What's up, everybody? Welcome back to The Draymond

0:53

Show. If you didn't catch it, we recorded

0:55

an emergency episode yesterday

0:59

to talk about the lager into ejection.

1:01

I'd recommend going back

1:03

and listening to that because

1:06

I gave my four thoughts on it, what

1:08

I thought would happen or should

1:11

happen, And yeah, I

1:13

thought it would. You know, I think it's pretty good for you to

1:15

check out. But now here we are one day

1:17

later, same place, different times,

1:20

but we're gonna we will talk about

1:22

that again. But more importantly, I will go

1:24

in depth on the Warriors and Grizzlies

1:27

game. One, and we'll also talk about the Game one

1:29

between Boston and Milwaukee, and then I'll

1:31

give you my thoughts leading into the

1:33

Sun's Mavericks and Heat six or series

1:35

and how and throws series of playout. We got some injuries

1:38

and both of those other series that

1:41

really can sway the series one way or the other.

1:43

We're dealing with injury ourselves,

1:45

UM, with Andre obviously,

1:48

James Wiseman has been out all year, and then

1:50

Steven Adams, who has been in COVID protocol,

1:53

who may possibly be back

1:55

tomorrow. I'm not sure if he

1:57

will or not. But you know, everybody's

1:59

been dealing with it, um, and you

2:02

know that's a part of it. But we'll talk about

2:04

all of that. Number one, let's get

2:06

right into it. NBA does

2:09

not resend the flavor to

2:11

They don't downgrade it. No surprise

2:14

there, Um I said yesterday.

2:17

If you're looking for an idiot, look

2:19

no further than Draymond Green. That

2:21

statement rings true again. As I

2:23

said yesterday, I'm looking forward

2:26

to them resending it um, and

2:28

they didn't. They didn't have a good explanation. Uh,

2:30

you know, they never have a

2:33

good explanation. Sometimes they don't even give

2:35

it an explanation. So, uh,

2:37

the explanation to me wasn't good. They

2:39

didn't really want to explain it to me. They told

2:41

Bob to tell me. Um.

2:44

So you know when

2:46

I look back on my

2:49

suspension and from game five of the

2:52

NBA Finals. So the way this works

2:54

for those who don't understand, is in

2:57

the playoffs, whether you which is really

3:00

ridiculous by the way, but in the playoffs,

3:02

whether you are in the first

3:04

round and lose or you go to

3:06

the NBA Finals, you get the same amount

3:09

of text you get the same amount of flaging file

3:11

points, you get the same amount

3:13

of everything. It's one of those old, outdated

3:16

UM rules that doesn't make any

3:18

sense, and no

3:21

one takes the time to change them because

3:23

why and the reality

3:26

is is that one I'd

3:30

love for someone to explain to me how

3:35

someone could lose and game or

3:38

in round one and another

3:41

team can go on a possible three more

3:43

rounds and they still have

3:45

the same number of texts they're allowed

3:48

to get her the same number of flaging file points.

3:50

But how it does work is you get seven technical

3:52

files before suspension in the

3:54

playoffs. That's the entire playoffs, that's

3:57

not per series and you get

3:59

four flag of file points. Now,

4:01

how the flagror file points work for those

4:03

that don't understand, is if you get a

4:05

flagrant one, that is one point. If

4:07

you get a flagrant two that

4:10

is two points. If you get flooral

4:12

four points total, you

4:14

get a one game suspension. Which

4:17

is how I got suspended from

4:19

game five. I have four points total

4:23

and I was suspended for a game. I

4:25

also received a file after the

4:27

fact. My flagrant file was

4:30

given to me after the fact, and

4:33

I tried to hit him and missed when when

4:35

when Lebron stepped over me, I received

4:37

the file. The funny thing is, you know, the

4:39

funny thing about it to me is three

4:43

of my flagrant file points

4:47

that I received two to eventually

4:50

end up missing Game five. The

4:53

NBA went back and reviewed them. They

4:55

went back to the tape after the game

4:57

reviewed it an upgraded me

5:00

too. Flagrant files upgraded.

5:06

They don't quite go back and anyone

5:08

else to flagrant files. Um,

5:10

that's not really a

5:13

thing. Uh, you know we've seen plays

5:15

this, playoffs that could have possibly

5:17

been upgraded, upgraded to flaging

5:19

files. You may have seen me say

5:22

in the Denver series when Bones Highland

5:24

need auto porter I got suspended

5:26

from a game for that. They added a rule

5:29

after I was suspended

5:31

that year for needs to the

5:33

growing and

5:37

the flagrant one. As

5:40

you see, auto Porter did not receive a flavor

5:43

one that rule. It's

5:46

essentially the Draymond Green rules. So they may

5:48

as well add this one too and say no one

5:50

else gets upgraded, and that is the Draymond

5:52

rule. And that's fine. Again,

5:55

it's a badge of honor. I don't I don't

5:57

run from it. It is what it is. Um,

6:00

your thoughts are your thoughts. I really don't

6:02

care. They asked me today, they said, are you going to

6:04

you know, now that you have two file points, are

6:06

you going to tone down the bike? No?

6:10

No, I'm gonna be me because

6:12

if if I toned down

6:14

who I am A, you probably

6:17

never would have known

6:19

who I am

6:22

B. I wouldn't have had the

6:24

success that I've had and see

6:26

him most importantly, I, even if

6:29

I made it to them B, I wouldn't still be sitting

6:31

here today. So why would I tone

6:33

that down? Why would I stop being me? I

6:35

can be me better than I can be anyone else

6:38

in this world, and I can also be me

6:40

better than anyone else can be so

6:42

if I do that best, why do anything

6:44

else that does not make sense to me? I don't

6:46

understand when people do a job

6:49

or do a thing and they say, oh, I need to do it

6:51

this way. That's not organic to you. And if

6:53

it's not organic to you, you can only take that

6:55

so far, Like you

6:57

can only act for so long

7:00

on you can only be someone

7:02

else for so long, And

7:05

and being somebody else is

7:08

that even fun? I don't know. I I

7:11

I can't give you an answer to that, because I'm

7:13

only me. I'm only gonna be me,

7:16

good, battering different, like it or not.

7:19

I'm just gonna be me, and that's worked for

7:22

me way better

7:24

than me trying to be somebody else. I remember

7:26

coming into the NBA my rookie year and

7:29

I was playing a three position and I was

7:31

kind of just spotting up and shooting. Now, I'm like,

7:34

I'm not a spot up shooter. I can make a shot,

7:36

but I'm not a spot up shooter. And at

7:38

that moment, after my rookie you, I said, listen,

7:40

I just gotta do this my way. And

7:43

if I fell doing it my way, I

7:45

can go home and say I gave it everything

7:48

that I had and because I gave

7:50

it everything that I had. I

7:52

can live with the result. But if I

7:54

go out like I played this year,

7:56

my rookie year, trying

8:00

to still play this type of basketball, and

8:04

I don't make it, I'm not gonna

8:06

be able to live with myself because I didn't

8:08

do me. And at that point,

8:10

I told myself, no matter what the situation

8:13

is, I'm gonna always be true,

8:15

state, true to who I ever be me. You

8:17

see, like guys go

8:19

into media after playing

8:22

and all of a sudden turned into cowards like

8:25

and rats supposed to be tough guys

8:27

and turn into rats like. I

8:31

can't be that guys. It just won't work

8:33

for me. Is I don't carry the amount

8:35

of money you offer. I don't care

8:38

the amount of um

8:40

appearances you offer. I

8:43

just I can't be that guy. I have to

8:45

be me, which was one of the reasons I

8:47

end up signing the Turner because they allowed

8:49

me to be me. They want me to be

8:52

me, and that's the only way I can do

8:54

the job is if I'm allowed to be

8:56

Draymond Green. And so in saying

8:58

that for me to oh, I'm gonn tone it

9:00

back, like tone what back? I didn't

9:02

think that was a flagrant Tusor's not much

9:04

to turn tone back there. So

9:08

again, if I'm supposed to take

9:10

an even softer file in the middle

9:12

of the playoffs, then I'll probably just

9:14

end up suspended. And do I

9:16

want to end up suspended from a game. No, But

9:18

I'm also not trying to give up an end one

9:21

because those points matter. One

9:23

point one point game last night. Everybody

9:25

always look at basketball and say,

9:30

man, did you see John Murant

9:32

ms to lay up? That's

9:35

when they lost again and lose the game on

9:37

that lay up. One point is one point, whether

9:39

it scored then or the score in the first quarter,

9:41

that one point still matters to the end entirely

9:44

of the game, the ending totally, the final

9:47

score. That one point matters.

9:49

Everybody gets it all misconstrued

9:52

and say, oh man, such

9:54

such made display down the stretch and that's why they

9:56

lost. That play may

9:58

have changed something in that instant,

10:01

but you better believe there was a play in the second

10:03

quarter that that played

10:06

a role in that team losing. And this is not

10:08

just the Mentalis Crazzi. This is basketball

10:11

or sports as a whole that

10:14

plays a role in it as well. Play

10:16

in the second quarter may have totally changed the

10:19

momentum, and that once swing could have cost

10:21

you the game. And when you learn to

10:23

watch film like that, when you learn to watch

10:25

sports like that, in particular, I'm speaking of basketball.

10:28

Now you learn how to watch like

10:30

a coach. Now you learn

10:32

how to watch like someone who can

10:34

really throw it thoroughly. Evaluate

10:37

again. And so for me, I'm

10:40

not trying to give up an N one. And if I need to

10:42

take a file softer than I did and try to hold

10:44

the guy off from from falling

10:46

to the floor, then I'm sorry,

10:48

but I don't I don't know what

10:51

to tell you. What I would ask for is you

10:54

know, there's this seems to be a

10:56

common thing excessive. What's

10:58

excessive? Like Damian Lillard to what

11:00

actually is excessive? Because

11:05

we're all human beings, and my definition

11:08

of excessive in your definition of excessive,

11:11

is to make the two totally different

11:13

things, and if they are too totally

11:16

different things, which most likely they are, because

11:18

we're too totally different people with two totally

11:21

different feelings, two totally different

11:23

views on things. And so if

11:25

your view, which it probably is, of

11:28

something excessive is different than my view,

11:30

and it just becomes oh

11:32

well, I

11:35

think that was excessive, and so now

11:39

it's it's just based on a person's

11:41

opinion. You know, when you look at

11:43

the replay system. Um,

11:46

the fans, well before I talked

11:48

about the replay system, and we'll roll into that,

11:50

the fans start chanting, throw

11:52

him out, throw him out. Like

11:57

I said yesterday, officials are

11:59

human, mean being, so

12:03

they want they want

12:06

to feel gratification from

12:09

people as well, because they

12:11

are human beings. They're not robots.

12:13

They're actual people who like actually

12:16

go home still their family, to

12:18

their kids, to their significant

12:20

others. Those

12:22

are real people with real feelings. If

12:25

I hear a crowd going crazy saying

12:27

throw him out, I don't want to be boomed.

12:29

I don't mind being booed, but most

12:31

people mind being booed. I actually love the boots.

12:34

I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I know I'm getting a bunch

12:36

of them that's going to fantastic.

12:39

Um. I really

12:41

feed off the boots. I love the boots, but

12:43

most people don't. Most people hate being

12:45

booed because most people thrive

12:48

off of gratification,

12:50

and not self gratification. They

12:53

thrive off of other people pumping

12:55

them up, other people cheering. For the most

12:58

people thrive off of that, and

13:00

so because

13:02

of that, you you you review these

13:04

plays in ce Caucus, New Jersey, the

13:06

NBA replace it. Why

13:09

doesn't the decision come from there, someone who's

13:12

not in the emotion of a game, someone who's

13:14

watching them play and saying, I

13:16

thought this happened. I am

13:19

not the ones that got to get booed by the

13:21

crowd if I make this call, blah

13:23

blah blah. Why doesn't the decision

13:25

come from there? Because the

13:27

decision coming from someone who I could have just

13:29

said something to and piste

13:32

off about a call, and now they need

13:34

to make a decision like that. Again, you can't

13:36

tell me that the human element

13:38

does not play a role in that. I am a human

13:40

being too. I know how things can

13:42

sway me one way or the other. And

13:45

so why

13:47

isn't the emotions

13:50

of the game taken out? Do you think an official

13:52

comes in the game and does not have emotionals?

13:55

Of course, of course

13:57

they have emotions. The way to take

14:00

the emotions out of the game is that car comes from

14:02

Caucus. Someone who's not in

14:05

let let alone in the building, or or on the

14:07

court, someone who's not even in the same

14:10

city, let alone, state there's no city

14:13

NBA team in New jerseymore not

14:15

even in the same state. That's one

14:17

way of guys

14:20

really appreciating the integrity

14:22

of the game. That's one

14:24

way, uh totally

14:27

removing the emotion that a rougher remay

14:29

feel during a particular

14:32

game. And so you know, um,

14:36

it is what it is. They're not

14:39

going to reduce it. Can I say I'm

14:41

surprised, of course not. This is me

14:43

you're talking about. And like I said,

14:45

I wear that badge of honor. So whatever.

14:48

Moving on to the actual game, which

14:50

I thought was a very good game.

14:53

Um. I thought in

14:56

the first quarter and starting the game,

14:59

we did okay with our

15:01

game play, but not great. We didn't take the

15:03

offensive rebounds away. They got plenty second

15:05

chance opportunities, and

15:08

that gave them momentum. They really

15:10

feed off that. They get guys going off

15:12

of that, and so to

15:15

start the game, I thought we needed

15:17

to play a little tougher and we need to rebound better.

15:20

As the game went on, especially as we got

15:22

into that second quarter and got our foot in it

15:24

and you know, started to figure it out, we

15:27

really started to rebound the ball better. And as

15:29

you can see, I think Jordan pool ended with nine

15:31

rebounds, eight or nine rebounds. That's

15:33

big time. Jonathan Comingo come

15:35

off the bench and in limited minutes six

15:38

rebounds, that's big time,

15:40

you know, And the list goes on and on. But

15:45

that team are

15:47

our coaches staff told us they said the

15:50

game starts when

15:52

we shoot the ball and when they shoot the ball, and

15:55

pretty much what they were saying, it's just like when

15:57

when we shoot the ball, they're they're

16:00

coming. I mean, you got job around was probably the fastest

16:02

guy in the NBA. They're looking for him.

16:05

He's getting the ball and he's coming full speed

16:07

and everybody else is running with him and also trailing

16:10

him for three So when you say the game starts when

16:12

they shoot and we shoot, that's how it starts.

16:14

When they shoot, when we shoot.

16:16

When they shoot, it starts because they

16:18

crashed the office and rebound like

16:22

not many teams that I've seen in the n b

16:24

A. And that's a huge part of the offense

16:26

generating chance points. And so

16:30

I feel like and going

16:32

into the game, it's hard to tell

16:35

someone that and get you to understand it because

16:37

you can't really simulate that. And so I

16:40

once you know, it took us about a quarter

16:42

to figure out, and once we figured it out, I

16:44

think we rebounded the ball really well because

16:46

guys understood that it has

16:48

it's a five guy job. It's not a one guy

16:50

job, it's not two guys job. It's a five

16:52

man job, and everyone has to come

16:55

back in the rebound. I think we did a great job of

16:57

that, which ultimately prepared

16:59

us and you know, allowed us to

17:01

be in a position to win that game, and

17:04

that was really huge for us. I thought

17:06

Jordan's Pool, the way

17:08

he came off the bench and played, especially with

17:11

Clay Thompson getting in foul trouble right away,

17:13

he looks just like Jordan Pool from games

17:16

one, two, and three of the first series. He

17:18

had a little bit of a struggle those

17:20

last two games, which is to

17:23

be expected if I'm not mistaken. The kid had

17:25

played like twenty nine games, twenty

17:27

nine grade very good games,

17:29

like at some point you have to

17:32

have a bad one, and you know he

17:34

had. He had a rough one in game four,

17:37

better game in game five. He just didn't shoot

17:39

as well, but he had a much better game in Game five.

17:41

Of it then were serious, and then yesterday

17:44

he broke out again and had an incredible Game

17:46

thirty one, nine and eight. It's funny

17:49

I was standing my press conference earlier today.

17:51

Jordan has irrational confidence

17:54

Jordan's I don't have that confidence

17:56

that Jordan has. Most people don't have

17:59

that confidence is that Jordan has. It's

18:01

a little irrational, like why would

18:03

Jordan Pool think I'm on the floor with Steph

18:05

Curry. I'm on the floor with Clay

18:08

Thompson. I should have the ball,

18:10

I should be taking these shots. It's very

18:12

irrational, but you

18:14

need guys like that when

18:16

when you're gonna do great thing, you need guys

18:19

with irrational confidence. That's what

18:21

makes them great. And so you

18:23

know, for Steph Curry to shoot the way Steph

18:26

Curry shoots, you have to have irrational

18:28

confidence to do that. For Clay Thompson

18:30

to shoot the way it supposed to shoot, you have to

18:32

be a bit irrational. And Jordan

18:34

Pool has irrational confidences. Show

18:37

last night, I mean, he played

18:41

like, yeah, I'm supposed to be in this

18:43

moment and I'm supposed to play well, and it's

18:45

like, actually, you're probably not supposed

18:47

to be in this moment and you're not supposed to play that

18:49

well. But because he has irrational confidence.

18:53

And I say that with envy because

18:55

I wish I had irrational confidence.

18:58

Um, it's a beautiful thing. And

19:00

he goes right to that stage. He shows up

19:03

like it's his stage, like he belongs there.

19:05

He delivers the game he had

19:07

and and and we come out with the win in

19:09

spite of me getting injected, in

19:12

spite of Clay,

19:15

Wiggins and Steph combining

19:17

for nine for seven from the three,

19:20

in spite of the block

19:22

charge call which could have went either way,

19:25

in spite of the out of bounds called

19:27

that was ended up being

19:29

a jump ball and we lost and they scored two

19:31

points off of it. In spite of all

19:33

the things that went wrong for us, we

19:36

still were able to come out with that win. And

19:38

and and that says a lot. And

19:40

Jordan Poole was a key point in that. I

19:42

just mentioned Steph, Clay and

19:44

Wiggins coming for nine seven

19:47

from three. Uh. That is a testament

19:50

to a battle tested team. That is

19:52

a testament to a team that

19:54

knows how to win the game, win games.

19:57

Because there

19:59

was no we should have won the game. I just

20:01

don't believe we should have won the game. But we

20:03

found a way. And that's the playoffs it's

20:06

not always gonna be pretty. It's not

20:08

always um, it's not always

20:10

gonna be Steph Curry going

20:12

for having a Curry flurry as

20:15

people call them, and

20:17

going for forty or Clay Thompson

20:20

scoring thirty seven points, and it won't

20:22

always be that way. Sometimes you have to win

20:24

them ugly. But when you win them ugly, especially

20:28

in the Game one, there's no better way

20:30

of winning. And so I thought

20:32

that was a great thing. I don't

20:34

expect those guys to shoot the way they did, and

20:36

the thing is, it's like

20:39

there were quite a few open ones and they

20:41

just didn't go down. So you know, if

20:44

we can get those same shots, I love

20:46

it. Overall. I

20:48

was very proud of my guys um and

20:50

stepping up. You know. We spoke about it where

20:53

they left the locker room like, hey man, go deliver a

20:55

gut punch, go out there and take the game. And

20:57

we went out there and took it, and it

21:00

was it was a beautiful thing to see. And I think that

21:02

sets us up well for this series because we didn't

21:04

play great, you know, so if we come back in Game two

21:06

and we played great, I

21:09

think if we played great, we win. I always

21:11

felt that way, if we pay great, another team

21:13

played great, I think we win. It's not

21:15

necessarily the truth, but that's what I

21:17

feel that I believe. So, you know, hopefully

21:20

we're you know, I don't think we've played very

21:22

well since Game three, not

21:25

even really since Game too, and

21:27

so I think, you know,

21:30

I think one of those games

21:32

are brewing, and I'm hoping so it can come at a great

21:35

time if it comes tomorrow Celtics

21:42

and Bucks. I

21:44

actually had to go back and watch that game.

21:46

As you know, I was getting raised as

21:48

the game was starting with my bus time and

21:51

then preparation for our games like it, didn't

21:53

have a chance to watch it, and I had to go

21:56

back and watch that game. And what

21:58

I took away from that game immediately,

22:01

I mean, I could see it in the first

22:03

four possessions of the game as

22:06

Milwaukee. Milwaukee is

22:08

is actually a team that will give

22:10

up three point shots, Like if you look at their

22:12

stats during the regular season, Milwaukee

22:14

will give up three point shots. Their thing is

22:17

to protect the thing, and that was on

22:19

full display with seven

22:21

exclamation marks last night. They

22:23

were protecting the paint. They

22:25

said, Jaylen Brown and Jason

22:27

Tatum will not beat us. Grant

22:30

Williams is gonna have to beat us. Al Hard

22:32

is gonna have to beat us. Marcus Smart is gonna

22:34

have to beat us. Robert Williams is gonna have to

22:36

beat us. Their defense

22:38

on Jayson Tatum looked a lot

22:41

like Boston defense

22:43

in the previous series on

22:46

Kevin Durant. Multiple bodies, throwing,

22:48

adam, very physical and bumping,

22:51

and as you can see, I

22:53

think the cell to score ninety eight points and

22:57

eight nine even worse, I'm sorry,

23:00

all lifted around eighty nine

23:02

points, and I

23:04

mean that's a very very very

23:07

you know, we we all talk about

23:10

Boston's defense, but that's a very

23:13

high powered office as well. And to

23:15

score eighty nine points, that's

23:19

some incredible defense. To

23:22

also score eighty nine points while

23:25

Yanna shoots a terrible percentage

23:27

while Drew shoots a terrible percentage,

23:30

that means that when you're shooting terrible

23:32

percentage like that, you get the rebound

23:34

you run. That creates transition

23:36

opportunities. They're trans deefent

23:38

their their transition defense for stealth.

23:41

I saw a couple of times where it looked like Jayson

23:43

Tatum would easily get a bucket of guys

23:45

come flying around from everywhere and

23:48

and made it tough. Now, Milwaukee,

23:53

My thing with that series is if

23:55

I'm Milwaukee, I leave that game

23:58

saying, what's the likely hood

24:00

that Janice is gonna shoot nine for twenty five?

24:03

What is the likelihood that

24:05

Jason uh that Drew Holiday

24:08

is going to shoot five for twenty

24:11

eight for twenty eight for twenty

24:14

what's the likelihood of that? Now?

24:18

If I'm Milwaukee, That's what I'm thinking. If

24:21

I'm Boston, I think I hang

24:23

on, I hang my hat on defense. Drew

24:26

Holiday will shoot a for twenty again,

24:28

Joannice will shooting nine for twenty five again,

24:31

and Jayson Tatum

24:33

won't shoot just poorly again,

24:36

and Jack Brown won't shoot two for fifteen

24:38

again, And so if

24:41

you're both teams, you leave the game. I

24:43

think if I'm Milwaukee, I leave the game

24:46

feeling a little bit better. But

24:48

if you're Boston, you

24:51

still leave the game feeling semi

24:53

good. But

24:56

you also have to be realistic that in

24:58

guarding great players, you're just not always

25:01

going to shut them down. So at some point,

25:03

Yannest you're gonna have a co turnoers. Yanna is

25:05

gonna get dumps that may give them right.

25:07

And so that series, I

25:10

think it's probably gonna go six or seven. But

25:14

I mean Milwaukee to go still one

25:17

on the road without Chris Middleton.

25:19

You know, it's already been announced that Chris Middleton

25:22

would be out this series. You

25:24

go still on the road, You

25:27

got the opportunity he to go in

25:29

and get Greedy tomorrow. But to go home

25:31

and just take Carol home court advantage

25:33

and win two games at home, I mean, that

25:35

can really put you in a great position. So

25:38

I love the position that Milwaukee is in.

25:40

I think they're doing an incredible job. What

25:43

they did an incredible job last night, and

25:45

I don't expect that defense to change.

25:48

That is that is a championship

25:51

ball club that know where to takes to win.

25:54

And one thing that championship ball clubs

25:56

do is is they stick to their game plan.

25:59

And like I said, that their game plan

26:01

was evident. Grant Williams shoot

26:03

shot forty five percent from three this year.

26:06

Grant Williams has several threes point

26:08

attempts and no one was near

26:11

him. Al Horford has several

26:13

three point attempts, no one was near

26:15

him. I think within the four first four possessions

26:18

that Boston had it was to three

26:20

point attempts by Al Horford in a drive

26:22

middle in a one ft fallow way by

26:24

Al Horford. And if I'm

26:27

Mike Budenholzer, if I'm y honest, if I'm

26:29

Drew Holiday, I'm saying kudos.

26:31

This is exactly what we want. We want Al

26:33

Horford to beat us on offense. We know

26:36

Jay's Tatum can beat us on we know

26:38

Jalen Brown can beat us on offense. So

26:41

but the Bucks executed their game well,

26:44

their game playing well. But that

26:47

series, I can see that series

26:49

going six or seven. Ultimately,

26:54

I can't. I cannot. I

26:57

think Boston has a legitimate chance of winning

26:59

the series. I think Boston is a very, very,

27:01

very good ball club. But for me

27:03

personally, I

27:07

would be a little worried leaving

27:10

that game if I am Boston, just

27:12

because of the way it played out. But we'll

27:14

see, We'll we'll figure that out tomorrow.

27:17

Predictions on the Sun's

27:19

mass This

27:21

won't be a cake walk for the Suns.

27:24

I think. I mean, the Mavericks have a

27:26

very good team. They're playing really well,

27:29

and they have Luca Doncheons and anytime

27:32

you have a player like that on the floor and

27:34

he's on your squad, you always

27:37

have a chance of winning the game. And

27:39

so you know, uh Deep

27:41

Book is still coming back from a hamstring

27:44

entry. I don't expect him to be He's

27:47

probably more like six Dorrian

27:50

Phinney Smith is a ball hawk. Now

27:54

here's the here's something to watch. I

27:57

want to and and

27:59

doing the this show, Draymond

28:02

Green show one thing or

28:04

when I'm doing other you know, TMTR.

28:08

I want to teach the game of basketball, and I want

28:11

to teach people how to watch the game of basketball.

28:14

And you have to learn

28:16

how to if you don't already, you have

28:18

to learn the game within

28:20

the game. And one game within

28:23

the game is Reggie

28:25

Bullock is an incredible,

28:28

incredible wing defender. He's a very

28:30

good defender, has great length. It's

28:33

a good athlete. But

28:35

cps Reggie Bullock's big home. That's

28:39

a game within the game. Because

28:42

now you talked about your matchups

28:44

if you're if you're Dallas,

28:47

and which means Luca

28:50

probably will guard Jay Crowder. Okay.

28:54

So now you have Jalen Brunson who would

28:56

probably guard Michael Bridges, okay,

29:00

which means the white

29:02

power obviously DeAndre

29:04

Ada, which means you have to figure

29:06

out do you want to go Phinnis Smith

29:09

on book and Reggie on

29:12

Chris Paul or do you want to flip

29:15

that. The logical answer

29:17

would be to put Phinnie Smith on book because

29:19

he's stronger. Book will take you to the post

29:21

Book get there, he bump you. That

29:23

would be the logical answer. Reggie

29:26

got length, he can fly around a perimeter

29:28

with CP. That would be the logical

29:31

answer. But then when you take

29:33

the game, when you take the

29:35

game within the game into

29:38

consideration, you have to ask yourself.

29:42

With their personal relationship and CP

29:44

be in this big homie, how

29:46

does he really affect CPN and CP phased

29:49

by him at all? Because that is

29:51

a real thing. And so I'm

29:54

interested in seeing how that matchup plays

29:57

out. I think they'll start the logical

29:59

way, but I'm interested in

30:01

seeing if there

30:03

will need to be a changer now and

30:06

saying that game

30:09

one, I am taking the Phoenix Suns

30:11

to win the game over

30:14

the series. It's

30:17

a tough one because this math team,

30:19

I'm telling you, this maths team

30:21

is not a push over by

30:24

any stretch of the imagination.

30:27

And so I'm gonna admit this is a tough

30:29

one for me to pick. It's a pick

30:31

up. I feel like it's a coin flip. Both

30:33

teams are really good. Do

30:39

I have to pick one? If I have to pick

30:42

one, you

30:44

have to pick one. I'm

30:49

gonna pick their underdog. I'm

30:51

gonna go with the Maths. No

30:54

underdog has won a series yet. At

30:58

some point, an underdog I has to win the series,

31:01

right, I'm gonna go with the MAVs. But

31:04

god, that's gonna be a tough series.

31:06

I'm really only going on the Masks because they're

31:08

dog by the way, because

31:10

that series, I mean, God,

31:12

that's gonna be a really good series. I

31:15

gotta go with the Maths. I got

31:17

I just I gotta rolled underdog and got rolled

31:19

underdog. Someone go with the Mass And

31:21

the reality is that

31:24

there's pressure on the Suns. There's no

31:26

pressure on the map. They have zero

31:28

pressure. If they lose, they're supposed to lose. The

31:31

Sun's supposed to win. They've been the best team

31:33

all year, and so you have to take that

31:35

pressure into account as well. CPS

31:38

not faced by pressure. Newither's deep books.

31:40

So I don't expect the pressure to break

31:42

the Suns, but it is pressure. Pressure

31:45

is pressure, and you gotta deal with it.

31:48

I guess I'm gonna go with the Masks,

31:50

and then you have Heat sixers, Joel

31:54

mb list sixers if

32:00

Joel Embiid is out. See,

32:02

here's the thing people aren't talking about. Though.

32:05

Kyle Laurie is also out and Jimmy

32:07

Butler is nursing the knee injury these sorts.

32:09

He is listed as an act as available to play tonight.

32:12

Jimmy, Jimmy has Jimmy.

32:16

I guess I was watching um

32:18

I was watching on the Miami Heat I think

32:20

Instagram account. Yesterday Jimmy

32:22

was shooting corner three is here twelve out of thirteen,

32:25

but he was gingerally pushing off and

32:27

landing on that knee, and so that

32:31

was something. And I'm like, ah that

32:33

you know, that changes things? Caled not

32:35

having Kyle Lari that changes things

32:38

because what that does is it it

32:40

puts you back with Jimmy

32:42

as the player that he was last year,

32:45

which is more of a facilitator with

32:47

Carl. Carl Laurie can get

32:49

everyone else involved, but

32:52

Jimmy. But but Jimmy.

32:58

I think Jimmy is much better are

33:00

playing the way he plays right now, which

33:02

is I'm going to get it I can

33:04

facilitate, so I'm still gonna make the right

33:06

play, but I'm going to get it. And with Kyle

33:09

out, that moves Jimmy back to that position,

33:12

and that's something to watch with the

33:14

Sixers do have Joel out, and

33:18

we have DeAndre and

33:22

Paul read and

33:24

possibly George's Niang and

33:28

I mean possibly to Bias,

33:30

I don't know. They'll have those guys battling

33:32

with Bama to buy you, and that

33:35

is tough, especially see

33:37

if it's Joel having to guard Bam on one

33:40

end. At least Joel is beating

33:42

him up on the other and he's having a guard Joel

33:44

and lose something. You know, you're batting with him,

33:47

you know it tires out of wears

33:49

the guy down. None

33:52

of those guys Bam have to even worry about

33:54

except boxing out and

33:56

so that right there

33:59

is going to help Man even more. Bam

34:01

already a great player and now

34:04

he doesn't have to deal with you all to beat.

34:07

I got the heat in five. I'm

34:09

taking the heat in five. That's

34:15

my analysis on our

34:18

game. On the rest of the games going

34:20

on in the NBA playoffs before

34:22

we get out of here, we would love to do

34:24

some mail bad questions. As you know

34:27

hashtag the Draymond Green Show on

34:29

Twitter. Jackson will find great

34:31

questions. He will bring them here and

34:34

we will talk to you and ask your question and

34:37

give you our thoughts. Jackson, you got some questions

34:39

for me I do. Let's start with

34:41

from Bradley Williams at b Understore

34:43

rad fifty. Do you like having a short

34:46

rest period between playoffs series or a longer

34:48

rest period? I think this question is interesting in

34:50

terms of between games too, Like you only have one

34:52

game off pin games one and two, don't have Wednesday

34:55

Thursday Friday off between two

34:57

and three. So do you like a longer rest period

34:59

to let the body asked? Or a shorter carry just

35:01

try to keep it, keep it rolling, honestly,

35:04

as a guy who played

35:06

in the playoffs since my rookie

35:08

year, obviously missed the last two. But now

35:11

you know, I gotta keep my rhythm, I gotta keep my conditioning.

35:13

Blah blah blah blah blah. Now

35:16

I'm in the tenth year of my career, and

35:19

you know how to keep your rhythm, you know how

35:21

to keep your conditioning, and so just

35:24

from a mental aspect, I always tell

35:26

people a

35:28

basketball game doesn't start when we walk

35:30

on the court or even when we lead a hotel basketball

35:33

game starts the moment you wake up on

35:36

the day of the game, and really the night before,

35:38

the day before, you're like prepping and

35:41

you're getting things you need to feel good

35:43

tomorrow. And so just

35:45

the stress alone of the game days,

35:47

it's brutal. It's brutal. I

35:50

always tell people they say I

35:52

can play in the NBA, the first thing I will

35:54

say to them is absolutely nothing about

35:57

their skill, how they match

35:59

up against guy. I'll tell a guy in a

36:01

heartbeat, you couldn't handle the stress

36:03

of a game day, like, let

36:05

alone actually

36:08

going out there and playing in the game. The

36:10

stress of a game there. And so I

36:13

think for us at this point, I

36:15

mean your team clays in your eleven steps,

36:18

in your thirteen andres and your

36:20

seventeen. I

36:22

think for us at this point, you

36:24

appreciate the rest now.

36:27

Once you get in the game, it does. It is

36:30

a little adjustment period, but it's small,

36:32

and so you appreciate the rest now,

36:37

and saying that too

36:39

much rest could be an issue, Like I

36:41

was worried that if we swept Denver, we'd

36:44

be off for nine days that's a long time

36:46

with no games, and you come and play

36:48

a team that had a game two nights

36:50

before. That's a long time.

36:52

But you know you're talking five for

36:55

the sixth day break. We'll

36:57

accept that with opening arms. Anytime we could

36:59

get it next

37:02

one. You sort of talked about

37:04

this a little bit earlier, but I'm curious for a more

37:07

in depth answer from Nick, Charlton

37:09

Parrin at Lebond James

37:12

w O seven. What did you say to the team

37:14

at halftime. I told the

37:16

guys I have time. I said, go out and take

37:18

this game. That will be a gut punch. You know, this

37:21

is a game we're not supposed to win. Um,

37:23

we're not playing our best basketball. We're

37:25

not shooting well. Clay Thompson with three files,

37:27

Getty Paid with three files, Steph Curry with three

37:29

files. I'm rejected. Go out

37:32

and take the game, Go take their punch,

37:34

throw punches back, and just go still

37:37

the game. Win the game. However we need to win

37:39

the game. It's not gonna be pretty. Just

37:42

go win the game. And guys,

37:45

they did it, and it was beautiful to

37:47

see, and there was so many

37:49

things and people that contributed

37:52

to that win. And I like said

37:54

earlier, I think that puts us in a great position

37:56

for this series. Alright,

37:58

last one, a little bit of a lighter note from

38:01

DJ Hella Yella at dj

38:03

Hella Yella. How do y'all decide

38:05

who gets to control the music in team settings?

38:09

Uh?

38:11

James Wiseman actually is a very

38:14

good like James Wiseman. He's

38:16

all over the place, which is great, Like James

38:18

Wiseman. To give you some little baby

38:20

and gunna James Wiseman,

38:23

and give you some in w

38:25

a James James. Why the

38:28

kid loves music, which is why he you know,

38:30

he records his own music. You make

38:32

beats. The kid loves music. And

38:35

I mean he's all over the place. And

38:37

I don't like I said, I don't mean that in a bad way.

38:39

I mean he can check so many boxes. Like

38:42

James will walk up to a guy like, hey, Dre, what's you feeling

38:44

to day? I wanna go here? You want to go there?

38:46

He done and he will take you there. So

38:49

James Wiseman does a really good job. Ultimately,

38:54

it's going to be controlled by the vets. Like whoever

38:57

the vets say, we don't want to hear that. We

39:00

want to hear this, or we don't want you on

39:02

OX. We want him on the OS and

39:05

that's what's gonna happen. So ultimately

39:08

the best decide, but James

39:11

Wiseman does an incredible job. That's

39:14
