3:11

up everybody? Welcome back to the Draymond Green

3:13

Show. This

3:16

is a kind of shitty

3:18

podcast to do. As our

3:21

season came to an end a couple days

3:23

ago I know there's a

3:25

bunch of questions about the future of the

3:27

Warriors and the trio

3:31

that is Steph, Clay, and myself and

3:33

the 12 years we've been together and

3:35

if that was the

3:37

last time we've seen that all

3:42

of those questions there's also some other stuff

3:44

around the play and that's going on that

3:46

we're going to get into that

3:49

I think is interesting but

3:51

also you know as these series are

3:53

starting to shake out we'll also talk a

3:55

couple of these series that we now know

3:57

are happening and I'll see you next time.

4:00

Also, for those of y'all out there, make

4:02

sure you go vote for

4:04

the Webby Award. Today is the last day,

4:06

so go check that out on the Twitter,

4:09

on our page, Twitter, the Volumes

4:11

4:13

for the show. We need that.

4:15

Appreciate you. But let's get into the game.

4:19

We got Pop by

4:21

the Kings, 118-94 on Tuesday,

4:24

which ended our season. I told y'all I hate

4:26

that play. They

4:29

were way more physical than us. They

4:31

shot the ball way better than us. They

4:33

dominated the game. But like,

4:36

it comes down to one game, NCAA tournament

4:38

style, and that's just it. Like, you don't

4:40

get it back. Like, you don't get another

4:42

chance. And so, I hate to play it

4:44

still. It's

4:47

still absolutely incredible. It's

4:49

great. It's like

4:52

the worst great thing of all times. But

4:55

it's been exciting. And

4:57

it didn't go well for us. My thoughts

5:00

on the game before we move forward. Steph,

5:02

22 on 8 for 16 shooting. What

5:06

that says to me is, like, their

5:09

defense was really good. Like, they

5:11

defended us really well. Because

5:14

Steph, 22 on 8 for 16 shooting

5:16

mean we just didn't find him enough

5:19

shot opportunities at 50%, 22 points. It's

5:24

a very light knife for Steph, but that's

5:26

an efficient night. And I think

5:28

he was maybe three for seven from three or

5:31

something like that. And

5:33

so, got to get our defense credit. Mike

5:35

Brown, we know is a defensive genius. Mike

5:40

got all my respect, especially when it comes to

5:42

that side of the ball. And

5:44

he had them guys ready to go. Their defensive game

5:47

plan was great. They

5:49

did a good job on

5:51

everybody. Clay was 0 for

5:53

10 from the field, 0 for 6

5:55

from 3. By the way,

5:57

from shots that we know Clay is more than

5:59

capable. of making and normally does

6:01

make, just couldn't get one to go

6:04

that night and again. One of

6:06

those nights, right? I think

6:11

Clay only didn't score a bucket

6:13

in his NBA career one other

6:15

time that he played in

6:17

the game, and that was because he got

6:19

ejected two, three minutes into the game. And

6:22

I also

6:26

got ejected that game. But

6:31

that's the only other time Clay didn't score

6:33

in the game. So in saying that, that's

6:38

the end season tournament, right? Like you

6:40

end up in that situation and one

6:43

night and the shots just don't

6:45

fall and it's over. Like

6:48

I said, their defensive game plan

6:50

was great. We explored

6:52

for 11 from the field, JK six for 15

6:55

from the field. And

6:57

they were 18 for 39 from

6:59

the three, you know, like we had a

7:01

rough shooting night. And like I said, you

7:04

got to give them some credit. They were

7:06

flying around. I remember one play that stood

7:08

out to me in particular. I

7:11

caught the ball kind of at the elbow and trace

7:13

was diving and I kind of

7:15

tried to lead them a bit to the

7:17

lob. And some bonus had just

7:20

trapped the ball screen up top with Steph

7:23

and sprinted all the way back to the rim and

7:26

broke up the lot, you know, and like they

7:29

were flying around all night. And you know,

7:31

they just got the better of us that

7:33

night. So that's what you have, you know,

7:36

when you're in this playing situation. Our

7:40

season overall as a whole, ironically

7:42

46 and 36, two

7:44

more wins than we had last year when

7:46

we were the 60 end up 10th seed,

7:49

a different West. And

7:52

you know, like I said before,

7:54

we blew some games that we should have

7:56

easily won. I can count maybe six, seven

7:58

games on my hand. my

8:01

two hands, right off the

8:03

top of my head that like we gave

8:05

away, we gave two OKC games

8:07

away. Filing at the end

8:09

of the game on threes, both of them gave

8:13

them away or we gave up the

8:15

three-two chat and then I fouled

8:17

on the three. That's two games

8:20

we absolutely gave away. We gave away

8:22

game to the Clippers. We

8:25

gave away a game to Chicago. The

8:29

list goes on and on. Joker hits an

8:31

almost half course shot against Denver in a

8:34

game we were up 17. That's

8:38

five. I

8:41

can continue on. Point is when

8:44

you have those games, you

8:47

have to close those games. The great

8:49

teams close those games and that's what

8:51

separates good and great teams. So when

8:55

you look at those things, you

9:02

ultimately get what you deserve in it, you

9:05

know, through everything

9:07

that went on this season. When

9:12

you look at those things, it's

9:14

unfortunate but that's

9:17

where we have to tighten up. We

9:20

know what it takes to

9:22

win a championship. We know what the things

9:24

that go into it. It's a process. It's

9:27

an eight-month process. It's not a

9:30

two-month process and you have to

9:32

be in that process the entire time.

9:34

You skip steps in that process, you

9:37

don't win and we didn't do a great job

9:39

of that this year. So

9:43

that's now back-to-back season getting eliminated

9:45

in tough,

9:49

tough closeout games. We're

9:53

far earlier than we expect, especially

9:56

just not being in the playoffs.

9:59

This sucks. Got

10:02

to go back to the drawing

10:04

board. Retool had great exit interviews

10:06

yesterday. Steve, Mike, you

10:09

know, looking forward to talking about what the

10:11

future of this team looks like. You can't,

10:14

you're not allowed to make the playoffs and then

10:16

think like, oh, everything's just going to stay the

10:19

same. Like that's not

10:21

a realistic thing, especially for

10:24

an organization that has experienced the success

10:26

that we've now brought to

10:28

this organization. You

10:31

can't just think like, oh, it's going to stay the same. And they're

10:33

going to just look at, I don't

10:35

expect that. When

10:38

you're in a situation like this, all things are on

10:40

the table. Like you'd be

10:42

crazy to go into it thinking like, oh,

10:45

it's not, or I'm good, or like,

10:47

nah, you're not. Like until

10:50

you are. So I am

10:52

looking forward to having

10:56

these conversations, seeing what's next, what the thoughts

10:58

are. Kind of had a few thoughts

11:01

yesterday, but

11:04

kind of just on this tight 20 minute schedule where

11:07

everybody's kind of getting through their exit interviews. So looking

11:09

forward to having those conversations. What

11:11

does that mean for the big three, the trio, all

11:15

the names I've seen? I

11:21

wish I had an answer for you, but what I do know is there's

11:23

not one person in this room and there's

11:25

not one person in this organization that does

11:28

not want Clay Thompson back here. Because

11:30

I don't think there's one person around here

11:32

that don't think we can't win again. Now,

11:34

again, do you have to retool? Do you

11:36

have to figure some things out? Do you

11:38

need young guys to take steps? Yes, all

11:40

of these things has to

11:42

happen in organizations for them to continue to

11:44

be successful. So

11:47

yes, there are some tweaks that need to

11:49

be made. Me personally, I

11:51

don't think there's an overhaul that need to be made.

11:54

I think there are tweaks that needs

11:56

to be made. And if we can successfully

11:59

make those tweaks. tweaks, I

12:02

think we put ourselves right back in

12:04

the conversation. Clay

12:09

will ultimately have to make a decision

12:12

and he'll go into free agency.

12:14

He'll see, I'm sure I know

12:17

how this business goes. He'll see what's out there.

12:19

He'll continue to talk to the warriors. There

12:22

will be negotiations that needs to be had. One

12:26

thing I will say that I learned last year and

12:29

I had never been through in my career, free

12:32

agency is not a fun place. Free

12:35

agency kind of sucks. There

12:38

are a couple of people every now and

12:40

then where free agency could be fun, but

12:42

like the reality is, is free agency is

12:44

like uncertainty. And

12:48

if there's anything all of us hate in

12:50

life is uncertainty. You're

12:54

always looking for certainty. And whatever it is

12:56

that you do, free agency is

12:58

like an uncertain place. You think your market

13:00

is this, you think your market is that.

13:04

That person over there thinks your market is this. Ultimately

13:06

it boils down to what is someone willing to offer

13:09

you. I

13:12

can think my market is whatever I wanted

13:14

to think it is, but

13:17

until I get to the free agency table and

13:19

the offer star rolling, you don't know what your

13:21

market is. So

13:23

I myself absolutely hated free

13:25

agency. It

13:28

sucks because you

13:32

sit there and you go on about

13:34

your life not knowing really what's next.

13:37

And that's no fun place to be. And

13:40

you're at the mercy of someone

13:42

else seeing a value of something

13:44

and putting a dollar

13:46

amount on it.

13:49

And then you figuring out what you think that dollar

13:51

amount is and trying to somehow

13:53

make it work and in the process, feelings get

13:55

hurt. Relationships are

13:57

broken. It's

14:02

just the nature of it. It's really the shitty

14:05

part of the business. So Clay

14:09

will go into a free agency and

14:11

he will look around the market, I'm

14:14

sure, because that's how you do these

14:16

things in any negotiation. That is with

14:18

negotiating for toilet paper

14:21

and that's when negotiating for food,

14:24

whatever it is, that's

14:27

just how you go about it. So he'll do that. And

14:31

I ultimately hope that

14:36

he's back here, that we all can

14:38

close this thing out together the

14:40

way we've done it, continue

14:43

to chase after the things

14:46

that we know are out

14:48

there for us, which is winning championships, continuing

14:51

to bring more success to a franchise

14:54

than anyone could ever imagine. Besides

14:56

Joe, Joe, definitely imagine, but nobody

14:59

else imagine. That

15:02

is the goal. You don't have the opportunity

15:04

to finish with the guys

15:06

you started with often. And we have that opportunity.

15:09

But like I said, ultimately, I know when

15:13

we started this journey, Clay

15:15

was 21. Clay

15:18

is 34. Life

15:21

looks totally different at 34 than it did at 21.

15:25

So I ultimately know

15:27

he has to make decisions for

15:31

himself, for his life. And

15:33

if there's one thing I hate is when

15:36

guys decide a free agency, they're

15:38

going to go somewhere else. And

15:40

then guys be mad. They left him. Like,

15:43

oh, you left me. I'm upset at you. We're

15:46

beefing now for the media. It ain't never going to

15:48

be that. Because I don't understand

15:50

that. They make a personal decision

15:52

for themselves, for their family, for

15:54

their career. And then people get mad

15:57

and be like, oh, I'm mad at like, oh, f

15:59

him. Like that's whack to me. And

16:02

so I

16:04

personally want Clay

16:06

to come back. We

16:09

all do. But

16:11

if Clay ultimately decides that he wants

16:14

something else for himself, for his life,

16:17

got my utmost love and support,

16:20

because what we've done together can

16:23

never be taken away, the

16:25

brotherhood that we've built will

16:28

not change at all. But

16:31

we do want to finish. But I

16:33

don't understand that corny stuff when guys

16:35

like, oh man, I'm like, ah, in

16:38

media beef and this stuff, we don't do that over here. Travis

16:40

told me after we lost, he said, yo, you're

16:43

going to go through like some

16:45

crazy emotions. Like,

16:48

you're going to go through like high,

16:51

low, like, oh, I'm done. I

16:53

get to spend time with my family. Like, wait, I'm

16:55

supposed to be playing basketball at this time. You're

16:59

going to experience all these. And when he said it,

17:01

it was right after the game. And I was just

17:03

like, no, like, I

17:05

didn't say it back to him, but I was just thinking

17:07

to myself, like, you're talking about, like,

17:09

all right. And

17:12

like the emotional roller coaster I've been on

17:14

the last two days is crazy. Like,

17:18

I'm here. I'm there. I'm like, oh, I'm playing

17:20

this thing. I get to go to this thing.

17:23

I shouldn't be going to that thing. Like, what?

17:28

I've been all over the place. So how

17:32

I feel about like, I

17:34

don't know how I feel about being done this early. Never

17:36

been done this early. It's

17:42

crazy. Like, I can't. I don't

17:46

know, man. It's the range

17:48

of emotions right now is

17:50

crazy. And I am not

17:53

enjoying this at all. Playoff basketball is the most

17:55

fun time of year. It's what I look forward

17:57

to the most and to not have that experience.

18:02

already has me thinking personally for myself next

18:04

year, like you coming in way

18:06

better as a player, you're coming in the best

18:08

shape of your life, you're doing like, it's

18:12

crazy, I don't know what to

18:15

feel, how to feel about this.

18:18

Like when you win and you experience

18:20

those pinnacles, to

18:23

then try to come back from that, like I mean,

18:25

you like end up doing this,

18:29

after knowing those feelings and what that feel like

18:31

and how that competition goes, and I

18:34

mean, it's the playoffs, that's what everybody watch, it's

18:38

crazy thing, crazy,

18:40

I don't know, I can't

18:42

figure the emotions of it out. Man, the

18:44

things that we accomplished together for

18:49

NBA titles, I could have never imagined winning

18:51

the NBA title coming into the NBA, it's

18:55

a crazy story, man,

18:58

love is due to death, brother of

19:00

mine, but it's a moment, like you

19:03

have moments in your life that you'll

19:05

never forget, and this was a

19:07

moment in my life that I'll never

19:09

forget. I've

19:14

never been a loser in my life, I've

19:16

won at every level of basketball, so to

19:18

think that I'm coming to

19:20

an organization that like lose, lose, lose,

19:22

it's like, to me I'm like,

19:24

oh no, we gonna win, like I was that dumb

19:26

to believe, like, no, we gonna win, like,

19:31

won 23 games a year before I, but we gonna win,

19:33

like I was that naive, like I had never lost in

19:35

my life. I

19:39

got drafted to the Golden State Warriors

19:42

and, Lamar

19:47

Woodley, who is one of

19:50

my OGs, big brother of

19:52

mine from Saginaw, Michigan, Pittsburgh's still our

19:54

legend Super Bowl champion, he

19:58

always had a camp. year back

20:00

in Saginaw in the summer and

20:03

Marshawn Lynch always came

20:05

to the camp. Marshawn loves Saginaw,

20:07

I'm sure it reminds him of

20:09

Oakland, but I

20:12

got nothing but love for Marshawn, big

20:15

brother of mine, but I'll never

20:17

forget this moment. Lamar

20:23

was like, we were standing in the parking

20:25

lot of Stardust lanes in Saginaw, Lamar was

20:27

like, yo, he just got drafted to the

20:29

Warriors, like he gonna be in Oakland. And

20:33

Marshawn was like, ha ha ha, y'all suck,

20:35

like the Warriors don't never win, like y'all

20:38

suck. And I

20:40

was like, yeah, that's gonna change, like that, like

20:42

we suck, like me suck, like nah, that's changing,

20:45

like I don't ever suck, that's

20:47

gonna change. And

20:49

to like, like I'll never

20:51

forget that. And that

20:53

story is less about Marshawn, but just

20:55

more about what the Warriors were. And

20:58

so to come out of college and like get

21:00

drafted to that organization, and

21:03

to think 12 years later, one of

21:06

four titles with the same guys, six

21:09

finals appearances with the same guys,

21:12

won 73 games with the same

21:14

guys. Hardly

21:18

ever lost, we lost three playoff

21:20

series fully healthy in

21:23

11 years. That's crazy,

21:27

like to

21:30

accomplish that, like the

21:34

common, the common thought of

21:36

this organization was what Marshawn said,

21:38

the laughingstock at NBA, for sure.

21:42

For sure, a laughingstock at NBA.

21:46

And to think that we've done all of

21:48

this together, changed

21:53

the way basketball is played together,

21:58

changed the way champions are viewed

22:01

these days. You

22:04

got guys in the NBA talking about

22:06

winning championships. Like that was never the

22:08

thing. I've

22:10

seen guys like have career nights and like after the

22:12

career night, like yeah, but we need to win a

22:15

championship. Bro, that's a

22:17

career night in the regular season. Like that

22:19

was never the conversation. But

22:22

because of what we've accomplished and

22:25

made it look like it's supposed to be done

22:27

that way and made it look so easy, everybody

22:29

think like, oh, now you just gonna win a

22:31

championship. And then players get like

22:34

devalued because they don't win a championship

22:36

because that's the standard. But the reality

22:38

is like, we

22:41

did it on a level as good as anybody that's

22:43

ever done it. And by the way, to

22:46

Steph's point, which I love these moments because

22:48

they never seem to not come true. Right

22:51

after the game in the Kings locker room,

22:53

I said, I love you, bro. It's like,

22:55

up, I'm John Wall. And I'm CJ Toledano. and

24:00

we're starting a new podcast presented by Draft

24:02

Kings called Point Game. Everyone

24:04

please welcome Coach John Calipari. We're getting

24:06

beat by 18. My first

24:08

game in Kentucky, they're saying, Cal, I'm

24:11

blessed to kick, Coach. This is

24:13

crazy. John Waugh runs down the floor

24:15

and makes a buzzer beater. You

24:17

remember that, John? My first game winner ever made. Remember, you

24:19

said you never see me do that. Ladies

24:22

and gentlemen, DeMarcus Boogie-Cousins. I called Boogie, I'm like,

24:24

yeah, boy, I'm about to commit to Duke. And I

24:26

hung up on it. Bro,

24:28

I'm talking about, do you want to tell me how many

24:30

times he called me, all type of names, bro, you

24:32

really selling me out, you doing this? Bro,

24:37

I was sick. I remember that like yesterday,

24:39

man. Love you, John

24:41

Waugh. Thanks, Coach, love you too. You made

24:43

me everything I am today. Nah, you made

24:45

me, you made me. I love it. Check

24:47

out Point Game with John Waugh and CJ

24:49

Toledano on the I Heart Radio app, Draft

24:51

Kings YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

24:54

It wasn't even supposed to be my game. I got it.

25:01

You right. Got

25:03

it. Noted. Cool, we ain't. You right. So,

25:09

to think that, like

25:11

we've done these things, I

25:14

love it. And we not done. So

25:16

that's that. That's the end of the Dove season.

25:18

That's a wrap. I

25:21

am extremely grateful to finish year 12 of

25:23

my career, year 12 healthy.

25:25

I got so much gratitude. Like

25:28

I told you, emotions are all over the place. But

25:30

I can look at that and be like, man, second

25:33

round pick from Saginaw, Michigan, Michigan

25:35

State University, in drives to

25:37

the Golden State Warriors and being labeled a tweener,

25:40

which was a death sentence when I was coming out

25:43

in the draft, second round

25:45

pick, although I was national player of the year. I

25:50

just finished year 12 in the NBA. I

25:53

got gray hairs now. I

25:56

was just looking in the mirror. I got more gray hairs

25:58

coming in up top. about to

26:00

be full of salt and pepper, but

26:02

I'm still in the NBA and I just finished

26:04

year 12. So I got such gratitude for that.

26:06

So that's that. Let's talk about these play-in games,

26:09

man. We know the Kings now got the Pelicans

26:11

without a Zion Williamson who had 40 and 11

26:14

when he got hurt first at Lakers, having

26:16

one of the best games of his young

26:18

career and in

26:20

the game that mattered. And I know everybody remember

26:23

the chatter around

26:25

him when they played in the play-in. You

26:29

had, he's too fat,

26:31

out of shape, waste

26:35

of talent, like, you

26:37

know, he got destroyed in that play-in

26:39

versus the Lakers, like embarrassed. And

26:42

since then, there's been a different Zion. And

26:46

he showed that that night. And

26:48

he had his team right there in

26:51

one or two possession game and

26:53

he had to lead the game. And it's unfortunate. And

26:57

because he's, you can see

26:59

the growth. And now you

27:01

got the Kings that go take on the New

27:03

Orleans Pelicans. When

27:07

I was Zion, I

27:09

think the Kings should win that pretty

27:12

easily. No game at

27:14

that magnitude is ever easy. Like the

27:17

Kings beat us pretty

27:19

easily. I'm sure they didn't feel like it

27:21

was that easy, like it's max effort. So

27:24

take what I said with a grain of salt, but

27:27

I think the Kings go in, they have the

27:29

experience. You know, they came on the road here

27:31

last year during the playoffs and won a game.

27:33

Like they have the experience. I think

27:35

they go and win that game. Their

27:38

defense is flying around the way they were flying

27:40

around against us. No

27:43

Zion. That's

27:45

Zion's 24 points or whatever he average on the

27:47

floor, but that's like 50 to 55 points

27:49

with his impact and people shrinking and them getting

27:52

threes and pressure. He puts on a

27:54

rim and the defense collapse. He gets a swing,

27:56

swing, night. That's a

27:58

huge loss, huge loss. they're not

28:00

going to be able to overcome that in my

28:02

opinion. So that's what

28:04

we're looking forward to in the West play in.

28:06

And on the other side in the play in,

28:09

we know the Sixers beat the Heat last night.

28:11

We do know Jimmy Butler end up hurt at

28:13

the game. I think he hurt his knee earlier

28:16

in the game, kind of played through it and

28:18

then couldn't go anymore. We

28:20

now know that Jimmy Butler has an

28:22

MCL spring and will be out several

28:25

weeks. Marketed probably

28:27

the end of the Miami

28:29

Heat season. Now, I

28:31

say that not saying that they

28:33

can't necessarily win their next playing game,

28:35

but more so even if they

28:37

do, they face the Boston Celtics and we'll

28:42

get into that because I got something to

28:44

say about that, that y'all probably going to get mad

28:46

at. So let's say that for a little bit. But

28:50

Joel and B last night made

28:53

every play down the stretch

28:55

defensively and offensively. Offensive

28:58

rebound, put back and one,

29:01

dropped to Kelly Oubre and one,

29:05

two big threes down the stretch, walking

29:07

into him, taking the lead. Joel,

29:09

who had not had a great game,

29:12

actually had a pretty tough game, so

29:14

much so that on the

29:17

broadcast, they kept just talking about how hurt he

29:19

was. Like, number one, let's stop doing that. He's

29:21

out there. He's playing like we

29:25

get it. Coming back from the injury is definitely

29:27

tough. You need that ramp up. But

29:30

like Joel is

29:32

great. And he showed that down the

29:35

stretch, regardless of how I may feel,

29:37

regardless of what the circumstances are, I'm going

29:40

to make every play down the stretch that

29:42

my team need because as

29:45

Paul Rees said, we

29:48

ain't ducking nobody, but

29:50

we wanted the New York Knicks. We think that's the easier

29:53

team to be. Paul

29:56

Rees said it, I ain't say it, but the reality

29:58

is we know the reality. The New York Knicks

30:01

are way easier to beat than the

30:03

Boston Celtics. In fact, I

30:06

got the Philadelphia 76ers beating the

30:08

New York Knicks because we're

30:10

going to stop Joel. And like Joel took over

30:12

every play down the stretch versus the Miami Heat.

30:17

The Miami Heat, in which we know probably

30:23

will beat the Knicks too. But

30:26

that's neither here nor there. Philadelphia

30:31

76ers will

30:34

now take on the New York Knicks and

30:36

I got Philly for sure. Nobody's

30:38

stopping Joel. Maxie

30:41

and Jaylen Brunson are going to cancel each other

30:43

out. Like they're both going

30:45

to have great seasons. I mean, great series, but

30:48

they're going to cancel each other out.

30:50

And New York is not... Not

30:53

only do they not have Joel and B, but

30:56

they're also missing Julius Randall. And you

30:58

know, you can

31:00

win regular season games missing Julius Randall. That's

31:03

all fine and dandy. When

31:07

you're playing every other night, scouting reports

31:09

aren't that great. Guys getting off,

31:11

getting to their strong hands because scouting reports

31:13

ain't that great. And you're

31:15

kind of just going game to game. This is

31:17

a playoff series now. And you

31:20

are missing an All-Star. And that will

31:22

now show. Because guys that may have

31:24

been getting off, it's going to be a lot harder for

31:26

them to get off. When the scouting

31:28

report is, I'm playing you for seven games and

31:30

we taking these things away. And

31:34

so for me personally, that's why

31:36

I got the Philadelphia

31:38

76ers winning easily. I

31:41

mean, not easily, but I thought it was very interesting

31:43

that Paul Reed came out and say that. Because

31:46

it's exactly what everybody thought. They did not want

31:48

to see Boston in the first round.

31:50

They don't want to see Boston in the second round. They

31:53

want to meet with Boston in the conference finals and

31:56

then swing for the fences if that's possible.

32:00

They avoided that and now you got

32:02

the Bulls and you got the Miami

32:04

Heat without Jimmy Butler. If

32:07

there's any team that can go beat

32:09

somebody without their star player, it is

32:11

the Miami Heat. That is for sure.

32:13

They always got guys that's just going to

32:15

get off, play hard, well

32:17

coached, scouting report going to

32:20

be great and do all of those

32:22

things. So the Miami Heat

32:24

can compete. We

32:27

know they sometimes take this for motivation so

32:29

I'm going to say it here and say

32:31

it here first. I got to Chicago Bulls

32:33

because DeMar DeRozan is going to make every

32:35

play that he needs to make to win

32:37

the game. DeMar will walk the ball up

32:39

the court and get every shot that he

32:42

wants them to get in this

32:46

game. Remember, it's one game, it's not a

32:48

series. He going to walk

32:50

the ball up, get every shot. Kobe

32:52

White, man, Kobe White was incredible last

32:54

night, 42 points, 6-7 assists,

32:57

something like that, 5-6 rebounds.

32:59

Kobe White was incredible. I

33:03

don't see that changing. Yes,

33:05

the defense will be tougher. I

33:08

do think that. The defense will definitely be tougher

33:10

versus the Miami Heat for Kobe White than it

33:12

was. And the rim

33:14

protection will be much different

33:16

than it was for Kobe White yesterday.

33:21

The rim protection, like bam,

33:23

out of value is elite rim

33:25

protection. So I don't see Kobe getting

33:27

to the cup like he did last

33:29

night as often, as

33:31

frequently, but Kobe

33:34

also didn't shoot the three well last night. And

33:37

we know he's capable of doing that. So that could

33:39

be activated as well. But

33:41

I got the Bulls taking this. You need your

33:44

stars, you need your top dogs to play well

33:46

in these moments and I think it's going to

33:48

be tough without Jimmy. They

33:50

really need Jimmy out there. The

33:52

X Factor, watch out for Hame Haakas.

33:55

Every time Jimmy Butler did not play

33:57

this year, Hame went off. So

34:01

watch out for him. It's a different stage

34:03

right now. When to go home, he's used

34:05

to that NCAA tournament field though. That's my

34:07

X factor for the game. If Hame can

34:09

get off, he can get him a chance,

34:12

but I got the Bulls. And

34:15

then I hollered my

34:17

dog, DeMario, come on over here with me

34:19

in about a week. Uh, when,

34:21

when, when, when he get ahold of them

34:23

Celtics, but what I was going to

34:25

say that I know nobody wants to hear. The

34:29

Celtics just dodged a bullet with Jimmy getting hurt

34:31

because if Jimmy don't get hurt, they

34:34

beat the Chicago Bulls. No problem.

34:37

And the

34:39

Boston South, the Miami, he has been a

34:41

problem for the Boston Celtics. So

34:43

Jackson got this huge smile on his

34:45

face right now because he know, yeah,

34:49

the Celtics are good. Yeah. They got a

34:51

really good team and arguably

34:54

the best team, best chance to win a championship.

34:56

I agree with all of that, but all

34:59

I'm saying is with

35:01

the, with Jimmy Butler, the

35:03

Celtics is out of tough time and

35:06

no one wants to see anybody get

35:08

hurt. That's never, I mean, I don't

35:11

know about Boston fans. They different,

35:13

but you can shake your head

35:15

Jackson, but you ain't grow up

35:17

in Boston, Massachusetts. Them Boston fans

35:19

in Boston, they are different

35:22

and I don't know what they think. I'm

35:25

not just going to throw something out there on

35:27

them. Maybe I will because who cares? But

35:32

Jimmy Butler getting hurt. That,

35:38

that, that was sent from heaven. Y'all

35:41

make sure y'all take that. Receive

35:43

the blessing. Cause that was

35:45

a guy saying for the Boston Celtics. The

35:49

last thing Boston wanted to do

35:51

was win 60 plus games and

35:54

meet Jimmy Butler in the Miami heat in

35:56

the first round of the playoffs. Number

35:58

one, the heart attack. have had just by

36:01

that happening like that'll tense you up a

36:03

little bit like that ah like we

36:05

got them

36:07

again that's too much like

36:09

right so Boston

36:13

y'all take that that gift that

36:16

was sent from heaven above y'all

36:18

make sure y'all take advantage of that because

36:22

man I would have loved to

36:24

see that series is unfortunate uh

36:26

but however I am wishing Jimmy well

36:28

uh you know MCLs could be tough

36:30

hope it's just that uh he can

36:32

get back sooner rather than later regardless

36:35

of this season you live that every

36:37

day uh so wishing

36:39

Jimmy well that's a wrap from this episode

36:41

of the Draymond Green show we got some

36:43

playoff stuff coming y'all way I got nothing

36:45

else to do so why not break these

36:47

games down for y'all let y'all help help

36:50
