The Warriors get a big performance from Superstar No. 2 and even their series with the Lakers. After finally re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens, Lamar Jackson set some very ambitious goals for himself. And could this be the next co-owner of an NHL team? When you had a hockey game, this is different. It's different. It's different. I mean, cause you said right there. Pop, pop, the puck I met you, the players hitting the glass like this. Oh, I'm so excited. I'm sorry I'm getting carried away, but I just love me some hockey paint. And I just love me some snoop man. From Wondery, I'm John Gonzalez. And I'm Anders Keltow. It's Friday, May 5th. And this is starting Cinco. All right, we begin with NBA playoffs where the Golden State Warriors picked up a much-needed win on Thursday evening in a 127-100 blowout of the Lakers in San Francisco to even that second round series at one game of Peace, John. Yeah, you just knew that the Warriors weren't going to lose both of the first two games at home. But game two was a little unexpected in how they won Anders. They dominated the game, but usually when that's the case, we're used to Steph Curry going supernova with his scoring. And he did have a double-double on Thursday, but Steph was more of a facilitator posting 20 points, which is just okay by his standards, but also 12 assists. And then the Warriors got a vintage Clay Thompson shooting night, which they needed, but I think he needed more. Thompson has had some quiet outings in the playoffs so far, but he had 30 points in game two, including this three to blow the game wide open in the third quarter. Thompson cuts back, reeds right on him. He's trying to fight over the screen. Thompson gets a little room and hits a three. Six three pointers for Clay Thompson. That's really the clay they've been looking for if the Warriors can unlock him and Steph at the same time. That would be massive for them and really bad news for the Lakers. And as for the Lakers, it was night and day from game one to game two. LeBron had a classic LeBron first half on Thursday, but then he tapered off a little bit, finishing with 23 points. And then Anthony Davis had a monster game one, but he was mostly MIA on Thursday with just 11 points. And Anders, that's been something of a theme for AD in LA. That lack of consistency, but that's the key for both sides here as the series shifts to LA for game three on Saturday. Can one of these teams get both of their big stars cooking on the same night in other NBA news, Sun's point guard, Chris Paul is dealing with a groin strain and has been officially ruled out for game three in Phoenix tonight, Friday evening. All right. Now to the NHL where the surprising Florida Panthers continued their winning ways on the road, taking a second straight game in Toronto to take a two nothing series lead over the Maple Leafs. Yeah, John, this Panthers team continues to look like the real deal in the playoffs. You know, after barely making the playoffs, they've now won five games in a row, four of those on the road. And on Thursday, they fell behind by two goals early, but stormed back and scored twice in just 47 seconds at the start of the second period to take a three to lead. Here's good check off the bench, one down. Back to the check across. Like scores and the Panthers have to lead 66 seconds into the period. Another great reminder how quickly playoff hockey changes that three to score line held up for the next 38 plus minutes, John and Florida kept the Toronto crowd just about as quiet as you heard them in that clip there for much of the game. And speaking of that Toronto crowd, man, you really have to feel for those folks. They waited almost 20 years to see their team finally win a playoff series and now they dropped two straight games at home in the second round. It's tough sledding out there. Not ideal. Not ideal. And last thing here before we move on, John, I just want to point out a kind of eerie inter-sport parallel here. Are you ready? Mm hmm. All right. The Panthers are from Florida. Okay. We're the number one seed in the Eastern Conference last year. Then they barely made the playoffs this year as a number eight seed. And then they knocked off the league favorites in the first round and they have one clear superstar who has arguably been the best player in the playoff so far. Does this team remind you of anyone, John? Yeah, you blew my mind and producer Ian's mind when you texted that to us earlier, but the Panthers definitely have some Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat vibes here. Right. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, you're right. Erie is the correct word. And in other less eerie news from the NHL on Thursday night, the stars beat the Kraken at home in Dallas to even that series at 1-1, which Joe Pavelski scoring just one goal this time after scoring four in game one. Turning now to the NFL after a very lengthy negotiation, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson officially signed his new contract on Thursday. And during the ensuing press conference, John, he said some rather lofty goals for himself and the team. What a press conference, Anders. Jackson's new five year deal is worth $260 million. But as you noted, took a while for the quarterback in the franchise to reach an agreement. Jackson famously did not have a traditional agent during the negotiations, which I don't know, just a hunch here might have prolonged things. But ultimately, the former MVP and the Ravens came to terms, which is a happy ending for both sides, especially because on Thursday, Jackson said Baltimore is the only place he wanted to play. Like, if you're honest with you, I really didn't care for other teams. Really, I just really wanted to get something down here. I wanted to be here. Like, man, okay, other teams cool, but I want to be a raven for my time up and branch off somewhere else. I really want to finish my career here. I want to super bowl here. All right, two review wasn't interested in other teams. Wanted to be in Baltimore. That's notable, Anders, because personally, I'm old enough to remember just a few months ago when he publicly requested a trade to some other team that was not in Baltimore. But hey, $260 million can make you forget a whole lot. Indeed. I'm not sure if you're interested in the game, but I'm not sure if you're interested in the game.
