 What's the word y'all we are back and I'm here to talk NBA finals the two teams that have performed the best and Also had the best luck cuz y'all know luck luck played a big part in this year's run I cannot deny that are finally here the two teams two out of 30 It's crazy. We the season might be over in just four games at the max is gonna be over in seven What's this kind of sad? I'm gonna I'm gonna immediately start missing basketball Even though I do love the offseason either way it is said sons versus Milwaukee Bucks I'm excited for this one because I think no matter who wins I'm gonna walk out of here happy for that team There is one team that gets a little bit more love for me because of a legendary point guard on it But you get what I'm saying the Milwaukee Bucks got so many likable dudes on the team I wouldn't even be mad if they beat Chris Paul in the finals But it is done before we talk about the finest preview Let me talk about the Atlanta Hawks because they deserve so much respect They were playing with their superstar player obviously not completely there The fact even played this game was a surprise to me. He was questioning going into it He warmed up He's like, you know, I'm gonna give it a go because we can't afford to lose this game because we lose his game The season is over and me and the guys talked about this on our podcast through the wire podcast go subscribe to that channel We're like even if Trey young is 70% 60% It's cool to have him on the court because even at 60% You know he can knock down some shots and he can be more of a decoy and that's what he was today He did try to have some takeover moments, but it just wasn't falling He struggled to take Brooke Lopez off the dribble a few times So obviously he wasn't completely there, but I he showed all of the heart. I believe that I believe that Trey young this whole season Heads went from maybe I'm out of touch. I don't really know But it seems like he went from a guy There's one of the most hated players in the NBA because of the foul drawing thing To just being beloved and I know he was a villain He was a villain this entire playoff run But I do believe that even on top of that people saw what Trey young did in his first ever playoff run and can say I like that kid I like that kid You know, he wasn't an all-star this year Technically he wasn't an all-star But I literally think that he could put up the same stats to be in the same position Next year he'll be an all-star because of this all-star or this this playoff run put him in a different altitude amongst NBA fans amongst GMs front office people coaches NBA players Because they can see what Trey young could do like the narrative around small point guards are completely changing Which is cool as As long as that small point guard has like ridiculously ridiculously ridiculously I'm out of talent on off the side of the ball But like the main reason why Trey young fails far as he did is because they're like he's small He's not going to be able to defend anybody Little did they know Hey, if you got a good general manager that could put good defenders around here You can hide him and get some majority of teams No team is out there five deep with five crazy threats and you're able to hide Trey young Which is a w Um one of the things I would have liked for the marky bucks to do in this series I can't complain because they're in the finders right now was trying to hunt Trey young a little bit more even Especially in game number six, right? You can tell he's not a hundred percent. Let's go get at him Let's get these switches to go at them. They didn't really do that Maybe some teams wake up next playoff run. I don't really know But this team showed a crazy a crazy amount of heart and you love to see it Everybody in a mama know that cam reddish can hoop but it's like His big question mark was Somewhat of his motor his dedication to the game. Listen, I need that boy to hoop I ain't even gonna lie to you. I ain't even gonna lie to you. I need that boy to who because I got a Great none of a five out of ten autograph I need him to hoop for my personal investments and he did um, which is great The Atlanta Hawks are in such a good spot again a team that was 14 and 30 Before the hiring or I guess the firing of loy pierce out to loy pierce because he's getting another opportunity as an assistant I think he might be one of those dudes that might be assisted for another eight years And he might get another chance. That's great to hear. Um, they bring a name. McMillan established He gets them an identity and that was one thing they were maybe lacking in their first 40 or something games And of course gets into the playoffs and just dominate. They're one of the few teams that were here That didn't have to go through an injury riddled team A team that was missing a star player. You think about it The new york mix were completely healthy for the most part, you know, michael robson was there But for the most part, they had their star players is what I mean Then they go against philly philly's completely healthy for the most part and then they go against milwaukee and they take it to six And and majority of that was when milwaukee star player was out there, you know So they're in such such a good spot with so many young pieces and click a pellet I'm still kind of him as a young piece I really really need to tip my hat to travis slink because he built a team that can compete now But also is growing for the future. Um enough can be said about Young players getting that playoff experience early, right? Because I think this was chris verden that said this on the show Shout to chris verden. I don't agree with a lot of the stuff chris verden says But I think that's why I enjoyed listening to him talk a lot because I can listen to him That's not I really think that's true. But this is one thing. I do think it's true When a when a player is in a losing situation for so long He starts to pick up on those on since it's really really bad habits And the alana hawks have got to the point where like their young players aren't really doing those bad habits to the extent of Some team that has been rebuilding for five six seasons and that is great, right? Deondre hunter was great this playoff run into his injury cameras came back from an injury That held him out for so long and in the biggest stage of his life He hit six threes and and helped his team almost fight back to take this to force it to game seven trey young trey young all of the bad tendencies of trey young Bad it depends on how you define bad because I can see you saying that the foul draw. I think it's bad. Um are pretty much gone You know You gotta think about Like his entire thing for his first couple years of his career is like He's a great playmaker, but he turns the ball over way too much for somebody as talented with the ball He kind of shut all of that down this playoff run and that's just such a good thing John Collins came into this season or even his playoff run as a guy that we know can potentially get buckets But how good of a defender is he? He showcased that he could be a two-way player and one thing that I really enjoyed about John Collins this playoff run was that He was allowed to run the small ball center when they needed him to and it didn't look bad One of the reasons they traded for click appellas because they didn't believe that John Collins was going to be in a position to run center And be effective defensively And he can't now i'm not saying trey click appella away because he was such a big part of the defense What i'm saying is that when you need to go small john collis can do that now I'm super super interested to see what his market is this free agency period the ellenahawks Make every rebuilding team a team that's here in year three or year four of the rebuild make all of us jealous because they elevated or or Got their timeline Done when with the rebuild thing it's time, you know And i've seen stuff like this happen not to this extent where they're in the conference finals But sometimes it can be a curse because you have such young players and you were this close And maybe you make a trade this off season that that tries to accelerate the timeline even more and in backfires I don't know I think travis slink is a super smart guy And I think he's gonna figure it out But the ellenahawks deserve a lot of praise for being in this position shout out to trey young and the guys But now let's talk about the eva final seven minutes into the video my apologies. I got a lot to say um, I look back on this Because I vividly remember Um, the second time the phoenix sons and the milwaukee bucks played against each other That was the when pj tuck was on the part of the team now um And he got called for a phantom foul with one second to go on debon booker debon booker Hit to free throw the misses the second boom. They went by one but The first time they played against each other was another crazy game where the milwaukee bucks are up by like 15 16 17 points And then the phoenix sons fight all the way back and went that way and I went back to see drew holiday didn't play in that game So maybe it's a wash But the point I'm trying to make is that the two times these teams have played against each other It has been Decided by combine two total points one possession one chris middle to shot away From the milwaukee bucks beating them in both games Which is crazy. Um, and I hope that this series Is good enough to even keep the casual fan interesting, right? Me and you are going to watch the finals because we're diehard mba fans But for the success of the league, we need this to be one that that the casual fan will tune into right? We know that this series regardless if it ends in four or five. We're here We're going to watch but for the sake of the league We need it to be um successful because I know of some casual fans. Um, and that's that's not a knock I always say this being a casual at something is not necessarily a bad thing. I said all the time. I'm a casual baseball fan I'm trying to work my way up, but I'm a casual baseball fan and that's okay But I've had conversations with casual fans because anytime somebody finds out what I do for a living They always want to talk about basketball, which is cool. I'm not saying it's wrong Sometimes I'm not in the mood. I admit, but okay talking to some casual fans about um about the playoffs and and A few of them actually because we were in the group We're like, yeah, I haven't watched much of the playoffs because well LeBron's not there Or or kevin aran is gone or just like all of the star players that have hella fans Are gone, right? So the casual fan may not be tuned in but I hope that since it is the finals They'll give it a chance They'll give it a chance because yannis is one of the best players in the league But I I don't know if yannis has a crazy amount of fans his style of play is definitely Definitely something I can see people not enjoying I'm definitely not one of those people that said that he he's done. He's unskilled because those people are crazy I'm looking at you james harden and james harden hive You know i'm saying yannis is a skilled player. Um, it's just so happening. He's also a bulldozer It's a little bit of both But I'm excited to see what this finals looks like because because yannis We don't know we don't really know about yannis's timeline, man Even today they win a chance. They win the conference finals and um people are gonna interview you got coach getting interview You got drew holiday getting interview because he had a great game today started all very hot cool down But still ended up with 27 9 9. I think I said and cast money chris took over in the whole third quarter It's going 20 plus points again So they're gonna interview and I'm just waiting for the moment for yannis to get an interview He was just like hey, I'm the 12th man on the roster me at the nazis The aunt and the kumpo brothers are just the end of the rotate. He didn't even get an interview I maybe this is because he didn't play but either way his his timeline is one of the The determinant factor of this series really Because obviously the milky bucks aren't a good team without yannis But they're I don't think they're a good enough team without yannis to win a series against a Pretty much fully healthy phoenix sons Only thing that the phoenix sons worry about is if cam johnson Can get over his cold or stomach virus or whatever anything but the coat this the c word The the virus that we can't say on this platform where you get to monetize So obviously any yannis to be there and at least be at 80 90 percent um I am happy for yannis though I I can say i'm super happy for yannis because This this is what a small market needed. Of course, like I said, there's a lot of luck in the milky bucks being here right now I'm not disputing that but still this is such a good look for The smaller markets and the team building and the smaller markets think about what how the milky bucks did this They drafted a guy I think yannis was outside of the lottery or like the last pick in the lottery either way they drafted a guy relatively late Saw the potential in him gave him the keys early on jason kia had this man running point guard At 6 9 6 10 he was still growing too had him on a point guard gave him the keys and allowed him to develop And once he started to show oh snap this dude has all start potential this dude has nvp potential Let's go do some things they already a trader for chris middleton Which one of the steals of of ever of ever think about that chris middleton has had two of his biggest games in the conference finals And now they're in the finals because of he put his team on his back I know he ain't the glamorous type. He ain't super fun to watch at times He ain't he ain't even making an all-star game this season But it's still one of the biggest steals and NBA history if you ask me because not only that they win that trade But they brought a guy that just made yannis happy Did you do you listen to the interviews of of yannis after cash money chris took over in game number three He was like i'm excited to play with this dude for another decade You know what i'm saying? So that's automatically an amazing trade because you brought you brought in a guy They can also be a co-star with your guy because they fit together so perfectly But also keep your guy happy enough that he will stay in a small market of Milwaukee I've been in Milwaukee a lot of times it's an hour drive from me It's it's a small ass city bro It really is a small city in comparison to what yannis could be going to when it comes to these big markets So they do that they draft yannis they trade for chris middleton allow those two players to develop together They draft relatively well. I know dottie diva chenzo is not here, but he was a good pickup Pack honiton is at his own in off moments, but today he was very good. That's a very good pickup The brook low pass thing does not get enough credit either Brought in brook low pass and people thought he's about to be back to the basket He started to shoot that thing. Well, I guess he started to shoot the year before he got to Milwaukee So I guess it's not true But even that pickup and then the jew holiday is the icing on the cake They gave up a lot But you have to remember they trade they didn't just trade for jew holiday They traded for jew holiday and a sign from yannis People smaller markets should look at this recipe and be like this is what we have to do somebody tweeted I mean, there's no coincidence that the two teams that are in the finals May trades to give veteran point guards this season and that's a fact Jew holiday held them down. I know he didn't have a crazy shooting series But he held them down You know chris middleton held them down Yannis brook low brook low pass Brook low pass. I know how to get to talk about this brook low pass last game But like he was the all-time leader screw on brooklyn. That's history again Bobby port is crazy eyes. Come on man So it's just just a nice little recipe. It's good to see a smaller market being in this situation What was the last time other than the LeBron team with the Cavaliers that we've seen like a smaller market team be in the finals And y'all know how to do no research here. So You could probably say like last year. It wasn't last season. I'll tell you that much. Miami in LA But it's been a minute It's definitely been a minute That's mostly because LeBron has been dominating the conference for a decade But other than that, you know, I'm saying it's been it's been a minute since we've seen a smaller market team be there And with the Phoenix Suns, I I've showed them so much praise in these past videos I don't really need to tell you why them being in this finals is amazing for them in the city I love to see uh j crowder Somewhat chugging a beer after they landed in Phoenix What time would it have to be like two o'clock in the morning in Phoenix when they landed? And they went to part heat which is good. Chris paul is sitting on top of the car Fans are trying to dab him up. He like, oh no, dog. I got I got my shot and I still got the thing I'm gonna stay away from y'all right now. Um, but overall, um, this is the big thing though for me I want to go to a finals game But I looked on those sites that have tickets. I'm not gonna say the name unless they're paying me which they should be And it's like $1,500 to be in the 300s for the finals Like I said, Milwaukee's like an hour and a half away from me I As as sad as it sounds I might not ever see my favorite team in the finals of my lifetime So is that a good investment just to be at an NBA finals? Even if it's not my team Should I spend that money? Or do I feel confident? In our tours cartney show us to eventually get the bulls to the finals in my lifetime I'm gonna have to spend that money I'm gonna have to spend that money Get the secret I gotta spend that money get to see chris paul in the finals game Oh, that's tough. Well game one starts on July 6th Um, I don't even know who are they both the two see where they both the two seed I don't even remember. Um, so who has the who has game one? Um It doesn't say here. Well, I can look it up after I'm done with this video I let me know what you think about this finals matchup, man I try young man Best scoring debuts debuts an NBA history Um playoff history a rick barry in 1967. He put up 131 points Then you got trey young 461 points and then third is devin booker at 432 points and devin booker's gonna pass trey young because devin booker still has at least four more games to play two star players That had negative connotations associated with their name and trey young and devin booker Both shut all of the critics up It's amazing to see It's amazing to see All right, that's all I really have to say. Um, I'll be back I I want to do more videos, um about this is where the bucks fans and the suns fans can leave if you want to Because we're not talking about finals anymore. This is just content creation on this channel I want to do more offseason type stuff because we're here for 28 of the 30 teams But I don't really know exactly what I want to do So let me know I had an idea I mentioned this on one of our live streams the card game streams. Luckily the card game live is ending I hated that thing and I'm not supposed to say that but here I am saying it again Um, I mentioned that I wanted to do a series. I think I wanted to make it like one big old podcast Where I talked to a fan associated with the 10 teams that didn't make the play in right 10 teams However many teams didn't make the plan and um Talk about their offseason with that fan So like I already got some green lights from some play some people I just got to schedule some times like a detroit piston fan that I know and blowing up on youtube Y'all know exactly what I'm talking about. He agreed to come on to the show. Um, okay See fan that y'all probably know who I'm talking about agreed. I got to find fans of the other eight organizations Maybe I'll get rusty for the bulls. I feel like me and rusty have different opinions about the bulls offseason I'm just spitballing. All right. I'll see y'all soon
