00:00series is tied one game apiece heading back to chase center in the western conference semis
00:04speaking of jimmy beller he agrees he knows he needs to be more aggressive no no aggressive like
00:11getting the paint make plays um for everybody i feel like whenever i'm doing that it makes
00:16everybody else's job easier they know when to shoot the ball on catching shoots they know when
00:20to play out of closeouts um when i'm in attack mode it automatically um places them in attack
00:26mode so it's not just scoring but i do and i think jimmy knows that he would like to have
00:29a couple more baskets i'm sure a couple like six of 13 like i'm not gonna be mad if jimmy butler
00:34next game has 20 field goal attempts i'm not gonna be mad at that like because i need him to be in
00:38that range i need him to be scoring if draymond green's gonna be three of ten if buddy heels
00:43gonna be five of 14 if brandon podjemski is gonna be missing or not shooting enough but he was five
00:48of 14 overall yeah i think he hit three in the fourth quarter right a lot of times so he was
00:53probably worse than that but he wasn't great in this time he wasn't he wasn't nope none of the
00:57starters were but that's kind of where i think like we could talk about all these different
01:00combinations turnovers joe from the starters combined eight joe one thing is very clear to
01:05me in these playoffs the first quarter gives you a great indication of what warrior team you're
01:10getting on that given night it never used to be that way but now it is and so that the first lineup
01:16that they roll out has got to be able to get a couple buckets i think they're getting stops there's
01:22a lot of lineup combinations that can get some stops and can stymie them it's what offense can
01:29you get from the first five guys you put out there and that's where like look everyone wants to maybe
01:34you go pat spencer he's pastor's not starting over pots they're gonna start pots pots has just got up
01:40he's got to hit a shot in the first quarter what did you see yesterday dub nation that gives you hope
01:45that the warriors can win this series going forward without stephan curry potentially again we'll get to
01:49what steph had to say yesterday at shoot around um it wasn't yeah i don't what i heard from steph
01:58yesterday and we'll play the sound i have a very hard time seeing him coming back in this series even
02:04if it does get pushed later it's very tricky it's the first time he's had this type of injury to this
02:10this soft tissue the hamstring he's never hurt before in his career so what i heard from yesterday was a
02:15lot of qualifiers we'll gotta wait and see there was a lot of stuff reevaluation there was a lot of
02:21words that made me pause a little bit about his potential availability at all in this series in
02:26the meantime we got a couple of coaches online let's go to coach hall in san diego first coach
02:31hall good morning how are you feeling about that loss last night hey what up fellas hey i don't want
02:37no young family reunion on the court man we need to play to win the game and the players
02:42gotta play i got so pissed off last night man because i i'm thinking if we ain't losing by 30 40
02:50which we wasn't early the timberwolves they were not hitting shots like that they came out high
02:55but i really thought that was a winnable game man when we cut it to seven i don't know what
02:59curry was doing once again you take out the hot hand they're going to 27 run listen man it's simple
03:05jimmy you drive jk you cut buddy you spot up play to win the game take the easy shots why do we pass
03:13up so many layups for three you just shoot the ball coach how about the one where jimmy is in
03:19transition and it's him and dante di vincenzo and everyone's thinking well like dog go up with it
03:25jimmy and he starts slowing down leaves his feet to just throw it away and then pods be selling
03:31instead of jump stopping and just rolls it away the coach and he's like hit the jump stop doggy
03:37that's it just make the simple play man i'm sorry i love ed and i don't want to see him hurt but the
03:45we we missed an opportunity we it was blood in the water i don't know why we didn't galvanize the
03:51troops and go at them i do not understand that but man i i don't know if playoff jimmy is still in
03:58play but i would like to see him with 25 shot attempts at least go down smooth it man i agree
04:03that's it man just play to win the game coach what do you think about jk and tjd's athleticism
04:09really translates to this series as opposed to the to the rocket series like i think they both
04:14i'm not saying they're going to have the same game but it clearly they're positives against this
04:19particular matchup nas reed cannot guard kaminga nope that that to me that is the lineup and i don't
04:26know if you guys saw this but rudy hates what tjd is in the game yeah he hates it he can't cheat
04:33over he's a live threat and they went and dream i threw the one hand live to him i think you play
04:38tjd jk jimmy buddy and maybe pods you know just i don't know for uh some kind of distraction
04:47purposes if he's not gonna score the ball but we got the athletes and with a wounded ankle i think man
04:53it might be blood in the water just just play the players car that's that's all i'm asking
04:57no great coach coach and i actually thought look i like gp2 we all do but i think kaminga's the
05:03better matchup on anthony edwards so forget his offense coming his office for a second i just think
05:08right now they need length uh on on anthony edwards and and they need a little more twitchiness and i
05:14just think laterally moving jk makes up more ground right now than gp2 it's a bad matchup for gp2
05:20it's okay he's still gonna play but i i lean jk guarding anthony edwards ant's gonna get his
05:25it's making him work right it's the efficiency with anthony edwards get him to be like you know
05:30eight of 20 instead of six of 13 overall yesterday and two of four from beyond the arc there was a
05:35free throw line too much for my uh for my liking too i i agree on that there was a point where jk
05:40backed up anthony edwards and just shot over him to make him work absolutely up right there lock
05:47same church same pew i don't know about this ankle thing by the real quick i i'm not saying
05:54he's faking it i'm not saying that at all but i mean you come out of halftime and he's doing like
06:00jumping jacks on the floor putting all the pressure on that i don't care if he got shot up he looked
06:03fine in the second half like the guy that just got a local anesthesia let me tell you anthony edwards
06:09sorry you're not 23 but continue sorry i'm just joe did you watch did you watch the super bowl
06:14stuff with george kittle he literally couldn't lift his shoulder and then he went into the locker
06:19room got the was it tore all however you pronounce it tore it all and it was like yeah yeah like
06:24swinging his arm you could only do that so often but yes these guys there's no there's not a doubt
06:29in my mind these guys go into the locker room in certain situations and they definitely get shot
06:34no no was he embellishing over exaggerating whatever i don't know but i do think he got he
06:39clearly got something uh talking about playoff jimmy i think a lot of people coming out of this
06:44game were like okay jimmy you're the guy you got to be playoff jimmy you know he was asked about
06:49that like the burden of that nickname is it something that is a burden to him and i have
06:55that right over yeah uh i don't have a burden or expectation i don't um i play basketball the right
07:02way i will continue to play basketball the right way if that time comes where you know your people
07:10that are saying whatever uh supposed to score 40 or 43 whatever the case may be i'm capable of it i
07:17can do it um but i love making sure that uh my guys are comfortable passing the ball to them
07:22taking the right shots um at the right time um but we'll talk about it if that may be needed
07:29who knows is that needed like like do you need him to be jimmy the ball distributor or jimmy the
07:37score more i know those two i need jimmy and raymond to be you know just i don't know that's scoring
07:43because like you could have like a 14 assist game and have your fingerprints all over scoring like i know
07:48we're obsessed about scoring to me he will not be able to get a lot of shots in the paint when there
07:52are four guys packed in because others aren't hitting from the outside so you asking for 25
07:58shots like i don't think that that's going to happen unless buddy's hitting pods is hitting or
08:04moody's hitting they need some stretch to allow the paint to open up for for jimmy otherwise he's
08:10going to keep being relegated to late shot clock hoists so this is something that we always talked
08:16about when it was the cavaliers and the warriors in that series it was lebron he's too much of a ball
08:21distributor he needs to take over the game he needs to be the scorer well like even one of the
08:27greatest players of all time like he can't do it by himself other guys need to make shots so that's
08:32where i'm definitely at but what made lebron one of the greatest and what might be the greatest of
08:37all time is his ability to just put his head down and just score score score when his team needed him
08:41to do that again i'm not comparing jimmy butler he had on the floor i'm talking about those later
08:47iterations when he didn't have kyrie irving and it felt like he still had jr smith you had guys
08:51he needed to be almost perfect scoring the ball wise too we're talking about okay again lebron
08:56six eight i'm not i'm not it's not a like for like comparison i'm saying the nuance of talking
09:02about the player yeah is similar how i think we're going to be viewing jimmy butler like jimmy's
09:06going to play the game the right way and if the shot is there he will take it and if it's not there
09:10he's going to find the open man but i do think there's a burden he's not saying it's a burden but
09:14people are going to view a playoff jimmy if he's not scoring 30 points and if he's not doing that
09:19where's playoff jimmy where's playoff jimmy it's going to be unfair is what i'm saying to him oh
09:23i see to put this that's what i'm trying to get out of here because i thought it was an unfair burden
09:27on lebron at the time too i was like dude the guy's doing everything he can jimmy's clearly trying
09:31to be doing all he can to get everyone involved too because he knows he's going to need buddy healed
09:37if they're going to win this series he's going to need brandon but jimson he's going to need
09:39jonathan kaminga if they're going to win this series so yes he definitely needs to score more
09:44but let's not act like him being a ball distributor is a bad thing all the time no he needs to be that
09:50too but but i think what ends up happening is so balls in his hands there's seven seconds left he's
09:55isolated out on the perimeter well you've got guys sagging off their man because this is man-to-man
10:00defense and so you've got jimmy going one-on-one with someone and a double or a triple is right around
10:06the corner so i i think it's a it's very more sophisticated now here's the specific instances
10:11where i want jimmy to be more aggressive when it's one-on-one and you're a foot away from the
10:15basket just go up with it that i agree with but having him back someone down and throw him the ball
10:22in the low block you're not going to get that because gobert sagged off of draymond you got
10:26julius randall sagged off of whoever he's guarding because these other guys have got to hit shots from
10:32the outside moody is unguardable from beyond the line no one's going to honor him boot uh buddy healed
10:38they're like hey do it again that's what they're gonna say pods do it again we dare you
10:41so i just i think it's when you watch the film you have one guy guarding jimmy and two or three
10:48other guys waiting to double he's going to kick out in that opportunity and guys are going to have
10:53to hit shots around him what's coming up the game is brought to you by chilton auto body it's going
10:56to be your first opportunity to win a pair of tickets to the golden state valk valkyries home
11:01opener which is a week from today it's going to be around 7 40
