00:00You realize it was a disaster, though.
00:02Was it?
00:03Yes.
00:04Were they within two points in the fourth quarter?
00:06But, Chris, no, no.
00:08No, no, no.
00:09Don't do that.
00:10You're telling me what about the series?
00:12Hold on.
00:13Hold on.
00:13Let me just get my point.
00:14What about the way the starters had played to that point in the series
00:17suggested that it would have been any different?
00:19It doesn't matter.
00:20It didn't work.
00:21The experiment didn't work.
00:22What you're doing is you're saying, what if, what if, what if, what if?
00:26It didn't work.
00:27Look, see, this is the exercise.
00:29What happens if the regular starters went out there and they laid it and
00:32they, you don't think you would have come in here the next day?
00:34Oh, he should have done something and shut it up.
00:37No, not with the starting lineup.
00:38I think their poor starts were anomalous.
00:40I think at some point water is going to find its level and these guys are
00:43going to play up to the way they've been playing for the entirety of the
00:47regular season.
00:49Disagree.
00:50Okay.
00:51Well, obviously, Missoula disagreed.
00:53Couldn't just do the same thing for three, three games when it did not work?
00:56Was it important to have a better start to these games?
01:00We talked about this in the first five minutes.
01:02100%.
01:02I thought it was game six and game seven.
01:04I thought they needed to come out and settle.
01:05So they spot them the first nine points and then they go down, what was it,
01:0830 to 15 or 30 to 16?
01:10Yeah, they were 28, 28-15 for when I remember.
01:13Maybe it was worse.
01:14And I get fatalists and I say dumb things in the moment and get emotions
01:17caught up.
01:18But when it was 9-0, I threw my hands up and said, it's over.
01:23It's over.
01:23They're not going to win this game.
01:24And when it was 30-15, I said, that's it.
01:26It's all done.
01:27It's not happening.
01:28But they still had chances.
01:29Yeah, but they would have won if they hadn't gotten down by nine then.
01:32If you want to play that, well, no, Chris, mathematically, they would have.
01:35If you want to play a game that they got it within one, they would have been up by
01:38eight if they had not gone down.
01:40What if they were down 20 with the regular starters?
01:42But they weren't.
01:44But we can do this all day.
01:45No, we can't, Chris.
01:46We can't do it all day.
01:47Because the question is simple.
01:51No.
01:52The question is simple.
01:55Fine.
01:56You liked it at the time.
01:57I like it right now.
01:59It didn't work.
02:00It's okay.
02:02Not everything worked.
02:03You still had a chance to win that game.
02:04How is it okay?
02:04They lost.
02:05They're done.
02:06They're out in the first round.
02:07They were a huge favorite.
02:09They should be in the NBA championship game.
02:11And then you blow the start of a game seven at home by putting Shireman, Garza, and Ron
02:19Harper Jr. out there.
02:21Guys who have questionable basketball skills.
02:25And Harper, I don't even know if he belongs in the league.
02:29And you put those guys out there.
02:30You put them out there.
02:32They end up losing the game.
02:34And you say, it's okay.
02:36I'm good with it.
02:37It was the right move.
02:38They needed to do something.
02:39And they needed to empower everybody.
02:40But then not that.
02:41They might have needed to do something.
02:42But not that.
02:43Because it didn't work.
