00:00are you happy with how the regular season went to seed third most wins in the league third best
00:05scoring differential is that is that satisfactory or do you look at it and go they weren't even the
00:10best team in the conference we thought they'd be making a run at one of the best seasons in
00:14franchise history and they couldn't even pull out the one seed in the east how do you view their
00:18regular season yeah it's a little surprising to me that they didn't have more wins i think it's
00:24kind of related to our previous conversation where i would have felt a lot better if they were 61 but
00:29jalen brown was a fully healthy i mean like that was sort of the idea with this team when you brought
00:33every single player back from a title team was just get through the year healthy and the guys we were
00:38looking at were more poor zingas holiday horford than any of the younger guys but i would have felt
00:44even if they had like a three or four less wins but they were locked in and you knew everybody was
00:50full goal 100 you'd be like all right they they played this year but they also were managing the
00:55season to get ready for the playoffs so they did a little bit better because there was a time where
01:00they were on pace to have uh 55 56 so they 50s they did kind of snap out of it a little bit i was
01:07looking this up to the pierce garnett allen teams uh they only did back-to-back 60 win teams once it
01:12was 0809 so they uh yeah so they won 66 their first year together which was still the best and it's
01:17the best since uh in a long time they won 62 the next year then they won 50 then they won 56
01:23so this team going 64 61 it's very much in that ballpark though like those teams never really ran
01:31away and hid with it i also think once you've established yourself it isn't the most important
01:35thing to be the one seed right tim duncan spurs were not always the one seed lebron certainly can go
01:41through all the time that he's been there uh all his different teams they weren't the one seed but
01:45they could get to the finals i just thought they would like on sheer talent not even like going
01:49for it i felt like every night they'd be so much better than the other team that they would have
01:53had like 65 wins so i'm just not i'm not happy with the regular season like they they finished on
02:00an upswing 19 out of 22 yeah i guess 14 out of 16 5 out of 6 however you know you do look at their
02:06losses mixed in there uh i would explain away miami and certainly orlando to a degree but two of the
02:12teams they played down the stretch are the two biggest teams they got to worry about
02:15cleveland and okc they played them both at home they lost to both of them
