All Ball - Warriors/Celtics Game 6 Preview, NBA Draft/Holmgren Debate

about it. So take listen to our conversation. Okay, what do you think of this series before it started? All right, Celtics and the Warriors? Before it started, what do you think? Man, I thought it was gonna be. I thought i'd be a little back and forth. And the reason being is I think Marcus Smart does a heck of a job Garden Steph. And I just thought with the way the Celtics played defense and their size, I thought they would eliminate Draymond Green. And I thought it was going to

be a really good matchup for the Celtics defensively. So I figured that the Warriors would struggle a little bit, and I figured it would go seven games. So it's been a little back and forth the last few games, but the Warriors have been playing extremely well. You know, Steph in Game four had a phenomenal, phenomenal game, and then Game five with Wiggins, you know, doing what he did, I think kind of put the Warriors over the top

a little bit. You know. It's interesting. Wig was really good, but a lot of it was that was the first time I can remember a team kind of selling out to stop stop staff Seth. I mean I think about that, like they were full face face guarding all the way to mid court. You know, they're blitzing him on picking rolls, and I mean it worked now, you know. Wig became the safety blanket, and I thought they did a great

job getting isolated on the centers. But I'm just surprised more people haven't done it, or somebody hasn't done it, Like there's no kind of commitment to like cut off the head of the snake. He does everything. I totally agree, man, but I figured they had to do something different after Game four, you know, and he's been playing phenomenal this series, man.

I mean he's been he's been by far head and shoulders better than what I thought, or what I anticipated anticipated him be and just because of the matchup with Marcus. You know, Marcus has done a really good job with him, but game four you couldn't guard him the same way you were gonna guard him in game Yeah. I mean in game five, you're not gonna guard him the same way he did in game four. You're not gonna do it. You want to get fired the correct and so so

for him. That's why I kind of anticipated one of the you know, and Clay, the guys have been solid, but they just haven't had a breakout game, you know. I mean Clay Clay is is you know, he's been what eighteen twenty, He just hasn't had that breakout game. Wiggins hasn't had that breakout game. But the way they were guarding and spending so much energy and attention on on seth, you know, it freed up Wiggins to be able to do what he was gonna do. And I think too, you hit on a point two with the

pick and roll situation. You know, I think they're you know, I think Kura is doing a really good job, you know, putting Williams in pick and roll, putting Horford and pick and roll and just the matchup deal that he had. Game four, you know, step Steph was getting open looks, man, and you know Clay hit a couple of shots. But Wiggins playing at home, you know one of those guys were gonna play play big time at home and have

a breakout game. But I here's the crazy thing. If you told me Steph was gonna be over nine from three, I would be like, man, it would be hard for the Warriors to play or the Warriors to win, just based off of the way the series has gone so far and how much step has carried the Warriors. Yeah, okay, So I mean this one's a hard one because on one level, I'd like to see a Game seven. I always like to see if you really find out who's hit and what's what in the game seven, right, dude,

just get tight. So I'd love to see what happened game seven. On the other hand, the idea of the Golden State Warriors winning a championship on the parquet of the Boston Guarden, that one appeals to me. Us which which ending would you prefer to see? I want to see game I'm I'm you know, I'm a basketball fan. I want to see Game seven, man, I want to see Game seven, two minutes tie ball game. I want to see these guys. I want to see these guys

play it out. You know, I think I think you know, you're right with Golden State winning, you know, in Boston. I think it would be huge. But Game seven, Man, anything can happen in Game seven. Somebody turn an ankle, foul trouble, guys have a bad shooting night. I mean, you know, it becomes a one game series then, you know, I mean it's there's a lot of a lot of

drama can play out in the game seven. And the biggest thing is just the thing is you know, being you know, we we love ball, right We've done it our whole life, and and and just watching it, watching these guys compete, and how hard they're playing right now, and how skilled these guys are and how good they are. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a Game seven? You know, I think it. I think it's it would do big for the NBA, And I think there would be a lot of drama involved. Yeah, the game seven

Father's Day. He got the idea of the Warriors trying to win at home. I'm not I don't know, it's not that I don't like Tatum. I liked Tatum, but I've never been just in love. It's weird because I mean, I think he had four air balls, but he actually shot like ten of twenty from the floor, which I know a lot of it was when it didn't matter, but but still, I mean, he wasn't Statistically, he wasn't terrible.

Why does it feel like he's been worse than he actually has been because I think he's been overshadowed by Steph and what STEP's doing. Like you said, he's he's playing not terrible, but he hasn't had that elite NBA final, setting his legacy as as one of the best guys in the league right now. And I'm with you too, because, like I watched him at the end, it just seemed like he got uncomfortable, especially in Game four, man, when when Steph was going off and they just didn't have

an answer for for the Warriors. They did, they just didn't make shots at the end, and and watching them turn the ball over in game in Game five the way the way they did. I'm with you, man, I think he's very talented, he's a hell of a player, but I just don't know if if it's his time yet to be the guy that that gets him over the top, and and and can win two games back to back, win a game six in a game seven

on the road. It's weird because we have it. I think part of it is we have an image that all the guys who came in the league won immediately. And bird Magic obviously won immediately. But Jordan it took a long time right him to figure out Kobe it wasn't. It definitely wasn't overnight. So they got Phil I mean, you know, Duncan and walked into it, walked into a kind of a made deal. But the idea that that these guys are are totally refined. I just it's weird.

It's like you get in your mind. Okay, Jason tam fid to a point, But they did get further this year than they've ever gotten last year. So it's hard to tell whether he'll be able to overcome these things in the future or whether this is who he is because he's at his athletic peak, you know, right right? Is this speak like you said, is that is it a?

Is he at his all time high right now? Like my thing is is like you get there and you kind of learned, you go through the They're playing the Warriors, right, right, The Warriors have been there, you know, staff Clay Draymond, They've been in this situation. They've played in a Game seven. You know, it's still there. They're still at a really

high level. My thing is is is do the Celtics if they end up losing this series, right, do they grow from this and make a run at the title next year or is it like one of those things where they got here one year and they kind of fall off. So I'm an agreeance with you. I don't know, there's a lot of questions with Tatum is a guy that's got to He's got to play phenomenal tomorrow night for them to have a chance to go back to

Golden State on Father's Day. I mean, he's got to have a Steph curry S type Game four performance for them to even have a chance to play Golden State on Game seven. You know, it's weird as none of these games have ended up close scores. It's weird they just been the whole playoffs. Man, How is that? How how is that? That's the weirdest kind of phenomenon. Ever, that's a weird thing. But it's literally that's a thing.

The Celtics have been through a bunch of those, like one of the closest, the closest game was the Nets game, Game one against the Nets. But otherwise, I mean, it's been blowout city. But isn't it weird? I mean, especially considering that gave the other night, you know, where the Celtics couldn't score in the first quarter, couldn't make a shot, then they make the run of the third quarter, you know, but for Golden State to come back, but then to just kind of annihilate them and blow them out of

the water is kind of fascinating. It's fascinating. So so what's your what's your what's your theory on that? I'm not sure I have one. I'm sure I have one because I would say it's a Golden State thing, but it's not because I've you know, we saw with the Heat and the Celtics, We've seen with with other series. I don't know, I don't know why games kind of sporadic control. You know, the Celtics obviously late in that Heat series kind of failed to close. I guess, so

that kind of got close. I think probably it is because a lot of teams just don't know how to I don't know how to make the comeback. I don't know, it's a it's a weird I guess in the regular season everybody, everybody comes back, but there have not There's hasn't been buzzer beaters, haven't been overtime games. You know, I'm watching game one of the Stanley Cup Finals and they already got overtime. Like, man, that's kind of fun. Anyway, that's okay, Let's let's go to NBA draft. Are you

a check guy? I mean, I like him, and the reason I like him is he's he's very skilled. I don't think he's a difference maker. You know, the first couple of years he's playing in the league, he's obviously got a mature and get stronger and and you develop his body. But I think, you know, as skilled as he is, man, I mean, I think he's a matchup nightmare at times. But what's he gonna look like in five question? I guess the big thing is like, what

is he gonna look like in five years? You know, he adds twenty pounds of muscle and he's not getting pushed around. He's a matchup nightmare. So to answer a question, am I a Chet fan? I love his skill, He's really young. I'm intrigued by to see what he turns into in the next three to five years. One of what Oklahoma say, what Oklahoma City he'll do? Because I feel like Jabari is gonna go on, So then it's Shedder or Apollo Apologies, he's a grown man. He's a

grown man. I think. I think you go Apollo if you're okay. See well, I mean here's the thing the Thunder. The Thunder really don't have I mean, they're rebuilding, right So, I mean, if you if you draft a guy like Chet, you're still he's not He's still he's still a couple of years away from being who he's going to become. Yes, if you develop, if you if you get Polo, he's got an NBA ready body right now. And I think year two he's a stud, you know what I'm saying.

And I don't know how much longer you can just I don't know home how much longer you can you can stack draft picks and and continue to wait and rebuild. I mean, they've been to this rebuild phase. What now, this is what year? Three year? Four? Yeah, so small market team, you're not gonna get. You're not gonna get a free agent. You're not gonna get you know, a vet coming in here, a superstar. You know, you've got to get guys now to start develop up in them. I don't know if you can wait on a guy

three years, four years. I think you got to get somebody right away that's going to be able to help you win. Okay, So your your son is I don't know if you only use a prodigy, but he's considered one of the elite rising freshmen in the country. So now you're recruiting process, which we talked about previously, far different than his. What's what's it like to be? You know, he's your kind of underdog story. He's not from from your perspective, what's this like? There's a lot of the tension,

you know, for him at a young age. I think the biggest thing with me is just keeping a reel with him, you know, and keeping him humbled, not letting him get ahead of himself, understanding where he's at right now and what the long term goal looks like. And I mean, I think we live in the day. We live each day, We day in the moment each day. You know, we're not We're not you know, looking what he's gonna look like in three years or four years.

We're just you know, we work every day trying to add stuff to his game, and and and and and I honestly, man, I try to put him in scenarios in situations where he struggles a little bit. You know, when he plays a U sometimes he gets away with some stuff because he's more talented than some of the

kids he's playing against. But you know, the cool thing for me to watch him this summer's point, he's playing in our summer league with our varsity team, is putting mind guys that are seniors are seventeen, eighteen years old and they're really good high school players and watching him struggle a little bit. So I think it. I think it keeps him grounded. I think it keeps him focused on the things that he's got to do to get better at. You know, obviously he's got to get stronger.

I mean, he's he's still a young kid. He's gonna be a freshman in high school. But also it's it's it's making him adapts his game to play against kids that are bigger and stronger and faster. So you know, I mean we were we attack this thing every day. The thing I love about him is he works his tail off, man, he works his ass off. He's in the gym every day working and it's not anything that I have to do to chase him to get in there. So he's uh, he's he's meant fun to h to

coach and just watch grow. You know, even if I wasn't his dad and I was just a high school coach, he'd be a kid. I'd be extremely excited about. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within the iHeart Radio app. Search f SR to listen live. Yeah but okay, so but social media, like you know, it is you get do you you keep an eye on it? Do you have access to it?

How do you handle? Man? It's kind of crazy. I talked to Desmond today about the same thing, and because Mace, Mace said something about him, and he was talking about, you know, kids with social media platforms and the way it's going, and you know, if it's used right, it can benefit them and everything else. Yeah, so, and he told me all that stuff. But he's thinking from a business standpoint side of it, you know, and I'm thinking

it from a dad's standpoint. You know. We do, me and his mom, we do monitor and stuff, you know. And they're kids, man, I mean, you know, it's it's one of those things where they get a highlight or you know, they get something they want to post it. But like I always tell him, I'm like, you know, you know, people are gonna come watch your play, you know, highlights. Everybody looks good in a highlight, but what do you

look like when you're playing? And another thing is is you've got to understand, like you gotta target on your back and you got people talking about you, so you're gonna be have to accept the time when you don't play well and you get the negativity that comes with the positivity. So it's kind of that double edged sword, man. I mean, you know, they get caught up in social media and likes and videos and write ups and all

that other stuff. But you got to keep them grounded, man, and you got to keep them keep them level headed. You know. It's it's it's great. I mean, I mean, I guess I guess being his high school coach, that helps you, you know, you put some attack dog his seniors on them. But but but how because it's like, you know, I mean, obviously your kids different than my kids, different than other people's kids. That's everybody says, you know,

we want to keep them balance whatever. But and we want to monitor social media, but you know, you can't really control snap, you know. And then I don't know how much you have access in i G And they get they kind of fall in love with their followers. I mean, you know, I mean kids, Like I'm trying to think what used to be always back basketball is like the equity of the masses, right, Like, if you're

a good basket up player, you're cool. Now that's how many followers you have on TikTok and how many followers you have on ig you know, right, how many likes everything else? Yeah, then you get Then here's another thing that we deal with. You get you get people, you know, kids get attention. Right. So then and this is the thing that drives me crazy about social media and dealing with this stuff. And I've talked to Rayford Young a

little bit about going through this process. You get people, you know, your kid gets attention a little bit, and then people start picking them apart. These kids are fourteen, fifteen years old right now, they start picking them apart. Oh, he can't do this, he can't do that, he can't do this. So people get shortsighted on the fact that these these they're still young and they're still kids, but they're not looking at how talented they are and the

things that they can do. And some of it is some of it is you know out there, you gotta you gotta know who you're gonna pay attention to. I'd say the other side to it is this you gotta know you're gonna pay attention to, because that's the problem with social media is you know, every idiot from here to mbuck two has access, and you know, maybe a

blue check or whatever is something you go with. But you know, a lot of it is also people need to change how they word it, especially like you said, a fourteen fifty year old kid, he needs to get stronger and he needs to get tougher, and he's to learn to go right, which is different than he can't because like you said, he's fourteen, he's fifteen, he's sixteen years old. But then the other it's like how do you and you can't really control it, but it's like

you want to. You want to give them a piece of taste of the real world and how tough it can be, but you don't want it to be the level of viciousness. That's I think that's just a hard part. Right, once you expose them to social media, how do you dealt back? You know, you're already trying to model value back. I think it's I think it's like the relationship that we have as father's son, you know. I mean it's that I'm his dad, you know, and I'm gonna, well,

thank you. I think I think we've established that. Yeah, But what I'm saying is I'm going to protect him, but also I'm gonna let him fail a little bit. I'm gonna let him go through the heart aches. I'm gonna let him go through the times when things don't go his way. But also it's like keeping it real with him and saying this, this is where you want to go. These are the things that you're going to go to if you want to achieve the ultimate goal

that you're trying to achieve. Wherever it is you want to play at Oklahoma State. Well, this is the heart ache that you're going to go through to earn a scholarship to go play at Oklahoma State, you know. So it's the peaks and valleys. I mean, we're raising the kids, you know, we're raising our kids, but we're trying to keep it real with them also, you know, I mean, everybody wants to be patted on the back and tell

you how great you are. But at the same time, no one wants to hear the criticism that comes with it or when you're told, hey, you're not good enough in this area. This is what you gotta do to work to get it. This is how you do it. Now, you got to go put in the work and do it, you know. So I think it's the balance of of just keeping it real with him, man, and and and and like I said before, it's like living in the moment. We don't talk about, you know, his senior year and

things like that. We're just trying to add stuff to his game now to help develop him as as a player and and see where it goes. When when you were a kid, so it was always mosque in Michigan, yep. So when you when you're a kid, where's your place. Well, I don't know if you did this. Like I used to go down the street about one, two, three, four or five houses down on the left because Garrett Phipps's

house and Garrett Phips's house. One was cool because his dad had those Takade beer posters up on this ceiling. So it's like my first time to see it. Some tits, I mean, that's really what I was pretty impressed. And then so and sometimes my brother would like lock me out of the garage. They'd ride bikes whatever. But he had a flat driveway. We didn't have a flat driveway and a basketball hoop and no one else ever used it. So I go down there and that's where I That's

where I like him, worked on my game. That was what I played, imaginary games. Did you have a place like that, Absolutely, it was. It was in my remember in my drive we had a dirt driveway. I was probably yeah, yeah man, yeah man. This was in Mosqugan Heights, Michigan. So Moskegan Heights, inner city, you know, rough area. We had a dirt driveway. Yeah, man, we had a dirt driveway. This is before I moved out to the suburbs. So we had a dirt driveway and uh, the Heights was

always known for Heights. I mean they were good basketball. Uh good high school basketball team. So I remember growing up there and we had we put a closed hanger on the garage and we would shoot a tennis ball. We had a tennis ball, so we would play. And I mean I'm talking like it. I mean it was a tight area. The driveway was really small. It was like ten ft ten feet wide by maybe fifteen feet in depth. And we would play three on three out there and just shooting hoop and everything else. I mean,

that's that's where it started. Man. And then as I got older, there was a park it was called Parslow Park where where you'd go out man, and I'd walk to the park, dribble my basketball, get out there, and then in the summertime, growing man would come out and start playing about three four o'clock and they would play all night. Man, they would sit there till ten eleven

o'clock at night and play. So that was my first, you know, when I fell in love with with hoop and was going to the park and and just just playing with these grown men man. I mean, and you know the chain, the chain that. You know, it wasn't nets. It was chain linked nets. That's a net. It's a net. It's just not a cloth net. Yeah. But you know in the double rims, the double rims, double rims, the worst who invented double rims? Oh? Yeah, so so but

it was just hooping man with grown men. Man. I mean, it's it's kind of like where you where you you learn how to play man? Oh, you learned about a bench of things. So so mine was we used to well, there's two places. One there's racquetball World. My daddy's played raquetball. I go up there. He'd get me in a game. And all you had to do that racketball World was you had to be like I don't want to say, you had to be thirteen. And I started going, I

was twelve. Whatever. You put your name on the board, they'd call it up, and so we got like are you thirteen? Like, yeah, I'm thirteen. But that was super late bloomed anyway, and it was four on four sideways and you know you're planning just old men that just can barely move. They was trying to get exercise. But that was good, I mean, because they were you know,

you had to deal with their size whatever. Then he had to make shots or make plays in order to kind of feel like you're earn people's respect that you weren't just out there. And then we go to Miles Square Park on Saturday morning at seven am. So he would get me up at like six thirty. And I

don't remember like I remember him getting me up. Just I would go and get in the car and we'd go to the park and he would basically call game for me and then help me pick up a team, and then you know, stayed us playing and I usually if he won the first game, then he would just take off and if I lost the next. If I lost, then he would help me call game and then maybe

he'd stay around for like fifteen more minutes. And then he was at I'll see you later, and he give me five bucks, and I just when I was hungry, I would go across the street. I get you know, he speedsa in some a gatorade and then or a coke or something, and then I'd come back and I play, and then eventually he'd show up. That was it. That was my I loved every second of it. It was how cool was it? Thole? Like back back when we were coming up, Like you would literally go to the

park and hoop all day long. Yes, like all day long. I remember going. I remember when I played in junior college out at Fullerton, Man, we would go to Newport Beach or go to Venice. We would do it. Yeah, we would go down there and sit there right and you may wait an hour to get on the court, and if you lost, you might wait two hours to get back on the court. That's just how many people

were down there hooping. Man. So it was like I remember being at Venice one day and we won like three or four games in a row, Man, and it was it's just it's just a different vibe. But you spent all day at the park just hooping. Yeah, I mean I fitness for that, because you know, they have gyms in like all their other spots now. So yeah, but you drive it's like it's like here in Oklahoma, Man, when it's not three hundred degrees outside, you drive by

a park, Man, there's no one out there hooping. You know, a long time ago, there would be there would be you know, you go buy a part, man, there's there's a ton of dudes out there playing, you know, I just but no way. He talks about the pickup of toul soklong like, man, you wouldn't get to pick up in here's the deal. But but but think about it, think about it, Doug, when we were in high school, how many how many pros? No? I know, I know what you're talking about. They don't play out no way

plays outside anymore. It is so, but do do people still play pick up the way they used to play pick up? Or is now? Is it everybody going to trainers, well careers. Guys that have careers mostly do trainers. Guys that are post careers, they did pick up. But I'm just saying high school guys high school guys because they play in tournaments where they just play a bunch of games.

I mean, that's what I did with my son to in order to play playing more is play them on two different teams, you know, one high level one low level. I mean in one like thirteen one twelve, and then it's like playing pick up. You know, he played four games in a day, you know, play feel like he played four games? Like didn't you want to play pick up as a kid? Yeah? We played all day, man, you played all day all day like dog, Yeah all day. Let me ask you this, yes, coach and your son. Yes,

are you hard on him? I was really hard on him for a long time and that did not go well, and that probably that's probably the hardest part in you know, he's got a little PTSD from it. But uh, I have a ton of fun with him too, and he's like a fun kid, a fun kid. So but yeah, I was really hard on him. Now not as much because now, you know, I want it's easier to talk to him. He's older and he understands more. And you know, we'll still get an argument every now and again and

I usually win them. But you know, he started becoming kind of a better listener. But yeah, there's there's some I've been hard on him in the past. I'm a lot a lot better to him now. So let me ask you. You leave the court, or you leave the court, you get into him a little bit during the game, You leave the court, get you get in the car. Is it continue in the car ride home or is it done? Usually what I do is like, hey, let's just leave it at one thing, you know, and then

say that one thing and then move on. And usually he doesn't want to hear the one thing, and then I was like, dude, listen to me your phone and if I have his phone and have his at tension, and then it was just like one thing. Then I tell him and then he's good, and then we're good. It's usually we leave it, you know. And then and then usually when we roll backs like hey, don't tell your mom we got like that. No, listen, I got you at doctor Pepper. Just don't tell her anything, you know.

So this is the funny thing dealing with this, right, coaching your kid. Like last night I got in I told Jalen to do something, and he was like, why would I do that when I was open? So I got an him a little bit because I told you I feel rule, because I told your right. I told him a rule in my life because I told you so right, So so I I got an him a little bit. So then after the game, his mom is looking at me sideways like I can't believe you yelled

at him like that, you know. But I'm like, wait a minute, you call me complaining about him when he doesn't clean his run up room up or he talks back to you or does all this other stuff. But like I just yelled at him for not doing what I wanted to do playing. It's because it's in public. I think that's what it is. I think it's in it's in public, and then somehow they feel a part of it, you know, attack on them whatever, and it's you know, it's their baby. They're still maternal. I mean,

I was like, I can't wait. I can't wait till you call me and tell me his room is not clean and you told him to do something and he didn't do it. I can't because I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna I'm gonna roll my eyes at you, all right, last thing? Uh who wins morning or tonight? Sorry? This still dropped him on. So who insight Celtics get it done at home? Force to get why? Because you want to see a game seven? That's real? That for sure, that's I mean, I'm I want to see a game seven.

I just think I think it's gonna be really hard. I think there's a lot of toughness and a lot of pride with the Celtics, obviously. I just think them playing. I don't think Wiggins is gonna have the game he had in Game five. Somebody's gonna have to step up and beat them. Besides Steph, you got Clay. Look, I'll

tell you this, I think the Warriors win. I mean, I just the construct of the Celtics is'll throw five great defenders out there, you know, and they're okay offensively, you know, two guys is obviously better than the rest. I think Kadom's pretty pretty damn good. They're just kind of a mess and you can't give them extra possessions. They've kind of figured you out a little bit, you know. I'm in talking with the Warriors, kind of figured you

out a little bit. And you know, I think like Gary Peyton's getting more comfortable, Clay is getting more comfortable, and like, yeah, Wiggins, everybody's like Wiggins did play great, but he still hasn't made a shot. He's gonna he's gonna make a shot. And you know, you're just you're still you're getting a little bit more from Clay every game. I don't know. I mean, look, if I'm Boston, I

played the exact same way defensively, that shit worked. Take that dude out of the game, you know, and just being in his head, just face guard him the whole time, don't give him. They'll let him get the ball. Fine, you know, it's I'm sure they're gonna get some easy shots and some floaters, you know when they when they blit some on a trappick. I don't know, just take him out of the game. That that gives you a kind of competitive advantage to take that guy. It does.

It puts pressure on everybody else. But I do think they have some other dudes, So I think Draymond gets in the way though. Game game six, man, Yeah, it's possible. It is Kurg gonna take him out again. I think he did a hell of a job game four by by benching him. They were the Warriors were searching for answers and Kerr bench and Draymond, you know, for that five six minute stretch was huge, man, and then Steph

being But I just I don't know. I think I think there's gonna be a game seven, man, you know, I really do, And I'm hoping for it. I'm hoping that they'll you know, like I'm with you, I think I think they guard step the same way they did in game five and try to make someone else beat them, all right, and hoping we get a game seven. We

shall see, Hey, dude, thanks for doing this. We did talk about your kids, clean his room and all other stuff, and we'll do it again, all right, brother, appreciate you ONMI. Thanks met everybody. So that's my conversation with my man. Brian Montinotty, of course, is head coach at Owassa High School. He played a long time, play with me at ok State,

done previous stuff with him. But I just thought you'd appreciate a little bit of you know, dad of a prodigy and let me assume dad dad to a prodigy, right add to a prodigy, and then of course a little bit of coaching your kid and a lot of NBA talk, you know, getting ready for a historic game six like you know. For me, I mean I do, I like, I obviously respect how the Celtics played defensively, how tough they are, and how they took kind of

the next step this year. And no, I'm not going to the well with Chris Middleton would have played thing all right now, just talking about the Celtics. So it's not out of like a lot like I like what they've done. They've built a team that's sustainable, it's gonna be good for a long long time. You know they'll they'll switch out some pieces, but that's a group that that's going to stay together and be really good for a long time. But the Warriors are They're unique there,

They're a meteor. These things don't come along very often. And how they play without the basketball, the joy with which they play, that the talk of playing for each other, cheering for each other to succeed, like what in the NBA, like really like that's exactly what they do. And I just I want to see him win in Boston. Guard. That's really what it is. I think that's that's a baller deal. When you win on the road, win a championship, you take champagne their locker room. Hell yeah right, that's

Those are the best. Those are the best. Yeah, road wins are the best. I remember you can listen to The Doug Gotlieb Show daily three to six Eastern cul through Pacific in your iHeart radio.
