Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to a
post-live reaction episode of,
From my Perspective as you know,I'm your boy Deion, and after
that amazing game one on theEastern Conference.
As you know, we had to comegive our live reaction.
Once again, I'm your boy, youknow, I'm joined with the
resident Nick fan.
The resident Nick fan and theresident Indiana Pacer fan, Q
(00:25):
and Quag.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
How y'all fellas
doing.
Go ahead, Quag.
What's up, my boy.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
He probably ain't
doing so hot right now.
I'm here, man, I feel it.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I feel it.
Q, how you doing man, man,y'all are not the best.
It's your boy, mr Bell.
I can't say your name beforethe fire Might not fit you in my
mind.
I mean, bro, you know what I'msaying, before we get into like
actual basketball shit.
Today my son graduated from thefifth.
He moved on from the fifthgrade.
I keep saying graduated.
He had a ceremony going fromfifth to middle school and all I
(00:59):
could keep replaying in my headis that I'm getting old.
And I go back to when we justdid this live fight in person.
I said I'm about to be 36.
And then I said damn.
And all day I've been lookingat people like this nigga.
I really said damn, bro.
I said this about four timestoday.
Like this nigga, I really saiddamn, and I'm not that old bro.
(01:24):
First off, first off, don'tdamn me.
Secondly, but I ain't gonna lie, I do feel old Now that I got
Middle school, so it's different.
But yeah, other than that, I'msturdy.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I mean I feel like
you gotta be having A good day.
Like I said, that was Aabsolutely Great game One for
the Eastern Conference Finals.
Definitely blew.
Great game won for the EasternConference Finals.
Definitely blew the first gameof the Western Conference Finals
out of the water.
But we will get to that laterfor a short bit.
But we got to talk about thisgame won and since I have an
(01:58):
Indiana Pacers fan and a NewYork Knicks fan who I will
guarantee will be going at itfor the majority of not only
this podcast but the futurepodcast while this series is
going on, I just want to get mythoughts first.
I mean great game One.
Indiana Pacers came out hot.
I think they started out eightfor eight, but you know how
basketball is, that is notsustainable.
The Knicks came back, theyfought back and I feel like the
(02:21):
Knicks pretty much dominatedmost of the game from the second
quarter on to about what?
Two minutes into the fourthquarter.
To me there was two moments asI'm watching the game.
I believe the Pacers are downfour points and Jalen Brunson
gets his fifth foul and he getsit with roughly ten minutes to
(02:44):
go in the fourth quarter.
And at this point I'm thinking,oh, pacers got it.
All they got to do.
Hey, brunson's on the, they gotto hit him and hit him hard,
while Brunson's on the benchwith five fouls.
But the exact opposite happenedand the Knicks went on a 14-0
run and at that point I'mthinking it's over.
(03:04):
Brunson was not on the court.
Brunson comes back on the courtand then for some reason the
Indiana Pacers show back up,comes down.
At one point it was 94-111.
Aaron Neesmith turned intoSteph Curry in a USA Olympic
jersey as he's just shootingfrom any and everywhere.
(03:26):
Brings him on back and you knowthey play the foul game a
little bit.
Tyrese gets the ball in clutchmoment as they are down two.
Looks like he's going for thetwo.
He rushes back out to thethree-point line, shoots it, it
bounced up and it falls in andI'm thinking this is the
greatest shot since the KawhiWinner shot has happened.
(03:47):
Turns out just to be a two,it's just to be a two, but the
Pacers did finish him off inovertime to take to take the 138
to 135 lead.
So before we get to the fan ofthe winning team, I want to ask
DQ his thoughts of his New YorkKnicks and how they.
(04:10):
I'm just going to say they kindof choked that one away in game
one.
What's your thoughts, man?
How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm feeling all right
, man, the Pacers had to do all
that to win.
I'm feeling alright.
That's not sustainable.
All this lucky shit that begoing on not sustainable.
I don't see this happeningagain.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Knicks in five okay,
knicks in five.
I think this game, this series,is going straight seven.
Watching these two teams goback and forth, I want this
thing to go to seven.
Q, your team won, your teampulled it out.
I know you was nervous, becauseI was nervous as a fan of
(04:54):
neither one of these teams.
I'm nervous watching this game.
My heart is racing, but it wasjust that damn good of a game.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Let's break down the
game a little in depth, though.
Right, like you said, whenBrunson went out, you thinking
this is time for the Pacers toattack.
And we didn't.
We let OG get a couple shots,we let Big Purr get a couple
shots, but before that,throughout the second half,
(05:25):
shots, but before that,throughout the second half,
indiana would.
Yeah, throughout the secondhalf and a little bit in the
second quarter, indiana wouldget it down to a two-point lead,
one-point lead, and every timewe would do that, new York would
stretch it right back out.
Every time, new York wouldstretch it right back out.
Every time we got within two orone points, new York would
stretch it right out.
And in my head I'm thinkinglike yo, we can't keep doing
(05:48):
this, we're going to have to getover the hump.
But the problem was we werestarting baskets from New York.
For most of this game, weattempted to start baskets with
a team that's already up eightpoints, then 10 points, then 12
points.
You can't continue to startbaskets with a team like that.
At some point you, you got tomake stops.
(06:08):
We finally did.
We went on a 20-4, 20-2 run.
Within the last two and someminutes of the game, we finally
get stopped, we start hustling,we start attacking the ball,
trying to get to the loose balls, and start playing hustle
defense, which is what we haveto do.
Where was I at for the firstthree?
For the first?
Basically, 44, 45 minutes ofthe game, 46 minutes.
(06:32):
We didn't do that.
I ain't going to go too farbecause I got some stuff I want
to get off my chest.
As far as hating, we can go.
We can move past that.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
We can get there.
Let's just go ahead and focuson finishing up on Game 1.
Game 1 is probably one of thebest games that I've seen in
these playoffs, and there's beensome great games in this
playoffs.
That's saying a lot, especiallyin the Eastern Conference part
of the playoffs, but it's onlyGame 1.
(07:08):
That's my, especially in theEastern Conference Final Eastern
Conference, eastern part of theplayoffs, but it's only game
one.
That's my Great Woods series.
You know that game one Nextgame could be a blowout.
Who knows?
My question for you guys,though let's just call a spade a
spade.
The Knicks pretty much chokedthis one away.
The momentum is in the Pacers,on the Pacers' side, dq, q.
(07:29):
Do you guys think the Knickscould get that momentum back to
their side, especially on gametwo, or do you think the Pacers
can hold this?
Because this is basically whathappened.
I feel what happened in thelast round with both teams.
Really, the Pacers beat theCavs in Game 1 and Game 2, and
they got that momentum and theynever looked back.
(07:51):
Same with the Knicks when theybeat the Celtics.
They beat them in Game 1 andGame 2, and they never looked
back.
So Game 2 is very important, Ibelieve from my perspective, but
how do you think that plays outin terms of the momentum?
Do?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
you think the Pacers
can keep it or do you think the
Knicks can get that back?
So I mean, let's be fair, likeyou said, the Knicks is a good
thing.
We're not going to sit here andact like we're going to sweep
the Knicks.
So the theory of yeah, we gotthe momentum right now, but the
momentum ends when that nextgame gets tipped off Because
(08:30):
it's fresh, late.
Okay, what happened happened?
Fresh, late.
The momentum is whoever's goingto win this game, who's going
to start out hot?
Only way momentum could carryand, like I talked about before
with the Cleveland Cavaliers, weattempting to break souls.
That's what we do.
We try to run people to death.
We attempting to break yoursoul.
We attempting to break yourspirit and where you at.
(08:51):
Only way we're going to do thatis if we go up on a 20-point
lead to start out in the firsthalf.
I don't feel as if New York'sgoing to allow us to go on one
of those what we do withCleveland.
The game before was up at 41.
New York ain't ready to do it.
They gonna, they gonna, theygonna have to fight because they
(09:12):
got dudes, they got some dogson their team.
So momentum yeah, we got itright now, until the next game
gets tipped off.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Thank you man, you, I
think you, man, you're next,
you think I can grab thatmomentum back.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I think they I agree
with Q a little bit.
Yeah, they had the momentum,but I mean, how much momentum is
it really?
You know what I mean?
How much of that is momentumand how much of that is we won
the game Like they was down thewhole game, not the whole game,
(09:52):
but for the most part of thegame, like y'all had to damn
shoot up in a knee-smith.
Hey, I said to test that boy,didn't I say test him.
I said to test him last series,d Smith, nimhard, any end on
the team.
You got an end in your name,bruh.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Halliburton, test
them.
Yeah, they might need to testHalliburton after that crazy
shot at the end of the regularGood.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I was trying to avoid
for doing this.
I'm going to go get that cardout the car now.
I'm going to put that card cardout the car now.
I'm going to put that card onhim.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
now.
Stop it, chill.
We ain't got no problems overhere.
Look I ain't going to lie.
Neesmith kept hitting themthrees.
All I kept doing was like Nickball it in.
That's what you want to do,don't nobody else want to?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
do it, nick, ball it
in.
He plays hard, like he'splaying hard the whole game.
He's telling Carlisle hey man,you need to challenge that.
And Carlisle's like nigga, getback on defense.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
What are you doing?
I'm glad you said that DQ, andI'm glad Rick Carlisle is the
only.
I feel like the rest of thecoaches actually just listen to
their players.
It'd be a play that happens inthe first five minutes of the
first quarter.
Now you're looking at theircoach to challenge.
You're like bro, it is thefirst quarter, first five
minutes, don't worry about it.
Rick Carlisle actually savedhis challenge for the most
(11:12):
opportune time.
He needed it when they matteredthe absolute most.
Credit to him.
More coaches need to do that.
More players need to stop justas soon as a player that doesn't
go their way that probablycould go the opposite way.
They look to their coach tochallenge.
You only get one and you getanother one unless you get it.
So they got to treat themchallenges more like gold,
(11:35):
especially Draymond Green.
He wants to challenge everysingle player.
Man I know he's terrible toplay with on the street ball
court.
He wants to argue about everycall.
Hey, let's just play ball.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
At some point like
all right, bro, you're doing a
lot of acting.
Just come on, bro, let's justrun it.
We ain't even calling the foulson you.
No more Like, forget it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But another thing it
was a bigger problem last year
with the Knicks injuries, but Ithink it could be another
problem last year with theKnicks injuries, but I think it
could be another problem thisyear.
I think this is a bad matchupfor the Knicks.
The reason why I picked thePacers the Knicks is a fast pace
, like you said.
They want us to run you down tothe ground.
They're going to go about 8 to10 deep on their bench.
(12:21):
There's a lot of people that'sgoing to come off the bench.
There's going to be a lot ofpeople that score.
The Knicks is kind of the exactopposite.
They are grinded out, nittygritty, tough and they only go
about seven deep on the bench.
Now I will say Thibodeau, hedid a little something.
He went a little deeper in hisbench than he usually does.
Now they didn't play nothingbut like a couple, couple
seconds, like 30 seconds, but hedid something that he doesn't
(12:44):
usually do.
I think he went about 8-9 deep.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He had to, though he
had the poor Cam, he had the
poor Deuce.
Yep, I mean, you got to godeeper than your 7-8.
You got to go 9-10.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Do you think Tom is
going to do that for the rest of
the season?
Because I feel like with theteam you're facing that's not a
team you can only go 6-7 deep,with they going to run you to
death and they going to go about10.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
The Pacers are going
11 and we going 9.
We going to have to go to our11.
I mean, our 11 is precious,achua that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Tim act like he got
bums on his bench.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
That's the thing.
He always acted like that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But Precious ain't no
bum.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
No, and Cam ain't no
bum.
He came in and did a littlesomething too, Like why wasn't
he playing more in the playoffs?
Like come on now.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Y'all got dudes that
can give you 10 minutes a game
and it's not going to mess it up.
But, tibbs, don't do that.
But you're going to have to dothat, especially with Hank.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
When y'all pull y'all
starters, we pull our starters.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
He's not going to do
it, though the Pacers
technically went.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
We pull a lot of
starters.
Yeah, he's not going to do itthough.
The Pacers technically went 10deep and the Knicks the Knicks
technically went 8 deep.
But I did see Wright.
He was the guy that only wentin for like 36.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, I was going to
say, delon Wright only played.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
He only played for
like 30.
That was the give guy that onlywent in for like 30 seconds.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, I was going to
say DeLon Wright only played.
He only played for like 30seconds.
That was to give campaign abreak Because he was giving,
because Brunson was in foultrouble.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I think Tom has to go
a little bit deeper on his
bench to compete with the Pacersthe way Tom likes to coach.
This is the worst team to play,because they're going to run
you to death and they're goingto test your conditioning and
they are very well conditionedup there in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, that's what we
do.
That's what we, like I said,our attempt is to run you into
the ground, attempt to break youup Because, in fact, like the
Knicks was up, we brought itback down.
We try to break people'sspirits in those two.
We never going to quit and thenwe're going to run you to death
.
I don't know where you're goingnext, but.
(15:14):
I got to get my shit off.
Go ahead, I got to get my shitoff.
Can I give you a minute Firstoff.
Now it's turning.
You're going to have to playbetter, just point blank.
Mitchell Robinson is bodyingeverybody in the play.
Give Mitchell Robinson hiscredit.
He playing defense, he going onthe switches and at her guard
and the guards and doing a goodjob at it, as where normally
(15:37):
that's Mal Cernan.
You're going to have to playBell.
That's the thing number one.
If Mitchell Robinson is gettingall these offensive rebounds,
god damn it, stop his ass.
At least attempt shit.
Like I've been saying quick,miles Turner, he's gonna play
better.
As much as I praise MilesTurner, everybody know I'm a big
(15:58):
fan of Miles Turner becauseeverybody hated on him because
they wanted to keep Sabonis.
But I was like well, you gottakeep Miles because he blocked
shots and he knocked down threeSabonis.
Don't do that.
Miles helps you space the floor.
Miles, do what you're supposedto do and stop getting played
off the court.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, he did.
Miles did start off the gamevery, very hot, you know.
Got to give him credit for that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And then he got to
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
He heard her missing
layups and shit.
That's the thing He'll get tothe back.
He got to the second quarter.
What you talking about, cat,was giving to him.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Then Mal's a seven
foot and then he'll get in the
paint and he start.
No, he got a smaller person onhim and he start rushing.
Don't rush, take your time.
Take your time, dog, make themcome double and they pass the
ball out.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You.
Let McHale lock you up, bumperyou up.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Bruh, he let Josh
Horst 6'4", 6'5", 6'6", whatever
he is, you make him lock you upbecause you rushing.
It ain't that Josh Horst doingthat, but you just rushing
through missing wide open layups.
I can't even get over Ob ObiToppin for missing that dunk.
That was a crazy dunk.
He did make up for it.
He made up for it, so you can'treally say nothing to him.
Being a shepherd you talkedabout playing a team.
(17:13):
Being a shepherd playingtowards the end of the fourth
quarter, jalen Brunson's justlike alright, out of all the
dudes y'all got over there thatcan play defense, this is the
one y'all pick.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Nobody can guard
Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Nobody.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It's true, he's a
foul.
You know what DQ, what Bowlineand column foul merchant?
Does he just be getting fouls?
It's just whatever A merchant,A merchant.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He might be a peddler
, but he ain't no merchant.
That would be great to talkabout.
But they could not keep JalenBrunson out of the lane Anytime.
He wanted to go to the lane.
He was getting to the lane.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Jalen Brunson looking
at Ben Sherpa like all right,
bro come on this is really whaty'all doing now.
All right, brunson's food, thisis lunch all day.
Back up down Early time.
Back up down Early time, pick arow.
And then looked at him like nah, bro, you ain't got it.
Hey, bro, you ain't got it.
I like Ben Shepard.
Ben Shepard is cool to come inand be like you said that, tip
(18:09):
man off the bench.
But in the fourth quarter andyou playing that dude, mr Clutch
himself, you playing that dude.
Nah, you're going to have to dobetter.
I would prefer Neesmith be onhim, but that's the thing.
That means you putting Nemhard,which is like 6'3", on Bridges,
(18:29):
which is like 6'8".
Yeah, they had Halliburtongrowing them at one time.
Yeah, that's my last thing,halliburton, at one point, your
ass is going to have to playdefense At some point in the
fourth quarter when they go forthat pick and roll.
You're taller than Brunson.
Look, just put your armsstraight in the air.
So just put your arms in theair and jump.
(18:49):
Don't try to go for the ball,don't reach over, don't do that,
just go like this.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
The Pacers had two
back-to-back possessions where
they fouled a three-pointshooter.
Just awful fouls too.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, that's the
thing.
That's neither here nor there.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But I mean, we won
the game, they won the game, but
the Pacers did win the game.
Congratulations to the Pacersfor winning game one.
Game two is on Friday, still inthe garden.
I'm just going to go ahead andask you guys right now who y'all
think going to pull it out ingame two.
Hey, quentin.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Realistically, I
don't see us losing in the guard
.
No more.
The refs know they job.
They know what to do from nowon.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
The refs know they
job.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Look, we cheated in
New York.
I ain't gonna hold you.
We cheated in New York.

Game two I mean, let's be real,we got one on the road.
New Game two I mean, let's bereal, we got one on the road.
New York's a very hostile place.
I don't know if you're going toget two in a row.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
But yeah, I also have
the Knicks winning game two.
I have the Knicks winning gametwo, but I have this series
going to seven.
I want to say the pace is bad.
I'm going to just hold off onmy final thought.
I'm going to wait until game.
I really want to wait untilgame seven and see how it feels,
but I just want to game sevenfor one, two.
I think it's going to go togame seven.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Let's go ahead.
Hold on what you mean?
You want to wait until gameseven.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
What I want to get to
the bottom and see how I feel.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Four minutes left to
pick a winner.
Whatever way you do it, bro,pick a winner.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I said Pacers.
That's what my gut is tellingme.
But hey, I have the right tochange my answer when game seven
comes.
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
He's going to wait
until game seven.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
with three seconds
left Something about yeah, man,
I'm going with the Pacers, we upback.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, I knew the
Pacers was going to do it the
whole time.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't know who's
going to win.
I think the Pacers is going towin.
I'm just not confident.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Watching what I watch
, I would think the Knicks
should win.
But hell, I mean the Pacers.
Look, they must have got aleprechaun up there or something
, I don't know they gotsomething.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
They got something,
but let's go ahead and stop here
.
I think they're lucky.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
A lot of the faces is
lucky nowadays.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
They keep doing the
same and it's the same
schematics every time.
Y'all down 15.
Y'all hit a bunch of threes.
Halliburton get the ball.
Boom.
It happened every time.
That's the game plan, butthat's our fault that these
teams can't close.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
They can't close the
game.
That's our fault that multipleteams can't close the game.
Look like you said it's beenthe game plan.
We've been doing it formultiple series.
Ain't nobody else stopped tostop it?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
That's how it looks
yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
They be trying hell.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
And somehow you end
up with Mr Thompson on
Halliburton and he's hitting thechoke symbol, thinking he
closed the game.
I know, nigga, your foot was onthe line.
You're doing too much, look,yeah, I didn't like yeah.
I liked it, but I didn't at thesame time I I didn't like.
yeah, I liked it, but I didn'tat the same time I was about to
say I did like it because youknow you talking your shit, but
your foot was on the line, likehe was like oh shit, let me run
back out here.
Shit it's make, or?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
break, when I seen
that the game was going overtime
, I was like Tyrese, you got towin, you have to win.
Yeah you got to win, but theywon.
It's going to be an iconicmoment for years to come.
He's going to be up there withReggie Miller.
Anytime they post ReggieMiller's choke celebration
(23:33):
picture, they're going to posthis right next to him Can we
have a conversation, though Likea small one.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
What's up, don't say
nothing crazy.
I'm not going to say nothingcrazy, I'm going to get on this
body Go.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Look, don't say
nothing crazy.
I'm not gonna say nothing crazy, I'm gonna get on this party go
.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
They be saying look,
they be talking about how Jason
Tatum be doing all this, allthis damn you know, dick riding
and whatnot, trying to be youknow somebody that he ain't.
What about Halliburton?
He?
Ain't he being who he is.
Is he being who he is?
It's not like he wanna just beReggie Miller at this point.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
That's the first time
he's really done something
similar to somebody he's wearingthe Reggie Miller shirts doing
everything I mean.
I understand you playing forthe franchise.
I think that's just payinghomage to the best player in the
franchise.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
He's paying homage,
okay, or is it super glazing?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I mean, hold on, I
don't think he's glazing, I
think he like you know, reggie,calling the game.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I mean this for you,
big bruh, this for you.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Big homie.
Let's be real.
No, you right, he know Reggie'sover calling the game.
That's why he did the chokeserve.
Yeah, you right, it'sabsolutely.
But that's who he is, though.
He's a confident dude,especially late in the game.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
where is daddy at man
?
Bring that nigga daddy up,that'll shake the table.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Bro was on the court.
Hey, bro, sit your ass down,shake the table after that shot
first off, I thought I saw thatI didn't know that was his dad.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I was like damn that,
look like that dude, look like
gilly the kid.
I wasn't sure if that was thedaddy or not.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
If it, was what we
bro.
What are we doing?
Sit down somewhere.
You already cautioned us,though.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's why he got in
the game.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I will tell you what
I did.
My highlight of the game eventhough we lost Cat, hit the
three over Miles Turner and thentapped James Johnson in the
chest.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
That's some heart you
got to give him.
That.
That's some heart.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I said damn boy.
But they used to play togetherso I was like I respect that,
that's some heart.
I said damn boy.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
But you know they
used to play together so I was
like I respect them.
I mean, that's still.
You know who that is.
That's a few people.
You don't fight in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Nah, they played
together in Minnesota.
It's all a little.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's somebody I'm
not antagonizing.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
He in street clothes,
he ain't gonna do nothing.
Nah, he ain't playing.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Oh, he was playing, I
could have sworn he had on a
collar shirt, he playing, hejust ain't playing.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
He just ain't playing
.
Yeah, that's the best way todescribe it.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
He playing.
He just ain't playing.
But yeah, so game one in thebooks, game two Friday, but
let's switch gears to the WestConference finals, which was
boring.
That man is shade he gets.
I'm a Wade fan and I knew Wadegot a crazy whistle, but Shea
(26:27):
gets an insane whistle.
The OKC thing honest to God,guys, I was watching it.
Okc started to run away with it.
I fell asleep on the game.
I ain't even going to lie toy'all, I fell asleep on it.
I woke up and realized, oh, okcwon.
That's what it's looking like.
More so, though, I do want totalk about OKC won 14-8.
I do want to talk about Sheawas officially announced the MVP
(26:51):
.
This was the latest theyannounced the MVP, for some odd
reason, but they did.
Shea won MVP.
Top three was Shea, jokic andGiannis.
Your thoughts on the boringgame one of the West Coast
Finals and, more importantly,your thoughts on Shea officially
being named the MVP of the NBA,being the third OKC player to
(27:14):
do so, with Russell Westbrookand Kevin Durant Q.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I mean, let's call it
.
We all knew he was the MVP.
For the past couple weeks myson was like who you think will
win the MVP?
It's Shay.
They just ain't announced ityet I already know who's going
to be the MVP.
We knew who it was going to be.
I do want to hear yourperspective because you said you
think it should be Joker I.
I do want to hear yourperspective because you said you
think it should be Joker.
I do want to hear why you saythat I think it should have been
(27:41):
SGA, because not only did heindividually, but look where his
team is.
They had the number one recordin the West by a good couple of
games.
Thoughts on game one.
My biggest takeaway from gameone is it ain't angled okay,
it's the second time.
Thoughts on game one.
My biggest thought to take awayfrom game one is is Ant ankle?
Okay?
Because it's the second, secondtime Ant that came up limping
(28:03):
on that ankle and he had to goback to the locker room.
Did you see, when he came backfrom the locker room, he wasn't
the same Ant.
He wasn't the same he ain't hadthat bounce on that three, like
he normally do, and then he quitattacking the basket.
If Ant ain't 100%, minnesotacan't win this game.
They can't win this serieswithout Ant being 100%.
(28:23):
I think that's without, I thinkthat's.
You know that ain't rocketscience.
You know what I'm saying,captain?
Obvious right there that I justsaid that Julius Randle ball
put up 20 points in the firsthalf.
Bro took like four shots in thesecond half.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I don't know what's
that.
If I'm hot, I'm coming out likea flamethrower in the second
half too especially once you seeAnangat.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
yeah, once you see
Anangat.
If you, julius Randle, like,alright, I'm the second best
player on this team, let me goget the ball, let me go put up
these baskets, let me try tocarry us, let me try to carry us
home.
Hell, minnesota shot 53s.
Y'all they playing that Bostongame.
Y'all think 15 of them.
Y'all probably should have notshot and drove to the basket in
(29:12):
an attempt to get the foul.
Yeah, I the basket and attemptto get the foul.
Yeah, I mean hindsight, me in2020, but I'm saying you
shouldn't be shooting 53s andy'all knew y'all wasn't making
it.
Now, I think I would giveMinnesota.
Minnesota does have some hope.
I think they was like one up.
I forgot the stat.
I was listening to BrianWinhart's name, the Hoop
(29:36):
Collector.
They had a bunch of open threes.
Minnesota did.
They just weren't making it.
So if they make some of thosethrees, the game might end up
being different, but you wasn'tmaking them.
So I think you should havetaken the basket.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, let me just go
ahead.
Jokers won the MVP.
I think Jokers should have wonthe MVP.
He averaged a triple-double.
I think he's head and shouldersthe best player in the league.
It is to the point where it'slike you can give it to him
every year.
But you know, the NBA sometimesis a yield-turn league.
They did it with Joel.
(30:08):
Shea is a deserving player.
I just think he's playing in anera where there's someone head
and shoulders better than him,which is Joker, in an era where
someone's head and shouldersbetter than him, which is Joker.
But everybody always talksabout well, his team was the
best, which granted they was.
If that's the case, donovanMitchell, from our perspective,
(30:28):
should have got a lot more MVPlove.
Now, he did finish top five,fifth to be exact but if it's
more so, your team's successDonovan Mitchell should have
been getting a lot more lovethan what he did.
That's how I see it.
But I'm not saying Sheashouldn't have won it.
I just, if I was a voter, Iwould have voted for Joker and
(30:52):
if you guys was interested inhow the voting went, shea did
receive 71 first placeplacevotes, 29 second-place votes.
Joker received 29 first-placevotes and 71 second-place votes.
Nobody else received any firstor second-place votes.
Giannis received 88 third-placevotes, jason Taylor received 11
(31:16):
third place votes and DonovanMitchell received one third
place vote.
So that's how I lined up.
But, like I said, if it's abouta team success as well, Donovan
Mitchell should have been alittle bit higher on the MVP
ladder board.
Dq your thoughts on Sheawinning MVP in that boring game
(31:37):
one for the Western ConferenceFinals?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I wanted to.
I wanted to see the you knowTimberwolves do something
besides lose.
I had my money on them.
I wanted to see the New YorkMinnesota matchup.
You know y'all swap players woo, woo, woo.
This is, this is the storyline.
You know your coach'all swapplayers Woo, woo, woo.
This is the storyline.
You know your coach used to betheir coach.
Blah, blah, blah.
(32:01):
But man, ok, see, they're goingto smack whoever come in front
of them from here on out.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
They might.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
They got bodies.
Now, like I said, the Knicks ispretty deep.
I thought the Timberwolves waspretty deep.
Okc is deep boy.
What I say is three types ofwomen in this world and OKC is
that deep end boy.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
They definitely on
that deep end.
I do want to get you guys,before we get out here, the
thoughts of how you want to putit.
They call him the free throwmerchant, the crazy whistle man
Shay.
He gets to the line and a lotof them fouls is nothing, he's
just.
I don't know how he's doing it.
I don't know what type ofblackmail he has on some of
(32:57):
these refs.
He getting anything he wants,Anytime he looks like he's about
to fall, he gets a whistle.
Is that something you guys area fan of?
Do you think it's egregious?
Because some people have beensaying, like man, it's boring to
watch, because every time youturn on the game he's at the
free throw line shooting freethrows.
I don't want to watch somebodyshoot free throws all game.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You got to be a
friend of him because Jalen do
it all the time too.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
It's totally
different, bro, he's not a fine
merchant at all, bro.
He does more scoring than fromanywhere else besides the line.
Shea took two shots and had 15points yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Brunson had 14 free
throws tonight bro.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Tonight.
It's every night, bro, I'msaying how many shots he put up
30?
, 40?
, what am?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I going to do?
Where am I peeing at?
We going right now, every time,every night, how many fouls
Brunson has, how many free throwshots he take.
He does the same thing.
And then we're going to compareit to SGA he does the same
thing, they play the same way.
So I know you a fan though.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
I don't necessarily
care for SGA he ain't never been
my band.
He out there, move your bodylike a snake man.
That's how he be getting,because he be contorting out
there a bit.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Jalen Brunson took 14
free throws tonight, and Mr
Shea Gildress, alexander, healso took 14 free throws.
So you know, pretty, even,pretty, even Alexander, he also
took 14 free throws.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
So you know pretty
even, pretty even.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
They play the same
way, that's crazy.
I'm just calling house, I meanI'm saying but Brunson looked
like man, he looked like AI andChris Paul had a baby man.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
No, he don't, Don't
Stop.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
That is a wild
statement.
He is not a floor general likeChris Paul.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
That's my biggest the
AI stuff.
I can see it.
I don't see the Chris Paul.
He can get you six, seven, hecan get you seven, but nah, I
wouldn't call him a floorgeneral.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
No, he's not a floor
general.
I don't know why you came upwith that, but that's from your
perspective, chris Paul.
No, that's from yourperspective, quag.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
It's because Chris
Paul and AI had a baby.
You take a game from each one,okay.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
He's not even okay
From my perspective.
He's not even close to ChrisPaul, Not even close.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I feel what you're
saying.
You take a little bit and youput it in, they mix them
together and that's what youcome out with.
I feel what you're saying.
I just Okay, if not Chris Paul,then who?
I can see the AI.
I can see the AI.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I didn't want to say
AI and Derrick Rose, because
that's too similar to me.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, he ain't got
the athleticism that D Rose be.
Obviously.
He's like I don't want to sayPrime Derrick Williams to me.
Yeah, that's why I said DerrickWilliams, because he could do,
he was similar to Chris Powell,but just wasn't as good.
No shame, then again.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Derrick Williams used
his.
It was very shame he didn't getit, derrick.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Williams used his.
It was very cheap.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
He wasn't tall, but
he was a bigger body and was
able to get to the lane.
That's how Jalen Brunson ishe's not tall, but he's a bigger
body, able to slid his waythrough the lane and get to the
lane.
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I see Derrick
Williams and AI mixed together
and that's what you come outwith A solid player.
But, and you know, throw alittle sprinkle of that little
James Horton hunt for the foul,because you got Taylor Preston,
a little AI, a little DarrenWilliams and a little sprinkle
of that James Horton hunt forthe foul.
(36:48):
Boom, there, you got TaylorPreston.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Shout out to Sam
Preston.
He got him another MVP on hisbelt.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, shout out, but
he probably needs.
He wants him on thechampionship, though he do but
think about the drafts he had.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
He drafted James
Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kevin
Durant, Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka.
Like he done, drafted a bunchof dudes.
Imagine SGA was drafted by theclub when they got traded there
for Steelers.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
But he got rid of
weak-ass, damn Paul George.
He said man, I'll give you PaulGeorge, I'll give you Paul
George for SGA Clippers I thinkClippers, I think, was going to
get the better of that dealApparently not.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
They did not who
ain't getting a good deal,
philly.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Paul George.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
God trade.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
You, you guys got
anything.
Y'all want to get off yourchest before we get out of here.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
You know you got game
