| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Smallball with Kenny Beachham. We got game sevens. We got previewing of game once. That's going to be a great one. And so much more on today's episode. And yes, I will address the elephant in the room room I am not dressed up like this because I'm |
| 0:21.1 | so excited for okay C versus spurs which I am that excited but I'm just like this my boy D Mills just got |
| 0:26.2 | married today so I had do what I had to do you know we in the wedding is such such a great time |
| 0:32.1 | love is great um such such a vibe but I you know I told my boy D Millie weeks ago we're gonna |
| 0:37.4 | have a wedding on a sunday |
| 0:38.6 | just know that unfortunately i will have to leave that wedding at some point just to shoot small ball |
| 0:42.6 | so i did boom i ain't leave during the vows or the or anything that was super important they |
| 0:47.4 | was listening to drive it like it's hot when i walked out that door a great song that we're gonna get back |
| 0:51.2 | to but um i did so movie magic. So don't be surprised that |
| 0:56.2 | after this first break, you see me in a different outfit because I feel majority of this episode |
| 1:01.1 | this morning. But I knew I wanted to have this first part of the show talk about game seven, |
| 1:05.8 | because how am I going to have a basketball podcast and not talk about game seven game seven is what we live |
| 1:12.3 | and we die for y'all so yeah just know that there's going to be a little bit of movie magic you |
| 1:16.6 | go see me in a white t-shirt next block and at the end of the show i'll be dressed like this again |
| 1:20.8 | it's just editing you know editing is this so game seven for the appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals. |

| 2:00.8 | Jared Allen with those quotes from like four years ago. This is an opportunity where you're |
| 2:04.2 | on your home court going against a really talented and a great effort team and you came out there |
| 2:09.8 | and laid an egg. Even Yudanus Haslam on the Amazon post game show was talking about how |
| 2:14.6 | nobody in Cleveland looked like they were ready for a game closed out game six. I didn't have a ton of confidence for them going into game seven, considering it was on the road again and they just laid an egg in game six, but they came out and shut all of that up.
