 We're all back from remote this week. You know what that means? No damn pants. Run it back starts now Good Monday morning the Monday after a long weekend of playoff basketball, but Chandler How was Vegas? before we Did not win but we definitely had the most fun Okay, so you were in the Justin Timberlake golf tournament and you had the most fun It was good. I think we got like third third place, but Okay, best effort and game up a little bit short. That's all right, buddy I'm sure you represented very well eddy g on the end there and stadium insider Shamsher on ya sort of in the middle And we're gonna talk some playoff basketball and there was a lot of it And we're gonna start here where I am in San Francisco a game that was very loud and very cool to be at Warriors squeezed this one out at the last second because the final place so much was going on including Dream on on defense Harrison Barnes with the final shot We'll get Steph Curry in a second Chandler, but your thoughts on the way this game ultimately played out I mean the kids ultimately got what they wanted here. I think dream on green I mean, this is great help if they wanted to take the ball out of Fox's hands You had a fantastic game But on the flip side Harrison Barnes got a wide open look that they would take every single time and you know They shot goes in this series is pretty much over going back to Sacramento So it worked out today, but it was a little bit of a gamble for dream on there, but that's what he does It's who he is. He's a very very smart defensive player and Fox had it going on So obviously they didn't want him to beat them But I said on the flip side that they can't ask for a better look So the Kings got to be happy with that and I think Harrison Barnes would just love that shot over again next game and knock it down Yeah, it's it's the shot. I mean, I guess a better shot would have been clutch player of the year Dear Fox sure when something I actually hate when they bring they call over the screen You're bringing a second defender. You're making life harder and yourself. We see what it just attacks Raymond off the dribble from the beginning Well, like plenty of time They funneled him. They got a good shot There's nothing more you can ask for I mean the only thing else you can ask for is to make it thought Harrison Barnes had a great Philosophy on it after the games like hey, I've been down way worse than this But it's monumental for the Kings. You can't lose both of those games You really shouldn't have lost the game without dream on but then you had this game You had this game about five six times in those last three minutes And it was turnover turnover miss turnover and then this final miss It was tough and especially the way Steph and Curry handed you the game. You got to win that game and they just did not Yeah, that was a that was just some confusion in the building which again We will get to but we want to hear from dream on first on his reaction to that very final play from Sacramento What are you thinking when the ball gets swung to Barnes and he rises up three for the win? You got to make that That's what it is We know Fox can make a shot you want clutch player here So what I'm not doing is giving them an eye so with anyone And just watching them work and living with that. We're not gonna live with that We know that you got to make somebody else beat you if he hit a great shot. He didn't and You know, whether he hit it or not, it's the right thing to make someone else beat you Fair enough Chandler. Do you like everything you said? Yeah, again, it was dicey you just admitted it basically he wanted the ball out of Fox's hands Harrison struggled all game long from the field He was three for ten or three for eleven and one for six from three So that's the one guy on the floor that they were willing to give it up But on the King's side, that's that's a guy also that's knocked him down all year long And it's had a great year shooting the ball So I don't think you can look to just this one play obviously there was a lot of place leading up to how we got here But this plays obviously magnified just because of the timing of the game But again, that's that's the risk they were clearly willing to take and I do think Harrison Barnes is gonna knock that shot down next time If he gets it again Yeah, I mean look everyone in the buildings thinking Fox is gonna get it. So obviously Harrison Barnes did here He is on the potential game winner afterwards You miss a game when potential game winning shot that it's gonna stick with you for a while I get the sense it's already gone from your mindset. Is that fair? You know after you learn to put yourself together after 2016 I think you know one shot is not going to necessarily phase you so you know for me It's all about trusting the process. I mean, like I said, we've got a good look. We missed it With the end of the day, I think the way that we're playing the way that we're in the series right now We have to continue to just do that The vet in the locker room Eddie, what'd you think about what he had to say? I Thought it was a great Loss of it to have and I think he's right I mean the way he was cast off after 2016 and and obviously when they get Kevin Durant that summer You know people forgot he was a lottery pick people forgot He was once the best high school player in the country and it was just this major prospect coming out of college So yeah, I mean he has a ton of talent and he's been through it all in this league So of course, he's looking at that and saying hey, I could have made it But we move on and look they have a three game series now They have home court for those and the potential game seven will be at home So they got to feel good But I gotta you gotta think of the back of their head there They know they missed an opportunity yesterday, but credit to Dreymont. It was great help defense Steph did a good job funneling him not letting him go middle all the way You know, he did push him to his left hand But it is what it is it worked right there There was a ton of things they could have done better But it's a decent shot for a chance to win the game The Warriors had the same thing a game one and they missed and here we are I mean the series is about as even as it feels and again three games sprint now back to Sacramento But the Warriors they look they look motivated and they look confident and that's not what the Kings wanted As you look to wrap up the series Yeah, this year this series and the next series those to be are what's going on right now But Dreymont of course did not start yesterday. He came off the bench Dare I say in person to a hero's welcome shams. It was deafening in that building when he did come off the bench How did we get there? Yeah, I mean, I think there's there's two prongs of this one I think for sure Dreymont green going to Steve Curran coming with the idea and really being open to coming off the bench He saw game three the way that their offense was so fluid with Jordan pool starting Dreymont green recognized that as a leader and understood this spot for him If he was gonna come back when he was gonna come back It was better for him to come off the bench and so I think it was part part that and also part the team The Warriors recognizing we're better starting off game four with Dreymont off the bench and Jordan pool starting So you saw him come off the bench But then he came right back in the second half took a starting spot because they needed size They're getting out rebound in the first half I think that's the value of Dreymont green is defensively being able to put him on malik monks deer and fox They they lacked having that extra defender besides angel wiggins to play on those two guys quicker guys guards And to me Steph Curry as well back to back games with 30 points or more both their wins He had the snafu with the with the timeout the chris webber moment at the end But I think overall the way he shot the ball kept the team in the game when you saw the king start to I think get control the game in the second half stuff made a couple big threes And I think that went a long way in them getting the win Yeah, him making those threes is just it's a beautiful thing But there was the moment you mentioned there the chris webber moment It was right after saying man It's tough right now because the kings don't have the kind of experience the warriors do and then this happens Steph Curry with a timeout call that did not exist Chandler, what'd you think about it? I mean this is very uncharacteristic and Especially because in a timeout in a situation like this you have about seven coaches that are yelling every play How many timeouts you have so this is just kind of weird that he was unaware of this But I also want to touch on the drain one green off the bench thing I think this is huge because number one We don't know if he actually went to the coaching staff Maybe that was just the publicity of them of making him look good by saying that or maybe he's unselfish that he saw something in game 3 And brought that to the table, but a player like him it doesn't change the way he plays right He's still going to go out there. He's still going to defend. He's still going to do his thing He's still going to be at the end of the game. I think a lot of young players don't realize Starting is is is ego for the most part and as you get older eventually You're not always going to be a starter and you have to understand that would you rather start the games Do you rather finish the games and a game like this you want to be on the floor at the end of the game? So I think they found something here with dream on I think this is kind of going to become who he is for the rest of his career depending on if he's days with the Warriors or not, but Again, that's that's very unselfish if that if he really went to that You know to steve kerr's office and kind of approached him after seeing what he saw on game 3 But now it's coming down to game 5 and like eddie said, it's a three game series And I I think whoever wins game 5. I think it's I think it's a wrap I think the Warriors we know how bad they are however Bad they are on the road. I think the kings still have the advantage But this series is is my favorite series by far Yeah, this series is fun. By the way that that timeout snafu was a five point game And it quickly became a one point one point game leak monk huge free throw. It was so weird in there Um, do you have confidence eddie in this Warriors team? I mean, we know their road woes during this entire regular season. What are you thinking? I do and I think they played well in Sacramento. I mean they lost game one They had two shots to win that game shots sent it to overtime and another shot to win it Uh, and you know, they've They've looked like they figured out some of the stuff that the kings are doing and kings are trying to do I mean don't buy some bonus his minutes last night were so frustrating and the way they just They're not running high pick and roll with him because there's ways around that and the screen on the They'll switch on the way up there so it doesn't be there But they're running all their pin downs to him because they know he won't jump out on a shooter And and and they're running them with kivan looney. So you got guys like my link bunk deer fox They're running into kivan looney screens It was actually a pretty controversial winning the game was actually why the warriors did not have that time out to call Because they challenged it which was weird like it's a strange call to challenge But anyway point being The warriors aren't guarding the domos sabonis and they're running everything at him and he is an absolute issue Alex land. Look, I know Alex land is limited But he's he's got the biggest plus minus on the team throughout these four games And and domos sabonis has the worst plus minus on the team throughout four games That's not just that's not just a loose number. You can see that on the court. They can run a functional defense He can finish in the paint. They can't just bully him in the paint He can actually raise up and dunk on kevon or or draymond There are some issues and the lawyers are attacking them over and over and over It look it's not like he can close out on clay on clay thompson. So They're they're in a bad spot with that. Um, the warriors are confident and and they should be and i'm confident in them as well I tweeted last night. I think last night was the series. I think they got it from here Really? Look sabonis every time sabonis touched the ball He was booed and I would just like to point out he did not stop his own chest So i'm a little bit confused as to why we're doing all that and it was it was a rough crowd in there And that's weird that both of you guys seem to think the warriors look even The odds are saying that the warriors are the favorite to win the series But the kings they lose by one in a very hostile environment. They get to go home now Why why are we so confident in the warriors? What are the kings have to do? Because in a series when you're down two games and then you completely just go and just flip the series the confidence Everything momentum is on you and the kings had one job They had win one of these two games and they didn't end and they had that was the series right there They can easily just go and win game five and it shifts back this happens all the time where it's all about momentum in these series It's all about who stays healthy and right now going into this game. The warriors are confident Now we can see if we they can end up playing good on the road But because they haven't done that very often and like I said soon Sacramento wins this game I do think that whoever wins this game that's who wins. I'm not necessarily picking the warriors or the kings But I think game five is a tell-all and I think the kings still do after losing two Have that advantage at home just how much better they are that place. We thought it was going to be in saying game one It's going to be nuts in game five. So I do think this is now it's it's the best series It's the most competitive. I think everybody wrote off the warriors after going down to And now they're right back in there now everyone's talking about how confident and how they have the advantage So it's awesome. But I got whoever wins game five taking it all All right Chandler has game five Eddie has warriors shams and I are neutral because we're professional journalists and we're going to keep it that way Cavs nix the other series despite it being a three one lead right now It just it's a fun series to watch nix beating the Cavs one or two 93 brunson new york's Sweet sweet star with 29 six and six rj bear it with a good game. Josh Hart is just fun Uh, this is simple eddy. I'm gonna start with you is jaylon brunson the best player on that court He's looking like it and I'm wondering how far up the list. Josh Hart is as well I mean, I know he just lost a three point contest to jj reddix kid But he's absolutely integral for what they do But yeah, jaylon brunson his command of the game and credit to the guy we're looking at right now to rj Barrett rough start to the series. They stuck with him. This is a guy who got benched, you know, not even a month ago just Because tibs is like that and you're not up to par. He'll hold you back I don't care where you were picked by this team. It doesn't matter but uh jaylon brunson it's just The way it's tough because it looked like derry's garland had figured out how to guard him a little bit It was giving him a lot of trouble in the first half But if he's hitting his threes There's nothing you can do and he's master the art of driving even at that size taking on contact avoiding the bigs finishing amongst the trees He's such a fun player to watch it's looking back. It's really unfortunate that he didn't make the all-star game And you know appointed contention last night and something that jeff van gunny continued to mention They went down the stretch without julius rando and they looked just fine So I think this is all this is jaylon brunson's team and rightfully so and and he's been incredible Can someone decode jaylon brunson's uh celebration with with his hand? Don't worry about it. Hannah has the ability. He told us not to worry about it Someone needs to decode it I think when you look at the nicks though that they have so many good two-way players I mean joshhardt jaylon brunson we all know about But I think that to me is separating uh these two teams when you look at down on michael derry's garland That was the worry with that cleveland team is just having two guys at six foot two six foot one In your backcourt not having the the size in the backcourt where you're looking at yes Jaylon brunson's that same size then you have rj barrett You know be being that you know six foot eight six foot nine two guard that they're basically playing with so I think size is definitely a big thing and down on michael at the end of the day five of 18 That's not going to get it done. We had high expectations on down on michael going into this series And so we'll see if he's going to be able to turn around a game for Yeah, he's been non-existent chaneler like that was a that was a bad game for donald and michael Yeah, it's just it's it's it's more impressive what the nicks are doing especially eddie touched on a little bit julius randall didn't give him much but how good jaylon brunson's been how good joshhardt He's kind of to me been the mvp of the series just all the little things how he's playing defense He is getting so much love this series and that was one of the best pickups that they could have grabbed They could have got because he just fits well He's one of those players where he doesn't need the ball. He doesn't need play calls He just goes out there and he knows his role and he gets well, but this this is on donald and michael He's supposed to be the best player in the series eddie picked him to leave the playoffs and scoring that ain't happening eddie But he They got size they got barrett they got top and they got smaller guys that are pressuring him and he's also just Hard to sign but it looks too. So yeah, so the nicks have the depth They have the bodies they have the the roster to to guard these guys defensively on the flip side They've shown some sides that they can do it But this is an offensive team that's struggling defensively that looks like they're the more inexperienced team so kudos to the nicks but the the garden is rocking and this is again If the warriors and kings is the most competitive series, this is the this is another great series That's right there because it is action packed Yeah, the garden yesterday was that looked fun Like if you could be anywhere in basketball that might have been the other place that I would want to be Is it the best home court advantage in sports eddie? I mean, I don't know tray young just did what he did to them a while back So if I'm talking about in sports, I'm I'm thinking of stuff like green bay and it being frozen I'm thinking about weather situations But in the mba, it's fun and that and and I hate when people say this and it's so cliche But when the nicks are good, it's better for the mba when that crowd is rocking like that When when we get to see all the celebrities when spike is having his moment and and Pete davison who people love for some reason like they're showing him 20 times during the game Point being when the garden is rocking like that. It's it's a better Show for the mba. I had fun watching it like I kind of was upset. I didn't go but it's uh I don't know. It's the best home court advantage in the league. I mean, they're gonna lose some home games in the next series Yeah, I would think so. I mean if there's a game six, that would be a fun one to be at By the way, this was uh, this is just one round This is the first round, but you would not know it if you were on 7th avenue Following this game yesterday. I am in love with all of the footage from 7th Are you kidding me? This is crazy I love how they're screaming at kd to like I know you want to come in Meanwhile, he's up 3-1 as well. Just doing just fucking phoenix, but this is what Eddie's talking about Like this is rocking. This looks like a college town. Like these dudes are drunk These dudes are loud. They cannot wait to whoever they play next round And you know what just the fact that they could win and survive this series That's a huge win for the city for the garden for all these fans They get to they get to go to another series against a really good team coming up if they do pull this off But it is cliche, but man when the garden's rocking and extra good. It is great for basketball It is If you're not familiar with new york city, if you're not out here, if you don't never been here too much That's 4 p.m. On 30 30 7th That's a massive issue for the city of new york, but a good one. That I love it It's amazing and they deserve it Look a lot of us a lot of us picked the calves to kind of just walk through this series And so for the next to turn this gear on defensively and to have their new star and jelom brunson Yeah, it's worth celebrating. So enjoy it. Enjoy it. Uh, you might be going to miami in the next series I don't I don't know what's going on out there. I was gonna say I I don't know where to put my money on that one Yeah, but at least it was a sunday afternoon eddie. So they had a little bit They got a little bit of leeway on that one What are the chances we're giving the calves to win three consecutive games chandler Not not very high honestly Up on their weakness, like I said, they look inexperienced. They don't defend very well And it's just proving that the nix is a tough matchup for them And when you go down three one, especially as a young team like this They're confident in shot and now they're in the same kind of situation as the kings But they're they're playing three elimination games and they have a chance to flip it kind of get back to the garden But the way the nicks are playing the way jaylin's rolling if rg barrick can continue to do that They can get a little bit more from julius randall I see the nicks closing this out, which is no surprise because we all I think picked the calves to win this series And that's what we do. So it makes perfect sense I didn't I did not pick the calves to win if you pick the nick you didn't pick the Yeah, but I'm picking with my heart. So that wasn't even a that wasn't even a professional journalist michelle I don't think we picked. Oh, that's right shams. Thank you so much. But if I had picked, uh, okay This is weird because that series is three one and it feels very exciting and what's going on This one's three one as well. And it just doesn't have the same zhuzh Celtics hawks game four. They take a three one series lead 129 121 I mean it was it was closer Tatum finished with 31 jaylin brown finished with 31 As far as teams being feared in the east Correct me if i'm wrong here chandler, but it feels like the celtics have taken that spot I mean they look great. There's a team philadelphia. That's already resting in on ice that looked pretty good as well But this team is deep and this team defends this team has two stars I can go off for 40 points whenever they want Jaylin brown took off the mask last night and literally didn't miss I don't know. I don't know if that was superstition or what happened there But he was a whole new player once he took that paste mask off You're right. This is a three one series and same thing with with minnesota and dimver And it just doesn't have the same punch as the nixon hawks or the the other series It's just it's not as fun this this series to me is as as as It's kind of a snoozefest be honest with you. I don't think the hawks have a chance I think this is this is over in the next game But the celtics look good and they've always had the defense they've always had the dna They have the roster to switch everything. They have length. They have size And their stars are showing up. So they definitely look like a championship contending team They look kind of crazy. Jaylin brown told me Yeah, Jaylin brown told me a few weeks ago that his mom, you know, his mom basically wanted him to keep his mask on So unfortunately his mom was not able to get his wish He takes his mask off and channel 11 of 15 in the second half of the game once he got that mask off I was so impressed by both Jaylin brown and jason tatum. They both scored 31 points They scored the last 16 points for the celtics This is a team that's clearly on the other end of of whatever rut They might have had in the second half of the season And and I do think right now you have to look at it. Milwaukee. Giannis his status is up in the air for tonight We'll see if he plays or not Um, but he's been banged up. Milwaukee is a team who's been up and down so far in these playoffs They're down to one. Yes. Philly's rested. They're gonna be good And I think joelle's gonna be fine for game one But this boston team has has all the ingredients robert williams First Celtic player to have 10 points 15 rebounds off the bench since bill walton So this team is playing at a really high level right now Yeah, they are and they look kind of bored like they're over this series already. They dropped the game I know they're annoyed. They dropped the game But they're almost just going through the motions. They're so good someone's better than the hawks It's fine But their offense is pretty simple and they're getting their stuff off one on one And it's just they know they're better than that team that philly series though I expect them to be locked in for that and ready to prove a point because I mean we debated it all year and everybody else debated it all year Who's better between these two teams? I think boston strongly believes this them a matter of fact I know that I've heard it from multiple multiple people over there They they strongly believe it's them and they got a point to prove Hopefully like som said joelle is good and he's healthy and we get the full versions of both teams because I cannot wait for that series I just want to address one thing that happened at the end of this game to jaunte murray There was a little bit of contact with an official What do we expect happens here? Is this suspension? Is it a fine like what channel or what happens? Uh, I mean it's obviously it's nothing major here But there's definitely contact and I would not be surprised if the NBA did take action It would just you know Be the cherry on top for the series just to knock off one of their best players in an elimination game But you can't do this you're your older player your experience. You're you're so important to your team I know I know You know frustration is you know at all time high, but you can't do this You definitely can't make contact and he's definitely got to get For the series and for the hot to make it a competitive game. I hope they don't suspend him, but With dream on the suspension and they have to kind of keep it balanced keep it fair I think he gets suspended here. You can't do this. Oh Yeah, I know the jaunte just had a new baby Uh, I think the season's over and go enjoy being a dad and then take your time off Healthy sum of money to some charity of the NBA's choice. You can't do that. You just can't I don't I don't know what his beef was Uh, I was shocked that nothing happened in the moment the ref actually kind of took it pretty well But there the game was over. There's no text more. There's no more text to give out Right, but you just can't do that. So he's probably gonna be suspended and without him They they had no chance anyway, but without him. They really have no chance Yeah, probably not probably not a good look for you. Uh nuggets wolves could have been over Probably should have been over. Uh, but it's not man Anthony Edwards took things personally. He said avoiding the sweep was Personal he finished with 34 6 and 5. This is an overtime game. Um Look, I I don't know what Denver's doing here, but Chandler as far as avoiding a sweep Is that considered a success story for this minnesota team? A success. No a little bit dignity and Respect If boston looks bored in that series then literally denver is fast asleep because this series Is not very exciting. This series is not even fun to watch I don't even know if i'm gonna watch game five because it's gonna go But it's it's bad. I respect anthony Edwards. This kid is an absolute star You could tell he took an ownership. He won that shot. He absolutely yanked So whoever was guarding him back and hit the big three They tried to blow this this game the best part about this game to be on watch and was there up seven We're like a bit to go they call a timeout and there's fans waving by and then I come back from the rest room But it's literally a Three seconds later. They tried to get this game up, but yeah, this is this anthony towns Can you stay out of foul trouble too? I know you're a guarded yoke at some times of the but like They need him on the floor, but yeah this season this this season this series is pretty much over Isn't that the kind of blow we want to see from carl anthony towns By the way that anthony Edwards quote isn't that wouldn't you rather see cat saying stuff like that? But go go on I digress I love anthony Edwards and and and I don't love carl anthony towns And they're gonna have to really decide like what direction they go with this team You hate to give up a talent like carl anthony towns But if you can add some depth to your team and really Go down with anthony Edwards. You got to consider you got to think about it It's a summer to really think about it. But but going back to this game Yo 12-0 run to finish the game for the nuggets the last two 52 of the game That's disgusting. Yeah, that cannot happen These guys took like shots early in the clock too. Like they're giving the nuggets Opportunities to to win this game for some reason the nuggies actually had a chance to win the game yoke Some people's MVP missed the big free throw down the stretch But it's it's uh It's an interesting series in the sense that you get a you get a glimpse of what the nuggets want to do in the playoffs And yoke has not turned on the scoring gear yet until last night and and when he's drilling threes, there's nothing you can do with him Uh, but but you get a sense of how teams are going to try to guard them and and it seemed like yesterday They were funneling him one on one rooty. They wanted to see him score They wanted to not have those shooters get hot and it basically worked but anthony Edwards He's sensational on both ends of the court. He's big blocks. He's he's guarding the best player That's snatch back Chandler, do you have that in your bag? I don't I don't think I've ever my best day had that in my bag to do that to To do that to erin gordon with the money on the line. That's disgusting So, uh, i'm just happy for him my tagline where anthony Edwards is always the league is in good hands And uh, yeah, he didn't get he didn't get the sweep. So I guess it's a success He is their future by the way. Yeah, I don't care towns go. Oh, yeah That dude is going nowhere and if they do if he does they're fools I Yeah, I mean tyle anderson said it after the incident with Rudy gobert Like this team is going to have decisions to make in the summer But one of those decisions is not going to be what to what do you do with anthony Edwards? He's going to be extension eligible. He's a max contract player clearly and I think when you look at this team You have to love the ascension of anthony edwards because this is a time a period of a moment where The terminals really would be kind of lost in terms of direction If we're not for the rise of anthony edwards and just how much he's emerged as a superstar player already He's what the second player in nba history to have five Five games of 30 plus points or more van lebron james. So he's already a good company Uh, you know eddie's been been saying the league's in good hands And I think that's definitely accurate when you watch anthony edwards All right channel 21 years old I mean 21 that's like yeah, he's he's gonna be fine. Uh denver favorite coming out of the west channel Do you see this happening or has anything changed? No, I think they lose next round to phoenix and I think Explosive offensively. I think yokich is gonna obviously create a bunch of problems For them. I think eighton's gonna have his hands full. They're they better get like jock and beombo They better get ready because they're gonna have their time on him But no, I think the the nuggets are one of the worst defensive teams and the suns are one of the Better offensive teams. I don't know how they're gonna stop kd I don't know how they're gonna stop devin booker I know how they're gonna stop chris paul on that pick and roll when they bring yokich in it So obviously we're getting a little ahead of ourselves But I think they've been the most consistent team all year long, but that doesn't make them the best team And I think the suns beat them in the next round All right fair enough We're taking a quick break here when we come back shams with some updates on yannis and envied And are the bucks in trouble after all of that find out next Run it up to run it back We are back for some shams scoops time. We also want to preview a couple of games shams So talk to me about joel and bead. What's the latest? So we missed their last game they swept the brooklyn nets and there is optimism that he'll be able to play In game one of their next series against boston. I assume or atlanta. We'll see if they're able to make through and come back But uh, he had a sprained knee And I think they believe this is about a one week injury And so assuming the playoff start next weekend is upcoming weekend The hope is that joel and bead will be in the lineup But yeah, he went down a few times in that nets game three But thankfully it wasn't anything major I mean, there's some big names first round of these playoffs with injury issues chandler But as far as uh advantages earned by sweeping the nets, how big is that one for philadelphia? Well, it's huge for the obvious reasons that their best player is day to day and is dealing with something That's lingering and every day that goes by. Hopefully he's getting more healthy Their whole team that's banged up is getting more healthy. They're watching more film or they're getting more prepared So they handle business and and again, they just eliminated any problems with going into a deep series that they're basically on ice And watching whoever they're going to play next which is looking like boston and They'll be hopefully joel will be ready and that series is going to be a blast I mean, we say goodbye to the brooklyn nets eddie It was a tumultuous season at the very least I don't want to say is it a success but as far as what you know, if you had to describe this net season What do you give it it? Um a restart that's probably what I'd call it. I wouldn't call it a success You you traded away two all stars including maybe the best player in basketball. You Had a under 500 record after that and you got swept. That's that's not successful. That's frustrating You came into the season with championship hopes with ideas of adding New pieces in the middle of the season and and winning the title So in that sense, yeah, it's a failure, but I think they have a ton of potential going forward I think they have something in my cal bridges If if he's a number one on a contender, I don't know. It wasn't the greatest Results, but they have a ton of flexibility and if they can Duped somebody into taking that Ben Simmons contract They might have Damian Lillard or tre young or someone else to star on that roster next season, but It's it's highly dependent on it doesn't help that Joe Harris Couldn't throw a rock in the ocean in that series either because that's one of the contracts you'd have to trade to go get somebody to but uh They have the flexibility they have the opportunity to have a ton of picks to work with so They have something building. I tried telling Spencer. I told him. Yeah, they had no they had no chance Finally, I got one right Yeah, Chandler Annette's at the expense of a friend. What an awful human You hate to see it Victor Oladipo season ending shams again a lot of injuries in this first round. What can you tell us? The this is just devastating because of Victor Oladipo's history, but yes torn patellar tendon in his left knee This is an injury that typically carries a one-year recovery And he's had two surgeries on his other knee his right knee for a quad tendon tear that he suffered in 2019 So he's has two surgeries on his right knee. He's about to have another surgery on his left knee And so it's just devastating for Victor Oladipo. He's a two-time all star He's made his way back and he finally got back in that heat rotation Last game he played solid in his in his bench minutes He was playing garbage time Minutes down the stretch of game three because the team was up and he was getting a rhythm in and then he has his injury Thankfully for him, he's got a player option for next season at over nine million But this is just unfortunate Chandler. You've had a lot of you know, you've dealt with a lot of leg injuries But for Victor Oladipo, what does he face going into this off season? Yeah, I was it's about as tough as it gets like you just touched on everything that he's been through And you can see the season he had he struggled and that is tough. You tear your quad you have not two knee surgeries Now you're going to the patella It's tough. It's basically putting you out all next year. Thank god He's got a contract or guarantees him some money next year, but this is no good You just hope that he mentally can stay strong You hope that you know the heat support him and they give him the best treatment during this but This is a tough blow man. This is someone. This is not something to season ending This could possibly be a career ending when you look at what he's been through already The age that he's getting at now This sucks and someone who went through a lot of knee problems. This is nothing that he could have done about this It's just a free play and I hope he can get through this and get back on the floor because when he is healthy He's a hell of a player If if Yanis doesn't return and we're still waiting on that right eddie, uh, you consider the heat favorites in this thing I mean, they have a chance and they they needed Vic, which is the frustrating part. I mean, they've lost tyler hero already Uh, they get so-so results from carl ira each night and they they needed what Vic was providing was having a good game Uh, but I mean, they're up. They're up in the series. They're they're at home Uh, tonight and and this is a veteran squad. This is a squad that knows how to play this team They played this team in the playoffs before they've beat this team in the playoffs before. Um, I do think they're the favorites right now If Yanis doesn't return if he does obviously that changes the series but It's just been a tough week for for the heat to watch their two guys go go down like that and and I'm with channel I'm with channeler like I don't I don't know that he comes back from this He was already working hard to get back on the court as it was had a ton of issues throughout the season Um, it's unfortunate because it wasn't too long ago Vic was having those great seasons in Orlando and in Indiana and he was looking like a future Superstar in this league and and it's just been a mess ever since that first knee injury Yeah, the heat have a chance to do what the kings couldn't do last night That's pretty much in this series right now taking demanding a commanding lead here Uh, and really have it in your favor and obviously both teams are banged up But I do think the heat is an experienced team I do think that they have that kind of dna They have that culture that they know how big this game is and if the the bucks happen to tie this thing up tonight Then I think that obviously the momentum shifts to their favor And I think they won this series and I do still think they are a better team without yonest It's still than the heat are so they've been the arguably the best team all year long. Obviously, they're they're They're the best team with yonest and they're Slightly above average with without him. So it's tough But thank you know good thing for them is the heater just is banged up now. They just lose all the depot So this is a dog fight and whoever Advances in this series whoever Whoever they play next is over there licking their chops because this is exactly that it kind of what that that team needed Yeah, this is a rough first round here in these mba plus shams. Thank you so much We shall see you in the morning. We're taking a quick break when we come back that man All these men they have families and it's happened finally dylan brooks full fledged villain next unrun it back Some disrespectful moments so far in these playoffs that man all the men Have families and we're gonna start with kevin durant Just a moment for mason plumley. He's got decisions to make This is this is friendly of you guys to add they didn't talk on nobody here No, it's more mason plumley just deciding to move He made the right decision mace has been great Yeah, nothing good was gonna come out man. I I I I think you could add a real challenge there This is a skinny guy. I think you could you know what though? He's already he's in the hash circle. He's way too low Yeah, he's gonna give their foul and we're getting banged on He's smart. He's smart. He's smart. Let's move it on It's moving on to his next part of that one Uh dante divin chenzo This was so bold. I was convinced it was a double dribble And I still might yeah, twitter Yeah, twitter has decided it's a double dribble. It looked incredible live. Look. Yeah, it's a double dribble. You can't do that But also the fin do that don't finish The finish the the the first of all a little bang bang the ref is behind him and then the right foot Underhand finger roll floaty uh Hey, man, it's it's in the books. It counts and it was it was pretty It's over. Can't take it back. Sorry, anthony edwards. Just all of anthony edwards whatever he did Counts I just I just Oh, and I just love him with my whole my whole basketball heart like I just he's just everything I I would want a 21 year old superstar to be Also, yokey What is what is that contest? You are right there from the way he plays from like he's fun to watch offensively. He plays defense He's hilarious and interviews anthony edwards for president. He can do he can act. He can act legitimately like Great in the hustle or hustle julius randall. This is generous considering how this game ended for julius randall But we'll enjoy the moment right here Oh, this happens like twice a season, right? It just happens perfect for you you get a practice dump That's that's great. I like that one Yeah, they let him go I'm going left downhill too. I love to see it I just hope he had like that's like the don't you do with the end of your workout Well, he doesn't he does another thing this time on uh Donovan. Oh, that was a good moment actually That was oh my goodness. Yeah, that's impressive because we know how many bodies donovan mitchell has and how bouncy he is Big moment in that game. So they're down three Donny gets that dunk who knows if he looks back after that, but that's tough. I didn't think he really had this in him. That was impressive How about LeBron? Yeah, no, I even I have to say that was impressive I don't want to say it a little bit Uh, I mean kind of gets it in there Dude, he's a hundred and seven like what do you want eddie? He took off he took off from the dotted line. That's pretty Good and I want to know I want to know if you would do this if it was a tighter game They are up 20. So it gave me a little leeway, but this is probably not It's still insane for him to be doing this beginning of the third quarter in a playoff game Well, I think watch him live at the play-in Watch him live at the play-in game like he still has a lot of true stuff in those legs It's actually kind of surprising the only guy who looked a little bit more athletic to him Anthony Edwards future league Hmm Good Lord's like half of his age. Let's let's preview Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers. Uh, Lakers are up 2-1 I mean Do we expect a uh them to handle the Grizzlies again? Easily, I think it's gonna be a lot closer. I think Dylan Brooks Better, I think the Grizzlies will be more prepared. They can't play worse than they did the other night. They still had their chances Obviously, I think the the Lakers are the heavy favorite here. They've been pretty good at home so far but Yeah, I look for the Grizzlies to kind of learn from their mistake last game and get much better in this game expect to be a tight one Yeah, I'm expecting a tight game too. I think the Grizzlies know they have to get this There's there's no way around it. Right. They haven't shot very well in this series so far They're due which is, you know, not the greatest analysis ever But the Lakers are also due to not have a really hot some more light them up in Austin Ridge. So I expect a great game I'm actually waiting for like the dominant LeBron game, and I hope that's tonight. I love the chatter the other night I love the fact that he kind of put them in his place But uh, I'm waiting for the dominant LeBron game We might might have a 40 piece on the way at some point to uh, humble Dylan Brooks Uh, I don't while humbling Dylan Brooks isn't interesting. I mean look, he suggested The audacity of this man. He suggested that the media us The fans that we've made him into this villain not the words that have come out of his face Um, Chandler, we're not to blame. Like isn't this what he wanted? Did he deserve to be ejected? Is what is going on? Yeah, the media has nothing to do Dumb shit that he keeps saying about everybody and I will say He this to me. I don't think he's Sarely on purpose. I don't think I didn't either I don't think an ejection was really necessary here. I think all the hoopla that he's created like Dreymon This is now who he's becoming again. Yes, the media has pounced on it. The fans have pounced on it But this is all self-inflicted. This is all what he wanted. This is all Making him more famous. This is getting him more clicks. So at the end of the day He is a villain and he created this with how he's been carrying himself But this ejection to me, I got to defend him a little bit here. This was weak It was his body was going that way. He tried to cut him off Who knows? Maybe it was on purpose. I don't see it in a playoff game and a critical piece like him Who's one of their better wing defenders? He can't toss him. This wasn't like it was dangerous He didn't cock his arm back and hit someone in the head when they were in the air Uh, this was weak Yeah, weirdly enough it's it's because it's those two. I mean you're looking at the screen going It could have been anyone else anyone else He he got that because of all the commotion he caused before that and the guy he hit like let's be honest If if he could do that on purpose if he had that timing on his punches He he should have been in the ring on saturday and not on the court So it's like he might have been in the wrong sport But a shout out to this twitter account Lakers empire, of course Lakers empire, but it's pretty good lip readers Fixed the audio just about right figured out what LeBron was telling him LeBron was basically telling him what Chandler just said you're doing too much causing too many problems And i'm about to bust your ass like what are you about to do and then he finishes off by telling him make some shots And Dylan did none of that. He did none of that on saturday He's gonna need to do that if they want to win some of these games, but I loved that LeBron did this I love that Dylan seemingly got humbled. He put his head down and just listened to the goat But LeBron knew he would have to address this in some way. He told the media I'm not with all of that and then went and did all of that and that's fine He addressed them man to man face to face and he had a great game So i'm loving this series, but I think it's over. I think they essentially end it tonight Really, so like this is Dylan bro. This is he's now put this Arrow on his back where he's created this and it's not like he's the type of player like getting Anthony Edwards or like one of these star guys that can go and get 40 and dominate a game So except this was hilarious that the Lakers actual broadcast posted this But again, this is the thing that he's brought on himself He's created this himself and now you've made his bed and now he's sleeping in it And it's not gonna be cozy with the arguably the greatest player of all time coming at your neck Every single play has a words that you said and again, this is this is all self-inflicted So it's hard to feel bad for the guy. No, I don't feel bad. I think this is a brilliant brand building I was disappointed. He was silent after the game. Um, that was a little bit of a bummer John moran though in game for god, there's there's still John moran It's crazy that dylan brooks has done such a successful job in this uh brand building that we forget about John moran I had 45 points 13 assists in the 42 minutes. He played including An amazing at the end of the game just trying to do everything he could did he prove anything to you Chandler did he need to Well, I mean he proved that he's Probably the best player in the series and that the lakers have nobody to guard him And that he can dominate and flip this series himself and for them to advance and for them to get this series back to even He's got to play like this again And it does fall on desmond bain and dylan brooks. These guys have to find a way to be more efficient They can't keep having these four for 16 four for 17 games And john moran is gonna have to be a star and put up these kind of numbers for them to have any sort of chance Pretty sure this is the night the woman in the night where I was kind of floating off Tank davis humbling ryan garcia and I'm just watching in the corner of my eye and I'm like, yo, josh scored again Josh had 23 a minute ago. Why does he have 33? And I look and I look at his 45 scored I think 23 straight points It was ridiculous watching him do that and I'm with Chandler the lakers don't have anything they can do to come Come back that I know you could say hey it was late. They were up They were you know, they turned it down a gear or whatever But when he's doing that when he's getting to the rim like that and he's hitting all those three six of 10 threes For john moran, you can't guard him. You're just gonna give up 40 and you need to guard everybody else I think for the grizzlies Desmond bain needs to be thanking dylan brooks for taking all of the heat off his back because he's been an absolute non factor this series And they need him they cannot win without desmond bain knocking down some shots and he hasn't done it yet 23 straight points. That's it's unacceptable. If you're the rest of the grizzlies team up next Luckily for you guys The parley picks are back. We took two weeks off to get better. Can you even imagine when run it back returns?

Shall we eddie? You're first Yeah, i'm betting on the goat the night lebron to go over 27 and a half points. I'm expecting the big game Uh, beetle. I'm sorry, but shams serania just broke some news and uh, I think still time to change your parlay Better if you want because yannis is coming back son of a mother Why? I knew that was gonna happen. All right. That's fine. I know shams is he's not my friend. He is not my friend Chandler I wish we could all just take eddies because 100 percent is going over that and he's gonna have a point to prove tonight And he's an experienced player and he knows that if they win this game the series is all but over but I'm gonna go the other way and I think the grizzlies are gonna learn from their mistakes I think they're gonna something out of desmond bane dillon brooks gonna be a little more efficient He's gonna be a little better. I think this is a tight game I hope the grizzlies still lose and likeers go up through but I hope it's by less than four and a half That's hateful. Uh, yeah, so there it is shams. Thanks for nothing. Where was this an hour ago? Yannis will return If you like I can search the web Yeah, well, I have heat plus six but do with that what you must
