man play well now.
But their defense breaking down to Boston had twenty seven
to three point attempts in the first half. They was
too confident in letting him rip.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That's their game though, another adjustment.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
So you gotta you gotta slow that down. You can't
allow Boston to get them three point shots like that.
You gotta be able to either switch it up and
go zone or you gotta stop allowing penetrate kicks once.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You gotta stop it. Who you gotta slow down for Boston.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
You gotta stop the penetration on the perimeter. The total
the penetration broke down the defense open shots. Now, if you, Dallas,
you gotta find a way to get your shooters and
the play well, you gotta get your shooters off of you, Dallas.
Look at game one. I was trying to find Kyrie.
Kyrie got lost on the mass Pike. He didn't arrive
(14:16):
there in time for the game. And now he'll be
there in game two.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
All right. Even if Kyrie scored twenty five tonight, that's
not enough. Jesus. It just shows you that Porzingis is
the cheat cod bro. I don't know what adjustments. I
don't know what adjustments that Dallas can make.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
If I'm Boston, I'm starting Porzingis next game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I know I like the way the game.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I don't want that I want to blow if I
want to. I want to start Porzingis if I'm Boston,
because Horford is a is a fill in anyway, He's
cool with that, and Porzingis made some too deadly in
this series when he came in the game. He kind
of like his minutes tonight was unreal.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It was unreal.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, he changed the whole dynamic of this game and
so far this series. How do you switch defenses when
you gotta match up with Porzingis, Jay Kidd, you got
your work cut.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Out for you.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
You a g You gotta sit back with your team
and put something together.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
You gotta find a way. Look, Luca has to be incredible.
We know that. No, he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
He tired out because he had to put so much
work to cut it to eight and we just needed
Kyrie to make one or two shots to get us going,
and that didn't happen. So now Kyrie got to step up. Dallas,
you gotta win game two. You gotta keep me off
the floor.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean, I really didn't. I really don't see the
adjustments that Dallas can make. I mean, you gotta figure
that Tatum is gonna play better. You gotta figure that, right, right,
You just have to guess. This probably was his worst
game of the playoffs, But that's what I'm just saying.
That was his worst.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Kyrie's gonna play better to PJ Wasshington's gonna play better
everybody on, everybody on Dallas is going to play better.
It's their first playoff game.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Boston played well tonight.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Boston played extremely well as a team. You're talking about
Tatum did. He played well.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Individually, he did okay, But the team Boston was incredible.
The ball movement, the spacing, the defense, the intensity, everything
was on a high level. They played extremely well tonight.
They got twenty seven threes off in the first half,
their offensive rebound, got an extra ball.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Was leaning towards six games. Then I went to five. MAVs.
Didn't move the ball well. Nine assists for the MAVs,
Luca averages nine siss. I just don't see the adjustments.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I need Luca to be more aggressive. We don't need
more ball movement. We need more Luca movement. He needs
to get some rests and he needs to lift it. Yeah,
I put I said, I got push ups on it.
I'm with my group now. If they break down, you
know me, I jump out the car. Hold on this
on the freeway, rolling rolling like that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's going eighty on the free way.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You're jumping out now, I'm gonna talk my stuff. Slow
it down, cause a confusion.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I slicking now you're going eighty three? Are you ready
to jump out?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I'm not ready to jump out right now. I'm not
ready to jump out right now. I want more Luca
because this team is built differently. The Boston Cellings are
built on ball movement because they have talent across the floor.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Confidence from one to ten on Dallas with the way
porzingis is wow. Confidence level?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
What a question?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
What's your coffee level?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Oh my god? You confidences gotta be shaken. Your confidence
gotta be shaken. I will tell you what Luca got
me going because of the eight.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I was running circles around the lot and in my
gas ran totally out when I didn't see Kyrie going.
So listen, my gas is up for game two. A
body tune in game two everything. You know what's gonna happen.
Paul gonna show this win game two?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Is it over?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's gonna turn Luca up.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Celish win game towards it over.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
If celsiush win game two, it is absolutely over. Celtics.
Have they lost on the road.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
No, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
When they get on the road, they destroy you. They
get away and they get focused and they a tight unit.
That's over. The Jallas has to win game two.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
That's what I said, Jason Kidd, this is your biggest
challenge your career. I know you're looking forward to it.
Let's see what you put together in terms of adjustments.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So if Boston wins, do you want to come on
the duck boat with me? My boy? Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Man, Absolutely, I'm throwing I'm throwing on I'm throwing on
the jersey.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Baby, We're on the duck boat.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
So listen up, Pete.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Game one twenty ten, you open up on the road,
you lose by double figures. What is the mental because
you guys came back and got game two, So what
is the adjustments? Like, what was the mentality for your team?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Listen, we understood that like if you lose, if you
go down two oh in any given series, that it's
a seventy percent chance you lose. So we just had
that urgency. I mean, I just remember Ray having a
big game, and you know, it was just like we
(19:28):
gotta have game two, we gotta snatch home court. So
Ray comes out of a big game, and I know,
based on this game, based based on what the subjects
did in Dallas, that Dallas is gonna bounce back. But
they gotta withstand that punch. That's gonna be the key.
If we win game two, I feel like this series
(19:48):
is over. I really do, because we've been the best
role team in the playoffs, undefeated, and I know Dallas
is gonna that's gonna be the emphasis going in. So
we won Game two, and then I think game three
we were.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
There any like major adjustment y'all made, Like where there's
something where you guys were like, Okay, we gave up
too many of this or we got caught up in
bad man.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
We always feel like our system was right. We just
had to play better, better defense, better, Like this is
how we played. This is how we played all year long.
We're not changing nothing up. You can't change up once
you get the game ninety something, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Well, you can do some changes like you was calling
for nasried to start. That's a change.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But they didn't do it. You see that, listen, do it.
They didn't want to do it. They didn't do it.
That don't mean it would have worked. But who are
you are and you get to the place who you are,
so it's tough, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
But some of these like matchups, because now it's like
there's certain things you do you like, you can't change
who you are, like your identity, no way, but there
are subtle things just to say, like we gave up,
we didn't cover this rotation, right, we gave up. We
didn't lock and trail that because we didn't respect that action.
So they got eight points out of that action.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think it all comes down to how your stars
perform on the other team that beat you, because usually
the stars beat you, so how do you slow them
down and maintain and limit them. That's what every every
skyt report is based around the opposite team stars, right,
So like if Kobe played well, we have to see
how can we slow that down?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's that's all the adjustment is. That's what the major adjustment.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So like with the Celtics, none of the stars played well.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I don't think. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
John played exceptional, exceptional, but not yes he did.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He did. He played exceptional. He had dunks down middle,
he had steals and dunks. He was a playmaker on defense,
and he shot the ball from three.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
He did his thing right. But if you doubt three, yeah,
he's an exceptional game.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You dollars Mavericks. What adjustments you make?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
You gotta figure out how to watch Porzingis wasn't in
the fold. He comes out here and get eighteen in
the first half and you're down by twenty.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
So what's your adjustment. We can't switch. We can't switch
on these matchups with Porzingis. We can't get him on.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
A small So now what trap the pick and roll?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Let's trap the pick and roll.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
With Drew Holliday Darren White.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, let's trap it and forces and then force a
swing swing to no force the long pass.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Let's we gotta play strong side defense. We gotta play
heavy strong side defense, force the skip close out. We
can't do what we did.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
We cannot allow Porzingis. We you know, kid, Jason.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, there you have a game one in the books.
If Subjects win game two, the series is pretty much over.
Hopefully they make these adjustments. So Jay, don't do these
push ups. But if you do these push ups, he's
gonna be right for the You feel me? So game two,
I'm coming to Boston, Truth Flowers, Big Night Live. Get
(23:08):
tickets link in my bio. It's gonna be a movie
show up. You're gonna meet your boy because I'm gonna
have y'all gas because look, if we win game two,
it's over. It's over. I'm trying to take you full
up to your boy Truth Flowers. I'll see you there
