 What's the word y'all welcome back to the recap ladies and gentlemen We are completely spoiled with great basketball this whole week, bro Just nothing but banger after banger after banger in the first day of playoffs are wrapped and every single one of these games We're interesting in their own way. I'm gonna keep it a buck. It's the first day of playoffs We're here to overreact to some extent don't come back and be clipping me about stuff I say here if the team I said look bad and game one go on to win a series. It's not really relevant We just go talk about what we saw today All right reason to leave a like subscribe if you are new I'm recording this before the Portland Trailblades have officially secured their win I'm again. I'm just guessing that this is the end. They are by 11 with about a minute and a half to go Tracy McGrady is not gonna go into Michael Porter Jr.'s body to make anything happen So I'm just assuming poorly got that win go win for them. I'm gonna take it from the very beginning though Like I said, we're gonna be reacting. Yeah, you know what I'm saying people get so upset People get so upset when you pick against their team and listen, y'all know I don't like doing predictions around here I just do it because it's part of the game. Everyone wants to hear who you think is gonna win I would much rather just talk about the games in front of me But if I pick yada yada and six yada yada and seven the opposing fan base is coming at me heavily if the team win Bro, I don't care. I don't I don't root for anybody but the Bulls and Kind of Phoenix tomorrow. I'm gonna keep it. You know, I'm gonna keep it I'm keeping honest with you kind of Phoenix tomorrow, but if the Bulls are related just know I'm neutral I give a prediction I'm not one of those people that need to be right if I pick a team getting winning four, but they get swept in four I'm not like, oh, I was wrong. It does not matter. You know, I'm saying I like okay Let's get to the first game of the day It was the Bucks versus the heat one of the hardest series to predict and you saw why in this game right here This is ugly. This was grinded this reminded me of like early 2000s basketball, and I'm here for it This is one of the weirdest ways I've watched the basketball game. Now. I'm a family man at heart Kind of little bro had a bad baseball game So I'm outside a 90 degree weather with this phone that keeps overheating and I'm trying to watch the game We're also watching to see when he's up to bat and what he's doing he hit off of topic He hit a ball Little brother's 13 years old from I'm maybe 12. I don't know he's six to he hit a ball That if they had a fence around the field would have been a no-dow home run, but instead it was a ground rule double So shout to Nolan big game for him big hit. Let's talk about this game though This was one of the most bizarre games imaginable if you look at the statistics you see oh snap one team shot 40% from three on 50 attempts you was just assumed they would win the game and actually I saw a statistic that said like a team that has Outperformed another team from three and this significance were 73 and one and now it's 73 and two because he ended up losing this game With this much of a boost they they made 23 is why the Bucks made five for 31 That is insane that the Bucks are able to get this way like like I said, we're here to react Yada yada yada Jimmy Butler had a dreadful game He hit the he had the one shot to put them up to go I'm not put them up but put them into overtime, which is great But other than that he was direct he attempted nine threes and I'm watching this game and once it completely wrapped I'm like, you know what shout to the homies that saw me at the nail salon because we did we did that as well today Um, I looked at the statistics. I'm like this is this is not a Jimmy Butler type game But tip the nine threes is not something Jimmy Butler does right? That was a season high for this year and it's tied for the most three sees attempted in the last three years And he did in the game one of the playoffs and that is a testament to how good of a defensive performance It was collectively from the Milwaukee Bucks because Dante de Vincenzo did great on Jimmy Butler PJ Tucker did great on Jimmy baller And I know Drew holiday didn't have a lot of time on Jimmy baller But you holiday in general is the X factor for this series You saw that today him turning up and I was at the third quarter It was before turning up in one of these quarters and then also playing amazing defense and actually getting the block to save The game in overtime Drew holiday was amazing. This game Was filled with type fouls or falls. I feel like everybody ended up on the floor for 10 plus seconds Chris Middleton Jimmy but it was faced down on the hardwood for like a minute Yannis hurt his elbow and had to get a shooting select It was so it was so much banging of the bodies in this game And like I said it reminded me of throwback ball and it was it was incredible if I'm a he fan I'm not tripping too much because Jimmy Butler had like his worst game ever and Bama to bio had one of his worst games ever And you know what I hate to say this but my boy BAM looked timid as ever Tim and his ever if you look at his statistics throughout his career of how much he's been getting better and better with his jump shot Throughout his career. You would think that this man is just like, you know He's he's destined to be an amazing mid-range shooter and this year he was good But in this game it was like he wasn't even looking at the basket now He finished with 15 shot attempts. I promise you he could at least got 23-24 shot attempts off and some of the little bunnies Some of the little bunnies he could have got so I'm not tripping too much if I'm the heat Yes, you might have wasted one of Duncan Roberson's amazing shooting performances You might have wasted one of dry gets his great performances But I'm a big person that I believe in the hot hand I believe in people getting hot and shrieking at the right time and going into the playoffs Gordon's logic has been amazing in the last 10 or so games going into the playoffs So I'm just assuming he's gonna continue to be great You know I'm saying so maybe having he has another game to this type of productivity But this is it's this is a tough one to lose considering you played amazing defense The team that you were going against shot bad from three and you still ended up losing shout out to Yanis So that's another no no no there are so many moments here in this game happen at one o'clock Almost 12 hours ago So there are moments in the game that are not fresh in my mind But what it is is tough juice slash Geron Butler playing the clock and getting the 10 second violation on Yanis Wow listen Yanis needs every single one of those seconds to even come close to making free throws And he's lucky that they ended up with this win because he had so many opportunities to put the dagger to put them up By this and that and I know he's not a good three free throw shooter even had a graphic that popped up in this game That was like He's third worst of all time in the playoffs at free throw percentage and I was thinking about that list I shag has to be in there somewhere number one number two as the worst worst But I'm like who is the other guy I should go look that up other than that The Bucks grinding his game out is big for them Because and last year in the series the real big momentum shifter for them is when Jimmy Butler got fouled and Ended up winning the game if Jimmy Butler would have won this game one I'm not saying the series would have been wrapped But I think it would have been a dramatic blow to the Milwaukee Bucks But I think they're probably confident and both teams should be confident right now by the way Look, this is the Bucks should be confident like man. We shot 16 percent from three We didn't get a good game from Yanis, but we still won. That's why they should be confident He should be confident as in like our best two players all our R NBA all defensive type players both did terrible And we only lost by two So that's why this series is one of the best like I cannot wait for game two if this goes five Which I'm assuming it will I would guess this is going seven I want to pull up to Milwaukee for a playoff game and they're the closest team to me My boys ain't been there in a long time. It's an hour drive from me I need to pull up to Milwaukee because seeing fans in the crowd today was amazing. It was a little jarring at first I'm gonna keep it a buck to see fans in there and some of them being unmasked was a little bit jarring But I have to remember it's just a step in the right direction for for everybody that through the vaccine and the COVID cases going down We're getting to some type of normalcy And seeing that in basketball is great cuz I'll man the Brooklyn Nets game. Let's just go there I know there was a game in between but let me quickly spend a couple minutes on a Brooklyn Nets game because this is the least entertaining out of the group They just kept panning the audience and I'm seeing whole sections unmasked And I know that some places have like a vaccinated section was a great idea where you could be unmasked You could yadda yadda mingle and all of that if I like if I like New York Slash Brooklyn was as well and out there Which again is good and sometimes I think I could see it being bad But hey as long as people got their doses let it be I am vaccinated. But when I go to this Milwaukee Bucks game, I will keep my mask on Extra layer of safety extra layer of safety. I'm quickly talking about this game. Robert Williams was amazing Um, and you know what? It's gonna take a lot for the boss to sell just to win one game to to make this a real series But there are some bright things that you saw and a lot of it is Robert Williams Almost tying the all-time blocks record in in a playoff game He was on triple double alert to big games from him But obviously the big thing is that's a barry parker had to play 21 minutes because they don't really have bodies And the brooklyn that steven ass is like I see the barry parker I'm going at the barry parker and everybody did it was james. It was re it was it was kd It was all of them They saw the barry parker And they they was like feasting on it and then jason tate. I'm really struggled this game I don't expect him to shoot 30 percent every game on this series But it is a lot tougher for him to get his shots off because they're letting marcus smart shoot Marcus smart had a good game statistically But that's because they were letting him do the things he was doing to keep a walk ahead and off game as well And it's just too much firepower for The brooklyn that's they didn't even none of their guys had like significantly great games and they just breeze through this You know for a moment like boston was keeping into it But that third quarter hit and brooklyn was like, you know what let's play basketball I didn't even realize blake didn't attempt a shot crazy crazy Let's just play basketball and that's like I said, that was the least exciting game of the bunch. Let's go back Clips gonna clip y'all know i'm not one of those clippers haters out here I don't care if they're successful or not, but i'm gonna say that last six minutes You know what? I even found the statistic about the last six minutes. Hold on Let me go to my photos because we screed-sided it. Um, it was not good. Here we go The last six minutes and seven seconds for the clippers They were two for 12 from the floor Oh for seven from three two for six from the line This is one of the greatest free throw shooting teams in the league two for six from the line A turnover and got outscored 18 to five sound to my guy on twitter for sending me those statistics Because wow, that's insane for a lot of this game. Listen. It was a it was very Dallas Mavericks For the win, but there are moments in this game and the clippers are right there You know in the last six minutes, of course getting outscored 18 to five to end the game It's not great simple paul george came out bad and Pandemic pee was always trending in like a quarter in a quarter He's like one of the most hated players in the NBA which is so sad because I think paul george is a cool Dude, I think he's one of the smoothest players in the NBA too Then the second half he comes out He scores the first couple buckets for the team and he started to turn it around You know, it's easy for a player to have a bad first half and then follow that up with a bad second half So shout to pg for coming out there and playing a little bit better But then again, it didn't matter because in the last six minutes, they couldn't do a thing This is a team that had a crazy great offense Crazy great three-point shooting for the entire regular season And none of that showed today And maybe that's one of the reasons why the clip is like we chilling bro We had a great three-point shooting team all day all season Marcus Morris was literally top three and 300% as he was 0 for six on the day He probably not going 0 for six again. So the Clippers fans are probably chilling But bro, this is a game you should probably win It's a series you should win conventionally if you ask me I think that you have the more talent between the dallas mavericks and you But the dallas mavericks play better it played they play harder in the grand scheme of things Reggie Jackson was just out there running Don't disrespect the Reggie though. He does he does a cool with the goggles and everything But like he was just out there kind of running Terence man should probably get a little bit more burning game number two, but it's all about Playing game number one and adjusted for two and adjusted for three. It's a playoffs man. It's a long series I'm expecting every single one of the seams that play today to look a little bit differently in game two Because they see what's working. They see what's not and they're going to try to adjust accordingly for the dallas mavericks One of the main things for the dallas mavericks. First of all luka I don't have to explain to you the greatness of luka. He didn't have to score in the fourth quarter for them to get this win Which is which is great Oh my I can't believe that this man is only 22 years old We're going to be blessed to watch this man play in the playoffs. Hopefully every year for the next 15 10 15 years, bro He's that he's that much of a gem I love the players that of course are great regular season players But can back that up with great postseason play and luka has done that seven postseason games Four three triple doubles not know the triple double statistic ain't as popular as it used to be But he went through this stretch and I don't I don't remember if it was late second quarter early third quarter He was doing everything he wanted. He was doing everything. He didn't care who was defending him It was it was I mean it was it was kawai. It was pg. It was marcus It was the switch of patrick beverly. It did not matter if this man was doing it all and it's just beautiful But even with luka doing that Sometimes he can't win those games because of the others Right, this is why I think the clippers are probably winning this series because they're less reliant on the others Than the dallas mavericks, but today the others looked amazed like chris. That's brazil is supposed to be their second star He didn't do that today. This man is A size of a tree trunk And it just won't get into the post and I know that's not his game. I know that's not his game But I just want to see occasionally and I have the same thing about lorry marketing occasionally When you got the smaller defender on on you, please just post up So it's a few times and I know it's not your game, but if the guy guarding you is a whole foot shorter I think you'll be okay. Even if you don't practice those shots And yeah, uh, he didn't he started off cool and then he just was terrible for the last three quarters Offensively defensively sure whatever but doran finney smith Amazing I don't know if I can rely on doran finney smith to shoot four for five from three every night But he's shown year after year after year that he is a competent three-point shooter tim hardaway jr Same thing. I said we're um with gordon drogic I love a player that is hot going into the playoffs tim hardaway jr Was hot going into the playoffs and jaylon brunson back to back and once back to get a paycheck Josh ridgerton wasn't amazing this game, but you don't need him to be a star You know what i'm saying and his 17 minutes. He was competent enough to help your team win This is a beautiful win for the dallas mavericks. They're not afraid of the clippers They may know that they don't have the talent to match the clippers, but they are not afraid of the clippers And that's gonna make this series probably longer than what it should be now if the clippers Hey, if the clippers don't win this series after finagle in and losing to okc to in the year I'm not gonna speak on it. You better win this series for everything you did to get this series You better win this series and lastly the last game of the day the portland charlotte's get a win It is official now I started this video 15 minutes ago and it has officially wrapped up and the final score ended up being 123 to 109 I love to see yokas go out there and be super aggressive because they're gonna need that man People always want to point to the jamal murray injury and of course that is the biggest injury of them all But they are missing so many more They're missing they're missing so many pj doja rotational player will barton rotational player all out with injury today And of course jamal murray That's three guards slash wing players that you need in the playoff series So to see yokas go out there and try to do everything in his power To uh to to lead a team to victory. I mean the man didn't pass the ball to get assist today I mean, of course he was a playmaker still Um, but he saw the mismatches man As solid as use of nerk is can be he is somewhat of a shell is for myself. He had a good game today I'm not saying that he's bad. I'm just saying like before he snapped his leg He was on a trajectory like oh snap we use of nerk is might actually be that guy He might be that good and of course he's still solid He's just ain't at that level no more So yokas saw that and then he saw the enus cancer minutes And that was about as easy as it gets as well He tried to take advantage Michael ported juniors one of those players He might shoot you out of a game sometime and he was one for 10 from three Um, it was just crazy because when I was watching at one point he was like 11 for 14 or something he's being very efficient So I'm guessing and he's last couple minutes of the game He's just trying to get them back into about shooting three shooting three shooting threes But this is something that I said Before this series even started If I'm the Portland trailblazers, I'm just guarding. I'm double team and yokas First of all, they didn't do that at all today and they still got a win, which is great Double team at yokas not doubling off Michael ported, juniors. Hey compasal. I know you're a good three point You're okay three point shooter. I'm letting you shoot. I'm letting austere river shoot I'm letting erin gordon shoot I my team more is you probably want to let him shoot But like everybody else on the team I'm letting you shoot the ball and I'm gonna double these two star players because I don't trust anybody else to do these things The Denver nuggets are playing a two-way player 20 minutes a game It's unfortunate bro because if jamal murray and if they were a fully healthy team I don't know if there's a ceiling on the scene not like I legitimately think that they could win the championship If they were fully healthy But unfortunately they are not and because of that a team that is fully healthy Like the Portland trailblazers can take advantage of those things damy lilith did not start off well Compasal was you know out there and then dame turned it up. Yep. It don't take much It don't really take much to give dame dame sees two in a rogo down You might as well call it quits the fans came out boing carmelo anthony And you know, I understand having a distaste for a player That left your team on ugly terms Like it was it was it was it but my my thing is it was a decade ago You know what i'm saying? I haven't been in many many romantic relationships in my life But I couldn't imagine if me and my current girlfriend broke up and i'm 34 years old and i'm still like Oh that oh her right there. I hate boo I can't imagine that like i'm not saying you have to root for carmelo anthony by any means he's on the opposing team It's okay, but like every time he because he touched the ball. It was heavy booze I'm not here to tell you how to be a fan, but i'm just saying for me personally I wouldn't do such a thing um, and he well he played He played well, I mean had the man had What nine and nine in a row at one point early in that though late in that first gordon He was hooping and part of that's because y'all wanted the boo anthony simons. It's Amazing anthony simons was not a guy that was drafted to be a three-point specialist, but he adapted to the time I won't play time. So I need I need to find a way to play. So i'm gonna shoot this I'm gonna shoot this pill and he shot four for five from three Um, it was a good win for them robber coveton was amazing defensively and like I said used to nerkins Didn't have a bad game by any means um And they ended up getting the win they ended up getting the win which is which is crucial They gave one win on the row now they are I'm not standing the favorite But the tides have turned to home court advantage for them is what I'm trying to say and overall We just got a good day of basketball, which is amazing. Um, um, michael michael malone Has to make some type of adjustments And I know he don't have that much wiggle room with the talent that he has on his roster But he has to make some type of wiggle room to help with the damian lilor thing But it didn't get his damian lilor I feel like you could throw 100 different coverages at damian lilor. It wouldn't matter because he's damian lilor You know, so great games all around. I don't know if day number two is going to live up to it But if it does, oh my god, we are so spoiled So day number two starts off with the 76 in the wizards that could be a good game But I just think that the 76ers are too good defensively for for um for the wizards to Make that much of a noise in the series. Then you get that second game Hey, that's second game sun's lakers Hey, like I said, I would love to see the phoenix sun's wins because I'm the biggest chris paul fan out there and again, I love to see chris paul be successful But that also doesn't mean I'm rooting against the lakers. I know this is weird thing. Yadda yadda I can't wait for this game. The four five in the east is going to be amazing And I don't know I I think that the gris is can hang a little bit with the jazz That'll probably be a 30 point win mark my words. It'll probably be a 30 point win, but hey Day number two, hopefully lives up to day number one. You enjoyed the video. Leave it a like man What are some of the things you saw in today's uh slate of games that you thought were interesting? There was just me talking for 20 minutes, which Didn't feel like 20. Maybe it did to you. All right. I'll see you tomorrow. Peace
