00:00:00.201 --> 00:00:06.910
Donovan Mitchell was playing with G League Unite or Ignite, whichever G League team you want to pick.

00:00:06.910 --> 00:00:09.965
That's who he was playing with and they had an eight-point lead.

00:00:09.965 --> 00:00:18.628
So he was dog tired, couldn't even walk up the court without hunching over, so he was looking like Luka in the last few minutes of the game.

00:00:18.849 --> 00:00:19.670
He was so tired.

00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:20.753
That's crazy.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:24.984
We still get shots when we're out in the playoffs.

00:00:24.984 --> 00:00:26.588
Let's show us how much we be on y'all minds.

00:00:26.588 --> 00:00:27.611
I see the hatred.

00:00:27.611 --> 00:00:28.580
I see the hatred.

00:00:28.580 --> 00:00:30.024
I pick them like a pro Global trial ball.

00:00:30.024 --> 00:00:31.128
Talk a big and roll.

00:00:31.128 --> 00:00:32.530
We're going up the score.

00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:33.072
Touchdown.

00:00:33.072 --> 00:00:34.250
This is not field goal.

00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:36.481
We the winning team champions.

00:00:36.521 --> 00:00:41.628
When you walk through the halls you can play spread with we gone with them all.

00:00:41.628 --> 00:00:44.210
Yeah, this is a major play.

00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:45.892
We do it big in a major way.

00:00:45.892 --> 00:00:47.654
Diego, be having the pick of the day.

00:00:47.654 --> 00:00:49.235
Here we come, don't care if you ready.

00:00:51.161 --> 00:00:52.302
We them boys to go.

00:00:52.302 --> 00:00:55.807
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.

00:00:55.807 --> 00:00:56.789
You know who it is.

00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:58.131
I am Derek Thompson.

00:00:58.932 --> 00:00:59.813
I'm Diego Thompson.

00:01:00.454 --> 00:01:03.301
And who are we, the Pick'em Pros?

00:01:03.301 --> 00:01:16.311
We are the Pick'em Pros coming back at you in the house with a special no, we always say special, but this is a special emergency, emergency 911 NBA playoff show.

00:01:16.311 --> 00:01:17.290
It's a short one.

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:19.793
Normally our shows are an hour hour and a half.

00:01:19.793 --> 00:01:27.284
Quick 30-minute show where we are going to talk about just how right I am with all of my picks.

00:01:27.284 --> 00:01:30.125
We knock Chris out, we knock C-Pain out of the way.

00:01:30.125 --> 00:01:33.528
All right, now the spotlight is on me and you, diego.

00:01:33.528 --> 00:01:34.906
We're under fire.

00:01:34.906 --> 00:01:38.015
Well, you're more under fire because I'm good.

00:01:38.135 --> 00:01:38.799
All right.

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.188
Well, the team you picked is down 2-0.

00:01:41.188 --> 00:01:41.989
Mine's tied.

00:01:41.989 --> 00:01:45.269
So I mean I'm really up in this case.

00:01:45.269 --> 00:01:47.587
Do I look concerned at all?

00:01:47.587 --> 00:01:49.284
Do I look concerned?

00:01:49.284 --> 00:01:50.742
I know I'm not concerned.

00:01:50.742 --> 00:01:52.501
You should be concerned.

00:01:52.501 --> 00:01:54.890
You're going into New York down 2-0.

00:01:54.890 --> 00:02:00.480
Tatum's out here looking like a 5'11 point guard.

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.462
You can't get to the rim.

00:02:06.525 --> 00:02:11.868
You may or may not be correct about that part, but anyway, man, we're ready for a fire show.

00:02:11.868 --> 00:02:13.569
Man, we're going to dive right into it.

00:02:13.569 --> 00:02:23.617
We're going to bring Christopher Davis, c Payne Davis and the princess of pick and pros, brianna, on in a second man, you want to just go right into it and bring them on.

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:32.747
Or you got something you want to say to me directly before we bring our colleagues on.

00:02:32.747 --> 00:02:33.931
Yeah well, what's up with the Celtics, man?

00:02:33.931 --> 00:02:40.872
I mean, come on blowing two 20-point leads, tatum and Brown looking like they're forgetting how to play basketball at the end, I mean, just what's up with that man.

00:02:40.872 --> 00:02:42.643
Come on, you got anything to say for yourself?

00:02:43.364 --> 00:02:51.123
Well, you know, man, like my other Boston comrade, you know Julian Heggie said you know, shout out to him, man, we're just playing with our food.

00:02:51.123 --> 00:02:55.659
You know, playing with our food a little bit, it's all good, you know, just getting used to the flow of things.

00:02:55.659 --> 00:02:59.320
But I am not concerned whatsoever and we'll definitely.

00:02:59.320 --> 00:03:03.564
I know Brianna and C Payne want and C-Pain want to get in this, so let's bring them on.

00:03:03.564 --> 00:03:06.527
Thank you everybody for checking us out Again.

00:03:06.527 --> 00:03:08.490
We are about to get into it.

00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:12.114
Hold on, let's pull up some of the comments here.

00:03:12.114 --> 00:03:16.781
Rihanna doing her thing, Summer, let's go.

00:03:16.781 --> 00:03:20.368
Thank you everybody for watching and checking us out.

00:03:20.368 --> 00:03:24.347
Yes, yes, yes, Yep, Cavs are down 0-2 as well.

00:03:24.347 --> 00:03:24.969
Yes, All right.

00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:26.930
Well, let's bring on a colleague.

00:03:26.930 --> 00:03:29.365
Let's bring on C-Pain and Brianna.

00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:31.282
What's going on y'all Hi?

00:03:31.302 --> 00:03:32.347
I'm doing good.

00:03:32.366 --> 00:03:37.324
Yeah, great man, this is great, you're right into it.

00:03:37.324 --> 00:03:40.549
Quick show today Celtics in six.

00:03:40.549 --> 00:03:43.302
I'm looking good man.

00:03:43.302 --> 00:03:48.562
That's basically what I predicted celtics and six, and I'm right on track with that.

00:03:48.562 --> 00:03:50.586
So, oh, so they're gonna win for sure.

00:03:50.627 --> 00:03:53.334
Four, okay, okay.

00:03:53.334 --> 00:03:57.985
So they're star players shooting tour dates and that's just gonna be fine.

00:03:57.985 --> 00:04:06.090
Like five or twenty, like he should, he should may 20, if we're just supposed to be like, oh, oh yeah, you still believe you Celtics, we got the glasses on.

00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.153
Hold on, let's see what the glasses are.

00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:09.944
Glasses don't mean anything Exactly.

00:04:09.944 --> 00:04:10.787
He thinks it's cool.

00:04:10.787 --> 00:04:13.353
He's a guy, he's trying to protect himself.

00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:15.847
Jalen Brunson cooking y'all in the clutch.

00:04:16.047 --> 00:04:18.863
I mean, I don't know A guy, jalen Brunson, cooking y'all Mikael.

00:04:20.065 --> 00:04:28.341
Mikkel Bridges is cooking, y'all Okay with an amazing defense that he's always had, but the Suns gave up Mikkel.

00:04:28.382 --> 00:04:32.427
Freaking Bridges Never forget Mikkel Never ever Mikkel.

00:04:32.466 --> 00:04:32.827
Mikkel.

00:04:32.827 --> 00:04:34.309
He's like the best on the team.

00:04:35.571 --> 00:04:37.552
And you know not better than Brunson.

00:04:38.213 --> 00:04:39.836
Well, that defense says otherwise.

00:04:41.461 --> 00:04:42.764
The two clutch plays.

00:04:42.764 --> 00:04:45.168
He does play better defense Tim.

00:04:45.309 --> 00:04:47.153
He's making some clutch plays, for sure.

00:04:47.153 --> 00:04:50.482
What's aggravating about it?

00:04:50.482 --> 00:04:54.773
You know it's always aggravating when it's not like the number one star, who's the one that's got the biggest mouth.

00:04:54.773 --> 00:05:00.831
So it's fun when it's your team, but when it's the opposition, isn't that the most aggravating thing?

00:05:01.517 --> 00:05:03.184
Yeah, it is.

00:05:03.184 --> 00:05:08.504
But I had a quick question for you as the biggest Joe Bazzzula hater, saying you may, you don't.

00:05:08.504 --> 00:05:09.608
It should be the coach, right?

00:05:09.608 --> 00:05:12.803
I had a question because you think that you're gonna win four straight.

00:05:12.803 --> 00:05:15.531
However, his whole live by the three, die by the three.

00:05:15.531 --> 00:05:17.785
Philosophy is what's got them in this situation?

00:05:17.785 --> 00:05:21.634
I mean 25 for 100, like that.

00:05:21.634 --> 00:05:30.348
Yeah, you missed 75 threes and nobody thinks, hey, let's just, we got a bunch of big guys that can get the paint, let's just make this a little bit easier on us.

00:05:30.348 --> 00:05:34.822
So I'm just asking you, still rocking with Joe, you think you know it's gonna swing the other way?

00:05:35.665 --> 00:05:39.665
so I'm not necessarily rocking with Joe, alright, because you know how I feel about Joe.

00:05:39.665 --> 00:05:41.899
I'm just rocking with the Celtics overall.

00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:44.369
I'm rocking with Tatum.

00:05:44.369 --> 00:05:45.206
I'm rocking with Brown.

00:05:45.206 --> 00:05:45.380
I'm just rocking with the Celtics overall.

00:05:45.380 --> 00:05:46.298
I'm rocking with Tatum, I'm rocking with Brown.

00:05:46.298 --> 00:05:48.947
I'm rocking Porzingis.

00:05:48.947 --> 00:05:49.910
It's going to get healthy.

00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:53.610
He's going to get over whatever respiratory issue he has.

00:05:53.610 --> 00:05:55.045
That's the missing piece.

00:05:55.045 --> 00:06:01.052
Porzingis, when he shows up, because see, that's who I want to see Porzingis with.

00:06:01.052 --> 00:06:02.319
Who's going to guard Porzingis?

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.154
And the other thing I want to see I want to see Porzingis with the ball.

00:06:04.154 --> 00:06:04.846
Who's going to guard Porzingis?

00:06:04.846 --> 00:06:05.723
And the other thing I want to see I want to see Tatum.

00:06:05.723 --> 00:06:11.708
The fourth quarter this time they're going to put Tatum on our guy that's killing us.

00:06:11.708 --> 00:06:13.567
The point guard, brunson.

00:06:13.567 --> 00:06:16.904
We're going to put him on Brunson and see he guarded Brunson early.

00:06:18.725 --> 00:06:22.105
Then Kat and Mikkel Bridges and OJ Anobi are going to get whatever they want.

00:06:23.928 --> 00:06:24.569
That's fine.

00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:25.851
They're not clutch enough.

00:06:25.851 --> 00:06:26.713
They're going to miss the shot.

00:06:26.713 --> 00:06:34.425
Brunson is the only person on that team that I'm concerned about shooting in the fourth quarter.

00:06:34.425 --> 00:06:38.451
All we have to do is put Tatum on Brunson and it's over.

00:06:38.451 --> 00:06:41.305
Not even worried about it, Not even worried about it.

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:46.209
I think if they wanted to do that, I think that if that was something they thought was going to work, they would have done it after the first game.

00:06:46.209 --> 00:06:49.345
That's not going to work.

00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:51.103
Again, that will work.

00:06:51.103 --> 00:06:52.447
That's poor coaching.

00:06:52.447 --> 00:06:53.089
I saw that.

00:06:53.089 --> 00:06:57.485
But Tatum, tatum's going to step up to the plate, he's going to take the challenge.

00:06:57.485 --> 00:07:00.468
He's going to tell everybody move out the way.

00:07:00.468 --> 00:07:02.668
He's going to say I got Brunson.

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.404
And he's gonna say I got brunson and he's gonna shut it down.

00:07:07.404 --> 00:07:09.692
What about on the offensive end of the court is is that somebody else's role or is he swing?

00:07:09.773 --> 00:07:10.877
we just got to swing the ball.

00:07:10.877 --> 00:07:19.252
They swing at the first three quarters of the game.

00:07:19.252 --> 00:07:21.074
All right, get these shots, all right.

00:07:21.074 --> 00:07:23.343
And then, fourth quarter, they want to go iso ball.

00:07:23.343 --> 00:07:24.305
That's not their game.

00:07:24.305 --> 00:07:28.670
Tatum and Brown can't dribble, all right, they're going to get ripped.

00:07:28.670 --> 00:07:31.634
So you know, that's just.

00:07:31.634 --> 00:07:33.704
They need to just swing the ball.

00:07:33.704 --> 00:07:35.730
Just swing the ball, swing, swing, swing.

00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:36.992
Get an open shot.

00:07:36.992 --> 00:07:38.942
Porzingis boom for three.

00:07:38.942 --> 00:07:39.744
And we got it.

00:07:39.744 --> 00:07:42.408
But this next game, saturday, that's going to be a blowout.

00:07:42.408 --> 00:07:43.790
Now, game four will be tight.

00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:45.033
We're going to blow them out.

00:07:45.033 --> 00:07:48.108
Game three, game four, will come down to the fourth quarter.

00:07:48.108 --> 00:07:50.947
We're going to pull it out and then tables will be turned.

00:07:50.947 --> 00:07:51.891
We got it.

00:07:51.891 --> 00:07:53.286
We're going to take them four straight.

00:07:53.761 --> 00:07:54.966
I think the Knicks want it more.

00:07:54.966 --> 00:08:11.992
The Celtics blew two 20-point leads, though, so I wanted, I believed that the Celtics were going to win it all and like it wasn't going to be close, but now that the Knicks are really like putting in their effort and like showing that they want it, I feel like they're probably going to win this series now.

00:08:12.492 --> 00:08:15.254
Yeah, a lot of people feel that way.

00:08:15.254 --> 00:08:16.555
Brianna, you're there, you know.

00:08:16.555 --> 00:08:17.416
Chris C-Pain.

00:08:23.783 --> 00:08:29.187
I think C-Pain is more hopeful because of his Lakers being knocked out, so he's hoping that I can join him in this business.

00:08:29.228 --> 00:08:30.189
I'm not going down.

00:08:30.189 --> 00:08:31.149
I'm not going down.

00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:34.153
Oh yeah, diego, we're going to get to you later.

00:08:34.153 --> 00:08:36.414
You are going down, diego, we're tied.

00:08:41.303 --> 00:08:42.265
The series is tied.

00:08:51.179 --> 00:08:53.105
Yeah, I'm feeling good, y'all, I'm feeling good, y'all, I'm feeling good, all right.

00:08:53.105 --> 00:08:53.849
Well, keep the comments coming in.

00:08:53.849 --> 00:08:54.792
Let us know if you have any questions.

00:08:54.792 --> 00:09:00.446
Uh, we see all of these are filing in, so thanks for joining us for this emergency nba playoff show.

00:09:00.446 --> 00:09:03.991
I just wanted to come and give y'all a little bit here, all right?

00:09:03.991 --> 00:09:06.863
So let's move on to our next topic.

00:09:06.863 --> 00:09:11.394
Let's move on and talk about the lucky Indiana Pacers.

00:09:11.715 --> 00:09:13.980
All right, the lucky Indiana Pacers.

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:16.626
I still believe in the Cavs.

00:09:16.626 --> 00:09:19.072
I don't think this is going to be a problem at all.

00:09:19.072 --> 00:09:24.330
I think they just have to get their people back is all they have to do, and they're going to be fine.

00:09:24.330 --> 00:09:26.114
Diego, let's start with you.

00:09:26.114 --> 00:09:28.327
How do you feel about this Cavs-Pacers series?

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:34.427
Yeah, well, obviously no one wants the Pacers to advance, so that's why the Cavs they got all their people.

00:09:34.427 --> 00:09:39.424
They're rested Now, they're ready to go and they're about to win four straight and knock them out of here.

00:09:39.424 --> 00:09:40.767
Okay.

00:09:41.749 --> 00:09:46.835
I just got a quick question on why we keep calling the Pacers lucky or just Cleveland choking.

00:09:46.835 --> 00:09:50.619
I think there's a mix of the two, because, yes, all the players were out.

00:09:50.619 --> 00:09:52.466
All the players were out, I'm not going to lie.

00:09:52.466 --> 00:09:54.831
Game two all the players were out.

00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:58.248
Three Three starters and two all-stars.

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.385
Wait, so nobody can.

00:10:00.385 --> 00:10:03.283
Everybody forgets how to do an inbounds pass four straight times.

00:10:03.283 --> 00:10:05.128
We're just going to let that slide.

00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:08.849
Yes, you got Mitchell playing with the G-team.

00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.005
On the Tyrese Halliburton game.

00:10:11.005 --> 00:10:11.849
They didn't rebound.

00:10:11.849 --> 00:10:14.105
That's nobody else's fault.

00:10:14.105 --> 00:10:17.149
They let Tyrese Halliburton get the rebound with Jared Allen on the court.

00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:20.087
So that's nobody else's issue.

00:10:20.087 --> 00:10:21.625
That's nothing but the Cavs.

00:10:21.625 --> 00:10:23.287
It's just oh, everybody was hurt.

00:10:23.287 --> 00:10:26.466
This is their excuse.

00:10:26.466 --> 00:10:26.850
They'll be fine.

00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:32.984
Not the fact that they were up eight with like 40 seconds left In like regular basketball terms.

00:10:32.984 --> 00:10:33.726
The game's over.

00:10:33.726 --> 00:10:36.302
Oh, we can just solve this away, get fouled and we'll be good.

00:10:36.302 --> 00:10:38.803
And they couldn't get an inbound pass right now.

00:10:38.803 --> 00:10:39.947
Nobody has this problem.

00:10:40.421 --> 00:10:45.386
Ever since March, madness Final Four, eight-point lead and end has never been saved.

00:10:45.386 --> 00:10:46.349
That's right.

00:10:46.349 --> 00:10:47.831
That's right, this is Duke.

00:10:47.831 --> 00:10:48.734
It's never been saved.

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.729
But this is the NBA, this is game.

00:10:51.729 --> 00:10:53.485
You need to get this game.

00:10:53.485 --> 00:10:57.291
Steel wants to split the series, so the Pacers don't have hope.

00:10:57.291 --> 00:11:01.105
Then you let Tyrese Halliburton, where everybody called most overrated, get you for game.

00:11:02.469 --> 00:11:10.043
Still is, still is ready to get you for gate like still is.

00:11:10.063 --> 00:11:11.988
Still is sorry, man, at least the cavaliers were close last game.

00:11:11.988 --> 00:11:15.774
Yeah, it shows some hope for them it's like right, right, well, yeah they.

00:11:15.836 --> 00:11:20.707
They had a a substantial lead, with missing three of their starters.

00:11:20.707 --> 00:11:24.980
Donovan mitchell was playing with G League Unite or Ignite whichever.

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:27.688
G League team you want to pick.

00:11:27.688 --> 00:11:30.722
That's who he was playing with and they had an eight-point lead.

00:11:30.722 --> 00:11:39.243
So he was dog-tired, couldn't even walk up the court without hunching over, so he was looking like Luka in the last few minutes of the game.

00:11:39.604 --> 00:11:40.525
He was so tired.

00:11:40.525 --> 00:11:41.528
That's crazy.

00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:42.672
That was wild.

00:11:42.672 --> 00:11:45.735
We still get shots when we're out in the playoffs.

00:11:45.735 --> 00:11:47.316
Let's show us how much we mean to y'all minds.

00:11:47.316 --> 00:11:48.384
I see the hatred.

00:11:48.384 --> 00:11:50.522
I see the hatred, but I'm going to just be real.

00:11:50.522 --> 00:11:52.923
That doesn't I get it.

00:11:52.923 --> 00:11:53.907
Donovan's tired.

00:11:53.907 --> 00:11:57.283
He's literally great performance backpacking this team.

00:11:57.283 --> 00:12:03.245
However, nobody else is not like, hey, we got to step up because this guy's been killing it for us.

00:12:03.245 --> 00:12:04.227
Nobody else not.

00:12:04.227 --> 00:12:06.192
We got to really box out on this rebound.

00:12:06.192 --> 00:12:10.607
If he misses it, there's so many chances that they had to win that game.

00:12:10.607 --> 00:12:11.811
That's my issue with the Cavs.

00:12:11.811 --> 00:12:12.522
It's not that.

00:12:12.522 --> 00:12:14.950
You know, despite all the injuries, I get it.

00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:20.690
You know you're not at full strength, but you still have a chance to let the series split.

00:12:20.690 --> 00:12:21.572
Go to Indiana.

00:12:21.572 --> 00:12:22.684
You're going in with the confidence.

00:12:22.684 --> 00:12:24.513
Other Pacers they're playing with house money.

00:12:24.513 --> 00:12:30.168
They're like okay, nobody expected us to be here, nobody expected us to be too well, so let's just see what happens.

00:12:30.168 --> 00:12:33.155
And now they're back in their place.

00:12:33.275 --> 00:12:34.282
They're back in their place.

00:12:34.282 --> 00:12:43.708
They're going to have some Twitter confidence at first, and then, once the Cavs get a double-digit lead, all that's going to go away and they'll be fine.

00:12:43.708 --> 00:12:46.562
They just need to have Wow New South.

00:12:46.562 --> 00:12:48.610
They just have to have all their starters.

00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:53.923
Once they have their starters, they're going to be just fine NBA roster.

00:12:54.706 --> 00:12:55.609
I guess we'll see tonight.

00:12:57.644 --> 00:12:59.787
This is a team that could have won 70 games.

00:12:59.787 --> 00:13:02.802
The Cavs are strong.

00:13:02.802 --> 00:13:04.048
Cavs are strong.

00:13:04.089 --> 00:13:04.510
Very strong.

00:13:04.510 --> 00:13:05.214
I agree with what.

00:13:05.234 --> 00:13:05.777
Brandon, the Cavs are strong.

00:13:05.777 --> 00:13:08.748
Cavs are strong, very strong, yeah, but I agree with what Brandon said.

00:13:08.748 --> 00:13:14.765
I think Halliburton is overheated and underrated, so I don't know.

00:13:14.765 --> 00:13:17.649
I feel like the Pacers might take it tonight again.

00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.868
He still scored like 15 points last game.

00:13:21.249 --> 00:13:24.067
So A lot of game, though.

00:13:24.067 --> 00:13:29.028
I think game, listen, I understand the concept of like, oh like.

00:13:29.028 --> 00:13:35.480
Donovan Bichette at 40 did he hit the shot that he needed to to win the day game he did, he did, but he had no pressure.

00:13:38.018 --> 00:13:40.159
You take all the pressure away from Hallenburton.

00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.163
He's clutch.

00:13:41.163 --> 00:13:50.812
He's as clutch as they come if there's no pressure involved, but the moment there's pressure, he's as clutch as they come if there's no pressure involved, but the moment there's pressure he had house money and house money like they should.

00:13:50.932 --> 00:14:01.164
They should have just let him go to the rim and at least like just get, just get him to overtime, instead of let him shoot the three to win the game we all knew he was going to step back and shoot the three, don't we?

00:14:01.164 --> 00:14:03.211
Yeah, so why did?

00:14:03.230 --> 00:14:05.870
the guy, guard him, go for the fake.

00:14:06.505 --> 00:14:15.408
I don't know how people know more about what's going to happen to an NBA player, but hey, that's the story of that game, so we will see.

00:14:15.408 --> 00:14:16.553
I hope, listen.

00:14:16.553 --> 00:14:18.048
I hope the Cavs win.

00:14:18.048 --> 00:14:21.756
I hope that this is a series, because Pacers-Knicks would be ugly work.

00:14:21.756 --> 00:14:23.703
I'm not going to lie, it was just ah.

00:14:24.625 --> 00:14:26.270
Oh, my goodness that wouldn't be.

00:14:27.345 --> 00:14:28.730
I mean, yeah, we could go back to the air.

00:14:28.730 --> 00:14:34.827
It's like oh, reggie Miller, I'm sorry, I'm too young for that, that's not my area.

00:14:37.346 --> 00:14:43.870
We already looked ahead in this because we know ESPN suffered financially last year by the Pacers being in the Eastern Conference Finals.

00:14:43.870 --> 00:14:50.991
Now, thankfully for ESPN, they switch, so ESPN is going to have the Western Conference Finals this year.

00:14:50.991 --> 00:14:54.254
Tnt is going to have the Eastern Conference Finals.

00:14:56.046 --> 00:14:57.171
TNT's got nothing to lose.

00:14:57.171 --> 00:14:58.851
Yeah, this is their last year.

00:14:58.851 --> 00:15:01.647
Yeah, TNT, they don't care.

00:15:01.647 --> 00:15:02.576
They're going to bail it in.

00:15:02.576 --> 00:15:03.885
This is going to be all jokes away.

00:15:03.885 --> 00:15:05.027
Hey man, we barely watched.

00:15:05.027 --> 00:15:06.649
Oh, my care, they're going to bail it in.

00:15:06.649 --> 00:15:07.370
This is going to be all jokes.

00:15:07.370 --> 00:15:08.150
Hey man, we barely watched.

00:15:08.150 --> 00:15:09.972
They're going to have a good time.

00:15:09.972 --> 00:15:11.034
They're going to check it, Check it, check it.

00:15:11.095 --> 00:15:12.155
They're going to have a good time.

00:15:12.155 --> 00:15:13.577
Yeah, that's going to be a tough watch.

00:15:13.577 --> 00:15:15.980
That's going to be a tough watch, if it's that.

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:20.572
Alright, we got about 12 minutes left.

00:15:20.572 --> 00:15:30.860
Let's turn our attention to Mr Diego, all right, and talk about how much the Warriors are in trouble.

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:33.990
The Warriors are in trouble and let's get a hold on.

00:15:33.990 --> 00:15:34.673
See, I'm managing.

00:15:34.673 --> 00:15:41.197
See, we're at the crib today, so I'm managing comments and I'm also managing our screens.

00:15:41.197 --> 00:15:42.971
Hold on, let's get a little shout here.

00:15:42.971 --> 00:15:46.676
Keen Brianna dot sports is her Instagram.

00:15:46.676 --> 00:15:48.710
You see Chris's Instagram there.

00:15:48.710 --> 00:15:49.692
See everybody's name.

00:15:49.692 --> 00:15:50.413
See everything.

00:15:50.413 --> 00:15:51.397
Shout us out.

00:15:51.397 --> 00:15:54.835
Make sure you follow everybody, like and subscribe, all right.

00:15:54.835 --> 00:16:01.774
So Warriors, diego, man, whoo, y'all are one in one, but you're basically done with Steph being out.

00:16:01.774 --> 00:16:04.732
I don't even know why you're wearing that Warriors jersey.

00:16:04.753 --> 00:16:05.995
We're good, it's one in one.

00:16:05.995 --> 00:16:06.235
We won out.

00:16:06.235 --> 00:16:07.537
I don't even know why you're wearing that warriors jersey.

00:16:07.537 --> 00:16:08.317
We're good, it's one and one.

00:16:08.317 --> 00:16:20.225
We won the one game where steph got hurt and I mean we were basically really throwing that game, throwing the game two out because we probably weren't going to win anyway even if steph was playing, because me with them, I mean two games in minnesota we probably weren't going to win both of them.

00:16:20.225 --> 00:16:23.552
And I mean we just we played 14 guys.

00:16:23.552 --> 00:16:30.993
So, um, yeah, that's a lot for a playoff game, but you know, we were seeing what lineups would work, what players would be ready for this stage.

00:16:30.993 --> 00:16:36.231
So then, game three we know the lineup's going to be ready and that's going to be the game we're going to take.

00:16:36.231 --> 00:16:37.549
We're going to be up 2-1.

00:16:37.549 --> 00:16:42.216
Then it's going to be just like that, like, just like that yeah.

00:16:42.395 --> 00:16:47.601
So y'all having the greatest shooter of all time Not being scheduled to play until like game 6, that's not going to matter at all.

00:16:49.770 --> 00:16:50.394
We figured it out.

00:16:50.394 --> 00:16:51.985
We took the game to analyze.

00:16:52.812 --> 00:16:54.384
I was like, okay, this might be even.

00:16:54.384 --> 00:16:55.389
And now he came back.

00:16:58.552 --> 00:17:04.749
We want a game without Steph, so we analyzed it and now we know what we need to do For this game.

00:17:05.707 --> 00:17:11.594
Well, Michael Jordan's son's coming for you guys.

00:17:11.614 --> 00:17:12.536
So no one's getting.

00:17:12.536 --> 00:17:13.759
No, he's gonna.

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.645
He's gonna be scared just about just of steph sitting on the bench.

00:17:16.645 --> 00:17:23.750
He's scared of steph, everybody knows that you can take all these other stuff he's scared of steph no, he's not.

00:17:23.791 --> 00:17:24.313
He wants.

00:17:24.653 --> 00:17:33.020
He wants to win, he's going for everyone the two-headed monster of my team, a yoke which last year.

00:17:33.101 --> 00:17:40.445
I'm just saying I'm a little little worried, a little worried, yeah he has like that old school mentality, like he wants it, he's very, he's very.

00:17:40.445 --> 00:17:42.650
Um, what's the word competitive?

00:17:42.730 --> 00:17:45.895
he's very competitive yeah, he's very competitive.

00:17:45.895 --> 00:17:47.077
Yeah, he really wants it.

00:17:47.117 --> 00:17:47.779
He's going to get it.

00:17:48.526 --> 00:17:51.089
Can't be stopped because Luka beat him in five last year.

00:17:51.089 --> 00:17:53.369
Luka and Kyrie, we just need to.

00:17:56.451 --> 00:17:57.634
What does that say about us?

00:17:58.435 --> 00:18:00.869
Yeah, two points.

00:18:01.111 --> 00:18:01.191
One.

00:18:01.191 --> 00:18:01.593
I want to go.

00:18:01.593 --> 00:18:04.571
Kyrie might be better than.

00:18:04.632 --> 00:18:07.538
LeBron, that's going to take us over the show we got to win.

00:18:07.538 --> 00:18:10.051
I'll address that with you later, man.

00:18:11.145 --> 00:18:12.291
Let me make two quick points.

00:18:12.291 --> 00:18:14.432
One, let me go back to Brandon.

00:18:14.432 --> 00:18:15.691
We got the balloons here.

00:18:15.691 --> 00:18:18.694
We'll go to Brandon's comment about the Pacers.

00:18:18.694 --> 00:18:22.932
We do know a lot of what we're saying you got to take with the Pacers.

00:18:22.932 --> 00:18:27.887
We like poking fun at them, we know they're're small market and all that.

00:18:27.887 --> 00:18:30.796
You got to take a little bit of, uh, what we say with a grain of salt with the pacers.

00:18:30.796 --> 00:18:32.628
We like messing with them, we like trolling.

00:18:32.628 --> 00:18:36.708
Some of what we say about the, some of what we say about the pacers, is trolling.

00:18:36.708 --> 00:18:39.438
So don't uh, don't get too caught up in that.

00:18:39.438 --> 00:18:43.068
All right, um, and then my other point about the warriors.

00:18:43.108 --> 00:18:46.396
So what I will say is coming off of that Houston series.

00:18:46.396 --> 00:18:54.291
It looked like the Warriors had a whole lot more freedom in that game one.

00:18:54.291 --> 00:18:55.596
The court looked wide open, like Houston locked them down.

00:18:55.596 --> 00:18:56.137
They had trouble moving.

00:18:56.137 --> 00:18:59.626
They looked like they were a whole different team.

00:18:59.626 --> 00:19:01.829
Game, one against the Timberwolves.

00:19:01.829 --> 00:19:04.653
And then, of course, steph goes out and we have that.

00:19:04.653 --> 00:19:06.836
But I'm the.

00:19:06.836 --> 00:19:07.317
The?

00:19:07.317 --> 00:19:09.586
Uh warriors need to get a game.

00:19:09.586 --> 00:19:12.230
They've got to win one of these two games at home.

00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:16.365
Uh, they cannot go down three, one to the timber wolves.

00:19:16.365 --> 00:19:17.849
So they've got to find a way.

00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:20.984
Steph, he's not coming back until game five at the earliest.

00:19:20.984 --> 00:19:25.269
So, jimmy buckets, he's gonna have to find a way to pull one of these games out.

00:19:25.809 --> 00:19:32.096
Yeah, this is the same Jimmy Buckets that took the heat, carried them to two NBA finals.

00:19:32.096 --> 00:19:38.521
How many players in the league have carried their teams to two NBA finals by themselves as the main guy?

00:19:38.521 --> 00:19:41.067
Yeah.

00:19:41.067 --> 00:19:44.934
It's a game against Anthony Edwards Is he the same guy?

00:19:45.415 --> 00:19:46.478
Is he the same person?

00:19:46.478 --> 00:19:47.219
He's older now.

00:19:47.219 --> 00:19:49.807
He's still Jimmy Butler.

00:19:50.690 --> 00:19:52.193
He's not in his prime anymore.

00:19:53.276 --> 00:19:53.917
No, Diego.

00:19:56.405 --> 00:19:57.833
You're just getting your hopes up, Diego.

00:19:59.566 --> 00:20:00.349
We're going to get a game.

00:20:00.349 --> 00:20:01.586
This is the.

00:20:01.626 --> 00:20:02.489
Wild, wild West.

00:20:02.489 --> 00:20:03.391
This isn't the East.

00:20:05.336 --> 00:20:06.852
He beat the Celtics twice in the East Conference Finals.

00:20:06.852 --> 00:20:07.275
That isn't the East.

00:20:07.275 --> 00:20:08.763
He beat the Celtics twice in the East Conference.

00:20:08.784 --> 00:20:08.904
Finals.

00:20:08.904 --> 00:20:10.330
That wasn't the Celtics.

00:20:14.154 --> 00:20:18.730
The year after, the Celtics went to the NBA Finals and everybody was saying they're going to win against Golden State.

00:20:18.730 --> 00:20:22.391
They went back to the East Conference Finals and Jimmy and the Heat beat them.

00:20:23.684 --> 00:20:25.210
Those were the Marcus Smart Celtics.

00:20:25.210 --> 00:20:25.877
Those weren't the same Celt them.

00:20:25.877 --> 00:20:28.009
Those were the Marcus Smart Celtics.

00:20:28.009 --> 00:20:29.315
Those weren't the same Celtics.

00:20:29.315 --> 00:20:33.553
All right, yeah, not the same guys.

00:20:33.593 --> 00:20:34.536
Yeah, they're different now.

00:20:36.101 --> 00:20:39.694
Uh-huh oh shots fired.

00:20:40.125 --> 00:20:42.753
Yo, he is All right hey.

00:20:45.424 --> 00:20:46.367
Mind the Game podcast.

00:20:46.367 --> 00:20:47.170
That's what we came up with.

00:20:47.190 --> 00:20:49.015
Yeah, he's shot Join us, join us, join us, join us Join us.

00:20:49.035 --> 00:20:49.876
Join us, join us.

00:20:50.117 --> 00:20:50.819
Join us, join us.

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:51.480
Join us, join us.

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:52.282
Join us, join us.

00:21:01.214 --> 00:21:01.815
Join us works.

00:21:01.815 --> 00:21:09.112
I just pulled up a comment from the person who named Christopher C Payne Davis.

00:21:09.112 --> 00:21:18.650
C Payne, my wife just put a comment up saying C Payne is LeBron enjoying watching our series from the comfort of his home.

00:21:18.650 --> 00:21:19.373
Worry about that.

00:21:19.373 --> 00:21:22.851
Just a nice little jab at C Payne.

00:21:23.065 --> 00:21:24.230
Rest up the FCL.

00:21:24.230 --> 00:21:26.929
You feel me A 40-year-old with an injury.

00:21:26.929 --> 00:21:28.071
We used the injury compound.

00:21:28.071 --> 00:21:28.492
He was hurt.

00:21:28.492 --> 00:21:29.394
Oh he was hurt.

00:21:32.588 --> 00:21:32.789
MCL.

00:21:32.789 --> 00:21:33.310
That's right.

00:21:33.310 --> 00:21:34.654
That's why we didn't win.

00:21:37.845 --> 00:21:44.051
Not the fact that Luka can't defend a traffic code and Anthony Edwards just decided to go nuclear and all of our role players suck and Austin Reeves was terrible.

00:21:44.051 --> 00:21:45.690
I'm not bitter about this at all.

00:21:45.690 --> 00:21:48.549
We saw the supercut last week.

00:21:48.549 --> 00:21:59.416
You know we can just move past that alright, seems like you're hurt a little bit, yeah, but hey, chris, don't worry about it.

00:21:59.506 --> 00:22:08.375
In the final segment NBA finals, you're going to get a chance to pick your new champion so I don't have to worry about that, because I'm still good.

00:22:08.375 --> 00:22:10.112
But yeah, chris, you can pick your new champion.

00:22:10.112 --> 00:22:15.189
All right, because I don't think you've officially gone on record and given us your new pick.

00:22:15.789 --> 00:22:16.530
Not the new pick.

00:22:16.530 --> 00:22:18.453
Not the new pick yeah, okay, we'll see.

00:22:18.473 --> 00:22:21.759
We'll see We'll get that All right.

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:29.884
So let's move on to the Thunder OKC Thunder and Denver Nuggets before we talk about the finals and get on out of here.

00:22:29.884 --> 00:22:33.496
So Diego's got a big AAU game that we got to run to here.

00:22:34.625 --> 00:22:37.154
Yeah so Thunder, man.

00:22:37.154 --> 00:22:38.631
So they're tied 1-1.

00:22:38.631 --> 00:22:41.914
Joker, you know, won that first game.

00:22:41.914 --> 00:22:45.434
There had a great play by Gordon there made the clutch three at the end.

00:22:45.434 --> 00:22:48.032
Westbrook has returned back home to OKC.

00:22:48.032 --> 00:22:50.530
They stole that first game.

00:22:50.530 --> 00:22:55.288
Thunder controlled most of it and then the Thunder just came out and whoo, totally blew them out.

00:22:55.288 --> 00:22:59.394
In game two they did them the way the Celtics are going to do the Knicks tomorrow.

00:22:59.394 --> 00:23:01.712
So they came out and really stomped on them.

00:23:01.712 --> 00:23:06.436
So, diego man, what happens with the rest of this series?

00:23:09.365 --> 00:23:09.685
Yeah, on them.

00:23:09.685 --> 00:23:11.490
So, uh, diego man, what happens with the rest of this, this series?

00:23:11.490 --> 00:23:13.817
Yeah, the thunder, uh, it's probably the thunder, and I'll say six, just to be safe.

00:23:13.817 --> 00:23:17.587
Um, I would I like to say five, but I'll give, I'll give the nuggets a game.

00:23:17.587 --> 00:23:18.911
You'll get two more game.

00:23:18.911 --> 00:23:21.517
Um, yeah, they just, they just look so good.

00:23:21.517 --> 00:23:22.826
Um, the first game.

00:23:22.826 --> 00:23:30.093
I think you know the, the nuggets are coming off an intense series from the flippers and um and the thunder.

00:23:30.113 --> 00:23:31.154
They had a lot of time off.

00:23:31.154 --> 00:23:37.806
So I mean, I think I think they just had to get used to the speed of the nba playoffs again and uh, yes, why I lost that game.

00:23:37.806 --> 00:23:41.476
But second game they were back like their normal selves and they were dominating.

00:23:41.476 --> 00:23:42.686
So I think that's how it's going to go.

00:23:42.686 --> 00:23:43.429
Rest of the series.

00:23:44.050 --> 00:23:50.348
Okay, all right, ooh, I would what do you think, bree?

00:23:50.368 --> 00:23:57.619
Well, I think Oklahoma city is going to take this one, just because Russell Westbrook Brooke well, can't even say his name, sorry, he's like.

00:23:57.619 --> 00:24:08.537
He also has that competitive energy still, like after every team, like after all he's been through, and the hate on him is still so forced that it's like proving everyone wrong, like I don't know why everyone hates on him.

00:24:08.537 --> 00:24:10.729
He's a good player and he's proving it.

00:24:10.729 --> 00:24:11.732
And the nuggets?

00:24:11.732 --> 00:24:12.615
They don't really need it.

00:24:12.615 --> 00:24:13.640
Hey, I saw that.

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:20.307
The nuggets they don't even really need it, like whatever, like I don't know, I don't really care for the nuggets because they always beat my sons.

00:24:20.307 --> 00:24:24.294
So you know that's what I think all right, right.

00:24:24.374 --> 00:24:27.118
Yeah, they do put a hurting on the Suns, yeah it's really sad.

00:24:27.118 --> 00:24:30.051
What do you think, C-Pain?

00:24:31.728 --> 00:24:37.612
Hey, I got the young boys in OKC because I'm just, you know, I like what I saw in the second game.

00:24:37.612 --> 00:24:50.770
I feel like again, that was another close game-time decision, like again with Chet you know, kind of Wrecking the free throws, not getting out to the three point line, that's what got him.

00:24:50.770 --> 00:25:01.144
And I think that when it comes to like this young team, again it's all about them Taking their lumps and then responding Because again they have the most talent, they have the deepest roster.

00:25:01.144 --> 00:25:06.349
It's just everybody being like, hey, let's lock in, play a good 48 minutes, nobody else can beat us.

00:25:06.626 --> 00:25:20.898
So I think that, yeah, that does sound like I'm shouting my pick early, but you know, that's how the eastern conference is looking at that I figured that's where you go, figured you go that.

00:25:20.898 --> 00:25:22.300
Go that route for sure.

00:25:22.300 --> 00:25:34.298
Yeah, uh shout out to uh johnny o up here so said uh, hey, ladies and gentlemen, how y'all doing, what's up, johnny yo, johnny yo, we're playing your uh performance as we end the uh show today.

00:25:34.298 --> 00:25:39.159
So stick around and take a look at that as we play, that as we go out.

00:25:39.159 --> 00:25:45.178
So yeah, I think that the Thunder will definitely strike.

00:25:45.178 --> 00:25:46.536
I think they win this in at least.

00:25:47.577 --> 00:25:50.074
I probably agree with Diego and say six.

00:25:50.074 --> 00:25:51.357
I don't see it going seven.

00:25:51.357 --> 00:26:05.882
I think the Nuggets are going to come out strong, so they'll probably get one of those games at home, either three or four, but I see the Thunder finishing this one off in six.

00:26:05.882 --> 00:26:07.696
But what about that home crowd?

00:26:07.696 --> 00:26:11.117
Like the coordination, like I've never seen.

00:26:11.117 --> 00:26:18.307
You've seen them put the shirts out right, but normally 70% might wear the shirts out right, but normally 70 might wear the shirt, 60, 70.

00:26:18.828 --> 00:26:31.415
Pretty much everybody in okc wears those t-shirts yeah, it's funny because apparently, like they'll show you like on camera, on like the big screen, if you're not wearing a t-shirt, so it's like yeah that'll force you to not like a bear shit.

00:26:31.415 --> 00:26:33.781
Like you know, do your thing, but I really like it.

00:26:33.781 --> 00:26:34.915
I like seeing you know.

00:26:34.915 --> 00:26:36.465
It gives that old playoff feeling.

00:26:36.465 --> 00:26:39.615
Everybody wears shirts, everybody's excited.

00:26:39.615 --> 00:26:44.416
My favorite stadiums during these playoffs have been Minnesota and OKC.

00:26:44.416 --> 00:26:46.855
Just how crazy those crowds have gotten.

00:26:47.156 --> 00:26:47.919
Yeah, yeah.

00:26:50.291 --> 00:26:51.852
That's a great home court advantage.

00:26:51.852 --> 00:26:55.057
I've been able to go to one game there before.

00:26:55.057 --> 00:26:58.834
Yeah, it was great, so a great environment.

00:26:58.834 --> 00:27:03.354
I think they are going to build a new stadium but uh, yeah, I mean, they weren't even supposed to have a team.

00:27:03.354 --> 00:27:20.098
I think the, if I remember right, they have their team because the uh, the hornets, were there for like a year and the support was so huge that then the NBA, you know, saw that and then they were able to, you know, eventually get a team down there.

00:27:20.098 --> 00:27:21.615
But, yeah, that fan base is crazy.

00:27:21.615 --> 00:27:25.519
That's their only professional team, so great place to watch again.

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:30.101
So, yeah, definitely think the Thunder will strike and get this All right.

00:27:30.550 --> 00:27:35.759
Well, we're about out of time, so it's time to make NBA picks.

00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:37.676
Are we sticking with our picks?

00:27:37.676 --> 00:27:42.630
Are we changing, or has anybody's team got knocked out and are you forced to change your picks?

00:27:42.630 --> 00:27:49.124
So, erica, we see you've got OKC solid pick there, all right.

00:27:49.124 --> 00:27:55.171
So, diego man, let's start with you here Again.

00:27:55.171 --> 00:27:56.298
We already gave you the olive branch, so you know you're.

00:27:56.298 --> 00:27:56.943
Let's start with you here Again.

00:27:56.943 --> 00:28:00.599
We already gave you the olive branch, so you know you're pretty much stuck with the Warriors.

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.980
But how confident are you in your Warriors holding on?

00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:09.199
You might as well just skip over me, because you know I have the same pick.

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:12.934
Same pick, and who are they playing in the finals?

00:28:13.676 --> 00:28:16.242
Celtics, Warriors Celtics Just like 2022.

00:28:16.242 --> 00:28:18.175
Beat them down just like 2022.

00:28:18.195 --> 00:28:21.135
Okay, so see, see, I'm not the only one saying Celtics.

00:28:21.135 --> 00:28:24.936
You know, we'll say the Celtics are still going to get there.

00:28:24.936 --> 00:28:25.499
All right, bree.

00:28:25.499 --> 00:28:29.785
I don't know if we got your official pick from the beginning.

00:28:29.905 --> 00:28:31.912
Yeah, you're not on the record, so you kind of.

00:28:32.133 --> 00:28:39.076
No, I got to make a good choice, then You're kind of cheating a little bit here, because you're making it midway, but we'll still count it.

00:28:39.116 --> 00:28:39.859
Yeah, it's okay.

00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:41.516
I'm going to take the Timberwolves.

00:28:41.516 --> 00:28:43.536
I really see them winning.

00:28:43.536 --> 00:28:44.479
I don't know why.

00:28:44.638 --> 00:28:45.221
I mean, I know why.

00:28:45.651 --> 00:28:46.655
I mean, they're just that good.

00:28:46.655 --> 00:28:53.478
I want the Knicks like at the end of the day because McHale bridges that they're not going to, I don't know.

00:28:53.478 --> 00:28:55.359
They're not going to make it to the finals.

00:28:55.780 --> 00:28:58.203
Nah, they definitely will not make it to the finals.

00:28:58.203 --> 00:29:09.700
So sad, but you know, okay, he made it further with them than the Suns, so it's fine, all right, okay, okay, I like that C Payne man.

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:15.157
So, lakers, you know we tried to give you that olive branch.

00:29:15.157 --> 00:29:17.069
Didn't want to take it, but now you're kind of forced to make your new pick.

00:29:17.069 --> 00:29:19.477
So looks like you've already said OKC.

00:29:19.477 --> 00:29:23.679
So sounds like you had that there.

00:29:25.531 --> 00:29:27.116
I mean I had the Celtics before.

00:29:27.116 --> 00:29:35.076
Y'all decided to miss 75-3, so now I'm like it was like, oh well, obviously the Celtics are going to win, because you know my team's out.

00:29:35.076 --> 00:29:36.779
And now it looks like, oh well, obviously the Celtics are going to win because you know my team's out.

00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:37.355
And now it looks like, oh okay.

00:29:37.355 --> 00:29:47.116
So I would still say, even though I did roast them, I do think it's possible for the Celtics to come back if the variance swings their way.

00:29:47.116 --> 00:29:49.919
But I'm still picking the Thunder to win the whole thing.

00:29:49.919 --> 00:29:52.990
So I will say Celtics-Thunder.

00:29:52.990 --> 00:29:56.681
But again, the Celtics have to play perfect these next two games.

00:29:56.681 --> 00:29:58.711
It can't be no dilly-dallying, it can't be.

00:29:58.711 --> 00:30:02.516
You know, I'm 20, and all of a sudden they forget how to play basketball.

00:30:02.516 --> 00:30:04.376
That cannot happen.

00:30:04.376 --> 00:30:08.236
They have to survive this series because I believe they'll whoop on whoever wins Calf Spacers.

00:30:08.236 --> 00:30:09.494
I firmly believe in that.

00:30:09.494 --> 00:30:18.811
Because, again, I still don't believe in the.

00:30:18.833 --> 00:30:19.575
Calf's experience the cows experience.

00:30:19.575 --> 00:30:20.459
But liz, yeah, yeah, y'all gotta do something.

00:30:20.459 --> 00:30:21.060
This y'all gotta win for sure.

00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:21.663
Yes, it's all that or nothing.

00:30:21.663 --> 00:30:22.969
I'm also saying that, like you know, because of my roommate.

00:30:22.969 --> 00:30:24.532
You know he was going through.

00:30:24.532 --> 00:30:30.074
He actually like went to game two and like it was like yeah, so we saw the story point, look, that's where it went.

00:30:30.074 --> 00:30:31.596
Well, like one lead.

00:30:31.596 --> 00:30:32.960
So, yeah, shout out to dj.

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:34.932
I just who was dj pulling?

00:30:34.952 --> 00:30:35.875
for, oh no, he's.

00:30:35.875 --> 00:30:38.536
He's a Celtics fan, he's a diehard Celtics fan.

00:30:38.536 --> 00:30:40.108
So that's why I was like ah yeah.

00:30:40.108 --> 00:30:49.957
Man, yeah, in fact it was scary how calm he was after those games, so I was like ah man, he might know something, I don't.

00:30:49.997 --> 00:30:55.073
Yeah, oh yeah, just waiting for something to break.

00:30:55.733 --> 00:30:56.757
All right yeah.

00:30:57.979 --> 00:31:00.855
Okay, okay, well, see, see y'all, y'all still believe in myself.

00:31:00.855 --> 00:31:05.279
I mean, hey, they, even if they were, I mean we know they're going to easily win game three.

00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.363
But let's say something.

00:31:06.363 --> 00:31:12.814
Let's say there was a fluke, injury or something you know, and they lost game three, they still take the last four.

00:31:12.814 --> 00:31:16.643
I mean they're just that much better, all right.

00:31:17.369 --> 00:31:19.160
It's that much better we're not coming back from 3-0, man.

00:31:19.541 --> 00:31:21.089
That happened, that happened.

00:31:21.814 --> 00:31:23.563
Hey, they came back from 3-0.

00:31:23.563 --> 00:31:25.614
The other time forced a game seven and it was a win.

00:31:25.634 --> 00:31:27.184
They didn't win the game, they didn't win the game.

00:31:27.204 --> 00:31:27.808
They didn't win the game.

00:31:28.191 --> 00:31:30.157
They didn't twist his ankle in game seven.

00:31:37.490 --> 00:31:38.557
If Eric Jared White doesn't get one of the craziest layups we've ever seen, that series is over.

00:31:38.385 --> 00:31:40.442
That was a one in a million chance to get to this.

00:31:40.442 --> 00:31:42.263
It was himmy jimmy.

00:31:42.263 --> 00:31:47.238
Just like he's going to close out the temple, steph might not even come back.

00:31:47.238 --> 00:31:49.795
Yeah, we might just close it out.

00:31:51.371 --> 00:31:52.480
Man wow.

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.336
We only get that one out, Steph.

00:31:55.070 --> 00:31:57.097
Wild, wild, wild, all right.

00:31:57.097 --> 00:32:01.080
Well, hey, let's go on and get on out of here.

00:32:01.080 --> 00:32:05.411
I appreciate y'all hopping on just doing a little smack talk Again.

00:32:05.411 --> 00:32:19.813
We weren't supposed to be on but with the big deficit it seemed like a home team couldn't win, had to come on here and chop it up, talk a little bit of junk, but we'll be back in the studio next Friday with a full-blown official show, deep Dive.

00:32:19.813 --> 00:32:27.833
We'll have all the clips of me correctly predicting how everything was going to go, so we might have a little intro.

00:32:27.833 --> 00:32:31.432
We might have an extended intro before next week's show.

00:32:31.732 --> 00:32:32.515
All right man.

00:32:34.057 --> 00:32:36.079
Sounds great Because.

00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:38.884
I need a subject, super kind of like the Lakers do if y'all get swept.

00:32:38.884 --> 00:32:45.805
I'm just saying, if that happens, I need that same energy returned for me, because that was hilarious last week.

00:32:45.805 --> 00:32:48.492
I ain't going to lie, but I need to get my get back.

00:32:48.492 --> 00:32:52.137
So, yeah, yeah, cut the clips, cut the clips, cut the clip.

00:32:52.638 --> 00:32:59.512
