We 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: will have a pull question play of the day, stat 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: of the day, Winning to finds Legacies in the NBA 20 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's performance in this year's postseason might be an 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: exception to that rule, because I know it's recency bias, 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: but if you said, who's the best basketball player in 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: the world, Kevin Durant's getting everybody's vote, and he's not 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: in the playoffs any longer. Kyrie Irving was out, James 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Harden struggled, Katie put the nets on his back, and 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: it got to a point where yesterday it just felt 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: like the nets were just waiting for Kevin Durant. They 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: were just watching Kevin Durant, and it was kind of odd, 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: I should say, Saturday, it was just odd to watch it, 30 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: but they were just watching and then waiting for Kevin 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Durant to do something, and he was inches away from 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: bearing a three that would have won the game. His 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: toes were on the line, and they went into overtime 34 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: where Milwaukee finally put away the series. But once again, 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: Urrant was wonderful. He played all fifty three minutes, He 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: had forty eight points, and you got to see an 37 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: incredible skill set on display, you know, and it was 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: a shame the last shot that he took was an airball. 39 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: But you know that that performance, you know, this entire series, 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: this entire postseason, you know, that this was a bad 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: this was a failure this season. Like if you said, oh, 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, do the Nets have a lot to feel 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: good about, No, they don't. I mean you got to 44 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: make the finals at least, and you know this is 45 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: where James Harden wasn't in shape to start the season 46 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: and wasn't in shape to end this season. Kyrie Irving, 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: what this was was a reminder about Kevin Durant. Unprecedented, 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: It was fun to watch. Hopefully we won't forget. You know, 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: the Bucks have moved on and we have time to 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: talk about them. It's almost like the storylines of the 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: teams that aren't in the playoffs any longer are more 52 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: interesting now. I know the Sons, they've waited a long 53 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: time for this. We'll get to that. The Clippers have 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: waited a long time to get to the Western Conference finals. 55 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: We'll get to that as well. But you have the 56 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: seventy six ers drama there. What do the Nets look 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: like next year? But this was a failure for the 58 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: Nets because that's a team that has a three year 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: window to win at least one championship, and that's now 60 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: two years that you have left. It feels like to 61 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: win a championship, and it's been a long time since 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: we've had a playoffs that. In fact, it's the second 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: time since the NBA began seeding for the playoffs by 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: conference in nineteen seventy three that neither number one seed 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: has made the conference finals. But you had some great 66 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: basketball over the weekend. Certainly what happened with the Atlanta 67 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Hawks with Philadelphia, Philadelphia is more interesting just because I 68 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: don't know what we're going to see next year, what's 69 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: that lineup going to look like? And if you're Philadelphia, 70 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: based off of some of the comments post game comments here, 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: they got a big decision to make with and Simmons. 72 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: Here is Joe lmbad on the turning point of the 73 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: game yesterday. Well, not to say it, but I thought 74 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: the thundering plant was just you know, we had an 75 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: open shot. Man, you know, we missed. We made Moanfrito 76 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: and we missed the other end. Then that came down 77 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: this court. Uh and uh, we didn't get a good 78 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: possession on the other end. And Trey came back and 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: he made the three and then from the down four 80 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: and then I go, I, uh, he's on me. I 81 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: turn the ball over and try to you know, make 82 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: something happen from the perimeter, um man um. But I 83 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: thought that was a ton important. What he's talking about 84 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: is Ben Simmons was posting up low, had an opportunity 85 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,119 Speaker 1: to go up for a dunk, and the only person 86 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: standing in his way was Trey Young and barely in 87 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: his way. Ben Simmons is six ten. He passed it. 88 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: He passed it off. And this is really a microcouse 89 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: him here of Ben Simmons in the fourth quarter. He 90 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: didn't make it. He didn't make a field goal in 91 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the last four games, barely attempted 92 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: shots in the fourth quarter. You're shooting under forty percent 93 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: from the free throw line. Here's Doc Rivers being asked 94 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: if he thinks he can win a championship with Ben 95 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: Simmons as his point guard. Do you think Ben Simmons 96 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: can still be a point guard for for a championship 97 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: team like the one you guys want to become. Yeah, David, 98 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that question or the answer to that 99 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: right now, you know so, I don't know the answer 100 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: to that. You when you say get in the gym 101 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: with him, what he's to be done, we obviously get Yeah. 102 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I, that's that's between Ben and I. Wow, 103 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: it's not between Ben and I. Not now, not after 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: that comment, because now everybody's going, wait a minute, can 105 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: you win with him as your see To me, Ben 106 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: Simmons was never a great player. I think we thought 107 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: he was a great player, you know, coming out of 108 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: high school one and done at LSU. Oh my gosh, 109 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: he's another Magic Johnson. You know, maybe he's a lamar 110 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Odom Magic Johnson kind of player. Well, he's not that, 111 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: and I think he would be better served to play 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: the role of a Draymond Green. Draymond Green plays defense, 113 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: he can hit a couple of timely shots, he rebounds, 114 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: he leads the team and assist, but you don't expect 115 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: him to be your go to guy. Ben Simmons is 116 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: really a third guy and maybe a fourth guy on 117 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: a really good team. The expectation level is so high 118 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: for him, and now there's almost a sadness or you 119 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: feel sorry for him. You know, markl Foltz forgot how 120 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: to shoot and had to leave Philadelphia, went to Orlando 121 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: and sort of revitalized a career here. I don't know 122 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: what you get for Ben Simmons. I don't know who's 123 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna want Ben Simmons. But if you if it's almost 124 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: like he needs to go to a team that doesn't 125 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: have great expectations, that you don't expect them to win. 126 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Therefore he can kind of figure out who he is 127 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: as a player, because I don't know if he knows. 128 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: And you could see he was just very tentative. You 129 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: can't be tentative in sports. But this is going to 130 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: be a long off season for Ben and I think 131 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: just trying to figure out who he is and what 132 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: he needs to do. Here's Ben Simmons meeting with the 133 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: media on this offseason. Ben doc said there's work to do, 134 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: and he and you need to get into the gym. 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: What do you think the work is it needs to 136 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: be done, and I guess prioritized. Is it free throw shooting? 137 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: Is it being more aggressive? Is it perimeter shooting? What 138 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: is it in your game that you think you need 139 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: to improve? First? I think all of it, all of them. 140 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: I ain't shoe well from the line this series. Offensively, 141 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I ain't doing enough for my teammates. 142 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot there's a lot of things I need 143 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: to work with him. Yep. Confidence is a big thing 144 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: here and form this is really it's it's simple in 145 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: diagnosing it, it's not going to be simple to overcome it. 146 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: If you watch him shoot, you can't shoot with your 147 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: elbow out. He's got to he's got to clear that up, 148 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: clean that up, and shoot more with the arms straight 149 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: up instead of out, because out is a horrible for him. 150 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: I've been saying it since he was at LSU. It 151 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: almost looked like he's a right handed player who's learning 152 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: to shoot left handed. But I don't know if you 153 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: can bring him back. I really don't. And by the way, 154 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: to the reporter, don't ask a question and then answer 155 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: the question. How about you just say, Doc said, what 156 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: do you need to work on? Just a small suggestion there? Yes, MC, 157 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: Do you think the Sixers could get like a zach 158 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: Levine or like I mean, Bradley Beale, be Hindh. Is 159 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: there any way they can package Simmons? Will any like 160 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: sort of lower level team be interested in? Yeah? But 161 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: why why why do we always look at the team 162 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: that you like and say, boy, they could get zach Levine. 163 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: That means Chicago has to go, Hey, we'll take Ben Simmons. Yeah, 164 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: but Chicago seems to have a love hate relationship with 165 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: Zach Levine. Like it's be almost like two detriments, you 166 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: know what. I love Zach Levine and I'd hate to lose, 167 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: and that would be my love hate relationship if I'm 168 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: the Bulls. He averaged twenty seven a game, Like, you know, 169 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: come on, so, okay, I won't even bring up leader 170 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. No, no, no, don't do that. Steph Curry 171 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: twins some nice things about his brother, yeah yeah, yeah, 172 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: and then it cost the GM some money there.

So the 177 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: Bucks close out the Nets, Hawks close out the seventy 178 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: six ers, The Jazz flame out. Suns beat the Clippers 179 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: in Game one without Chris Paul and Kawhi Leonard wasn't 180 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: there for the Clippers tonight, No NBA back to the Jazz. 181 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: You know, I've railed on first team, second team, third 182 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Team All NBA where you have to have two guards 183 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: and two forwards in the center. Okay, how many goods centers, 184 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: are there three joker embiid Rudy Gobert. Right. Therefore, Rudy 185 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: Gobert is considered one of the top fifteen players in 186 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: the NBA, but he's not. The Clippers exposed Rudy Gobert. 187 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: So when we talk about great defenders, you know, but 188 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: that guy's the defensive player of the year. Okay, he's 189 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: a rim protector. But as far as like, you can't 190 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: be the best defensive player, one of the top defensive players, 191 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: and then be a liability on defense. And that's what 192 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: the Clipper Terrence Man, For god's sakes, Terrence Man lit 193 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: up Rudy Gobert, and I would have said, hey, here's 194 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: a headline. You're probably not gonna believe Terrence Man lighting 195 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: up Rudy Gobert, and he did pick and roll. That's 196 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: why you know, in today's NBA where you go, is 197 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: there any room for a big man? If you can't 198 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: handle pick and roll, then no, like you become a liability. 199 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear all. You know, Rudy 200 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: Gobert defensive player. If you get four blocks or three 201 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: blocks in a game and you average that, that doesn't 202 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: mean you're the defensive player of the year because he 203 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: got exposed. This is all about perimeter defense. Your defensive 204 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: player of the year should be somebody who can play 205 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: on the perimeter, because that's where games are won and lost. 206 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: Not Hey, I'm a rim protector. It's nice to have that. 207 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: But in the postseason, he got exposed. And I know 208 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: the Jazz weren't completely healthy. Donovan Mitchell, you should still win. 209 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: You got to win that game. There's no excuse for that. 210 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: You don't even have Kawhi Leonard in there. And I 211 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: do want to say this is not going to be 212 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: said by many people, but Tylo has done a wonderful 213 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: job with the Clippers. He really has. He makes adjustments. 214 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: I thought that he was unfairly maligned after Lebron had 215 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: won the title, and then they eventually got rid of him, 216 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: and then he couldn't get a job. I think he's 217 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: a really good coach, and I think he's made adjustment. 218 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: Just the fact you don't have Kawhi. I know the 219 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 1: Suns didn't have Chris Paul, but you're in Phoenix and 220 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: you're still in the game late in the game, and 221 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 1: I don't know if they win this series but I 222 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: will say I think they'll be far more competitive because 223 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: of Tylu there and they had an opportunity. And I 224 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: don't know if Kauai is going to play, probably not 225 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: going to play in game two. And then we'll see 226 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: when the series goes back to Los Angeles. John Ron 227 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: won the US Open at Tory Pines. We'll talk about that. 228 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: Your phone calls are welcome, best and worst of the weekend. 229 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: What you saw that you liked you didn't like?

You want to go 260 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: positive or negative? And sire, let's start negative. Who had 261 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: the worst weekend? Now we know Ben Simmons is on 262 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: the list. All right, we know Bryson D. Shambo is 263 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: on the list. You know the debate over here should 264 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: we put Louis Eustasen on that list. I don't know 265 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: if anybody cares about Louie Eustasen, like Bryson Deshambo, they 266 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: know him. Louie's just a nice guy who wants to 267 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: ride his tractor on a farm when he's not playing golf. 268 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything controversial about him. And they're like, oh, 269 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: it seems like a really nice guy. Doesn't Louie ustas 270 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: In play like he would be playing on a Sunday 271 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: afternoon at a pub golf course, even like that guy's 272 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: got a really nice swing there, you know, his ekg 273 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: like he's just probably flatlines there a little bit, but yeah, 274 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, he choked a little bit there, not like 275 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: de Shambo did. He was eight over on eight holes. 276 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: What else do you have, mclovin, Which team is kicking 277 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: themselves the most? We did this before that lost this weekend? 278 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: The Nets, the seventy sixers or the Utah Jazz, Well, 279 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: that tough one, k but you can say we expect 280 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: the Nets to win. I think the Utah Jazz. Okay, 281 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: the opening was there, Like you you had the opening. 282 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about the Lakers. You know, 283 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: the Sixers. I'm gonna say the Sixers because now you 284 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: have it was open for you as well, and you 285 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: know Trey Young didn't shoot well, like the opening was 286 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: there for you. The nets are out. Now you have 287 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: a chance to go to the NBA Finals. You don't 288 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: have to worry about the Lakers. And I would say 289 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: the seventy six Ers probably kicking themselves. Mike Selski is 290 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia in Choir columnist. He's covered the seventy six 291 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: Ers for nearly twenty years, and Mike joins USA on 292 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: the program. All right, Mike, what do you think the 293 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: mood is with Sixer fans? I think the Philadelphia police 294 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: need to guard all the bridges in and around the 295 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: city because there's going to be some people heading there 296 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: and ready to take the deep plunge. Not to be 297 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: too dark about it. Where do you think the anger lies? 298 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: A lot of it at Ben Simmons. A lot of 299 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: it at Ben Simmons because Ben violated kind of the 300 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: first rule of Philadelphia sports, which is you can go down, 301 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: but you'd better go down trying. And the fact that 302 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: he kind of withered away at the end there didn't 303 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: want clearly didn't want the ball in his hands. You 304 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: know that passed up dunk is going to be the 305 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: subject of documentary filmmaking for years to come, I think. 306 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: And then you had Doc when he was question after 307 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: the game, can you win a championship with him? And 308 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: he answered it honestly, I was surprised he did, saying, 309 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that where Prior to this, it felt 310 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: like Doc was always there to remind the media Ben 311 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: Simmons is a special player. Can you can they win 312 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: a championship with Ben Simmons? They can win a championship 313 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons, I think. I don't think they can 314 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: win a championship with Ben Simmons as their point guard. 315 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: You can't have a point guard abdicating his role in 316 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: the offense completely to the degree that Simmons does. I mean, 317 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: he just stands there under the basket and becomes a 318 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: non factor and non option. You can't even throw him 319 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: the ball because he doesn't want to go to the 320 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: foul line. It's a it's a really complex bad situation 321 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: in that he's gotten worse in that regard since he's 322 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: been in the league. I mean, his numbers were all 323 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: down this season There's been a lot made in Philadelphia 324 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: about how Doc Rivers was going to be the new 325 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: coach who was going to come in and you know, 326 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: unlead Ben. But if you look at Ben's numbers and 327 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: you watch the quality of his play over the course 328 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: of the season, he did not improve as a player 329 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: under Doc. He got worse. And then he doesn't even 330 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: attempt field goals in the fourth quarter. I mean that. 331 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: I mean, that's so telling here, Mike, that he in 332 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: the mental aspect of this, this isn't something you just 333 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: go into a gym and say, hey, come on in 334 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: and shoot some free throws. Like this, there's more to 335 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: this than just we're going to fix your form, which 336 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: would be really difficult to do as well. Do the 337 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: seventy sixers have the infrastructure to be able to do 338 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: this and and say all right, hey, we're going to 339 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: take time, we learn you know from previous players that 340 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: you know have the yeps shooting yips. Well, well, I mean, Dan, 341 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: let's let's be honest about this day. As it turned out, 342 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: they drafted players number one overall in back to back 343 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: seasons in Ben Simmons, Marquel Folks who can't shoot. I mean, 344 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: this is and it's not. You know, they try and 345 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: they can't do it. They had a mental block about it, 346 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: and we can You're right, we can talk all we 347 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: want about simmons form. And I've written columns about this, 348 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: about how his elbow flares out and his form is 349 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: terrible and he's ambidexterous, and maybe it would be better 350 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: if he weren't. It's not about the form anymore. He 351 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: does not want to go to the foul line. And 352 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: to answer your question about whether the Sixers can sort 353 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: this out, they had a dry run at this with 354 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Marquel folks and they weren't able to do with And 355 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: now you've got it with Simmons all over again. And 356 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: I think the worst part of it is is that 357 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: his teammates see it and they know it. You watch 358 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: that clip of that passed up dunk again. You see 359 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: Joe LMB putting his hands in the air like what 360 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: are you doing? Ben? Just throw the ball down? And 361 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing gumes up an offense. 362 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: It creates tension on a team where a team can't 363 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: afford it, you know. The scuttlebut in Philadelphia is that 364 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: this is it for Ben Simmons There and at this point, 365 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: I find it hard to disagree. Yeah, I'm trying to 366 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: figured this out of does this become a Carson Wentz 367 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: like that, you almost feel like you have to let 368 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: him go for the betterment of both the organization and 369 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I think it's starker than the Winz situation. 370 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: There was still some debate and divide in Philadelphia over 371 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: whether the Eagles want to keep Wentz, whether the problems 372 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: that the Eagles went through last season were solely on 373 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: Wentz or mostly on Wentz. You know, there are questions 374 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: about the offensive line and all that kind of stuff. 375 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: This is far more naked. You can see it. He 376 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: does not want to participate in the offense, and you 377 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: can see how that trickles down. Look, Joel Embiid had 378 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: eight turnovers last night, and that's bad. And he didn't 379 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: rise to the occasion in the way that Kevin Durant 380 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: did or Janis did the other night. But he's not 381 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: the kind of player who you want creatting off the dribble. 382 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: You need a player, a point guard who can get 383 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: a player like Embiad and a player like Tobias Harris 384 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: into the flow of an offense. And right now, the 385 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: Sixers don't have that, and everybody can see it, and 386 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: all those eyes are going to one place, and that's 387 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: been Simmons. So what do you do in the season. 388 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Is there a trade market for Ben Simmons. That's a 389 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: great question. I mean, look, Daryl Morey tried during the season. 390 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they came very close to making that deal 391 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 1: for James Harden. You know, they wanted hardened, they were 392 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: willing to move Simmons to get it. The irony of 393 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: all that is that Simmons came back after that trade 394 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: fell through, and Harden ended up with the nets and 395 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: played great for a while. But I think there is 396 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: there the market that there once was. No there can't 397 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: possibly be after these seven games that he played against 398 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: the Hawks. But I think more He's going to have 399 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: to try to get creative because if they bring him 400 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: back and they try to run this back without making 401 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: some significant changes, boy, it's going to be a hard 402 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: go for them next year in the city. Is the 403 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: process still going on, Mike? You know, I feel like 404 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: Dan I was an advocate of the process. I loved 405 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: what Samhinky was doing. I felt like the process sort 406 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: of kind of ended once he resigned there's been so 407 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: much upheaval and so many changes since then. They've gone 408 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: through Brian Colangelo, they went through a year without really 409 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 1: a GM where they ended up trading away mckel bridges, 410 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: Zaire Smith. You know, they let Jimmy Butler walk and 411 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: signed Tobias Harris instead. You know, now we have Doc 412 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: and Darryl. You know in here the process has ended. 413 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: I think we're far enough removed from what Hinky was 414 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: doing and was trying to do to say, look, you know, 415 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: they took a big swing. It didn't work, and in 416 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: some ways Philadelphia was kind of the worst place for 417 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: it for trying something like this because Philadelphia sports fans 418 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: and sports followers are most comfortable and like a defensive crouch, right, 419 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: they don't want to leave themselves open to the possibility 420 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: of failure. They want to protect themselves as much as 421 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: they can. That's why the series lost hurts so much, Dan, 422 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: is that the Sixtures were favored. It was one thing 423 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: to have the Eagles beat the Patriots when Nick Foles 424 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: the backup, is leading them to championship glory. It's another 425 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: thing when a team is supposed to win a series. 426 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: Philadelphia hates that I use the announce aology that if 427 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: you could have Ben Simmons in a role that's similar 428 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: to Draymond Green with Golden State, where he's the third 429 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: or fourth option, where you you know, his passing, defense 430 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: and rebounding, if there's a way to kind of and 431 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: it sounds strange to say it that you've got to 432 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of hide him or put him in a position 433 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: where he can succeed. This is all you ask him 434 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: to do. And I don't know if that's possible. I'm 435 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: not sure it is either not with the money he's making. 436 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean, can you afford under the salary cap to 437 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: have a guy who makes thirty forty million dollars a year, 438 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, be Draymond Green. I mean nothing against Draymond 439 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: he's a horrific player. But you know, he wasn't Steph Curry, 440 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: he wasn't Kevin durand he wasn't Clay Thompson. So you know, 441 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: what do you do if you're the Sixers? As you said, 442 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: you can't really hide a guy who's making that much money. 443 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: It just gives you more to write, Mike, They just 444 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: they write these columns for you. Hey, I'll take it, man, 445 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: I'll take it. Every time. Thank you, Mike. We appreciate 446 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: your time for having me. Dan appreciate it. Mike Sealski, 447 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: who writes for the Philadelphia Inquire covering this seventy six 448 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: ers for a couple of decades. There. Yes, Paul, you 449 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: know you're comparing to Draymond Green. And when Draymond Green 450 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: was a three time All Star, he was averaging like, 451 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, fourteen points twelve points a game. It wasn't 452 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: a main option, but he was shooting like seventy three 453 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: percent from the free throw lit he was shooting thirty 454 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: four percent from three and shooting like four three is 455 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: a game. He was a nice shooter. Yeah. Yeah, it's tough, 456 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: and you know this the mental side of this, that's 457 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: where we don't understand. And it's really hard to correct 458 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: because I could say to Ben Simmons, why didn't you 459 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: get together, why didn't you just watch Chris Mullen free throws? 460 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: Just watch the flow that Molly had left hander, look 461 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: at the form and the feel that he has, and 462 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: maybe or hire Chris Mullen. I mean, if you you 463 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: got a guy making forty million dollars a year bringing 464 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: Chris Mullen as a shooting coach just to say, let 465 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: me work with you, Like, what's the downside to that? 466 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: But I think his form is not good because his 467 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: elbow is out. And if you've ever tried to change 468 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: your golf swing, it's really hard to do. And what 469 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: happens is once you know I've been trying to do 470 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: it for twenty five years. To be a better player, 471 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: what you do is you keep practicing the things that 472 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: don't make you consistent or good. So Ben Simmons can 473 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: go in the gym, he can shoot a thousand free throws. 474 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if he's not shooting it correctly. Lonzo 475 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: Ball same thing I kept I kept saying. If Lonzo 476 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: looked at Kevin Durant, where Kevin starts on the left 477 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: side of his head and gets over to right in 478 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: the middle of his forehead a little bit to the right, 479 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: Lonzo has almost like it's a windshield wiper that that 480 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: can't work because it takes long, too long to load up. 481 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: If he shortened it a little bit, then I think 482 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: he would get better results. We're seeing him shoot a 483 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: little bit better, but it's not that as much as 484 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: the confidence to take the shot. Ben didn't even he 485 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: wasn't even attempting shots. I mean, at least the Greek 486 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: freak will try. He'll attempt shots. He's not a good shooter, 487 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: but he knows he has to keep shooting for that team. 488 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: And by the way, he was spectacular in Game seven. 489 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: He really was. But that was an entire team that 490 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: played great. Because I called him bums after the first 491 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: two games. You have your opportunity to win, and they 492 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: made me work because I picked them to beat the nets, 493 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: and I thought they're not a good enough team to 494 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: beat the nets even with the nets wounded, and they 495 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: almost lost that. Kevin Durant's wearing the correct size shoes. 496 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: The fact that he wears eighteens and he's a size 497 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: seven team because he says, you know, I'm faster aerodynamics 498 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. If he wears what he's supposed 499 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: to wear, then we're talking about the Bucks bowing out 500 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Yeah, Paul, go back to Ben Simmons. 501 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: He's been in six playoffs series in his career. In 502 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, he shot seventy one percent from the line. 503 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: In the playoffs. Twenty nineteen, he shot sixty five percent 504 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: from the line. This year, he shot thirty four percent 505 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: from the line, So it's not like he couldn't do 506 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, seventy one percent. You take that, Yeah, you 507 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: can get by with that. It's half. It's getting worse. 508 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: By the way, the Greek Freak has at least thirty 509 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: points in each of his last five games. That's the 510 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: longest postseason streak buy bucks since Kareem Abdul Jabbar did 511 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: that during the nineteen seventy playoffs. Stat of the day, 512 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: stat of the day, best stat of the day, stat 513 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: of the day. He comes that, what stat of the day? 514 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: By the way, there's certain players that you watch and 515 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: you go, man, they make it look really easy. Devin 516 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: Booker is one of those players that if you haven't 517 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to watch him in a game, we 518 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: see highlights, but when you watch him in a game, 519 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm always curious how you get your shots? Like, what 520 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: do you do? Are you always running around? You float 521 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: a little bit here, you beat people off the dribble. 522 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: Devin Booker is talented enough to be a point guard, 523 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: but he's a great shooting guard. But he put up 524 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: a triple double and just he floats. There's something about 525 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: his game where he doesn't look like he has to 526 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: work as hard for shots. There are guys who you're like, man, 527 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: that guy Reggie Miller who will join us later on, 528 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: reg had to work to get his shots because he 529 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: couldn't beat you off the dribble. There's certain players who 530 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: just sort of float. They're in the ether, and then 531 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they get the ball and they 532 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: make it look very easy. And this will be a 533 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: coming out party for Devin Booker, even though last year 534 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: in the bubble, but this is Trey Young. It feels 535 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: like these playoffs Trey Young and Devin Booker. Now that 536 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean these two teams are going to win, but 537 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: it does mean you're going to get a chance to 538 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: watch these young players. And you know, the Atlanta Hawks 539 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: are more than Trey Young to go into Philadelphia and 540 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: win that game, and Trey Young did not play well. 541 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: And this is where you get that opportunity to see 542 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: a team play, because normally you're gonna see, hey, there's 543 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: four highlights of Trey Young on Sports Center, and then 544 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: you'll put up your score panel and then that'll be it. 545 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: Or the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Suns winder in 546 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: the regular season, and you get three highlights of Devin Booker, 547 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: maybe a Chris Paul midrange jumper. That's it. But Kevin 548 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: Herder and John Collins. You gotta Bugdanovitch on there too. 549 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: Clint Cappella Gallinari has been on quite a few teams. 550 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: Nate McMillan's done a wonderful job with that team. So 551 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: there's there's some fun storylines, but it feels the storylines 552 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: today have to do with the teams that aren't in 553 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the postseason. Best and worst of the weekend, your phone calls, 554 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: we'll get to those. Got played the day, stat of 555 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: the day. We'll settle on our poll question as well. 556 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: Joe and Ohio leads this off. Hi Joe, what's on 557 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: your mind today? Hey? Dn best and a lot of 558 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: worse on him? Be quick, best US Open and all 559 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: the NBA games. Really fun weekend for both. Not my worst. 560 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm not a Sixers fan at all, don't have any affiliation. 561 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: I was irrationally mad at Ben Simmons all weekend. I 562 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: was at the gym yesterday. I shot ten free throws 563 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: left handed to see what I could do. Never done 564 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: it before. Four for ten. It's impossible to be thirty percent. 565 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: It's impossible. So that's one two. Like you said earlier, 566 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: I think we're giving him the benefit of the doubt. 567 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: Being the number one pick. If you was picked at eleven, 568 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 1: no one would even consider what he's doing. You're like, oh, 569 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: he's a solid player, right, He's like a Draymond Green, 570 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: like he said three, because he's an All Star and 571 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: he has expected as I think that might have been 572 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: the worst NBA Playoff performance in the history of time, 573 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: and it was infuriating and watching. I'm not even a fan. Okay, 574 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: I got everything in. I'm sorry for that. Thank you, 575 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: Joe the benefit. Did you see what he was doing 576 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: with that? Now? He wasn't. I just gave him credit 577 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, McLevin, isn't some of this pressure? Like 578 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: you could just tell some guys don't want it. I 579 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: hate to say it, I said before James Harden Game 580 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: seven's is not the same James Harden then you see 581 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: in every other game. I don't know how healthy he was. 582 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: I applauded him for being out there. I don't think 583 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: he helped them when he was out there, But this 584 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: is a Game seven and it shouldn't be just reliant 585 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: on Kevin Durant and it was and you got James 586 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: Harden had another bad playoff performance in a Game seven. 587 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: It was two for twelve from three and one of 588 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: them was a lucky bank shot. Yes, yes, I know 589 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: he's not one hundred percent, but he's going to do 590 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: the same thing next year. He's done it. We've seen 591 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: it now. Tobias Hair, I know, I keep talking about 592 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: Tobias Hairs. He's two for eleven in that game. They 593 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: blew there, and you like Tobias. I liked it. I 594 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: like him except for when there's pressure on him because 595 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, hey, he's a great regular season player that 596 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: there's certain guys who are just equipped for the postseason. 597 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: They aren't. I mean, the Sixers got a lot of 598 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: guys who are three quarters all stars, Like they're really 599 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: good in three quarters, and then they get to the 600 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and you go, bo, I don't want to 601 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: shoot it. You shoot it. Can't have that. But to 602 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: think this is just let me fix Ben Simmons form 603 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: and it all goes away. That's not the case. You 604 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: see this in all sports. You saw this yesterday at 605 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: the US Open with Bryson Deshambo. He fell apart. He 606 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: fell apart. It happens. Guys get tense. That's where certain 607 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: guys seize the moment. Tiger always was like, oh the 608 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: pressure on, yes, Kurt Schilling, pressures on, yes, they're just 609 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: certain play Jeter, all the pressures on. Yes, like they 610 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: just they absorbed it. They want it, you know, Tom Brady, 611 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: Game on the line. I want it. I'm not gonna fold. 612 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't back down twenty eight three. Come on, let's go. 613 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: You get a touchdown here. Let's put a little pressure. 614 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: That's what you want. Game on the line. Give me 615 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: the ball all make everybody in the building knows I'm 616 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: gonna take this shot. Everybody knew Kevin Durant was going 617 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: to take that shot, which drives me crazy. You didn't 618 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: like it when they just had one guy covering, you know, PJ. Tucker, 619 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: nice job. But I gotta take the ball out of 620 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's hands. If Joe Harris hits the jumper, okay, 621 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: even hardened at that point. I gotta take the ball 622 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: out of his hands, make him pick up his dribble 623 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: sooner than he wants. You had Holiday, who was sort 624 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: of a no man's land. He's like, I should I 625 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: leave my man. Should I come over here and double 626 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: to Oh it's a jumper. I'm going Janie is six ft. 627 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: There's only one guy everybody knew who was getting it. 628 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a pick down low, he's gonna pop up, 629 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: he'll get the ball and then he'll go one on one. 630 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: Make him pass the ball. Even if James Harden takes 631 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: the shot, I don't want Kevin Durant to take the shot. Hey, 632 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: the best guy in the world right now is going 633 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: to get a chance to take a jumper. Tough jumper. No, no, no, 634 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't want him taking any jumper. Best guy on 635 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: the planet had to pass the ball in the final shot. 636 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: You know the bucks are lucky. Take a break.

We're up here a green 698 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: day in the campground, and it was it was really exciting, 699 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: and I thought it was really good.

I 702 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: had Colin Morikawa and brooks Kepka, and I thought Colin 703 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: Morikala was going to slip in and steal it, and 704 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: then I think he had a double Bogeye, brooks Kepka 705 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: is going to look at this and go on, I 706 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: should have won this thing. Plus, I wonder his feeling now, 707 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: he's got to be a little frosty that he didn't win. 708 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: But I wonder what he thought when he saw Bryson 709 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: Deshambo go eight over in the last eight holes. There. 710 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: Did you see where brooks Keepka was doing an interview. 711 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: He's being interviewed and Bryson Deshambo walked by and he 712 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: jumped up like like a fan behind somebody doing a 713 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: live Shoy did it out on Saturday. I went, I 714 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: love it. I thought it was awesome there. Yes, Paul 715 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: Golf Channel is replaying the back nine right now, and 716 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: it's weird when you know something is coming. D Shambo 717 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: is at the tenth tee and his back foot slips. 718 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: It was slick or something, and it's like he just 719 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: never got out of his head. Plus eight on the 720 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: next eight holes and he almost had a hole in one. 721 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, he had the crowd on his side like that. 722 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 1: It felt like he was the crowd favorite. If not Michelson, 723 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: then it was Deshambo. Because you feel like you're seeing something. 724 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: Most golfers all look alike, dress alike, swing alike, and 725 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: then you see this and you know, it just feels 726 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: like the gallery was on his side because they're like 727 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: they're they're able to witness something that you just don't see, 728 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: like long drive contest type stuff.
