00:00So, Minnesota definitely deserves credit, right?
00:04And I think that they have been given a lot of credit.
00:08But when a team like the Lakers is upset,
00:10it is the predominant story.
00:14They played a lot of close games,
00:16and sometimes you can just get it close.
00:19The Lakers, though, I think I will talk to you about this,
00:23I thought would win the West.
00:25And after game two, which they won,
00:27I was like, oh, that's not happening.
00:30Because the Lakers' offense was supposed to be
00:33almost impossible to stop.
00:36Because it's LeBron and Luka,
00:40and what are you supposed to do?
00:41The Lakers barely average 100 points per game in this series.
00:44There were so many things wrong in this series.
00:48So many.
00:50But none bigger than the fact that they could not score the basketball.
00:54And when you're trying to figure out who is at fault,
00:59J.J. is front of mind.
01:01Because the lack of Jackson Hayes minutes was he was just wrong about.
01:07He's like, ah, if Jackson Hayes is out there, we can't defend.
01:10It doesn't matter.
01:11You're defending fine.
01:13He can get the lob, and it's two-point.
01:15You can press that button every time.
01:17Luka was out of sorts without the lob threat.
01:20Luka, by the way, was supposed to be the best player in the series.
01:23Wasn't one of the two best players in this series.
01:26Could have been fourth.
01:27Could have been better than him, too.
01:28But, like, him being outplayed by Ant, I want to be like, awesome.
01:32You know, great job.
01:34Again, we said this at the deadline.
01:37Oh, wow.
01:38Now LeBron actually can be the second best player.
01:40Nope.
01:41Never mind.
01:41Still the best guy.
01:43That is not how that's supposed to go in year 40.
01:46It's just not.
01:47And it's a credit to him.
01:48It's why he's clearly the greatest player in the history of this sport.
01:50And you're legitimately out of your brain.
01:52People have been, by the way, yeah, because I'm going to just do this quickly.
01:56People are like, well, go can't close.
01:58Goat argument closed at the end of this season.
02:01Yeah, you're right.
02:02LeBron by a ton.
02:0440 years old.
02:05Season 20.
02:06Hey, coach, what'd Michael do in the playoffs year 40?
02:10I don't know.
02:11I don't know if you want to bring that up, right?
02:13Was it with the Wizards at that point?
02:15Yes!
02:15He was!
02:17He was!
02:18He couldn't walk!
02:20LeBron's a max-level player!
02:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:24Co-seen!
02:25Yeah.
02:26Now.
02:28Now.
02:28Now, the JJ piece of it, though, to me, JY, yes, the Mark Williams stuff was bad.
02:35I mean, it hurt them.
02:37But it didn't need to end their—they won a game.
02:41It didn't—Mark Williams is not the difference between the Lakers winning one playoff game
02:46and the Lakers winning a championship.
02:50That is an outrageous—and I'm not saying that's what you think.
02:52But, like, yes, the Mark Williams stuff—but we didn't find out Mark Williams wasn't on
02:58this roster in game three.
03:01The whole thing was bad.
