WEBVTT - The Bucks look.... bad? 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:14.680 On this episode of the Heat Check Alert Alert, Will 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.720 Will Will, we gotta talk about the Milwaukee Bucks. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.599 They know it's only four games into the season, but 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:21.160 they may be in. 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.439 Trouble because damn they're looking like they might just be 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:26.439 the most disappointing team. 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.840 I'm gonna break down what's going wrong, as well. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:32.760 As maybe some good things happening in Cleveland, Palo going nuclear, 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.040 and some news from around the league, including a retirement 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:41.080 from Kyle Kuzma, Anthony my Man. Drop that mother the 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.040 fucking beat that should be. 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:59.280 Rihanna, by the way, we have to pump up start 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.240 the episode. 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.720 Previous episode where I interviewed Professor David Berry on the 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.280 finances of the w Let's just say the reaction from 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:12.600 the trolls has been aggressive. A lot of people like it, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.440 some people not so much. It brought out a lot 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.240 of idiots online who were just parroting the exact same 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.039 thing that I told them not to pair it, and 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.080 then they just came back with the same thing that 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.640 I said, you're just doing. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.080 Like, oh, just keeps making money. You're dumb, Tristan, No, 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.520 you're actually the dumb one. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.880 Anyway, If you're at all interested in women's basketball or 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.679 women's sports in general. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:38.640 Give it a listen. 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.360 The video is up on YouTube. What did I say, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:42.559 YouTube's coming back? 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:43.280 It is coming. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.280 I really do believe that this is going to change 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.400 the conversation of the way that people who are open 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.560 minded see the WNBA and see even women's basketball as 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:51.920 a whole. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.280 On to today's podcast. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:54.760 Woo. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.240 Bucks, folks. 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.960 I'm willing to say it now, just four games into 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.160 the season, have you ever just like seen a dish 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:12.000 and you're like, I don't even need to taste that dish. 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.120 I know I don't want that, Like send it back. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.880 I don't even I had a cookie the other day 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.000 and I I just put it on my teeth and 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.079 was like, nope, that's not it. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.079 My tongue just touched it. Pause. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.799 We're just like a quick second, no, that that right there, 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.880 Like see the dish, don't want the dish. I already know, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.160 like that chicken's gray, that's the Milwaukee Bucks for. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.080 Me right now. 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.760 I see the recipe. I don't need to see the recipe. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.000 I see the dish and I know I don't want 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.040 any part of it. I know we're four games in 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.760 the season. The signs do not. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.600 Look great, so you get the duve. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.160 They get the duve opening night against the Sixers, right, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:00.360 no Paul George, no mb'd. And since then they've lost 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.280 three in a row to the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.040 and then obviously they were always gonna lose to the Celtics. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:12.000 The average margin of loss is nearly twelve points per game. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.080 These games weren't particularly close, and the game that they 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.400 lost to the Celtics was only nine points, so the 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:24.040 other losses were actually more disgusting. The team is now though, 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.640 back to the dish that I don't want to eat. 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.720 The team is now nineteen and twenty three under chef 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:37.360 Doc Rivers. They're two and four in the playoffs. I 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.400 don't know if I want that chef cooking my meals. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:45.120 Twenty one and twenty seven. Record is forty four percent 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.280 win percentage. Remember the last head coach that they had, 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.840 first time head coach Adrian Griffin, got fired after he 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.000 went thirty and thirteen. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.840 Seventy percent winning percentage. Tough, very tough. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:06.120 What's happening in Milwaukee is, like I'm telling you, a 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.720 little like a kitchen fire that's about to burn down 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.480 the whole fucking block unless smart people in charge say, hey, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.720 can't put water on a grease fire. It's the kitchen 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:22.040 analogy today, here's the problem coaching aka cooking in the kitchen. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:27.640 Doc Rivers is literally not making any useful adjustments either 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.760 because he doesn't have the horses to do it. Middleton 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.280 is out what's new? 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:33.720 But like the. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:39.480 Transition defense against the Celtics was beyond awful, beyond rubber chicken. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.479 Brook Lopez was consistently out of position and transition and 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.599 when it happens as much as it did, that is 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:51.640 a coaching issue. Giannis was jogging back on defense lackademically, 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.200 way too often. The Celtics massacred the Bucks on the 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.920 fast break pretty much all game long. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.520 You wonder if it's then you've got the roster issues. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:09.320 Why why is Torrian Prince the leader in minutes played 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.320 disgusting for any team. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:13.839 That's how you know Darvin. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.440 Hamm is send an assistant coach for this team. Is 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.480 because Torrean Prince is up in there just chucking boy, 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.359 just in there, just like deciding he's gonna get his 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.320 cardio tonight. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:24.720 The starting five, we. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.120 Don't know which is the most effective, Which is a 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.800 very Darvin Ham thing as well, Like remember that when 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.640 he decided on the Lakers that he was just gonna 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.200 switch up the rotations and the starting five a million 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.400 bajillion times, and everybody's like, we know what the starting 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.680 five should be. I don't even know if we know 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.599 what the starting five should be for the Bucks. We 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.960 know that there's great players on the team, but Doc 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.720 rarely has the offensive brilliance to put them in. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.800 The spots to be successful. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.279 So again, maybe we have the ingredients. Maybe the chicken 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.279 on the plate is U is like free range organic, 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.360 but it's overcooked boy, or it's undercooked, it's not season well, 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:05.640 or it's way two season. 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.080 I don't know what's going on. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.200 Docs are allowing way too much gambling. On defense, they 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.200 are getting smoked like Korean barbecue. 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:15.400 Just terrible. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.960 The Bucks currently have the twenty sixth ranked team in 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:26.200 defensive rating. This was their thing under Budenholzer. Under Budenolezer, 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.920 the Bucks were consistently a top ten defense. And if 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.000 the only reason now that they're not a top ten 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.200 defense isn't coaching, then we have to start saying some 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.880 real words about Damian Lillard. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:44.120 Because the one ingredient that's changed is Drew Holiday all 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.000 World defender to Damian Lillard Cone. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:48.720 Cone. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.839 Three of the four teams below them are the Hawks, Jazz, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.280 and Wizards, who are all lottery teams. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.279 And number three the Chemistry. Listen, have you ever just 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.359 seen a plate where. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.599 You're like, these cuisine don't even belong together. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:04.440 I think that. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.720 Might be honest, And Dame, this might be the most 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.600 damaging part of the Bucks right now. I am hearing 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.320 they are like oil and water. I am hearing there 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.040 is no peas, no carrots. It is peas and male. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:23.600 I'm like, uh, what are we doing? Not yelling? Damn? 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.680 And if you look at the quotes, not just my inside, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.840 you know, getting into the what's happening in the tea. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:30.480 Dame. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.480 His quote said this, me and Yannis gotta be able 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.000 to hold each other accountable. 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.720 And I don't mean just yelling at each other all 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:39.520 the time. Whoa. 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.240 It just means like I gotta be able to say 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.080 something to you and you gotta be able to say something. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.440 To me at all times. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.400 Feels like either one Janice is doing some yelling, or 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.440 two there's some little sneak dissing going on and people 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.000 aren't opening up and saying how they feel. Yannis had 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.680 other things to say, right now, we don't have an 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.520 idea entity. How are we going to win? 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.400 Are we gonna defend for forty eight minutes? Ouch? Are 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.960 we going to move the ball for forty eight minutes? Ouch? 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.720 Both of those potentially veiled shots at Dame? Are we 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.520 going to attack? We've got to find an identity and 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.800 we don't have that right now. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.440 Oh boy, it doesn't sound like these two were on 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:22.320 the same page, doesn't. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.440 And to be honest, after watching a ton of Bucks. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.800 Basketball, it's pretty obvious from a basketball standpoint that they 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.640 aren't yelling either. It's like, hey, we've got chicken on 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.959 the plate and also we've got steak. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.720 Do we need two proteins on the tape on the plate? 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:44.080 No, we do not. Dame ball dominant player, be honest, 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.840 ball dominant player. Both having trouble giving up the ball 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.120 because I don't know, they became superstars. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.240 By having the ball in their hands. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.160 Not shocking. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.160 This season's gonna get away from them very, very quickly. 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.200 The Bucks are an absolute car wreck that I'm watching 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.760 as a Blazer fan. Oh man, we don't even need 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.160 to go to that description about this. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.400 They are a car wreck. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.520 And I'm not talking about Andre Jackson Junior, who crashed 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.559 his car into the Yankee Hill apartments in downtown Milwaukee 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.240 on Saturday. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.800 But guess what, that's kind of what it feels like 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:18.400 right now. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:24.440 I'm very concerned, like pleasantly concerned. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:24.800 You know what I'm saying. 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:27.880 Doc's about to get his ass fired. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:33.080 He's already passing the blame along. He's already saying mean 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.760 shit about how like, oh, well, we had to go 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.840 with the shortened rotation. They're literally using like a playoff 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.679 rotation right now, and why because oh, we just don't 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:42.520 have guys that can. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.960 Produce off the bench. Don't say that, Doc. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.719 If they don't fix this shit really quick, Darvin Ham 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.280 might be the new head coach of Milwaukee Bucks basketball 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.760 and that might be coming closer than you think. All Right, 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.480 moving on on the other side, we gotta talk about 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.959 some positive We're talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers, folks. Oh yeah, 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.280 we said it in the lead up to the new season. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.319 Not enough people are talking about this team. Note enough 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.280 type people are giving this team credit because what because 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.000 Kenny Atkinson he can cook his ass off. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.559 Boy, he is one of them ones. He's Bobby Flay 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.120 up in there, quisa Quison, that's. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:22.760 What he's doing. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.040 Donovan Mitchell in there, Darius Garland and there, Evan Motley 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.000 taking a step, Jared Allen's still there, Isaac Corro doing 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.000 his damn thing. And we don't even have Max Struce yet. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.000 Guess what, he doesn't care. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.320 He doesn't care what ingredients are there because guess what, 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.600 They're gonna play hard basketball, tough, defensive minded basketball and 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.839 try to get buckets. I saw him on Saturday at 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.520 Capitol want to read it to the Wizards. Of course, 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.320 they beat the shit out of the Wizards. But I 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.600 told George Yang Bang Bang Nang before the game, hey, 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:55.280 I've been to Cleveland before. It's not actually like not great. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.160 But my first instinct was actually not great, but not 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.200 terrible either. And he said, listen, boy, if we beat 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.880 the Knicks on Monday, that's what everybody's gonna be. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.800 Saying, actually not great, actually not terrible. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.920 The Calves rolled through their first three games by an 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.880 average points margin of twenty four. Those three wins that, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.840 of course, were against bottom feeder teams like the Raptors, Pistons, 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.520 and Wizards, but don't tell the Denver Nuggets. Those are 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.240 a bottom feeder team since they just went to overtime 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.959 against the Raptors. Three teams almost guaranteed to be in 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.480 the lottery. So a lot of people were like, let's 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.920 see what it is Madison Square Garden against the Knicks 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.120 team that's looking to get right, looking for revenge at 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:37.680 the crib. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.000 Let's see and guess what. They passed that shit with 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:41.880 flying colors. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.880 So Cleveland not great but actually not terrible. Look out, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.160 the Calves are picking up right where they left off. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.360 Maybe the Celtics shouldn't be looking at New York or Philadelphia, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.760 maybe they should be having their eyes on Donovan Mitchell 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.880 and Darius Garland because look at it, the Calves are 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.640 on five at half, but put their boots to the 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.839 necks of the Knicks for a one to ten to 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.559 one oh four win on the road, and Garland. Garland 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.480 is back, He is all all the way back. Rumors 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.040 of him being the odd man out vastly overblown, Darland 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.439 and Mitchell saying he can't play with me, we need 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:21.040 to trade. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.360 Him, vastly overblowed. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:28.720 He destroyed a Knicks defense that has og Anobi, McHale, 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.880 Bridges and Josh Hart. Those three, by the way, were 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:36.680 a combined minus fourteen net rating, mostly because of Darius Garland. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.880 Garland was thirty four to three and three. 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:40.360 Wow. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:45.360 Long stretches, virtually unstoppable. He said, by the way, last 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.719 year he lost the love of the game because he 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.800 broke his jaw. But now that he's healthy, he's bawling out. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.240 The schedule moving forward quite favorable to the Calves. The 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.679 first month of the season, a lot of home games, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.760 pair of games against the Bucks, then the Pelicans without 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.280 Trey Murphy, the Nets and the Warriors at home, and 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.400 then the Bulls. Not a stretch to think that this 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.240 team might start the year off ten and zero. But also, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.120 what I like about Kenny Atkinson is that he's creating 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.960 an offense that is maximizing not only the bigs Jared 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.480 Allen and Bobie, but also the guards Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.200 He also has a relationship with Jared Allen and with 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.800 Carris Livert when he coached them for the Brooklyn Nets. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.640 Remember that that was before the staged coup, when it 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.280 was Kyrie and KD. They also have an underrated bench. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.840 Mob caris Sam Merrill bang Bang niang a Coro, very 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.439 good second unit. Dean Wade starting now too. He has 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.880 this team on the verge of being very dangerous. Also 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.120 quick aside, we gotta be concerned about the next That 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.800 defense I think is gonna have. 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:49.680 The struggle bus. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.840 You've got Donovan Mitchell going off for twenty five, and 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.920 you've got Darius Garland going off for thirty four ooh, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.960 fifty nine points from the backcourt alone. Then you have 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.240 Evan Mobley, get seventeen, you have Jared Allen, I think 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:04.920 get fifteen. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.320 You can't have that, sir, you can't have that. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.600 Got to keep an eye on those Nicks and whether 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.200 that defensive intensity that we got used to them having 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.559 is actually going to persist now that now that Karl 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.760 Anthony Towns is on the team. As I said, though 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:27.120 Cleveland not great but actually not terrible. Ooh, big news 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.880 last night. I don't know if you saw the game. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:35.120 Pallo Ban Carrol, Palo Ban, Carrol, Palo Bancheo. He put 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.320 up a fifty burger boy against the Pacers, and I 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.480 know it's the Pacers, but holy shit, was inefficient and 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:42.880 it was just happening with Ease. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.239 I saw Polo. I've said this this conversation before. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.440 But I saw Pollo in person when he was at 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:55.040 Duke in the ACC tournament in Brooklyn, right before he 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.520 was drafted. I said, man, I've never seen a human 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.880 being that big before. He's not a normal seven footer 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.200 where it's like, oh, that's Chetholmegrin, like I could, I 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.280 could wrap my hands around his whole wrist, like oh 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.360 he's like or like oh that's Yonis Valanciunis, like he's 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.400 a grizzly bear. No. No, this is like a normal 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.960 human that's been put under an enlarging ray, like Honey, 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.480 I enlarged the kids. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:25.280 He's massive. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:32.040 His proportions though, pause, perfect calves like perfect arms, perfect legs, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.120 perfect neck. He doesn't have like an overly large neck 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.400 or an over He's just a perfectly proportional six' ten. 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.520 Dude two years, ago he went off for twenty seven 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.360 eleven for eighteen shooting in HIS nba. Debut that was 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.360 the most made field goals for a number one overall 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.280 pick Since jordan And. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.640 Kream Abdul jabbar AND i knew he would be. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.760 GREAT i Knew, actually WHEN i saw him At, barclay's 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.840 he's gonna be.

Well so now that he's arrived 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.000 against The pacers defense who could not stop, him he 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.440 went six for twenty six, folks fifty, points thirteen. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:06.760 Rebounds of nine. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.920 Assists that's, disgusting one assist short of a fifty point triple. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.360 Double he also had one steal and two. Blocks. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.680 Wow more, importantly when The pacers, decided, oh we're gonna 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.080 come back and make this a game because it was 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.640 just a blowout at, halftime storm back take a, leap 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.680 and he, decided, no, no, no give me the. Ball. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.960 Steady the ship hit two, no one last second free 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.000 throws to steal the. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.200 Game couldn't have been two because they would have covered the. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.080 Five but, HEY i. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:37.440 Digress he had thirty seven first half. Points thirty. SEVEN 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.560 i watched that first half in all because no other 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.400 games were on at that point. Either that was the 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.000 first seven o'clock. Game every other game started at seven. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.240 Thirty he hit, threes he hit ones and, Twos he 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.720 went to the line fifteen. Times he had middies and 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:58.240 ones floaters behind the back, passes wrap around. Handles he 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:03.680 literally was doing everything six, ten six.' ten the thing 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.960 about this is he became the tenth youngest player IN 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.920 the nba history to score, fifty points youngest FORWARD since 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.280 i don't know to get.

IS is 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.800 that i think he could be and maybe should be 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.600 the best forward in two YEARS. In THE nba and 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.560 i don't think this is his last fifty, point game either. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.720 That's for, sure moving on some quick news from. 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.880 Around the league Speaking, of the, pacers. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:25.159 My god. 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.560 Someone help us if we're Not gonna get aliburton like 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.720 we got him in the beginning, of LAST year then 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:31.760 i don't know. 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:32.480 What to say it's. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.879 Just been rough it's just been rough since he had his. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.800 Injury last season it was Rough, in the olympics it was, 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.280 rough before then it was rough in the second half. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.399 Of the season and he's just starting to take. A 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.120 beating online how bad. Has it been, he's averaging fourteen 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.480 four and five through his, first four games and, by 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.200 the way he had, nineteen last games so that increased 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.280 the average. Quite a bit thirty four percent from the 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.800 field and twenty seven. Percent from deep things have gotten 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.760 so bad than an eighty six percent, free throw shooter 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:02.080 Which is. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.920 What halle is so things have gotten So bad that 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.760 halle got sent. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.600 To the Line, against the sixers he was down to 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.840 proceeded to shorter on, the first one then try to miss, 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.399 the second one and, then they. Lost of course And 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:23.360 then against orlando, he bawled out had, a spirited comeback 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.520 came up. Shore once again he just is not shooting, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.879 well at all six or fifteen from the field nineteen, 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.120 nine and ten, which is fine like the first ok 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:33.960 stat line, of the, year OF course when i decided to. 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:35.920 Take his under but how bad are? 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:41.560 Things for him he is currently averaging seven points less 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:43.920 and seven assists less. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.800 Than he did last. Season per game. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:47.439 Is? 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.159 This a trend is? 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.080 This, a blip well the worst four game stretch of 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:56.760 twenty twenty three twenty twenty four he was shooting thirty 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:02.399 five percent and, twenty percent three averaging eleven. To and 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.320 eight so we've seen Some Stinkers from, tyrese halliberg before, 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.120 and to me it's not the shooting. That's the issue 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.959 he's always been. A streaky shooter that forum. Is struggle bus, 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.000 but to me it's the fact that his a sister 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.439 solo the only stretch last season where he had comparably 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.960 low assist levels where. The games are he had a 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.640 minute's restriction coming off. Of his Injury after, the sixers, 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.880 loss he said it. Doesn't feel good same thing after 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.760 the next game when. He went scoreless, at the, Moment It. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.080 Sucks god willing i'm sure the sun will. Come up 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.879 tomorrow we have, another game tomorrow. 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:40.080 Seventy nine. 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.440 More it sucks and To act like i'm not gonna 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.040 replay it for the rest, of the evening it's. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.040
