00:00Yeah, see, Shane, beforehand rush, those guys, so OKC's a good tone, you gotta take advantage of that tone.
00:08The Pacers start play tonight, fourth in the Eastern Conference, and a game and a half clear of Detroit.
00:14Any combination of Pacers wins would allow the Pacers to clinch a playoff spot.
00:19As a team, we feel great right now. We've been playing really well.
00:23I look forward to seeing where we stack up against the best team in the league.
00:27Oklahoma City's advertising is 24th. Come on, what are you talking about?
00:35This is a dumb shit thing we're doing.
00:36Did you have done it?
00:37What up, are you doing?
00:39Tonight in Oklahoma City, it's the Pacers and the Thunder.
00:43Trust me, I'm going to get my shot.
00:46I don't know what I expected in terms of fans. I know they got good fans.
00:51There's crack in here.
00:52Halliburton in the center of the floor.
00:56Halliburton will crack a three straightaway.
00:58Steps up, fires a three straightaway.
01:00Looks good.
01:01From behind the three-point line.
01:03Drills it from deep.
01:04Our strategy for beating the Pacers is pressure on both ends of the floor.
01:11Halliburton will let it.
01:13And Jay gives it right back.
01:14Now George, got a little fly-by.
01:16Tight step three.
01:17And George got it on the line.
01:19What the hell are we doing?
01:22Bob Tyrese.
01:23It's time to restime it in the Pacers offense.
01:27Oh, nice drift.
01:28Jack was trying to work his way inside.
01:30Nice job.
01:31Nice job.
01:31Nice job.
01:34Jay.
01:35Oh, that's the goal.
01:36He dropped his down.
01:37Plus the foul.
01:39Oh, what the fuck are we doing?
01:44Man, I can't blow up our layup like that.
01:47You know, we want to be the best team in the NBA, so you got to be better.
01:52That was not good enough.
01:54It is win number nine in a row for the Thunder.
01:57Watch this.
01:58Hold on.
01:58Another win against the Eastern Capitals.
02:00And win number 62 here in this historic season.
02:04Oh.
02:10We're going to be number one in the last.
02:12There's not enough games there.
02:13So, yeah, we're just trying to stay focused, trying to get better with every game.
02:19We're ready for the playoffs.
02:20If you don't get MVP, we riot, Oklahoma.
02:23Right out at dawn.
02:25You guys have a great night.
02:26I'm a little beat up.
02:43What are we going to get there, right?
02:45What's up, Netflix?
02:47Y'all good?
02:48I had a little injury to my hip earlier this year, but, you know, it's definitely a sign
02:56that you, coming of age, in basketball, 10 years, in the league, how it is now, 10 years,
03:02it's like, you know, that's a long time.
03:05It's kind of how to, like, play through injury.
03:08It's kind of similar to, like, being a fighter.
03:10If you get punched in the gut or in the rib or something, it's a fight over because you
03:14broke your rib, no, you keep going.
03:20You didn't do that for you last night?
03:22Huh?
03:23Yeah, you're a little, where you at?
03:25You come to my house?
03:27No.
03:30Oh, that's right.
03:31You played, you played, uh, Lincoln's in there?
03:34Yes, sir.
03:34All right.
03:36People are doing, uh, James' ass.
03:39Do you know what I mean?
03:41Yep.
03:41Once in a generation, it seems, the stars align.
03:46We'll reserve up a special primetime matchup featuring the two most successful and stored
03:52franchises we right now want and are dreaming of another title.
03:58Here we go.
03:59We know what the business is.
04:00We know what the business is.
04:01Where my dog's at?
04:02It gets a whole cooked meal where my fucking dog's at.
04:06Let's get straight to the vibe.
04:07You guys don't think one, two, three.
04:08Basketball's offense and defense.
04:12Being able to be a two-way player, I think it turned me into a monster.
04:16With defense there for Brown, catch it away from Dodgers.
04:19Brown, Brown, Brown.
04:20And it's down.
04:21And it's down.
04:24Hey, keep putting him in it.
04:26Keep putting him in it.
04:26Or go at him.
04:27You know what I mean?
04:28Because it affects him on the other hand.
04:30I'm doing it.
04:30I'm doing it.
04:31Get on you.
04:31I'm doing it.
04:33Oh, 52-51.
04:35And it's down.
04:35Steal, Jalen Brown.
04:37First time.
04:38And there's a bunch of against him.
04:39And a two-way slam.
04:41And the Suns have regained the lead.
04:44James drives.
04:47Come on.
04:47Hit it at the goal.
04:50Damn.
04:50It's out.
04:51Now it's Jalen Brown.
04:53Wow.
04:53Wow.
04:57Physically, it's a toll.
04:59These teams are coming after us.
05:02And Jalen Brown, a little shaken up.
05:05You got to do your best to make sure that you just fight it and remind yourself who you are.
05:10Brown, step back.
05:12Hooks up a three.
05:12Touch it.
05:14Right about 23.
05:15Touch it in.
05:18Jalen Brown inside.
05:19Touch it in.
05:25And that's just a part of navigating being a champ.
05:27KD, man.
05:37Yeah?
05:38Statistically, you look at his numbers right now, and I'm telling you, Bazanonians, you tell
05:43me that he's slowed down.
05:44Say, congrats on our 30K, bro.
05:46Thank you, bro.
05:47Well deserved, man.
05:48Thank you, bro.
05:50The Suns have Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
05:52And that alone should be enough to be a playoff team.
05:56It's almost like the Suns found themselves in a must-win play-in scenario two months before
06:02the play-in tournament began.
06:04And, you know, when you have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, and those guys are healthy,
06:10plus Bradley Beal, like, despite all of the things seemingly working against the Suns,
06:15they might just back themselves into the play-in tournament after all.
06:23And Kevin Durant for you!
06:25Need it, come on!
06:27Time and results are on the essence.
06:30A challenging test though awaits tonight for the red-hot Houston team coming to town.
06:36His teams are physical with the Suns.
06:40They're just crowding them all the way, making the Suns uncomfortable.
06:42I'm so sorry.
06:43I'm so sorry.
06:44I'm so sorry.
06:44P.D. gets to the sweet spot.
06:59And you see him grabbing that left ankle right now.
07:03He is definitely hobbling, favoring his left leg.
07:07I had three ankle injuries, and all three of them were from stepping on somebody's foot.
07:16I kind of misdiagnosed my steps and not thinking I got enough steps when I do.
07:21And slow down, and boom, I step on somebody's foot.
07:24As soon as I did it, I knew that was a tough one.
07:33You kind of know the severity of them all, you know, so I kind of figured out when I could put pressure on my leg walking off the court that I was like, yes, it'll be tough to get back.
07:42He is looking like he is going to limp off, grabbing at his left ankle, and that'll do it.
07:49Rockets beat the Suns tonight, 148-109, the final scores.
07:54Unfortunately, the situation ain't going to happen in basketball.
07:57It's just bad timing, usually.
08:01The Suns officially eliminated from the playoffs last night.
08:04It's done.
08:05It's over.
08:06Any talk of, oh, you're telling me there's a chance.
08:08No, there's no chance they're not getting into the play-ins.
08:13So much intensity.
08:14I'm about to be displayed on TV between all these great teams, and, you know, you just wish you was a part of it.
08:19So, yes, I'm sad in this, but I'm going to be tuned in like everybody else.
08:24Katie.
08:25I understand him more than anybody, especially when they come to basketball, because it's like, like, he just want to hoop.
08:32Man, hooper to hooper.
08:33You know, we label Katie as one of the greatest players that ever played this game.
08:37So it's just like, man, wow, it's tough when the situation, how it ended in Phoenix.
08:43I don't know if it's a hit on his legacy.
08:48Kevin Durant's legacy has been defined.
08:52When he was in his prime, and I think in those years, Kevin is and should be regarded as one of the world's best basketball players and one of the most gifted offensive players of my lifetime.
09:03The Seattle Supersonics select Kevin Durant.
09:09When he retires, his stature should be in Oklahoma City.
09:15He's the one that made Oklahoma City cool for him.
09:18Like, he deserves his power.
09:19And he's one of the best basketball players that ever touched a basketball.
09:21Like, literally.
09:27These are monuments that basically is saying that you were this great of a human that we want to create a shrine for you right here in front of our arena.
09:39I mean, it's probably one of the biggest honors you can get.
09:43MJ has a statue.
09:45Kobe, of course, has a statue.
09:46It doesn't happen very often.
09:48Only the best of the best get a statue.
09:52Uh, Golden State.
09:54You gotta get a statue at Golden State.
09:57And OKC, really.
09:59I mean, yeah.
10:00A legend in our game.
10:01One of the greatest ever.
10:02And no doubt he's getting a statue, getting his jersey retired in both those places, right?
10:07I would view it as a travesty to the basketball world if he did it.
10:13A statue.
10:15Probably outside his house or something.
10:18I think he put, like, the bottom half in, like, OKC, the top half in Golden State or something.
10:24Nothing's in Phoenix.
10:27I don't know.
10:27Maybe he put, like, his hand or something in Brooklyn.
10:33He's the first of, like, this whole seven feet, shooting threes, playing like a point guard in basketball.
10:39So many kids now look up to him.
10:41Like, he's their favorite player.
10:42Obviously, a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
10:48Every city gives him a statue.
10:51Thank you, and I will be there front and center.
10:54God willing.
10:55God willing.
10:57They might put a little murrow up somewhere and behind them up in a pizza store or some shit.
11:06I'm a word of mouth, dude.
11:08You're just going to hear about everything.
11:09You're going to hear good and bad about me.
11:11You ain't going to look at a statue and sit there and praise it.
11:13Damn.
11:14Look at that statue of KD.
11:16That boy was killer.
11:17You know, like, man, KD was, he might snap back at you at the media.
11:22He might cuss out a fan.
11:23He might get 40.
11:25He might be moody.
11:27Like, that's the vibe you get when you talk about me.
11:30So I like that.
11:31You know, that's cool.
11:32Me instead of a statue.
11:35I got so much respect for that dude, man.
11:37So as much as people can say whatever they want about earn their counts and all that weird talk, like, so what?
11:44This dude is elite.
11:46So why don't you just cherish it and just shut up?
11:49We're in a good space right now.
12:04We're coming together as a team.
12:06Very, very confident about how we've been playing lately.
12:08And I'm prepared to go out there and play well.
12:11We have an opportunity for, you know, the league to see how good we can be.
12:14You know what I mean?
12:20I think the last 20 games, we have won, like, 17.
12:23So our job is to try to carry that momentum into these postseason.
12:26And we still ended up in a situation where if we lose, we're in a plan.
12:35You know what I mean?
12:36If we win, we're in the fifth season.
12:37Good to see you.
12:38That's easy.
12:38You're right?
12:38Yeah, you ain't cooking.
12:40What you been eating?
12:41It's perfect time.
12:42We're hitting the peak right now.
12:43Watch.
12:44We're going to win one game on the road and go to state.
12:46We're not doing no plan.
12:48Like, I've been in the playoffs for 15 years in a row.
12:51So I'm excited about it.
12:53I'm ready to go to war with the bros.
12:56So you play six months of regular season basketball, 81 and three quarter games.
13:03And it comes down to what's going to happen over the next five minutes to determine the
13:08postseason fate for these two teams here in overtime.
13:11The regular season ain't over yet.
13:14Last game of the regular season, having to fight for our lives, like, that's like a movie.
13:18The decision will never happen, whether it's a shot or a drive, it's going to come, y'all.
13:22Y'all still good at reading that shit.
13:23All right?
13:24Come on.
13:25I mean, they know what's on the line here in these last five minutes.
13:29So James Harden was gifted the perfect opportunity to show I can step up when I need it.
13:37Down by one.
13:38Harden steps back.
13:39Working on heels.
13:40The three for the lead.
13:42Bullseye.
13:42James Harden buries it.
13:44Looks for Butler.
13:45Throws it away.
13:46Butler saves it, but it's to the Clippers.
13:47Throws it, Throws it.
13:50Harden driving.
13:51Throws it, Throws it, the throw down.
13:53And now a timeout by Steve Kerr.
13:55We got one-fifth, one-fourteen, bro.
13:57We need two, three steps to do it.
13:58Over win.
14:01Harden.
14:02I got it again.
14:03Back to back.
14:04Throws it by James Harden.
14:06God fucking missing, bro.
14:07God damn.
14:09How about Butler?
14:09Who you got, Throws it?
14:10Here's Butler.
14:11He's been quiet of late, turning fire.
14:13Throws it.
14:14Throws it.
14:17Everybody standing, you're a good.
14:22Weint Harden with five.
14:23Left with the floor.
14:24The beard.
14:25Lost the handle.
14:26Gets it backwards, too.
14:27Throws it up at the rim.
14:28Thakes it in.
14:29Harden has 37.
14:31Ten of those have come here in overtime.
14:34Hey, Wanda.
14:34Let's go home, my man.
14:35Let's go, my man.
14:38Weint Harden sets up four-quarter three.
14:42The regular season is over.
14:51The Los Angeles Clippers cleats a playoff stop.
14:56Love you.
14:56I love you, brother.
14:58You too, brother.
14:58Keep going.
14:59See y'all.
14:59Hope you'll see you later.
15:00For sure.
15:00Bye.
15:01Keep going, boy.
15:02Keep going.
15:02Keep going.
15:03Get to it now.
15:19Baby, girl.
15:20Baby, girl.
15:21Baby, girl.
15:24Hey, you're about to make it in, baby.
15:25Yeah.
15:30Weint Harden with three.
15:32What's up, y'all?
15:36What's up, y'all?
15:39We going, now, hold on.
15:40We going hugs, y'all.
15:41We going to get a group hug.
15:43Yeah.
15:43That's what I'm talking about.
15:44What's up?
15:44Y'all good?
15:45Yeah.
15:45That's what I'm talking about.
15:46You bought out.
15:47I appreciate it.
15:47Yeah, you bought out.
15:48You made it.
15:49Y'all about good luck, Charm.
15:50For real.
15:51I've never missed the playoffs.
15:52And it's a great accomplishment, but, like, I'm going to take it one game at a time.
15:57But just being from L.A., winning it here is, I can't even imagine.
16:02Like, I can't imagine it.
16:04Got it?
16:06Peace, how much?
16:06Yeah, I bet it'd be good, all right?
16:07We're going to put these in the middle of the pool.
16:21This is really heavy.
16:24Oh, yeah.
16:24Oh.
16:26Cindy and Cracken.
16:27My mom, she was just going to doctors when she found out she had breast cancer.
16:33Somebody that, like, has had your back for your whole life, and you've seen it as at her highest.
16:40And then, boom, her lowest hit.
16:42And we didn't have an opportunity to actually, like, celebrate.
16:46So, now, she's finally able to, like, you know, be herself again.
16:50It's like one of the best feelings.
16:52So, she's back, so we had to celebrate her birthday.
16:55Oh, I didn't see him right down here.
16:57I'll see you.
16:59It's your birthday, girl.
17:01You, kid?
17:01Where's she at?
17:03Where's she at?
17:04Where's she at?
17:34Yes, I was going through breast cancer.
17:40It was hard because I'm used to going to the games, cheering him on, and I couldn't do that.
17:46But if I don't be strong, who's going to be strong for me?
17:53He came to one of my chemos and sat there with me.
17:57It was hard to see him sit there because I know he was hurt inside.
18:01You know how you teach your kids to just knock it off your shoulder?
18:07Well, James taught me that, too.
18:12Oh, check it, check it.
18:14Woo, woo, woo.
18:15Hello?
18:16You gonna fall these on me?
18:17Here, y'all can have some candy.
18:18So, yeah, that two years was, like, probably my lowest fur that I've ever experienced, just because, like, basketball, which, you know, that's, like, that's what provides for everybody.
18:34It wasn't going well, and then my backbone was trying to, you know, fight for her life.
18:39But, like, with all that being said, like, now, it's, like, everything hit the highs, you feel me?
18:59So, like, we all go through our lows, we all go through our highs.
19:01You don't never want to get too low, never, just, you know, just be cool.
19:07Be cool.
19:08You know, going through the last couple years, obviously she's the one that had to deal with it, but, you know, just, you know, seeing her bounce back, it's like, you know, I mean, anything is possible.
19:19So, you know, I don't try to get emotional, but, you know, now I'm in a good place, I know she's in a good place, so I feel like my family is even better than ever.
19:34Hi, Ty.
19:35What's up?
19:37Hold on, let me find this, your girl?
19:39Send me those rings, but I'm trying to find them.
19:41I plan on proposing, and I've told, my mom knows, my dad knows, Netflix knows.
19:51Well, I sent him those four diamonds, they're not even available anymore.
19:56Well, I deleted them on my phone, just in case we were texting and Jade saw it.
20:01Smart.
20:02So, I've been put in front of so many rings.
20:05I know she likes regular, like, yellow gold, but because the diamond's going to be big and clear, you can't have the prongs on that color to show through.
20:13Yeah.
20:14So, we'll do, like, a super simple band, maybe some diamonds on, like, the basket.
20:20I hope I don't mess this up.
20:21I'm pretty sure she wants an oval cut.
20:23Pretty sure that's the cut of diamond she wants.
20:26And I want to get a carat count that means something to us.
20:30So, I'm looking to get probably around six carats, because we have been together for six years.
20:39Six is the ideal.
20:41100%.
20:42100%.
20:43Six years together, six carats?
20:44Correct.
20:45Okay.
20:46I'm just going to hit him and say, let's each just get a couple options with the GID certificate.
20:50Perfect.
20:51And we'll compare and contrast.
20:55A ring emoji.
20:57247 weeks ago.
20:59So, sheesh, it really made her way for that one.
21:05I was proactive already from my bag in the bag.
21:08I saw that.
21:12Most proud of just persevering through, you know, the early start to the year.
21:17I was kind of in a dark place, mentally, physically.
21:22And so, the fact that, you know, I've gotten through that, and as a team, we've gotten through
21:26the slow start that we have as a group.
21:29Tyrese Halliburton.
21:30Up.
21:31In three.
21:33Halliburton to top it.
21:34We've seen an energize Tyrese Halliburton.
21:37Four straight games with a double-double.
21:38And one.
21:39And one.
21:40And one.
21:41It will end up being a 16-point win.
21:45We saw Ty stack a couple games.
21:47And that's when we realized, okay, he's back.
21:50This is a gutsy win.
21:53This is one of the games.
21:54We'll be poor gutsy fans to face the bad decision.
21:58Pacers down three.
22:00Three seconds left on the clock.
22:01Halliburton's got the ball.
22:03Halliburton runs.
22:04Oh, my goodness.
22:10Tyrese Halliburton hits a three and it's fouled.
22:15Most successful points of my career.
22:18At no point in those moments did I not believe that I was the best player, not only at my
22:24position, but on the floor.
22:25And that's just how I view it.
22:26And right in the grill of Giannis.
22:28Tyrese, his vision, the speed that he plays with, the way he brings a joy and a vibe to the game
22:36has been something that has resurrected and has helped us, you know, turn things around.
22:43The Indiana Pacers have had one of the best records since mid-December in the league.
22:49Funny enough, I had a dream about this the other day.
22:51I had a dream, we were in Game 7 of the NBA Finals and I made, I begged Puma to let me wear
22:59my shoe because they don't come out for another year.
23:02But to be like, I know y'all have them.
23:05You would think, right?
23:06There's no better rollout than Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
23:09We got a chance to get 50 wins this year.
23:12The way we started the season.
23:13What was it?
23:14It was like 10 and 15, I think.
23:1610 and 16, something like that.
23:18We're a game away from locking up the 4th seed and I couldn't be more excited.
23:34We know that, you know, we got to win one more game or the Bucs have to lose one more
23:40game for us to clinch that 4th seed.
23:42So, we're in control of our destiny right now.
23:44Now, if the Pacers win tonight or Milwaukee loses, Pacers will secure the number 4th seed.
23:51They'll get home court with the win tonight.
23:54Cleveland is second to Oklahoma City.
23:56The Cavs are the best offensive team in the sport.
23:58Hey, hey, let's lock this shit up.
24:00Let's lock this shit up.
24:01Here we go.
24:011-0-3, 1-2-3, win.
24:03We got to have a good start, bro.
24:05This is probably the last time we all played together before the playoffs.
24:08We got to have a good start.
24:09As a team, we feel great right now.
24:11We've been playing really well.
24:13We know who we are.
24:14We're very confident in ourselves.
24:16We know that when the pressure rises and when it's time to win big games, that we have
24:20a lot of faith in each other and in ourselves.
24:23As we mentioned, here is Craig Porter through the traffic.
24:27And to the hole, he hit it to block shot.
24:30The other way's half.
24:31The other way's half.
24:32Halliburton's one to fire and it's way under three.
24:44That was an incredible shot.
24:47The other way comes Halliburton.
24:49What a game for Halliburton sizing him up with a blue.
25:01Look, it's Halliburton wins.
25:05The Pacers have home court in the playoffs and maybe better than a number four seed.
25:12Hello?
25:17Hey.
25:18Hello?
25:19Are you home or are you downtown?
25:21I'm calling in the gate right now.
25:22He's telling me I should grab Culver's?
25:24I'm here to drink.
25:25Culver's is like Midwest In-N-N-Out.
25:28It's like burgers, fries, shakes.
25:31Their ice cream, we call it, it's custard.
25:35It's fire.
25:37Chef Blank made salmon, but I don't think I'm in a salmon mood right now.
25:43Hi.
25:44Can I start with a single butter burger meal?
25:48And then can I get a double cheeseburger basket with ketchup only on the burger?
25:53And I'll do fries for the side.
25:55And then for the drink, can you make it a small concrete mixer with chocolate ice cream,
26:01Reese's peanut butter cup, and cookie dough?
26:04You know what?
26:05We're celebrating, can I also get a small root beer float as well?
26:08Sure.
26:09And that shows the Wisconsin in me.
26:11For the Wisconsin people who watch this and don't fuck with me, that shows the Wisconsin
26:15in me right there.
26:1725-year-old business man.
26:19Bro, ever since I got braces, it's been hard to eat that, right?
26:22Yeah, bro.
26:23Same thing we're having on my tooth, too.
26:26Y'all see the type of snacks this man got in here?
26:29What are those?
26:31Pickle-flavored salva strokes?
26:32Bro, I would never eat that in my life.
26:34Last year, we were just happy to be in the playoffs.
26:37You know, we had a bunch of young dudes.
26:39We'd never been together as a group in the offs.
26:42So we just, we were just happy to be there.
26:44Whereas now, like, there's a real expectation to win a championship.
26:49In our locker room, at least.
26:50It's just a different feeling.
26:52Like, now we're expected to win.
26:55But last year, there wasn't one single series where the Pacers were picked to win.
27:00The first playoff game isn't until, like, April 19th, April 20th, if you're not in the
27:05play-in.
27:05So you have really a week.
27:06Like, so we're getting arrested, having off days.
27:09At this point, we all kind of figure it's Milwaukee.
27:13Like, if it's Detroit, okay.
27:15But I think everybody's pretty, uh, pretty sure it's going to be Milwaukee, yeah.
27:21Confident no matter who it is.
27:22But we'd like, it'd be cool if it was Milwaukee.
27:26Ain't nothing wrong with playing now.
27:27You know, the regular season's cool, it's a marathon, that's over.
27:32We only remember what happens in the playoffs.
27:35There is nothing like a game one in the opening round.
27:38It's the NBA playoffs at the pinnacle of basketball.
27:42Pressure is pressure.
27:43I mean, every team is playing for the same thing, the same goal.
27:46High emotion, high intensity, high physicality.
27:49The regular season, it's a bunch of battles.
27:52But the playoffs is when things start to heat up.
27:55It gets physical.
27:58You got to be more aggressive.
28:00No matter what, you are going to want it just as bad as they're going to want it.
28:05Who has the best habits?
28:06Who's worked the hardest?
28:08Who's the most prepared?
28:10The best of the best, man.
28:12It's the cream of the crop.
28:13Let's see who's real and who's not.
28:23You know, what's the postseason?
28:25It's in play.
28:26The game changes.
28:27The speed, the thinking of the game, the will, you know what I mean, to find a way to win.
28:33Like, all that kicks in.
28:36For James Harden, I think he's a guy that's had a great, great NBA career, but greatness comes in the postseason.
28:43James Harden is a Hall of Famer, but there's only been one thing that's circled his career as a knock against him.
28:53And it's been the playoffs.
28:54It's been winning championships.
28:58The Clippers, if they make it far, they got a long road to hope.
29:03Like, starting with Denver is not fun.
29:05Here we go.
29:06Game one is underway.
29:10They're cooperating together for so many years.
29:12They won a championship together, so we knew that they were going to come in and get to it from the jump.
29:15They've got to get a good look here.
29:18Down three, 10.9, going overtime.
29:20Harden, and that's going to bounce.
29:22And last hit Harden.
29:25And who do?
29:27The Nuggets emerge.
29:30Game one victors in an overtime thriller.
29:35You know, I feel like we let the game one slip away.
29:38It's about matchups.
29:42It's about talent.
29:44It's about luck.
29:46In order to be a champion, in order to go far in the playoffs, you have to have all three ingredients.
29:52And the Clippers win game two.
29:55105 to 102.
29:59Wow.
30:00What a game.
30:01In NBA history, the winner of game three goes on to win the series 74%.
30:06And the Clippers take our two games to one series advantage over the Denver Nuggets.
30:16An important game four in what has been one of the best first-round series in these playoffs.
30:24Tied.
30:25Eight seconds to go on regulation.
30:30I'm a guard, Aaron Gordon, who, you know, taller than me, you know, bigger than me, you know.
30:34And just, it's a battle of the entire series.
30:37And he's been playing well this entire postseason.
30:39Jokic to the ball, the one-on-one with Zubox.
30:41Two seconds left.
30:42Fade away.
30:44Jokic turns around, takes a fadeaway one-leg shot.
30:47If the ball hits the rim, you know what I mean, like, it's overtime.
30:50The ball goes right over the rim like it was like a perfect alley-oop.
30:54And this is for the man.
30:55I'm not even athletic enough to get up there and, and, and it was just time, so we'll.
31:02Oh my God!
31:04At the horn!
31:05You count that basket!
31:08That one, that one was heartbreaking.
31:10What I realized is, like, obviously, you gotta be, like, very talented.
31:13And you gotta have some work.
31:15You know what I mean?
31:15Like, you gotta have things go your way.
31:17Whatever he does, all you have to do is say game six, game seven, close out, and this
31:29brother's gonna have a problem.
31:31And there's no explanation for it because his talent shows you otherwise.
31:37And now we are set up for a pivotal game five.
31:41Hunters have back-to-back wins.
31:43It's rocking.
31:44Hardball by Jordan.
31:46Murray on the runaway.
31:48Kawhi chasers.
31:49And Murray powers it down!
31:53The Clippers with their backs against the wall.
31:57Game six.
31:58Harden.
31:58Straight away.
31:59Backfires the three.
32:01Bottom!
32:01The deer from downtown!
32:04Tonight, James Harden is getting it done.
32:08Well, James Harden had it a big game.
32:11And that'll do it.
32:12We're headed to a game seven.
32:15Peek-a-boats.
32:16From the start of game one, this looked like a series was going seven, and now it is.
32:22That's what it's all about.
32:23Whatever it takes to win.
32:24All right?
32:25Game seven coming up.
32:26Get your rest.
32:27Let's go for it.
32:27All right?
32:28Come on, man.
32:28Let's go.
32:28Come on, man.
32:29Two words that get every basketball fan excited.
32:43Game seven.
32:44Going into game seven, I feel like I'm ready to get it on.
32:47People were like, what is he going to do?
32:48I already knew what I was going to do.
32:50I think James Harden is a prolific offensive player.
32:53I've never considered him a May and June player.
32:58Certain personalities are built for the last eight weeks.
33:03And I don't think he's won.
33:06We had one game.
33:07We took it the whole time.
33:09We had on three.
33:09One, two, three.
33:10Let's go.
33:10The anxiety kicks up before the game, and, you know, people were, everybody's talking
33:17about it, and, you know, it's just a thing.
33:19You know, looking back on it, we had a couple games that we left up a way that, you know,
33:23you want to take back.
33:24And it's always going to feel like that.
33:26Just can't wait for the Clippers and the Nuggets.
33:28It's been a great battle all series.
33:30I would expect nothing less than a great finale.
33:36Game seven is underway in Denver.
33:40There's so many different variables that's happening in the games, especially game seven,
33:55where the pressure's amplified, you know, I mean, people are probably just trying to
33:58scramble, figure things out.
34:00Come here, guy.
34:01Just be patient.
34:02Let's switch your port on me.
34:04Yeah.
34:04Drive him.
34:05Harden inches his way towards the rim.
34:08Step back, Jay.
34:09He gets the one.
34:10I like the patience there.
34:11Harden just lets things develop.
34:13I feel like I was in control of the game.
34:15Harden, left-handed, dribbled, double-steam behind the back.
34:18Bogdanovich is trying the middle end.
34:20Good for it.
34:21Knock it down.
34:21First quarter, you know, I think I had a couple points.
34:23I had like six assists, two blocks.
34:25So, like, I'm just impacting the game in other ways.
34:27Murray, next door, finds the ground.
34:28Cuts blocked by Harden.
34:30Harden with a spectacular recovery on that block.
34:33Harden at the low go.
34:34Left swing.
34:35He blocks it for Zoo.
34:36Catches, spins for her again.
34:37And the Clippers close the quarter on a 13-6 run.
34:43And then eventually, as the game went on, you know, probably missed a couple shots, but
34:48we're not in.
34:49Oh, it is.
34:50Right through the end of the cross.
34:52On the feed.
34:53That's perfect.
34:54Yeah.
34:55It's the crowd to the touchdown.
34:59Crowd started getting into it.
35:00We draw different plays.
35:01You know, they put two on the ball.
35:02It continued to work.
35:03And it just goes down to her from now.
35:05You know, so you're just trying to find ways to be more aggressive.
35:20You know what I mean?
35:20To where R. Koo, you might get it in transition.
35:23Track down by Harden.
35:26Intercepted by Westbrook.
35:27Court is in.
35:29And finish.
35:30Time out.
35:33Flippers.
35:37Momentum, they made a couple shots, and we just couldn't stop the run.
35:42Jokic in the lane.
35:43Lobs it up.
35:44Brown muscles it in.
35:46Murray's jumper.
35:47It's textbook.
35:48So smooth.
35:50Here's a steal by Westbrook.
35:51Westbrook going on.
35:52Tactical foul on Westbrook for Hand on the rim.
36:01He says he doesn't care.
36:04But it's something like that.
36:05I'm not a little similar to what I am, but that's not what he said.
36:10This one's got not a hand.
36:12And Los Angeles could not recover.
36:14The championship and experience of the Denver Nuggets does them in.
36:23Disappointing end to a promising season as the Clippers lose Game 7.
36:28At the end of the day, like, you know, individually we were wanting things.
36:33Like, we were wanting things to play out how we envisioned in our head.
36:36I would want to be here with the Clippers and, you know, retire here and, you know, try to win a championship and just continue to build a team.
36:44Just got to be group.
36:46Looking ready to get better at the individual, at the team.
36:50Try again next year.
36:52Shit don't stop.
36:54When you lose in the first round, that's probably even more painful than not making the playoffs at all.
36:59I really think that Clippers team believed that they had an opportunity to win the whole thing.
37:04For James Harden, I don't know a superstar with less playoff accolades than him.
37:09Good enough.
37:11I got him in.
37:12I know how hard that is.
37:14I have so much expectation on you.
37:15When you just hear so much talk about your overall legacy as a player.
37:22You start thinking about your career and your place in the game and your place in history.
37:27And that shit don't even matter, man, when you're playing ball.
37:30It should just be about being free and having fun and coping.
37:34There's so much noise around your place in the game as a player.
37:40It's easy to think about stuff like that.
37:41I've accomplished more in my lifetime than anybody would ever imagine.
37:46And at the end of the day, like, I'm going to go down as one of your best basketball players ever.
37:52Which, like, coming from where I come from, it was like, I'm going to think of that.
37:58You know?
37:58Like, future Hall of Famer.
38:00So, of course, I want to win the championship.
38:04And I'm going to still concede a try.
38:07What?
38:08You think you want my hamburger?
38:09You got cheese curds.
38:10Yeah, but I got a Kinsmeel.
38:12It's right there.
38:12I see.
38:13Somebody else got cheese curds.
38:14Taryn?
38:15Taryn?
38:15Yeah, I got fries for sure.
38:17The Athletic put out their latest anonymous player pool yesterday.
38:21Who's the most overrated player in the league?
38:25And Tyrese Halliburton took the win.
38:28I guess if you want to call it that, Halliburton get 14.4% of the vote.
38:33If that had happened to me, that's great motivation.
38:38Oh, you really one of them dogs?
38:42All right, I'm taking names.
38:44Just wait.
38:45We'll keep the receipts.
38:46Who's the most overrated player in the league?
38:49Tyrese Halliburton.
38:54I'm sure there's a lot of guys in the NBA who feel like, one-on-one, I would kill Tyrese Halliburton.
38:59Which, I mean, they're allowed to feel all they want to.
39:04But I don't give a fuck, to be honest with you.
39:07Oh, I don't give a fuck, to be honest with you.
39:07Yeah.
39:08I'm sure there's a lot of guys in the NBA who feel like, I have to get to be honest with you.
