Speaker 1: Let's get to the NBA playoff where Lebron James, Luka
Speaker 1: Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers are facing elimination at
Speaker 1: home the night against Anthony Edwards in the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 1: The Lakers are coming off a tough game for last Sunday,
Speaker 1: after head coach JJ Redick became the first coach to
Speaker 1: use the same five players for an entire half of
Speaker 1: a playoff game since at least nineteen ninety eight. Despite
Speaker 1: that stat, Reddick said yesterday he doesn't believe fatigue played
Speaker 1: a role in why the Lakers lost. Well. Listen, that
Speaker 1: may be true. Lebron James is in better shape than most,
Speaker 1: even at age forty in his twenty second season in
Speaker 1: the NBA, but he was clearly taking offensive plays off
Speaker 1: because he had to focus so much on defense. Luka
Speaker 1: Doncic has never been accused of being in shape, so
Speaker 1: when the Minnesota Timberwolves are pressing him ninety four feet
Speaker 1: all game long, eventually the fourth quarter is gonna arrive
Speaker 1: and fatigue is going to set. In Austin Reeves, we
Speaker 1: thought he was a member of the Big Three. We
Speaker 1: thought he completed the Big Three. In Los Angeles, but
Speaker 1: Minnesota has had other ideas. We can give all a
Speaker 1: blame in the world to JJ Reddick, the Los Angeles Lakers,
Speaker 1: Lebron James's age, Luka doncis being out of shape. But
Speaker 1: here's what we can't escape. Anthony Edwards is a superstar brother.
Speaker 1: It's just job forty three. The brother is spectacular. He
Speaker 1: is a skywalker. He is Jordan Esku with a J.
Speaker 1: He is special and right now he's like a shark
Speaker 1: and blood infested waters. Just like he swept Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: and Devin Booker in the first round last year, Just
Speaker 1: like he took out Kolejokic and Jamal Murray in the
Speaker 1: semifinals last year, all being in seven games before running
Speaker 1: in the Kyrie Irvin and Lukadancic in the Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 1: Are making the huge mistake of saying he wanted to
Speaker 1: guard Kyrie Irvin before the player before that series began,
Speaker 1: and Lord did he pay for that. This man is
Speaker 1: on a verge over the last two years of sending
Speaker 1: home Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Kolie Okis, Jamal Murray, Lebron
Speaker 1: James and Luka Doncic. Ladies and gentlemen, that's star power.
Speaker 1: When you consider this personality. That's additional star power. When
Speaker 1: you consider his game, that's even more star power. When
Speaker 1: you exceed the fact that he wants all that smoke
Speaker 1: because he's willing to get up in you and guard you,
Speaker 1: that's even more star power. Ant Man has arrived. Now.
Speaker 1: I think the Lakers probably will win Game five in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles at the Crypto dot Com Arena, and then
Speaker 1: that puts the pressure back on Minnesota to win a
Speaker 1: Game six on their home turf. But I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at ant Man, I think he smells blood,
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's coming to play Patsy with anybody.
Speaker 1: I think he's coming to take Lebron James and Luka
Speaker 1: Doncic out. Now. I don't think he's trying to get
Speaker 1: to a Game six. He want to take him out
Speaker 1: right now. Whether he's gonna be able to pull that
Speaker 1: off remains to be seen. The Lakers JJ Reddy doesn't
Speaker 1: have any faith in his bench. He certainly doesn't have
Speaker 1: any faith in his big men, and because of that,
Speaker 1: you're asking Lebron James and Luka Doncics to dig deep,
Speaker 1: which I believe they're both capable of and I think
Speaker 1: that will happen in Game five in Los Angeles tonight.
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't, I'm not gonna be surprised, because
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna know why it didn't happen. Ant Man. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, Julius Randall bawling, bodying up Lebron James,
Speaker 1: being physical with him. Ja Da McDaniels playing stout defense,
Speaker 1: but he's also putting up points. Rudy Gobat giving you
Speaker 1: his twenty four to twenty five minutes a game going
Speaker 1: out at seven feet two garden on the perimeter. There's
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things to be positive about with
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves, but nothing compared to ant Man. That
Speaker 1: brother is box off. And I gotta tell you, even
Speaker 1: though I don't have much of a desire to go
Speaker 1: to Minnesota as the playoffs continue, even though it is
Speaker 1: warmer this time of year than it is in the winter,
Speaker 1: of course, because the winter's a Visius, here's the reality.
Speaker 1: To see aunt Man with a championship on the line.
Speaker 1: It doesn't get much better than that. I got news
Speaker 1: for you. As much as we love seeing Lebron James
Speaker 1: as much as we love watching Steph Curry, it's time
Speaker 1: to make way for the younger generation of cats out there,
Speaker 1: and it starts with him. Trust me on that, Trust
Speaker 1: me
