 What's the word y'all? I think this might be the first night in the playoffs of this season where every single game was an absolute banger. One game ended with a seven point win, a four point win and a game went and walk off three. Where do I even start? I'm gonna start here about doing a little housekeeping. I know in the last couple videos that the microphone or the audio quality hasn't been as great as you're used to. Sometimes it's crackling slash static in this one. I'm trying to fix it. I did like five tests before I started to film this video so hopefully it is fixed. And if it's not, then I'll just go by a new microphone. This microphone cost me like 350. So I don't want to replace it unless I have to and this is my last straw. So I know people have been hitting me up my apologies. I know I'm a freak when it comes to quality of video but the fact that that is happening sucks. But I will say like I'll get the video done and then notice that it's happening and I'm upset because y'all know these are genuine, genuine reactions and like I can't replicate emotion. That's why like I audition. We go get to the games, I promise. I auditioned for like some parts and some things and then I realized to myself I'm bad at trying to replicate emotion. So if you say, can you get excited? I can't get excited unless it's like really me being excited. So imagine me trying to reshoot this video where I'm talking about a Jolabee Game Winner. It won't hit the same. So if the audio quality is not up to par just know that the next one will be because I'll wrap my ass over to the guitar center and drop another 350 on the same microphone. Are you ready to get into some games? I'm starting off with Jolabee's Game Winner. You're probably expecting me to start off on another game but no, I think the Jolabee Game Winner is the one we got to speak about because boy, boy, boy, what a dominant performance from our guy Jolabee, man. James Harden fouls out I think in the fourth quarter. So they had an entire overtime when you would expect the Toronto Raptors to win. Actually at the stat right here, the 76ers never held a lead in the 48 minutes of regulation time. They played 48 minutes of basketball and the 76ers never was up by at least one point and they won this game. This is how crazy the playoffs is. All three today's games showcase how crazy the playoffs can really be, man. And I was tweeting about this. You know, sometimes I'd be laughed through the games or whatever and I tweeted, wow, Jolabee is ridiculous after the first step back three that he hit. Bro had hit a couple step back threes. We talked about a seven foot dude that everybody just said, not everybody, but you know, the biggest criticisers are saying that man, he ain't nothing without his free throws and he showcased today. Like, yeah, getting to the free throw line does help because he had nine free throws, which is I guess less than what we've even seen for the entire series, but he can do it all over the court. Just a complete dominant performance from him, man. Toronto, I feel bad, man, because like I said, you held the lead for pretty much 48 minutes of basketball or held the leader tied, but man, this game is eerily similar to the Brooklyn Nets game on the Toronto Raptor side because you had everybody else. The role player stepped up for Toronto and the role player stepped up for the Brooklyn Nets today but it was the star players and that's Pascal Siakham and Fred Van Vleet put up stinkers in this one and then practically ended the series, man. There's been no team in NBA history to overcome a 0-3 lead in winning the series. There's been a few, I'm looking at it right now. There've been a few to come back and force a game seven but they all run out of gas, man. But I guess Doc Rivers on the other side and you know, Doc Rivers' reputation on 3-1 lead so maybe he's going ahead and making history. No, man, the 76ers feel like they got this one completely tied up but I gotta show love to Ogyana Nobi. Like I said before in the previous video, the guy's just a straight up playoff performer. It seems like every game he's just scooping his butt off and I actually saw a tweet that's a bit interesting about Ogyana Nobi, bro. Let me see if I can find the tweet or find the statistic myself. So according to Statmuse in the games where Scotty Barnes doesn't play it's only been six with Ogy has played. He averages 26 points per game and I don't know if that accounts for today's game because this might be just a regular season thing but Ogyana Nobi is an absolute hooper. Now, if you watch my podcast, you know at the beginning of the season we were ranking every player or every position and I had Ogyana Nobi at like the number eighth, number ninth, small four in the entire NBA because I was projecting that he was going to take that huge leap. And though he didn't take that huge leap because health is always a big thing for Ogyana Nobi I see it all the time, whether it be games like this or games where Scotty doesn't play where he has more responsibility of him hooping but he's a guy that seems like he's very confident in himself and he understands that, hey, I might not get 18 shots on a normal basis but I know if I dig at 18 shots I can put up a 30 piece and that's what he's been doing, man. I can't be mad at pressure to chew it even though he had the two free or he missed the two free throws that would have iced this game because he was phenomenal today. It was like a breakout performance if you want to call that. He was great. This team was not projected to even be in this spot. So the fact that they're down no three it might get eliminated or we'll probably get eliminated. We'll get eliminated. It's not that big of a deal, man. But I want to show a lot of love to Philadelphia 76ers, bro. There was, I want to show love to Doc Rivers too. You know, like I said, he has the most three one leads blown in NBA history. The Twitter opinion slash average NBA fan opinion of Doc Rivers is completely different than like his peers, I guess. Cause if you didn't know, Doc Rivers was ranked one of the top 15 coaches of all time. Like that's a real thing. But I got to give him his flowers even though, you know, we got the criticism about his blown leads and we got the criticism about his rotation because the last play at the end of the fourth core or the end of the overtime was magnificent. I don't know how the hell they confused Toronto enough to get Joel and B wide open on the shot that he had hit a couple of times already today. That's a lot of Doc Rivers. I got to give the credit to, to Mr. Doc. I did see a lot of Raptors fans tweeting that me people were tweeting that me screenshots of the NBA referee handbook. Because if you didn't know, so on this play where Joel and B got tied up with one second to go on the shot clock with two seconds left in the game, you see what Doc Rivers is, bro was past half court, past his bench and almost sending next to Nick Nurse to get this time out call. And people were sending me screenshots of that being illegal, literally. Like there's something in the handbook that say that the coach can't leave his own box or whatever, whatever. And if he does, it results in a technical foul and a free throw for the opposing team. And I understand why you would tweet me that or just be upset about that being a rule and nobody enforcing it because, hey, your season's on the line and your season practically ended with that next shot. You know how he got that time out. But still, I gotta give a lot of love to JoJo because, wow, what an absolute shot, man. We're completely blessed to have this many talented slash very good big men in the NBA right now. And you know what, I'm gonna say I have enjoyed Tobias Harris recently. I know he only ended with 11 points but the defense has been there. You don't pay $35 million a year for somebody to average 11 and good defense, but I'm just saying for Tobias to be, like I'm enjoying the way he's playing. I wouldn't pay him $35 million to do this, but if you get rid of the contract and just look at the player, I think he's doing okay. And then he had a game earlier in the series where he was scoring more. So I think he's just fitting into his role and right now as long as he's not selling, then you're good. So shout out to the 76ers, man. Joel and B say he's going for that sweep and he might get it. I don't know, man. The Air Canada Center, is this still that? Oh my God, it might not even be that anymore. I was bumping. It was bumping for the majority of this game. So maybe they don't get the sweep. Maybe they do, but regardless, it looked like they go in that series. Let's talk about Boston because boy, boy, boy. That defense, we knew this, man. This was no surprise, bro. We've been talking about this defense for three months now, but people wonder how this defense fair against two of the most purest bucket getters of all time. T-Max said they're the most skilled duo in NBA history. And Wade and LeBron said, yeah, I agree with that. And I guess I would agree with it too. When it comes to pure basketball skill, being able to get a bucket, there's not too many people in NBA history that have the size of a carry-over that can do what he do. And there's not many people in NBA history that can do what Kevin Durant does. Both of those players got clamped up. And Kevin Durant is having, I don't know if I've ever seen off the top. I know there's that one graphic of Kevin Durant shooting slump and it's crazy, but other than that, I don't have like a memory of Kevin Durant playing this bad. He ended with 27 points because he got to the free throw line 20 times, but shooting four for 17, he ended with five assists, but six turnovers and five fouls. He was in Alcatraz and that was a heavy dose of Jason Tatum. I meant to talk about this in the first game recap, but it somehow slipped my mind at how great of a defensive monster Jason Tatum has been in this series so far. Dude is incredible. And today he didn't even have his best score tonight, but if he hung his head on the defensive side of the ball and told Kevin, no, you're not doing that. I vividly remember him getting that block on KD late in his game. Another stat, the net's first bucket in the fourth quarter came with 11 minutes and 38 seconds on the clock. And that extended their lead by seven. They wouldn't score again to six, 42 left. And then our next bucket after that was 346. They went on a huge, huge slump. And this is a lot to do with Steve Nash. It's a lot to do with Kevin, of course, not being able to hit his shots today or being clamped up. This has to do with Cary Irvin as well. But early in this game, bro, it felt like there was a lot of ball movement. We got a lot of Seth Curry, catch his shoots, he even had a couple dribble pull-ups he had. You know what I'm saying? One dribble to the set, three point shots. Bruce Brown started off hot scoring the first nine points of the game and he was doing his thing. And then we got to that fourth quarter and Boston started going his little run and then it was like, all right, now we're strictly isolation. I'll just listen. I'm never, ever, ever gonna tell Kevin Durant or Cary Irvin they shouldn't be isolated. But I will say the shot's not going. How about we go back to what was working for the first two and a half quarters, you know? They were up by, I think, 18 points in this one. When they were allowing Bruce Brown to do his thing on the short roll and hit his threes, three out of four for Bruce Brown from three is legendary. You need to win that game. Or when they were allowing Seth Curry to move around and get to the point where he was catching the shooting. But the fourth quarter was so isolation heavy. I hate it. And it's not just a Brooklyn-esque thing. Like we see this in the NBA all the time. You know, teams are running good sets and boom, boom, boom. Then we get to the last possession of the game and they're like, okay, put the ball in our best player's hand and let him do his thing. It didn't work today. And a lot of that is credited to the Boston Celtics because that defense was ridiculous. People were wondering, is this defense that was the best of all time? If you get rid of the first two months of basketball, is it really that nice? And through the first two games of the series, it has been, it legit has been, where yeah, you had to carry Irving game and game number one, but other than that, nobody else has been able to get anything going on the Brooklyn that side of the ball offensively. And then also, like I said, there's a game where Jason Tatum and like he struggled. He didn't have a good offensive game, but you had Jalen Brown stepping up late in the third quarter in the fourth quarter. Al Horford has been amazing in the series so far. And Daniel Tice, me and my fiance, were watching this game in the front room and she said, that's Daniel Tice, right? I said, yeah. And as I said, that he hit all backboard on the shot. And I don't know if he missed another shot after that. Great defense, hitting his shots. We got to give our credit to the bench as well, because it's been one of the things that has been about the Boston Celtics. The defense was great. The start of five was great. But after that, what did we get? Well, today we got Peyton Pritcher hitting a bunch of shots. Today we got Grant Williams having a near perfect basketball game. 17 points, four for four from the field. Three from three from three. Six or six from the free throw line. Six rebounds. No assist, because why would he pass the ball? He's there to shoot shots and play good defense. And he did that two blocks. I'm set out to the homie, Grant Williams. This was just an amazing performance by the Boston Celtics showcasing to the world. We don't need to hide from anybody. We'll face anybody, whether it be in the next round or whatever. The series is far from over, obviously. But these are statement wins, if you ask me. Because this Brooklyn Nets team is one that a lot of people pick to win this series. Or a lot of people pick to make a run. And you made them look trash. I know it's a close one. But you made them look trash when the minutes mattered the most. And that was that fourth quarter. And you did it in the last game as well. You've made the best score in the NBA. Maybe the best score of all time. Look average. I mean, I don't know what to say other than that. So, set out to him, man. I need the Brooklyn Nets to fight a little bit harder. Man, I'm loving this series so far. I can't, it can't end like this, bro. It can't be no complete sweep type thing. No, I'm not, Kevin and Ryan and Kyrie not going with a sweep. But they have to win a couple games, bro. They're going back home. And they got to keep that two at home. And then it's basically a new series. But I don't know, bro, the way Boston is playing. And you know what? Before this series started, people were showing the graphics of the Brooklyn Nets clutch offense, which was like top five in the entire league. And the Boston Celtics clutch offense. And it was like bottom five in the NBA. And people were like, man, you better hope Boston beat them by 40 every night because if it gets to a close game, they don't stand a chance. And both of these games have been very, very close within the one or two possessions down to the wire. And Boston have won these. And I was trying to explain to people on the pod and in our group chats and our parties that those stats you're seeing from the Boston Celtics are extremely skewed because they played a majority of their clutch games in the first half of the season, the first two months of the season where they were asked. So yeah, their clutch offense numbers looked terrible because they had games where they were giving up 20 point leads in fourth quarters. They didn't even play enough clutch games in the second half of the season because they was dominating by 20 every night. I believe that those clutch numbers wasn't a good indication of what they could be in the clutch. And they haven't been so far. So shout out to the Boston Celtics. And let's talk about the Bulls, man. The Bulls even up a series. We still home court advantage, bro. Which is dope, man. This was a great feeling basketball game for me, man. It's been a long time. Like I've mentioned this plenty of times in this channel before, it's five years, six years since the Bulls have been in the playoffs. And I'm just so excited they're even here. So anything that is a win just feels great. You know what I'm saying? And the Bulls, I guess I can say this confidently even though they lost game one, they've outplayed the Bucks this series. I know again, I know they lost game one, but I believe that they've outplayed the Bucks this series. And I don't think this is gonna last because I do believe that the Bucks are the better team. I hope Chris Middleton is not injured, injured. I don't wish injury on anybody even if you are the opponent right now. I like Chris Middleton, he's one of my guys. So I hope he is healthy. I hope Bobby Porridge is gonna be eye after the scratch to the eye or whatever it may be. But like people expecting me to be like jumping off the roof or tweeting videos of me screaming into the camera. Nah, bro. You know what I'm saying? I'm excited for sure. I'm happy that we won this game, but it's not, it's a game in the best of seven series. Imagine me, ah, and then we lose the next three. Like, why, what was that even for? You know what I'm saying? Like I'm saying, I'm still enjoying it, but I don't need to be out there acting crazy. Shout out to DeMar, man, because after game number one, people were tweeting the DeMar, the Frozen thing. Actually, hold on. The people that commentated this game. On national TV, TNT had the worst chemistry I've seen in a nationally televised game. Tell me I'm wrong. They had the worst chemistry. And one of the dudes was calling DeMar, the Rose, DeMar, the Frozen. Like it was a damn compliment. DeMar, the Frozen is, bro, that's not a compliment, my boy. They making fun of DeMar. He said it like 90 times, because DeMar, the Rose was really taking over that game. Shout out to him. Every time he had a shot, the Frozen, the Frozen, he's ice cold. No, bro, they call him that because he be ice cold. In the other way, not Trey Young cold, but like, damn, I'm over six cold. So whoever's commentating this game, don't put these two bros on. Don't put them on TV together, bro. I'm not saying that they not getting their job, but them two together could not happen. There was a lot of times it was literally dead airspace, where somebody's at the free-throw line and there was nothing being said. And I thought I was watching a damn baseball game. I thought I was watching a baseball game. Nobody giving me no color commentary. We not going satellite reporting. It's just like, what is happening in this one? But the Bulls went huge, huge recovery game from Nicola Vucevitz. You know, in game one, Vucevitz wasn't bad. He just didn't shoot it great. Today he shot it great and the rebound was there in the defensive school. Listen, there's nobody in this league right now, at least on the Bulls roster that can stop Giannis. But they gave him hell. They gave him hell. They did not let those points come easy. He ended up with 18 total free-throw attempts. I didn't even realize it was that many. It felt like a lot, but I didn't think it was that many. And due to games, bro, Chris had a couple of shots down the stretch before he went out with this injury that made me kind of grimace a little bit because I think at one point we were up by 18 and we only ended up winning by four regardless. He had some shots, he got injured and Drew Hawley hasn't been himself either and they're getting little to no bench production. A lot of that is because Bobby Porter just got injured very early on and he is there bench production. But the Bulls have to take advantage. Similar to what I said about the Pelicans yesterday. When a player goes down, that don't mean you just go necessarily win the game. You still have to take advantage and the Bulls did that. Patrick Williams was great today, bro. We talked about him being afraid of the moment and afraid to take the shots and gain number one, not today. Zach Levine played his role. He played like a role player. That's not a knock, because that's what we needed him to do today. He was hella efficient. He wasn't trying to force the thing like we sometimes see the Martin world, Zach Levine do, especially when the other teams are on the run. He think that, oh, I got to go do it myself. He did not do that today. He went to the storm, but the real MVP, of course, the Martin Rosa at 41 and he deserves all the love right now. Alice Caruso is a absolute menace. What a game from Alice Caruso, a 9.10 assist game. You would have thought that he was an all defensive player, which he might've been if he didn't get injured and missed 40 games of the season. He was all over the place, bro. He ended with two blocks, two steals. It was way more than that, bro. He was incredible. Possessors where he was guarding Drew. Possessors where he was guarding Chris. Possessors when he was stopping Yanis. Like he was ridiculous. And it felt like anytime he wasn't on the floor, the Bulls let the other team go on the run because that's, he is our defensive player at this point. Like legitimately, he's our defensive everything at the moment. So when he went out of the game to get his little breather, I was, I was grammasome, bro. Because I was like, hey, there ain't no way we can stop the Bucks if they get that momentum. But we did, bro. That momentum, and I think it was late third quarter, early fourth quarter, scared me quite a bit. Well, you pulled out that victory, man. Pulled out that victory. I guess neither of the teams had much bench production, but I'm happy that the Bulls won this game, bro. You know what's wild. I just, so, do I want to tell a story? I'm going to tell a story. Somebody in my family this morning texted me and said, put 300 on the Bulls money line right now. At that point, the Bulls were a plus four, 10, I think to win the game. I didn't do it. Cause I didn't think the Bulls would win. I'm like, you know what I'm saying? I love my Bulls, but I'm also a realistic basketball fan. And the Bucks are a better basketball team. And $300, a lot of money to be betting on something you don't even personally believe in. I think the payout was a stack and 200s, I think, I think. And now I regret not being able to do it though, or not doing it, bro. That would have been crazy, bro. We would have been up, everybody would have been feasting. We've been at stake for everybody, but I'm happy, man. This was a great three slate of games. I'm excited to see how the Bucks retaliate. Again, I hope that Chris Middleton is healthy. They said that he's going in for testing tomorrow. I think maybe tomorrow, Thursday, my days are blending together. He's going in for testing. So I hope that comes back good enough where he's not done for the series or something like that. And yeah, bro, what a slate of games, bro. Let me know which one of these games is your favorite. Appreciate you. Peace.
