WEBVTT - Central Division Preview: Bucks

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Brake was breaking down all the biggest NBA storylines, So

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the heat Check. The heat Chack was Crista Craker, the

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>best podcast covering all the drama around the association.

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee Bucks, Let's move forward? Boy, oh boy, are they exciting?

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Huh?

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Key editions Malik Beasley, Robin Lopez, Campaign, Damien fucking Lollard

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and Adrianne Griffin. The coach Key subtractions Budenholzer, Drew Holliday

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and Grayson Allen. I didn't know. I didn't know if

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 2>John Horsse would do it. Giannis was basically screaming to

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 2>do something. Hey, I'm gonna leave, make make us a contender,

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>show me that you love me, show me that you're serious,

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>show me that you're gonna do something for me. And

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 2>they did just that. In the middle of a very

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>sleepy off season, the Milwaukee Bucks. They put their big

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>boy pants on to get one of the best pier

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>scores in the league and a player that could get

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>you bucket and crunch time, which they've never had since Yannis.

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Was there a guy that you can call on? It's

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>game time, put your watch on, put your finger to

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the watch. It's dame time. Yeah, one of the best.

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>You trade in one of the best perimeter defenders in

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the league for a guy who you can count on

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs to get you a bucket. Why Because

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>that offense, that half court offense, was abysmal. And just

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>like that, Yana signs the extension. He lied, he said,

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not signing it until next season. Doesn't make any

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>sense for me. I need bigger money than that. YadA, YadA, YadA.

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>And just at the deadline at the strike of midnight,

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>almost three years, one hundred and eighty six million dollars.

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>It keeps him in Milwaukee, which will reportedly pay him

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>eighty million dollars in his final year. That is a

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>shitload of cheddar, shitload of cheese kurts, Milwaukee fans, Are

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you serious? That is how you keep the Greek free cappy.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Give him what he wants. That's a lot of oreos.

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>That man loves him off. Some Chick fil A. That's

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of chicken tenders. And if you think the

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.919
<v Speaker 2>eighty million for Yannis is maybe too much money, because

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>it might be too much money for any human. News

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>broke today that Yannis brings two billion dollars in value

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>to the Milwaukee Bucks. That's why our man Slazary and

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the Haslums, the owners the Bucks, they were like, yo,

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>you better lock his ass up two billion, give him

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever he wants. His contract extension is less than ten

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>percent of that. So Yannis could legitimately make like one

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty million dollars a year and he would

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>still be underpaid. Honestly, the offense to me is gonna

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>be fucking fun. The pick and roll is going to

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>be so deadly. Let's put it this way. Blazer's average

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 2>one point one to three points per possession when Lillard

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>was the ball handler in pick and roll situations last year,

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>which means points points points points points. That's what they're getting.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>The points are coming for our Bucks. Baby. Yiannis is

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be so wide open. He's never even seen

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 2>such a thing. Honestly, been thinking about it. Johannis to

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>win MVP is a real thing. Johannis to win Defensive

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Player of the Year is a real thing. He is

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 2>going to score. Gone to the days. If we just

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.119
<v Speaker 2>build a wall around Yannis, make him be a free

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>throw shooter. No, no, sir, no, no sir. How can

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you double Damian Lillard and double Jannis. That means a

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of my man Bobby Portis in the corner, whap

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>three whap Middleton. Middleton, one of the best catch and

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>shoot shooters in the league, is going to get so

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>many of those opportunities it's insane. Defensively, I'm sus Dame

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>says he's going to be a pop plus defender. I

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>will believe it when I see it. He's going to

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>get cooked like barbecue chicken. The good news, though, is

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>that they have a pretty good front court defensively with

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis and Jannis. Chris Middleton, like I said,

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be open a lot. But how's his

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>knee because he's currently dealing with his annual Oh something's

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>wrong with Chris Middleton's knee prognosis, and that scares me.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I like the Campaign pickup. I like the Beasley pick up.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>The Milwaukee depth is not as bad as you would think,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>considering that they have a bunch of all stars on

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>this team. This team's a contender absolutely. The thing though,

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>that gives me great pause about Milwaukee is the fact

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.479
<v Speaker 2>that Adrian Griffin is a new head coach and he

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>clearly is on some power struggle bullshit. He is literally

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>on the I am new to the job, so I'm

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>gonna tell you I'm in charge. I am gonna let

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you know who's wearing the big balls here. And so

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Terry Stotts, who coached Damian Lillard for nine years, comes

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to the team right before Dame gets traded and then

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Adrian Griffin yells at him about some nonsense and Terry

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Stotts is like, yeah, I'm done with this shit. That

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 2>gives me great pause. It is this I have to

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>assert my dominance because I'm new at the job kind

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>of vibe. So all the Bucks are real. They're about

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>as real as it gets. I don't know if any

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 2>team in the East is as good as the Nuggets,

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 2>but I tell you what, this Bucks team is gonna

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 2>be fun and Dame time on the East Coast will

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>be a must see. That is all the time that

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 2>we have for this episode of the Heat Check. Come
