00:00you ever wake up in a cold sweat Leroy a panic because you knew you had a rough dream
00:04last night I was tossing and turning because all I kept thinking about was Vucevic oh geez
00:16I just kept thinking about all the times Vucevic has cooked the heat all the times Vucevic has
00:21caused me pain and and my wife was like looking at her she's like you were right last night you
00:27were kind of like tossing and turning I was just like Vucevic she goes what I'm like never mind just
00:31go to work she had no eyes she's like what is he talking about that giant Vucevic terrifies me all
00:40of these bulls they're intangibles left and right just just not in waves of intangibles just coming
00:48at you giddy boo zealous herder Vucevic with a little kobe white uh sprinkled in there as well
00:55if he's got it going you know yep it's all a lot tonight ladies and gentlemen the play-in
01:02which by the way fire game last night between the Warriors and the Grizzlies
01:06such a job got a little banged up he did twist his ankle he did twist his ankle but he fought
01:13through it he uh he fought through it I don't think he was quite the same after that happened
01:17uh great to see uh play off Jimmy Jimmy came out on fire dude I mean he was he was uh
01:25especially in the first half he you could tell immediately um which you you had to wonder
01:30because he took that nasty knee to the thigh from Kawhi in the final game of the regular season
01:36and he had a lot of bounce in him lad he was like getting every put back he was getting every and
01:43one he had a couple of threes in there really set the tone early that being said
01:49they needed every bit of Jimmy and Steph and they held on for dear life against a very very
01:56you know skittish Grizzlies team so I don't know really what to make of it yes he was awesome
02:02uh Steph incredible onions threes as Steph is to do Draymond Green remains insufferable I I mean I
02:09legitimately he's the least likable person to watch the the the turning of the fingers the twirling of
02:16the fingers for reviews that were have no business being overturned he wish he could have 27 reviews
02:22dude he yesterday has this review right and literally the only foul is Zachy needs a foot taller than me
02:30and he has a problem with it because he's trying to get the rebound and obviously you're not going
02:34to get the rebound because Zachy needs a foot taller than me and so he had a problem with that and he's
02:39like review and so of course Steve Kerr you know Steve Kerr's gotta do this
02:44looks to the bench all right let's review it and the referees are like unsuccessful challenge
02:52because Zachy's a foot taller than Draymond Green it wasn't exactly what they said but they wanted to
02:59say that on the on the mic like that's pretty much what happened it would be something if if the if
03:04the ref would have left the the stand and just did the little small thing just the ref look the
03:10refs the refs were bad but they were equally bad on each side so I think everybody was sick of their
03:17ass god some of the calls down the end but some of the ball there was a call on Scottie Pippen on
03:23Jimmy Jimmy knew he got away with one dude Jimmy was at the free throw line looking at everybody like
03:27he got the slide yeah he uh you remember when Jimmy uh faked the head injury and he like peeked over
03:33like over his eye yes he did that at the line we're like Scottie Pippen jr just completely swung and
03:39missed on him and Jimmy's like they call it airball the layup Jimmy he airballed the layup and he's
03:47like they're not gonna call it they're not gonna review that and he just smiles at the bench I'm just
03:51like oh you rascal he was good yesterday though you can't like listen he was he was awesome he had
03:57all the juice in his legs I look at this differently right I look at it as this is what your former
04:07team expected of you and you just chose not to play that way yeah but it's also like everybody's
04:17everybody it's it's so funny how everybody enables it you know like even Draymond after the game
04:22yesterday is just like people talk about layoff Jimmy but now you see it in person and it's like
04:28it really is a real thing it's like it's like him realize like it's it's like Draymond Green saw
04:33Santa coming down the chimney yeah but it's still I like I just get annoyed at part of the whole
04:45preface behind this back and forth between the heat and Jimmy was the fact that Jimmy wasn't giving
04:51the heat this except when he deemed necessary when he said it's that time you know yeah but he said
05:00that last year too he did say it right you know listen it's like Pops and Tony Phil you never know
05:04if playoff Jimmy's gonna show up right but that's that's my that's my whole point that I saw it and
05:09I know Jimmy's capable but I was almost a little annoyed at now now you you know what I mean you know
05:22the one thing that I would say and my situation wasn't anything like that but I did switch teams
05:30and I would say
05:33when I went to new teams they go this is the same way you played in Cleveland Baltimore and I can respect
05:44that because like it wasn't oh I'm gonna save it for the next team or I'm gonna do this and and so
05:53the biggest problem I have with that whole situation is I think Pat Riley is justified
06:02in making the decisions he made about Jimmy because this is the Jimmy he wanted but wasn't
06:10the Jimmy he was getting and he was also whining about not giving him more money so uh I know Jimmy
06:19can play there's a thing but the thing with him is like look it is what it is with him like you know
06:25like we all know that Jimmy in the postseason can rise to a different level I think it probably also
06:31has to do with the way that he plays basketball I don't know if you could play a regular season at the
06:35way he plays playoff basketball yeah I don't know if it's possible because it's but we weren't getting
06:41anything close to that well I mean like when they're here here's what here's what I would say we had
06:48these conversations during the course of the year is that there's moments during the game
06:53where your star player needs to be aware of what needs to be done to win that game and your star
07:02player needs to be the catalyst behind the start of that that's what he does he doesn't have to score
07:09all the points but he has to show everybody the effort the determination or whatever because he's your
07:16number one yeah I mean but you do have guys like like Kawhi is kind of the same thing like you know
07:22when he's it's one of these hurt he's he's playing on bad knees I mean is he always hurt or you know
07:29there's been times where people have been pissed because they feel like he he takes liberties with
07:33how many games that he takes off and then you see you know when he's available he's the most you
07:39know one of the most dynamic players in the league yeah but always when he's available you very rarely
07:44hear Kawhi had a stinker when he plays he plays well I don't know what you're doing here like you know
07:54do I agree with what Jimmy you know with how Jimmy behaved obviously not but it's not like Jimmy was
08:01out there like throwing up nine points every night like you're you're kind of you're you're making it
08:06seem like Jimmy Butler's out there acting like Draymond Green every single game no no no I'm not I'm not
08:11but I'm I'm also reminded folks that
08:16this team
08:21Jimmy couldn't pick and choose when to be Jimmy they were paying him to be Jimmy not as far as scoring
08:32but as far as leading right and it got to the point where
08:37the people who were supposed to be following his lead
08:41start giving him the stink eye
08:43mm-hmm and that that's the only problem I have with that
08:47it became more about
08:49how he was doing things instead of what he was doing
08:54we'll see too I mean like I know a lot of people are like the Warriors are pretty heavy favorites in this next series
08:59I don't know yeah I think they are I think they're minus 220 to win this series
09:04I think Houston beats them
09:06but I'm just saying oh they're minus 220 because I'm pretty sure I saw the percentages and it said
09:12the Rockets were a 54% chance of winning so maybe the Warriors are a favor right now
09:17yeah I'm just talking betting lines betting lines for the series I'm pretty sure they're minus 220 to win the series
09:23wow which
09:24I'm gonna throw a little chili pepper on the Rocker
09:26right
09:27I'm gonna throw a little chili pepper on the Rocker
09:29because let me tell you something dude
09:30they had some issues with that ED yesterday
09:33and that dude's a big stiff
09:34like he didn't know
09:36no disrespect to him he's gonna he's gonna be a fine player
09:38but he had no idea what he's like I'm just being tall
09:41he he like led went through the game with five fouls
09:44um
09:45Shingun I mean like dude that guy that guy's polished
09:49like we're we're talking
09:50yeah Timu Jokic is nice
09:52yeah man I I don't know like that
09:55they the one thing that that that hasn't changed with the Jimmy team
09:59is they're gonna play small
10:01and right
10:02you know you wonder how that's gonna be because you're gonna have Draymond here
10:06who fouled out yesterday in like 30 minutes
10:08you're gonna have this uh this situation where he's gonna have to bang with everybody
10:12I don't know man like and they have
10:15so many athletes to throw at you
10:17yeah
10:17the only the thing that I think keeps the Warriors
10:21close
10:23is Houston doesn't really shoot threes
10:26they're not that good at it
10:28yeah but you know if the Rockets
10:30have the Warriors not shooting threes well
10:32it's not gonna be a good game for the Warriors
10:34right right
10:34and that and that's that's
10:36I
10:37Vlad for years
10:39if you've watched basketball for a long time
10:41you always have in the back of your mind
10:45and
10:45we used to say this with the Celtics
10:47in the last couple of years
10:49they shoot
10:50so many threes that
10:52if they get cold you can beat them
10:53but they never really get cold
10:56now
10:57that's different with
10:58the group
10:59that's different with the Warriors
11:01they only got one guy
11:02right
11:03exactly
11:04well they have a couple guys who can make threes
11:07but not on a consistent basis
11:09I'll live with
11:10Kaczynski and a GP three
11:12a GP the second taking threes
11:13I'll tell you one thing though dude
11:15thanks for nothing Grizzlies you flock of pigeons

11:31couldn't get the damn ball in
11:33I'm like
11:33are you kidding me
11:34missing free throws Vlad
11:38couldn't get the ball in
11:39I'm like
11:40you guys are gonna lose like this
11:42you got them on the ropes dude
11:44so I'm watching the game
11:45and I'm watching it
11:47and I'm like
11:47ah this game is such a Tobin and Leroy game
11:50this is like the perfect Tobin and Leroy game
11:53Tobin is watching Jimmy
11:56being playoff Jimmy
11:58while Leroy's watching Ja
12:00being Ja
12:02and then getting hurt

12:08hey
12:10I gotta tell you
