Mavs and Clippers are the first playoff matchup that has been clinched, and the guys take us around the Association to gear up for the rest of the playoffs.
[00:00:00] Yo, welcome to Sports Reports As Ordered, where tonight this is the real playoff, not that
[00:00:08] playing bullshit.
[00:00:13] That just shows you what kind of mood I'm in right now.
[00:00:16] This will happen when he talks first.
[00:00:18] Yeah, because I am not the even killed one.
[00:00:24] That would be my partner on the other side of the screen.
[00:00:27] He's the even kill.
[00:00:29] The VA born.
[00:00:31] New Jerus representing dedicated veteran and father.
[00:00:36] Don't bring feelings to a fact fight.
[00:00:39] Don't do it.
[00:00:40] He is.
[00:00:42] Mr logical.
[00:00:43] You know, saying giving y'all the first letter of his name those L's.
[00:00:49] You know, saying I only other hand, you know, in your unorthodox statistician CJ
[00:00:56] McCollum on the ground.
[00:00:58] And I am going left so much that you thought I was self-paw also dedicated veteran and father
[00:01:06] dedicated husband and all those good things.
[00:01:09] We are Sports Reports As Ordered, so please do us a favor, like subscribe, share, tell
[00:01:16] grandma about it because you know, I ain't got the throwback on today but I do got an
[00:01:21] old Jersey on she remembers when Kentucky used to wear this.
[00:01:25] So you know, it is what it is.
[00:01:27] So let's get this thing started right now.
[00:01:30] Yes.
[00:01:31] You are now listening to the sound of Sports Reports As Ordered.
[00:01:51] Welcome one and all.
[00:01:53] Tonight is our playoff edition because in case you didn't know the play in starts next Tuesday
[00:02:01] to be followed by the NBA playoffs are here on April 20th and 21st that weekend.
[00:02:08] We got playoff matchups.
[00:02:10] So Mr logical and I wanted to kind of survey the landscape if you will.
[00:02:16] Absolutely.
[00:02:17] You know, and talk about this thing put it in the proper perspective.
[00:02:21] So you know, saying where you want to take it first Mr logical.
[00:02:24] Let's talk about this plan that you became you know begrudging her entire year.
[00:02:33] I'm not go front.
[00:02:34] I like it.
[00:02:35] I don't like the narrative surrounding it and we'll get into it in a second.
[00:02:39] But I think ultimately like I probably made this point last year and I'm gonna make
[00:02:43] it again when a team will lock it in Boston.
[00:02:52] I think Boston is like 10 games up in the East.
[00:02:54] They're like 15 games up in the East.
[00:03:02] So they're one of the exceptions where they like, you know, we can we can shed a game
[00:03:06] here then is no big deal.
[00:03:09] But if you look at seem like the Hawks and we'll get into like that the minutiae
[00:03:13] that if you got the Hawks and get a paces.
[00:03:17] So you got Hawks Pacers, April 3rd.
[00:03:21] You trying to sell out, you know, Indiana is trying to sell out the field house.
[00:03:27] Well, they're playing a Hawks and the Hawks are out of it.
[00:03:31] And they're talking about potentially moving trade young in the offseason team
[00:03:36] start to kind of peel back.
[00:03:38] We saw those years where Dane was just sitting on the bench in Portland.
[00:03:42] He wasn't playing games late April.
[00:03:44] I would have probably would have saw that same thing now if the Hawks weren't in
[00:03:49] a position to make the 9 10 play in game because we you have an opportunity
[00:03:55] to make the playoffs no matter how, you know, we'll talk about the math
[00:03:58] of how many teams make the playoffs in the NBA.
[00:04:00] But if you have an opportunity to make the playoffs and you don't put your
[00:04:04] players in, it's going to look odd.
[00:04:06] You had a problem with Dallas last year.
[00:04:10] Like they could play Luca and Kyrie potentially made the play in or they lose
[00:04:18] those games and they go from like 10 to 7 in the draft.
[00:04:22] I know that doesn't make a lot of sense to see like you can go from 10
[00:04:27] in the playing or 10 in the draft, but you had an issue with like, yo,
[00:04:31] you should just go for it.
[00:04:33] But the only reason you would go for is because the playing exists.
[00:04:37] And that's the thing.
[00:04:38] So like if I'm going to a Dallas mix game April 4th and Dallas is completely
[00:04:46] out of it, what's the incentive for Luca or Kyrie to play?
[00:04:49] Kyrie is from here.
[00:04:50] That's about it.
[00:04:51] That's the only incentive really other than, hey, I came to do it for the
[00:04:55] fans because I think with Luke, it was like, Solzhenia day or something
[00:04:58] like that.
[00:04:59] It was like they were representing his nation at the game and he was like,
[00:05:03] no, I'm playing.
[00:05:04] They still only let him play a quarter because they looked at getting
[00:05:07] a draft pick and you were upset because they didn't play.
[00:05:11] So that's why I think the playing benefits.
[00:05:15] And I don't care about none of that.
[00:05:18] I don't care about none of that.
[00:05:21] You don't say because we have 82 games that are on a schedule.
[00:05:29] Don't come through here looking for Mulligan's when your star
[00:05:34] sits 13 to 20 of those games.
[00:05:37] You know, so for example, I'm looking at these Eastern Conference
[00:05:41] standings and the Chicago Bulls are number nine.
[00:05:46] And they are six games behind number eight Miami.
[00:05:51] You know, the Hawks are eight behind Miami.
[00:05:55] So when I look at that, I can't justify these teams having the same
[00:06:00] chance of making the playoffs that they finish eight games better than
[00:06:05] now you can make the opposite argument in the West, because in the West,
[00:06:09] you know, it's all jumbled up, you know, but I would still say
[00:06:13] for a team like the Lakers, for example,
[00:06:16] you know, you got this old as dude that needs the rest of his knees
[00:06:20] and, you know, take his Epsom salt baths, you know,
[00:06:24] and you knew that coming into the season.
[00:06:26] So now he's missing all these games.
[00:06:29] You know, you got Anthony Davis sitting down.
[00:06:32] You know, you got your Anthony Davis play like 95 out of 100 games
[00:06:38] until the last couple of weeks, he got hit in the eye.
[00:06:41] That's what happens.
[00:06:42] That's like 95 percent of the game.
[00:06:44] Yeah. And guess what?
[00:06:46] It's just a narrative.
[00:06:47] And guess what?
[00:06:48] They were in ninth place before he got his eye hurt.
[00:06:50] So whatever.
[00:06:52] But LeBron still sat out games, you know.
[00:06:55] But the point being is that you had 82 games to make your case
[00:06:59] and show why you deserve a playoff spot.
[00:07:02] You chose to make a mockery out of the regular season
[00:07:06] because you wanted to put your eggs into the end season tournament basket.
[00:07:11] You know, that was more important than playing these games
[00:07:14] or whatever the case may be.
[00:07:15] So if you sit out and you only play like, say 60 to 65 games,
[00:07:21] that means that you missed 15 to 17 games along those lines.
[00:07:25] So you don't get to come back after the fact and be like,
[00:07:29] but I deserve a chance.
[00:07:30] You had a chance, you know, now when we talk about the math
[00:07:35] of how many teams makes the playoffs, you know, 30 teams in the league.
[00:07:41] Now we're up to 20 teams making the playoffs.
[00:07:44] So I like your point that you brought up last time
[00:07:47] we had this conversation.
[00:07:49] I just told you that backstage.
[00:07:50] I like your point about how now all of a sudden
[00:07:54] this game in March where you're playing somebody like the Hornets
[00:07:57] could come back to bite you if you play around, you know, or I got a reason.
[00:08:02] I'm incentivized now to care about
[00:08:07] bulls and hawks in April because the winner
[00:08:12] will host the nine 10 game or whatever like.
[00:08:14] And I as a fan, I was like, listen,
[00:08:18] I we got spring break like my son's spring break just passed.
[00:08:22] So I'm like, OK, if I want to get a ticket to a game,
[00:08:25] next versus Hawks and the Hawks are fighting for,
[00:08:28] you know, nine to 10, I know Trey Young's plan.
[00:08:31] I don't worry about unless he's injured.
[00:08:33] But if they're if they're eight games back with no playing,
[00:08:37] then I'm not paying Madison Square Garden prices to watch
[00:08:41] because if Trey Young's not playing, Jalen Roach is probably not playing
[00:08:45] because like why am I going to put my star out there
[00:08:48] when they're running out some G League guy that they called up last week
[00:08:52] just to fill out because they're they're resting their guy
[00:08:55] because they want them, they don't want the injury clause
[00:08:58] of kicking on his contract so they can trade him in the off season.
[00:09:01] So like the incentive for me to like to figure out, OK,
[00:09:04] because it's probably a game time decision.
[00:09:06] Even if this decision is before the game,
[00:09:09] I'm not willing to risk the four hundred dollars on these tickets,
[00:09:13] the train ride, the food, everything else
[00:09:16] just to get the Madison Square Garden, even though I'm right here,
[00:09:18] I'm like, you know, hop skipping a jump.
[00:09:19] But if I'm going there and you got it's not going to G League guys,
[00:09:23] but if I'm going to if I'm going to spend premium dollars,
[00:09:27] I want the entertainment that comes with it.
[00:09:29] I'm not saying these guys are show monkeys,
[00:09:31] but if you're paying me for the price
[00:09:33] because these guys are on these rosters, then I need them to play.
[00:09:37] The play in makes that happen right now.
[00:09:40] OK, Kawaii injured, you know, other rest of the injury.
[00:09:44] But if they were at seven or eight,
[00:09:47] does he rest for the rest of the season?
[00:09:48] But they're locked in at four or five.
[00:09:51] That's a different set of circumstances
[00:09:52] because they took their 82 games,
[00:09:54] they put themselves in a position where they can rest players.
[00:09:57] I don't want a team that didn't do shit all year long
[00:10:02] be able to rest players and charge me like the players are there.
[00:10:05] And that's the difference with the player for me.
[00:10:08] And it's to your point with the Lakers and LeBron,
[00:10:11] and the A.D. and everything else.
[00:10:12] LeBron plays 70 games.
[00:10:13] He's at 69 games.
[00:10:15] He's going to play a couple more friends.
[00:10:16] So he's going to play 70 games.
[00:10:17] Old guy, yes, we know he's old.
[00:10:19] And some guys are going to play 65.
[00:10:21] Halle Burton in Indiana, he came back for the
[00:10:24] to make the 65 game a sin of so he can get the big contract.
[00:10:28] I think all these guys are playing.
[00:10:30] I. Short of Miami Heat having these
[00:10:34] miracle runs from eight to the NBA finals.
[00:10:38] I don't think that's likely,
[00:10:40] but I do feel as if the seven, eight game, nine, ten game
[00:10:46] having that in play for the last six, seven weeks of your season
[00:10:51] is a good move for Adam Silver,
[00:10:53] because we looked at everything else we've been trying to do.
[00:10:55] The All Star Game is completely falling off.
[00:10:58] The evolution of like teams kind of being built from the ground up.
[00:11:03] That was almost to the wind for like 10 years.
[00:11:07] So like he's like, yo, David Stern was a legend.
[00:11:10] I'm the man that followed the legend.
[00:11:12] I'm doing the best that I can.
[00:11:14] The players grabbed all the leverage probably like 10, 11 years ago
[00:11:18] and he's been trying to peel it back as much as he could.
[00:11:22] And there's only so much he can do.
[00:11:23] He's getting shit on as one of the worst commissioners.
[00:11:25] Meanwhile, I think he's making better.
[00:11:29] Moves for the fans than Roger Adela's
[00:11:34] will see the Brazilian got them football game.
[00:11:37] Well, we'll see that.
[00:11:38] But that's where I feel like
[00:11:41] it's too is heads or tails.
[00:11:44] It's the same coin, just different sides, because, you know,
[00:11:48] you can make the argument that, you know, it makes the games matter
[00:11:53] or it is good for the fans because you get to see the stars later in the season.
[00:11:59] And, you know, that's a great point.
[00:12:01] You know, my whole point is if they were playing in the first place,
[00:12:05] we wouldn't have to even worry about this.
[00:12:07] And you're still devaluing the regular season
[00:12:10] by giving all these teams access to the playoffs
[00:12:13] because like looking at the standards right now, you know,
[00:12:17] I know like when people argue about Michael Jordan,
[00:12:19] people's like, yo, he made the playoffs.
[00:12:22] And I'm like, yeah, he made the playoffs one year with a 30 and 52 record.
[00:12:26] You don't say as I look at this, you know, right now,
[00:12:30] the Bulls are 38 and 42, the Hawks are 36 and 44.
[00:12:35] So this team that's eight games under 500
[00:12:39] don't need to be anywhere near the playoffs.
[00:12:42] And it's not I think you're looking at.
[00:12:44] I think you're looking at it from the vantage point of like the team
[00:12:47] getting shot at the playoffs because the playoffs are the best teams.
[00:12:51] But the playoffs aren't the reason for the play.
[00:12:54] I don't think the playoffs exclusively are the reason for the play in tournament.
[00:12:57] No, they're not. Yeah.
[00:12:59] I think the thing that he needs to do was to make my game
[00:13:03] that I'm the commissioner of watchable for that four week gap
[00:13:08] in between when the seasons basically over for a certain number of teams,
[00:13:12] like the Wizards, their season was over a long time ago.
[00:13:15] The Detroit season over a long time ago.
[00:13:17] I think Brooklyn basically had fallen off a couple of weeks ago.
[00:13:20] So a lot of these teams, their seasons because of bad hires, bad contracts,
[00:13:25] whether the case may be bad coaches, GMs play, whatever the factors are.
[00:13:29] So many teams just are in this position where they are not good NBA franchises.
[00:13:36] And there's a lot of teams are adjacent to that.
[00:13:39] The Hawks year should not have gone this way.
[00:13:41] It seems to go this way every year, but they follow the same demolition
[00:13:45] like course of like firing coaches, bad trades, bad contracts.
[00:13:51] And I get they shouldn't benefit from it.
[00:13:54] The play in isn't to benefit and get these teams in it
[00:13:59] because the plan is simply for the NBA
[00:14:04] to generate money for the fans.
[00:14:07] I need the fans to keep coming to games.
[00:14:10] They did not envision KD, Booker, LeBron, Steph, Clay,
[00:14:17] Dreymond, AD and all these guys in the playing.
[00:14:20] That's probably not something the NBA enjoys
[00:14:23] because a couple of those guys aren't going to be in the playoffs.
[00:14:26] Right. Right.
[00:14:28] So I think they probably didn't envision that.
[00:14:30] But as a bright town, when you have a new idea,
[00:14:32] it's going to have some some ups and downs.
[00:14:35] I feel your vantage point of like, listen, got 82 games,
[00:14:39] you figure it out.
[00:14:40] And my mind is like, well, if I'm doing a research
[00:14:43] can we talk about like we talked about in our pre-meeting,
[00:14:46] the record NBA record sales like ticket sales
[00:14:50] were at their high last year.
[00:14:52] And I believe that the end of this year when they do the calculations
[00:14:54] is going to be even higher.
[00:14:56] As the last two months,
[00:15:00] the John T Murray and Trey Young playing a game
[00:15:04] with DeMar DeRozan and Lucifical,
[00:15:07] whoever was healthy in Chicago, they didn't rest all their guys.
[00:15:11] Like they're like, listen, granny were in a 9-10,
[00:15:13] but we got to play the same way you want to Dallas to play.
[00:15:16] Yeah, I see. I see.
[00:15:17] And part of that and part of that is, you know, Trey Young
[00:15:20] just came back the other day.
[00:15:22] So he's only played one or two games back off of injury,
[00:15:27] but that's the part of the game.
[00:15:28] Like, you know, saying if your player gets hurt,
[00:15:30] you don't get to hit the reset button and say,
[00:15:33] oh, our guy was out, so let me get another chance.
[00:15:37] Like that's just not how it works.
[00:15:39] You know, just like just like if we were talking about
[00:15:41] the NFL right now, you know what I mean?
[00:15:44] And we're sitting here talking about they made it 14 teams
[00:15:48] and it made it 14 teams.
[00:15:51] How interesting is week 18 because they made it 14 teams?
[00:15:54] I was not a fan of what we were talking about the Raiders,
[00:15:57] for example, you know, because everybody was on board.
[00:16:00] You know, Antonio Pierce came through.
[00:16:03] He can't change the culture.
[00:16:04] They were playing hard for him,
[00:16:06] but we wouldn't want them in a play in scenario.
[00:16:09] We wouldn't want to be like, hey, the Raiders came on
[00:16:12] after they fired Josh McDaniel.
[00:16:13] Like let's give them another week to play in this.
[00:16:16] Yeah, but the thing about it, the extra wild card on each side
[00:16:21] is essentially a play in the game.
[00:16:23] It is, but also, but it was also set up
[00:16:27] to reward the best team because, you know, two teams were getting a buy
[00:16:32] and now that made the top part, which is what you should be doing.
[00:16:37] Like, like you're happy that Adam Silver
[00:16:40] is trying to fix the bottom of the standings.
[00:16:43] The NFL made the home field or the home
[00:16:46] yet home field advantage the important piece
[00:16:49] because now there's only one buy.
[00:16:51] So versus that.
[00:16:53] Yes, versus versus four buys is too total.
[00:16:56] And I'll give you that.
[00:16:57] And I know, you know, so I can see to that point,
[00:17:01] but adding the 14th or the 13th to 14th team into the playoffs
[00:17:08] does ramp up week 18 because it does.
[00:17:12] I don't know when I noticed this.
[00:17:14] I never really noticed before,
[00:17:15] but I remember when I did notice that the last week of the season
[00:17:18] is always like a division opponent.
[00:17:20] I don't know if that was always the case.
[00:17:22] I think it's fairly new,
[00:17:24] but I just remember when I noticed it, I'm like, that's genius
[00:17:27] because I can't rest on my guy because I don't want if I'm
[00:17:33] like I'm a Falcons fan, if I can beat New Orleans
[00:17:37] and keep them out of the playoffs, I will.
[00:17:39] But if Green Bay, for instance, is three
[00:17:44] and 12 when the game starts back to the 16 game season
[00:17:47] before they started this and they're going to rest all their guys
[00:17:50] and New Orleans is going to win and get in.
[00:17:52] There's no incentive for Green Bay.
[00:17:53] But like, let's knock New Orleans out of the playoffs.
[00:17:56] The same thing with like previous to this past season,
[00:17:59] Dan Campbell found out that Detroit wasn't going to be able to make the playoffs.
[00:18:03] He was like, well, let's ruin Green Bay season.
[00:18:05] Right. So like that.
[00:18:06] So it allowed that.
[00:18:08] But that took a while because, like I said,
[00:18:12] it was a new thing to have the vision rivalries.
[00:18:15] The play in probably has that same kind of feel.
[00:18:19] And I think it also maybe is squeezes.
[00:18:21] It makes it easier for the team that gets the one or two seed in the NBA,
[00:18:26] because the play in is going to go from, I believe, the 16th to the 19th.
[00:18:33] And then the playoffs are going to start on the 20th.
[00:18:36] So if I'm one and two seed, the seven and eight game
[00:18:40] depends on how it plays out, you know, seven, seven, eight game,
[00:18:44] the winner becomes a seven. That game was the first night.
[00:18:47] And then the nine, 10 game that winner plays the loser of seven, eight.
[00:18:52] If you get a team that had to fight to stay in the seven.
[00:18:58] And then they lose the seven, eight game
[00:19:00] and now they got to play the winner of nine, 10.
[00:19:04] And that team is on a run.
[00:19:06] They're like, oh, they're just, you know, and they're really thinking
[00:19:08] like, like a team like Philly.
[00:19:10] Philly lost in B for so many games that they just
[00:19:14] they're like falling to that play in range.
[00:19:16] I believe right now, I don't think they're in it.
[00:19:18] But I think they are.
[00:19:20] They're seven.
[00:19:21] So there's seven.
[00:19:22] But now they got their guide back.
[00:19:24] So it could help you if they got to spend a little bit more energy
[00:19:29] before game one, where you as the Bucks or the Celtics,
[00:19:33] you can kind of sit back and show rest, you guys, for a few extra days
[00:19:37] and give you guys six days of rest.
[00:19:38] And these guys are coming off of six games with 10 basketball.
[00:19:42] And not only that, but if Milwaukee finishes with the two.
[00:19:46] They better hope that Philly gets the six because, you know, word on the street
[00:19:52] is in games that in B and Maxi play this season, they're 28 and seven.
[00:19:58] I heard us that, you know, as we're going to transition
[00:20:01] to like the teams that are actually in the playoffs.
[00:20:03] Embiid is like 10th in the league in mid range jump shots.
[00:20:08] Me, yeah.
[00:20:10] And he hadn't played two months.
[00:20:12] Yeah, he's like top five in 40 point games, 50 point games, 30 point games.
[00:20:18] I think it was 30 and 15 games like just, you know, just just ridiculous.
[00:20:23] You know, he's got to stop diving on the floor for the basketball.
[00:20:25] You know, so you got to make a business decision
[00:20:29] because he dole on the floor and coming a fellow on them.
[00:20:32] That's how you got injured.
[00:20:33] First game back, dole on the floor again.
[00:20:36] I forgot who fell on them.
[00:20:37] Well, from what I was reading, from what I was reading, somebody in his camp,
[00:20:41] I don't know if it's a shooting coach or who they are trying to teach him
[00:20:47] how to fall. Yeah, control the fall versus landing on.
[00:20:51] I heard the same thing with Chet Holmgren.
[00:20:54] Yeah, something like don't try to keep yourself up because you're so big.
[00:20:58] You can potentially break a bone in your foot right this fall.
[00:21:01] It's like WWE almost, you know, to me, like just take this bump real quick.
[00:21:06] Get back up and fall on the floor and get up.
[00:21:08] Yeah, indeed had someone fall on his knee.
[00:21:11] It's the same thing like the tangent drew.
[00:21:14] Bledso did the same thing.
[00:21:15] Tom Brady got in the game because Drew Bledso
[00:21:18] slowed up on the sideline and got blasted and got his lungs collapsed
[00:21:22] healed Tom Brady went out of the game
[00:21:24] and I believe the AAC championship game.
[00:21:26] Bledso comes in the first time he scrambles.
[00:21:29] He slows down by the sideline again and gets hit again.
[00:21:32] I remember watching the game like.
[00:21:34] Thought you just lost your job to this.
[00:21:37] Hey, job.
[00:21:38] You did that and you did exact same thing.
[00:21:40] First time you got hit.
[00:21:41] So yeah, and be stopped out on the floor.
[00:21:44] You've got twenty two year olds.
[00:21:45] I better do that.
[00:21:46] Yeah, so, you know, we're looking at this, you know, coming into tonight,
[00:21:50] you know, Boston was down 30 to the Knicks at one point,
[00:21:54] but they're all wrapped up in the one seed.
[00:21:57] But the number two seed is not settled just yet.
[00:22:01] So Milwaukee holds it right now, but Mr.
[00:22:05] Antitokumpo, you know, has a soleus strain, you know, which I'm no doctor,
[00:22:13] but I know it's close enough to the Achilles
[00:22:15] to give me a little bit of fear going forward.
[00:22:19] So so Dame Lillard mentioned before that he had the same injury at one point.
[00:22:25] It was a one to two week healing time just from my Google's,
[00:22:29] you know, it said one to three weeks.
[00:22:32] Yannis is obviously shut down for the rest of the regular season.
[00:22:36] Playoff start on the 20th.
[00:22:37] We'll see if they play on the 21st to get him an extra day.
[00:22:41] But as of right now, from this moment, he would have nine extra days.
[00:22:46] So with that being said,
[00:22:50] if you're Milwaukee, you know, saying this is where I'm
[00:22:54] firing back rivers.
[00:22:55] Oh, that's so jazz.
[00:22:56] Can OK, so no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:22:58] This is where I'm going to take it back to the play in.
[00:23:01] You know, saying if I'm a walkie, do I want to follow the three?
[00:23:07] And not in a void, Philadelphia or Miami potentially.
[00:23:12] Well, see, the problem with fall in the three
[00:23:15] is that you still could get Philly.
[00:23:20] Because the pace is only a game up.
[00:23:22] Yeah.
[00:23:26] And I don't know how they're treating the Halliburne's injury
[00:23:29] or any other injury management and time management with the
[00:23:34] with the players and their team.
[00:23:36] So falling the three, you still could get Philly.
[00:23:43] I would rest on the fact that I think I have better players.
[00:23:49] And I'm taking on anybody.
[00:23:51] I think you play a very dangerous game because I imagine that these guys are
[00:23:57] peak mental sharpness, peak physical sharpness,
[00:24:02] granted, everybody's injury injury prone as a team.
[00:24:05] Like it is the sport you've been playing since October.
[00:24:08] Some guys are hurt, ankles are hurt, knees are hurt,
[00:24:10] fingers need to be taped together.
[00:24:13] But the last thing I want to give is a mental edge
[00:24:17] to another team where
[00:24:21] you are the bus and you fall to three
[00:24:25] and Indiana is like, oh, they fell to us thinking we'd be an easier out.
[00:24:31] And then that galvanizes them a little bit.
[00:24:34] Besides the fact that the Pacers beat them four times this season.
[00:24:41] Yeah. Or you have a situation where you got Philly
[00:24:46] and Philly sees that Milwaukee is trying to get to three to avoid playing them.
[00:24:52] So if you do match up with them, you have the psychological edge.
[00:24:55] We talked about it all the time.
[00:24:56] But like they talked about Jordan playing golf with a guy to try to get in his head
[00:25:00] or he'd make up a story by like some guy says something to him on the bench.
[00:25:04] Sometimes that psychological edge is enough.
[00:25:07] Or just like just being in a certain kind of zone.
[00:25:10] You know, Kobe game seven when he couldn't knock on his shot.
[00:25:14] He was like, you know, I'm aggressively rebound into like 15 rebounds.
[00:25:18] Some of these guys can turn on these switches.
[00:25:20] I don't think they have the coach in Milwaukee to really do anything out of the ordinary.
[00:25:26] I think everything has to.
[00:25:28] I think everything has to land in the place
[00:25:31] because he doesn't handle the press conference well
[00:25:35] for a guy who is one of championship and coach a lot of years.
[00:25:38] He doesn't seem to handle criticism well.
[00:25:41] His kid doesn't handle criticism well.
[00:25:43] Just collectively, I don't know how great of a CEO of my organization you are.
[00:25:50] I can nobody ever talk about travel staff.
[00:25:52] He could travel staff under the bus.
[00:25:56] Why does nobody ever like no.
[00:25:58] Why does nobody ever talk about his other son?
[00:26:00] His other son gets the Jeffrey Jordan treatment.
[00:26:03] Well, I mean, we all got our favorites, you know, but yeah.
[00:26:08] So I think that.
[00:26:11] Milwaukee, depending on the matchup,
[00:26:13] could go home in the first round either way.
[00:26:16] You know, you know, it's happened to us here, but you honest, you honest,
[00:26:19] right on his back because they could like you mentioned, they could end up
[00:26:24] with Miami again and Miami is the worst because Miami knows
[00:26:30] they can beat Milwaukee.
[00:26:31] They know they can beat Milwaukee at full strength.
[00:26:34] They know they can beat Milwaukee.
[00:26:36] They know how to get inside the honest's head.
[00:26:40] And they don't have Drew Holiday this time.
[00:26:43] We saw what Jimmy Butler did to them last year with Drew Holiday.
[00:26:47] I think Miami, what Miami has is this this.
[00:26:52] There's no price on Miami to succeed.
[00:26:55] Right.
[00:26:56] And I don't think there is an overwhelming disposition
[00:27:00] to collapse in the Vinstitute because I don't think they view losing
[00:27:04] the first round as failure.
[00:27:07] I think they'll just if they lose in the first round,
[00:27:10] they'll retool the regroup.
[00:27:13] Miami kind of sells itself as a free agent destination
[00:27:16] because a lot of professional athletes already live in Miami as is.
[00:27:21] So I think they're in a position to where we still can get a piece here,
[00:27:25] a piece there even if we lose this year,
[00:27:28] whereas some teams look at it like, oh, we got to win it all right now.
[00:27:31] First round exits no good.
[00:27:33] If Dallas Susan, the first round, they're probably going to hold team up.
[00:27:37] Whereas Miami doesn't seem to do that.
[00:27:39] They just seem to retool Duncan Robinson set the bench for like a year.
[00:27:43] So after he signed a big contract
[00:27:45] and then the last couple of years in the playoffs has been coming on.
[00:27:48] So I think that's the belief in Miami.
[00:27:50] I think Miami walks into arena like we're playing with house money.
[00:27:53] Like I went to the last weekend and I took I had 500 bucks.
[00:27:57] I won a little bit and I was like, I'm not paying for anything
[00:28:00] because you know, with my card, I'm paid with cash.
[00:28:02] So they were cash all Saturday night.
[00:28:04] Everything else buying then I camp a little bit Sunday morning
[00:28:07] before we checked out.
[00:28:08] I walked up with $499.
[00:28:11] So I was like, I know I spent some money, but I spent their money
[00:28:14] that they gave me on these burgers and these drinks and everything else
[00:28:18] that I was getting. I think Miami treats the NBA playoffs like we're playing
[00:28:21] with house money. And don't forget, you know, they lost
[00:28:24] the first play in game last year, you know, before they went on their run.
[00:28:28] So, you know, they were truly backs against the wall.
[00:28:31] We're coming out swinging and then they went and beat Milwaukee in the first round.
[00:28:36] But look at that one and then won a game in NBA finals.
[00:28:40] Yeah. But looking at the four, five, six here,
[00:28:46] the Sixers finish out with Orlando in Brooklyn.
[00:28:51] The Pacers have the Cavs in the Hawks
[00:28:54] and Orlando has Philly in Milwaukee.
[00:28:57] So I'm just going to go ahead and probably keep Orlando in the six
[00:29:01] because I think they lose to Philly.
[00:29:05] I think the Pacers will win both games.
[00:29:10] Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:29:11] I'm sorry. I said that wrong. I said that wrong.
[00:29:14] Yeah, again, Philly in the end of six, Orlando in the five.
[00:29:17] OK. Yeah. Well, yeah.
[00:29:19] But I think it's going to finish reversed.
[00:29:22] I think Orlando is going to fall behind.
[00:29:25] Yeah, they're going to fall behind Indiana, you know.
[00:29:28] But then as I look at this,
[00:29:32] the Sixers are only a game back.
[00:29:34] So if the Sixers can get into the six seed, they avoid the play in.
[00:29:39] They get in bead an extra few days of rest.
[00:29:43] So I think it may be who them to try
[00:29:46] to get the six and not do the Dallas thing that they did last year
[00:29:49] and just accept your fate.
[00:29:51] Well, Dallas accepted their fate because they were accepted being an 11.
[00:29:55] Right. That's different.
[00:29:56] I think.
[00:30:00] If I'm Philly.
[00:30:04] I notice is a gamble.
[00:30:09] But you want seven?
[00:30:11] I'll take seven.
[00:30:15] So you can get Milwaukee with my lineup rested.
[00:30:20] Against Miami in the play in that first do or die match up.
[00:30:27] And then I'll take that.
[00:30:28] You get Milwaukee.
[00:30:30] I'll take Milwaukee with.
[00:30:34] Yon is potentially not playing or being rusty.
[00:30:39] Minimum he's hampered.
[00:30:42] And by doing that and by doing that,
[00:30:45] you stay on the opposite side of the bracket is Boston
[00:30:49] to where I got the rivers.
[00:30:51] A coach, I know you know, is Tennessee's, you know, if he makes good
[00:30:56] in game adjustments, you know, you know, if he, you know, if he can rally
[00:31:00] the players in a tough time because he's been your coach.
[00:31:03] So if you know, we can't then it's like, oh, yeah, I'll take that match up.
[00:31:08] So looking at the East.
[00:31:11] If it was if this was the mythological inventational.
[00:31:14] You know, looking at one through 10.
[00:31:19] What playoff matchups would you want to see?
[00:31:26] I want I'm a little bit nostalgia.
[00:31:29] I'm going to Nick Spacer's.
[00:31:31] Hey, I got that one.
[00:31:33] Look at that. We're in synergy.
[00:31:35] I like Nick Spacer's.
[00:31:37] I like I like the feeling that the Knicks are back.
[00:31:42] I like Halliburton being a rising star.
[00:31:46] We talked about it earlier, different sports groups.
[00:31:49] Everybody wants the same guys to be stars every year.
[00:31:52] But listen, we got to get some guys under 30 on the superstar trajectory
[00:31:58] because we're going to lose four to five of them over the next 18 months.
[00:32:03] And then how better to do that than show up against New York?
[00:32:07] Show up against New York, biggest stage or Jalen Brunson show up in New York,
[00:32:14] biggest stage.
[00:32:15] I thought Trey Yan was going to have that trajectory, that takeoff
[00:32:18] when he was doing the ice cold in the garden.
[00:32:22] But the team doesn't seem to like really feel that anyway.
[00:32:25] And it's like, but that's that's just a sign of an organization
[00:32:28] that's not run with, you know, most.
[00:32:31] I don't want to say poorly run because I never work for anyone.
[00:32:34] These organizations, it does seem like certain teams have done it better
[00:32:39] with that same type of talent.
[00:32:42] It depends on decisions made around.
[00:32:43] But I like I like Knicks Pacers.
[00:32:45] OK, I like the old school aspect of it.
[00:32:48] And I guess I like I like the big city versus small town.
[00:32:51] I like the star.
[00:32:52] I like the new reggie Miller, Patrick Ewan, all of the stuff
[00:32:56] that we really need in basketball, because right now
[00:32:58] all the stars, quote unquote, are out West.
[00:33:01] We need some guys here at 7 30 p.m.
[00:33:04] Eastern time.
[00:33:05] Right.
[00:33:08] I can't be up all night.
[00:33:09] I'm going to.
[00:33:10] Yeah, I had that one too.
[00:33:13] I got Boston and Philly.
[00:33:15] You know, I would want Philly as the eight because it brings
[00:33:20] Joe L and B with no expectations.
[00:33:23] Boston has been running the East all season.
[00:33:28] And you look down below and you're like, hold up.
[00:33:32] We got to play Joel and be in the first round.
[00:33:35] Yeah, but I think Boston.
[00:33:36] I think Boston's so much.
[00:33:39] I want to say so much better than.
[00:33:41] But I think there's so much more fluid.
[00:33:44] You better get the ball across the timeline player.
[00:33:46] They definitely are.
[00:33:47] But I think they play.
[00:33:48] I think they play their game their way.
[00:33:50] And I don't know if Philly changes how you play
[00:33:53] because even this game tonight when they were down like 30.
[00:33:56] I remember I was watching it early before like I was kind of
[00:33:58] straight in my area.
[00:34:00] The score was like 20.
[00:34:03] For it was like New York was up to.
[00:34:07] Then they got like three layups.
[00:34:08] They went up eight.
[00:34:10] Boston came back hit two threes.
[00:34:12] The score was 24 22.
[00:34:14] Tim's caught a time out.
[00:34:15] He's furious.
[00:34:17] And it's like that's what they do.
[00:34:20] They literally just think they'll hit the back to back
[00:34:23] threes or they'll hit threes out of four or five possessions.
[00:34:27] They're so far ahead of everyone.
[00:34:30] And I'm not hearing a lot of pundits.
[00:34:34] People in our groups.
[00:34:35] People I talk to sports wise even you and I in conversations
[00:34:39] saying that they're going to win it mainly because we talk about
[00:34:42] them being kind of prisoners of own success for previous years.
[00:34:47] But having a 13 that have game lead over
[00:34:51] a team that has Dame Little and Giannis on it.
[00:34:54] If I told you last year that a team in the East
[00:34:59] is going to have Dame Willard
[00:35:03] and whatever superstar they already had from the previous season
[00:35:08] and Boston's going to have a 13 and a half game lead on that team.
[00:35:12] You're going to be like so Dame Willard Miss half the season.
[00:35:15] Yeah, we would be like put $50 on it.
[00:35:18] You know, like if they went to Miami
[00:35:23] and like I told you like they're going to be they're going to be 13 and a half games
[00:35:27] below they can be a number two.
[00:35:30] But Boston will be about 13 and a half games.
[00:35:33] You know, there's no way they spoke with you.
[00:35:35] It is going to be something that you're going to think like
[00:35:37] something catastrophic went wrong with other teams for them to have a lead
[00:35:42] like that in this entire year.
[00:35:45] It's been basically after like 30 games
[00:35:48] they've had.
[00:35:50] They just increase the lead that they had on these other teams.
[00:35:53] We talked about Milwaukee with their 30 and 13
[00:35:56] with one coach and 15 and 16 with the other one
[00:36:00] or something 19 and 20 with the other is ridiculous.
[00:36:05] So, yeah, I think Boston deserves a little bit more credit.
[00:36:09] If I'm Boston, I don't fear Philly
[00:36:12] because in being as Miss games in the playoffs
[00:36:16] pretty much every season the last few years, either something he came to the playoffs
[00:36:20] with as far as a nagging injury.
[00:36:23] He came in either some low management or he had a bump.
[00:36:28] Like I think he lost.
[00:36:29] He missed the game against Brooklyn a couple of years ago.
[00:36:31] He missed another game in another series.
[00:36:34] Was it last year?
[00:36:35] Yeah, when he fell in.
[00:36:38] When he fell out of bounds or whatever it was.
[00:36:40] Yeah, that was the first round.
[00:36:41] Yeah. Yeah, that was last year.
[00:36:43] But then I thought about Orlando and Cleveland.
[00:36:46] You know, you got these two upstarts, you know, young teams.
[00:36:50] The only problem with that series, if it happens
[00:36:54] is that it would probably be the closest thing to college basketball
[00:36:57] you'll see because the final scores might be 82 to 79 or something.
[00:37:01] The law knows last because Donovan 98 to 94 is going to be like a great game.
[00:37:06] Yeah. Yeah. Donovan Mitchell's going to chuck all the shots.
[00:37:09] You know, Atlanta's going to play great defense
[00:37:12] and Orlando is not really a scoring team.
[00:37:16] They don't score very well outside of
[00:37:19] Bancaro and every now and again, Franz Wagner will get hot.
[00:37:24] Jalen Suggs has turned himself into a 40 percent three point shooter this season.
[00:37:29] So there's that.
[00:37:30] But they just don't do it enough.
[00:37:32] But I would like to see that series just from the standpoint of
[00:37:35] getting some new blood into the second round.
[00:37:38] Yeah, because I have one of those teams win that series.
[00:37:41] That's going to be the only one they win.
[00:37:43] So yeah, and then finally, Bucks and he I want another go at it.
[00:37:50] But so you want so you want the heat at seven and you want six or eight?
[00:37:55] Yeah. You should work for the NBA.
[00:37:58] You apply right?
[00:37:59] Shadow San Antonio Spurs.
[00:38:01] Hi, my boy. Hi, you first.
[00:38:03] The NBA wants it.
[00:38:05] You know, Adam Silver.
[00:38:08] Adam Silver right now has a text message in his draft
[00:38:12] and he's ready to hit send.
[00:38:14] Send like, listen, man, I need
[00:38:18] Celtic sectors one eight the first round.
[00:38:21] Bucks, he two seven.
[00:38:24] Yeah. And need it.
[00:38:26] You got to have it because the Knicks sell themselves
[00:38:30] and the four or five being just a toss up
[00:38:33] that end of itself is curious.
[00:38:35] Orlando kind of coming back because they've been down for a lot of years.
[00:38:39] They've been on that Detroit run where they were,
[00:38:41] they really know below average team for a while.
[00:38:44] And it seems like they're constantly drafting the lottery.
[00:38:47] So that's that's enough.
[00:38:49] That's enough of a story.
[00:38:51] Cleveland granted is not the LeBron Cleveland, but Cleveland had their buzz.
[00:38:55] I think their fans are kind of still riding off 2016.
[00:38:59] Well, as their best player, Donovan Mitchell would say,
[00:39:03] it's fucking April.
[00:39:07] It does. So.
[00:39:08] Oh, yeah. So I think I think Adam Silver is like, listen,
[00:39:13] Chicago, you had your run Atlanta, your terribly run organization.
[00:39:16] So hopefully you guys lose.
[00:39:19] Sit this one out.
[00:39:20] Like, yeah, I can get my I can get my Celtic Sixers.
[00:39:25] Bucks, he he's because the West, the West is so chaotic.
[00:39:31] Right. Yeah, that's where I'm going to joyfully chaotic.
[00:39:35] So so right now, the only series that we know of
[00:39:39] right now that is for sure happening is Dallas against the Clippers.
[00:39:44] That's that's starting off with you at that.
[00:39:46] We got years. We got years lab being dope.
[00:39:49] Yeah. And and you know what? Here's something for you.
[00:39:52] Luca has played 28 playoff games in his career.
[00:39:57] 13 of them have been against the Clippers.
[00:40:00] I think he's averaging probably 37.
[00:40:04] He is averaging 99 or something.
[00:40:06] He is averaging 33 and a half, nine and a half assists and 8.8 rebounds.
[00:40:10] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:40:11] I put it at the top of my head.
[00:40:13] I knew it was some crazy like that.
[00:40:14] Yeah. So but for the first time, he would be playing the Clippers
[00:40:20] with other weapons because before it was just him
[00:40:24] going up against Paul, George and Kawhi.
[00:40:27] So Paul, George and Kawhi went out and got James Harden.
[00:40:30] He's got Kyrie now.
[00:40:32] They did make some moves at the deadline.
[00:40:34] You know, there's something like they went.
[00:40:36] They got their two uncles up and fight. Yeah.
[00:40:38] Yeah. There's something like 15 and three, you know,
[00:40:41] since they put Gafford in the starting line up.
[00:40:44] But here's what's interesting to me about that series.
[00:40:49] There's there's three things.
[00:40:51] One is this Paul George's last run with the Clippers.
[00:40:56] Two is this Ty Lou's last run with the Clippers,
[00:41:00] because I know last year we heard all the rumors about him
[00:41:03] potentially wanting to step down and all that.
[00:41:06] But third and most important reason that this series is important to me
[00:41:14] is that when I look at it.
[00:41:21] This is one of those change of the guard series.
[00:41:25] You know, where Luca is announcing himself potential MVP.
[00:41:32] They they have played five times this season,
[00:41:36] six, if you count the end season tournament.
[00:41:39] The Clippers won four of those matchups.
[00:41:43] But they have not played since Dallas has made the trades.
[00:41:50] So this is all brand new.
[00:41:53] You know, it's a whole new world.
[00:41:57] So I'm interested to see how this plays out.
[00:42:02] I like.
[00:42:05] I like it.
[00:42:06] One thing I do like a lot in Dallas' favor.
[00:42:11] Shout out to Dallas, Mike, because when he said this like a month ago,
[00:42:14] I was like, man, Dallas doesn't have a shot.
[00:42:17] But when you turn around, you get high at the right time.
[00:42:20] You have a shot.
[00:42:21] We have a guy like Kyrie.
[00:42:23] You have a shot just because Kyrie put so much pressure on defense,
[00:42:28] even as a smaller guard, he doesn't play like if he's listed at six
[00:42:33] to a six three in his mind, he's 68, 69.
[00:42:36] I saw him listed at 61.
[00:42:39] Yeah.
[00:42:39] And I've seen him walking next to kids that he's autographed
[00:42:42] T-shirts and jerseys for.
[00:42:44] I don't know how much I don't think he's that tall.
[00:42:46] Probably probably close to five, 11 or six foot even.
[00:42:49] Yeah.
[00:42:50] Luca being, you know, big body, just waking control of the game.
[00:42:53] He doesn't get rattled like you can speed him up.
[00:42:57] You can't play through him because he's such a big, strong body.
[00:43:00] And he has a complete autonomy of the offense.
[00:43:04] And where Kyrie fits into that is like, you do this.
[00:43:09] I do this thing that people can't guard either, but differently.
[00:43:13] So if the Clippers can figure out.
[00:43:17] What their strategy is going to be, because you're not going to.
[00:43:22] Suppress their skills.
[00:43:24] You're not going to be able to take him out of game.
[00:43:25] You're not going to have a situation where Kyrie goes three for 18
[00:43:28] and Luca goes six for 22 in the same game.
[00:43:31] Like I don't care how great you think you play defense
[00:43:34] because both of them get to the paint.
[00:43:37] They don't just settle for threes.
[00:43:38] If you're playing the game against like Steph and Clay
[00:43:41] and they're both shooting threes, yeah, they both,
[00:43:43] they can go three for 19 and six for 22
[00:43:46] because they are taking their, their favorite shots,
[00:43:49] which are open threes.
[00:43:51] Kyrie is like, I'm getting to the cup.
[00:43:54] You're going to file me on at least three or four of these layup attempts.
[00:43:58] So I'm going to get my 90% free throw percentage to the line.
[00:44:02] Luca's a score.
[00:44:04] Same thing.
[00:44:05] I'm getting to the cup.
[00:44:06] You can't play through me.
[00:44:08] You're going to hit me.
[00:44:09] I'm going to get eight to 12 free throws as well.
[00:44:11] So that's the difference where like you, you can't expect them just to go
[00:44:15] three for 19 to be ineffective.
[00:44:17] Even if they don't shoot a great percentage,
[00:44:19] they're going to get a lot of free throws opportunity.
[00:44:21] So can you.
[00:44:24] Rush them and blitz them with enough bodies?
[00:44:28] Can you get Russ to spend 22 minutes
[00:44:31] exhaust himself chasing Kyrie or making Kyrie chase him on offense?
[00:44:36] Then can you get power to, you know,
[00:44:40] get a few minutes of just bumping with Luca and make Luca just exhaust,
[00:44:44] burn a little bit more energy offensively and you just play tough defense.
[00:44:48] You take a file or two because if you can't do that,
[00:44:51] if you're getting, if you put them in a situation of tired,
[00:44:54] doesn't make adjustments to where these guys are both getting off.
[00:44:58] It's a rat.
[00:44:59] They can shut it down.
[00:45:00] And oh, by the way, Kawhi has missed the last six games with knee
[00:45:04] inflammation. So, you know, we'll have to find it was good three games ago,
[00:45:08] but they're locked into the four or five. So it was like rest.
[00:45:12] Yeah, maybe.
[00:45:14] And maybe they don't care about home court because the home court,
[00:45:18] they are locked into the four or five.
[00:45:20] The home court has not been settled.
[00:45:22] And if you're in the four or five,
[00:45:24] you got to go on the road to the one seed in the second round anyway.
[00:45:29] Yeah. And which is going to be Denver more than likely.
[00:45:32] Yeah, Denver.
[00:45:33] So Yoke is with the 40 burger put up 41 on Minnesota last night.
[00:45:37] And the presumptive defensive player of the year, Rudy Gobert.
[00:45:42] Carl Anthony Towns sounds like he'll be back at any moment.
[00:45:46] So that would be a good thing for Minnesota.
[00:45:49] But when I was looking at the West trying to figure out what series I want.
[00:45:55] You know what my number one series is?
[00:45:59] Was here.
[00:46:01] Give me Kevin Durant going back to Chesapeake Arena
[00:46:06] in OKC.
[00:46:09] Oh, that's what you want.
[00:46:11] That's what I want.
[00:46:12] I want the cupcake bowl.
[00:46:16] So you've got to get the suns up to six or you've got the thunder getting to two
[00:46:21] even more, you know?
[00:46:24] So right now New Orleans
[00:46:27] has the time breaker on Phoenix.
[00:46:28] I believe they're a half game up coming into tonight.
[00:46:32] So it's probably more than likely that New Orleans is going to finish as six.
[00:46:37] So I would probably have to get Oklahoma City up to two.
[00:46:44] And, you know, so but look at this.
[00:46:48] You know, I would like to see
[00:46:52] if I can get it, you know, I would like to see wolves.
[00:46:58] And I know this is going to make America mad.
[00:47:00] So let me just go ahead and get up, get it out the way.
[00:47:03] Wolves and kings.
[00:47:08] So that means that means I got no stuff.
[00:47:12] I mean, I want no stuff.
[00:47:13] I want no LeBron.
[00:47:17] I don't want it now.
[00:47:20] I would rather probably have the Lakers, you know, even though Golden States
[00:47:24] defense has been coming on as of late, you know,
[00:47:30] if I can't get any of that, I'll probably take Lakers and Nuggets in the first round.
[00:47:41] Unfortunately,
[00:47:44] I don't think as I'm looking up to Lakers that brandy.
[00:47:48] No, I'm looking at.
[00:47:55] I'm not sure that the Lakers team is as
[00:48:02] mostly as good as their record.
[00:48:04] I still see them as a threat
[00:48:07] because in the playoffs, you need.
[00:48:12] You need a third guy.
[00:48:14] Excuse me. I got to pop up here.
[00:48:15] You got to get rid of.
[00:48:16] Show that again. Yeah.
[00:48:17] Yeah, I'm short. Don't show it to me.
[00:48:20] You need a third guy that can work independently of the other two guys
[00:48:28] and make you a threat.
[00:48:30] I'm not sure Dilo is your third guy.
[00:48:34] And he can get you like a 32 and seven game.
[00:48:39] And like something, I know 32 seems like a lot,
[00:48:43] but in a seven game series, coaches going to make adjustments.
[00:48:47] They're going to figure out what your favorite plays are,
[00:48:49] what your favorite sets are, what the score is, what you like to run.
[00:48:53] And you need a guy that can just neutralize that.
[00:48:56] And I don't know if the Lakers have that.
[00:48:57] So I don't know what they will look like in a seven game series because of team.
[00:49:00] I imagine that they probably I think they can sweat by Denver in the first round
[00:49:05] if they did make that.
[00:49:07] Yeah, you got to get the others involved.
[00:49:10] You know, yeah, that's part of the reason I want Denver and the Lakers.
[00:49:15] Just getting the.
[00:49:16] Yeah, get the Lakers out of here as quickly as possible.
[00:49:19] Well, I think the playing is probably going to do that.
[00:49:21] You know, we'll see.
[00:49:23] I mean, as of right now, I believe they would play.
[00:49:25] They keep kind of disappointing that they're in the play in.
[00:49:28] And I get that it's it's you should be building on momentum.
[00:49:32] And I feel I feel for the Lakers mainly because I am a huge LeBron fan.
[00:49:37] I do like a D.
[00:49:39] I just every year when I watch these rosters get built.
[00:49:44] And I look at their team is like you just keep getting worse
[00:49:49] where you need to get better.
[00:49:51] And the Lakers have not the Lakers have not beat the Kings this year.
[00:49:56] You know, if I remember correctly, if it was tonight,
[00:50:01] it would be Lakers in Golden State.
[00:50:03] Correct. You know, we'll be at Staples.
[00:50:06] You know, what is called?
[00:50:08] I'm sorry.
[00:50:10] I mean, yep, there you go.
[00:50:12] And then, you know, then it would have to be Phoenix against Sacramento.
[00:50:20] So in Phoenix, in Phoenix.
[00:50:22] So, you know, you could theoretically get KD against.
[00:50:27] Like if the Suns were to lose,
[00:50:30] you could potentially get KD against LeBron in a go home situation.
[00:50:34] KD versus Steph and a go home situation,
[00:50:37] which is another bit of proof in my estimation
[00:50:41] that the playing wasn't built to help Steph LeBron
[00:50:45] as some of these older players
[00:50:46] because it puts them against each other.
[00:50:48] Like so, we got to stop this.
[00:50:50] We have to stop the non-sustainable theory
[00:50:53] that the NBA is making adjustments in their playoff format
[00:50:57] to benefit one guy.
[00:50:59] If they would if if that was the case,
[00:51:02] the Warriors, Lakers and Suns would be four, five and six.
[00:51:08] If the NBA cared about getting certain players
[00:51:11] into the playoffs, then the Lakers, Warriors
[00:51:15] and the Suns would be four, five and six,
[00:51:19] whether it's free throw attempts,
[00:51:21] whether it's suspensions for guys or technicals,
[00:51:24] whatever it is, if they really want to manipulate
[00:51:27] and get certain guys into these playoffs,
[00:51:31] it would be that way.
[00:51:32] But it isn't the case.
[00:51:33] So you guys can stop posting it,
[00:51:36] it's not realistic, get out of your goddamn feelings
[00:51:40] and just look at basketball.
[00:51:41] I was like, listen, I'm trying to get this check.
[00:51:43] This is why I had this tournament.
[00:51:45] I don't give a damn about one guy or two guys
[00:51:49] because either way we're gonna talk about it.
[00:51:52] We're gonna watch it.
[00:51:53] We're gonna buy the jerseys.
[00:51:55] We're gonna buy the hats.
[00:51:56] We're gonna watch their podcasts.
[00:51:58] We'll do all the stuff.
[00:52:00] Stop acting like it's this huge conspiracy.
[00:52:02] This is not really getting off my chest.
[00:52:03] It's like, I don't want to say it.
[00:52:05] But in the next few weeks, just cut it out.
[00:52:08] Just cut it out.
[00:52:09] Just cut it out.
[00:52:11] I was gonna say take a guess about what's getting clipped.
[00:52:15] Yo, post it, share it, take it wherever I'm about it.
[00:52:19] Listen, I don't just blow V8
[00:52:21] because my voice sounds good over this microphone.
[00:52:23] It doesn't make any sense to think that
[00:52:26] because if that's the case, I would rather have these guys.
[00:52:30] If I needed more games,
[00:52:34] I would've ensured that they got the foul calls
[00:52:37] in certain situations.
[00:52:39] I would assure that Scott Foster didn't ref any games
[00:52:42] where Chris Paul was playing.
[00:52:44] I would make sure things worked out
[00:52:46] in a certain way to where these guys made it.
[00:52:49] You can't manipulate it.
[00:52:50] It's not a thing.
[00:52:51] So get out of your feelings,
[00:52:53] get out of your Twitter thumbs.
[00:52:56] No one cares that much.
[00:52:57] They only care about money.
[00:52:58] You talk to the huge bill.
[00:53:00] Oh, so...
[00:53:00] They only care about money.
[00:53:03] Whatever generates money.
[00:53:05] Yeah, while Mr. Logical was up here
[00:53:07] being all dismissive and shit.
[00:53:10] Yes, I get that.
[00:53:10] You know, I said...
[00:53:11] I don't care about your feelings.
[00:53:12] I don't care at all.
[00:53:14] After last night, Denver is a game up on OKC
[00:53:18] and Minnesota for the number one seed in the West.
[00:53:22] But the plot thickens.
[00:53:25] Both of those teams have the tiebreaker over Denver.
[00:53:28] So Denver could finish as low as number three,
[00:53:31] depending on how these last couple of games
[00:53:34] end up in the regular season.
[00:53:36] So Denver's not quite out of the woods.
[00:53:38] Just get Mr. Logical.
[00:53:41] Yeah, I mean...
[00:53:43] It's a tight race and I'm excited for it.
[00:53:48] I wish it was covered a little bit more.
[00:53:51] And without animosity, I think it's very dope
[00:53:55] that the Timberwolves and the Thunder are this year's
[00:54:00] you know, Sacramento Kings.
[00:54:02] Because you're gonna need that.
[00:54:03] I need more stars.
[00:54:06] I need more guys from these other teams
[00:54:09] that are in MVP conversation.
[00:54:11] I need more guys.
[00:54:12] Yeah, I was just gonna say earlier...
[00:54:13] Being on TV, I need more guys in commercials.
[00:54:16] I as a league, I as a proverbial sense is like the EPA.
[00:54:21] I need this because the rookie classes that are coming in,
[00:54:25] this one, Wimby is an anomaly.
[00:54:28] You're not gonna get another seven foot five guy.
[00:54:30] They can do what he does.
[00:54:31] But Skoo Henderson, I think he has a shoe deal.
[00:54:35] I don't know if anyone's seen a commercial with him in it
[00:54:38] and it seems like every has been successful.
[00:54:41] The projected 2024 draft class
[00:54:44] doesn't seem to have a lot of stars in it.
[00:54:46] I think Zach Eadie is probably one of the biggest ones.
[00:54:49] But most of people are saying he's not a viable candidate.
[00:54:52] So you need to get some of these guys in.
[00:54:54] I'm gonna call somebody compare him to Tyler Hensville
[00:54:56] today as far as he was great in college
[00:54:59] but isn't expected to really translate into the league
[00:55:02] in that way.
[00:55:03] Hensville should have been better
[00:55:04] because he was smaller and can move better.
[00:55:06] Eadie is so big, it's like...
[00:55:09] Excuse me.
[00:55:11] I don't know what he can do.
[00:55:12] Yeah, I can't wait to that Eadie with me.
[00:55:15] If he has a shoe on the screen,
[00:55:16] I don't know what he could do.
[00:55:17] Yeah, I can't wait to that Eadie when we match up.
[00:55:22] He'd probably be able to shut down...
[00:55:23] He'll probably match up with a guy like Anthony Davis
[00:55:26] but if Anthony Davis takes him 18 feet from the hoop.
[00:55:29] But you know what I mean?
[00:55:30] Like you had your get it off my chest,
[00:55:33] your mini get it off my chest.
[00:55:35] Indulge me for a second.
[00:55:38] As to five,
[00:55:40] I really hate group think.
[00:55:44] You know what I mean?
[00:55:45] It's okay to come to logical conclusions
[00:55:48] that everyone can see.
[00:55:52] It makes sense, right?
[00:55:53] But I was listening to a bunch of podcasts today,
[00:55:57] and all season long, I ain't heard none of this.
[00:56:02] And then here we are the last few games
[00:56:03] that a regular season and people are talking about.
[00:56:05] Anthony Edwards is a top five MVP candidate.
[00:56:09] Where did that come from?
[00:56:11] Well, it should have been the case all year long.
[00:56:13] I know, but the point being is that...
[00:56:17] Now people are, I think people are looking at it
[00:56:19] and they're looking at it.
[00:56:20] But guys, I don't think it's people jumping on the wings.
[00:56:23] I think people just kind of looking like, okay, who is?
[00:56:27] Cause a lot of times the MVP candidate goes back
[00:56:29] to wherever they picked in October.
[00:56:31] We're talking about in football every,
[00:56:32] pick in July and August.
[00:56:35] So as the conversation started to narrow down,
[00:56:39] they're probably noticing that guys on fifth seeded teams
[00:56:44] are getting more love than guys on two and one.
[00:56:47] And then the guys in the two and one seeded teams
[00:56:49] are being broken apart because like, oh, well, you have
[00:56:52] a guy who could potentially be the defensive player
[00:56:54] of the year as a teammate.
[00:56:56] So he can't, you can't be an MVP cause you have that.
[00:57:00] Then you have teams where it's like,
[00:57:01] oh, do you have four guys in top 15
[00:57:05] in defensive winch here?
[00:57:06] You can't be MVP because your team is good.
[00:57:09] And I think that that conversation starts to go,
[00:57:12] go, go, go, go, go.
[00:57:13] But I think a lot of these people are scared of
[00:57:19] being ridiculed by their peers
[00:57:21] or being called out into media like as far as like,
[00:57:25] yo, he really voted Jalen Brunson for MVP
[00:57:29] where there probably is someone out there
[00:57:31] that feels that Jalen Brunson is a top two MVP candidate
[00:57:35] but Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards,
[00:57:38] I think they're pretty much in the same boat
[00:57:40] as far as they should be getting the consideration for it.
[00:57:45] But their name wasn't, they didn't have 15 slips
[00:57:50] in the hat with their names on it in October.
[00:57:53] So everyone started pulling names out.
[00:57:54] It was like everyone was pulling out, Luca.
[00:57:56] Everyone was pulling out Giannis.
[00:57:58] Everyone was pulling out.
[00:57:59] Man, it looks like you're gonna win it again.
[00:58:01] You know, like, I mean, I know there's some people
[00:58:05] like Dallas Mike advocating for Luca,
[00:58:07] but you know, like it sounds like Yoko's gonna win again.
[00:58:10] But back to the playoffs, you know,
[00:58:13] the Clippers are up one game on Dallas
[00:58:16] for that four or five matchup.
[00:58:18] So we'll see how that ends up, you know,
[00:58:21] as far as the play in goes,
[00:58:25] if you are Phoenix
[00:58:29] is making the play in a failure?
[00:58:34] Well, I like, I'll, you know, like I said,
[00:58:39] the fact changed was my opinion.
[00:58:41] I had them losing more games than that.
[00:58:44] Yeah, you have 37 and 45.
[00:58:46] Yeah, cause I didn't think that they had enough.
[00:58:51] I didn't think that Kevin Durant, Booker,
[00:58:55] I didn't think they would play the amount of games
[00:58:57] necessary to get them to over 40 wins.
[00:59:00] But with that being said,
[00:59:01] I still think the move to get Biel was a bad move.
[00:59:05] I agree.
[00:59:06] Because when you do that, if you had a young core,
[00:59:10] you didn't have to move
[00:59:12] and you can move a couple of pieces here,
[00:59:13] a contract here or there,
[00:59:14] you bring Bill in, Adam to Booker with some young guns.
[00:59:19] I get it, but Phoenix made too many moves
[00:59:22] because they got this guy in who made his money elsewhere.
[00:59:29] And he made his money probably,
[00:59:31] I wanna say gambling with these business opportunities.
[00:59:34] You gotta take risks, no risk and no biscuit.
[00:59:39] But there was no need to bring in Biel.
[00:59:43] Biel wasn't gonna get you 30 points
[00:59:45] and play great defense.
[00:59:47] So what's the point of moving assets
[00:59:49] that could get you the same number of points as him?
[00:59:53] So what and so on.
[00:59:53] So when they moved, they made too many moves,
[00:59:56] depleted their team.
[00:59:57] I think Booker is the only guy on the team
[00:59:59] that was on the finals a couple of years ago.
[01:00:03] It's spring 2024, they went to the finals in 2021
[01:00:07] and you got one guy left from that team,
[01:00:10] which was a good team.
[01:00:12] Like they should have at least four guys,
[01:00:17] maybe even five depends on how the contracts laid out.
[01:00:20] But they moved all these pieces to try to
[01:00:23] be this new super team is like,
[01:00:25] that's not the format anymore.
[01:00:26] Go one state north, go a little bit east,
[01:00:30] go to Colorado, Denver didn't do that.
[01:00:33] Denver didn't move a bunch of pieces,
[01:00:35] give up Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr.
[01:00:39] and Aaron Gordon to go get Bradley Bill and KCP.
[01:00:42] You know, like they didn't make that move.
[01:00:44] So I think that's, I'm surprised in Phoenix.
[01:00:47] The plan like their ceiling isn't that high
[01:00:50] because like I said, I didn't have them even in the playoffs.
[01:00:54] So making a playoffs should be a bonus,
[01:00:57] but I can't see them getting out of the ground.
[01:01:00] So you don't think that having,
[01:01:04] at the very least having Katie and Booker
[01:01:07] Boswell puncher chance?
[01:01:09] No.
[01:01:10] Okay.
[01:01:12] I got, that's what I knew you'd got.
[01:01:16] It's like in a 12 round boxing match.
[01:01:19] If you don't knock me out with that overhand
[01:01:20] right in the first round
[01:01:23] and the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round,
[01:01:26] I know the setup, then that punch is completely neutralized.
[01:01:30] So your best punch is neutralized because
[01:01:34] because of the tournament of the playoffs is so long,
[01:01:38] you can't keep doing the same thing
[01:01:40] with Katie and Booker for multiple games in a row.
[01:01:42] Right.
[01:01:43] And remember last year,
[01:01:44] they're both mid-range shooters.
[01:01:46] So you can impact them differently.
[01:01:48] If one guy was a post player
[01:01:50] and the other guy was the shooter,
[01:01:54] then we can be working two things simultaneously,
[01:01:57] but they both played the same way at different heights.
[01:02:00] And remember last year, that was the problem
[01:02:03] is that they were averaging about 44 minutes per game
[01:02:07] a piece in the playoffs.
[01:02:10] And I don't see how they don't again,
[01:02:14] maybe that's where Beale can come in,
[01:02:16] but you have to have Beale healthy for that to work.
[01:02:22] So.
[01:02:23] And I don't know if Beale's presence
[01:02:26] with even with the third best defender,
[01:02:29] I don't know if he puts pressure on your team.
[01:02:32] If you can say, all right,
[01:02:35] we're gonna go full-fledged Blitz, Katie and Booker
[01:02:39] and let Bradley be able to beat us.
[01:02:42] I think you'll arrive at that.
[01:02:44] Scoop killing me with these goggles or whatever.
[01:02:47] Yo, Scoop look 40.
[01:02:48] You know what I'm saying?
[01:02:50] He looked like an ABA player.
[01:02:53] You know, Denver, I mean, I'm sorry, New Orleans
[01:02:57] is the team that confuses me
[01:03:01] because I like the way that they're constructed,
[01:03:05] but they're just not consistent.
[01:03:07] There's some of the results don't match there.
[01:03:09] The consistency of the other.
[01:03:12] Yeah, because when I look at Trey Murphy, Herb Jones,
[01:03:16] you know, and of course Zion in the middle,
[01:03:20] you know, I'm just wondering what they're missing
[01:03:25] because, you know, CJ provides the stability
[01:03:28] and veteran leadership.
[01:03:29] I know BI's missed some games, you know?
[01:03:32] So maybe having BI back at some point
[01:03:35] will turn their fortune around,
[01:03:38] but I just feel like this new MBA of 3 and D be long
[01:03:44] and, you know, affect passing like New Orleans
[01:03:48] is like the perfect team for that.
[01:03:51] That just can't do anything.
[01:03:55] Well, you got to be able to make adjustments too.
[01:03:59] When it doesn't work like we talked about Houston,
[01:04:01] like just shooting a bunch of threes is like,
[01:04:04] just get points, find a way to effectively
[01:04:07] get teams involved to get points.
[01:04:10] I believe the Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson
[01:04:13] combination should work better.
[01:04:15] It doesn't.
[01:04:16] I don't think that duo scares anyone,
[01:04:18] which it should because Brandon Ingram is your guy,
[01:04:22] he's your ball handler.
[01:04:25] He's your mismatch, essentially,
[01:04:27] I think he's somewhere close in the measurements
[01:04:30] of Kevin Durant, like six, nine, six, 10 lengthy.
[01:04:34] I know that was like his comp coming out of Duke
[01:04:38] and then you have Zion, both of them went to Duke.
[01:04:40] You would think that they have a better chemistry.
[01:04:43] This doesn't seem to be that way
[01:04:45] where they're playing off each other.
[01:04:47] You would think he's more Jason Tatum,
[01:04:49] you know what I mean?
[01:04:50] Or you would want him to be more,
[01:04:52] that's what I should say.
[01:04:52] You would want him to be more Jason Tatum than KD.
[01:04:56] Yeah, but it just doesn't seem like it doesn't work
[01:05:00] as well as it should.
[01:05:03] But I mean, maybe you get a good playoff,
[01:05:05] Ron, so you get the three, six matchup,
[01:05:07] the Thunder playing well, constantly in the one,
[01:05:10] two or three seats like the last month or so.
[01:05:13] Yeah. It's gonna be difficult.
[01:05:14] But New Orleans, like how we were talking about Miami,
[01:05:16] I don't think Miami blows their team up
[01:05:19] if they lose in the first round.
[01:05:20] Right.
[01:05:21] I think New Orleans is the type of organization
[01:05:23] that will drop the grenade in locker room
[01:05:27] and see who survives after they lose in this first round.
[01:05:30] And I'm gonna keep my eye on it
[01:05:31] because I talked about it a few weeks ago.
[01:05:34] New Orleans has played Minnesota in particular
[01:05:38] very, very well this season.
[01:05:40] So if they end up as the sixth three against Minnesota,
[01:05:44] I think that series may end up
[01:05:45] a little more interesting than it has any business being.
[01:05:50] But of course, I'll still pick Minnesota probably,
[01:05:52] but that can be one of those,
[01:05:55] how did we get the seven games?
[01:05:58] It could be one of those things.
[01:06:00] I think most of these series,
[01:06:01] there's gonna be a few that go to five.
[01:06:06] I do like the Lakers, I just don't like...
[01:06:09] I like the Lakers because I like LeBron, I like AD.
[01:06:14] I just don't know what the team,
[01:06:17] the Los Angeles Lakers present to an opponent
[01:06:21] at the top of the Western Conference
[01:06:24] that makes that team adjust to the Lakers.
[01:06:29] So if you're the Lakers,
[01:06:32] which one of the big three do you wanna play
[01:06:35] while Denver's out here like,
[01:06:36] mother fuck the big three, it's just big me?
[01:06:40] If I would say OKC,
[01:06:45] just because Anthony Davis is bigger than their big man.
[01:06:50] Yeah, I'm thinking that too
[01:06:51] because they're the worst rebound in life.
[01:06:54] Cat and Gobert are both AD sides
[01:06:57] or both like big, thick, six foot, 11,
[01:07:00] seven foot tall, big frame bodies.
[01:07:04] I think that'll be interesting for AD
[01:07:09] as far as like the size matchup.
[01:07:12] Chet is taller and can probably defend the shot more
[01:07:15] but he pump fakes him, bumps him.
[01:07:18] I think you can get him off the spot a little easier
[01:07:22] than he could with Gobert or with Cat.
[01:07:26] In the event that that's how they get guarded
[01:07:28] but I just figured that matchup, just that size matchup
[01:07:31] but that's the thing with the Lakers
[01:07:32] is like even with the Warriors, I'm not sure
[01:07:36] other than you don't want stuff to get hot.
[01:07:41] What as a team, if you're one, two, three
[01:07:47] and you want to get the Warriors to be the best team
[01:07:49] right now on Portland.
[01:07:53] Right now my screen they're down too.
[01:07:56] So it's like what does a team,
[01:07:59] if I have to make adjustments for the Warriors outside of
[01:08:03] I don't want to give stuff open, too many open shots.
[01:08:06] Right. What do I have to do?
[01:08:08] It's the same thing with the Lakers.
[01:08:09] It's like how do I let AD just do his thing?
[01:08:16] Because that's the case, the Bronx chill it
[01:08:19] because the Bronx going to keep feeding AD.
[01:08:22] Right. But if AD is hot
[01:08:25] and then the Bronx has to give it Austin Rees
[01:08:28] nothing comes up or tries to give it a Rui
[01:08:30] nothing happens or if AD is your sole source
[01:08:33] defensively he's your anchor
[01:08:35] and then he's your guy getting buckets
[01:08:37] and Darwin hand takes him out and puts Jackson Hayes in
[01:08:40] and no one else is in a rhythm
[01:08:43] but he wants to give LeBron a break
[01:08:45] and he has to take LeBron on.
[01:08:46] It's like Dilo and Jackson Hayes
[01:08:48] and you want them to play like LeBron and AD
[01:08:50] and now you were down three or four
[01:08:53] you're gonna back the game, you're down 11.
[01:08:54] You know, little things like that.
[01:08:57] Yeah. I think that'll play the Lakers
[01:08:59] is just the fact that I'm not sure
[01:09:01] if they have the personnel.
[01:09:04] Yeah. I think the answer is,
[01:09:06] I think the answer is okay C as well
[01:09:08] just because of okay C's rebounding problems.
[01:09:11] Also, you know, I think that
[01:09:13] cause okay C's one of the few teams
[01:09:16] that are both top five in offense and defense
[01:09:19] and the Lakers might with their inexperience
[01:09:22] the Lakers might be able to grind them
[01:09:24] get them in a half court game
[01:09:26] because okay C does a lot of their damage off of turnovers.
[01:09:31] So LeBron's the perfect guy to slow them down,
[01:09:35] set the pace and make them play a half court game.
[01:09:38] Make Chet play half game,
[01:09:41] make these guys keep their head on the swivel
[01:09:43] because LeBron he'll stand up there
[01:09:45] three or four possessions in a row
[01:09:47] just taking a breather.
[01:09:48] Yeah. You three work, you guys work
[01:09:50] the triangle adjacent kind of offense over here.
[01:09:54] I'm gonna stand over here
[01:09:56] and then this guy is gonna turn his head
[01:09:59] and I'm gonna cut to the basket
[01:10:00] and I'm gonna get minimal energy on the offensive end
[01:10:03] but I'm gonna make this quick cut and get a layup.
[01:10:05] And now you're looking at me
[01:10:08] he's like okay I'm gonna stand 25 feet from the hoop
[01:10:11] I'm gonna take this break
[01:10:12] and then maybe for this half of the quarter
[01:10:15] I'm gonna play good help defense
[01:10:17] cause there's only something like I said
[01:10:18] there's only so much energy in the human body
[01:10:20] and I think he'll smartly use those kind of opportunities
[01:10:24] but if that doesn't come
[01:10:26] if those opportunities don't come
[01:10:28] then if I'm playing a liquor straight up
[01:10:30] okay that's all you got.
[01:10:33] I'm gonna take away 80 now what do you got?
[01:10:36] Yeah and this Pelicans Kings game didn't got good
[01:10:40] you know Pelicans currently up 80 to 76, mid third quarter
[01:10:46] so there's gonna be a high scoring game
[01:10:48] you know Sacramento fighting for their lives
[01:10:52] to not have to go on the road into play in
[01:10:55] and New Orleans trying to just hold on to not
[01:10:58] It's not like the beam
[01:11:01] to not play into play in you know
[01:11:05] but yeah so you know there you have it
[01:11:07] you know Monday we'll be back
[01:11:10] we will know the playoff matchups
[01:11:12] Mr. Logical and I will be talking about awards
[01:11:16] you know picking our award winners for this season

[01:11:24] but you know I'm enjoying it
[01:11:28] you know outside of the Hawks and Bulls
[01:11:30] having a chance to get into the playoff
[01:11:32] I am enjoying this
[01:11:36] we'll see I mean we'll see
