guys can tell the audio 51 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000 And the intro song from B-Roy 52 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Is in front of the intro 53 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Which is something that I'm doing 54 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000 For this episode specifically 55 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Cause it is a game for reaction episode 56 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000 I'm actually recording this 57 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 And the game still going on 58 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Because if you guys watched it at all 59 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 You guys will know that the Mavericks 60 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Absolutely crushed the Boston Celtics tonight 61 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Historic levels of dominance 62 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000 And multiple levels 63 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Again, absolutely crushed 64 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000 The Mavericks 65 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Sorry, absolutely crushed rather 66 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 The Boston Celtics 67 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Huge, huge win for the Mavericks 68 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Since they about for elimination 69 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Unfortunately, you guys 70 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000 I know some of you guys were looking 71 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 For the game 3 pod 72 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000 I posted on all my social medias 73 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000 That the pod wouldn't happen 74 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Scheduling conflict 75 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 I had a church event Wednesday night 76 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000 I was only able to watch 77 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000 About a little over a quarter 78 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000 It seems I watched the most important part of the game 79 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Because that was the part where the Celtics were up 21 80 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 And then the Mavericks stormed 81 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 To cut it down to 1 82 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000 I think the announcement says tonight 83 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000 I thought it was 3, but cut it down to 1 84 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000 And then the Diodas could never get in front 85 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Luca fouls out with like 4 minutes left in the game 86 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000 And ultimately the Boston Celtics are winning 87 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Now, going into tonight backing up 88 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000 A lot of discourse was made 89 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000 And I've seen it in a product game 90 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 I'll watch so I can comment on it 91 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000 A lot of discourse was made 92 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 From Brian Windhorst 93 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000 Ethering Luca 94 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000 JJ Reddick talked about him 95 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000 People on social media first take 96 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000 And disputed 97 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 I mean, first things first 98 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000 It was popular 99 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Like the thing was 100 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000 We're going to denigrate Luca Dacic 101 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 And I've noticed this with media 102 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000 I'm in the media 103 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 So I've done it occasionally 104 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000 I will admit to it 105 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000 But I've noticed it's a thing in media 106 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Whenever they build up a star 107 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000 I'm talking about mainstream media 108 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Whenever they build up a star 109 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 When that star does not deliver to the way 110 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 That they anticipate them doing it 111 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Everything that they glossed over during the wins 112 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Becomes an issue in the losses 113 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000 And so one of the people who do this more now 114 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 And I don't know if it's the ESPN influence 115 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000 If it's Steven Van A's influence 116 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Shannon Sharpe 117 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000 But Shannon Sharpe, he was on first thing 118 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000 He was on undisputed rather 119 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Spoke about how 120 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 You never accept anything in a win 121 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000 You wouldn't in a loss 122 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000 It was a common phrase he said 123 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000 That one of his coaches told him 124 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 I believe Shanahan told him 125 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Mike Shanahan told him 126 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000 You never accept anything in a win 127 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 That you wouldn't in a loss 128 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000 So Luca's complaining to the officials 129 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Luca's piss poor defense 130 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Luca's sometimes horrible shot 131 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Making bad body language 132 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000 All of that got glossed over for months 133 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Because when Dallas traded for PJ Washington 134 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Made the move for Daniel Gaffer 135 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 They got Grant Williams out 136 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000 And etc 137 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Luca still did the bad body language 138 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Although not as much 139 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 He still didn't play a whole lot of defense 140 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000 He still whatever 141 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000 But they were winning 142 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000 So it got glossed over 143 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000 It became look at Luca's offense 144 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Look at Kyrie's offense 145 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Look at how those two can carry the offense 146 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000 While the Dallas team plays defense 147 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Right 148 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000 So a lot of this stuff 149 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000 That Luca's had a bad habit of 150 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Since he got in the NBA 151 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Was glossed over 152 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000 For like I said 153 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Two and a half, three months 154 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000 Dallas was on this rampage 155 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Through basketball 156 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000 They finished the regular season 25-5 157 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000 They beat the Clippers in 6 I want to say 158 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000 And then they beat the Timbers in 5 159 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000 And so Dallas ripping through the West 160 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Mind you 161 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000 There's another series that I'm forgetting 162 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 But they're ripping through the West 163 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000 But again, Luca still is Luca 164 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 And so you get to the finals 165 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 It's a problem 166 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 And specifically it's like it was this build up 167 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 It was reports coming out about how teammates 168 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Have asked him not to complain to the refs 169 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 And show up in better shape 170 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000 And there's like I said 171 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Brian Went horse went on an ether 172 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000 About how nobody in the Dallas facility 173 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Can get Luca to play defense 174 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000 And not complain and show up to the refs 175 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 I mean not complain to the refs 176 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000 And show up in shape 177 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000 And hopefully this summer 178 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 After the series is over 179 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 Luca can find somebody outside the building 180 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000 To get through 181 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Like it was purposeful 182 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 It was malicious 183 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 And the media is the media 184 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 I expect them to do nothing less 185 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 But it was one of those things where 186 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 I understood the players 187 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Like the players come out 188 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 And they do a lot of their own media 189 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000 I got it 190 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000 I understood it 191 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Why they say they want 192 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000 They don't trust people in the media 193 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Right 194 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000 That they guys support you 195 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Guys rock with you 196 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000 And then the second that is popular 197 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000 To be against you 198 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 They're against you openly 199 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000 I say it was 200 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000 I haven't seen Brian Went horse 201 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000 That at somebody probably since the 202 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Comic Sans letter from Dan Gilbert 203 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000 About LeBron 204 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000 That was like I said it felt 205 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Not Went horse by himself 206 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 But with Went horse and then ESPN 207 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000 And then first take 208 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 And then undisputed 209 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000 It felt like a malicious attack 210 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000 On Luca Doncic 211 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Apparently the Mavericks are up for 212 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 48 now 213 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Tim Hardaway Jr. is knocking down 214 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000 Shots which is probably the last thing 215 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 The Maverick 216 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Probably the last thing 217 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000 That I just need is another shooter 218 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000 They're at 48 219 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Which is the largest finals leading 220 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Last 50 years 221 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Per stats and info 222 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000 With stats Williams 223 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000 So 224 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000 But that's what's going on right now 225 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000 In game four 226 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000 But back to what happened at game three 227 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000 It was this 228 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Like I said it was 229 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000 3-0 never been come back 230 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Forever 231 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000 And so everybody immediately 232 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Started writing the obituary for the Mavericks 233 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000 And it went into slander season 234 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000 And so I didn't like it 235 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Because I said they were 236 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000 To me 237 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 If Luca doesn't foul out 238 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 The Mavericks win game three 239 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000 And there's no 240 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000 There's none of that happens 241 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000 In the last 48 hours 242 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000 None of it happens in the last 48 hours right 243 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000 And then starts out coming out 244 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Yes Luca has one of the highest 245 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Blow-by rates 246 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000 In the history of basketball 247 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,000 I think game one was at like 52-53% 248 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000 I think games two and three 249 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Were both north 250 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Or right around 60 or north of 60% 251 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000 So the blow-by rates 252 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Which means 253 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000 Six out of ten times 254 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Luca was the primary defender 255 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000 He got blown by 256 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Off the dribble 257 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000 That's insane 258 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000 That's insane for a bad high school 259 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Defender in high school basketball 260 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000 So it's ridiculous for an NBA player 261 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000 However 262 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Their defensive rating was like 107 263 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Which would have been the best 264 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Defense in the league this year 265 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000 By a couple of points per 100 266 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000 I mean that is 267 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Absolutely 268 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000 So there's 269 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 It's kind of conflicting stats 270 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000 Sorry I got distracted 271 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000 I'm still half 272 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000 I'm still keeping my eye on the game 273 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000 But I got distracted 274 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000 No there 275 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000 But that's a conflicting situation 276 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000 Yes Luca's getting blown by 277 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 But they're having an amazing defense 278 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000 You look at the Boston Celtics 279 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000 They have not had a big offensive game 280 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000 In this series 281 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000 Even the game that I called 282 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Their offensive barrage 283 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000 I don't think they went north of 110 284 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Was considering for the greatest 285 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Offense in the history of basketball 286 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Not being north of 110 287 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Is pretty 288 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Saying something 289 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Let me actually pull up the numbers 290 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000 They went 291 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000 Yeah so in the big game 292 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000 The huge game they had 293 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 With the big giant fourth quarter lead 294 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000 107 295 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Then 105 296 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Then 106 297 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Right now they're at 77 298 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000 With about three minutes left in the game 299 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000 So even when they've gone huge 300 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 In terms of three point numbers 301 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Like they had 17 or 18 in game one 302 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000 They never cracked 110 303 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000 So defensively Dallas has been right there 304 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Offensively they just haven't been there 305 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000 This is the first night where the Dallas offense came to play 306 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000 So I just didn't like the discourse 307 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Finishing it up on game three 308 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Before shifting to game four 309 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000 I just didn't like the discourse 310 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Surrounding Luca Donchich 311 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Like I said it felt purposeful 312 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000 It felt malicious 313 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 It felt coordinated 314 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000 It felt like the executive of the Fox called the executive of ESPN 315 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000 And was like we're gonna bash Luca today 316 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000 And I can say it was popular to hate Luca 317 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 It was pretty popular 318 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000 You can see it on social media 319 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000 A lot of social media fed into the narratives 320 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000 Of Luca being a cone 321 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Of him being a poor D fan 322 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000 People started calling by his weight again 323 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Like it was bad 324 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000 And Luca even post game 325 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 Talked about how it was a physical game 326 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000 And he went with the officials again 327 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 And that didn't help at all 328 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 For the Winnhorst thing 329 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000 It's like you played a bad game 330 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Defensively you played a horrible game defensively 331 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 You played a bad game file wise 332 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000 And the first thing out of your mouth was to blame the officials 333 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000 So that didn't help at all 334 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000 But then it came down to 335 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000 The next day he sits down 336 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000 I want to say Malika Angelis 337 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000 But it might not have been 338 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000 He sits down and he takes accountability 339 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000 It's one of those 340 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000 His emotional answer was one answer 341 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000 And he thought about it 342 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Probably spoke to the Mavs organization 343 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000 What they want to put out 344 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000 And he looks contrite 345 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000 He looked like he truly was like 346 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000 I can't do this anymore and win 347 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000 So every superstar kind of has a grow up, wake up moment 348 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 I can kind of go through all of them for everybody 349 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000 But I won't 350 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000 But every superstar for the most part 351 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Who wins at a high level 352 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Has a grow up, wake up moment 353 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 You may not see it 354 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000 You may not recognize it as BAM 355 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 But as every great player they'll tell you what the moment is 356 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000 And so to me that was Lucas 357 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000 That was Lucas grow up, wake up moment 358 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000 And it may not matter in this series 359 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Boston may ultimately win the title anyway 360 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000 But it was a moment where 361 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Okay, if I'm going to be successful 362 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000 I have to do it like this 363 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Occasional emotional about Burst 364 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Are expected he's human 365 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000 But he was from what I saw 366 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 He was rioting the officials 367 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000 He was complaining about everything 368 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000 If he got touched in the lane he missed 369 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000 He was looking for the file 370 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 Hell even when he made it he was looking for the file 371 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 The only time he really wasn't 372 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Was when they were charging 373 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000 They made that big 20 to 2 run 374 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000 And J.Kid called a timeout 375 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000 And I immediately text my friend in the group chat 376 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Take my friends in the group chat 377 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000 Horrible timeout J.Kid 378 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000 Immediately 379 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Because you're running 380 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Boston scrambling 381 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000 You got him in a transition 382 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Yeah you had a couple of rushed possessions 383 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000 But they rushed right back 384 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 It wasn't like you had a couple of rushed possessions 385 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000 And then Boston swung swung 3 386 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000 And then swung swung maybe over 3 387 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000 But they missed it 388 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000 And then you're still scrambling 389 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 And then you call a timeout like whoa 390 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Before they stretch it back out let's calm it down 391 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000 Both sides were scrambling 392 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Your scramble looked a lot better than their scramble 393 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000 He called a timeout kill the momentum 394 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000 I think Boston's up hitting a shot 395 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000 And then Luca files out 396 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000 He was right behind each other 397 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000 Kind of one of those games where 398 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000 You can't blame J.Kid totally 399 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000 But that feels like the J.Kid 400 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Ah why did you do it game 401 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000 So that definitely gave off that feel in game 4 402 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Through game 3 rather 403 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Kudos to the Boston 7 taking a 3-0 lead 404 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000 I spoke about the discourse already 405 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Here we come to game 4 406 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 It ain't just game 4 407 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000 And I'm sitting here going man 408 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 You know, season's on the line 409 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 J.Kid was adamant 410 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000 We're not losing 411 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000 I showed the pregame 412 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000 He said we're not losing to Boston tonight 413 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000 I said we're not 414 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 We're just not going to lose this game tonight 415 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 You know and Joe Mazzullo 416 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Was trying to keep his guys into it 417 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000 They're always locked into him 418 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000 But what I always say about teams in this situation 419 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000 There's one team playing desperate 420 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000 And there's one team playing hopeful 421 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000 There's one team playing like they're starving 422 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000 And there's one team trying to finish off their meal 423 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Now you could break the starving team 424 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000 But you gotta break them 425 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000 It's much easier 426 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Like J.Kid said 427 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000 There's moments in this game where you're going to have to hold on to the rope 428 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Like Boston makes a run 429 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000 And you're going to have to make it up in your mind 430 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000 Is my season over or do I at least want to fight 431 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000 And he called it holding on to the rope 432 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000 It's easier to let that team that's up 3-0 433 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000 To let go of the rope 434 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000 You know what we're up 3-0 435 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000 They hit 7 threes in the first quarter 436 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000 They're up 15 in the first 437 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 We're going to fight to half time 438 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000 If it's looking bleak at half time 439 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Whatever we will go home and end it 440 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000 But at the same time that team that's up 441 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Could break the team that's down 442 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Because they're like look we're down all three 443 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000 If they come out that first quarter 444 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000 That 37-15 first quarter 445 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000 You let go of the rope 446 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000 The roleplayers heads drop 447 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000 Maybe the stars don't but the roleplayers heads drop 448 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000 And the season's over 449 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000 So anyway they come out to it 450 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000 And it's a competitive game early 451 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Both teams I think miss their first couple of shots 452 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000 Kyrie gets on the board and gets us started 453 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000 And then Celtics come back 454 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Boom boom 455 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 I think Brown gets a layup and Tatum hits a three 456 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000 And so now it's starting to move 457 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000 We're starting to run 458 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000 We're playing basketball 459 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000 Lucas hot 460 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Lucas on fire 461 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Early in the game though 462 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000 There was a couple of times 463 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000 I thought Lucas got bumped 464 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Right 465 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000 And he didn't say anything 466 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000 And that was huge 467 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000 He didn't look at the refs 468 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 He didn't 469 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000 He didn't look at the refs 470 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000 He didn't look at anybody around him 471 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000 He didn't look at anything 472 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000 He went back down to court and played defense 473 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000 There was also several moments 474 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000 Boston tried to switch 475 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Lucas on 476 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000 Switched Lucas on the primary ball 477 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Angela 478 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000 Lucas sat in the chair 479 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Slid his feet 480 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000 Forced bad shots 481 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Huge moments 482 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000 And they say that all happened like in the first 483 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000 15, 16 minutes 484 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000 Where they were really trying to basically get a repeat of game three 485 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000 We're gonna force him to switch 486 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 We're gonna bump him on offense 487 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,000 We're gonna make him frustrated 488 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Like we're gonna make him work 489 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 See if we can frustrate him 490 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000 Once he's frustrated he's out the game 491 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000 And Lucas stayed calm 492 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Lucas stayed composed 493 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000 Lucas actually picked that code files 494 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000 And raised his hand 495 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Like I filed them 496 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Like huge, huge stuff 497 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000 For what they were trying to get accomplished 498 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Huge for what they were trying to get done 499 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 And then the others showed up man 500 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000 The game has gone final now 501 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000 1, 22, 84 502 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000 So I actually can pull up the stats 503 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000 They actually secured the third largest victory in the NBA finals 504 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,000 His 38 points 505 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000 But now I can pull up the numbers 506 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Since pretty much none of the starters played 507 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000 In the fourth 508 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000 It was one of those nights 509 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000 And remember how I spoke about Dallas had multiple ways to win 510 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000 And I kinda said Boston used their main three already 511 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Dallas hasn't 512 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000 This was honestly 513 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000 This was the Boston bad night 514 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000 You know I was like oh 515 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000 There's gonna be a night where Boston is just awful 516 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000 You know what I'm saying 517 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Where Boston is just bad 518 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Like they're just not gonna be productive 519 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000 And it was a mix of Dallas was hot and Boston was bad 520 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Jalen Brown 3 for 12 521 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000 10 points 522 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000 By far his worst game 523 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Juholliday 4 of 10 524 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000 10 points 525 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000 Jason Tatum 4 of 10 526 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000 15 points 527 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000 Sam Hauser was actually the second leading scorer on the Celtics 528 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000 He finished 5 of 7 529 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000 With 14 points 530 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 But again kinda big for him to see a couple shots go down 531 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Cause he made 4 of his 6 threes 532 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000 He's gonna be somebody that especially with poor Zing is limited 533 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000 They're gonna have to go smaller in life 534 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000 They're gonna have to make his shots 535 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000 But here's what I wanna look at 536 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000 First of all Luka Donchis 12 for 26 537 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000 0 for 8 from 3 538 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000 He still managed 29, 5 and 5 539 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Kyrie Irvin 10 of 18 540 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000 He was 1 for 6 from 3 541 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000 He poured in 21 542 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000 But look at Daniel Gaffer only played 10 minutes 543 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Derrick Jones Jr only played 17 544 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 He had a beautiful in and out crossover finish scoop layup 545 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Pigeon Watcher only played 14 minutes 546 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Tim Hardaway Jr nails 5 threes 547 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Now again the game is over when he nails these 3 548 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000 But Tim Hardaway Jr had not made any 3 in the finals 549 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000 He nailed 5 threes 550 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Tonight helped him out big time 551 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Derrick Lively huge 552 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000 In 22 minutes he had 11 points, 12 rebounds 553 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Including making a 3 of his own 554 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000 Dante Exum nailed 2 threes 555 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Dallas made 15 out of 37 threes 556 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Which is 40% 557 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Boston made 14 out of 41 558 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000 So this is the first game they've outshot Boston from the 3.1 559 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Field goal percentage Dallas 50, Boston 36 560 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000 I spoke about 3.9 already 561 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Dallas again, Dallas has made more free throws 562 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 So instead of better percentage 563 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000 They're probably not going to out percentage Boston 564 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000 But they made more free throws 565 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Remember how I spoke about that was always 566 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000 I always said man Dallas should be in a better spot 567 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000 Because I'm looking at the rebounding numbers 568 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000 They won the boards tonight 52 to 31 569 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000 And they won the turnover battle 570 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000 They only gave up 9 571 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000 They got 14 572 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000 And Boston gave up 17 points on third turnovers 573 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Dallas only gave up 9 574 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000 Dallas also won the fast break points by 5 575 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000 And they won in the paint 60 to 26 576 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000 And that is something I don't think is going to be talked about enough 577 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 And they, you know, I don't know 578 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000 I'm reacting pretty instantly 579 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Like I said, the game just went final 580 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000 That's, to me that's huge 581 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000 And they're going to talk about Lucas improved defense 582 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000 And they're going to talk about how they outshot bad Boston shot 583 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000 And they're going to talk about a lot of things 584 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Dallas tonight 585 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Realized to me that there was no 7 foot 3 person in the paint 586 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Like oh we can go to the rim 587 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000 And they scored 60 paint points 588 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000 To the Boston's 26 589 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000 They kept Boston out of the paint 590 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000 They slipped their feet 591 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000 They moved their feet 592 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000 There has to be Boston's easily Boston's lowest paint point total 593 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,000 In the series 594 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000 Because Dallas slid their feet 595 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000 I won't even go 596 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000 I mean there's not even really a reason to go step by step 597 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000 The game was over in the third quarter 598 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Boston pulled their starters with 4 minutes left in the third 599 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000 It was over 600 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Dallas followed suit right at the end of the third 601 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000 They were done 602 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Things I saw that was different 603 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000 The energy level defensively from a Luke Kodachis was different 604 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Yes 605 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000 What did I think? 606 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000 What we saw? 607 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,000 What the coverage was? 608 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,000 It was overblown 609 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Absolutely 610 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000 But he also played better defense tonight 611 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000 His body language towards official was much better tonight 612 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Kyrie Irving continued his consistency tonight 613 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000 Like I said, you've got to Tim Hardaway Jr. 614 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000 He may have 5 out of 7 threes 615 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Yes, it was against the Boston Celtics backups 616 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000 But he made them 617 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000 He hadn't made them at all at any point in this series 618 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000 The crowd was raucous 619 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000 You've got Derrick Lively hit a 3 620 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000 His energy was insane 621 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Daniel Gaffer was insane 622 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000 PJ Washington, his energy was all over the place 623 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000 You had all these different things happen for you at one time 624 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Positively if you're the Dallas Mavericks 625 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000 If you're the Boston Celtics, you throw the tape away 626 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000 And we don't even watch it 627 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000 But we're good 628 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000 We burn it 629 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000 We missed a lot of shots 630 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000 In their minds, they normally would make 631 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000 They didn't get a lot of their open threes like normal 632 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000 So that may be something they would look at tape wise 633 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000 But they shouldn't watch the film more than 10, 15 minutes 634 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000 And just get rid of it 635 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000 You go home to Boston 636 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000 You got a chance to close them on in Boston 637 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Again, 5 in a race, banner 18 638 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Celebrate banner 18 in Boston 639 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Which would, the celebration would be insane 640 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000 For the Boston Celtics first title since what? 2009? 641 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 2008 or 2009 when they beat Kobe Bryant 642 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000 And so that's the situation in game 4 643 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000 You saw the Mavericks to me at their best 644 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Locked down defensively 645 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Luka Doncic not complaining 646 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000 Not bemoaning the refs 647 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000 Not annoying the refs 648 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000 Just playing basketball 649 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000 I said Kyrie Irvin was there 650 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000 The defensive execution was insane 651 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000 And also the referee Scott Foster led crew 652 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000 They called more fouls 653 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Obviously it's not the typical Scott Foster crew 654 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000 It's kind of like an all star lineup every game 655 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000 For the officials 656 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 But they were calling more fouls 657 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000 But Dow was also the more aggressive team 658 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000 So they should have been calling more fouls 659 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000 I think I had a problem with the officiating earlier in the series 660 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000 Whenever Boston shot more threes and more free throws 661 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000 And that's always a weird thing to me 662 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000 When a team shoots 10, 15 more threes than the other team 663 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 And they also shoot 6, 7 more free throws 664 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000 How? Like how is that possible? 665 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000 And so this game the free throws matched the pain points 666 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000 And Dallas outscored Boston by 34 pain points 667 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000 And they still only shot like 7 more free throws 668 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000 So the fouls was definitely to me called more fairly this game 669 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000 Dallas is a more aggressive driving team 670 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Boston drives to kick 671 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Kyrie and Luca drives to me to score first 672 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 And if they get stuck they kick to the corner or they swing it around 673 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Plus the lobs and stuff like that 674 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000 So they are more aggressive at the rim scoring team to me 675 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000 So they should have more free throws consistently every game 676 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,000 But Dallas also has to make them when they are given the opportunity 677 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000 But there will be a game five 678 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000 And before we sign out, I said quick show, it's a reaction show 679 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Before we sign out, before I sign out rather 680 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000 I want to talk to the Boston Celtics 681 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000 I want to talk to the Celtics, I do 682 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000 I want to talk to the Celtics 683 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000 Boston, you better win game five 684 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,000 And I spoke about this while I didn't have a podcast after 2016 685 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000 But I told my friends in 2016 about LeBron and that series 686 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000 I said the Golden State Warriors better beat him in game five 687 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000 And I'm saying the same thing to the Boston Celtics 688 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000 You better beat the Mavs in game five 689 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Because if you don't, you're opening up a can of worms I don't think you want to deal with 690 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Justin, what do you mean? They're up 3-0 691 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000 Ask the Celtics 692 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Last year actually 693 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Ask the Celtics 694 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000 If the Celtics, they remember 695 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000 That Red Bull Juholly was on that team pretty much 696 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000 They were up, they were down 3-0 to the Miami Heat 697 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,000 And they charged all the way back to make it a game seven 698 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,000 And then Tatum sprains his ankle on like the first or second play 699 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,000 And we never know, Boston keeps it semi-close for most of the game 700 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000 But the game's over when Tatum sprains his ankle 701 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000 And truly we never know how it ends 702 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000 But I remember saying in that series 703 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Miami better get them in game five 704 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000 Because they understand the situation 705 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000 Boston stayed off elimination at home I believe 706 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000 It goes back to Miami 707 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Maybe it's reversed, I think Miami's a lower seed 708 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000 But Boston stayed off elimination in game four 709 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000 It goes to game five 710 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000 I'm like you better get them in five 711 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000 And then Boston wins in five 712 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000 Now it gets dicey 713 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000 I'm saying that to the Boston Celtics 714 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Hear me very clearly 715 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Boston, the Celtics, Tatum, Brown, Mazula, Drew, Horford, Prichard, whomever, Brad Stevens 716 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:17,000 Beat, if you want to have the NBA Championship be as stress-free as possible 717 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000 You win game five 718 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Because if you don't win game five, now Dallas got you twice 719 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000 This is the first road loss Boston's had in the playoffs 720 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000 This is the first time Kyrie Irvin's beaten the Boston Celtics since he left Boston 721 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000 A lot of firsts happened tonight 722 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000 This is the biggest lead in finals in the last 50 years 723 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Third biggest win in the finals history 724 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Like this is, what is it, the Memorial Day massacre 725 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000 Or whatever it was that the Lakers had into the Lakers 726 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000 Veterans Day massacre, something like that 727 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000 You better win game five 728 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000 Because if you don't, let's say you don't 729 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Let's say you don't get blown out again, let's say it's close 730 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,000 Let's say Dallas wins 108-102 731 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Makeup for those late, they win game five 732 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000 You then go back to Dallas for game six 733 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:15,000 That is the official last Dallas basketball game besides the wings for the rest of the year 734 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000 If you're a Mavericks fan, that's the last basketball game for you 735 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000 You can imagine the energy will be through the roof 736 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000 And all the pressure is still on you if you're Boston 737 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,000 But now it's pressure and it's doubt because you've lost two games in a row 738 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000 I don't see Luca and Kyrie losing in that environment, I really don't 739 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Same thing I said about LeBron in 2016, I don't see LeBron and Kyrie losing at home, just don't 740 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,000 I don't see Luca and Kyrie losing that game at home, especially if they've got me two in a row 741 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000 Again, it won't be like tonight, but they'll win decently comfortably 742 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000 The shooters will come out to play, they'll win by 15 743 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,000 Then it goes to game seven in Boston and all the pressures on the Celtics 744 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,000 The Mavericks are playing with house money, we're not even supposed to be here 745 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000 All the pressures on the Celtics 746 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:14,000 1-10-2, you know what's coming, 1-10-2, 12-2, Mavericks running to go up eight in the third quarter 747 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000 The arena's stone quiet 748 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000 And everybody on the Celtics is getting nervous 749 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000 Because they're wondering, oh my god, how are we even here right now? 750 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000 But all that can be avoided, Boston, if you just take care of business in game five 751 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Now I had the Mavericks in six, of course my prediction's dead 752 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000 But all of that could be avoided, Boston, if you just win game five 753 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,000 Because if you don't, you're in for a much longer series than you should be in at this point 754 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000 But kudos to the Daleks, Mavericks were staving off elimination 755 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,000 They battled, they fought, and they succeeded in what their goals were 756 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000 Which again was to not get swept 757 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000 So now we will have a game five tonight's Friday, so they're off Saturday and Sunday 758 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000 And they'll play game five in Boston on Monday in the TD Garden 759 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000 And we will be, of course, recording a podcast after that 760 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Game, of course, we'll get back right on that 761 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000 But hey, this is your host, I'd like you guys to rock with me 762 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Sorry, I'm going to sign out a little early 763 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000 Thank you guys for rocking with me 764 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Follow the social media handles at JTimesSports 765 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000 All your favorite social medias, X, Instagram, Facebook, the stunt threads, all of it, we're there 766 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000 Subscribe to the YouTube channel, Justin Timesports Podcast 767 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:38,000 The link to the YouTube, can't talk for a second, will be in the episode description for this podcast 768 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,000 And of course, like, rate, and subscribe, and also rate this podcast 769 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000 However you feel it, wherever you get your podcast, however you feel about it 770 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000 If you think it's a five star, five stars are preferable 771 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000 If you think I'm a five star podcast, man, give me a five star 772 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000 So it can be recommended to others so they can get the same knowledge and join the family 773 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Join the Justin Times Sports family, the same as you 774 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000 And if you bet, your truth is your truth 775 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000 So if you think it's a three star, I disagree with you 776 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000 But if you think it's a three star rated 777 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000 So that we can move up the rankings, and so again, it's recommended 778 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000 And so more people can again join the Justin Times Sports family 779 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000 The same way that you have 780 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000 But that is all I have for this evening 781 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:49,000 This is your host, Justin Jackson, signing out 782 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000 See you next time
