After a successful eight season run, Quinn Snyder decides to step down, and immediately following that, you know you're hearing Mitchell is kind of in limbo with the organization and what he might possibly want to do. He still has four years a hundred and thirty five million left with the player option in his final year. That's next for the Jazz? Was next for the Jazz is a repeat
of the last eight years. Nothing. Welcome back to another edition of What's Burning New York version We out here Free b G, free b G, just free b G two b G free man. Obviously, Brittney Grinder has been detained for a hundred plus days. When this show drops, it will be a hundred and eleven days since she's been locked up. Very unfortunate situation right now, man, We just want to send our love out to her. Continue
to hold it down. Thoughts and prayers to her and her family um as she continues to go through this bullshit man, Free b G two b G Free him. Jack. Game two of the finals last night, pretty evenly matched first half, Golden State outscores Boston thirteen and the third and it was pretty much over after that. Tatum, one of the first half finish with eight, Brown had seventeen. Didn't shoot the ball very well. Horford, Smart and White, who had sixty five combined points in Game one, only
ended up with sixteen. White had twelve of those. Talk to me about what you saw last night in game two? Well one, Steve Kurr did a great job of switching lineups, throwing some different athletic, bigger guys out there to deal with Al Horford and shut him down. I think if the sellers expected Margot Smart to get five games and they got another thing coming, because I know he's one of the best defensive players in league, and he's deep as a player, yell, but he's not all that on offense.
To me, it takes a lot of energy out of you offense when you gotta chase Stephan Clay around. So Tatum has been great. I think you gotta expect that he's been great the whole play else So I mean, I'm expect him to be Well, what is everybody else gonna do? They're not gonna have big games like they
had in Game one. God, they did a great job, but making step did a great job of carrying the team doing doing his job still and the table to win by that margin and Clay not have a good game, it says a lot and that has the Wards get feeling great about themselves going to Boston. So you know, it played out just like I said. I knew go to State was gonna have a better game and then there was gonna be more physical and play better on defense, and uh it turned out their way. Shout out GP
two for making his return, reporter getting healthy. Good to see both those boys back on the court. With all that said, Boston did that we're supposed to do. I went on the road and got one game, and I think if we've learned anything is not to overreact to one game. You know, Boston had a great fourth quarter in Game one and blew them boys out. Golden State second half run blew them out. So it's one one.
They're going back to Boston. But I agree with you again, smart Horford and White combined four over sixty points in game one, and so my question after game one is can they consistently do that? And you know, again, we're not gonna over react. I think it's gonna be somewhere in that middle. Smartest actually scored really well during the playoffs, Horford is played really well, but I don't think they're
gonna be at sixty five. Those combined that, I also don't think they're gonna be as low as they were, so I think they'll find a nice steady median um moving forward. But I'm excited, man. I think this is gonna be a great series. Both teams are capable of winning on the other team floor, so I'm excited for Game three. It's gonna be exciting. The Draymond effect. You know, it's funny when teams say, oh, all this talking or all drey what is Draymond doing? Is not gonna affect us?
But they're talking about it, so obviously they're thinking about it. Very solid game like nine, seven and six, a lot of great, big defensive plays. To the people that don't understand talking about Draymond's in portants that doesn't necessarily always show up within the numbers rag pop of vegetail. Every championship team needs a Ronald Test, needs a Draymond. Game
needs a Steven Jackson, you know what I mean. And a lot of times it's just plass to to to funk it up to those ship in the game and uh Jraymond has been great at that, you know what I'm saying, And he knows his role on offense or his role is just it's not uh exciting, it's not sexy to see. But the things you do are there
really matter. Now on the flip side, I have to say this, he kind of walk on the fine line because those same files and the steals that he got at home and and the little kicks and all that he get kicked out on the road. So I think he needs to tone it down a little bit. But because he's pushing the fine line. And now if you get kicked out of game or something this series trouble, but not even that, Matt, there's no excuse for you now, Not now. You're a dumb player, you know what I'm saying.
Not now, It ain't no excuse me, the mad excuse for you with with in Cleveland all that. You know what I'm saying, that you wasn't that series. But now if you do something like that today, after all that's happened in your career, after all you've been through with the referees at this point, to win another championship, if you do something to jebardize your championship, right now it's gonna look real bad on Draymond Green. But as great as he is and as much as he do for
that team, he has to pull it back a little. Bro. He has to pull it back a little because if we was playing and some of that ship he doing on my soul, Bro, on my soul, he would have been on his back pockets. You know what I'm saying, I love little Bro because I'm just wee the same type of player, and I'm a Warrior fan. So I'm saying it from passion of wanting them to win, not
hating no little Bro. You know what I'm saying. I just want him tone it down a little bit and continue to be great in what he's doing, and don't let that ship take away from him being helping his team, because I know sometimes when when they're doing doing games, I get too caught up in that and it affects my play and it hurts my team. You know what I'm saying, I've been there. I'm speaking from experience, so
that's all I'm trying to say to do. I think he understands his importance, but then at the same time, like every foul call, he's jumping up and reacting. I'm just like, bro, they need you, like obviously everybody, but he's that key component to me that you use the Draymond green and that's that's it. That's it. They don't have a chance. So now, yeah, again he's on that fine line. I hope he stays on the right side
of the law. So Draymond did his job from talking to the players on the court, talking to the bench, the coaches, the referee, ease flip side. Marcus Smart is that guy for them, obviously a different type of leader, defensive player of the Year. What do you feel like Marcus Smart needs to do to keep his team where they need to be mentally? He got a tough job. If that's his job, and his job at the guard stuff, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how
you can do both. I can't score, you know what I mean? And I like, I can't expect that from him this series for him to be the emotional leader al hal for that somebody who wants to take the responsibility this series. This series the responsibility has of scoring, being able to chase stuff around and be a vocal leader, like that's a lot in the finals with your stars being two other players. You know what I'm saying. So
somebody's gotta shoulder some of that. I agree. So to be interesting to see again game by game headed to Boston. You know TV guards is gonna be rocking. We're gonna see what happens on Wednesday being town again. Pretty even first half for Golden State. I think it started turning with Pools buzzer beater, uh to go into halftime and I said, he's gonna hit that bitch too. As soon as he pulled up and shouts like this is going in, just hit the three. Before that, he hits it. And
after that the wheels kind of came off. Pool who struggled in Game one, Who has been amazing. He was up for the most improved player of the years after the twenty plus points a game in the playoffs. His numbers are down after Game one had seventeen last night. How important is he to this team? Very important. He gives them a boost and the lack of offense that Draymond that Draymond gives them with the starting five, he gives him that boost when he comes in the game.
I think he didn't play himself into a big bag. This offseason. Um, and I'm happy for him for that. But this kid can really play him. And I I'm telling you, I got Golden State going on the road and win these games. Winning his next game, but he's gonna have a big game in the series, and it's gonna be on the road. Who are gonna have a
big game on the road in this series? Bro? And Uh, I'm just happy he was every chance to get a good feel about his offensive game at home before they go on the road, and those two shots you know before the half is big. I love Pool, I love his game. Uh. You know, they found a diamond in the rough. Um. Obviously gonna be able for some big money,
probably twenty plus per year moving forward. Um. But he is a key component, another key component who has struggled as far as Clay Thompson, Um, you know, trying to find his rhythm, and he's always good for one or two big games during the series, whether it's at home or road. It doesn't matter to Clay as someone who is one of the greatest shoots we've ever seen struggling right now, what kind of advice would you give him? Well, like, like my boy also say that's black cow that's black cow. Well,
I ain't worried about slack cow. You know what I'm saying. Clay gonna shoot the motherfucker's if you miss him, He's gonna shoot the motherfucker's when he make them, and when he makes them, you might as well just gonna make sure you up in front of the TV because it's gonna be musty. He's due for at least two big games, you know what I'm saying, and he's gonna have him. I'm not worried about Clay. He's been here, He's been
through a lot, you know what I'm saying. For him to be playing right now, the level's playing, that's still competing with a chance to win a championship on this team, that says a lot everything he's been through. So I ain't worried about Clay. And there's nothing I would tell him. Throw the ball up and let Clay do his thing. Steph has continued to be steph Um. You know. There's a lot of talk coming into the finals that he
needs a finals m VP to solidify his greatness. Finally, I think he's the only person average five and five throughout the playoffs been killing it again this year. What makes Steph so good in these big moments. I think he kind of reminds me a lot of Tim Dunk he had even killed. You can't get him out of his game, you know what I'm saying. He's so locked in, the talking, the trash, the dancing, you know what I'm saying.
Minus the dancing, he locked in. But I just think the dynamic that he brings to the game basically makes him unguardable. If you see the shot he shot from the hash and damn they're half court. I'm ting off the dribble though, and knew it was cash like and he's done that a number of times. So just the way he shoots the ball, and and the and the and the problems he posted a defense dog nobody he's ever seen no ships like this before. Man, this kid
is definitely a once in a lifetime talent. Bro. I'm glad I was done we got a chance to play with him a little bit. And but this motherfucker his I'm real something else, something else, So looking forward to continue to see his excellence. Game three moving to Boston TV Gardens. Like I said earlier, We'll be rocking. Boston
is currently favorite by three and a half points. According to our favorite sponsors, DraftKings, who needs to step up in Boston were already spoke you know what Tatum's gonna give, you know what Brown is gonna give you? Who needs to step up for the Celtics to get that win at home? Well, normally at home, guys like Pritchard step up and have big games to give them boost to win this series, They're gonna need another big game from
Al Harford. You know he had to hit. That's the only reason why they got that one, that winning and uh and Golden State, that's the same. Sportcast gotta step up. We know what Tatum gonna do, we know what Brown gonna do. If they're Portcast, we have to give them that game one type of game. Again. I agree again, guys obviously don't really play better and you know when you speak on role players, they nor really play better at home. Um, they played well in game one, can
they come back and play well in Game three? At the Celtics have shot the three ball well, just you know, Golden State made those third quarter runs. I'm really excited to see what these guys can do. You know, this is their first real just their first taste of that that big dance, you know what I mean, And they showed in game one they wasn't afraid of the moment.
They come back down to earth after game two. So game three, going back to home, I'm sure they're very confident and it'll be interesting to see how they come out the gates on Wednesday night. So a lot of different matchups, cool matchups. Is kind of hard to say match ups because there's so much switching. But what any any particular matchup you paying attention to. I like the
Jayleen Brown Clay Thompson matchup. Those two of the best players in the league, and just to see both of these guys play at the highest level going against each other. Right now, Jennen Brown is playing a little better than Clay, but the series is still even so but we'll see game three. I like that Smart Curry matchup. Course, Curry in his career shoots against Smart, which is his fourth worst against any single opponent, so it hasn't necessarily held
true in these first two games. But I just you know, Marcus Martin makes that boy work physical with him, can move his feet, quick hands, So I like watching those two grades go to work next up on the radar, presented you by Draft Kings, gonna switch it up a little bit. Stacked two teams being no stranger to the long ball team. Props on odds for three point shots made, Boston Celtics are minus one ten to go over fourteen and a half. Also minus one ten to be under
fourteen and a half. So if you're a betting man, next game Boston gonna hit over fourteen and a half or under fourteen and a half. I say, first home game, they're going to hit overo minus one ten. Golden State going into game three our minus one twenty to be over fourteen and a half and plus a hundred to be under fourteen and a half. I got them winning. I'm saying over the winning, it's gotta be over. So you've got two over. It's gonna be a shoot man.
Closing thoughts, big shoutout, always showing a lot of love and obviously his company sent us these uh free bgs. Shut up uninterrupted and Lebron James announced he is a billionaire. The Three Comic Club. Give this man his flowers real quick, shoot him so I know, so set us So no congratulations, bro, we all know that's big, you know what I mean. But just to see him reached his feet and make his homeboys millionaires, That's what I always talked about, Like, man,
he'd go just for that. Man. So keep inspiring us, man, keep you know, showing basketball players that you know it ain't just about basketball, is how you carry yourself, how you treat your family, you know what I mean, the whole, the whole aspect of how it should be done. Bro.
So I salute when you sit back and look thirty forty years from now, hype that surrounded him, and for him to be able to live up to the hype and exceed all expectations, walk that fine line of professionalism and still living your life, win titles, be one of the greatest players of all time, and then the top that off, become a billionaire, make your homeboys millionaires. I mean, there's not much more you can really say. I mean, really, just salute this guy. I mean a day and age
where it's it's it's cool to the show hate. It's beautiful to see him rise above all this ship and cancel all that noise, man, and just continue to be him. Another thing is the personal shadow. We also saw you tweet the other day. Be looking for you to come on some podcasts. Me and Jack both been on your line. H d M two doubt all d M you after the show. But you know all the smokers where you gotta pull up. You already know. No surprise here Jack,
for me, you know, actually for both of us. We've always said the Utah is a solid regular season team, but we're always missing that one piece. We didn't trust him in the playoffs. After a successful eight season run, Quinn Snyder decides to step down, and immediately following that, you know you're hearing Mitchell is kind of in limbo with the organization and what he might possibly want to do.
He still has four years a hundred and thirty five million left with the player option in his final year. Two part question what's next for the Jazz? And do you see Mitchell in a Jazz uniform next year? What's next for the Jazz is a repeat of the last eight years. Nothing, What's what's What's What's next? For Donovan? Mitchell is going somewhere else. I'm telling you couldn't be here even Quin Snyder. He want to go somewhere else. And you know what I'm saying, Like he stepped down
the graveyard. Bro This is a graveyard. Y'all been sitting over here dying for years, cheering for the jazz broth for years. Quin Snyder and had enough. Who like, Man, look, Roy, I'm just gonna go and get somebody, somebody else die here because I'm not gonna do it. Still fairly young coach. He went in looking like a great coach, energetic coach. Come out looking a little older, a little worn down. But for him, I think that says a lot. Man.
He stepped down. It's not like he's stepping down to retire. I'm sure he still wants to work. He's just like, I've had enough of this ship. Ye, enough of this ship? Three teams off the top of your head. Do you think Donovan Mitchell would fit on? He would feel good in Atlanta with Trey Young. We'll be nice in Atlanta with Trey Young because they can both be free. That would it look nice? Of course, New York. I think he'll help him. They wouldn't be that good, but he'll
look good in New York. And I also think for me to make the biggest movie he can make the big it would be to go to Miami. Some type of way get dona er side by side. Interesting, it's a lot of buckets. Shout out to our brother. Rashid Wallace just signed as Darvin Ham's assistant. Shout out our brother, Darvin ham Man head job in l A. It's not gonna be easy. Man. That's a hot, hot, hot seat. You're signing, You're setting yourself up for a lot of criticism.
But I think d Ham is, you know, obviously paid. His dudes come behind a great lineage of you know, coaches, he's he's he's done his time in front of But I think continuing to add people like Rashid Wallace, the Lakers need that was just that, are gonna hold these dudes in that locker room accountable. And I know for a fact both of them dudes. You're not talking back to Darvin Hammer, Hi Wallace. I know Rashi might Darvin
Ham as big as motherfucker. So I think accountability is gonna be big in that locker room, is gonna be important. So I think those are two big, big pickups. A lot of people were talking about was worried about Darvin Ham as players. We loved it because we know who he is. You know what I mean, but bringing Rashi, now, oh yeah, that's what they need. That lot, that locker room is gonna be totally different, the whole dynamic of how they approach games. You know what I'm saying, how
they still it's gonna be. It's gonna be the culture. It's gonna be the actual basketball culture that respects the game. But also understand, you know what I'm saying, we gotta enjoy this ship too. It's gonna be all that and one. And you got two of the perfect guys for that. No, I agree, and I think it just to me, it just Shane lights more on guys that have been there
and done that. Not that you have to have that to be successful, but I feel to relate to these younger players that are hard to really get their respect and attention you need. Motherfucker's didn't put that work in, and both these guys have put that way. You don't. First year here in the finals, I don't want to hear nothing. That's prime example. Well that's a wrap, man,
We's Bernie. You can catch this every week on Showtime Basketball YouTube and on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok at Show Basketball Peace m
