Off top, guess what? The vanilla snack

0:02

Charlie Kravitz is back. So

0:05

Charlie, I

0:07

got wind of a DM sent

0:09

by someone who thinks you're

0:11

cute. Put it up. Let's take a

0:13

look at, oh, there it is. It

0:15

says, I like the guy. Ask

0:18

Dom off he's single and how old? So

0:20

sorry to disappoint all the fans out

0:23

there. Charlie is not single. He's happily

0:25

engaged. And I don't know how

0:27

old Charlie is, 30 something? Curls

0:29

for the girl star. You got the curls, I got the girls going

0:31

nuts. Play music. This is the

0:33

Dominique Foxworth show. All right.

0:41

The Dominique Foxworth show welcomes you all here.

0:43

And also I'm so honored to be here

0:45

with Charlie, the snack attack Kravitz. Why are

0:47

you not saying anything? She's so quiet. You're

0:49

not flattered. I hate you. Why you hate

0:52

me? I just, I mean, it's important.

0:54

This is something who were people who have been with

0:56

us since the beginning. Remember how when

0:58

you first got on screen, everybody,

1:00

well not everybody, but a lot of people were

1:02

surprised that Charlie,

1:04

you remember that's how you got the name, the vanilla

1:06

snack. It's true. So I'm supposed to just let a

1:09

DM come my way where people are trying to holler

1:11

at the snack and not bring it to the- It

1:13

didn't come your way. It did come my way. It

1:16

came my way via a friend.

1:18

So someone posted a video. Ashley's

1:21

cousin's friend. So Ashley's cousin posted

1:23

a video and her friend said,

1:26

who that is. Send a video.

1:29

Yeah. And she only, I mean, she

1:31

only dates black guys. So congratulations to you. You crossed over.

1:34

Thank you. The average of this podcast. Should

1:38

we talk about some playoff basketball? Yes. We

1:41

should talk about playoff basketball and eventually get to

1:43

some playoffs to pearly to. That's right. Yep.

1:46

We, we gotta start with the Knicks. My

1:48

Knicks. Your Knicks. Our New York Knicks. You

1:51

stole my thunder. I had to

1:53

have my Knicks. I

1:56

think everyone outside of Indianapolis is enjoying or outside

1:58

of Indiana is enjoying the Knicks. Everyone except for

2:00

Reggie Miller. But

2:03

they won game two. They're up 2-0 in the

2:06

second round against the Indiana Pacers. They

2:08

are walking wounded. OG

2:11

Ananobi went out with a pulled hamstring.

2:13

Brunson's got a foot. He's

2:16

a foot thing. He's got a foot thing. They're

2:19

missing Mitchell Robinson who has stress fracture to his

2:21

ankle. Boyan Bogdanovich is injured.

2:24

Julius Randall is out. Josh Hart

2:26

is praying before games because he's

2:28

concerned about surviving all the minutes

2:30

that are given to him by

2:32

the great Thebes. He

2:34

broke a record for most minutes played

2:37

in the last eight playoff games. It

2:39

was a record, 373 minutes. He

2:42

broke a Wilt Chamberlain record. Don't go

2:44

get broken. Those don't get broken. That's

2:47

ridiculous. But I think it should be Thebes'

2:49

record, honestly. But okay, go ahead. Thebes

2:52

gets the placards for it. Well,

2:54

how should the Knicks feel after their game two win? I

2:57

mean, basking the joy that

3:00

is the Knicks. I mean, they've

3:04

had these guys who we thought were role

3:06

players step up in a big way. So

3:08

I don't think it's completely over for them.

3:10

I mean, they're up two. Oh, so like

3:12

you would expect them to win. But I

3:14

think the general sentiment is things are gonna

3:16

change when they don't have Jaylen Brunson who's

3:19

been scoring 40 points every game

3:21

except for this last one. And this last one

3:23

is only because he was out for extended time.

3:25

Quarter and a half. 29 points and

3:27

two and a half quarters. Yeah, because of the

3:29

injury. So it's a

3:31

tough feeling. The concern is like

3:33

how bad is the foot? Like they

3:36

could survive a game or two

3:38

as long as they could get Brunson back at

3:40

some point at good enough shape

3:42

and still win. But I don't

3:45

know. It feels like found

3:47

money, which it shouldn't because they advanced to the second

3:49

round last year. But I don't think

3:51

anybody would be disappointed if they come short. It's one of

3:53

those teams that rarely are

3:56

associated with big cities, but

3:58

it's one of those teams where they're...

4:00

underdog-ish and everyone kind of loved him. So it's

4:02

a fun story. I don't think there's any downside I

4:04

know they don't think this They

4:06

are playing on going to the championship and winning

4:08

championship because athletes are delusional I was one I

4:10

can tell you but it's still a

4:12

good I mean, they're in a good spot I mean, Galen

4:15

Brunson is gonna play game three. You

4:17

think so? Oh, yeah. Okay, you're gonna have

4:19

to drag that man off the court to not let him play

4:21

I Think

4:25

that their feeling of joy is very

4:27

tenuous. Yeah It's very

4:29

immediate but like I think that Tibbs

4:32

is Partially to blame for

4:34

these injuries I think the minute load and

4:36

the fact that he didn't figure

4:38

out ways to like get Josh hard

4:40

arrest get Jalen Brunson more Rest is

4:43

a little bit nuts. It's history repeating itself Yeah,

4:46

of course Jimmy Butler got the second

4:48

act but that's what he did

4:50

to Jimmy Butler and like turned his injured

4:53

his knees and did Joakim Noah's career and

4:55

did Derek Rose's career really early and Now

4:57

we're seeing it with Hart Brunson,

4:59

even Chenzo and an obi these

5:01

guys It's one thing

5:03

to play in 42 minutes. It's another thing to

5:05

just grind them into the ground like this You

5:07

know, I have a contrarian streak so I want

5:10

to defend Tibbs and point out

5:12

that there are lots of injuries around

5:14

the playoffs and this is just what's

5:16

happening with basketball now, but I can't

5:18

when you go down the the list

5:20

of names like I want to point

5:22

to in beat I want to point

5:25

to Giannis and and Dame But

5:28

you named it what you do Like

5:30

it's a lot and it seems like and then you

5:32

went back into history It does seem like something that

5:34

comes with the Tibbs thing So I'm not sure if

5:36

you can blame Tibbs if you know, that's what you're

5:38

signing up for So I don't

5:41

know you want to blame Leon Rose or whoever

5:43

hired him, but you know, that's what you're getting

5:45

with Tibbs I Mean, yes But it's also

5:47

like or Jim Dolan You know like when you get a

5:49

when you get like a dog and like they get near

5:51

the oven the first time. like what's this? No, get away

5:53

from the oven dog. It's hot, You'll burn yourself. I

6:00

guess you can get your head out of

6:02

the oven to I guess you. However, if

6:04

you have a dog. Who. Keeps

6:07

going important his face on the oven seven

6:09

times in a row is your fault for leave

6:11

it to rent a house alone with the oven

6:13

or what like it's as if I were

6:15

to put Kurt Tippett a crate or already

6:17

to put like what of baby gates what a

6:19

baby day around of it as a weird

6:21

analogy because I didn't own a dog my

6:23

dog remember method of well have a dog now

6:26

but my dog have never been interested in

6:28

of and like alamo to it up soon

6:30

they do supply best served by the of in

6:32

caves or disregarded toilet bowl at it as a

6:34

dog that I get access he tips tearing.

6:36

Up she says she does that

6:38

where the suits your of yes.

6:41

Or no is do think this is

6:43

possible. I guess that's the question is.

6:46

A. Tip: Supporter. Would.

6:49

Argue that this is the way that

6:51

he knows how to win and you

6:53

can't argue with the results. The sad

6:55

part is the results of their up

6:57

to zero in their down five players.

6:59

Yeah so those are there was an

7:01

dared to me clearly the better team.

7:04

And. I don't think that. Is.

7:06

A situation we have the clear better team

7:08

the by far the best player in the

7:10

series and you're up to our you should

7:12

feel like incredibly confident in this series is

7:14

is something I don't feeling that they're probably

7:17

confident that wants a boy from them besides

7:19

thing too is that bait the bees players

7:21

are not outside it Zealand Brunson. Like.

7:23

I understand like when you're when we had to

7:25

do in a know a joke it's minutes like

7:27

a good bet that's a hard you can find

7:30

a way to steal. You'll get some rest because

7:32

the team is entirely different Le Bron in his

7:34

prime or Le Bron right now to they have

7:36

a second ball handler are legitimate one i guess

7:38

de la but anyway those that have invested they

7:40

nothing of confusing. To. Me about Tibbs

7:43

is is Cb pretty easy like

7:45

me? Bride is functional like it'd

7:47

be pretty easy to figure out

7:49

ways to steal a couple minutes

7:51

here and there for like d

7:53

Vincenzo and Josh heart like small

7:55

that's the thing. And like the

7:57

Bronson South I mean. Prices.

7:59

Turn. You're paying into the most

8:01

exciting sorry to come in in

8:03

India into these are conference in

8:05

a while. I get his must

8:08

watch with the Msc crowd and

8:10

Bransons Willis read moment hobbling out

8:12

there on one foot and making

8:14

everything. I mean it's we're going

8:16

out and expect him to score

8:18

forty every night that he. Has

8:20

been. The best player in

8:22

Eastern conference. I know that I'm

8:24

into line with like Thirty six Britain Where Absurd.

8:27

I had a random question for you. Brought.

8:30

His career. I'm trying to figure who to

8:32

compare it to, but. I

8:35

I know love it so. but right

8:37

now that I've got to figure out

8:40

like who who's won a championship career

8:42

when I trade and to have bread

8:44

since career because being the underdog man

8:46

who made New York relevant for the

8:49

first times and thirty years or I'm

8:51

in. Guess not thirty years, but first

8:53

time since almost thirty years. Carmelo for

8:55

this is that's the one. Yeah, would

8:58

you rather have Mellas career bronzes Fair.

9:01

I mean, I'd much rather. Be.

9:04

Brunson in New York and Carmelo yeah I mean

9:06

come out career is pretty great, but he didn't

9:08

win a championship. Or

9:11

now the fact that he is the king

9:13

a New York is pretty freaky great for

9:15

for getting to the second round twice he

9:17

lipid to be on his more playoff wins

9:19

and then mellow already. I mean the thing

9:21

about it is like. Branson,

9:24

Has done. And. with his

9:27

developments unbelievable his enough top

9:29

five Mb Fi finisher but.

9:32

I've. Never seen anything like the Bronson heart

9:34

David Jones Think they picked up exactly

9:36

where they left off on a college

9:38

team. And it just works the

9:40

same way. They play the same way. They

9:42

assume the same roles a given Senza. Didn't.

9:45

Have this role and golden state or

9:47

malachy he's not creating for himself. Josh

9:49

for it is like and mean. obviously

9:52

the rebounding and stuff but he looks like

9:55

bulls jimmy butler he looks like college shush

9:57

heart where he was just this dominant physical

9:59

guy a And I think a lot of that trickles

10:02

down from Brunson because yeah,

10:04

he's an incredible superstar scorer in a way

10:06

that's surprising to people because of his height

10:08

and his build. But he's obviously

10:10

clearly empowering teammates. Like actually, he's

10:13

trusting them to create for themselves. How could

10:15

people be so dumb to doubt Jalen Brunson

10:17

just because of his body type? Small-minded

10:21

people. Do you remember the days when people

10:23

were on this network crushing the contract he

10:25

signed with the Knicks? I do remember those

10:28

days. How could you spend $100 million on

10:30

Jalen Brunson? He's

10:32

the 15th best point guard in the NBA.

10:36

The going rate is almost twice that. And

10:38

you know what? He's one of the six

10:40

or seven best guys in the league, period. The thing

10:42

that the kind of bigger picture thing that you and

10:44

I have been tiptoeing around a

10:46

lot more and more this season is

10:50

like the way situation

10:52

matters in basketball in a way that we

10:54

never really considered it before. And we've always

10:56

kind of talked about basketball players as like

10:59

they're the players they're going to be. And

11:01

we don't appreciate that the

11:04

situation giving them the opportunity, giving

11:06

them the right players could open

11:08

something up. And so while you're

11:10

right, Brunson has his leadership has

11:12

allowed some of these guys to

11:14

flourish. I do think these guys

11:16

in this situation and frankly, just giving him

11:19

the franchise in a way that I

11:22

think SGA is another example of that where he

11:24

was. He wasn't going to be given the franchise

11:26

in LA for the Clippers. Then he comes to

11:29

OKC, they give him the franchise. It allows him to flourish.

11:31

The same thing with Maxie. They get rid of Harden. All

11:33

of a sudden he flourishes. I think we'll get into some

11:35

of these players a little bit more later. But I think

11:37

that's the biggest takeaway for me in watching

11:40

this Brunson thing is we

11:43

don't know exactly what

11:45

these players are. All of

11:47

them outside of the situation that they're in. I mean, I

11:50

got a question for you, but this is sort of pushing it forward

11:52

the next. Some summertime,

11:55

you've just watched this MSG

11:57

crowd. You've watched this next team. The

12:00

Knicks are so cool again. Yeah! But.

12:03

You also noted this chemistries is like really delicate

12:05

thing of course bad at and and obese and

12:07

then when you're brunson I'll be out there there.

12:09

Twenty six and for you get the best basketball.

12:11

Have ended up his career but a huge part

12:13

of this. Is. The chemistry of the

12:16

three Villanova guys. And.

12:18

If you're another star, or if you're Leon

12:20

Rose. Are. You thinking like. Now.

12:22

Or destination. Now we need to go get a guy.

12:24

Are you like. We. Got this because like

12:27

to me it's it's clear coat find a

12:29

way to get Mchale Bridges is the next make

12:31

it developed over for that's not is not

12:33

a rigid. it's a ridiculous question asked if they

12:35

want to when it's average bear now when a

12:38

tabriz it with this roster so they're going

12:40

to have to get a guy. I don't know

12:42

Mchale Bridges enough but it's fairly preserve them

12:44

in the right direction. Bites.

12:47

Yeah now now we're talking by die

12:49

and urges I mean tape still be

12:52

to Coats. You. Still got into

12:54

get that conference final with everyone beat

12:56

down and broken so. You

12:58

want to trade coats I would you gotta

13:01

do you have they get on board with

13:03

this or fake it seems like base a

13:05

higher is a good coaches the think you

13:07

may also play don't say up and incredibly

13:09

success. What a number different places but I

13:11

do take I was defending him. But.

13:14

From. Your perspective berries bit of a cap on

13:16

how good a team or how deep a

13:18

team to go. I. Don't know. I

13:20

just think it's like I like a hydrant higher

13:23

risk. It's also just like frustrating that he had

13:25

didn't adapt it all to this for the situation

13:27

I'm that suggested me. that is not something that

13:29

he wants to adapt. To lie down. you think

13:31

it's a problem. Other people think of the problem,

13:34

he thinks it's the right word. Coats? Yeah, and

13:36

I assume that it would be very hard to

13:38

put together a plan for, like when we're going

13:40

to live with our rotation when we were poor

13:43

people. When we're going to put people like that

13:45

can be that hard to protect their minutes in

13:47

that way. And you know what? Maybe.

13:49

Devens heads or doesn't turn into this

13:52

guy. He's not playing forty minutes as

13:54

as twenty two minutes a night? Maybe

13:56

maybe.also? have. You

13:58

know people say is so the play every

14:00

play like is your last isn't It does

14:02

feel like tubes coaches every minute. Like is

14:04

the female minutes of a game seven and

14:06

M B A finals like I gotta have

14:08

all my dad's out there. I'll buy the

14:10

I love how you I. Have

14:13

taken on the reseller of now watching every shot

14:15

to see if it's going to go for and

14:17

calling a plethora but it leaves their hand I

14:20

do Any dude you've had the first the you

14:22

to this morning was when he walked watched even

14:24

said the you now assume every single shots go

14:26

again it's so weird is is a weird things

14:28

like listening to refill I heard him say that

14:30

he he got a broad of the thing that

14:33

we all experience yep that like when a guy

14:35

takes a sad you have a feeling. When.

14:37

It's going in or not. And.

14:41

There. Was a time when dividends or to

14:43

decide another I will see. Now.

14:45

He pulls it off the lights or if

14:47

he'll step is spill like clay This a

14:49

better example like oh yeah that's going to

14:51

which is a weird thing and has happened

14:53

in a court of his play ah yes

14:55

like the beginning of play off his it

14:57

is struggling a bit too familiar with the

14:59

a couple a couple better but then it's

15:01

just like every slot is buried and josh

15:03

heart similar thing the seen. These

15:06

are guys that were never thought of as

15:08

like. Big. Three years

15:10

Attleborough was there on the verge of a

15:12

bit. Be doubly are that to this team?

15:14

Yeah. Even if they aren't all that

15:16

on that level consistently they're about to this

15:18

thing you do. The number one guy who

15:20

anytime he released the by those going in

15:22

was rattling. From.

15:26

Eight to sixteen feet. Shaun Livingston says

15:28

that he's never miss one of those

15:31

shots in history says aboard Zoc don't

15:33

know that who. So who's the suitor?

15:35

Who the suit Or that when elect

15:37

their hands You always thought I was

15:39

thinking cause your age be Ray Allen

15:42

Mccurry a yeah Curry Curries Madness Nefarious.

15:44

Bobby's one. I mean. It's

15:46

it's Shaun Livingston. as obvious as

15:48

the only whatever thy bad. Game

15:51

gets brought up. I be added of he's

15:53

ever miss one of us as he might

15:56

have shot like ten thousand for ten thousand

things visit N B A playoffs approach as

19:12

good as a while of supposes. Sir.

19:15

I personally like I'm imparts se now

19:17

is because. Everything moves so

19:19

fast that we forget moments and I

19:21

liked the idea that right now at

19:23

this point it's not over. We're gonna

19:26

take an inventory to like try to

19:28

make this stick in my brain. Who

19:30

had five years from now? we're doing

19:32

this so I'll be like is about

19:34

me up Yep. I prefer first

19:36

draft of our twenty twenty four and

19:38

be a plan for your buck. How

19:40

I literally thought your it? Answer that

19:42

question being feel like you know I

19:44

like superlatives because it means we're not

19:46

drafting something I would go to go

19:48

there or go with because I am

19:50

superlative. As a compliment

19:52

and on. The. Can be or

19:55

to do a massive insult or other with.

19:57

Our. Biggest surprise. Ah,

20:00

air the liar I think.

20:03

I. Have to be honest, I've been. Spin.

20:05

The first part as large as singing

20:08

jail in Brazil for praises. I have

20:10

to be honest, he's been the biggest

20:12

surprise. Me: The A The haters there

20:15

were talking about earlier that were a

20:17

hating on him because of his body

20:19

type. As most of the listeners know,

20:21

I am one of those haters who

20:24

M O is obsessed with. Ah, not

20:26

obsessed by its weight. Atlanticism. And

20:29

by tests higher than most and I

20:31

think it's served me well. Third, a

20:33

history of and be A but I've

20:35

been dead wrong about Jail and Bronson,

20:37

and it's been fine to be wrong

20:40

to watch Kyle Lowry number two out

20:42

there giving them the work. I.

20:45

Love that he's on a higher level. the not

20:47

as an insult said Kyle Lowry but out the

20:50

first further I've been gov school. Also be like

20:52

a fire today is a been insane down be

20:54

and cause it's. So

20:56

early enough for my biggest surprise. and

20:58

haven't I've an honorable mention than my

21:01

choice of anarchy breaking the rules of

21:03

Uncle Medicine for Vegas rest Slightly less

21:05

surprising, parker. I'm. Going

21:07

to try and say this in at a

21:09

nice way Be audible. Magid is Lcs. Kyrie

21:12

Irving's research. oh about your the go

21:14

ahead or out I or is it

21:16

okay along now I bet I'd that

21:18

on the basketball court. I did know

21:20

for area see this version of a

21:22

read and as like this compose sex

21:24

second option who is like. Really?

21:26

Supportive of a as right I'll jerry and

21:28

injured injured Luca. but I mean for though

21:31

I got Mavericks runs he's really like understood

21:33

how the team flows and that the up

21:35

and slurs and obviously off the court. he

21:37

sounds completely different than he did for a

21:39

couple of his years of his struggles shall

21:41

we say. The biggest

21:44

surprise to me though? Has

21:46

been. To. Nuggets folding in

21:48

the postseason. I'm.

21:51

Really yes I'm just really surprised by the

21:53

lack of composure and obvious think he come

21:55

back and when that the the series against

21:57

the temples and I was like a a

21:59

killer. A big old dummy com. But

22:01

yes, it's really surprising to me because you

22:04

know you have an all timer neo kids.

22:06

You have a team with a lot of

22:08

continuity. And

22:10

it's not just the Timbral series it was seeing

22:13

them try and flip the switch against the Lakers

22:15

every single game, rather just be like. Now.

22:17

Where this team we're going to roll this

22:19

and sort of old stiff Lakers team out

22:21

of the building com that earning to me

22:23

the Lakers serialised looks a lot more embarrassing

22:25

or nightmares and looks like as a lot

22:28

tougher now. Than. It did at a

22:30

time I was unwilling to buy into it

22:32

being a tough series when they swept him.

22:34

But now the issues that they had as

22:36

series are like magnifies I. I get bets,

22:38

I feel like I feel responsible or feel

22:41

like I need to point out that. Hangover.

22:44

All of these. Is happy

22:46

day I was in the wolves Kind of

22:48

because like. We. Could have

22:50

definitely put them for biggest surprise

22:52

to light that. No one expected

22:54

it. We all kind of talked about in said

22:57

maybe but no one expected a way with next.

22:59

Next. On. Now. You don't

23:01

hate her back. Most disappointing I am

23:03

a pre take the from you so

23:05

that I can be more gentle. The

23:09

Sun was going to pick up really only

23:11

can think of death the Sun's at. They've

23:13

been incredibly disappointing. They were favored to beat

23:15

the Wolves before that there's and as I

23:17

think a winning record maybe are undefeated. Guess

23:19

it wasn't a regular swept him in the

23:21

season. Yeah, they were a team that was

23:24

really exciting and off season because they got

23:26

all the stars together and then they had

23:28

a unhealthy regular season. But we all kind

23:30

of. Assumed that be stars would come

23:32

together beal and Booker and Durant's and

23:34

at least get out of the first

23:37

round. It's hard to think of something

23:39

more disappointing then. Not. That.

23:41

They loss in the first round. although

23:43

that is disappointing better than gets you

23:46

to most disappointing would get see. The

23:48

most disappointing is how they lost Gone

23:50

as sad as they went else so

23:53

sad and got swept and embarrassing seemed

23:55

outmatched the whole damn so as muscle

23:57

man start hating on a coach. This

24:00

blaming everybody on a way out is a bad

24:02

luck. Clear to me like Edwards emergence who had

24:04

them he he's a me. A theme throughout all

24:06

the air has made it look like a lot

24:08

better. I Kiss and what they've done the first,

24:10

against and against. Recent

24:15

run back of the Helix road Warrior sticks

24:17

himself around the edges great Now those are

24:19

why not I like best. Can we just

24:21

flat in here have one more subversive when

24:23

I'm Ira will keep ago and I don't

24:25

know all your brothers but I'm going to

24:27

make sure that we get her mom and

24:29

an example our going to get tired of

24:31

other my most disappointing. The. Los

24:34

Angeles Clippers, That

24:36

series. Was

24:38

a catastrophe. F it was a

24:41

catastrophe. It's their offense. Without.

24:43

Cool. I leonard. Is absolutely putrid

24:45

in the way they close at. That

24:47

series is has been a five year

24:50

run where they traded seven first round

24:52

picks. it's a gorgeous Alexander for Paul

24:54

George were censored the signing choir Leonard

24:56

The then traded for James Harden which

24:58

worked for about five minutes where they're

25:00

great and February. Westbrook

25:02

went off the deep end in the post

25:05

they don't do They have no team continuity.

25:07

Paul George's probably leave. This

25:09

run is. It's. Hard

25:11

on her. Yes. And either they're gonna win the

25:13

title and twenty twenty like you look at, those

25:15

two guys quite was the best player on planet

25:17

earth and they've got. Nothing.

25:19

From that group yeah Ah is incredibly disappointing.

25:22

but it's not bad disappointing because isn't it's

25:24

hard to be disappointed by something that are

25:26

not surprised by. Yeah that's why I like

25:28

it is it's bit their whole run. Is.

25:31

Incredibly disappointing, but they fell apart the

25:33

way we suspected him of all the

25:36

bar so it was ugly specially again

25:38

Looking at the mavs in this next

25:40

round look not quite as powerful slice

25:42

having the reverse effect that we had.

25:44

The sun's the outlook I bear little

25:47

bit better because the wolves are so

25:49

good against the nuggets. The ah, the

25:51

clippers look a little bit worse because

25:53

the mavs are struggling in an exam

25:55

as a part of it for me

25:58

though is that stretch in Siberia. And

26:00

co I was healthy and play because that's

26:02

a mix. It's a disappointing because. In

26:04

those, but he's never be healthy and. It.

26:06

Sucks because in spurts he can still

26:08

be one of the best guys. We

26:11

ended his daddy or basket making plays

26:13

and the sachem including unstoppable him hanging

26:15

on the ram and order to reduce

26:17

the impact on his knees you ever

26:19

that he like dunked any like home

26:21

where the room for a second alive

26:23

lightly landed that was like the picture

26:26

of flights. the sadness of this like

26:28

of death and I never gone be

26:30

the same and we always imagined maybe

26:32

to get it together for and of

26:34

weeks But adding is clear that. He

26:36

can't go for him. Got em Anita

26:39

Precision Bomber some any of Great career.

26:41

We're Raimi and weirdest Create I like

26:43

to like figure it out because his

26:45

highs were his eyes were in in

26:48

that era of stars on the Mount

26:50

Rushmore with the rant curry Le Bron

26:52

and collide those of the four guys

26:54

have that that's or a generation be

26:57

them none of the volume are counting

26:59

stats and with the heizer and said

27:01

i'm. Most. Likely to win it all. Carvalho

27:04

you slight curve ball on

27:06

the east. The.

27:08

Celtics I'm gonna go that Kirby's that's my

27:11

pick off our really ah mau I why

27:13

you gotta celtics. I mean,

27:15

I think we might be because

27:17

of the east lack of competition.

27:20

Be. Underwriting the fact that this team. Gray.

27:22

Net Rating: Sixty. Four

27:25

wins. Jayson. Tatum has

27:27

even played well in the post season. Yeah.

27:30

They drop that one game to Miami when

27:32

Miami made twenty three three pointers. but. They're.

27:35

Sort of just rolling and we might look

27:37

up. And like a month and a half

27:39

and the steam is quietly com like sixteen

27:42

and three in the postseason. really? Go. They.

27:44

Really, Were this get all like there?

27:47

Where do you hide against that team?

27:49

There's nowhere to hide defensively. Yeah, they're

27:51

They're a scary group And offensively? yeah,

27:53

wires are hiding suggests you got the

27:56

ball by. Yeah, I'm. By.

27:58

Joe Missoula Man I. The hard

28:00

have imagined Job or Zola don't oppose

28:02

gay press conference covered in champagne. It

28:04

is a it's a weird day and

28:07

him talking about town or whatever to

28:09

be so weird bad at him jumping

28:11

out the blade defense and between our

28:13

time outs gusto Missoula. He seems like

28:15

a cool guy. yes I mean he

28:17

likes get checked out by digits in

28:19

sector. They know that it's a new.

28:22

If. No

28:24

yuk yuks with Max. Next

28:27

one is biggest break out of the postseason

28:29

for you. Go for hours. On

28:31

the minds gonna be jailed Bronson Really?

28:33

Death adder. I know he's a top

28:36

five Mvp candidate and know it was

28:38

my ball last year's. everybody the purses

28:40

last year but. I think

28:42

he's still was. This unassuming India character

28:44

has established himself as like. He's.

28:47

One of the guys now is is

28:49

he's legit. One of the guys like.

28:52

Were. Like a number one that you can win

28:54

with a number one you can win with i

28:56

me I seeming that co I leonard snack in

28:58

a plane the Olympics this year with his knee

29:00

or during the war with his knee and now

29:03

it's like they're given sponsor bronson like he wanted

29:05

to do to should be out there with and

29:07

aliens team bell be out there with and and

29:09

Le Bron in Korean Durant's and those it seems

29:11

like let's go in a gold medal like he's

29:14

establish himself in a different way for like a

29:16

cute story to like. A one.

29:18

Of the dude. to be clear by one

29:20

of the gods what I believe you mean

29:22

is he can be on number one I've

29:25

seen on a championship team. Yes, the and

29:27

as a big that's a big statement. Big

29:29

sap in also like. Now.

29:31

It's not going to be like a pity our he

29:33

did a good side season he deserves like one is

29:35

all and be a spot like now. Now we know

29:37

he's actually good enough easy be defaulted until the this

29:39

past summer going up the not amount that art's well

29:42

I mean. I

29:44

am going to use my sense like

29:46

you used earlier to do an honorable

29:49

mention that because is required because I

29:51

want a crowbar. Tyree smacks the into

29:53

this conversation. Great. A

29:55

because I think that he broke out to

29:57

me as a day. That

30:00

a different level. A. Highlight: We'll see

30:02

how good he was A men in the

30:04

class Mom is of a couple of games

30:06

and adversaries. He did the type of stuff.

30:09

Bet that. One. Of the guys

30:11

that so he's not one of guys yet. but

30:13

I think that break I was real our like

30:15

to give him a little bit of medicine. I

30:17

love I love Terrorists Maxi and I love. Watching.

30:20

That taxi or basketball with you because

30:23

you have preconceived notion of of about

30:25

types of ask about. Last I'm A

30:27

I'm not. Only one is everybody saw

30:29

it's Harrys Maxi run around. All fans

30:31

who by but avoid kids? Do you

30:34

possess Bridges are going on as any

30:36

resisted that is Elite Threes fits. Went

30:40

name the super Athletes that also

30:42

said suit great our socks. I

30:44

mean that was like a year

30:46

ago. I don't dare you Not

30:48

it says represents in Aus I

30:50

assume. That he was out there is the

30:52

Arab box on I'm sorry call me crazy.

30:54

it's the best. I loved it. You look

30:56

at you look at undersized shooting guards, the

30:59

way that light Bill Polian looks the quarterbacks

31:01

that is the up a dead cert. I

31:03

know it the I would they shop and

31:05

sorts. the carbide I bow is laudable mess

31:07

with. read by someone of the I'm back

31:09

to to break out of someone who we

31:11

spent a lotta time on is Abigail. Words

31:13

like we're retired Keep dodging the fact that

31:15

he is the Mvp of the playoffs. He

31:17

is the story of the playoffs right now.

31:19

That team is. So yeah, he's a break out. We

31:21

don't have to talk much about it because we have. Every.

31:24

So I'm kinda like past three weeks that

31:27

skyn of a deck and buttress into the

31:29

next one which was the be able which

31:31

is my pick for the biggest story of

31:33

the post season in for me that's with

31:35

years the as the Edwards breakouts. But.

31:39

He's the guy them like like win

31:41

or lose the series. He's.

31:43

Gonna go into next season. The Mvp favorites. He's

31:45

got like a real chance to be like the

31:47

next grade America player. We talked on the spot

31:49

catholics five times over the last two years. That

31:52

will that When will the next America be the

31:54

best player in the world? Is it? you don't?

31:56

Might be right now. If a kid's like really

31:58

right be might be right down. Yeah,

32:01

the basketball but like it's also like

32:03

the maturity and like the way he's

32:05

transformed the teams persona. Like I know,

32:08

That stuff is all very nebulous in

32:10

could be like be as it's not

32:13

with him, doesn't feel it is not

32:15

with him a basketball teams take on

32:17

the personality of their star and seeing

32:19

that happened with Edwards is so cool.

32:21

Yeah are transition into might have a

32:23

similar it's the biggest or for me

32:25

has been there like more physical ninety

32:28

style of play and the mid range

32:30

of Abby Edwards in the physical play

32:32

of the of the Wolves as been

32:34

something that I enjoyed and a was

32:36

a midseason saints that the league may.

32:38

That we all celebrates and were

32:40

enjoying I think is important. I

32:43

understand that we like offense because

32:45

it's hard when a like offense

32:47

because his offense so like. Yes

32:49

I think it would be foolish

32:52

to say that people turn on

32:54

a Tv to see defense but

32:56

I think defensive like the invisible

32:58

fact there that makes the off

33:00

and special like the intense physical

33:03

defense is what makes us a

33:05

while. That was great. Gone for

33:07

one fifty every night. In every

33:09

Favorite story: The Postseason My

35:08

beloved. Mst crowd the Madison

35:10

35:15

thing that we've heard all day long as

35:17

I do in Be a that it's best

35:19

when the Knicks are dirt you gotta right.

35:22

When they started chanting seventies an Army and

35:24

out like a football game and game to

35:27

us like this. Rules.

35:29

Is rules when Josh heart

35:47

You're not going to get eighty a mega

35:49

receive any more Dm if you to start

35:51

yelling on this rules as much sexier is

35:53

not as sexy as being cool. That's okay.

35:56

We rated Save More a smack. a bit

35:58

scrappy, a straw player. Ah

36:01

now like I bet all of the next

36:04

exam for daily bread than that. I

36:06

think I know you're going to say one

36:08

of the wolves wings. I can imagine that

36:11

come in I'm go Josh hard to studies

36:13

it'll leave get a bunch of rebounds and

36:15

is very scrappy Josh are I think it's

36:17

I am in credit us picking Josh heart

36:20

and them as a decade. Mcdaniels yeah I

36:22

knew it just hurts the obvious wants to

36:24

Mcdaniels turning into like. This. Guy

36:26

this costar with. with ah.

36:30

And. As while I love it from a

36:32

together, I love that and told you to

36:34

do that. You did it without way to

36:36

respect. The man is his league. He tells

36:38

you, give James in love and you damning

36:40

credit as synaptic and Tt mcconnell. Dot

36:44

they even said that ah a shadow

36:46

why we get we get our serious

36:48

is decreasing the caruso seem at the

36:50

plant the at a rate of I

36:52

am as I am scrappy, a player

36:54

in the plan side of the recesses

36:56

of man four Hours curse. I'm most

36:58

likely to have earned a permanent to

37:00

merit on their legacy. I.

37:03

Get ready, brace yourself. Safe.

37:06

And eight of. Hockey

37:08

say that. I made It's pretty

37:10

easy to say. I

37:13

understand that which you're imagining now going

37:15

to say someone like a D R

37:17

and usual years they katie had never

37:19

never say Katie or M B or

37:21

somebody like that but the fact that

37:23

the matter is. Prior. To

37:25

this season. For.

37:27

Pretty much the entirety of Jayson Tatum

37:29

career. We've been saying he's

37:32

gonna be. One. Of them

37:34

ones. As you mentioned earlier, he's the

37:36

type of guy that can be the

37:38

number one option that take over the

37:40

game. type a gas the centerpiece of

37:43

Ah I team. He has their best

37:45

player but he is. In

37:48

comparison to. Anthony

37:50

Edwards. He. A back.

37:53

So while the merits suggested I'm

37:55

dropping down to the bottom analysts,

37:57

I think I'm finally try coming

37:59

to. That that he's not going to

38:01

even be great feel the hall of famer

38:03

he may when of finals mvp a may

38:05

when a couple championships. I don't even know

38:08

the a win win a league mvp but

38:10

I picked know when a league of the

38:12

this is a Maybe this is just me

38:14

being a little mad that he let me

38:16

down but I think we have to accept

38:18

that at this point in his career he's

38:21

getting close a ceiling and in a. Anthony

38:23

Edwards the still bothers you say they could

38:25

win the title or body of. The fact that

38:27

they can win games easily in the post

38:29

season where he has like six for fifteen is

38:32

not that it bothers me, it's fine, it's

38:34

just that the merit point is I had moved

38:36

him up there to one at M once

38:38

and I think it's clear that is not and

38:40

is and and part. It's clear because I'm

38:42

saying was at when Anthony is dawn and only

38:44

oh yes we'll have like yes and I

38:46

kept. We all kept waiting like days. Are you

38:49

going to do it? You're going to do

38:51

it now. You got it. Got the experience. He's

38:53

been there a couple times, married going to

38:55

do it and. It is

38:57

now but it looks like yeah and it's is

39:00

not going to be that it which is fine

39:02

a big bet We talk about the all time

39:04

like you will be. There's

39:06

only room in the lead for like two of

39:08

those guys are three those guys at any given

39:10

time and so that's my thing as I thought

39:12

he's going to be one of those guys and

39:14

it's It seems that he's going to be like the

39:16

second tier one. yeah which is why I love that

39:19

you keep an honest top five that ten guys

39:21

your top process. I don't know about you but Addis

39:23

Ababa now and I guess the fact that taking him

39:25

out of it as as that I do my

39:27

my wrong like oh don't know I mean it's it's

39:29

going to say on a team as dominate everybody that

39:32

been also pick the win the championship and he's

39:34

the best player on it but it feels through to

39:36

me. Ellie For me, I look at it differently than

39:38

I did before. Disease was is. So it's also hard

39:40

because. For. Most likely they're in

39:42

a permit them at that. That's one that

39:45

can access a complex. Forty four games like

39:47

if you go toe to toe with average

39:49

in the finals is normally like but for

39:51

me. The. One am attack

39:53

in there. I. Know

39:55

that they'll be a million excuses for him. He

39:58

was hurt. He's always hurt his skin. the draw

40:00

a bead. Like they

40:02

went out sad again. He

40:04

was incredibly dirty in that

40:06

series. Like bizarrely.

40:08

Dangerously dirty the entire time. Which has

40:11

been it I'd. A

40:13

trend with him. He talked all that after

40:15

games using that they were the better team.

40:17

They're gonna win the series. He

40:20

was a permanent presumptive mvp before his injury

40:22

hub for had a little bit of Bell's

40:24

palsy. But. If you're

40:27

out there I'm in a judge your performance at

40:29

a little bit of bells. All that's how it

40:31

is reported. Bird said you've got. A

40:37

mild. It's up to retire after like

40:39

two or three. Good laugh at Aren't

40:41

Broken. Out Levy I'd say you

40:43

got a little bit of Bell's palsy. like is not

40:45

a big deal. Lox

40:47

only idea of the add value. My age

40:50

got a little bit of Bell's palsy fight

40:52

through it. I mean. You

40:54

got a little that about far as I

40:56

would that be good to throw. It does

40:58

a lot of get a belt solve it

41:01

it's show the other one of our guys

41:03

have an like. He's. On the

41:05

other side of thirty Two doesn't. Take.

41:08

The best care of his body it

41:10

seems. Basis fitness level at times and.

41:13

He just might never happen. It might

41:15

not ever happened for someone is one

41:17

of the most skilled, powerful big guys

41:19

we've seen on a team that like.

41:22

They. Were run out of excuses not

41:25

sins and different coaches and different coasts

41:27

are players. Com. At some

41:29

point is just. Not going to be. Back.

41:32

As the I think he

41:34

klaus the mid apparatus playoffs

41:36

of. Most. Likely

41:38

gonna when it's every ship at some point

41:40

ten. Most I was matter what is

41:42

it wasn't for me at least yeah he

41:44

someone like I to. I think we talked

41:46

about this like I could see him having

41:48

the second act somewhere else where he's on

41:50

a really good team where he fits any

41:53

success of like older stubbornness there are obvious

41:55

about us not to matters of honest of

41:57

like a stiffer guy who can do all

41:59

these crazy things. Wyden that might be

42:01

his maybe his destiny for wanting to win

42:03

or lose. And on a positive note, Which.

42:06

Is most likely to have earned a permanent

42:08

like check plus an improvement on their on

42:10

their legacy. The I think it's obviously Rudy

42:12

Go Bare and Tim Conway and when a

42:15

group them together because Tim Conway was a

42:17

new Gm and we all roasted him and

42:19

now he seems like. He was

42:21

right into their to the nuggets air

42:23

and vertigo bare like this whole conversation

42:25

already go bare in the reason why

42:27

and golly potteries watch him colleague arrows

42:29

divorce rate of one was you can't

42:31

when it's yeah visit with him because

42:33

he they a off the floor and

42:36

I guess him not playing and game

42:38

to and them still dominating ah hearts

42:40

them a little bit but or hurts

42:42

him a little bit but it does

42:44

feel like it's going to change the

42:46

way we talk about i'm the top

42:48

line on his ah hall aflame place

42:50

is not going. To be started cove ads

42:52

and was annoying and France it's gonna be

42:54

and be a champion in fort and even

42:56

the flair to yeah. I

42:59

love that pick. As probably right

43:01

Pec, I'm gonna pick Adam

43:03

Silver. Oh, because. Of. The

43:05

bathroom dealings after the all star game

43:07

when he changed the rules of the

43:10

end up, the more physical when he

43:12

actually. Made. Something that

43:14

was not just for. Like

43:17

the. In Germany the player he made a

43:19

much better product for the stance as much more

43:21

it's see and allowed much more diverse styles of

43:23

play to be successful in the league and defense

43:25

to be back. Like that. Takes

43:28

some stones to basically be like we need

43:30

to make the scenes now period and obvious

43:32

is. Am sure better Tv product.

43:34

They're going to admit, massive Tv deal is

43:36

more interesting than that's hard to do mid

43:39

season and he did it. Could. I

43:41
