CELTICS DOMINATE THE MAVS | #nbafinals REACTION | RICHARD JEFFERSON, KENDRICK PERKINS, CHANNING FRYE

[Music] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Zer blast off we’re live oh we’re we’re doing this for real we’re doing this for real welcome to road trip and live game one NBA Finals Ally Clifton Richard Jefferson Channing fry uh big perk will be joining us whenever he gets done with his other duties how many time or how many times how many hours were you on television today Richard he works for ESPN in case you guys know five hours we had three hour show some stuff before did hoop streams with Cass and uh perk um before the pregame before the game so it was yeah it was good good four hours of Television no big deal with ESPN Channing you’re done with Turner right I have one more I have one more thing I have one more thing game six Dallas game six hopefully everyone still likes you at that point the wine cheers it is chosen actually having said all that um yeah they’re GNA love me don’t don’t worry about it they’re there’s some Trolls but I got y mama jokes ready are they trolling because CIS Chris steps porzingis welcome back K nobody saw that a no way game one reaction no do you know how hard that is for him to not play for a month not be afraid of the moment dominate his matchup and start cooking that early it was just like what am I going to say but that doesn’t change the fact of when the question was asked why asked and to be honest here’s the real deal here’s the real deal Derek Lively means more to the Mavericks than Chris Taps means to the the Celtics and that’s still a fact that is a fact you think Jaylen Brown was gonna go in there Like a Torpedo trying to get those fouls the whole Dallas Mavericks team was different when Derek Lively was out right and and let me just say this right now give Joe Joe moula gets roasted a lot I don’t know who he worked with if he talked to Phil Jackson himself today’s game plan was Immaculate tell me Ally how many assists d uh Luca Donas had had one assist one one assist so he goes you’re going to play oneone okay play oneone versus five of my guys and we’ll take our chances I Tonight Tonight Richard that was a great game plan tonight they knew Dallas looked a little nervous Kyrie was off PJ Washington was off Lively was off Lucas said I’m not afraid of the moment but he goes who was who’s with me we’re going streaking through the quad he was by himself where’s my I’m just trying to get the stats okay this is the moment where we don’t overreact too much no no no I’m not talking to you in general I’m just saying in general we don’t want to overreact too much we don’t want to overreact too much that’s not what we do but yeah they got they ass whooped yeah it was it was a cing it was that [ __ ] was crazy I guess when and it’s everything this is how they’re going to play Luca and that’s where the game one is so when I got all the heat about oh the game two the team goes in has a strategic Advantage right because now Luca is like okay this is how you’re going to guard me this is what we’re going to do and this is how we’re going to try and approach it and attack it from next right so oh we only have one assist okay why did I only have one assist on top of they were shooting 50% off of his passes that’s what they were doing now a lot of these are the lob dunks but threes all the stuff his guys were cooking off of his passes we know that Joe Missoula knows that and they’re like look if Luca can’t score enough points to beat us he can’t right like like we have that offense we got these dudes he can’t score enough points in four games to beat us but what we can’t do is give him the 30 he’s leading scorer in the league we can’t give him his 30 and give him the 10 11 12 so we can’t but it’s still harder to do to oh we’re just gonna make you play one-on-one but you can do that you can do one-on-one and I think there was some fatigue in that early part right obviously pres when I say fatigue for the Dallas m right there you haven’t played in Eight Days your adrenaline and when I say fatigue is like your adrenaline pumped so high that literally it’s like a caffeine crash yeah a caffeine like everybody is like okay just calm down like CH because your adrenaline is literally pumping out of your ears like these guys will not go to sleep till it’s 11 they won’t go to sleep till three in the morning right remember that playing in the finals you cannot sleep because you’re I take zil yeah I I took I took Tylenol PM at like 5 AM whiskey PM am yeah Tylenol PM BL PM no I would no no we W like that it was after game it was after game six right because we come from my point is this you could see the fatigue you not nervousness but it’s just like you’re constantly trying to calm yourself down versus trying to play and then in the second half they did better no one saw it coming poring is is not going to hit seven threes in the first half of every game great for him missing a month has an historic NBA game that’s part of that’s part of it I just think when I look at the game Jason Tatum he played an okay but he didn’t need to do much because porzingis carried them in that first quarter carried them in that first half and so it’s like the way they are playing and the way that Dallas is gonna play I think it will level out obviously I still don’t change much in the series but boy we got punched in our mouths the first two games most combined losses like points losses in NBA history and then we went on to win you know what I’m saying four out of four out of the next six I I do have to say this because obviously we just addressed channing’s hot take of the KP dererk Lively and I recognized and that was your it was a hot take not it was a medium take okay medium temp having said that take a drink Rich coming into this there was a lot of discussion about who the the second best player we all had Luca the top player who the second best player a good night how old is she now uh how old are you now seven six okay close hi Linux Roxy seven oh my God is that Roxy no this is Lennox oh I was gonna say why did she I was gonna say that looks like Lennox good night oh um okay so the second and third best player there was this discussion about whether it was Kyrie or Tatum and after game one we’re not going to overreact but I think you were wrong on both oh can we give some love to Jaylen Brown he’s the best player in the Celtics right now 22 and six three steals three blocks both don’t look at Stats Ally do not look at Stats oh he the way he was blocking sh the it was the blocks that he had all don’t look at let me tell you this I’ll just give you facts and you guys can look at not the stats there you go his his gamesmanship made sure that Dallas did not go on a run his gamesmanship stop them right in their tracks oh y’ y’all going on a run I’mma go in here like a cannonball Derek Lively done hey oh nobody everyone’s jacking up threes I’m G drive the hole like he he does not get enough credit for going like instead of just going with what they think they should do he goes with what he feels and 99% of the time what he feels is the right thing what’s up no so Jaylen Brown here say hi right yeah again look at this guy come here God why are you so tall bro hey I saw your ball handling you’re looking good you’re looking good bro looking better than him listen to him Braun and everybody said the exact same thing on the TCH chain you already drove better than your dad of course he is yeah now hey that’s not the the highest level it’s baby level but it’s like Finals MVP yeah but okay okay this is why we don’t overa we’re like we’re like Jaylen Brown he was six for 11 from the fre to line like that’s what I’m saying Jason Tatum also had six turnovers that’s what I’m saying that’s why like with for Jason Tatum I think the part about his game that I see the maturity in is that it’s it’s still the 11 rebounds it’s still the five assists right same with Jaylen Brown in the block defense right the rebounding that’s the development of Jason of Jason Tatum I love that so it’s like when I look at his six for 16 42 minutes good for him but they had five guys in double figures Hower had eight right they didn’t they didn’t even get anything from pton Pritchard he was 0 for seven so that’s what I’m saying it’s like that’s where the emotional roller coaster is gonna happen in this series right like without porzingis his performance tonight they don’t I don’t I won’t say don’t win this game this is a this is a we’re gonna go into crunch time yeah it’s a much different team this team also beat more teams by or more than anybody in NBA history so when they hit all these boys hit and when they drop they drop so it’s still just the beginning their drive and kick is crazy to me because they wait till the literal when they get to the hole it’s like they look up at the hoop if there’s one or two guys it’s an automatic spray and I’m just so impressed that they are so unselfish and everyone is so ready to shoot it’s so it’s like it’s it’s fun to watch at times but then in the beginning of the third quarter you’re like oh here we go like they just like they don’t want to break that Rhythm but Jaylen Brown will or like Jason Tatum let’s say this he didn’t have a good game and let’s just be real he didn’t have a great game but when he decides to just drive to the hoop he can get to the hoop at will and I just don’t understand why he doesn’t and start the game going you know what first seven shots I’m just going to drive by whoever’s in front of me B 6869 and then you know what if you come I’m spraying out and I’m just gonna do that because you can’t stop it I just don’t understand that for me and then secondly I just don’t I don’t think how about this let me rephrase this Richard and allly can the Celtics win if Jaylen Brown isn’t their best player this year this year 1,00% they can’t have they won when Jaylen Brown isn’t their best player no no no no no wait wait wait you’re saying that no there’s been wins that Jason Tatum has been the best player in the postseason multiple times for their team I you Jason didn’t you say Jaylen Brown he’s saying you’re saying can they not your best player in the series series can they win I’m confus I’m confused as his question because he thinks that they Jaylen Brown had the best game today and you’re saying can they can they yeah you’re saying can they win the championship with Jaylen Brown being their best player is that what you’re kind of say not being the best player not yeah yeah so Jaylen Brown has an off game that means you’re relying on Tatum you’re relying on KP you’re relying on basically committing dere white you’re relying on like through holiday yes that’s the problem with these boys these boys these boys cruise through the Eastern Conference and the Eastern Conference was not hard this year nine and one without the 20 point a game seven foot4 three-point shooter they went nine and one in those 10 games so can they win oh yes they can especially with kpb especially let’s say he doesn’t go for 20 right and and he hits his average in 21 minutes he did that 20 points in 21 minutes you’re not like you’re not going to win that game like I’ll go back I’ll go back to NAS Reed 73 game when he hits seven threes and they lose you’re like oh this is gonna be a problem for Minnesota because you got the extra from an unexpected like he exceeded his normal level you got to win that game right I think the bigger question or statement is that Dallas can they win a game or two if Kyrie doesn’t respond I know the answer to that obviously but what do you anticipate from Kyrie obviously coming out because 12 points as we mentioned luuka had 30 rest of the team 59 Kyrie and PJ 0 for eight from three Kyrie I didn’t realize this now 0 for 11 0 and 11 not 0 for 11 0 and 11 versus the Celtics in his last 11 games I’ll be honest and this is the truth I honestly believed this Josh Green kba Lively Hardy away got outplayed by porzingis Hower and Pritchard that can’t happen when Luca goes out they have to win that matchup you have to win that matchup you canot allow the Celtics to put in their bench and give credit to again bringing porzingis Off the Bench where that’s a favorable matchup to him so he sees the game he’s not nervous he comes in and he’s always put in a situation to be successful to me the Mavericks bench you have to win that matchup you can’t be three points two points two points like just Hardy did okay like he had 13 but like it was a weird 13 right it wasn’t like it didn’t move the needle but like to me Kyrie’s gonna be up and down he’s gonna have two three four guys guarding him Luca’s gonna do Luca Kyrie’s gonna be up and down PJ Washington needs to make open threes uh Derrik Jones Jr needs to make layups if you’re going to go in there my guy you got the most hops on the court you got to dunk on somebody or just finish just give me a layup do you know okay so there’s certain athletes and know are okay so Derrick Jones Jr right we know there are certain athletes that can jump with space and there’s certain athletes that can jump through contact he is not a jump through contact person no again they call him airplane beating his [ __ ] up today air helicopters do this airplanes need time to hit their elevation he’s and I’ve been watching him a lot that I’m like he’s not a go through a contact and not I saying he won’t dunk on somebody he’s one of those guys that if you hit him before he gets to his Peak you got a chance if he’s at he’s a floater yeah you gotta he’s not a power guy Zion you’re not none no no Zion when he goes like this you gotta move move but yeah you’re done I look I I say all that to say channy you’re right I I the reason why I hate this game game for game one is because you’re going to see these gross like overreactions and like for Kyrie if they’re gonna keep Luca at home and and one of the things that we have to look at they didn’t shoot the ball well and it’s rare to see Luca with one assist um Joe ma literally went back in the last two three years Luca had zero assists in a game in which he only played three minutes back in 2023 I mean it is like you have to go back I don’t even know if he’s ever back point point there Rich sorry yeah yeah no but but to the one assist thing I’m I’m not really tripping over they had shot the ball really well there’s a good defense great players figure it out and there’s not a human being on this planet there there’s not a human being on this planet that won’t say Luca is a great um exit I want to exit full screen because I want to see this chat talk a little no the chat is like Celtic in five y’all come on now come on now again I stand by I stand by I did not expect the Dallas series versus Minnesota let me get back to Lucas or TCA once he figures out how to move that ball they just gotta knock down shots right they just gotta knock down shots and it it again now I’m glad we have something to talk about we can look how that they’re going to guard these guys but they’re going to figure it out I I I stand by doesn’t doesn’t mean that they’re going to win the series but Dallas will give a better performance than this and if zingas continues to do what he does then there’s no chance this was the best team in the NBA all year long they were Dallas was seven for 27 from three do we think Dallas will shoot better than that yeah they probably they were they the the Celtics shot 42 threes at 38% you cannot that many at they shot half of their shots were threes can I give you some context on that chanon because you lose your absolute brain cells when they shoot these threes one it’s what they do it’s what they’ve done all season long they’ve gotten up 40 or more attempts on average in half of their postseason games this postseason and when they hit 14 or more they’re nine and0 they’re now 10 and0 like it’s what they do I understand Ali how do you not go into a game and say don’t let them shoot 43s if they shoot twos they shoot twos like it is what it is everyone knows this I know this it’s harder said than done obviously obvious somebody said somebody said Lively look like a deer in headlights that’s a great observation great bit what were you doing today [ __ ] what were you doing today what were you doing today he’s also 20 years old yeah he’s 20 years old playing in the NBA Finals with the world watch let’s your dad just kidding I just like yo come on Le let’s calm down with the oh he no bro let’s not let’s not get carried this way Celtics respected the [ __ ] out of lively because they avoided a lot of think they were not going at him right uh you know I don’t it’s just he didn’t have a great game but to see how much he impacts we’re not even talking about Gafford who had an even shittier game like that was a whole different team the vibe was different um they just need to calm down even Jason kids said it halftime guys go have fun like they were so tight and tense like this is all been there and you think about how many were on that stage for the first time it it’s it’s perfect figit out now you better figure that out it’s perfectly normal let’s not overreact right let’s not overreact like like this is what it is right don’t forget Minnesota beat Denver the first two games and then all of a sudden they’re like oh and then it goes to seven right that they’ve lost game one of every single series I believe what yeah they lost no yeah Mavs lost no they didn’t lose game one of the Minnesota but they lost game one of uh the first two Series so my thing is this where’s Big perk I don’t know probably somewhere eatting right why would you say that late night all thought about it but look snacking snack yeah y’all y’all y’all at perk and say where you at um but uh no no no I I I look at what people saying this is a sweep hey if this is a sweep that’s cool there’s a Kendrick concert on June 19th at The Forum that I would love to attend so whatever happen this is the sweep that would be we need to have real hard discussions about where the future of the NBA is going and that means everyone’s gonna Jack 53s a game [ __ ] that’s been the case since the Warriors in 15 what are you talking about 50 50 is a lot but they have a team to do that true they have a team to do that they got a seven foot guy that only shoots threes they got they are littered with threes like shout out think Lively I would take Lively over porzingis but he’d be crushing more than he has ever done ever in his career porzingis dominates that switch matchup he’s gonna shoot that little mid-range he drove left made that dunk but he’d be killing that that that switch he does I don’t hate somebody said Channing hates threes I don’t hate threes Channing hates threes then you don’t know [ __ ] basketball this dude is like third all time in seven Footers in the NBA history at three-point shots I don’t hate threes like out for threes I’m fine when you just pass it around and shoot step back when you do that that makes me upset let me help you out bro let me help you out do you know why Channon gets frustrated threes when Jason Tatum who is 6′ n and a half athle monster plays 42 minutes and gets two free throws that that’s the part where it’s like why are you not aggressive it’s not it’s not the I don’t like threes or they shoot too many it’s like that’s not a good balance of basketball that’s what you’re saying there’s a balance to everything that’s all I’m someone said I’m uh just because I don’t want to Butch your name I’m surprised that Kyrie and donin didn’t hunt Horford more in the first half dude Boston’s weak side defense was Immaculate tonight yeah like they just said don’t foul weak side’s coming over last minute right one thing about Kyrie when he goes up especially for a regular layup which you saw him start to change in the second half he literally goes up in front of this and then the other guy from the weak side blocks it it’s so smart and he switched to now shooting jumpers and floaters but porzingis moved his feet and dude was Bal this is one of those things that when we break this down porzingis Off the Bench Hower actually had a pretty good stretch there three for four eight points plus 17 he wasn’t a dud on defense that’s what I was worried about they tried to find him and then they loaded up they said Hower don’t foul force him into a two Jaylen Brown was there porzingis was there like all those dudes were there they were just like dude like go make them go to the rest don’t let him shoot threes okay let’s break it down the best team in the NBA the most talented team in the NBA played well played very play play they didn’t play great I stand by 107 they scored 107 points they didn’t play great Dallas scored 89 points right so that’s what I’m saying they didn’t play great I thought the best team in the world played good and this is the difference back to the old Warriors the 17 the Kevin Durant that Warriors Squad they could play good and you could play great and they could beat you yeah if you play great no one is if if the if the 17 Warriors played great no one was beating them if they played like oh they’ve had a great game there are teams like d there are C certain teams that could have a great game and still lose the Celtics can’t if the Celtics have a great game no one is beating them so the best team played well and won the best team in the NBA all year long played well Dallas got some work to do they’re G to be fine I think this series still goes longer I I think the seven when people are saying oh I think this is seven I think it’s this to me I take it as I take it as because they have the best players on Dallas like like Luca is the best player in the series Kyrie has been playing great basketball their team looks like they were the best team finishing the season and then the way they’ve played in the post season they’ve played outstanding so you’re kind of saying well maybe their team is also at the level of the Boston Celtics I don’t really think that they are but I do think that they are Elite so we’re gonna find out but I think this series is GNA continue to get interesting and it’s gonna it’s gonna Kyrie’s gonna answer Kyrie’s gonna answer I would say this about performance Kyrie’s answer the performance for Kyrie forget the 01 there’s an emotion when we talked about the adrenaline to start this the adrenaline L to trying to calm down Kyrie’s trying to do the exact same thing this is an emotional series for him say whatever you want the way he left Cleveland the way he left even Brooklyn the way those places were not as intense as the way he left Boston just so to be back here for the finals and even the Boston fans they knew they were fearful because they didn’t start chaning Kyrie sucks till after they got the lead after they got Le that’s when you heard the chance that’s how I knew that they were like respecting Kyrie they were like okay let’s chill out once they got up it was like Kyrie sucks three minutes into that game in that first quarter that wasn’t what they were chanting but then he got going that 37-2 that that was nuts first quarter set the largest lead after the first quarter in NBA finals history damn it was weird it was uh I I think obviously everything is I don’t want to say everything’s 50-50 but you look at some of the shots that Dallas missed and then you say damn well Boston played really good defense right I think when we look at this series we knew it was going to be close and people obviously you know we’re looking at the comments in the NBA Finals 25 or two it does not matter to your mind it doesn’t matter it’s a loss right you analyze the loss so people going oh they beat the [ __ ] out of them that’s because their game plan worked and Dallas didn’t adjust or Dallas didn’t make shots or Dallas didn’t uh uh uh like play the chess game that game this is why these are the two best teams right in every series The the bench needs to win you a game your two best players need to win you a game and your coach needs to win you a game who do you think won this game tonight I think this was missoula’s game after this he puts his hands up and goes Tatum Brown and our bench y’all gotta win us a game I’ve done my job I age now if they can do that from here then obviously the Celtics will win but if they cannot you could literally argue I was just thinking about this especially with KP back you could literally argue that the fourth best player on the Celtics could be a top one or two player on multiple teams in the NBA no yeah especially some shitty teams you’re talking about you’re talking about just kind of the depth and what fourth best player on the Celtics I just want to hear from you you don’t even know it could literally it it’s Derek white it’s it’s Derek white or Drew holiday the one two one two and three wi healthy is Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown porzingis don’t give me all this defensive all these people that were try I love Dereck white love Drew holiday you’re not game planning against Dereck White you’re not game planning against against Drew holiday now you have strategic things that you want to do but their names are not at the top of the list all right guys what are we gonna do about Derek white that ain’t what it is they’re like all right what are we gonna do about porzingis all right how we okay how are we gonna handle Jason Tatum so if you’re saying in rank and channy you know this in a scouting room and we’re breaking it down your order of importance is Jason Tatum head of the snake Jaylen Brown who’s right there porzingis once he gets there he 7 foot4 and post up at the free throw line against 6′ s people that’s a problem like now Derek white and Drew holiday are Elite Defenders that score shoot the ball well do all of the things but they eat off of the system that Jaylen Jason and then porzingis when healthy present Fair yeah that’s fair yeah I um Real Talk honestly these are one of these games where you know you assume with the momentum that Dallas had had they would come in and punch first right but even in the last series Dallas and Minnesota are opening punchers when they punch first and it works they usually win that game and Dallas punch first the Celtics punched a [ __ ] out of uh Dallas today right the Celtics punch a [ __ ] out of Dallas today and all of a sudden like Dallas goes oh uh uh what do we do so I’m curious to see game two like again I I am impressed with how the Celtics came out eight days off or whatever they had off their freaking porzingis is impressive porz I mean what are you gonna do that’s gonna be the talk of the next two days is if he would have had this if he would have had this if he hadn’t missed all the time I think it would be less as like oh my God porzingis this is who he is this is what he yeah that’s what I’m saying this is what he does all the time he just missed the last 10 games and they were nine and one in those 10 games so they didn’t miss them they just got a shot in the arm of some super Juice by the seven foot4 Lan pressure still on pressure still on Boston Richard yeah 100% 100% because they won game one no the pressure on them because I think I think just kidding that’s no no no I say no no no I think the pressure is on them because they are the best team they have the most to lose they’ve been here multiple times like that that is really just the story Dallas loses they weren’t even supposed to be here they’re quote unquote ahead of schedule so they weren’t supposed to be here they do have the best player there’s a lot at risk for their like some of the guys Legacy like Jason kid who wants to win his first you know the first you know champion ionship then there’s Kyrie who’s you know redefining himself before our very eyes as a very mature like competent leader on the coure off the court he’s doing a great job Luca all those things the Celtics need to win this Championship oh yeah they had the easiest route through their conference they were able to win so much that they were able to rest pingis I stand by the fact that if like Indiana series went to seven or so porzingis would have been back in that game but they bought more time and just like bro we don’t need you to the finals we would rather instead of you coming back at 75% you know a week ago we’ll waake wait till you’re 85% and we’ll get you in the finals so I don’t know the pressure is gonna be on the the pressure is on the Celtics it don’t matter how many games it takes they just gotta win yeah and man people just never really heard your take from at the beginning of the postseason because they’re all saying it’s on Dallas because they can’t go down o two what what do you mean oh begin what do you mean Dallas can’t go down 02 yeah remember when you said the winning team has the most pressure and people didn’t understand your te they they didn’t they didn’t understand no no no no I didn’t say the winning team has the most pressure I said the losing team has the Strategic Advantage going forward Channing will correct will will admit AKA you said has the most pressure on them and then you had to explain it yes yeah yeah yeah you got yeah when you win you’re not changing anything you tweak things you’re not changing anything you’re not changing anything matter of fact I bet you we don’t see pingis porzingis is going to come off the bench until they lose a game and he’s laughing because he knows the truth the truth truth it’s the truth he’s not a bench player and even if he’s playing 21 minutes like you want a guy especially coming off a cap you want a good warmup in straight into the game if you do a good warmup and you sit your seven foot five ass down and he’s probably on a bike somewhere probably doing something then you gotta kind of warm back up into the game so they’ll keep them off the bench especially with this performance if they win every sing they’re not changing [ __ ] so they’re going to keep it as it is they they’ll restrict his minutes give them that and then let them lose game two porzingis will start game three in Dallas if they win game two porzingis will most likely come off the bench that’s what we’re talking about just the second time in his career he’s come off the bench and happen to G one of the NBA finals I’m G say this right now do you think he gives a [ __ ] if he’s coming off the bench no if he gets to play a favorable match up you see that smile no no and also listen everyone you I’m I’m on the comments right I’m on them and they’re like oh Channing picked porz or Lively over porzingis guys if you watch the whole damn clip I said because porzingis haven’t even played in the whole [ __ ] playoffs so you got one guy made one game versus a rookie that has played almost every single game and we see the impact of what Lively does for Dallas versus what porzingis does for Boston you you cannot tell me on any scale that porzingis is more important to Boston than Lively is to Dallas it’s not it’s a fact Lively is more important to Dallas if he’s not out on the court they have no chance of winning it’s the truth if Lively if porzingis doesn’t play they still have oh Al Horford the the how many time Allstar that is obviously more cap just as capable of helping them win games that’s it so I’m gonna triple down on what I’m saying somebody was like Matthew Manley don’t give me that saying the Celtics should win because they’re better and then you all pick the maths to win stop making excuses like I I’m trying not to talk to you like because normally I would like like to talk to somebody like that like like we weren’t on camera so I’ll avoid it um yeah it’s one game like the Celtics are the best team we just think that that that the Mavericks are playing great and they have that’s why nobody’s like oh the Celtics in five but but Matthew at any point in time if you would like to um start a podcast if you would like to start telling everybody your stuff and then if you would like an apology or if you would like to do it come on right but every person that has played their game this their whole life is sitting here saying it’s a tossup this is what I think about them I said Mavericks in seven yeah if you let’s not I didn’t say Mavericks was gonna sweep I didn’t say Boston was gonna sweep I said Mavericks in seven okay I feel like Luca’s the best player when usually you have the best player you win the series okay that is my reasoning this is the last thing I’m gonna say and then I gotta go I gotta go meet JJ uh apparently there’s a Yukon head coaching job that’s gonna be open so I want to go talk to him about that um okay that was a little funny um no what I want to talk about is this if anyone in the media ever says in seven it’s because they don’t know big

okay cool I make the effort I respond you know what I’m saying when I make a commitment I hold myself accountable to my people perk before okay before we log off here because I think we have dissected this game upside down inside out all the things being president requires stamina he’s got that stamina having said that heyo uh how was the batting cage not really the batting cage y’all saw it y’all saw Richard jealous RJ jealous he trying to make it a competition now no it ain’t no comp competition I went there I stood on business you know what I’m saying I was 500 from the plate which was good for me you know good for me you know I’m saying and look press that’s the thing that people don’t realize I had a lot of pressure I had it was it was it was about 20 cameras there right then I had the whole Red Sox team they watching me the entire Braves team watching me the spotlight was on me I stepped up to the plate I haven’t swung a bat since I was in the fourth grade you know what I’m saying and I stepped up to the plate and I did what I had to do 500 they threw me 12 pictures I hit six of them it’s not bad that’s not bad look no I perk I’m gonna say this when I say I am jealous of you it is not that I’m gonna go out there and try and do better than you I am je yes obviously I’m saying obviously but I’m saying I’m not I’m not trying to I’m jealous that you got to do BP at finway that is what I’m jealous of I’m GNA try and go do it with the Rangers when we go to Dallas because I just I don’t know if they’re G first of all one of the cool things about our job is if they’re gonna let us do cool [ __ ] cool all right you guys want me go do BP inway I’m in do people like you in Dallas Richard you’re only there for like a year and a half so real real talk let me say this though when they first bought it to me Pete did he was like Hey perk look I’mma set it up I want you to go to you know fway they got a game you’re going to go you’re going to chop it up interview you know what I’m saying ask the Red Sox ask the players some questions and then you go you know you go they go put the bat in your hands and we want to record you getting a couple swings I’m like all right cool and I hung up the phone I’m like not [ __ ] doing this [ __ ] right I did I did that’s that’s what I said to myself I was gonna do it but I had to said once I got off the phone with him like I ain’t doing that [ __ ] but then I booked my flight to make sure I made it on time but but look it was one of the best experiences that I like had in my life because I got to see the other side right like so many people we have these conversations can basketball players play football can football players play basketball baseball players get paid all this money and they don’t have to do a lot of work that is not true I have a whole another level respect for what they do their craft the way that they show up five hours early uh before his time the agility drills the batting uh you know everything that they go through to get prepared to go and out there and play the game but I stand by this we had the best job the NBA is better than Major League Baseball is better than NFL it’s better than it to me basketball it’s funny because like even better than hockey baseball players play every single day they get to the ballpark five hours every single day we show up two hours before game time we don’t share rooms like football players we like baseball players are like look we were very blessed to have the best job but baseball hitting a baseball is by far somebody said you look like a dark skinned uh a dark skinned uh Uncle Phil they said you like a dark skinned uncle why doesn’t he want me and on that note you guys are you guys are amazing no no no you’re not ready you’re not ready no
