Speaker 1

Looking into Game one and listen, the Golden State Warriors roll would a one oh three to ninety one victory. I will say this, though, I told you guys that it was a lock. I told you to guys, to bet most of your bank roll if you're gonna bet on this game on the under. I thought it was crazy that the over under for this game was at like two five. I even saw it as two six. The total of one nine one. I'm gonna do some quick math here and I'm gonna tell you that that's

a total of two hundred and four. Even if I'm wrong, I'll tell you it was nowhere near to five. First of all, I want to give a big shout out to my man J. H. Shipley. He was riding with me, told me thanks for the called shot on Twitter. I want to give a big shout out to him. This is what happens. That's why you gotta listen to your boys. Speeds the spitting statistician. I hope you win that cash, you know what I mean. I will say this, though it did in the first quarter at the beginning, it

did look kind of sloppy. I must admit there are a couple of turnovers, a lot of miss layups and shots. Zaza Patulia I had about an opportunity for like three layups and he missed them, you know. But then it also it sort of looked a little JP. It almost looked like an All Star game, you know what, everybody being able to just drive to the rim. I don't know. Kevin Durant maybe had like eight nine dunks during the game.

It was it was interesting to see. It must have been that the Calves game plan was to like prioritize, you know, going out there and guarding the outside shooter. There are a number of times in transition where Kevin Durant went right down the lane. K D with an incredible game, won thirty eight points, eight rebounds, eight assists, fourteen of twenty six from the field. He had a great game. I will say this what I believe the biggest stat of Game one, though, was the turnover battle.

The Cavaliers turned the ball over twenty times to the Warriors. For with the Warriors shooting the way they do, you cannot give them extra possessions. K D was hot, Steph was hot as well. Hey, JP, the night out, my man. Whatever your biggest takeaways from game one last night. Yeah, some of my biggest take way starting off, they played some inside out defense out there in Oracle last night. They had the calves were sprinting out to that three

point line right literally in transition. Guide like I saw j R. Smith like fake, like he was gonna guard the ball. They teach you that right away, stop ball. He thought that, like trying to get to Clay or trying to get to Steph at the perimeter was more important than trying to you know, d up Kevin Durant coming right down the whole. I agree with you JP. They still all went off to They were still all

mail and threes, which is the craziest part about it. Absolutely, absolutely, And one thing I would also say is I saw a lot of people I heard, you know, Paul Pierce after the game. I heard a lot of people talking about that Clay Thompson had a bad game. I want to be Clay Thompson's champion. I want to be his advocate because I'm gonna tell you, I don't care if he went three or sixteen from the field. If you watch that game closely, Clay Thompson was a defensive force.

There were times early in the game where Clay Thompson was guarding Kevin Love and doing it successful. There were times later on he was guarding Kyrie irving and staying ahead of him. And I'll tell you what the truth. Anytime Steph Curry was on Kyrie, Kyrie went to the whole successfully. Not when Clay Thompson was on them. Clay was guarding j R. Smith, Clay was guarding Lebron successfully at times. If he continues to do that, I've been telling everybody JP. You know I said it last night.

The Warriors defense is what was slept on. That's why I was going under. And if Draymond and Clay can continue to play defense like that, and and you know, Durant and Steph go off like they have been shooting over going for almost averaging over thirty combined between them, this could be a shorter series. What do you think, JP, I'm gonna have to agree with you. And even one even more underrated defender on the team is Kevin Durant. He had a lot of really cos on Lebron James

last night. Absolutely, I agree with you. I agree with you
