| 2:10.7 | Two games last night. Two game one victories for Detroit and OKC. I'll break down Detroit, Cleveland, little bit more in depth, and then obviously I have some thoughts on OKC and the Lakers, but what were your expectations for that? So the first three things, let's start with number one, Assar and what his defensive assignment would be, and it's on Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell had nine points in the first quarter, nine points in the second half. He was doing that big windmill Euro step thing, which is just an stoppable kind of play from him. But it still hasn't quite happened yet. And I'll run through his scoring history for you here. 9 and 19 from the floor. Okay. He's had 32 and 30 in games 1 and 2 against Toronto. He's now gone six games or he's below 25 points. You're like, all right, well, look, he's still getting his 20. But this is not who this guy has been in the playoffs. Even if you want to talk about his team and the games that he's had that's been disappointing, like the reason I kind of defend him in the analogy that I used about the ratings thing, which the more I think about it, it's good. Is like, do I have a product that can at least get me an absurd number? |
| 3:10.7 | If there's a game 7, the analogy that I used about the ratings thing, which the more I think about it, it's good. It's like, do I have a product that can at least get me an absurd number? |
| 3:10.6 | If there's a game seven in the NBA finals or if I have this live rights package, is there a potential? |
| 3:17.3 | Like, I blow the ratings numbers out of the water. |
| 3:20.0 | Like, that's part of the price is that there's a chance. |
| 3:22.2 | And I think part of the price and admiration I have for Mitchell is that you just expect one of these absurd playoff |
| 3:29.5 | games where he's going to be completely unstoppable. And that might win you one or two in the |
| 3:33.5 | series, even though, again, historically guys never got out of the second round. So, and that's |
| 3:38.3 | also kind of the rule on how this horse for NBA players, like Mitchell's |
