Come up with a pull question, play of 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day. Mclovin is still on vacation. 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: Fritzie has double duty there in the background back row, 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: and of all the weeks for mcloven to miss. The 20 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks fan, the resident Milwaukee Bucks fan is actually 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: an Iceland. Remember it was four years ago. We got 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: a box from Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Bucks, and it was 23 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: just gear and mclovin said, I'm gonna take all of this. 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: So they took all of the gear and it's probably 25 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: the best product placement anybody's ever had on this show. 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: But they sent a box of free stuff and mcloven 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: went crazy and started wearing it all the time. Now 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: he's from Philly, but he started wearing his Milwaukee Bucks gear. 29 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: But Milwaukee Bucks celebrating and maybe somewhere in Iceland mcloven 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: celebrating as well. Congrats to the Bucks and the great 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: fans there. They were huge presents both inside and outside 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: the building last night. It was a great scene. But 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: it did feel like that was almost the victory parade, 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: the night of winning a championship. But I mentioned this 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: at the start of the postseason, probably reiterated that a 36 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, whoever was the healthiest and whoever 37 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: made their free throws was probably going to win the championship. 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: It was going to come down to health. And remember Jannis, 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: we didn't know. We thought he might miss the rest 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. With that hyper extended knee. But seventeen 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: of nineteen last night from the line and route to 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: fifty points bearing the Suns. And this is really more 43 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: than just about the Greek freak. You come back from 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: a two o deficit against the Nets and the Suns, 45 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: you know Yannis goes down, you don't get derailed. Chris 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: Middleton steps up. Drew Holiday makes everyone understand why other 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: players hold him in such high regard, and even coach 48 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer. He had to ignore the criticism and lead 49 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: his team to a title. And I thought he made 50 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: adjustments in the NBA Finals. I didn't think he made 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: adjustments earlier, but he did in the NBA Finals. I'll 52 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: go back and it's not going to be talked about, 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: but I do think that might have been the turning 54 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: point of the NBA Finals. It's not the Greek freak. 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: It wasn't a block, it wasn't dunk. It was Drew 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: Holiday picking Chris Paul up three quarters court. I know 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: you're probably saying what I just think it changed the 58 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: whole rhythm of the Phoenix Suns because it allowed Chris Paul, 59 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: at age thirty six, to just kind of you know, 60 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: get over half Chord at his own pace and Holiday, 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: who was one of the better defenders in the league. 62 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: I think picking up Chris Paul played an integral part 63 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: of them winning this championship. Long, grueling postseason. I'm sure 64 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: people are gonna say you gotta put an asterisk by this, 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, as I always say, you can kiss my asterisk. 66 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: You want a championship and you don't have to look back, right, 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Jannis saved his best game for the finals. The stuff 68 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: of legends and now the twenty twenty one Bucks part 69 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: of NBA history. And you look at close out games, 70 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: I'll go back to Walt Frazier with the New York 71 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: Knicks against the Lakers. I think he had thirty six points, 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: nineteen assists magic against the seventy six ers without Kareem 73 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: You could even go back further than that. Bob Pettitt 74 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: had fifty points in a closeout game. But what you 75 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: saw with Jannis last night is he got better and 76 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: better and better. And I had been saying at the 77 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: start of the playoffs or started the finals, I don't 78 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: want him bringing the ball up the floor. I don't 79 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: want him shooting jumpers. I want him inside he can't 80 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: be stomped. That was it. Go inside and dominate, make 81 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: them have to deal with you, because that's the hard 82 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: Yannis to deal with. Jump shooting, I know he made 83 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: it three. I don't care about any of that, But 84 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: inside he's so slithering. Kind of reminds me of Kevin McHale, 85 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: who's as good at low post players there's ever been 86 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: in this sport unguardable. And Yannis down low against Ayton, 87 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: who's a pretty good defender even when they're trying to 88 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: double team, he was just wonderful. Plus you can't help 89 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: it root for. I mean, he's there's nothing polarizing about Jannis. 90 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: You come over, he looks like a Spinley kid, and 91 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: he was you know, you select him what fifteenth and 92 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: the Bucks didn't know what they had. Yannis didn't know, 93 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: you know, what they had or who he was. I mean, 94 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: that's why he's taken fifteenth. But you look at what 95 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: he's done to get himself better. I mean that that's 96 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: what's amazing. He made himself better, and you could tell 97 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: that he will continue to do that. He'll continue to 98 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: be better, want to be better, improve his shot and 99 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: you know, be more consistent at the free throw line. 100 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: But I did like a lot of what he said. 101 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: You can't help, but you know, think he's a special person. 102 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: But I love what he had to say about the 103 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: free throws, because hey, every place he goes, they're counting one, two, three. 104 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: He's shooting air balls, which I'd been critical of that 105 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: you can't be. I mean, you go to the line 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: too off and you can't be shooting airballs. That's embarrassing. 107 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: But he heard everything, and then he wanted to let 108 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: all of us know, how about this. You know, don't 109 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: let nobody tell you which you can't be, what you 110 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: cannot do. You know, people told him I can't. I 111 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: made my frithless to night, and I'm a freaky champion. 112 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: I made him not supposed to make him. You know, 113 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: but I'm joking, Um, actually I'm not a little bit 114 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: of truth in every bit of kidding. Then actually I'm joking. 115 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: Actually I'm no. I know. Yeah, you just you can't help. 116 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: But like him and root for him. It's a special 117 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: story where he came from. Um, you know, he's got 118 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: his two other brothers in the NBA. And he also 119 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: talked about we talked about the seventy six ers, having 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: a process or so called process. Here is Jana's talking 121 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: out Milwaukee's process. Coach By believed in me. Told me 122 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: that in order for me to win, order for me 123 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: to be great, I have to trust my teammate, you know. 124 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: I have to trust my DA have to make the 125 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: right pass, you know. I cannot be stubborn, you know. 126 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: And I got to trust the process, you know, And 127 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: it was it was a three year process, but we 128 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: got it done. I want to think all of these 129 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: guys and as I said, I've done it all on 130 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the court, I've done it all of the court, and 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm keep I'm keep going. I kissed up and they 132 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: got Drew Holiday. I think that was really important because 133 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk that Jannis was going 134 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: to leave Milwaukee, and of course it was going to 135 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: be Miami Heat or the Lakers, and he didn't want 136 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: to join a super team coming back. I was like, 137 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: this is my city. You know. They trust me, They 138 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: believed in me. They believed. That's even when we were 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: like we relast, the city still was like on our side, 140 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: and you know, obviously I wanted I wanted to get 141 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: the job done, you know, but that's my stobborn side. 142 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: I could see to go somewhere and go and win 143 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: a championship with somebody else. It's easy. I will go. 144 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't put anybody in this, but but I will 145 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: go to a super team and you know, just do 146 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: my part of the minute. Championship still one. But this 147 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: is the harder way to do it, and do it 148 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: and we did it, did it, We did it. Man. 149 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: This isn't a formula that teams can follow. Just so 150 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: you know. It's like, let's take a guy that we 151 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: don't know if he can play. He's from Greece, and uh, 152 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like he could hold up his body. 153 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: Five years later, he's the MVP. He's won the MVP twice, 154 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: the MVP of the finals. It just doesn't happen, and 155 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: it's one of the great close out games of all time. 156 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: You start to wonder who's more likely to get back 157 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: to the finals. Well, the Bucks are going to have 158 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: to go through a Brooklyn team that we think will 159 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: be healthier. I don't know if there's somebody else that 160 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: you look at in the East and go, all right, 161 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: let's see what Philadelphia does in the off season. But 162 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: I would say Milwaukee would be more likely than Phoenix. 163 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen to Chris Paul. 164 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: Here is Chris Paul after the game? Knowing that for 165 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: so long you work to get to this point, is 166 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: there any solace and have had this experience, I can 167 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: learn from it and I might get back here. I mean, 168 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: it's take a while to process this or whatnot, but 169 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: it's the same mentality. Get back to work, you know 170 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. I am retiring. If that's what you're asking, 171 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: that's out, so you know, back to work. He's going 172 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: to be thirty seven, and I think there were reports 173 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: that came out during the playoffs that he would probably 174 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: decline a player option of one year option, and then 175 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: he would probably sign a three year deal for one 176 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars with the Suns. I just if I'm Phoenix, 177 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: I got to really look long and hard at that 178 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: decision to sign him up for three more years. He 179 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: had a good year. It just wasn't a great ending here. 180 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to put all of this on 181 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Chris Paul. I was not going to give him all 182 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: the credit if they won, but I'm not giving him 183 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: all the blame. Certainly, it was not a great team. 184 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: I think you had Booker who played great at times, 185 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: but that was a tough night for him. DeAndre Ayton 186 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: had some great games in the playoffs, but when you 187 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: have to there's nothing if you say to a guy, hey, 188 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: I need you on the offensive end, but all you 189 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: keep thinking about is what's going on the defensive end, 190 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: because he knows whatever happens at the offensive end. Now 191 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: I got to go back and guard Yannis, and I 192 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: got to guard Yannis the entire night. And he is 193 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: not taking any time off. He played forty two minutes 194 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: and he was bringing it right to DeAndre Ayton after 195 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: a while. That wears you out. Where you go, My god, 196 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: he just scored again on me. Now let's go down 197 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: at the other end. This Milwaukee team seemed like it 198 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: was a better full team, deeper team, and they got 199 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: contributions from people and Mike Budenholzer did make some adjustments there. Yeah. See, 200 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: is that something you have to learn, like if you're 201 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton to manage that those sort of understanding that 202 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: you're going to give up buckets. But you still have 203 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: to you know, like when they talk about you have 204 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: to learn mentally what it takes to win a finals, 205 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: win a championship. Is that sort of what they're referring to. 206 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: I you know, he did say afterwards, Hey, we didn't win, 207 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: but this was a lot of fun. Like he and 208 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: he's a great personality too, and seems like a great kid. 209 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: But I don't know if you you in that mindset 210 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: of how does this not affect you at the other 211 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: end of the floor, or you're just being humbled. I mean, 212 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: that's really what it is. And throughout the series he 213 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: was humbled by Jannis And you know, when you're a 214 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: young player, I guess you can bounce back. You have 215 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: more resiliency to bounce back. But I'm curious DeAndre Ayton's trajectory, 216 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: what his career arc is going to be after this season, 217 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: because I thought he was really good, you know, and 218 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: he could be a Hall of good player for the 219 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns, and Devin Booker looks like he'll be a 220 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: Hall of famer. But for everybody else in that supporting cast, 221 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: they need a little They're gonna need a little bit 222 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: more firepower if they're gonna think about getting back, and 223 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: certainly in the West.

Tim Legler from the 229 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: Mother's Ship will join us to recap what we saw 230 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: in who should be the favorites next season? Fritzie is 231 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: doing the poll question honors today. I am okay. A 232 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: few options include is this the start of a buck dynasty? 233 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: You used that earlier this morning? Did and I repurpose 234 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: the just for you probably a few thousand others did 235 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: that on Twitter last night. But we also have will 236 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Chris Paul ever get back to the NBA Finals before 237 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: we called it a career? Okay? And I also threw 238 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: in one that is, would you stand outside in the 239 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: middle of a crowd of twenty five thousand screaming fans 240 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: as they do in their dear district, which I have 241 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: a strong feeling about. Well, that wasn't twenty five thousand, 242 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: was it like forty fifty thousand? They set around sixty thousand, 243 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: sixty thousand, yes, sixty thousand. I have strong feelings about 244 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: I really do okay. I was having a minal anxiety 245 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: like panic attack picturing myself in the middle. We were 246 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: at home. I was home. I was home at air conditioning, 247 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: had a cold drink, I had a little snack. I 248 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: was relaxed. But every every time they showed that crowd, 249 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: I envisioned myself for a moment in the middle of 250 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: that and if I had to leave for some reason. 251 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about a restroom. Just everyone's on 252 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: top of you and the chance of getting trampled and 253 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: they're screaming, and if you need to you can't say 254 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: excuse me to sixty thousand people as you need to 255 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: get to wherever you have to go. It just didn't 256 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: seem like a good time to stand there on top 257 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: of everybody and then like that. It seemed a little 258 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: frightening to me. You might have been the only person 259 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: watching last night that thought about, oh my god, I 260 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: would hate to be in the middle of I thought 261 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: it looked awesome from like if you're like at the 262 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: Good Year Blamp. You know you're a home and everything, 263 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: and you know it's not happening to you. But for 264 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: some reason I started like responding a little bit. I 265 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: got a little bit of an anxiety attack picturing what 266 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: if I was in the middle of that group. Well, 267 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: you get clusterphobic. I do, and and we've seen that 268 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: before at the sausage races, where you just have a 269 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: costume on and you got clonster phobe. But if you 270 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: had a sporting event or a movie theater something, you 271 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: could say excuse me to a few people. You know, 272 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: if you're sitting in the middle of the aisle, what 273 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: was going on there? It's a whole other story about 274 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: trying to get out of that. I did wonder about 275 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: the bathroom situation for sixty sixty five thousand fans last night. 276 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: So they had a crowd shot and then one of 277 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: the shots they showed there were it looked like fifty 278 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: porta potties on the other side, And then I thought, wow, 279 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: that'd be a long walk for you. Excuse me, pardon me, 280 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: excuse me, pardon me. Yeah, now I understand that part 281 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: of it. Toddy, they had a porta potti district. They 282 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: had their own port potti district. I feel like by 283 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: the time you get to that porta potty too, it's 284 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: not going to be an ideal shape. The crowd like that. 285 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: Excuse me parton, excuse me Dan. I have a porta 286 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: potty policy. And if you listen to one thing I've 287 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: ever said before in my life, you out there, this 288 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: is the biggest piece of advice I give you. I 289 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: went to a NASCAR race. I used a porta potty 290 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: about seven or eight times last weekend. When you entered 291 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: the porta potti, never breath no, never ever looked down, 292 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: look straight, turn to your left, do what you have 293 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: to do, clean up the best you can, and eggsit 294 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: the premises. Never look down. Okay, never look down, say 295 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: it again. Never look down, forward left, never look down 296 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: business go yeah, yeah, yes, Todd. I also always get 297 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: worried that there's gonna be some teenagers pointing some kind 298 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: of prank, rocking the thing or trying to knock it over. 299 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: When you're in there and you know there's gonna be 300 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: a long line fall of them. They don't have sixty 301 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: thousand porta potties, so even when you finally get there, 302 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a whole bunch of people there are 303 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: in front of you on the line. And to enjoy 304 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: the experience of one of those disgusting middle things. This 305 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: is just watching the game last night. Yeah, I know, 306 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: I know, I know. I found it very traumatizing and 307 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: upsetting to picture myself in the middle of that crowd. 308 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: It look like everybody was having a great time. But 309 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, when I'm watching it, the last thing I'm 310 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: thinking is, gosh, what do what Todd would think if 311 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: he's in the middle of that crowd, Like, if you're 312 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: having to feel like feeling a little pale, or you 313 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: don't feel just right and you don't have like a 314 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: ginger aile with you or something to just kind of 315 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: make you feel about if you get feeling a little 316 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: naughious or something's not just sorry, what do you do 317 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: there's sixty thousand people around you if you're not feeling well, 318 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: you're feeling like everyone's on top of you and you're 319 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: having a little, you know, anxiety attack. I don't know 320 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: what you do it just passing. Everybody was feeling well 321 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: because they had the heightened expectation of winning a champ 322 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: I understand it, But of sixty thousand people, there's a 323 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: good chance someone's blood pressure is going up with someone 324 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: just feeling a little unwell, and I don't know how 325 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: you get out of here, or how any kind of 326 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: medical staff can get to that. This is why you 327 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: don't like leaving the hill. I don't. I know, it's 328 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: probably the best. It's probably for the best, because Todd 329 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: just referred to watching it on TV as traumatizing. Seeing 330 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: it was traumatized. You know what? I like the green lights. 331 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: I like when they're cheering and everything, even though it's 332 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: on a delay and it's kind of weird, and they go, 333 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: let's go out to the crowd, and then when someone 334 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: acused them a producer, you're on, it's time for you 335 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: to scream a cheer. Like four seconds later, all of 336 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, they start cheering. It's that's weird. Too many 337 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: people on top of each other. It's not healthy. It's 338 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: not a good account. Did you find the negative in 339 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: this today? It's not a good idea. And then there 340 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: was shootings. Of course, you can't win a title without 341 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: people getting wounded, like you know, you can't do we 342 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: have to do someone have to get shot after someone 343 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: wins a title. Why just enjoy the celebration. Let's take 344 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: a break here. You know there's probably drinking involved. Probably, 345 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: Let's take a break. Tim Legler will reset this program 346 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: and Edwarder.

Today, 378 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: Fritzie's watching the pregame festivities on the Mothership and you 379 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: got sixty five thousand fans outside the arena. And I 380 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: don't know what you were thinking when you were watching it, 381 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: but Fritzie was having a panic attack because he kept thinking, 382 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: what would it be like if I was in the 383 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: middle of that, and you were wondering, if you know, 384 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: you didn't have a ginger ale, that you would start 385 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: to panic. There. My initial thought looking at us like, Wow, 386 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: look at the support for this team. This is awesome. 387 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: It's like five times and many people outside and inside. 388 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: Then I'm like, I think it pictured myself in the 389 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: middle of that, just see of people and whether I 390 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: had to go to the restroomer I started feeling nauseous 391 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: or something. Wasn't us right now? But you would have 392 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: a bathroom card. You you've told us about this bathroom card. 393 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: I understand that, but try just the thought of trying 394 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: to show that the sixty thousand people that can like 395 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: part the red Sea for me and let me run 396 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: into a quorterpine. That's not gonna happen. No'll tell me 397 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: what to do with that card. Yeah they will, but 398 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 1: you don't have to be in the middle of it. 399 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: You could be on the fringes of the crowd. But 400 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: still just it's very crowded and it seems like it was. 401 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: I found it unsettling and off putting a little bit 402 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: and dangerous. I did. That's why you don't leave your house. 403 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: I don't. I like to stay put. Tim Legler ESPN 404 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: NBA analysts kind enough to join us from Milwaukee. Tim, 405 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: where does Janis's performance last night and in this series 406 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: rank to you all time. The performance itself last night 407 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: is one of the greatest I've ever seen, And I 408 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: don't care, you know, if we're putting in the context 409 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: Dan of NBA Playoffs, NBA Finals, I don't care a period. 410 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Just in terms of any player in any game. I 411 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: think about how many athletes get the rare opportunity to 412 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: play the greatest game of their lives in the most 413 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: significant moment of their careers. That's what he put together 414 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: last night. Very few guys can say those two things 415 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: in the same sentence, right. A lot of guys can 416 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: get to the problemised land and win a championship and 417 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: they might not be their best night. A lot of 418 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: guys have incredible games and of course the regular season 419 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: in their careers, but it's not in this moment, biggest stage, 420 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: brightest lights, and he had the greatest game of his career. 421 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: It was one of the most awesome displays I've ever seen, 422 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: combining force with the nest because this is the guy 423 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: that obviously struggles at the line to you know, to 424 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: do that from had a step back eighteen footer in there, 425 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: had a three pointer in there, had a pushshot, like 426 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: a one handed push shot from the foul line at 427 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: a critical time in the game, combined with all of 428 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: that power at the rim and just overwhelming the suns. 429 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: It was just an absolutely awesome display. It's it's it's 430 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: almost hard to describe accurately how great he played last night. 431 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: I actually think he's underrated, Tim because we kept looking 432 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: at what he didn't do instead of what he does do. 433 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: And okay, he didn't make his free throws, but he 434 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: didn't he did make his free throws last night. I 435 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: don't like him handling the ball bringing it up the floor. 436 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: I don't like him taking jumpers. I wanted him down 437 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: on the low post because he was unstoppable there. Boy 438 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: is this is certainly a message to the rest of 439 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: the NBA. God forbid. If he does hit all his 440 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: free throws and he does develop some kind of outside shot, 441 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's scary. That's a scary, scary proposition for this. 442 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: And he does want to get greater, as you know, 443 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: playing in the in the league, certain guys get to 444 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: a certain level and they're fine with that. It doesn't 445 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: feel like at age twenty six he's gonna go. You 446 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: know what, this is the kind of player who I am. 447 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like that's in his DNA. Completely agree, 448 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: and he's he's he's a kind of start player I 449 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: was thinking of. You know, I played with a lot 450 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: of stars of the course of my career, Hall of 451 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: Fame players, and you know, this is the kind of 452 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: guy as a star player that you want to play 453 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: with as a teammate because there's there's going to be 454 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: zero complacency. And that's what you love about him, which 455 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: is what you're describing. And I think a way to 456 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: sum it up with him, you know, he doesn't want 457 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: a great moment. This is a great moment. He doesn't 458 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: want a great moment. He wants all time greatness and 459 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: that's going to differentiate him. And so it's impossible not 460 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: to root for this guy. It just is. He's he's 461 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: everything you could want an athlete to be, the way 462 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: he goes about his business, the kind of person he is, 463 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: the kind of guy he is to be around every day, upbeat, positive, energetic, 464 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: harness worker on the team. So he sets the tone there, 465 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, constantly giving praise to those around him, despite 466 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: the fact that last night he literally lifted an entire 467 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: team and franchise a city on his back. I mean, 468 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: if you want to talk about a guy putting something 469 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: on their back, we use that phrase all the time. 470 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: Last night, that should be what you see if you 471 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: look that term up and you google that is Giannis 472 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: out to the kupa last night because he had very 473 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: little help offensively from his star players. Bobby Portis was 474 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: great or that Bobby Portis last night. They don't win 475 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: the game, but the other guys. Middleton was decent late. 476 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: He hit a couple of big moments late in the game, 477 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: but for the most part, Holiday and middle Team were 478 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: not good. He scores half their points practically, so he's 479 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: everything you could want in a star player in the 480 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: face of a franchise. He epitomizes. I think what it 481 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: should be about to feel the weight and responsibility to 482 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: do this for a franchise They drafted you if you 483 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: reach this level of greatness, And that's what he took 484 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: on when he signed that contract and decided to stay. 485 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: And I think it's phenomenal for the league that a 486 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: guy can prove you can do it this way too. 487 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: It's a different script than what these guys follow. Now. Yeah, 488 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: I think the key now is will free agents want 489 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: to go to Mill Milwaukee. They did make the trade 490 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: for Drew Holliday. They gave up a lot of draft 491 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: picks for him. It feels like a young nucleus is there. 492 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,479 Speaker 1: I also wondered about this tim and maybe I'm seeing 493 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 1: something different. I thought that the series felt like it 494 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: was shifting when Drew Holliday started to pick up Chris 495 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: Paul three quarters chord. It changed the tempo, made Paul 496 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: work a little bit harder. And to me, I know, 497 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: we can talk about the Greek freak with the block 498 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: or the alley oop, but that was a real subtle 499 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: move by the Bucks Mike Budenholzer that I thought changed 500 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: Chris Paul a little bit and changed the Phoenix Suns offensively. 501 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: Am I reading into it too much? No, you're dead 502 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: spot on and after the first game, and you know, 503 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: not even after the first game, about middle of the 504 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: second quarter of the first game, I'm taking notes getting 505 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: ready to go on after and I'm saying, this has 506 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: to be the worst defensive game plan I've seen the 507 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: team come up with the defense pick and roll in 508 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: a long time. You know, you had three days, four 509 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: days wherever it was the Suns to prepare for the Buck, 510 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: I mean the Bucks to prepare for the Suns. You 511 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: have one of the best mid range players in the 512 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: history of the game and Chris Paul, and you're going 513 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: to decide that you want to either switch all ball 514 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: screens or put your big guy defending the screen fifteen 515 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: feet off the screen so he can come off unimpeded, 516 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: get to an eighteen foot area the floor for a 517 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: lean back jump shot, which his bread and butter play, 518 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: and you'll let him have it the entire game and 519 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: after the game, I mean everybody was in on that obviously, 520 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: and then just pounding the Bucks and pounding their preparation. 521 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: It made no sense. Give them credit. They made the 522 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: adjustment and they said, if Drew Holliday's on the floor, 523 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: he is going to target Chris Paul and so not 524 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: only picking him up eighty five feet dan every time 525 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: Chris Paul brought it up after either made basket or 526 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: dead ball, and Chris Paul's bringing it up, it was 527 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: holiday seventy five percent. At the time. PJ. Tucker was 528 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: doing it. Jeff Tigue would come in and even do 529 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: it a little bit, and these guys are turning him, 530 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: bumping him him, just draining his power meter. That's what 531 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: it did, and it took away his aggressiveness in the 532 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: half court. But the other thing they did, in addition 533 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: to picking him up, when Jue Holliday was getting screened 534 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: starting in Game two, he wasn't handing him off to 535 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: whoever came up on that screen. He was continuing to 536 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: pursue Chris Paul and eventually with just enough help so 537 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: he couldn't go off a mid range jump shot from 538 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: your big. When he would pick the ball up, Jue 539 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: Holiday then was back on his shoulder, making sure he 540 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be a factor later in the possession. 541 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: So not only the the you know, the wear and 542 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: tear of all those possessions of turning a guy and 543 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: bumping him in a thirty six year old guard facing 544 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: full court pressure, which we don't see in the NBA 545 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: ever nowadays, to do that, but also to say, you know, Drew, 546 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna blanket this guy. It's like it's like a 547 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: cover corner. Right then, I would remember I'm a Washington 548 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: football team fan, and we brought in Josh Norman a 549 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: few years ago, and I was so excited because he 550 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: needed a cover corner. And then the very first game. 551 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: I'm at the game and the star wide receiver for 552 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: the other team, you know, goes in motion and Josh 553 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Norman doesn't move from his side of the field, and 554 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: I proceeded to watch this guy towards the other corner 555 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: for a huge day. I'm going, what's the point of 556 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: having Josh Norman if he's not going to cover this 557 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: guy the entire time. That's what Drew Holliday became starting 558 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: in Game two. It was Chris Paul is going to 559 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: be targeted. I am the guy to do it, and that, 560 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: to me, that subtle change completely changed the complexion of 561 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: this series, and Chris Paul until last night basically was 562 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: a non factor offensively. If every NBA player were healthy 563 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: during the postseason, who would have won the championship? Okay, Brooklyn, 564 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: I just don't know how anybody was supposed to deal 565 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: with that level of firepower. To me, that collection of 566 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: Durant Harden and Kyrie Irving that is the single greatest 567 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: trio of raw offensive talent ever assembled in this league. 568 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: I do not know how you were supposed to have 569 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: the personnel, that the depth, the scheme to be able 570 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: to defend all that You're talking about three guys that 571 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: can beat you on every platform. Offensively, they can beat you. 572 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: They can make plays off the dribble, they can beat 573 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: you from deep on a ball screen, they can beat 574 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: you with the mid range. They're all great finishers. What 575 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: are you supposed to do with that much talent? And 576 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: you can always have Steve nas can always have two 577 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: of the elite offensive players in the game on the 578 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: court at the same time, and start and finish every 579 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: half with all three of those guys. It's just too 580 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: much for anybody to deal with. So it was it 581 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: was going to be the Nets that we're gonna win this. 582 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: And look, it is a narrative, Dan, you're not taking 583 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: We're not taking anything away from the Bucks. But you 584 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: can't dismiss the fact that the Nets broke down, the 585 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: Lakers broke down, the Clippers broke down. Even a team 586 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: like Denver with a healthy Jamal Murray after they picked 587 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: up Aaron Gordon. That's a team that legitimately could have 588 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: made it to the end finals. So you can't dismiss 589 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: all of the injuries, but give the Bucks credit. They 590 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: took advantage of what the landscape looked like this year 591 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: and they broke through, and the confidence they have going 592 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: forward could mean this is the start of a great run. 593 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: Because we don't know if the Nets are going to 594 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: stay healthy next year. Those guys barely have played together. 595 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: They have a lot to prove, and the Milwaukee Bucks 596 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: are going to carry themselves like champions now. They believe 597 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: they can get through any pressure situation based on the 598 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: way they navigated this postseason. What should the Suns do 599 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: with Chris Paul And what should Chris Paul do with 600 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: the Suns? Well, he's got a playoff option for forty 601 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: four million, so I know he's not going anywhere. It's 602 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: gonna be. He probably signed that in the locker room 603 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: last night. If he's smart to get make sure he 604 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: gets that forty four million, So he's not going anywhere. 605 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: I think what they have to be honest about. Look 606 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: at their team, just like we talked with the Bucks 607 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: just now, the same thing with the Suns. Look at 608 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: the landscape in the West with the Kawhi going down, 609 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis going down, Jamal Murray going down. You know, 610 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: this was the perfect storm for the Suns to make 611 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: this kind of run this year. But they're they're a 612 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: guy away they need an all star caliber wing with 613 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: some length that can get his own shot, because you're 614 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: not gonna you're not gonna get through the Western Conference 615 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: next year if those teams stay healthy with what you have. 616 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: So Chris Paul has a significant role on this team. 617 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: I do believe that. But they can't go forward thinking, oh, 618 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: we've got these two great guards and that's going to 619 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: be enough because we went to the finals last year. 620 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: Assuming that okay Ayton gets a little bit better, Bridges 621 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: gets a little bit better, Cam Johnson gets a little 622 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: bit better. The problem is the ceiling on those three 623 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: players is significant, is significantly lower than what we're talking 624 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: about with these other teams and their second and third 625 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: best players. It just is McCall, Bridges and Cam Johnson 626 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: are really nice players. They're never gonna have to kind 627 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: of handle that you're gonna need to be a twenty 628 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: to twenty five point scorer in this league on the wing, 629 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: you're just not. And those are the players that lead 630 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: teams to championships. So they're a guy away. But Chris 631 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: Paul will have a significant role on that team, and 632 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: certainly he's going to be untradeable if they decided to 633 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: go at a different route and thinking, yeah, this could 634 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: be a guy to get somebody else over their hump. 635 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: At forty four million, I don't know how you do that. 636 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: Who should trade for Damian Lollard. I'd love to see 637 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard in Philadelphia. If you've paired Damian Lillard with 638 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: Joel Embiide and the shooting that they have there with 639 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: Seth Curry, this that to me is a team then 640 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: that can get into the mix in the East and 641 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: truly challenged. Now there's a lot of talk about that. Obviously, 642 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: that would would that would include Ben Simmons leaving town, 643 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: which I think everybody in Philadelphia is ready for and 644 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: they want to see happen. He's an elite level athlete 645 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: and talent, but he is missing a gene that you need, 646 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: and his fear of failure was so evident last year 647 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I don't know how you go forward 648 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons. I just certain markets Dan are never 649 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: gonna forget and forgive and it's unrelenting, and he's in 650 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: one of those markets. I've spent thirty seven years living there. 651 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: He's in one of those markets. Which is another point 652 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: actually about after the Cooper I was thinking about today 653 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: how blessed and lucky he is to be in a 654 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: place that has shown him unconditional love, forgiveness and support, 655 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: despite the fact that he was a two time MVP 656 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: with the number one seed in the league and didn't 657 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: make it to the finals. If he is in a 658 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: Northeast corridor city, there's a very good chance the media coverage, 659 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: the fan base coverage, what he's hearing every day turns 660 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: so negative and sour. If you feel like you have 661 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: not lived up to expectations in a given year, he 662 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: probably doesn't make the same decision he made to stay. 663 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: The fact that he's in that type of situation allowed 664 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: him to feel the love even though they came up 665 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: short and he was doing everything he could to get 666 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: him there. That was a big factor in this. I 667 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: think that's going to also be the situation with Ben 668 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: Simmons and why he's going to have to leave. The 669 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: first sign of him turning down a shot near the 670 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: rim next season, whether it's game one, game two, they're 671 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: gonna start and they're never gonna stop until until he's out. 672 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: So I think they have to make a move. If 673 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: they can do something with Portland and give enough of 674 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons picks and maybe filling at Tyre's Max or 675 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: somebody like that, maybe that's enough to get Lord and 676 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: Lord embat Is. That would be a very phenomenal combination 677 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: to watch. It was fun. Legs. Thanks for your contributions 678 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: to the show, not only today but throughout the season. 679 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: We appreciate it as always. I always love coming on Dan. 680 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, Legs. That's Tim Legler, espn NBA analyst, former 681 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: in NBA VET. You know, it does make sense with 682 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: Philadelphia when you have fear of failure. And I look 683 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: at Jannis because that's the comp because he's he shoots 684 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: free throws and he's not very good he was last night, 685 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a fear of going to the line. 686 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't have a fear of failure. And Ben Simmons 687 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: has a fear of failure. He doesn't want to be embarrassed. 688 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: Jannis would shoot air balls, he would go one for ten. 689 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: Ben doesn't even want to get to the line to 690 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: go one for ten. You can't have that, and that's 691 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: why Ben has to be traded someplace else. He almost 692 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: has to disappear to reappear. I think that would be 693 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: really important for his development. We'll take a break. Your 694 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: phone calls coming up. We got our play of the day, 695 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: stat of the day.

But I 733 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: don't think Tom Petty has any connection to the Milwaukee 734 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: Box that I know of or the city of or 735 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: a Milwaukee or the state of Wisconsin.

You know, they're not 772 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: they're not super teams. They're they're salad teams with with 773 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: some key players. But I just can't think enough about 774 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: how Giannas dominated. I think um the finals here. You know, 775 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: he took early in the playoffs with the Free Crows. 776 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: You know he was being um kind of taken apart 777 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: about that. But then he came up last night, seventeen 778 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: of nineteen and just dominate on both ends of the 779 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: floor with five blocks, and yeah, I thought it just 780 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: a great performance. I think since probably early two thousands 781 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: in Shack with the finals.
