 What's the word y'all? I read back man. Game number three was good. You know, as a neutral fan, I'm gonna join this NBA final so far. We got a couple different stretches throughout this one. It was a lot of green for the show. A lot of runs by the Boston Celtics. Jalen Brown comes out initially setting the tempo with 17 points in the first quarter and in perfect Jalen Brown's fashion, he ended with 27. He ended with 27. Jalen Brown, you know, he can score him bunches and then he not go cold cause he still ended up nine for 16 but he just be, at that point he's like, you know what, I did my part. Let me go clamp up and there are a lot of possessions in this game where it's like one-on-one defense with him and Wiggs, one-on-one defense between him and Steph Curry and he clamped up. He understood that his job was to set the momentum and then play some defense. And then, you know, it's all green for the majority of it and then we get to the third quarter. I don't know what the hell be happening in the Boston Celtics locker room but third quarters are not in their favor. We get to the third quarter in the avalanche that is the golden state Warriors ramp up. Steph Curry's doing his thing. They're still dropping on the pick and roll and Steph Curry's hitting the shots. And then we get to the fourth quarter and the second time in these three games, I guess we can call it a collapse by the golden state Warriors. 11 points in a fourth quarter is dreadful. And we're gonna talk about all of those things but before we do, let me talk to you about my sponsor, Prize Picks. Listen, man, there's only a couple more games left of the NBA season. There might just be two. Listen, I don't really know. Hit that link in the description and download the Prize Picks app and use Coke candy because they're matching all the pods up to $100 for new players. Like there might just be two games left for the NBA season. I don't really know but it's okay because it's deeper than basketball here. You got the MLB, WNBA, PGA, you got tennis, you got eSports. There's so many things you can make an entry on. The way this works, you pick some of your favorite athletes. You pick a statistic like assists and you decide whether you believe that athlete is gonna go over or under on their assists. Today I made an entry. I admit I did not succeed because I thought Jordan Poole was gonna give us a better performance but he did not. It actually was very hard to watch. His threes were at 1.5 and he ended with one. So I did not win my entry today but I'm back at it for game number four and you can be too. Hit that link in the description to download prize fix. Use code Kenny and get into it. I think the worst thing about all of this if you're a Warriors fan, it's not the fact that you lost this game because it's basketball, it's a seven game series. Being down 2-1 ain't as bad as you know, it could have been worse, right? The worst thing about it is in the last couple minutes of this game, Steph Curves in the bottom of a dog pal. Like somebody just had a game when his shot and he was just jumping on top of each other and he tweaked his ankle a little bit. You know, Al Horford got on top of it and he walked around, he leapt around and there's not that big of a gap between game one and game two, it was like three days. Between game two and game three, it was like three days. And now the next game is like in a couple of nights, bro. So it's not a ton of time for Steph Curry. I am hoping, again, as a new true fan and he is okay because he's been a pleasure to watch. He's been dominating through three games. And of course y'all know, if bro was injured, series. You feel me? If bro was injured, series. You don't win without Steph Curry and his fascism. All right, so there are a lot of things to talk about, man. And I'm gonna start off on the place that I hate talking. I know it was the title of my video, but you know, clicks and I was successful in getting those clicks. Referring, right? Referring was not good in this game, but I will not go out and say it was Celtics in the refs versus the warriors of vice versa. What I have noticed is that the neutral family we are watching this game, we can acknowledge when the refereeing is bad. But one thing we will see is that it don't look like it's one way or another. That was my interpretation of today's games. Maybe you disagree, but it didn't feel like that it was Celtics in refs versus warriors. And that's why the warriors lost. But in my mentions, every single night, every single time somebody's favorite team loses, it's, damn, the rest are against us today. When in reality, I think they're just bad. They're just bad. They're gonna miss calls and the call for them calls. It's just the reality of these things. And the fact that Steph Curry wasn't foul trouble, the fact that Wiggins wasn't foul trouble, the fact that Draymond Green fouled out is not entirely on the referees. Yeah, maybe Steph Curry got one more foul than he deserved, but still that's just a game of basketball. It's just the way it is. The referee was not good, but that's not the reason why the Golden State Warriors lost this game because when we got to that fourth quarter, and we're gonna talk more than just the fourth quarter because we had a whole 48 minutes worth of basketball. But when we got to that fourth quarter, I'm not, again, I say this all the time when I'm talking about coaches, I will never be able to understand the game of basketball on the level that is Steve Curry. The man has a bunch of championships as a player, got a bunch of championships as a coach. She is way more knowledgeable in the game of basketball than I am. But as an outside when I'm watching this fourth quarter and watching Robert Williams and Grant Williams go out there and get every single offensive rebound and turn it to open market smart three or turn it to adjacent eight and drive to the basket. I can't help but to look at Kevon Looney who plays sub 20 minutes and be like, why is he not out there? Especially, I'm sorry, I'm getting my hair done later tomorrow morning, so it's all over the place. Especially when the guy that's supposed to be the anchor, the new five in this small ball lineup, Drake Montgomery is playing as bad as he did today. We get to the fourth quarter, the ball is being thrown around like they don't know what basketball is. Turn over after turnover after turnover for the goal to stay worse, trying to throw it up with three seconds into the 24 seconds as to turnover. And then now the Boston Celtics have four straight possessions because they're getting all the offensive rebounds. We talked about the end of game two that I was hoping that Robert Williams is okay and in reality he's not, but you saw bits and pieces of the impact that was him. He was dominant in the whatever minutes he got today. And a lot of that is because it's like Otto Porter. Who is it? Otto Porter, Gary Payton, the second, Clay Tops, and Steph Curry, and Draymond. He's killing the glass. And then he even got to the point where E-May Yudoku was like, I'm kind of digging this offensive rebound thing. Big ow, get back in the game. And now we got four or five lobs because they're getting second chance points. I don't know how you could go four minutes with this small lineup of the worst and see the same four minutes that I saw and be like, Kevon Looney don't need to play right now. I believe that Kevon Looney's minutes should be close to mirrored with Robert Williams at the bare minimum because the man Kevon Looney damn that single handedly won them two series by him rebounding the ball. And second chance points is one of the main reasons why they lost today's game. So it was just weird to me to see Kevon Looney twiddling his thumbs on the sideline when the other team is running big and getting the rebounds. And listen, Draymond, I don't even know what else I could really say about Dray. This was another one of the worst games that I've seen from him. And he's always been a dude that like the countless stacks never tell the full story of Draymond Green's impact. He was a net negative tonight. And there has not been a ton of times in Draymond's career as far as when he blossomed into like a all star caliber player where I could say that when it was like big time games he was a legitimate net negative. That's hard. It was hard to watch him go out there and not do nothing but talk to the referees about a missed call or the fact that he didn't foul somebody. Draymond, bro, you are foul. And gee, even if you didn't foul this possession you closed last somebody too possessive going you to get called for it. So maybe it's okay that you get this foul. Draymond has to be more composed. I think that he let the crowd get into his head in the bigger moments. And I don't know what the hell happens on this podcast tonight. I'm actually very curious to see everything that is said in this one because he had a terrible performance. And in this game where you get Steph Curry again continuing his dominance with him ending up with 31 points. And you get Clay Thompson having his first great game of the finals, they needed more from you. And more from Draymond Green don't necessarily mean he need to score 15 points. It's like be better. This might have been the worst offensive game they've had. Marcus Smart is sneaking passes defenders for like ducking layups and stuff. That's not the Warriors basketball that got them to this point. And if they wanted chance to win the series they got to step it up because in this game Jason Tatum put it together. In the end of game number two, I said if we can get the playmaking that we got in game one of Jason Tatum and the tough shot making that we got in game two of Jason Tatum in one game it's gonna be hard to win the game if you're the opposing team. And we got that. This is about as composed I've seen Jason Tatum in a minute. Well, I guess not really because in game number one he was doing this. He was drawing in all of the defense and kicking it out to his shooters and his shooters were making shots magnificently. Magnificently. And then from one of the few times in this series they had hunted and successfully did it. Steph Curry was caught on the island. And for the most part of the series for the vast majority of the series I would say Steph Curry has been a positive defender. He's held his all once he did get the switches but today with him being in foul trouble it's harder to defend when you're in foul trouble. Objectively. Him, Wiggs, Dremont can't give the best version themselves when they're in foul trouble but I'm not about to sit here and watch all the fouls that they were giving I would assume that majority of the fouls that they were credited to were deserving. So when me seeing them in foul trouble was one of the reasons why they couldn't defend. I'm not blaming the referees especially when you get to play with Steph Curry coming down court and you put his hand in the cookie jar on Marcus Smart. I didn't think that was a shooting foul but damn sure it was a reach in foul at the bare minimum. Things like that. And he got in foul trouble very, very early on. And you can't defend at your best potential when you have to think about the fact that oh, I got four fouls and I'm also the superstar player of this team. I can't afford five in the third quarter so Jason Tatum trying to get by me. Gotta let him do his thing and we just gotta live with it. And that's the way they played this entire second half. And when you put that with the offensive rebounding you put that with the good level of defense from the boss of Celtics. This was a recipe for the Celtics to win basketball games. And this was a complete flip of the switch from what we saw in game number two where in game number two it just felt like the physicality that the Warriors were throwing at the boss of Celtics were too much. And this one, it was the flip side. You got the physicality from the boss of Celtics. You got the hustle from the boss of Celtics and you did not see that with the Warriors. You know, we talked about very early on that one of the main things that's gonna determine this entire series is the turnover battle. And in this one, turnovers to the Golden State Warriors, 16, turnovers to the boss of Celtics, 12. And then when you think about second chance points, you think about points off turnovers, that is the reason why you lose this game, man. And again, you go into the fourth quarter with all of this momentum and then it just gets cut off, man. I'm waiting for them to upload the play-by-play. Like I said, the game literally just ended. So they have, they uploaded it. Hey, shout out to the NBA, man. Shout out to the NBA because they fast-witted. Let me go find some clips that I want to talk about. I think that the first foul is the one with the ifeus. You know, let me hit that mute because that's how the NBA catch you. This first foul is the one that has the ifeus. He does put a little bit of body on Jalen right here and he gets called for that foul. But I think that's probably a continuation and you don't call that and just let the ball play. But other than that, I think it's third foul maybe somewhat questionable, but it's just like such bang-bang plays in most cases. If I'm the Warriors to change this, I make in preparation for game number four, get Kevon Luni a little bit more burned. I didn't feel like when I was watching Kevon Luni out there that he was a liability on either side of the floor. He can't be that much of a liability offensively to Dre Ma Green, you know what I'm saying? So play Dre Ma, or play Kevon Luni a little bit more. I would love to see more Gary Payton. I think game number two, he was great. And in this one, we barely got to see him. Maybe Les Jordan pulled in the more Otto Porter, give some more big wings that could potentially just be out there defensively. And Les Steph Curry rock, man. The Celtics fans, y'all should be very, very high because you defend at home court at the bare minimum. Who knows what happens to game number four. It is a must win in my personal opinion for the Warriors, because I can't see a world where the Celtics go up 3-1 and then lose the series. Of course it's possible, but I've seen the way this team has competed for the past couple months and I just can't see them getting one out of three. You know, it's not a team that loses back to back games. That's true to this day. So I don't really know how it's going. Again, as a Neutral fan, it's been a lot of fun for me. And I'm excited that we don't have to wait five days for game number four. We can just get in and talk about some more hoops. Appreciate y'all.
