you guys who listen and were talking about my echo 34 00:02:57,580 --> 00:02:58,580 issue 35 00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:03,340 We got it fixed, had some production issues, had to save some stuff 36 00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:07,940 But that issue is now fixed, the echo is fine, it is gone 37 00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:11,300 We know I have to worry about that, it was something to do with the production team 38 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,020 But we definitely got that fixed 39 00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:24,340 So again this is just a time sports episode 11 coming to you about the game 1 reaction 40 00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:31,340 show, it is one of the rare situations where it is the summer time 41 00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:33,980 I love doing what I call the instant release shows 42 00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:38,300 I am recording this at 10.09 am, you guys are having it for 12th 43 00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:42,300 It is one of those things where my instant reaction shows, if anything pops off, if anything 44 00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:48,580 happens you guys will hear it directly from me as soon as it happens 45 00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:53,500 There is a thing where my watch vibrates, I am checking it to make sure nothing is being 46 00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:54,500 told 47 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,980 That is not information coming out that you guys may want to hear about before the show 48 00:03:57,980 --> 00:04:00,940 releases or before I finish recording 49 00:04:00,940 --> 00:04:04,180 But again this is the show built around game 1 last night 50 00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:07,700 We will touch on some other NBA news like the Lakers coaching search 51 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:11,020 What is happening there, the battle between Shams and Wolves 52 00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:15,660 What is boiling out, of course we will talk about Jack's hot take 53 00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:17,460 Which I will discuss when we get to that point 54 00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:21,300 Anyway again follow all social media if you didn't hear in the intro 55 00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:25,460 And again thank you guys for writing with me through my echo issues 56 00:04:25,460 --> 00:04:31,780 Now you should be able to hear me 10,000% and not have to worry about the fact that 57 00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:35,780 there is an echo and it is weird and it is kind of hard to manage through the echo 58 00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:41,020 And I feel like some great stuff was happening in those episodes through the echo 59 00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:45,020 But anyway again the issue should be fixed 60 00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:48,660 We went through with our production team and we got it fixed 61 00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:53,700 So therefore that is taken care of Hopefully we don't have that issue again 62 00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:58,540 But if so I do and we know how to fix it now 63 00:04:58,540 --> 00:05:03,340 So that is something that we are going to take care of from there 64 00:05:03,340 --> 00:05:06,860 But anyway welcome into the show officially 65 00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:10,020 Welcome to the show we got all the back channel production stuff out the way 66 00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:13,580 Again love the intro by B-Roy he is dropping new music regularly 67 00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:14,580 Make sure you do that 68 00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:16,260 And of course as always we will link the YouTube show 69 00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:19,700 Because that should be coming back out in the next 24 to 48 hours 70 00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:22,860 Again my production team has been fixing one issue after another 71 00:05:22,860 --> 00:05:28,100 So the next 24 to 48 hours we will be doing that 72 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:30,740 The YouTube show will be out it has already been recorded 73 00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:33,100 And they are trying to fix a bunch of issues we have been having 74 00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:34,780 But they have taken care of it 75 00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:40,020 Anyway enough of the back channel business into the game last night 76 00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:41,020 Hello Chris Stats Porzingis 77 00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:47,220 Hey welcome to the NBA finals I guess 78 00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:51,180 Game 1 was a clinic from the Boston Celtics 79 00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:55,420 It was the Boston Celtics at their best and probably the Mavericks at their worst 80 00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,060 The Boston Celtics rolled an incredibly crazy 3 point shooting outing 81 00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,620 They shot 16 of 42 from 3 82 00:06:02,620 --> 00:06:05,460 38% it felt bigger than that 83 00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:08,420 I think they went cold in the 4th 84 00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:11,220 And that's what brought their percentage down 85 00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:15,260 I'm going to try to get first half numbers really quickly 86 00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:21,300 But I know that they were scorching in the first half for sure 87 00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,780 Dallas' defense tightened down in the second half 88 00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:28,980 They even cut the 29 point lead down to 8 at one point 89 00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:33,220 But it's hard when you give that big of a lead to a really good team 90 00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:36,460 That's because Boston is in the finals for a reason 91 00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:38,300 They had an easy walk through the East 92 00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:39,620 But Boston is in the finals for a reason 93 00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:41,420 They're a really good basketball team 94 00:06:41,420 --> 00:06:42,420 You saw it last night 95 00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:45,180 They had a lineup 96 00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:51,340 It was Brown Tatum, Derek White, Drew and Porzingis 97 00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:52,580 All 5 could dribble 98 00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:54,260 All 5 could play defense for their position 99 00:06:54,260 --> 00:06:55,460 All 5 can shoot 100 00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:57,540 All 5 can drive the lane 101 00:06:57,540 --> 00:07:01,180 All 5 were total basketball players 102 00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:03,540 That were not any weakness on the floor 103 00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:05,780 And they can do the same thing with Al Horford instead of Porzingis 104 00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:08,940 They can do the same thing with Sam Houser instead of Derek White 105 00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:11,740 They're a really good basketball team 106 00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:14,220 They're a really deep basketball team 107 00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:17,420 Brad Stevens, the general manager and president of operations 108 00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:19,460 May be better than Brad Stevens, the coach 109 00:07:19,460 --> 00:07:22,060 Which is saying something because Brad Stevens, the coach 110 00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:24,900 Was routinely in East Conference Finals 111 00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:26,940 With a much younger version of this team 112 00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:30,540 So kudos to them for building such a good team 113 00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:34,660 But anyway they shot 16 of 42 from 3, 38% 114 00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:36,220 Nobody made more than 3 115 00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:37,860 It was a stat came out last night 116 00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:39,980 They were the first team in NBA Finals history 117 00:07:39,980 --> 00:07:42,700 To have 7 different players hit at least 2 3s 118 00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:47,300 Like it was spread to bombs away 119 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:48,980 It was spread to bombs 120 00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:50,740 They were raining from everywhere 121 00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:53,740 Porzingis shooting 30 footers 122 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:55,220 They rotate, rotate 123 00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:57,740 They do a slow double team 124 00:07:57,740 --> 00:07:58,740 Easy pass over top 125 00:07:58,740 --> 00:07:59,580 Rotated again 126 00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:01,420 Bomb a 3 again 127 00:08:01,420 --> 00:08:07,020 It was insane to watch the Boston Celtics shoot the ball last night 128 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:08,700 The Celtics shoot the most 3s in the league 129 00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,060 They make the most 3s in the league 130 00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:11,500 They're coming to shoot the 3 131 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,020 It was one time they got like 3 or 4 offensive rounds 132 00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:16,420 In the same possession in the 4th quarter 133 00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:19,060 And every shot they shot was a 3 134 00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:20,580 Nobody took anything but a 3 135 00:08:20,580 --> 00:08:23,260 So they're going to get a 3 up 136 00:08:23,260 --> 00:08:26,460 That's something that Dallas has to be prepared for in game 2 137 00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:28,820 They have these 3 day breaks between every game 138 00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:31,540 Besides game 3 and 4 139 00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:32,540 Not 3 days 140 00:08:32,540 --> 00:08:34,540 They play on like yesterday 141 00:08:34,540 --> 00:08:36,260 Which was Thursday 142 00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:38,340 They're not going to play again until Sunday 143 00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:39,420 Oh, Saturday 144 00:08:39,420 --> 00:08:40,940 You're off Friday 145 00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:41,580 You're off Saturday 146 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:42,540 You play again Sunday 147 00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:43,740 And that's kind of the break 148 00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:46,340 All the games except between game 3 and 4 149 00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:48,820 A little bit more spread out schedule 150 00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,340 Than what it used to be 151 00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:51,980 The old schedule used to be 152 00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:54,780 The only time you got the extra day 153 00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:56,460 Was if the cities changed 154 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,020 So between 1 and 2 155 00:08:58,020 --> 00:08:59,460 It was just one day off 156 00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:02,660 Between 2 and 3 was the 2 days 157 00:09:02,660 --> 00:09:04,460 However, because the old system was 158 00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:07,380 Games 3, 4, and 5 were on the lower C 159 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:08,580 Or the other team 160 00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:10,060 You had to be every other day 161 00:09:10,060 --> 00:09:12,420 And then you would get the 2 days again 162 00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:14,300 For games between game 5 and 6 163 00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,900 And it would be the 1 day break for game 7 164 00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:22,580 Even when they switched to 165 00:09:22,580 --> 00:09:23,580 The new style 166 00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:26,100 The making the final like all the other series 167 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:27,460 2-2-1-1 168 00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:29,180 Again, between game 1 and 2 169 00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:30,180 Between games 3 and 4 170 00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:31,300 It was only one day 171 00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:32,220 And then the 2-day breaks 172 00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:33,900 Were between the city changes 173 00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:35,780 This series regardless of location 174 00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:37,300 It's 2 days with breaks 175 00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,580 Except for games 3 and 4 176 00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:41,580 So it's a little bit more spread out 177 00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:42,780 So Dallas has a little bit more time 178 00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:45,460 To recover and get their brains under them 179 00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:47,460 Dallas was brick city 180 00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:49,300 They were kind of the new lobby city 181 00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:50,540 Entering the game 182 00:09:50,540 --> 00:09:51,700 They were brick city 183 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:53,540 First of all, I only recall one lobby 184 00:09:53,540 --> 00:09:55,420 Happening successfully 185 00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,180 The Boston Celtics had a great 186 00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:58,620 Game plan for staying in the lobby 187 00:09:58,620 --> 00:09:59,620 And I kind of 188 00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:01,620 It was kind of cool watching them play 189 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:03,140 And LeBron spoke about how smart 190 00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:05,420 Joe Mazzulli is on his podcast 191 00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:06,820 You could see it 192 00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:08,140 When a lot of times 193 00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:10,940 Dallas came around that pick 194 00:10:10,940 --> 00:10:13,100 They were coming in lively 195 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:15,580 Or Washington or Jones 196 00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:17,340 With Skar Gafford 197 00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:19,180 Would kind of just sneak away 198 00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:20,740 From the dunker spot right to the block 199 00:10:20,740 --> 00:10:22,740 Floater dunk 200 00:10:22,740 --> 00:10:24,580 Well, when they were doing the sneak 201 00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:26,300 Even they were screen away 202 00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:28,180 Somebody was tagging 203 00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:30,260 That sneaker for like a better time 204 00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:32,100 So you weren't getting 205 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:33,700 Just a two on one with Luca 206 00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:34,500 You're going to stop the lob 207 00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:35,780 And let me into the layup 208 00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:36,460 Or you can stop my layup 209 00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:37,620 And let me get the lob 210 00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:39,060 It was 2 v 2 211 00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:40,580 And then the person who got screened 212 00:10:40,580 --> 00:10:42,340 Was rotating to the shooter 213 00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:43,460 In the short corner 214 00:10:43,460 --> 00:10:46,700 Or they were just giving that shot up 215 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,620 Boston seemed very comfortable 216 00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:50,300 Letting 217 00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:53,180 Dallas shoot non-corner threes 218 00:10:53,180 --> 00:10:55,260 In basketball it's called above the break 219 00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:57,500 Because the arc curves perfectly 220 00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,260 And then it kind of breaks the curve 221 00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:01,940 And goes straight for the sideline 222 00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:02,820 Dallas was 223 00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:04,700 Sorry, Boston was very comfortable 224 00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:06,420 Allowing Dallas to shoot 225 00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:09,060 Above the break threes 226 00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:11,100 Whether it was PJ Washington 227 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,660 Hell, Luca shot him 228 00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:13,660 However he wanted to shoot him 229 00:11:13,660 --> 00:11:15,100 Kyrie shot him 230 00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:16,780 I don't know what the analytical breakdown is 231 00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:18,660 Boston or Dallas in the regular season 232 00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:19,980 Even in the playoffs 233 00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,500 But they guarded the corner 234 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:22,780 Way harder than they guarded 235 00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:23,900 Above the break 236 00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:24,540 And even like I said 237 00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:25,380 The wing to the corner 238 00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:26,620 Is not that much of a harder shot 239 00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:28,580 In terms of distance or even angle 240 00:11:28,580 --> 00:11:30,460 But they were letting them shoot 241 00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:31,500 Above the break 242 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:32,860 Closing out in the corners 243 00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:34,980 So it had to be an analytical thing 244 00:11:34,980 --> 00:11:36,940 That had to be something Joe Masula saw 245 00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:38,300 That he wanted to take advantage of 246 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:39,260 In this series 247 00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:41,740 And wanted to force Dallas to shoot shots 248 00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:43,380 That clearly 249 00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:46,460 They're not all that comfortable shooting 250 00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:50,580 Because 251 00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:51,900 They 252 00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:53,740 Were not making them 253 00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:56,180 And it wasn't like 254 00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:58,900 The sense of urgency from the Boston Celtics 255 00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:00,340 Was any faster 256 00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:01,300 It was just 257 00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:02,100 Oh they're going to shoot that 258 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,180 Above the break three 259 00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:03,820 Go for it 260 00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:04,940 Do you want that wing shot? 261 00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:05,340 Shoot it 262 00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:06,140 You want top of the key? 263 00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:07,060 Go for it 264 00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:07,500 Whether I said 265 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:08,700 Whether it was Kleba 266 00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:09,740 Washington 267 00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:12,380 Kyrie 268 00:12:12,380 --> 00:12:13,860 Tim Hardaway Jr. came in 269 00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:15,180 They let him shoot him like 270 00:12:15,180 --> 00:12:15,940 You want to shoot him? 271 00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:17,980 Go for it 272 00:12:17,980 --> 00:12:18,900 I'm going to say in the math 273 00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:20,780 Shot seven or 27 274 00:12:20,780 --> 00:12:21,860 26% 275 00:12:21,860 --> 00:12:23,380 So if you're looking at the percentages 276 00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:25,100 First of all, 12% difference 277 00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,660 That's big 278 00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:30,140 Boston got up 15 more 279 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:32,620 Dallas made nine less 280 00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:34,580 So the game was a what? 281 00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:36,140 19 point final 282 00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:38,460 It's 27 point difference in the three point line 283 00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:41,820 Every other stat was about the same 284 00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:45,180 In terms of just raw box score numbers 285 00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:48,260 Every other stat was about the same 286 00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:50,020 You just got out shot 287 00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:52,500 By 27 points 288 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,060 From the three point line 289 00:12:55,060 --> 00:12:56,460 Even looking at the box score 290 00:12:56,460 --> 00:12:57,420 Quarter for quarter 291 00:12:57,420 --> 00:12:59,300 It was the first quarter 292 00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:00,780 Boston won the first quarter 293 00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,540 By 17 294 00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:03,180 Second quarter 295 00:13:03,180 --> 00:13:06,020 Boston wins by four 296 00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:08,500 Dallas won the second half by three 297 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,500 You lost it in the first quarter 298 00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:11,180 But I'm going to get to that 299 00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:11,660 I'm going to get to that 300 00:13:11,660 --> 00:13:13,140 Why that's important later 301 00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:15,340 But just looking at the full stats 302 00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:17,700 Boston shot a little better from the field 303 00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,180 Way better from three 304 00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:20,740 Boston had three more turnovers 305 00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:25,700 They had four more total rebounds 306 00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,300 Points in the paint went to Dallas, of course 307 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,740 Because Boston reigned in everything 308 00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:33,860 And then the free throw line was even 309 00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:35,620 12-19 to 13-19 310 00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:37,660 It was the three point line 311 00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:40,020 Seven to 27 versus 16 to 42 312 00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:40,940 Like I said, you got out shot 313 00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:42,900 By 27 points from the three point line 314 00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:46,660 You lost the game by 18 315 00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:47,260 18 316 00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:48,740 Lost the game by 18 points 317 00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:51,180 And lost three point line by 27 318 00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:52,460 There's your ball game 319 00:13:52,460 --> 00:13:53,780 Now, do I expect the Dallas Mavericks 320 00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:55,540 To be able to keep up with Boston from three? 321 00:13:55,540 --> 00:13:56,140 No 322 00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:57,860 Do I expect them to keep it close? 323 00:13:57,860 --> 00:13:58,860 Er? 324 00:13:58,860 --> 00:13:59,860 Yes 325 00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:00,780 Um 326 00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:03,980 Boston came out absolutely raining 327 00:14:03,980 --> 00:14:04,780 In the first quarter 328 00:14:04,780 --> 00:14:05,740 It was insane 329 00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:08,860 It was like whatever film study they had 330 00:14:08,860 --> 00:14:11,140 On, um 331 00:14:11,140 --> 00:14:13,060 Whatever film study they had 332 00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:15,140 On Dallas's defense 333 00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:16,700 They were prepared 334 00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,980 And they picked it apart in the first quarter 335 00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:21,300 Raining from everywhere 336 00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:23,300 Porzingis couldn't miss 337 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:27,740 I mean, he was catching the ball high block 338 00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:30,140 Just turning 339 00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:31,380 Little elbow 340 00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:32,700 Little shoulder 341 00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:33,500 Um, taller than you 342 00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,300 Shoot the mirror and jump for cash 343 00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,460 It was insane 344 00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:38,820 Dallas has to find a way 345 00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:39,980 And I'm talking about what I need to do later 346 00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:42,020 But Dallas has to find a way 347 00:14:42,020 --> 00:14:44,140 To either slow the Celtics down from three 348 00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:47,740 Or to up their three point percentage 349 00:14:47,740 --> 00:14:50,220 But let's get into the individual gameplay 350 00:14:50,220 --> 00:14:52,340 I said this won't be a long episode at all, guys 351 00:14:52,340 --> 00:14:54,300 Um, maybe 25-30 minutes 352 00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:55,260 Oh, but this 353 00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:57,340 Let's get into the individual gameplay 354 00:14:57,340 --> 00:15:00,380 Brown and Porzingis combined for 42 points 355 00:15:00,380 --> 00:15:02,580 12 rebounds, six blocks 356 00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:04,940 On 60% shooting between the two of them 357 00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:06,020 Um, and 358 00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:07,420 It was one of the situations where 359 00:15:07,420 --> 00:15:08,660 It was pretty evenly split 360 00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:09,380 I think 361 00:15:09,380 --> 00:15:11,300 Brown might have had a couple more points 362 00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:12,780 Porzingis had a couple more rebounds 363 00:15:12,780 --> 00:15:13,940 And they both had three blocks 364 00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:15,380 And they both had highlight blocks 365 00:15:15,380 --> 00:15:17,660 Porzingis had his first game back 366 00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,100 Running with the point guard 367 00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:21,220 Blocking it clean at the rim on a dunk attempt 368 00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:22,580 Running with Jayden Hardy 369 00:15:22,580 --> 00:15:24,220 Um, 370 00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:25,500 Brown meeting 371 00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:26,700 Somebody at the rim on a dunk attempt 372 00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:28,420 Blocking them 373 00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:30,340 Brown had a big block on Kyrie 374 00:15:30,340 --> 00:15:32,780 Porzingis blocked the Kyrie shot 375 00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:37,220 You know, absolutely wild, right? 376 00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:40,820 Now, they had 42-12 on 60% 377 00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:45,340 Luka had 32 and 10, sorry, 38 and 10 378 00:15:45,340 --> 00:15:48,660 On 12 and 26, about 42% give or take 379 00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:50,420 I did math quickly in my head just now 380 00:15:50,420 --> 00:15:53,300 Um, about 45ish percent somewhere in there 381 00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,580 Um, so he basically canceled the production of Brown and Porzingis 382 00:15:56,580 --> 00:15:57,820 Not as efficiently 383 00:15:57,820 --> 00:16:00,820 But he canceled the production of Brown and Porzingis 384 00:16:00,820 --> 00:16:03,380 Kyrie, everyone's gotta give you more 385 00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:04,620 It's just 386 00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:06,460 It's just the truth 387 00:16:06,460 --> 00:16:07,620 Por- 388 00:16:07,620 -->

hasn't been done besides 392 00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:16,420 David Robb, though, with Shaq 393 00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:17,340 David Robinson? 394 00:16:17,340 --> 00:16:18,260 One of them 395

00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:27,780 Besides Luka Doncic to have 30 and 10 in their NBA Finals debut 399 00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:29,740 The only one 400 00:16:29,740 --> 00:16:30,860 Ever 401 00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:32,060 Not Jordan 402 00:16:32,060 --> 00:16:33,340 Not LeBron 403 00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:34,500 Not Magic 404 00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:35,820 Not Kareem 405 00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:40,420 Tim Duncan and Luka Doncic are the only ones in NBA Finals 406 00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:41,420 History 407 00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:44,060 To have 30 and 10 in their Finals game debut 408 00:16:44,060 --> 00:16:45,820 Ever 409 00:16:45,820 --> 00:16:47,220 Not even Wilt 410 00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:49,220 And if you did something Wilt ain't do 411 00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:53,500 When it comes to scoring and rebounding, you're doing something 412 00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,220 Luka Doncic and Tim Duncan are the only ones 413 00:16:56,220 --> 00:17:00,060 Luka had 32 and 38 and 10 414 00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:03,620 The stat that jumped out to me last night 415 00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:04,820 I watched the whole game 416 00:17:04,820 --> 00:17:05,660 I watched until the- 417 00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:06,660 Okay, I don't watch the whole game 418 00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:09,580 I watched it until the Mavericks pulled their starters 419 00:17:09,580 --> 00:17:10,740 I can admit that 420 00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:12,460 I watched until the Mavericks pulled their starters 421 00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:14,180 At that point you throw it in the towel 422 00:17:14,180 --> 00:17:16,780 This doesn't matter anyway, right? 423 00:17:16,780 --> 00:17:19,820 So I watched until the Mavericks pulled their starters 424 00:17:19,820 --> 00:17:23,460 It was about 4-45ish left 425 00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:27,540 Jason Kidd throws in the towel 426 00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:29,580 This game 427 00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:31,420 The stat that I looked at 428 00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:35,340 I looked at two stats and I said, okay, this is gonna be 429 00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:36,420 The situation 430 00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:38,500 This is why it happened 431 00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,340 This is the reason it happened, right? 432 00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:46,740 Luka Doncic had one assist 433 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:50,900 As much as Luka Doncic has the ball 434 00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:54,940 Luka Doncic had one assist 435 00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,380 Just the one 436 00:17:57,380 --> 00:18:01,020 And to be honest, I think it was the only lob that they got 437 00:18:01,020 --> 00:18:02,460 I think that was the only assist Luka got 438 00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,620 He didn't get none of his signature drive 439 00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:06,820 Pass out assists 440 00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:11,740 And he didn't get any of his 441 00:18:11,740 --> 00:18:14,740 His typical stuff he normally gets 442 00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:17,620 I mean, he usually gets three or four lob assists a game 443 00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:20,860 Two, five or six kick corner threes a game 444 00:18:20,860 --> 00:18:22,180 And he kind of looks up into 445 00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:24,780 Not looks up, but in the flow of the game 446 00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:27,420 Gets another couple of assists 447 00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:28,140 None of that happened 448 00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,340 He had one assist 449 00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:32,060 The other assisted Kyrie Irving 450 00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:34,740 Kyrie Irving played an unvary Kyrie Irving-like game 451 00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:37,620 I think, and Kyrie said after the game 452 00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:40,020 He expected the fans to be louder 453 00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:42,380 And I think that he went into the game 454 00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:44,500 Thinking of the crowd 455 00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:46,420 And I think thinking of the crowd 456 00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:48,340 And what they would be like 457 00:18:48,340 --> 00:18:50,260 And then they weren't that 458 00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:51,940 They weren't nearly as loud as I thought 459 00:18:51,940 --> 00:18:53,940 They were going to be when he got the ball 460 00:18:53,940 --> 00:18:56,580 Um 461 00:18:56,580 --> 00:18:58,300 And I think it may have affected him mentally 462 00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:00,860 I think he prepared to go in as ultimate villain 463 00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:02,820 And he was just disliked 464 00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:04,300 Like, he wouldn't even hate it 465 00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:06,380 He was just disliked 466 00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:08,100 And he shot horrible 467 00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:09,900 Six of 19 468 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:12,020 Did not get to the free throw line 469 00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:13,540 He finished with 12 points 470 00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:16,100 Three bounce, two assists 471 00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:16,900 It was bad 472 00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:18,020 And it wasn't even like 473 00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:20,940 They were playing amazing defense to him the whole game 474 00:19:20,940 --> 00:19:21,460 It was game 475 00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:23,940 It was two or three wide open shots 476 00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:25,900 I can recall vividly 477 00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:26,620 That he missed 478 00:19:26,620 --> 00:19:29,300 Especially the big open three 479 00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:31,940 Mavs had charged from 29 480 00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:33,780 I think I could have eaten either eight or 10 481 00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:35,180 But they were like within 482 00:19:35,180 --> 00:19:37,220 Very well within striking distance 483 00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:38,660 Of what they wanted to do 484 00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:40,300 I think they were even 485 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:42,540 I think they might have been eight points down 486 00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:43,580 Ball swings around 487 00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:44,820 Tips out, Kyrie rebounds 488 00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:46,740 Something of that nature 489 00:19:46,740 --> 00:19:48,500 He gets an open three 490 00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:49,220 And it's one of those 491 00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:50,740 Boston had called a timeout when they were 492 00:19:50,740 --> 00:19:52,340 They were like 15 493 00:19:52,340 --> 00:19:53,580 He hits that shot 494 00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:55,180 Mavs are down five 495 00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:56,940 Lucas already rolling like 496 00:19:56,940 --> 00:19:57,380 Let's go 497 00:19:57,380 --> 00:19:58,060 He's already jumping 498 00:19:58,060 --> 00:19:59,060 He's probably head up and down like 499 00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:00,140 Let's do this 500 00:20:00,140 --> 00:20:01,140 Lucas coming back 501 00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:02,420 Lucas got the energy back 502 00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:03,620 The bigs are flying around 503 00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:05,020 Lively throwing people out of the way 504 00:20:05,020 --> 00:20:07,100 Like you can see 505 00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:08,100 You can keep feeling it 506 00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:10,220 I'm sitting watching it at home going 507 00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:10,820 My God 508 00:20:10,820 --> 00:20:12,980 Dallas might come back in this game 509 00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:14,100 People are starting to tweet out 510 00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:15,660 If Dallas wins this game 511 00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:17,140 Like 512 00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:17,580 Right 513 00:20:17,580 --> 00:20:19,260 And Kyrie has a wing three 514 00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:21,020 Again, that above the break three 515 00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:22,820 Nobody really closed out on it 516 00:20:22,820 --> 00:20:23,900 Shot it 517 00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:24,900 Planked it 518 00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:26,420 Bang bang 519 00:20:26,420 --> 00:20:27,380 You're down 14 520 00:20:27,380 --> 00:20:29,580 And all the energy's back in the building 521 00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:31,780 You can just see the Mavs fans like 522 00:20:31,780 --> 00:20:32,740 Oh, that was our shot 523 00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:33,860 Like even I was at home going 524 00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:35,420 That was the shot 525 00:20:35,420 --> 00:20:37,100 Like that was your 526 00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:38,780 That was your comeback swing 527 00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:40,060 You had to hit that shot 528 00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:41,540 You're down five 529 00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:43,580 Boston calls him the time out 530 00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:45,700 Kyrie feels like I got my shot back 531 00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:47,260 Lucas thinks he has his partner back 532 00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:49,220 Like it's just so much 533 00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:50,740 Was there in that one shot 534 00:20:50,740 --> 00:20:52,700 He missed it 535 00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:53,780 And then bang bang 536 00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:55,060 Boston threes 537 00:20:55,060 --> 00:20:55,540 Or Boston 538 00:20:55,540 --> 00:20:56,540 This was a Boston three 539 00:20:56,540 --> 00:20:57,900 And then a Boston and one 540 00:20:57,900 --> 00:20:58,740 Or something like that 541 00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:00,780 Bro, Brown hits a three 542 00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:01,460 And I think it a 543 00:21:01,460 --> 00:21:02,460 And one 544 00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:04,220 Or those are back to back big plays 545 00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:05,020 Dallas instead 546 00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:06,540 Dallas calls the time out 547 00:21:06,540 --> 00:21:07,820 The crowd's going crazy 548 00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:10,820 And you're never closer than that again 549 00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:12,860 And that's the kind of stuff 550 00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:14,740 That 551 00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:16,260 You have to take advantage of 552 00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:18,540 When you have the chance 553 00:21:18,540 --> 00:21:19,740 And then they didn't, right? 554 00:21:19,740 --> 00:21:22,260 And so Kyrie even shot horribly 555 00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:25,260 I don't expect Kyrie to play that bad again 556 00:21:25,260 --> 00:21:26,140 Ever 557 00:21:26,140 --> 00:21:27,780 Supermion especially on a big stage like this 558 00:21:27,780 --> 00:21:28,620 He knows that stage 559 00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,460 He knows what he has to do 560 00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:32,820 In order to be the 561 00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:35,340 One B to Lucas one A 562 00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:37,580 Because Lucas is going to come and give you 35 563 00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:41,100 They guarded Lucas about as well 564 00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,420 As you could guard him 565 00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:44,340 And he had 38 and 10 566 00:21:44,340 --> 00:21:45,700 Like so 567 00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:47,220 What they did was they made him a scorer 568 00:21:47,220 --> 00:21:48,780 You're not going to be a scorer and a passer 569 00:21:48,780 --> 00:21:49,580 You're going to get your points 570 00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:50,620 We understand that 571 00:21:50,620 --> 00:21:51,620 We're going to do whatever we can 572 00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:52,300 To not have you 573 00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,380 To have your assists be ineffective 574 00:21:55,380 --> 00:21:56,740 So they kept Lucas assists down 575 00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:58,580 They kept Kyrie Irving down in general 576 00:21:58,580 --> 00:21:59,820 As in he missed some opportunities 577 00:21:59,820 --> 00:22:01,740 He normally makes 578 00:22:01,740 --> 00:22:03,260 Because it wasn't for defense 579 00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:04,380 Like they asked you how they 580 00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:05,580 Like how do you slow down 581 00:22:05,580 --> 00:22:06,340 Or start Kyrie Irving 582 00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:07,460 He said pray 583 00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:10,380 So clearly it wasn't for defensive acumen 584 00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:12,460 It was one of those off nights 585 00:22:12,460 --> 00:22:13,740 Dallas had an off night 586 00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:15,420 But we spoke about it going to the series 587 00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:16,860 I figured Boston would win two games 588 00:22:16,860 --> 00:22:17,740 I said 589 00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:19,660 Tatum and Brown is going to get you one 590 00:22:19,660 --> 00:22:20,980 Probably 591 00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:21,620 In perfect honesty 592 00:22:21,620 --> 00:22:23,660 I think the series is going seven 593 00:22:23,660 --> 00:22:25,060 I'd have Dallas to win it 594 00:22:25,060 --> 00:22:28,140 Dallas is six still very much alive 595 00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:30,500 I think Dallas is going to win it still 596 00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:33,340 But 597 00:22:33,340 --> 00:22:35,860 You have a situation where I said 598 00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:37,260 Brown and Tatum will get you a game 599 00:22:37,260 --> 00:22:38,380 Where they'll just go get 600 00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:40,220 You know 27, 28 a piece 601 00:22:40,220 --> 00:22:41,700 They'll go get you a game 602 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:43,500 I said the shooters will get you a game 603 00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:45,780 And then Dallas being completely inept 604 00:22:45,780 --> 00:22:47,740 Will get you a game 605 00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:48,980 Oh and I said Boston 606 00:22:48,980 --> 00:22:52,020 Fourth way of winning is a bench game 607 00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:54,140 They kind of got two of the games 608 00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:55,740 In one 609 00:22:55,740 --> 00:22:57,660 Three of the games in one 610 00:22:57,660 --> 00:22:59,780 I said Boston has 16, 17, and three 611 00:22:59,780 --> 00:23:00,740 And he's going to win the game 612 00:23:00,740 --> 00:23:02,180 You kind of got three in the games 613 00:23:02,180 --> 00:23:03,580 Mixed in one 614 00:23:03,580 --> 00:23:06,980 Bench for Zengis went crazy 615 00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:09,140 He carried the bench 616 00:23:09,140 --> 00:23:11,780 The shooters made 16 threes 617 00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:12,780 And 618 00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:15,420 Dallas shot horribly from three 619 00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:17,340 Because if Dallas makes 620 00:23:17,340 --> 00:23:18,420 Other than Dallas makes five 621 00:23:18,420 --> 00:23:20,660 Dallas goes 12 for 27 from three 622 00:23:20,660 --> 00:23:23,340 Especially meaningful early in the game threes 623 00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:24,300 Dallas may win the game 624 00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:26,060 Because he's still charged 625 00:23:26,060 --> 00:23:26,940 And I still look at it 626 00:23:26,940 --> 00:23:29,420 I still look at the situation of 627 00:23:29,420 --> 00:23:30,540 If you take the first quarter out 628 00:23:30,540 --> 00:23:32,020 With a loss by 17 629 00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:34,540 Dallas loses by two 630 00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:36,540 It's dead even though the three quarters 631 00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:38,700 And if not like the old Boston packed it in 632 00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:40,220 Dallas charged 633 00:23:40,220 --> 00:23:41,660 And Boston pushed it back out 634 00:23:41,660 --> 00:23:42,780 But Dallas charged 635 00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:45,100 So if you take away the first quarter 636 00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,820 Dallas loses the game by two 637 00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:49,420 A lot of different stuff 638 00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:50,460 And I'm going to shift a little bit 639 00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:52,820 But a lot of different stuff 640 00:23:52,820 --> 00:23:54,380 What does Dallas do? 641 00:23:54,380 --> 00:23:55,420 So now I guess the question is 642 00:23:55,420 --> 00:23:56,460 What does Dallas do? 643 00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:57,500 In the rest of the series 644 00:23:57,500 --> 00:23:58,500 How 645 00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:00,100 What is your plan for game two? 646 00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:01,180 One you gotta guard 647 00:24:01,180 --> 00:24:02,500 However you guard a three point line 648 00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,340 In quarters two through four 649 00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:05,500 Do that 650 00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,340 Because your coverage in quarter one 651 00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:09,700 Got torched 652 00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:11,380 So whatever your coverage design is 653 00:24:11,380 --> 00:24:12,780 Whatever your coverage ideas is 654 00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:14,060 For quarters two through four 655 00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:16,540 Do a whole bunch of that 656 00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:18,260 Make sure that if you're going to double 657 00:24:18,260 --> 00:24:19,580 You double aggressively 658 00:24:19,580 --> 00:24:21,780 They're going to pick at Luka 659 00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:23,340 That much was incredibly obvious 660 00:24:23,340 --> 00:24:24,940 They're going to try to get Luka in switches 661 00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:26,460 They're going to try to pick at Luka 662 00:24:26,460 --> 00:24:27,980 And get Luka moving his feet 663 00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:29,580 Play defense 664 00:24:29,580 --> 00:24:30,380 It's classic 665 00:24:30,380 --> 00:24:31,820 Whenever there's a good score 666 00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:33,300 Whenever there's a great score 667 00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:34,900 Your first goal as an offense 668 00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:37,900 Tire his big so and so out 669 00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:38,660 He's being honest 670 00:24:38,660 --> 00:24:39,220 Tire him out 671 00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:41,380 That's the number one strategy 672 00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:43,420 For everybody when you're playing a great score 673 00:24:43,420 --> 00:24:44,860 Tire him out 674 00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:46,260 Wear him out 675 00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:47,860 Wear him down 676 00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:48,500 Like 677 00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:49,620 Because if you get him in picks 678 00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:50,300 You get him in switches 679 00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:51,220 You make him move his feet 680 00:24:51,220 --> 00:24:53,580 He should in theory have left off energy 681 00:24:53,580 --> 00:24:57,260 To kill you on offense 682 00:24:57,260 --> 00:24:59,580 And so that's going to be the strategy for Boston 683 00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:02,940 Dallas has to stay out of bad switches 684 00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:04,260 As much as possible 685 00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:06,180 And they're going to have to just defend their position 686 00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:08,500 Because they're rotating off of people 687 00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:10,300 They don't have to rotate off 688 00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:10,900 So like I said 689 00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:13,940 That line up where it's Drew, Derek White, Tatum, Brown and Porzingis 690 00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:16,300 There's nobody to rotate off 691 00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:17,740 So if you got in a bad switch 692 00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:19,340 You just have to play defense 693 00:25:19,340 --> 00:25:21,500 Because there's no rotating person 694 00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:22,140 Like you can't say 695 00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,620 Oh, when it's 5-0 in the game 696 00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:26,540 We're going to rotate off Horford 697 00:25:26,540 --> 00:25:28,820 Because Horford hits you for two big ones early 698 00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:29,220 You know what I'm saying 699 00:25:29,220 --> 00:25:31,820 So you're going to have to 700 00:25:31,820 --> 00:25:33,580 Find a way to 701 00:25:33,580 --> 00:25:35,020 Guard your position 702 00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:36,100 If you get switched 703 00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,860 Guard that man as you get switched on 704 00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:39,540 Or don't get switched 705 00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:40,340 Do whatever you can 706 00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:41,740 Fight and scrap 707 00:25:41,740 --> 00:25:44,260 And don't get switched off 708 00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,260 So easily 709 00:25:46,260 --> 00:25:47,100 Second thing you need to do 710 00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,140 Is get Kyra Irving shot 711 00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:51,060 You know 712 00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:54,220 6-19, if he's 10 of 19 713 00:25:54,220 --> 00:25:56,180 Who knows what kind of space it opens up 714 00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:56,860 Especially like I said 715 00:25:56,860 --> 00:25:58,020 Certain shots 716 00:25:58,020 --> 00:25:59,140 Like that three he missed 717 00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:00,900 Wide open above the break 718 00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:02,180 When they were thinking of down 8 719 00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:03,060 He cuts to the 5 720 00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:04,260 Who knows what happens 721 00:26:04,260 --> 00:26:06,020 You know 722 00:26:06,020 --> 00:26:08,380 That's a big one 723 00:26:08,380 --> 00:26:09,260 The one 724 00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:10,420 It was another one 725 00:26:10,420 --> 00:26:11,980 Two in the comeback 726 00:26:11,980 --> 00:26:12,500 He missed 727 00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:14,580 And kind of 728 00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:16,740 Dallin's is overcoming it 729 00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:17,860 But I think they were like 730 00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:19,340 Down 15 or so 731 00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:20,620 And they cut it down real real fast 732 00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:22,140 And then Kyra Irving misses an open one 733 00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:22,740 And it's like 734 00:26:22,740 --> 00:26:23,860 God like 735 00:26:23,860 --> 00:26:24,940 He kind of hurt the momentum 736 00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:26,220 And then Dallin's built it back up 737 00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:26,980 But again you don't know 738 00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:27,700 He hits that shot 739 00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:28,180 Time out 740 00:26:28,180 --> 00:26:29,940 Like we don't know what happens 741 00:26:29,940 --> 00:26:31,900 In these games if Kyra Irving makes these shots 742 00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:34,060 He has to be better 743 00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:34,900 And the third thing is 744 00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:36,700 Your shooters got to come to play 745 00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:39,140 Boston is one of the best home teams 746 00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:42,100 In the history of the NBA 747 00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,300 There's no way around it 748 00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:44,420 There's no conjecture 749 00:26:44,420 --> 00:26:45,420 There's no innuendo 750 00:26:45,420 --> 00:26:46,380 It's just a fact 751 00:26:46,380 --> 00:26:48,340 They lost four home games all season 752 00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:50,140 You play 41 753 00:26:50,140 --> 00:26:52,180 They lost four home games all season 754 00:26:52,180 --> 00:26:53,620 That's why I picked them as in six 755 00:26:53,620 --> 00:26:54,900 I said because they'll get one 756 00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:55,580 In the garden 757 00:26:55,580 --> 00:26:56,860 And then they got a whole serve 758 00:26:56,860 --> 00:26:58,300 Boston's actually 759 00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:00,780 They're above average road team 760 00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:03,060 Because usually your road record for an average team 761 00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:05,340 Is usually a little bit below 500 762 00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:07,060 Because you typically 763 00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:08,940 Go a little bit above 500 at home 764 00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:12,140 If you're a 41 or 41 team 765 00:27:12,140 --> 00:27:13,180 But they were 766 00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:15,220 You know 23 and 18 on the road 767 00:27:15,220 --> 00:27:18,940 So they're above 500 road team 768 00:27:18,940 --> 00:27:19,700 Or 20 769 00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:21,940 No they lost 18 games all year 770 00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:24,940 So they lost 14 at home 771 00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:26,020 I lost 14 on the road 772 00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,340 So 27 and 14 on the road 773 00:27:28,340 --> 00:27:30,900 Yeah they're a pretty legit road team too 774 00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,020 But you have a much higher chance of getting them 775 00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:34,620 Because Dallas is such a good home team 776 00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:35,980 In terms of their shooting 777 00:27:35,980 --> 00:27:38,980 So they're going to have to make their shots in game two 778 00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:41,140 They're going to have to defend the three point line in game two 779 00:27:41,140 --> 00:27:44,980 Because you can't lose the three point line by 27 points 780 00:27:44,980 --> 00:27:46,500 And expect to win 781 00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:47,700 It's just not going to happen 782 00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:48,380 Right 783 00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:49,980 That's what makes the NBA so interesting 784 00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:51,540 Is that 785 00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:53,780 A good team can play a bad team 786 00:27:53,780 --> 00:27:55,140 And that good team 787 00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:58,980 Oh sorry that bad team makes 17, 18 threes 788 00:27:58,980 --> 00:28:00,140 And beat the good team 789 00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:04,300 Because they outshot the good team by 30 points for three point line 790 00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:06,660 So it makes up for some stuff 791 00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:09,060 Dallas is already not considered the better team 792 00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:12,940 Now you have to identify who got outshot by 27 points for three point line 793 00:28:12,940 --> 00:28:14,540 You're not going to win 794 00:28:14,540 --> 00:28:16,420 Um 795 00:28:16,420 --> 00:28:17,980 I guarantee you that 796 00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:19,660 So they're going to have to close that gap 797 00:28:19,660 --> 00:28:22,260 On both the offense side and the defensive side 798 00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:24,060 They have any hope of winning game two 799 00:28:24,060 --> 00:28:25,820 I do have them average winning game two 800 00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:28,740 They showed me a lot in quarters two and three 801 00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:31,820 They showed me a lot in quarters two and three 802 00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:34,420 In terms of how they can compete with the Boston Celtics 803 00:28:34,420 --> 00:28:36,420 I think they win game two close 804 00:28:36,420 --> 00:28:38,540 And they go back to Dallas tied to 1-1 805 00:28:38,540 --> 00:28:41,860 And my Mavs in six is still very much alive 806 00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:43,580 If they were to lose game two 807 00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:45,740 My Mavs in six is all but dead 808 00:28:45,740 --> 00:28:46,940 Um 809 00:28:46,940 --> 00:28:51,260 And game three becomes the biggest game of Luke Adonis' career 810 00:28:51,260 --> 00:28:51,780 Um 811 00:28:51,780 --> 00:28:55,620 Because he has to win that game

was LeBron centric 927 00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:10,020 How do we maximize 928 00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:11,540 LeBron's two years 929 00:32:11,540 --> 00:32:12,980 How do we get people to respond 930 00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:14,540 To how LeBron likes to play 931 00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:16,620 How do we do this about LeBron 932 00:32:16,620 --> 00:32:18,500 What do we do with Bronnie 933 00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,540 Like it was pretty LeBron centric 934 00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:21,540 Now 935 00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:24,340 That's what I've been told 936 00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:25,420 I'm not reporting this 937 00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:26,620 That's what I've been told 938 00:32:26,620 --> 00:32:28,620 That the interview JJ Reddick had 939 00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:29,420 Basically it was about 940 00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:31,740 Maximizing the LeBron James career 941 00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:32,660 Not so much of 942 00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:33,980 How do I coach the Lakers 943 00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:35,580 But how to maximize LeBron 944 00:32:35,580 --> 00:32:37,500 And then they even went to his staff 945 00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,380 That's when you start hearing about Rondo 946 00:32:39,380 --> 00:32:41,260 And about Borrego 947 00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:42,900 The people that LeBron likes 948 00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:44,100 He loves Rondo 949 00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:45,100 He loves Jamie Borrego 950 00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:45,980 He's on Team USA 951 00:32:45,980 --> 00:32:48,460 He looks like the shot doctor on Team USA 952 00:32:49,820 --> 00:32:50,260 You know 953 00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:52,420 So it was LeBron centric 954 00:32:52,420 --> 00:32:53,220 JJ Reddick 955 00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:55,220 Interviewed what his approach was 956 00:32:55,220 --> 00:32:57,220 So the Lakers then reported 957 00:32:57,220 --> 00:32:59,300 Then from what I was told 958 00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:01,060 Pivoted to Dan Hurley 959 00:33:01,060 --> 00:33:03,500 To prioritizing Dan Hurley 960 00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:04,420 Now that's how guaranteed 961 00:33:04,420 --> 00:33:05,620 Dan Hurley leaves 962 00:33:05,620 --> 00:33:06,740 We've seen John Calipari 963 00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:08,020 Flirt with the NBA a couple of times 964 00:33:08,020 --> 00:33:09,180 To get contract 965 00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:10,980 Raises at Kentucky 966 00:33:13,580 --> 00:33:15,740 Maybe Dan Hurley is doing that 967 00:33:15,740 --> 00:33:17,340 For UConn 968 00:33:17,340 --> 00:33:20,340 Because he is 969 00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:22,300 Very sought out now 970 00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,780 He's won back to back 971 00:33:23,780 --> 00:33:25,580 National champions 972 00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:28,060 He's won back to back 973 00:33:28,060 --> 00:33:29,660 National championships 974 00:33:29,660 --> 00:33:33,220 He does have a buyout 975 00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:34,860 With 976 00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:37,580 UConn of about $2 million 977 00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:39,580 It's not going to sound a lot for the Lakers 978 00:33:39,580 --> 00:33:41,860 But Dan Hurley did recently sign a 6 year 979 00:33:41,860 --> 00:33:43,940 $32 million deal 980 00:33:43,940 --> 00:33:46,500 To continue to be the head man 981 00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,380 At UConn 982 00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:50,740 Again a $2 million buyout to go to the NBA 983 00:33:50,740 --> 00:33:53,180 Well a $1.8 million buyout to go to the NBA 984 00:33:53,180 --> 00:33:54,460 Nothing for Jeannie Buss 985 00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:58,340 She'll probably use that on Jet Fuel 986 00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:01,260 And so if he is the coach 987 00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:04,740 It's supposed to be a long term lucrative contract 988 00:34:04,740 --> 00:34:06,580 In which case UConn will be looking for a new 989 00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:08,300 Heads men's basketball coach 990 00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:10,900 After winning back to back national champions 991 00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:13,700 Which means the football championship head coach 992 00:34:13,700 --> 00:34:14,700 Jim Harbaugh 993 00:34:14,700 --> 00:34:18,020 And the men's basketball head coach 994 00:34:18,020 --> 00:34:19,100 Dan Hurley 995 00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:20,700 Will both leave the collegiate ranks 996 00:34:20,700 --> 00:34:23,820 To go to the pros right after winning their championships 997 00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:26,300 Interesting collegiate sports dynamic 998 00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:27,660 But that's a topic for another day 999 00:34:27,660 --> 00:34:31,620 Just sticking to JJ Radigan and Dan Hurley 1000 00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:32,860 If 1001 00:34:32,860 --> 00:34:35,420 The Mind the Game pod 1002 00:34:35,420 --> 00:34:37,980 Was 1003 00:34:37,980 --> 00:34:39,700 A ploy 1004 00:34:39,700 --> 00:34:42,780 Like we used to get a long range public interview 1005 00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:45,140 For JJ Radigan 1006 00:34:45,140 --> 00:34:47,020 And that was the plan 1007 00:34:47,020 --> 00:34:49,140 And then you hire Dan Hurley 1008 00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:51,020 Does LeBron and say I'm out 1009 00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:52,500 LeBron can be a free agent this year 1010 00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:53,820 I talked about it in my last pod 1011 00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:56,180 Rich Paul called LeBron a free agent 1012 00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:58,820 AKA he's opting out and he's going to free agency 1013 00:34:58,820 --> 00:34:59,740 If that's 1014 00:34:59,740 --> 00:35:01,620 If the Mind the Game pod 1015 00:35:01,620 --> 00:35:03,820 If all of this was done 1016 00:35:03,820 --> 00:35:06,020 To try and get JJ Radigan 1017 00:35:06,020 --> 00:35:08,300 As the head coach of the Lakers 1018 00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:11,460 And like I said a long term public interview 1019 00:35:11,460 --> 00:35:14,500 As head coach of the Lakers 1020 00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:18,140 And then because JJ Radigan basically voiced that in his interview 1021 00:35:18,140 --> 00:35:19,420 You go with Dan Hurley 1022 00:35:19,420 --> 00:35:21,300 Who's never coached in the NBA 1023 00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:23,580 Whose style doesn't look NBA like 1024 00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:25,220 He's yelling a lot more 1025 00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:27,180 He's very very animated 1026 00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:28,540 Um 1027 00:35:28,540 --> 00:35:29,540 Stuff like that like 1028 00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:31,620 He's going to have a justice style in the NBA 1029 00:35:31,620 --> 00:35:33,260 If you end up going with Dan Hurley 1030 00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:36,140 And all this stuff LeBron did with the media company and stuff 1031 00:35:36,140 --> 00:35:38,420 Was to get JJ as the head coach 1032 00:35:38,420 --> 00:35:40,140 You may have a LeBron role 1033 00:35:40,140 --> 00:35:41,380 You may jet 1034 00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:45,460 And then all this for not Dan Hurley's out in two years anyway 1035 00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:47,420 It's all for not right 1036 00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:50,140 Um so that is the risk you're taking here at the Lakers 1037 00:35:50,140 --> 00:35:51,660 If indeed 1038 00:35:51,660 --> 00:35:53,540 What I've been told was true 1039 00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:56,740 That JJ who had a very LeBron centered interview 1040 00:35:56,740 --> 00:35:57,700 Um 1041 00:35:57,700 --> 00:35:59,700 And that LeBron really wants him in there 1042 00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:02,940 And that the Mind the Game pod was again like a long range interview 1043 00:36:02,940 --> 00:36:05,180 Long term interview publicly 1044 00:36:05,180 --> 00:36:06,460 You're going to have a LeBron problem 1045 00:36:06,460 --> 00:36:09,100 He opts out and it probably increases his chances 1046 00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,740 He's not a Laker next season 1047 00:36:12,740 --> 00:36:14,980 If I am Jeannie Buss 1048 00:36:14,980 --> 00:36:18,100 I go with JJ Rettig 1049 00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,620 Not because it helps with LeBron 1050 00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:22,220 Uh although that is 1051 00:36:22,220 --> 00:36:24,340 Probably your only hope of prosperity right now 1052 00:36:24,340 --> 00:36:27,060 Because the Lakers are in the most juicy franchise ever 1053 00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:29,940 Um and plus with the way the money is set up now 1054 00:36:29,940 --> 00:36:33,500 It's hard to go pure free agency 1055 00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:34,180 To a place 1056 00:36:34,180 --> 00:36:34,860 There's no 1057 00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:36,700 There's not even anybody on the market 1058 00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:38,060 I can think of 1059 00:36:38,060 --> 00:36:39,420 That's okay it is there 1060 00:36:39,420 --> 00:36:41,100 But there's nobody on the market I can think of right now 1061 00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:43,020 Like okay you make this trade 1062 00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:45,940 With what little assets the Lakers have 1063 00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:47,580 To net 1064 00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:49,180 Who 1065 00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:50,500 And like there's nobody 1066 00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:54,180 They're like you're not going to bring Trey Young into LA 1067 00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:56,740 And it's Trey Young, Austin Reese 1068 00:36:56,740 --> 00:36:57,780 You know what I'm saying that's that 1069 00:36:57,780 --> 00:37:00,020 You don't bring down you can bring down Donovan Mitchell 1070 00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:01,820 He's a bucket 1071 00:37:01,820 --> 00:37:02,940 He'd be an exciting scorer 1072 00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:06,380 Him and AD probably rip stuff apart 1073 00:37:06,380 --> 00:37:07,740 But then at that point 1074 00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:09,220 What are you competing for 1075 00:37:09,220 --> 00:37:10,780 So I'm saying so 1076 00:37:10,780 --> 00:37:12,900 I go JJ Rettig not because of LeBron 1077 00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:15,420 I go JJ Rettig because he's been in the NBA 1078 00:37:15,420 --> 00:37:17,060 I hear him talk about it as an analyst 1079 00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:18,580 I hear him on the mind of the game pod 1080 00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:22,180 I see his basketball brain 1081 00:37:22,180 --> 00:37:25,620 And I don't trust long term 1082 00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:28,100 College style coaches who go like that 1083 00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:30,100 They ain't heard of how that loud 1084 00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:31,380 In your face 1085 00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:33,300 Whatever publicly on the court stuff 1086 00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,700 I don't trust that in the NBA it doesn't work 1087 00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:38,260 Like yeah he's going to come there 1088 00:37:38,260 --> 00:37:40,580 He's going to make 10 million dollars a year 1089 00:37:40,580 --> 00:37:42,540 LeBron makes 40 1090 00:37:42,540 --> 00:37:44,060 50 he makes 45 1091 00:37:44,060 --> 00:37:45,900 You know what I'm saying so it's like 1092 00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:47,100 You're not going to 1093 00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,340 You're not the power structure here 1094 00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:49,980 I can get you up out of here 1095 00:37:49,980 --> 00:37:52,660 Like it's just different in the NBA 1096 00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:53,940 I would go with JJ Rettig 1097 00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:56,300 Although I would understand if 1098 00:37:56,300 --> 00:38:00,980 The Lakers went with Dan Hurley 1099 00:38:00,980 --> 00:38:03,860 But up next we're going to have our Jax Hot Take 1100 00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:07,380 Which is going to be a discussion 1101 00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:10,780 About the rookie of the year 1102 00:38:10,780 --> 00:38:12,140 In the WNBA 1103 00:38:12,140 --> 00:38:13,260 Oh but before I go 1104 00:38:13,260 --> 00:38:14,060 Just want to let you know 1105 00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:17,780 Jason Tatum shot 16 and had 16, 11 and 5 1106 00:38:17,780 --> 00:38:20,180 And won a finals game by 19 1107 00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:21,420 But yeah he's valuable 1108 00:38:21,420 --> 00:38:23,420 But anyway we're going to jump to the WNBA 1109 00:38:23,420 --> 00:38:24,860 And talk about what's going on there 1110 00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:53,980 Welcome back into the show 1111 00:38:53,980 --> 00:38:57,500 And now we're going to jump into Jax Hot Take 1112 00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:03,460 Which is that Caitlin Clark is not your rookie of the year in the WNBA 1113 00:39:03,460 --> 00:39:04,380 I know I know 1114 00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:06,620 I've kind of earned a reputation at this point 1115 00:39:06,620 --> 00:39:08,460 Of being a Caitlin Clark hater 1116 00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:12,060 I prefer to call myself a Caitlin Clark truther 1117 00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:14,740 But in case you don't believe me 1118 00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:20,700 ESPN releases their WNBA rankings 1119 00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:23,500 Rookie rankings every week or so 1120 00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:27,420 Angela Reese had been number one for the past few weeks 1121 00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:31,340 The ranking is based on a lot of things 1122 00:39:31,340 --> 00:39:36,380 But advanced statistics, efficiency, your counting numbers of course 1123 00:39:36,380 --> 00:39:38,380 And kind of your impact on your team 1124 00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:42,380 So Angela Reese had been number one for most for a couple of weeks 1125 00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:43,980 But their recently released rankings 1126 00:39:43,980 --> 00:39:45,660 Actually they came out yesterday 1127 00:39:45,660 --> 00:39:46,780 Cameron Brink 1128 00:39:46,780 --> 00:39:48,940 Who I think is going to be the league defensive player of the year 1129 00:39:49,900 --> 00:39:51,260 Or has a hell of a shot at it 1130 00:39:51,260 --> 00:39:53,660 She's like female WNBA 1131 00:39:54,860 --> 00:39:58,300 I think that she has a chance at DPOY 1132 00:39:58,300 --> 00:39:59,580 She's number one now 1133 00:39:59,580 --> 00:40:01,500 Followed by Angela Reese is number two 1134 00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:04,540 Followed by Kate Martin at number three 1135 00:40:04,540 --> 00:40:07,900 Who was the second round draft pick of the Los Angeles Aces 1136 00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:10,300 She's had a actually pretty big impact on that team 1137 00:40:11,020 --> 00:40:14,140 And now she's like the first guard off the bench right now 1138 00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:15,580 Especially Chester Gray still being out 1139 00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:17,020 She's like first guard off the bench 1140 00:40:17,020 --> 00:40:20,860 And in the event like Jackie Young can't go 1141 00:40:20,860 --> 00:40:22,140 Kate Martin starting 1142 00:40:22,140 --> 00:40:24,540 So she is number three 1143 00:40:24,540 --> 00:40:25,500 Her story is insane 1144 00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:28,060 Like I said she only goes to draft night 1145 00:40:28,060 --> 00:40:29,660 She doesn't hire an agent clearly 1146 00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:33,180 She only goes draft night to cheer on Kate Lynn Clark 1147 00:40:33,180 --> 00:40:34,860 And while she's still sitting in the crowd 1148 00:40:34,860 --> 00:40:35,660 She gets drafted 1149 00:40:35,660 --> 00:40:37,500 Like she had no anticipation of being drafted 1150 00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:39,820 She gets drafted out of the crowd 1151 00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:42,860 So she has her moment of walking on the stage and everything 1152 00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:44,140 Because she's there 1153 00:40:44,140 --> 00:40:46,060 So they bring her on the stage 1154 00:40:46,060 --> 00:40:47,740 And she gets her photo on the stage 1155 00:40:47,740 --> 00:40:49,980 Like you know like it was first round draft pick 1156 00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:51,500 Because Kathy I think 1157 00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:53,500 I think Kathy Engelberg reads out of her pick 1158 00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:55,820 But she gets her big moment on the stage 1159 00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:57,660 Just like all the other draft picks in front of the crowd 1160 00:40:57,660 --> 00:40:59,340 Everybody's cheering it's crazy right 1161 00:41:00,380 --> 00:41:02,140 Then that was where she might not even make the team 1162 00:41:03,740 --> 00:41:04,780 And then she makes the team 1163 00:41:05,740 --> 00:41:09,580 She makes it over the Syracuse Guard Dynastia Fair 1164 00:41:09,580 --> 00:41:10,460 Dynastia Fair isn't making it 1165 00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:11,580 But she's got release 1166 00:41:11,580 --> 00:41:13,260 She's making over Dynastia Fair 1167 00:41:13,260 --> 00:41:16,460 And now she's a very key part of the team or the culture 1168 00:41:16,460 --> 00:41:17,260 Like they love her 1169 00:41:17,980 --> 00:41:19,900 Because she's you know how she plays the game 1170 00:41:19,900 --> 00:41:20,860 But she's number three 1171 00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:24,540 Rekia Jackson who's the other Sparks rookie 1172 00:41:25,180 --> 00:41:25,980 Is number four 1173 00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:28,460 Julie Van Loo is number five 1174 00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:30,860 Kate Lynn Clark is number six 1175 00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:35,420 And then Aliah Edwards is number seven 1176 00:41:35,420 --> 00:41:39,980 Although she had a damn good game against the sky and Angel Reese 1177 00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:43,580 So that might help her case out a little bit 1178 00:41:44,940 --> 00:41:48,380 Next week she had a damn good game against Angel Reese 1179 00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:49,980 Now people are going to go 1180 00:41:51,180 --> 00:41:54,060 Man how is Angel Reese number two 1181 00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:57,740 If this list is about efficiency and analytics 1182 00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:01,900 And it's actually a great question 1183 00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:02,940 Not a lot of you 1184 00:42:02,940 --> 00:42:05,900 But Angel Reese's impact defensively 1185 00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:11,900 And what she does for her team in terms of rebounding 1186 00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:15,900 And they defensively she's a monster even in W 1187 00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,020 She's got her first block 1188 00:42:17,020 --> 00:42:19,260 But she's routinely getting steals all over the place 1189 00:42:19,260 --> 00:42:20,620 She only averages.1 blocks again 1190 00:42:20,620 --> 00:42:22,140 She just got her first block 1191 00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:24,540 But she's averaging 1.5 steals a game 1192 00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:26,540 She's averaging near a double double 1193 00:42:26,540 --> 00:42:28,220 And she's not even playing 29 minutes 1194 00:42:28,220 --> 00:42:31,420 She's averaging 28.8 minutes 11 and 9 1195 00:42:31,420 --> 00:42:34,460 It's how she's averaging 11 and 9 with 1.5 steals 1196 00:42:34,460 --> 00:42:38,780 Again she's shooting 33% 1197 00:42:39,580 --> 00:42:43,180 Which considering she only shoots layups 1198 00:42:44,220 --> 00:42:45,180 That's insane 1199 00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:48,460 But I think she's used to getting certain file calls 1200 00:42:49,740 --> 00:42:50,060 Right 1201 00:42:50,060 --> 00:42:50,460 I'm coming out 1202 00:42:50,460 --> 00:42:51,820 She's used to getting certain file calls 1203 00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:53,180 She's not getting right now 1204 00:42:53,980 --> 00:42:55,340 And so it's messing with her 1205 00:42:56,860 --> 00:42:58,220 And so that's her numbers 1206 00:42:58,220 --> 00:42:59,340 Look at the camera bring 1207 00:42:59,340 --> 00:43:03,660 She's averaging eight points five rebounds 2.1 assists 1208 00:43:03,660 --> 00:43:08,220 But she's averaging a full steal per game and 2.6 blocks per game 1209 00:43:08,220 --> 00:43:09,900 And she's only playing 24 minutes a night 1210 00:43:10,860 --> 00:43:14,060 Mainly because of I think her file trovers 1211 00:43:14,060 --> 00:43:15,900 She's averaging four and a half files a game 1212 00:43:17,900 --> 00:43:18,140 Right 1213 00:43:18,140 --> 00:43:20,540 But she's shooting about 45% 35 from three 1214 00:43:20,540 --> 00:43:23,340 Now everybody's favorite player Kaylen Clark 1215 00:43:24,620 --> 00:43:28,060 She's averaging 15 points five rebounds six assists 1216 00:43:28,060 --> 00:43:29,900 1.3 steals and one block again 1217 00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:33,900 But she's shooting 35.7% 30% from three 1218 00:43:34,620 --> 00:43:37,420 She's averaging also 5.4 turnovers 1219 00:43:37,420 --> 00:43:41,180 So everybody was talking about how that list was about efficiency 1220 00:43:41,180 --> 00:43:43,900 And was about your impact on team winning 1221 00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:45,900 Her team's like two and nine 1222 00:43:47,100 --> 00:43:48,540 Not necessarily all her fault 1223 00:43:48,540 --> 00:43:49,900 But her team is like two and nine 1224 00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:51,260 She's a turnover machine 1225 00:43:51,260 --> 00:43:53,020 She's a hella inefficient 1226 00:43:53,020 --> 00:43:56,380 And so it's dropping her low and low in this ranking 1227 00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:58,620 Counting numbers in the Rookie of the Year 1228 00:43:58,620 --> 00:44:00,220 Aren't everything 1229 00:44:00,220 --> 00:44:02,220 Because there's been years with certain rookies 1230 00:44:02,220 --> 00:44:04,620 Outscored others and that person's been on the Rookie of the Year 1231 00:44:04,620 --> 00:44:09,020 Do I think Kaylen Clark may end up being voted as Rookie of the Year anyway? 1232 00:44:09,740 --> 00:44:10,540 Yes 1233 00:44:10,540 --> 00:44:12,220 Do I think she's the Rookie of the Year? 1234 00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:12,700 No 1235 00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:15,420 I think the Rookie of the Year right now is either Andrew or Lisa Cameron Brink 1236 00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:17,420 Because I'm looking at Cameron Brink 1237 00:44:17,420 --> 00:44:20,780 She's gonna she has a legitimate shot at Defensive Player of the Year 1238 00:44:20,780 --> 00:44:23,260 I think it's to me either her or Asia Wilson 1239 00:44:23,260 --> 00:44:25,740 Are battling for Defensive Player of the Year 1240 00:44:25,740 --> 00:44:28,940 Andrew Reese is fighting for the damn rebound crown 1241 00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:31,900 She's gonna win the Office of Rebound Crown 1242 00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:34,380 She's in the running for the Steel's crown 1243 00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:37,500 And she's in the battle for like her efficiency on winning 1244 00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,420 And on their total defensive net rating 1245 00:44:39,420 --> 00:44:40,780 And on the advanced analytics 1246 00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:43,100 Andrew Reese having a much bigger impact on her team 1247 00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:45,740 Cameron Brinks having a much bigger impact on her team 1248 00:44:45,740 --> 00:44:47,500 Than Kaylen Clark is right now 1249 00:44:47,500 --> 00:44:51,340 So the Rookie of the Year in my opinion is either Brink or Reese 1250 00:44:51,980 --> 00:44:53,980 I think it'll end up being either Brink or Reese 1251 00:44:53,980 --> 00:44:56,940 I think it'll end up being pushed as Kaylen Clark 1252 00:44:57,660 --> 00:45:00,220 But I think it's legitimate either Brink or Reese 1253 00:45:00,220 --> 00:45:02,220 As the Rookie of the Year right now the WNBA 1254 00:45:03,740 --> 00:45:04,860 It's Friday night 1255 00:45:04,860 --> 00:45:05,740 There's no NBA on 1256 00:45:05,740 --> 00:45:07,980 There's two WNBA games on 1257 00:45:07,980 --> 00:45:09,420 They have their ION Showcase 1258 00:45:10,060 --> 00:45:14,220 Where they play on ION every single Friday night 1259 00:45:14,220 --> 00:45:20,220 They usually do two games on ION every single night 1260 00:45:20,220 --> 00:45:21,740 Let me pull up those games for you guys 1261

00:45:33,980 And the Washington Mystics who they just played last night 1264 00:45:33,980 --> 00:45:35,500 So that's going to be a tough one 1265 00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:38,860 And then the Seattle Storm with their big three Skylar Diggins 1266 00:45:38,860 --> 00:45:40,540 Nekogumike, Jewel Lloyd 1267 00:45:40,540 --> 00:45:43,340 And everyone's low-key favorite rookie Nick O'Mule 1268 00:45:43,340 --> 00:45:45,500 Versus the two-time defending champs 1269 00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,580 And the best player in the world Asia Wilson 1270 00:45:47,580 --> 00:45:48,940 And the Las Vegas Aces 1271 00:45:48,940 --> 00:45:50,140 So if you want to see a show 1272 00:45:50,140 --> 00:45:51,740 Asia Wilson plays basketball tonight 1273 00:45:51,740 --> 00:45:52,860 Just pointing that out
