00:00Now I know normally we would play the Luka, but we heard that in the cross and it is true
00:19that Luka hit the three that felt like it closed the door on the game.
00:23That was the first three I believe he made in the game.
00:26He's still shooting too much for my estimation, but I think that was always going to be a
00:31process.
00:32I think it's ridiculous to be like, he'll step on the court in game one and be like,
00:35yep, got it.
00:36Let's start passing.
00:37I will say that this isn't fair to him because he's a million times better than the tea shaker
00:42Antoine Walker.
00:44Okay.
00:45Text him what that stands for.
00:47He was just mixing his tea up.
00:48That's not what he's saying.
00:49Shaking his boobies because he made a shot for the, you know, one out of four, shake
00:53my boobies.
00:56But Luka is having very Antoine Walker, like box scores and how many times he shoots and
01:04how many times he scores like Antoine, like average 20 a game.
01:07I'm like, you take 24 shots.
01:09That is a horrible percentage.
01:12Like your teammate Dirk Novitski takes 15 shots and averages 26.
01:18Do you see the difference?
01:20And everyone's like, no boobie shake.
01:23God, it's going to be started early.
01:27Ladies and gentlemen.
01:28Oh, you know what else I can do?
01:29I can buy apartments and become a slumlord.
01:32I don't remember that.
01:34Antoine Walker, slumlord, Chicago.
01:35Okay.
01:36I did not know that.
01:38Look into that.
01:39I don't really know.
01:40Okay.
01:41But what I want to say, interesting way to start this is an interesting way to start.
01:44Now there's a lot of things that we can break down from this game.
01:46And I know some people had some concerns about the usage rate of clay Thompson.
01:50But what I want to start with is you talked a lot in the past, Mike, about the scheduled
01:55loss.
01:57This felt like an early potential schedule loss in terms of you had to do the back-to-back.
02:03You had to travel from Dallas to Minnesota to do the back-to-back and Minnesota's a damn
02:08fine team.
02:09Mavs are underdog by five and a half points.
02:11This felt like a scheduled loss.
02:14And I'm not going to lie.
02:15The first couple of minutes of the third quarter, I thought we were about to see that play out.
02:19And didn't it feel like Corey, the revenge of Anthony Edwards as he gets 24 in the first
02:25quarter and he was on pace to get a hundred.
02:27I want to show, well, he's only going to get 96, right?
02:32You're right.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Corey and his play.
02:35Yeah.
02:36But Corey, I know that you're a big Anthony Edwards fan.
02:38I think he's a great, great basketball player too, but it felt like that first quarter or
02:43early on in the game, Anthony Edwards is going to show I've matured in the off season and
02:48I'm ready.
02:49The team that destroyed me in the playoffs, I'm ready to show I am here to destroy you.
02:53So it did feel like in that first quarter, at least that, oh my gosh, Anthony Edwards
02:58is not going to let us win.
03:00You know, I do.
03:01There's another part of that.
03:05The loss to Phoenix.
03:06Do you think that made a, hey, let's, let's make sure we get this, you know, let's make
03:12sure we get this one back here.
03:13I don't know.
