00:00So the one thing that I'm interested in as I dive more into this series is am I crazy for being interested in Eastern Conference Finals MVP tickets on the not point guards?
00:12It'll be very hard for Nick to beat Brunson, but it is a team that has guys that can step up, right?
00:20Like, could Cat have a huge series?
00:23Could, I mean, there was a moment, it was a one-game moment, but there was a moment I was like,
00:27OG Ananobi's the best guy all of a sudden.
00:30And I think Tyrese Halliburton can play well in this series, well enough for Indiana to win,
00:39while the Conference Finals MVP goes to Pascal or Miles Turner, like, Andrew Nembhard.
00:46But that, to me, is somewhat how Indiana is designed.
00:50I think it is on the board, JY, that one of the top two choices, which is, you know,
00:56it would be, like, minus 900 that it is one of them who wins this award.
01:01I think it's on, I think, I think the field's got life.
01:04Yeah, the field's got life, and I think you mentioned one, and I think the one you need to look at, honestly,
01:08could be Cat.
01:09Got to remember, the last game they played against each other, Cat dropped at 40.
01:13And this will be interesting, because whereas this past matchup versus Boston,
01:19they used smaller guards, got up into his space, made him put it to the deck.
01:23Well, Miles Turner is going to drop more in that high pick-and-roll,
01:27because he's more of their rim protector, shot blocker, rebounder.
01:31So now the three-point shot could be there for Cat.
01:35So I think Cat is intriguing.
01:37Another guy I want to see, when we look at the markets, I didn't get, I didn't,
01:41this didn't hit me this series, but I'm curious to see where it comes.
01:44Is Josh Hart leading the series in rebounding?
01:46I'm going to go back to the same point I brought up with the last series with Boston.
01:50Now, because of the fact that Chris South Porzingis didn't play a ton, it kind of got taken away.
01:55And that's the fact that Miles Turner likes to live at the three-point line,
01:58so this Cat and Josh Hart becomes a demon when shots go up.
02:03Like, he will take out you, your mother, and your kids to grab a rebound,
02:07and he really won't care.
02:08So to me, I want to see where that Josh Hart market for most total rebounds will be in the series.
02:14So to your point about other players winning the award, you know,
02:18the precedent was set last year when Jalen Brown won it, right?
02:21And he won an Eastern Conference MVP, right?
02:24Yeah.
02:25And why did he win it?
02:27You know, we could, and we had this discussion with Pat, our producer on the scenes last,
02:30you know, last weekend, we were talking about, oh, Tatum literally led them in every category, right?
02:34But why did Brown win it?
02:36It was because of the big moments.
02:37So the point being is that if Bridges has those defensive game-sealing big moments,
02:45game-winning moments as he did in 1-2 against the Celtics,
02:48plus a good amount of scoring, are those highlight moments, game-winning moments,
02:54pivotal moments, enough to win him the award?
02:56Because that's an interesting conversation.
02:58I agree that looking outside of the Brunson-Halliburton is the way to go,
03:02and Bridges as a long shot, I may be talking myself into it, but I kind of like it.
03:07So, I think it is, I understand what you're saying.
03:14The Tatum situation, though, was unique.
03:17The history of that, albeit a very short history, is not, in the conference finals,
03:24we give it to the other guy.
03:26This is not an award whose history is Caleb Martin and Jamal Murray,
03:31who had cases those seasons.
03:33It is Nicole Jokic and Jimmy Butler.
03:35Right.
03:35And Jalen Brown had, you know, what felt like the series of his life, ultimately,
03:43against the Pacers to win the conference finals MVP.
03:47Tatum just literally could not shoot the basketball basically all postseason last year,
03:52and that's how he lost that award as well.
03:54Tatum just has a lot of times eventually'll.
03:54Tatum justятся strong people all postseason소 to win the classic play with FIFA.
03:54That's great.
03:55That was a lot being played by me.
03:57I still want to teach that political party as well.
03:59Like, I won't show you most of what it is.
04:00I enjoyed playing with
04:08Ali koran.
04:09Like, the three weeks again I heard about,
04:11that's ...
04:13You might be a good actor that was someone who was very,
04:14but, even though the game Danke left with me Está equity as well,
