 What's the word y'all? Oh my god. I cannot be more excited to record a video last time we did a post game video It was six minutes long because there was nothing to talk about that the Lakers had dominated the first two games of the finals But ladies and gentlemen the heat have hurt and they come out in game three Jimmy Butler has the best game of his NBA career I'm literally rocking the Jimmy Butler shirt I could not help myself and I'm excited to talk about basketball with y'all right here on my side today's my 24th birthday, so there's my festive things from from my stepmother shout out to her Beautiful beautiful stuff that like she made this which is incredible. So shout out to her. I Have to reiterate this because I know there are going to be some people watching this video that don't know who I am I'm just pops up in your recommend. I have to say I am not a fan of the Lakers or the heat I am a a neutral basketball fan in this NBA finals. All I want is as many games as possible That's all I'm asking for as a fan of basketball Am I crazy for just one of the maximum amount of games because I know that we won't get another basketball game for a couple months So I just I just wanted the series to be competitive We've been doing these post game videos for the entirety of the of the finals and the first two episodes It wasn't really anything to talk about the last video literally was seven minutes long because I only think I can say was Anthony Davis was unstoppable The Lakers were dominating LeBron was LeBron Dough had a pair of of Kobe PE zone from Reebok There was all I can say for the seven minute video and we basically just talking about like oh snap This series is actually not as fun as we thought it was gonna be and here we go. We have a series It's at least going to five and that is something I am happy about I'm also happy that Jimmy baller had the best game of his career today It took all of it. It took all of the best game of his career for them to win So that could be saying something in itself You know I'm saying that could be saying something to self But either way they got the victory they got the victory and sometimes I try to do this It's hard to do this But I would recommend this if you're just trying to watch a basketball game And you just don't don't really know what to do try to look at it as a fan That has never watched the game of basketball before that don't know who LeBron is that don't know who Anthony Davis Jimmy Butler is and try to see who the best player on the court is today It was Jimmy Butler undoubtedly a 40-point triple double I mean a box score says it all but the moments in the game said it was Jimmy Butler It had to be it started off very early when Anthony Davis Get into foul trouble and that foul trouble got into a mentally and he was as not as aggressive as you would want Anthony Davis to be for the first two games in a series We were really having a conversation of who's gonna be finals MVP LeBron or Anthony Davis and well LeBron still had a normal LeBron s game Anthony Davis did not And what I saw a lot on Twitter and my mentions because I do live tweet these shows at KLT for a cue if you want to follow me If you don't already I Saw a decent amount of Lakers fans blaming the referees for this and it's just I have never understood it This is not I'm not just saying Lakers fans because this happens all the time when your favorite team loses a game in your brain The refs missed a call there and oh my god, Jimmy Butler got another one. Oh my god Anthony Davis only went to the free-throw line a few times Anthony Davis didn't do anything this game It wasn't because of the referees were hoeing him on out of some files. He just wasn't aggressive It was the referees but LeBron traveled to possesses in the road those were legitimate travels The this is what I have to say There are situations where the refs miss calls. It's it's gonna happen because it is a man Made job it is based on your eye at the end of the day and humans make errors So yes, you're gonna miss calls. You're gonna call phantom calls. It's part of the game Now what you really have a conversation with is if all of those phantom calls are going against your favorite team Or your favorite team can't get anything in this game. It was pretty evenly called It was not again. There's no such thing as a perfectly called game, but it was even and that's all you can ask for the refs Jimmy Butler has had this thing for this season and actually the last season he played for the Bulls where he had to have an innate ability to draw fouls He's not on the level of James Harden, but he's right there a like number two in the league and drawing fouls This is what he does. It's actually kind of an art shirts an art that slows down a game And maybe not great for the viewing aspect, but he has always been that this is not they just started to give Jimmy Butler Fouls and game three He has always been the type of player to draw a bunch of fouls and it was amplified since he's been in Miami And it was amplified his last year in Chicago So the referees didn't have anything to do with this if you go look at all five I think in number five four files of Anthony Davis only one that I saw that was questionable and guess what Frank Vogel kept him in a Game it wasn't like they called that foul and he had to go to the bench for ten minutes He stayed and played the entirety of the rest of that third quarter and that was ten minutes He was on that court He just wasn't aggressive that is not the referee's fault. That was his fault at the end of the day The Miami he came out with the game plan We're gonna run this zone all like we use it like we usually do but this time I will actually no no we're gonna run a lot of man But this time we're not switching everything when Duncan Robison gets put in the P&R like he had been throughout this entire series We're just not gonna switch it We're not you're not gonna go out there and how Duncan Robison because we know he is the weakest link on the defensive side of the Ball so we need everybody else around him to fight as hard as they can through these screens So we don't have to switch and they did that they last game they got killed on the glass Anthony Davis was killing them They shut all of that down today and at the end of the day you add those up good defensive scheme Good boxing out no offensive rebounds given up in a Jimmy Butler 40 point triple W. Have yourself a victory Now can you can you mimic that for another game in another game in another game is the real question? If you really want to win this series, but overall as a fan of basketball This has been the best finals game this year and that's all we wanted We didn't want it to be blowout after blow out me sure Lakers fans probably wanted it because it's an easy ring But the other fans that are not associated with these two teams We just wanted good game after good game in the first for the first time we have a really good game It's beautiful. It is really beautiful today The Lakers almost put it off though Marquise Morris Marquise Morris is either a player that's hitting all net or nothing at all backboard air balls Whatever today he hit a lot of shots, but he also air ball like three or four in the last episode of this wrap-up Do y'all remember I was sent my boy Mike was like man They don't call him Danny green or they don't call Danny green dead shot for no reason and I make the joke that yes They do let me see. I don't know what he ended up with as far as three-point shooting Oh for Ford didn't even put up a field goal. He had some to he had two free throws didn't put up a field Go Anthony Davis finish was 15 unacceptable for you for the player that at one point was looked at to be the final MVP favorite 15 points and again no matter the files. He's still in a plant 32 minutes I think he played 35 last game with no foul trouble So he played three less minutes was those three minutes really the reason no because when he was on the court They were minus 26 They didn't come out to play and it was very apparent from the very minute very first minute in the game There's no reason for the Miami Heat to come out and clamp you up to that extent in the first quarter Especially with all the struggles they had in game one and game two Clamp you up for the first quarter and you guys not be able to score It's just it just doesn't happen But at the end of the day, this is this is what happens in game of basketball, right? Some games you're going to be on and some games you're not what I want to look at is the three-point percentage The Lakers shot over 30% for the first time and caught a L the streak is dead They shot 33% today and a lot of that was more keep Morris five threes and Kuzma had a good game for them as well But that was pretty much it. Let me LeBron LeBron had a good game. Don't get me wrong It just wasn't a LeBron less let's win this game three-time game, which is cool You know I'm saying he had been that for the first two games, so I'm not tripping over that Especially since I mean the Miami Heat ended up getting his victory. So Kelly Olin it The minutes we got a Myers Leonard. I think they did a pretty good job today I think they did a pretty good job Eric Sposha also threw a double at Anthony Davis and very early in this game We saw Iggy get thrown on to AD and it actually worked relatively. I mean it was a pretty good decision Jay Crowder had been getting killed Kelly Olinic had been getting killed my slender in the small amount of minutes from game two was getting killed So it was like listen Iggy had the reputation of clamping up some of the greatest players of all time finals MVP remember that Depending on who you ask He depending on who you ask Tells you if he clamped LeBron up in that finals or whatever he has your reputation as is being a very smart Logical great defender, so we're gonna throw him on Anthony Davis and he didn't allow Anthony Davis to get to the pain area granted Anthony Davis is one of the great mid-range shooters of all time, so Even having him in the mid-range area is not the greatest But they kept him out of the lane where he is the most dominant There's a period of time late in the third quarter where Anthony Davis hit one of the toughest turn around double team shots I have ever seen and then the next possession he got like a slam dunk put back and I was like, okay This is what they need to come back. This is exactly what they need They need Anthony Davis to ramp it up He got one more shot for the remainder of the quarter than that felt like it There had to be a time where as the leaders of the team of LeBron and Rondo the floor generals of the team were like We have to get Anthony Davis involved. We cannot win a game if Anthony Davis is not involved That's just a fact. They don't have enough Surrounded pieces if Anthony Davis does not have a great game It's they're going to struggle to win the game So I was hoping that LeBron like get down there Get down there and give him a post-touch and let him do a stink and let him do a stink But it just it just didn't happen to that extent. I'm happy to see Jimmy Butler do his thing He was talking trash, which maybe not the best. You don't talk trash to LeBron James It just doesn't work out in your favor most of the time Maybe Jimmy Butler's plan against the odds. I mean, it's what he's done all season So maybe it does help him out because he said they're in trouble now They're in trouble now it took me to drop 40 points in the triple double, but they are in trouble now So shout to exposter the Miami Heat team Um Jair Smith gas and PT and Jair Smith loves that corner step to the side I'm almost out of bounds throw the ball up and you know what? He hits it a decent amount of time So I'm not complaining about it, but he missed like two of them I'm trying to I'm looking at the box for to see if there's anything else to remind myself We talked about Kelly Olenek how he was pretty solid defensively Duncan Robison was trying that they were trying to get Duncan Robison, but they struggled with that and Tyler hero another another good game from Tyler Timely buckets from Tyler hero. How about that? He had the end one at the very end of it That was kind of like the icer so he didn't shoot the ball well, but he had timely buckets And I guess you can decide which one is more important at the end of the day This was a good defensive scheme and a bunch of Jimmy butler, which is great because if you remember the last series when the when these The Celtics were starting to have this comeback And it was a real question of if they might he would be able to close that out One of the things that me and my guys talked about on my podcast that's through the wire podcast You can look that up on House of Highlights Google Podcasts and all the other platforms we were like man We want Jimmy Butler to be more aggressive There was games or he had like 11 total shots and he hit like seven of them So how are we finishing that you're hitting it at a good clip We need you to be more aggressive and with no BAM and no Gorand Rodgers He had no choice but to put it into overdrive. I don't know if this is something he can mimic for game for I Don't know if it will be because again 40 point triple double is one of the all-time greatest performances in the NBA finals It is we haven't spoiled about LeBron James I can say that LeBron has a couple of performances on this tier and above it But from somebody did not name LeBron James is one of the greatest playoff performances ever But I don't know can he mimic that for another game I bet he nation hopes he can and you know what I kind of hope he can too So we can really have a conversation about this series because at this point in time I would still pick the Lakers to win it all But that could change that could change and I think that's all I have to say about this If you enjoyed the video leave it a like subscribe here a new let me know if you're your overall Perspective of this series has changed if you're not a Lakers fan, you're not a he fan I know he fans are in cloud now, and I know Lakers fans are probably still feeling pretty good You know it took one of the worst games of Anthony Davis's playoff life Literally literally playoff life for them to catch a L I mean he's averaging like 30 points in the playoffs throughout his career He scored half of that today, so it literally took one of his worst games ever For the heat to get a win Either way, hopefully enjoyed it. I'll be back. Maybe tomorrow. I really don't know this there's no schedule here I just upload when I feel like I want to talk. All right. Bye
