Up until last night, we hadn't seen 20 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: the nets really tested, and last night we saw them 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: get roughed up a little bit give credit to the 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: Bucks desperate times, desperate measures. They played physical. The Nets 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: fell behind thirty to nine in the first quarter, but 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: to their credit, they dragged themselves back in this. Keep 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: in mind you're up thirty to eleven and then you 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: scored fifty six points in the final thirty six minutes 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: and you were able to hold on to that victory. 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: That's one of those If you're a Bucks fan, you go, well, 29 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: we got one. But the Nets in a critical late 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: game situation, they did not respond. Well. Remember that debate 31 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: we had, who's going to take the last shot for 32 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: the Nets? You know, you don't even have James Harden 33 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: in there, So okay, Kevin Duranner, Kyrie Irving down one 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: under ten seconds to go, and of course the guy 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: you would expect to take the shot with the game 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: on the line for the stars studded Nets is Bruce Brown. 37 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: He took a critical shot, he missed, and Milwaukee held 38 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: on for the win. So the Bucks are back in 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: the series. John Barry, former NBA player, was on the 40 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: radio call for the Mothership. He'll join us coming up. 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: Milwaukee's offense is still struggling. Brooklyn probably won't play that 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: poorly two games in a row. Joe Harris, Joe Harris 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: was he missed a foul line jumper. Joe is only 44 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: there to do one thing and that's make shots. So 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: the Bucks have to pick it up if they're going 46 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: to get back in this series. At least they put 47 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: up a fighting chance for that possibility. Here's Kevin Durant 48 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: after last night's loss. They played more physical, they were 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: at the rim and they just played. They played the 50 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: regular way they played at the way they been playing 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: the whole season. I think we got great looks. We 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: didn't knocked him down, but they also did a good 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: job with good testing and being physical and you know, 54 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: blocking shots at the rimum. For the most part, he 55 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: got back into the game, had players down a stretch, 56 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: and you know, things able to make a couple more sets. 57 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: As for the Utah Jazz, Donovan Mitchell scored thirty seven 58 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: and he was the first Jazz player with at least 59 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: thirty five points in back to back playoff games since 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: Carl Malone. We're watching Donovan Mitchell and it sort of 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: goes in waves where we go last year in the playoffs, 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the emergence of Donovan Mitchell going toe 63 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: to toe with Jamal Murray when it was the Jazz 64 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: and the Nuggets last year in the bubble was really 65 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: great basketball. And then you sort of forgot about the 66 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: Utah Jazz a little bit. And Donovan Mitchell he missed 67 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: the last month of the season. Remember he had the controversy. 68 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: He wanted to play and the Jazz held him out 69 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: and he was not pleased with that. I mean, you 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: have the situation with Gobert a year ago with COVID, 71 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: and now we've sort of, I guess, rediscovered Donovan Mitchell. 72 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: You saw that on display last night. I don't know 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: what it is. And Donovan Mitchell is a different player 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: than Luca don Chick. But for a team that's supposed 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: to have good defenders, you know, past defenders, Patrick Beverley, 76 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Playoff pe Kawhi Leonard, you got another guy putting up 77 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: another big night. But you know, when you're shooting fifty 78 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: two from three point range, this is what Utah does. 79 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell was really good last night, but the other 80 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, the rest of that team filled in sort 81 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: of what you needed it too. Here's ty Lou, the 82 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: Clippers coach, on Mitchell and the jazz. But he gives 83 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: the ball up. It's not just him. We getting beat up. 84 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: The build about other guys too. You know they put 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: it back down the floor attacking. Now we got to 86 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: help now swings link for three. So we got a 87 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: lot better job with our individual defense. Taking a challenge 88 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: one on one, that's the first thing. And we know 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: they want to drive. They drove all driving kicks, you know, 90 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: gett into the pain they can play. So we got 91 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: to do a better job of closing out to the 92 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: other guys and keep him under control. Rudy Gobert had 93 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: a great game last night. He had thirteen points and 94 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: twenty rebounds. You know, you get that rim defender, and 95 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: you know Utah has that ability as team defense, and 96 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: that's what you need if somebody happens to get by you, 97 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: at least you have Rudy Gobert there. Yeah, I'm club. 98 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: I thought you're supposed to pull that guy out like 99 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: just the NBA just hit three pointers to neutralize him, 100 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: and it's not quite working for the Clippers. Well, you 101 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: want to get into the pick and roll where you 102 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: can take advantage of that. But give credit to Utah 103 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: so far, first two games and we thought that the 104 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: Clippers would have some momentum after winning that Game seven 105 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: against Dallas.

Who's got it better than us? Nobody? 117 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: All right, mclovin, what do you have? Okay, have a 118 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: couple of NBA questions before the poll that I think 119 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: we will end up going with now but quick NBA questions, 120 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: Which breakout star is good enough to win a title 121 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: right now at this point of his career, Donovan Mitchell, 122 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: Devin Booker with the Suns or Tray Young with Atlanta. 123 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: They run there by me again. Who's the breakout star 124 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: in the NBA playoffs, who's good enough to lead his 125 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: team to a title right now? Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker 126 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: with the Suns, or Tray Young with Atlanta. Well they're both. 127 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: They're all three good enough, but their team, the Hawks, 128 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: aren't good enough to go to the NBA Finals. It 129 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: feels like the Jazz we've seen this the last couple 130 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: of years. That's a good team. Sons adding Chris Paul 131 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: became a different team this year. I guess I would 132 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: go with Donovan Mitchell just because it feels like they 133 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: might be a little further along as a group than 134 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. But from what I've seen so far 135 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: with Phoenix, these two are headed for a collision course 136 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: anyway this next round. That'd be a great matchup though, 137 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell. Yeah, so what you're saying, 138 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: it's not like Lebron or Katie where they can single 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: handedly win a title. They need the right situation. Well, 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: there's very few of those players that are able to 141 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: do that. Where you go, I mean Luca, who's better 142 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: than Luca as far as contributions? What he means to 143 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: his team. But he's only as good as his supporting cast. 144 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: I can plug in his numbers if I say, hey, 145 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: he's going to get thirty five and twelve. Okay, is 146 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: anybody else going to do anything? Donovan Mitchell has that luxury, 147 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: and even though he doesn't have Mike Conley, you do 148 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 1: have a pretty good supporting cast Phoenix with Devin Booker, 149 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: all right, you got to get at and to continue 150 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: to play well. I like their bench, they have depth. 151 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: And then you have Chris Paul there Atlanta, I got 152 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: Trey Young. I'm just not sure what else I have 153 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: on every single night on a given night, right another one? 154 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: Will Yannis ever be the one a player on a 155 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: championship team? Can he be the best player on a 156 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: team to win it all? Well, they're lucky that Chris 157 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: Middleton had a night. Well, really, Chris Chris Middleton, we're 158 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: expected expecting him to have a good night. I mean, 159 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: he's an All Star, he's not famous, he's an All star. Um, 160 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: but that's a career night. Can I expect that? No? 161 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: I can't. Um. You know, I watch The Greek Freak 162 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: and there's a regular season version, and then there's a 163 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: postseason version and it's just different basketball. But with three 164 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: seconds to go, the Greek Freak is inbounds, you know 165 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: he's going to be the inbounds guy because you can't 166 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: put him in there to get the ball to get 167 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: fouled because he can't make free throws. He can't shoot threes, 168 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: and he can't make free throws. I'm okay with him 169 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: not being able to shoot threes. I'm not okay with 170 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: him not being able to shoot free throws because I 171 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: don't have to rely on him shooting threes. He's not 172 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: Brook Lopez. He's not going to develop into a well. 173 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: He's a pretty good knockdown shooter from three point range. 174 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: He has terrible form, but he has so much athleticism. 175 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a one. I said that the 176 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: other day and got criticized. I'm like, hey, that's just 177 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: my opinion. I need a guy in the playoffs that 178 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: is a go to guy in the playoffs, no matter 179 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: whatever the situation is. I can't go, oh gosh, if 180 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: we put in the Greek Freak, they're going to foul him. 181 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: Like when's the last time, I mean, hacker shack. It's 182 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: a long time ago, but That was a big deal 183 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: at the time because it worked. Shaq couldn't make his 184 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: free throws. I can't have the guy who's my At 185 00:09:54,520 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: least Shack had Kobe, you know, and then yes you 186 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: have that. Hey, this guy can bail me out. But 187 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, these guys who were great players are great 188 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: when the games are on the line, and I can't 189 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: have a great player. I know Shacker is a great player, 190 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: but the Greek freak has the ball and he does 191 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: every he puts up big numbers. But game on the line, 192 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: can I can I have you in there? You can't 193 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: shoot up, you can get to the hoop. But that's 194 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: when we go back to what the Miami Heat did 195 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: last year in the postseason. They created a wall. So 196 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: when you know Yannis would attempt to go to the hoop, 197 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: they just set up this uh you know, brick wall there. Yeah. 198 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: Paul Jannis's history is kind of weird because he was 199 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: so raw. So his first year in the league, he 200 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: was a sixty eight percent free throw shooter. They don't 201 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: went to seventy four, seventy three, seventy seven, seventy seven. 202 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: He was seventy seven. You can get by, you know, 203 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: you're that's kind of seventy seven I would take in 204 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: a second. And then he went back to sixty three 205 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: percent last year and sixty seven percent this year. Yeah, 206 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: and that's he's reverting. Yeah, you give me seventy seven percent, 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: I'll take at You know, getting to eighty should almost 208 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: be mandatory for an NBA player. But if you're gonna 209 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: give me seventy seven, seventy eight, I'll take that. What 210 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: else do you have, McLevin, So I have a college 211 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: football poll. I don't know if you want to dive 212 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: in now. We can say the poll and discuss a later. 213 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: But what's the perfect number for the playoffs? And if 214 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: I gave you four, eight, twelve or sixteen? I'll go 215 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: through that proposal. Coming up next hour. Rick Neuheisel, our 216 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: good friend from CBS Sports, the former college coach. I'll 217 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: ask him about this what is what's the good, what's 218 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: the bad? And how many teams is enough or not enough? 219 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to him. John Barry will join us 220 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: about the Nets and the Bucks. Last night, Mike Florio 221 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: on sort of what's the next step here with Aaron 222 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers because with you know, this mandatory mini camp ending 223 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: now what are we looking at and does he agree 224 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: with me? At some point both of these sides have 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: to decide are we together are we divorcing? Like you 226 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: can't have an in between. You're not going steady. You're 227 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: either married or you're divorced. And at some point you 228 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: got to make that decision. So you want to settle 229 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: on a pull question. Yeah, I'm gonna put up the 230 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: college football. If you want to vote on college football, 231 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: I know we'll talk about later. Go to Dan Patrick 232 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: dot com. I'm giving four, eight, twelve or sixteen, and 233 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: you can change the numbers later if you want. But 234 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: that's going to twelve from four is what they're proposing. 235 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: So I'll limit the reins there, okay. And then Russell 236 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: Wilson speaks to the media about what happened in the offseason. 237 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: The interview that he did on this program will play 238 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: that for you. Coming up some comments from Russ and 239 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: whether you buy into those or not. It seems like 240 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: everybody is on the same page there. I don't know 241 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers looks at that situation and goes, why 242 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: can't I have that? I don't know what Russ got 243 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: other than he got the attention of the front office. 244 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: That's all he wanted. He just wanted to say, hey, 245 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: you got hello, and then he went through me in 246 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: the media to let everybody know what's going on in Seattle. 247 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: We've seen this with Aaron Rodgers. Can they have this 248 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: kumbay on olive branch and somehow figure this out if 249 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: it's fixable. First of all, I need to find out 250 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: what needs to be fixed with Aaron Rodgers. That would help, 251 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: because right now I haven't heard anything other than it's fixable? 252 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: Is it? We'll take a break. It's coming up on 253 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: fifteen after the hour back after this and the Dan 254 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Patrick Show mentioned the t Tragger's fired up, told you 255 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,599 Speaker 1: the meat Friday lineup, smokey meatball subs and then a 256 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: grilled burshute wrapped asparagus.

If they break the contract, you're 292 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to wait these next two seasons, then that 293 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: season after that. I don't know if twenty twenty three 294 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: is possible here, but that'll be the interesting part to 295 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: keep an eye on when this happens, Not if, but 296 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: when it happens. John Barry was on the call last 297 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: night game three between the Nets and Bucks on ESPN. 298 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: He has Jazz Clippers Saturday night, also on ESPN Radio. 299 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: The former NBA veteran joining us on the program. John, 300 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: good to have you back. Thanks for joining us. Let's 301 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: start at the end of that game. We had all 302 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: this conversation about who's going to take the last shot 303 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: for the Nets. In a million years, if I would 304 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: have said, you know, Bruce Brown is going to take 305 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: that last shot for the Nets, what would you have said? No? Thanks? 306 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: It was a discombobulated possession. Obviously they threw it and 307 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: bounds the ball rolls all the way across the court. 308 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: You know, Bruce Hadson time to wait for Kyrie, wait 309 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: for Kevin Durant to give him that basketball. Look, Bruce 310 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: Brown played great. And this guy's a six fourth center. 311 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: He was a point guard I believe in Miami University 312 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: of Miami, and he's come out and he plays the 313 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: center position. It's incredible. But yeah, obviously the possession didn't 314 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: go like they wanted a tough shot over the top 315 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: of brook Lopez. But I'm just shocked at that game. 316 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: Eighty six eighty three is a bad three quarters normally 317 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: for Brooklyn and they get eighty three points for the game. 318 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: It was a stunning that these two offenses were that 319 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: bad last night. But this is by design for Milwaukee. 320 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: It was a physical game, tough game. Do they have 321 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: to keep that score under one ten, under one hundred 322 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: if they have any chance of winning this series? They 323 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: would like to, you know, but typically you're gonna have 324 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: to score to beat Brooklyn. That's the bottom line. Even 325 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: without James Harden, where they get one twenty five and 326 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: one fifteen the first two games. That was shocking. I mean, 327 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: what were they They scored eleven points in the first quarter, 328 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, down nineteen after one. Kevin Durant doesn't go 329 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: eleven for twenty eight very often, and that won't happen again. 330 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: So if I'm Milwaukee, do I take confidence out of 331 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: that that I held Brooklyn to eighty three? And I 332 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: want I don't think so. I still think Brooklyn has 333 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: been by far the better team throughout these first three games. Yeah, 334 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: and then you have the Yannis situation. He's not a 335 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: good shooter. You can't put him on the line. What 336 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: you were a great free throw shooter? Your father one 337 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: of the great free throw shooters in NBA history. What 338 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: is it that happens at the line with some of 339 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: these players that they almost look paralyzed? John? Do some 340 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: people not like to be the center of attention? Like 341 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying you're scared, but you're standing 342 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: there and you know, whatever's in the building twenty thousand 343 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: or whatever or watching you. I mean, look, I played 344 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: with Shack. We would shoot free throws every day when 345 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: I was with the Lakers in ninety seven. He would 346 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: go eighteen for twenty seventeen for twenty all the time, 347 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: and I don't know does fatigue play into it. I'm 348 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: not exactly sure, but I would say this is to 349 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: get through routine faster. He got called for one last 350 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: night to ten second rule. He had thirteen seconds they 351 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: gave him. I would go quicker calling Montgomery a great 352 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: ball for right great Ryder cover. And he always said, 353 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: the longer you stand over a ball, the more bad 354 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: things you're going to get in your head. So know 355 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: what you have to do. He knows what he's got 356 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: to do. Get the ball, get a routine that's quick, 357 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: shoot it, shoot it with confidence and move on. Well, 358 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: we see this with Ben Simmons. I don't think Ben 359 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: has bad form, but he doesn't bend at his knees 360 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: and then there's no fluidity to it. It's these guys 361 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: get there and they're like stiff and then there's no 362 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: movement from the ground up. His form is not great, 363 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: the elbows out a bit. I'd rather have your form 364 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: to be caught honest watching you and maybe some of 365 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: the dinettes back there, Yeah, I didn't somebody shoot a 366 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: jump shot from three throw line that really struggled years ago. 367 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: Do you remember Will Chamberlain. Did he took jumpers? Well, no, 368 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: he was at the top of the key. He was 369 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: so bad. How Greer played for the seventy six ers. 370 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: How Greer took a jump shot from the free throw line? Okay, yeah, 371 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: I know. I think my dad talked Wilt in a 372 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: trying underhand for a minute. But guys are a bit 373 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: embarrassed about it. But it's amazing. I mean, you bring 374 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: up Ben Simmons, and how can guys be this great 375 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: at basketball and you cannot make a ten foot jump 376 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: shot or you're not even willing to take it. But look, 377 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is great. This guy's a great player. But 378 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that like, don't you start as a kid? 379 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: I think he one day I'm gonna make a free throw. 380 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: He could be a great player. I don't think he's 381 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: a great player. Well, I think he can control ball 382 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,479 Speaker 1: games and be the best player on the floor at times, 383 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 1: and but that time he can't be at the end 384 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: of a game when I know that he is going 385 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: to have to shoot a free throw, and he like, 386 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: he can't shoot a free throw or a three pointer. 387 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: It's like the Greek freak. He can't shoot he can 388 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: control a game, and I wonder is he honest a 389 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: one or is he more of a two who can 390 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: rely on or needs to rely on a one. That's 391 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: that's a good question. Obviously, in the playoffs he has 392 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: improven to be a one that's taken his team to 393 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: where they need to be. And look, he's he's four 394 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: for thirty two from the three point line now in 395 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and last night I'm I mean, I'm not. 396 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: I have no affiliation with the Bucks, even though I 397 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: played there. I try to forget my time there. He 398 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm frustrated watching this, Like, don't shoot 399 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: at three. I don't care if you're Yannis or if 400 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: you're Michael Jordan, I'd be like, don't shoot him anymore. 401 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it serves no purpose. Four for thirty two. 402 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just you can't do it. We're talking 403 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: to John Barry, the former NBA veteran who apparently played 404 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: on just about every team in the NBA. So just eight, 405 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: oh that was in that seven maybe seven seven. The 406 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: worst stop was Milwaukee. Well, it was cold and we stunk, okay, 407 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: all right. Other than that, it was the great they're 408 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: great people in Milwaukee and great prods. H Paulie, you 409 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: have how many games chance? I got John Barry with 410 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: eight teams and thirty six starts out of eight hundred 411 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: and twenty one games. Hey Man, try coming off the 412 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: bench for some of these starters and they whine about whatever. 413 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: It's hard to do. It's a skill. He was on 414 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: the call last night Game three between the Nets and Bucks. 415 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: He's got the jazz in the Clippers Game three. I'm 416 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: trying to figure out the Clippers here, John, I got 417 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: two really good wing defenders who can't guard anybody on 418 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: the wing. So it helped me out here, John. Yeah. Well, 419 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: and throw in Pat Beverley. He's supposed to be a 420 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: superior wing defender. And you had Luca torch him for 421 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: thirty six a night in a seven game series. And 422 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: now Donovan Mitchell gets what eighty two points in two games? Yeah, 423 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: and there were two winnable games. I mean the Clippers 424 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: give them credit. You know, they come back from twenty 425 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: one down in the third quarter last night and have 426 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity. Kawhi hasn't really gone off like he did 427 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: a couple of times in the Dallas Gate. In the 428 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: Dallas series, you know, tylu he switches it up on 429 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: a game to game basis, doesn't he? I mean, no 430 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: Rondo last night. Sometimes he plays jubos, sometimes he plays small, 431 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: sometimes he plays big. He's searching, and I'm not sure 432 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: what to think. I'd feel a lot better if I 433 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: was the Clippers and I were the Bucks, even though 434 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: they're down to nothing as they go home. Who do 435 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: you think is more likely to play for a championship first? 436 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: Devin Booker Donovan Mitchell. Those two teams are both scary, 437 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: you know. Obviously I don't think Denver has an opportunity 438 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: to get out with the loss of Jamal Murray. But 439 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: I think if we see Phoenix Utah in the next series, 440 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: that is a complete toss up in my opinion. And 441 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: Monnie Williams, you can't say enough. They won nineteen games 442 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: two years ago and they're they're terrific. They played with 443 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: great confidence. Devin Booker is phenomenal and Chris Paul obviously, 444 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: can you believe Chris Paul has never gotten out of 445 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: the second round in his career? How's that possible? Well, 446 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: that's why when people say you gotta have Chris Paul, 447 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: and he's a great leader, and he's a winner, but 448 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: he hadn't won. Really, He's never gotten out of the 449 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: second round. I mean, and he single handedly had a 450 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: couple of times where he was directly responsible for them 451 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: not getting out. You remember he tried a three quarter 452 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: court shot against Oklahoma City because he thought he was 453 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: drawing a foul to get three free throws, and they 454 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: didn't call it and they lost the game. And then 455 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: they were he was with the Clippers, they were up 456 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty on Houston in the second half to close out 457 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: a series, lost and lost in seven. I mean, some unbelievable, 458 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: inexplicable losses for Chris Paul. But I don't doubt his 459 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: greatness because he's great and he is a great leader. 460 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: What's going to happen with the Lakers in the off season, 461 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: aside from Lebron changing its jersey dumber? Complete overhaul? All right? Oh, 462 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Shrewder's back. I think they try to 463 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: move Kuzma, Wesley Matthew's gone, They'll try to probably resign Caruso. Uh. 464 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't think Drummond goes back. Gasol will be gone, 465 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think it's a total overhaul. Wow, Yeah, 466 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: why why not they're they're three point shooting. I mean, look, 467 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: they were hurt and when we went into the went 468 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: into the playoff game playing game. Excuse me, I mean 469 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: they literally could have lost that game to the Golden 470 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: State Warriors at home. They had not played together. They 471 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: had Drummond who just got there, they didn't play with 472 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: Lebron and Ad Shrewder was out for two weeks protocol. 473 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: They were totally discombobulated and you could see their offense 474 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: was completely out of sorts and they were they were 475 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: banged up. So I'll give him that excuse. And you know, 476 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: but think about this too, Dan, they won a Bubble 477 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: championship last year. Look at all the players that they've 478 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: given up to get Anthony Davis. Now, let's say they 479 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: don't win another championship with Lebron and they got to 480 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: what a two or three year window of that, if 481 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: they never win again, is that worth it? Probably? Yeah? Okay, yeah, 482 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean I think you gotta get one. It's like 483 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: if the Nets get one, this was worth it, right, Well, 484 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: the Nets tried it a few years ago with Kevin 485 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: Garnett fall years and that didn't pan out so well. 486 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: But I mean, look at the talent that the Lakers 487 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: have given up on, right, Julius Randel, brandon Ingram, Josh Hard, 488 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball, I mean Lonzo Ball, who else? I mean 489 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Clarkson. There are a lot of guys that they mortgage, 490 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, to get this done. And they got their 491 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: one title, so maybe they'll be happy. But what's the 492 00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: what's the reputation with Anthony Davis? Uh? I think great player? 493 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: Just fragile I guess I mean or you know, or 494 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: you can say unlucky okay? And is he really a 495 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: truly a number one guy? I know he's not playing 496 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: this the number one guy now, but when Lebron leaves, 497 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: is he enough to be your number one guy and 498 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: carry you due? Champiship didn't work in New Orleans obviously 499 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: didn't have the talent. But can he be a number one? 500 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: But is that more mindset though, John, that you have 501 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: to want to be the guy that you know, that 502 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: mentality of like iverson every night, like I'm gonna be 503 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: the guy. You know, all of these guys that you 504 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: played against or with, you had to have that mentality 505 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: of when I go out there, I'm the man. I 506 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: don't know if Anthony Davis feels that way, will feel 507 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: that way when Lebron's not there, We're you know, does 508 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: the grief freak think he's the one when he goes 509 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: out there? Should he think he's the one? I just 510 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: wonder about that whole mindset of I want it, man, 511 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: I want I want the game on the line, the 512 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: ball in my hands. Well, how many guys in the 513 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: history of the league. Not a lot, not as many 514 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: as people think, correct, because you guys know, you knew 515 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: that there are guys who had alligator arms. You know, 516 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: when their game on the line, you're you want to 517 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: throw it to them, and then they may not want it. 518 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: Give me those names, Give me those names of those guys, 519 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: because you have to want it. And I just wonder if, 520 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: like playoff Pe, you want to be paid like you're 521 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: a star, but you got to act like a star. Yeah, 522 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: well you have to perform like it and like and 523 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: it's it's I mean, you start with Michael Jordan, right, 524 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: I mean that that guy, there's no question that that 525 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: would be the guy, right, And Kobe Kobe's there, Yeah, yeah, 526 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: is Lebron that guy? Well, you played against all three, 527 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: so you play against Jordan, Kobe and Lebron y game 528 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: on the line. What was the biggest difference? Uh, well, 529 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: well Lebron would be more apt to make the pass, okay, right? 530 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: Is it the correct play? Probably? But Michael Jordan do 531 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: you think he cared about the correct play? He did 532 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: give it to Steve Kerr right when John Stockton came 533 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: over and doubled Steve Kerr hit the shot. But Michael 534 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: was reluctant to do that for many years and until 535 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: he didn't win, until he started trusting his teammates. Right, 536 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: But Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant is close to Michael 537 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: Jordan as anybody I think we've ever seen, so those 538 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: two guys. But Lebron is great at like I don't 539 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: know if there's a better guy getting to the hoop 540 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: in NBA history. But does he go there at the 541 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: end of the does he go there at the end 542 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: of games? He does not? Line know he does? He 543 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: does not want to go? What is it about that? That? Oh? 544 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean, how would you not want to? God of 545 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: the game on the line, he's under seventy percent from 546 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: the line? I just that. How about Janie was fifty 547 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: three percent? Coming in? John? You couldn't shoot blindfolded, and 548 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: I know this is true. I would make five out 549 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: of ten. You wouldn't make. You would make more than that, 550 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I would, hope. Yeah if I Yeah, you would too. Yeah, 551 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: I know I would. But I'm obviously a great shooter. John. Well, 552 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: it's all relatives. Gave lkay, Ben Simmons, Jannis and me 553 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: in a shooting contest. Oh yeah, I'll take you. That's 554 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: the right answer there, that's the right answer. Well, yes, yeah, 555 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: of course it is. On the golf course. Yeah, now 556 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: on there. No, no, I'm better than Ben Simmons and 557 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: Jannis on the golfer I'm talking about me and you. 558 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, you're really good on it. But see, 559 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: I have a full time job. I'm not full time. No, 560 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: oh no, you're not a full time I mean, come on, 561 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: you mail it in like you give me. You give 562 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: me a couple of a couple of hours and that's it. 563 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: You can play golf all day. I tried to. I 564 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: know you do if my wine drinking doesn't get in 565 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 1: the way. But okay, you got Game three coming up 566 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: over the weekend, so yeah, you got a couple of 567 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: days off, John, I do um today I'll be a 568 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: tough day. Are you going to be studying tape? Is 569 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: that what you're gonna try to tell us? Oh, I'll 570 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: rewatch both games last night, Yes, okay, and then we'll 571 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: get going. Do you have a grudge? Do you hold 572 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: a grudge against anybody you played with? Like all these 573 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: years later, are you still sort of frosty at somebody? 574 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: Just every coach that didn't play anymore? I mean that's all. 575 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundy didn't play me enough. No, no, no, 576 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: I just you know, the game is harder. The game 577 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: is not as fun to watch for me as it 578 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,959 Speaker 1: was back when I played in the nineties. You know, 579 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: you remember you, you Steve did it. It's just that 580 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: everybody kind of does the same thing. You know. It's 581 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: it's high pick and roll, get a switch, circle somebody 582 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: out that you want to get one on one. Everybody, 583 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: get the hell out of the way and drive the 584 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: ball if they help, kick it to a three point shooter, 585 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: and then we move on. But you look at these 586 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: rules and I just wonder what certain players from another 587 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: era would have been like with today's rules if I 588 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: would allowed, Like, what kind of player would Magic be 589 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: in today's game? Uh? Like, would would Michael be shooting threes. Um, Kobe. 590 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: Kobe would be Kobe, I mean even greater um because 591 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: he would you how would you? How would you guard 592 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: Kobe and Michael Jordan? Would you can't? I could? You can't? Yeah, 593 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: you can't touch them. I mean I think Michael would 594 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: be averaging forty five points without a problem. He'd be 595 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: at the line twenty times. I mean, it's and it's 596 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: all been. That's what they wanted, right. They geared this 597 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: to get offense. They don't. They don't. It's like the NFL, 598 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: right with the with the cornerbacks. You can't touch a guy. 599 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: They want offense and they're not giving defenses a chance. 600 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: So it's it's just and the three point line has 601 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: really changed, really changed the game, It really has. They 602 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: finally figured it out statistic wise that shooting the three 603 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: fifty times a game is better than you know, laying 604 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: the ball in three on two. Remember three on one 605 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: breaks you, Hey, guys run to the wing and then 606 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: run right to the rim and get the corner three 607 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: every time. Yeah, I know, we sound like the old guy. 608 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: Get off my lawn. I there was too much physicality 609 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: back in the nineties. Yes, and and it took away 610 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: from greatness there. There's too much freedom now where you 611 00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: can't touch anybody, and uh yeah, I don't know if 612 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: if you were going to make a change, would you 613 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: move the three point shot back? Would you widen the court? 614 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: Would you do anything drastic to help the NBA? Well, 615 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: I like widen the court, maybe maybe wide in the lane, 616 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: But I think if you move that three point in lineback, 617 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: it would probably be worse because people are still going 618 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: to do it, and you know there's so many guys 619 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: that shoot the three that shouldn't be shooting, right. I mean, 620 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: if you're like Russell Westbrook, like he's a career thirty 621 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: percent maybe or twenty nine percent, I think he's the 622 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: worst of all time? Is he a grant? Is he 623 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: one of the all time great players? That's a tough one. 624 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: I mean average a triple double? Was that three out 625 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: of the last four years he's done that now? But 626 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: there's a reason that that hasn't happened since Oscar Robertson 627 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: in the sixties. Right, the game is that much different, right, 628 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: I mean you're when you're taking fifty threes in a game, 629 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: how many rebounds go out to the free throw line 630 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: where point guards can pick him up. Back in the day, 631 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: that's not what happened. Fours and fives were guys that 632 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: got rebounds, and that's it. Point guards didn't get rebounds. 633 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: I bet you if you look, John Stocking would have 634 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: games where he had no rebounds and seventeen assists and 635 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: so it's the game's different. But again, to be to 636 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: get a triple double, you have to be involved in 637 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: a whole lot of plays. But his rough game. Magic's 638 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: the greatest point guard of all time, right, Uh yeah, 639 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: I would take him and then John Stockton. You would 640 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: take Stockton over Westbrook? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, if to 641 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: play with yeah, Jason Kidd, would you take him over Westbrook? Uh? Yeah, 642 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: I think I'd rather play with him. Chris Paul, Chris Paul, Okay. Well, 643 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: Scotty Brooks was saying that he thinks Russell Westbrook might 644 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: be the same can greatest point guard of all time. Now, 645 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: I know it's his guy, but he's on his team. 646 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: I know, what do you have to say, Russell Westbrook? 647 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: I mean, these numbers are felonious. I don't I don't 648 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: want him. He's the nineteenth point Yeah, Dan, Dan, He's 649 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: the best athlete at the point guard position to ever play. 650 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: All right, I know your tea times in twenty minutes, 651 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: so I'm sorry if I held you up there from 652 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, No, I'm a member guest at the club 653 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: that I can't claim because i'm working.
