Summary

Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes can't believe the NBA changed the schedule for the Finals without explanation. Giannis' self diagnosis on his calf injury was truly innovative, sending the Bucks season into a tailspin, but Doc Rivers made sure to be explicitly clear about one thing in particular. Truth Teller Tippernaught Sports, lip reader extraordinaire, joins the program to take us behind the scenes of his process, his dedication to accuracy and what NBA moments catch his eye the most. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Illuminati YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Basketball Illuminati is now part of the Count The Dings Network. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Count The Dings Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the show, get ad free episodes and exclusive content at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/countthedings⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ILLUMINATI MERCH HAS RETURNED⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Check it out here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Basketball Illuminati!

0:00.0	I'm Richard Serrett. Join me on Strange Planet for in-depth conversations with the world's top paranormal investigators, alien abductees, bigfoot trackers, monster hunters, time travelers, and more.
0:11.1	The handler one day told her this whole thing about how they've been terraforming on Mars, and they're building a colony,
0:16.7	and they're recruiting specific people of specific bloodlines and specific talents and skill sets
0:21.5	to go onto the planet.
0:23.0	On Richard Serrett's Strange Planet, we're redefining reality.
0:27.9	Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
0:34.3	Guys, a pretty big shift happened, and I didn't see anybody talk about this.
0:40.0	Like a baseball shift or what do you mean?
0:42.0	A schedule shift.
0:44.0	Schedule shifts.
0:45.0	So for years, I'm going to go back to at least the first year of the return to the

1:15.5	We get this long break between game one and game two.
1:18.5	And it's designed that way because they want to start on a Thursday, but they want to
1:21.9	maximize the number of Sunday games they can have.
1:24.9	So game two is a Sunday and game seven is a Sunday.
1:28.7	Well, league last week announced a new schedule for the finals.
1:33.5	Okay.
1:34.0	It is now Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Friday.
