Speaker 1: Hey, what up. Welcome in. I'm Doug Godly. You are

00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: listening to all balls, all the hoop all the time.

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Although I will point out now once we get past

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals and sometimes here during the NBA playoffs,

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: we're going to bring you um either fans of basketball,

Speaker 1: basketball players, basketball coaches, basketball guys, ball guys, and sometimes

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: talk about stuff outside of ball, you know, people's life

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: stories and things that are interesting to you. So we

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate you listening to this episode. Please subscribe, download,

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: and uh, by the way, don't be afraid to rate

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: our podcast. Let's dig in with a couple of things

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: going on in the world. First of college basketball. I

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: guess I'm supposed to sit here and tell you all

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: these things about the latest with the FBI investigation and

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: how somehow a couple of schools have been deemed to

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: be victims of what's taken place, the folks that Adidas.

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't honestly know the outcome. I do know that

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: that the timing of it. It's like the the FBI

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: they had, you know, the the arrest were made before

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the season began. Then we had some drip drip of

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: information right before the n C A tournament. Then I

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: was like, am I gonna do anything during the n

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: c A tournament? And now they do it in the spring.

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: And the issue with that is this spring recruiting has

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: become everything in college basketball. Sure, you can sign some

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: guys in the fall, but so many players are waiting

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: to see where their coaches go, assistant coaches go. Who

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: goes to the draft, doesn't go to the draft. It's

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: just fascinating to watch. Fascinating to watch because now of

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, Kansas is somehow and snarled in it, and

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: there's the thought that can they this their kind of

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: dream class that's coming there. I mean, it looks to

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: be good, looks to be an elite type of team

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: with the loss and brothers sitting out. Um even though

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: they've lost you know, Malik Newman early to the NBA Draft,

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: but you know what happens with their current roster, especially

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: when you have a freshman who isn't named but is

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: essentially named as his mom taking money and then you've

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: got incoming players or do they arrive? The thing is

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: kind of craziness. We'll get back to college basketball, but

41
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: the FBI thing is interesting only in that just tell

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: me what the dust settlements. A lot like all these

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: players declaring for the NBA Draft, many of them not

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: signing with an agent, A lot of this becomes nonsensical.

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: You know where you're going, you know you're not gonna

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: get drafted or be a second round draft pick at best.

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: You should go back to school. And yet they're still

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: keeping their name in the draft. But there have been

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: some Trayvon Duval, for example, leaving Dukes signing with an agent,

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: which I don't know. If he would have started with

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Trey Jones, I probably would have liked to see him

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: in the backcourt together. Um, you look at Quinn Cook's

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: evolutions now becoming an NBA player with the Golden State

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: Warris and you're wonder Trayvon d Val granted, completely different player,

55
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: but more time at Duke would he have been more

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: likely to be an NBA draft pick instead. Now he's

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to fight his way to league. If he

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: gets drafted, will be second round. So there's some interesting

59
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: stuff there with the NBA draft. I'll give you my

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: top five for the draft upcoming, and we'll talk about

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: when the dust settles, what the college basketball landscape is

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: gonna look like. But the main focus of all ball

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: this week is the NBA playoffs. And I would love

64
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: to say you can draw on all this information from

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: the NBA's regular season, and that's what the playoffs are

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: going to look like when you which she just loved

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: to say, like, all right, exactly how you That's how

68
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: they do in Major League baseball. Granted, the pressure is

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: ramped up and the importance of every pitch is ramped up.

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: But because baseball the stats are so in depth, so insightful,

71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: and so broken down by not just versus lefty, versus righty,

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: versus each different count. And I'll grant you you put

73
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the pressure of postseason baseball on players and you're not

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: going to get the same resort. You're not gonna get

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. Same average in regular season, same average in postseason.

76
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: But that's generally how we evaluate what a player is

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: going to do. Here's what they did in this situation

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: against this hitter. We kind of and baseball players kind

79
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: of programmed themselves to that. So in many ways, once

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: you get a big enough sample size in baseball, there

81
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: are some outliers, but the regular season guy becomes the

82
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: postseason guy. Um, the NBA is not that way because

83
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: you have heck, you have almost half the teams were

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: tanking this year, even teams that were playoff teams had

85
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: players take substantial time off. You know, James Harden, who

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: was likely to be the NBA's m v P, he

87
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: didn't play ten of the games, So how do you

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: quantify his stats? But like, let's just say, James Harden,

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: how do you quantify his stats versus like Lebron stats?

90
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Lebron didn't practice because they don't practice, but he did

91
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: play every game. So James and stats look better per game,

92
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: but would they have been as good if you played

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: all eighty two? And look, I'm not criticizing James Harden

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: for sitting out because the truth is that everything James

95
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Harden has accomplished to date goes out the window if

96
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: they lose early in the playoffs. It just does we

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: we just say, all right, he's a regular season guy

98
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: before we do. Your legacy is not built upon m vps.

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Your legacy is built upon what you do in the playoffs,

100
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: especially in the NBA. So I'm not criticizing him for

101
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: sitting out ten games. What I am pointing out, though,

102
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: is this is the old pro rated stuff. This is

103
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: the old yea yeah, coach. You know if I played

104
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: thirty five minutes, if I played thirty eight minutes, I

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: would be bench guys say this all the time. Hey,

106
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: if I was I'm playing twenty twenty minutes the game,

107
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: I maveraging eight a game. If you play me thirty minutes,

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I'd be averaging in twelve a game, right, and I

109
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: would be instead of averaging five assists, I'd be averaging

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: almost eight assists. Just pro rate my numbers. The difference

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: is when you're starting, you're playing against better players. You're

112
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: also playing more minutes, so maybe you don't have as

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: much juice in the tank on a nightly basis To

114
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: go out and play at the same level of efficiency,

115
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: playing even longer minutes, but against better players and more

116
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: games and more minutes can in fact where you're down.

117
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: So um. I use the James Harden Lebron James as

118
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the jumping off point for it's really hard for the

119
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: entire league to evaluate who is what. End Um look

120
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: at the Cavaliers, as good a shooting team as they

121
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: can be, they shot the ball terribly in Game one

122
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: of the NBA Playoffs. Lebron James having as a jump

123
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: shooters best jump shooting season as a pro. He's oh

124
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,119
Speaker 1: of ten outside the painting game one. So it's really

125
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: hard to correlate regular season stats to postseason stats. The

126
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: game is, though not as physical as it used to be,

127
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: is far more physical, far more physical than in his

128
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: regular season. The rotations are generally tighter, and the importance

129
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: of the session is ramped up. Case in point, the

130
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers. I'm recording this podcast on this Tuesday afternoon.

131
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: On Monday evening, the seventies Sixers were down twenty, got

132
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: it to within four and took bad shot after bad shot,

133
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: turned the ball over, don't box out, and the attention

134
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: to detail is lacking. Brett Brown, head coach of the

135
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: seventies sixers, is going to join us. We'll share that

136
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: with you here on All Ball later on the podcast.

137
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: So it's really hard to correlate regular season the post season.

138
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: And the San Antonio Spurs are probably the best example

139
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: of that. You watched you watched them, and granted playing

140
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: with that quiet Leonard, but here's the team won forty

141
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: seven games. You're like, man, that is there's not a

142
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: lot of talent out there like Tony Parker had his

143
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: by his worst season in the last since his rookie year.

144
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: Man who's forty years old, and those sprightful for forty

145
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: years old. He's still four years old. The Marcus Aldrich

146
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: has been reinvigorated this year, but he's still kind of

147
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: a mid range to low post sort of player. He's

148
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: almost a dinosaur considering how how most teams play do

149
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: jon Ty Murray doesn't shoot it well enough. Isn't there yet?

150
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I think eventually he'll be there. And this is the

151
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: first team playing without Gid learned their best player. So, um,

152
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: how did they win forty seven in the regular season

153
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: and right now they're owing two in the postseason one?

154
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: They're playing against a higher level of team and postseason

155
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: is just different, just different. We saw Clay Thompson and

156
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: he's been hot from three going up against going up

157
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: against the Spurs, and they just have too many weapons.

158
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: And yet this is not a super talented Golden State team.

159
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: It's not a team that stretches the floor nearly as

160
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: well as you think they do. They don't throw a

161
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: weapon after weapon after weapon. If you don't have Steph Curry,

162
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: now you have Quinn Cook or Andrey Godala that or

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: John Livingston. That shrinks the court a great deal. That

164
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: puts another guy in the lap. You're playing Javal McGee.

165
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: That's another guy in the lane that you don't have

166
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: to guard outside the perimeter. Even Draymond Greene, who will

167
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: occasionally knock in some threes only of the year. You

168
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: can shrink the court. So the court is much much

169
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: more condensed than it usually is with Golden State, not

170
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: just because step is awesome, but also Steph just demands

171
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: so much attention. He spaces the floor for others. It's

172
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: part of the makeup of this team and how it's

173
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: perfectly constructed when it's all together, but it's so imperfectly

174
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: constructed when it's not makes his return even more interesting. Um,

175
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that Brad Stevens is a witch. There's no

176
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: other reason for him to be able to win games.

177
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: You know, when they don't have right Way, you don't

178
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: have Kyrie, you don't have Gordon Hayward, you don't have

179
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart and you beat the Milwaukee Bucks Like that

180
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense, but um, they play really hard,

181
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: they space you out, and you know the ending sequence

182
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: of regulation was remarkable. Do I think that dog will

183
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: hunt long term? Now? Now, I really don't um That

184
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: series feels like Janice all though he can be honest,

185
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: at some point he's gonna have to be able to

186
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: make a jump shot, although he keeps getting to the rim,

187
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: and there's some weird stuff going on with Pronti's rotations

188
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: which are kind of hard to figure out. But it

189
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: feels like this is one of those series to which

190
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: Boston has no right to win, and yet they might

191
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: win it anyway, regardless of which. If I'm the seventies

192
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: Sixers and I can figure out how to take down

193
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade in the Miami Heat, I feel really good

194
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: about matching up with either of those teams heading forward,

195
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: especially considering to this point I've done it without Joel

196
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: and beat. As for the seventy Sixers, yes, they need embiad,

197
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: but also they need to grow up a little bit

198
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: between taking bad shots, between turning the basketball over. Ben

199
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: Simmons is show no desire to take jump shots, which

200
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: is smart because he's not a good jump shooter. But like, look,

201
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: they are giving you ten footers, they are giving you

202
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: fifteen footers. He can make those it's a weird thing

203
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: that he does to which he just won't even look

204
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: at it. I mean look at it all. Janice takes

205
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: something that he can't make, but at least he steps

206
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: into it to try, and if he makes one, you

207
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: feel like you've got to play him a little bit more. Honestly,

208
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: if I'm the seventy six ers, do I do I

209
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: relent and put him beat in. Look, it's his I

210
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: you know if he's if he's wearing a mask and

211
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: the doctors tell you he's going to be fine. The

212
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: the Iye issue with Mbaid reminds me a lot of

213
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: how we handle concussions in the NBA concussions and soccer.

214
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: I understand that we don't want our kids, we don't

215
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: want our athletes to be living um with concussions and

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: be dealing with continuous concussions, but we're this is kind

217
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: of our knee jerk crazy reaction to the NFL world. Look,

218
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: the NFL has guys who are suffering from CTE, memory loss,

219
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: brain damage from tends to hundreds to maybe even more

220
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: concussions during their life climate and playing football. They're killing

221
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: themselves or feel like they're dying from within or they

222
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: suffer things like a LS that many people thought are

223
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: triggered by ct by by continuous blows to the head.

224
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: There aren't basketball players walking the earth that have memory

225
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: loss problems because they suffered a concussion while playing in

226
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: college or the pros. It doesn't exist. And so though

227
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: we want to be extra vigilant and not let players

228
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: come back early from concussions, sometimes we're doctors are overdoing it. Right.

229
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: It's like, if you sprain your ankle, your doctor will

230
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: be like, hey, don't do anything for a month. If

231
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: a basketball players sprains are ankle, they were like, look,

232
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: I'll take a couple of days off, I'll i will

233
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: stimm it, I'll be back. I'll start rehabbing in a

234
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: couple of days, depending on obviously the severity of the sprain.

235
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: We're holding that kind of same knee jerk extra sensitivity

236
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: of average guy or over almost football guy to basketball

237
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: players and concussions or basketball players with injury. I don't

238
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: think Joel Embiid should have spoken out, should have instagrammed

239
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: out that he's being babied, But I do understand that, Look,

240
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: if he's find a place, find a play the likelihod

241
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: he gets hit in the eye and Bree breaks his

242
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: faces very slight. Russell Westbrook did play with the broken

243
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: face and did play with that mask and seemed to

244
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: be fine, you know. And there's a guy that plays harder,

245
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: jumps into contact more than anybody have seen the East.

246
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: I look at it as this. I think Toronto wins.

247
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what happens with Cleveland. We'll break it

248
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: down for you upcoming. Um I'm kind of neutral as

249
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: to what happens with Boston. I think Boston is the

250
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: inferior talented team, but they do feel like a team

251
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: that will find a way to win, whereas Milwaukee will

252
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: find a way to lose it. And I do think

253
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: ultimately the Sixers win. My issue is that what I

254
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,479
Speaker 1: thought about the kas maybe this is some confirmation bias.

255
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought eventually they'll probably find their way through the East.

256
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: But there's a good chance they'll be just broken down

257
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: by and and battered by a elongated series with the Pacers,

258
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: an elongated series with the Raptors, an elongate series with

259
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: maybe the seventies six Ers or maybe the Heat or

260
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: whoever they play, and one there's a likelihood for an upset.

261
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: There's a likelihood for an injury with some of their

262
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: older parts. But more than anything, it beats them up

263
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: to when they play the Warriors or play the Rockets

264
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: in the finals, they won't have the best version of themselves.

265
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Whereas last year was they had a great optuny. Last

266
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: year they played thirteen games their fresh as a daisy rest.

267
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: They just weren't good enough. They just didn't match up well. So,

268
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: in addition to the fact that they have there's no

269
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: perfect lineup for the Calves. Their best offensive lineup is

270
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: a terrible defensive lineup. Their best defensive lineup is a

271
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: bad offensive lineup. In addition to that, they're very likely

272
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: to play a bunch of three long series before they

273
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: even get to the Rockets or get to the Warriors,

274
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: which greatly decreases their ability to win in the playoffs

275
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: to begin with. Then you go to the West and

276
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: this is what I said about the Thunder to start

277
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: the year. They remind me of Kevin Durant's last Thunder team,

278
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: where there's kind of a mismatched pieces of parts. But

279
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: they do have some very very talented scores. Two a half.

280
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: In fact, Man mentioned Mellow he used to be the

281
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: best score in the league, but he's a shell of

282
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: himself now. He used to catch and shoot jump shooter.

283
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Remember that was the team that was up three games

284
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: and one of the Warriors. And that's what this team

285
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: feels like. That looks You get to the playoffs and

286
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: you've gotta have some vets that can make shots. They

287
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: have two. I know that Paul George didn't make big

288
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: shots last year with the Pacers. So far he's made

289
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: him with the Thunder. But you got Paul George, you

290
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: got Russell Westbrook, You've got Carmelo Anthony. You know, you

291
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: got a bunch of time off in between games. You

292
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: got Steven Adams. Like I think they're gonna be a

293
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: bit for the for the Rockets to beat Um. And

294
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: I think I think that the Jazz are much like

295
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs, ridiculously well coached and surprising how

296
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: good they are. But what you do in the regular

297
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: season and once you get to the post, you need vets,

298
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: you need better players, and they just don't have the

299
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy's and the Joe's to match up with the Thunder.

300
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: So I think you got Thunder and Rockets. And one

301
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: of the issues with the Rockets is that Carl Town's

302
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: either doesn't want the ball enough or they don't want

303
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: him to get him the ball enough. But I do

304
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: think that the Timberwolves can stretch out the Rockets, can

305
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: force it to a fifth game, to a sixth game,

306
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: can wear them down to which it wouldn't stop me

307
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: at all if the Thunder were able to beat the Rockets.

308
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: I know that sounds crazy, but look, you have Russell Westbrook,

309
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: who um who can guard James Harden. You know you

310
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: have to have somebody who commands the respect of the

311
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: league in order to guard whether James Harden or or

312
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, especially James Harden. Now, look, the Thunder are

313
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: not as good defensive without on Jay Robertson, I don't think,

314
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: and he would do a great job on James Harden,

315
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the respect of a Russell. He

316
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have a respect of a Paul George, so that

317
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: James Harden when he drives, he won't get the calls

318
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: that he gets in the regular season. But again, my

319
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: fear for the Rockets as much like my fear for

320
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: the Calves, I think, right out right now, you just

321
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: played rested seven game series against the Warriors staff not

322
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: fully back from injury. There's no reason to believe that

323
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't. They couldn't win four other seven. I believe

324
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: it could happen, but I think that the road that

325
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: they're on, the Warriors getting the Spurs without Kauai, that

326
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: feels like a sweep. That feels like, you know, giving

327
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: them a chance to get fresh, rested, get step back.

328
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: You look at who they'll match up with in the

329
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: second round, as opposed to the Rockets matching up with

330
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: the Thunder. I think this thing opens wide open for

331
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: the Warriors to get back to be fully healthy. Whomever

332
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: they play in that second series. Feel really really good

333
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: about slowly integrating Steph Curry from an injury that he

334
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: suffered two years ago. And he knows how to kind

335
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: of measure how much how many minutes he plays. And

336
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: you still have Kevin Durant, Clay Thompson, and though the

337
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: pieces aren't great, they're a lot better when they're only

338
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: playing four game series is opposed to six or seven

339
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: game series. All right, let's check in with a guy.

340
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: If you don't follow him on Twitter, then I feel

341
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: like you don't watch the NBA. Uh. He's coach Nick,

342
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: and he's got a super popular site and Twitter handle.

343
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: At the Ball Breakdown of course does NBA analysis. You

344
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: can see the deos. It's almost live, it's almost like

345
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: play happens. Go to his Twitter feed and you can

346
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: see kind of his breakdown of how he sees what

347
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: happened and why it happened, coaching his own right, and

348
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: of course provides live in game video analysis. Again. At

349
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: b Ball Breakdown has his own podcast that I've been on.

350
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: Uh you should download it as well. He joins us

351
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: here on the All Ball Podcast. Uh so, Nick, we're

352
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: a couple of games into the playoffs, let's start with again.

353
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: This is being recorded as of Tuesday, midday l A

354
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Time afternoon East Coast time, and you're gonna get a

355
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: chance to hear Brett Brown, seventy sixers head coach. A

356
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the pod. Um, let me

357
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: ask you about Dwyane Wade. I said this on TV

358
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: about Dwayne Wade. He's um, he's he's like Derek Jeter,

359
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: where like I don't think Derek Jeter is one of

360
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: the top ten top fifteen baseball players of all time.

361
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: But Derek Jeter hit what he had five hits. Uh,

362
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: he had five hits in his last game as a Yankee. Um,

363
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: he had a home run or his three thousand hit.

364
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: He's he has the ability to dial it up in

365
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: big instances. He's not a Dwyane Wade statistically is not

366
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: a very good shooter. But you know what, I ain't

367
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: given Dwyane Wade an open shot in a big game. Um,

368
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: what do you account for Dwyane Wade. Dwyane wade resurgence,

369
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: especially in Game two last night against six Ers. Well,

370
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because I think this is the

371
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: nature of the age that he's at, is that you know,

372
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: he has the ability from time to time to call

373
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: up this you know, uh, this ability that he used

374
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: to have when he's back when he was flash. I

375
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: don't expect it to happen that often or that consistently.

376
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's hard to know exactly. I'm not even

377
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: sure he knew they asked at the end of the game.

378
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, what was that all about? Like

379
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: what diould be for breakfast or something? Uh? And I

380
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: think that, you know, there was a moment where he

381
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: knows that goes down to nothing on the road. That's it.

382
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: The gate A series is over and there's there's probably

383
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: some sort of romantic nose and of this could be

384
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: hit for him completely. So uh, he wasn't you know

385
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: there there was you know, you know how it is.

386
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: We're at up an age where every once in a

387
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: while we need to call upon it, you know, if

388
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: you're trying to save your kids and you have that

389
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: superhuman strength. Uh, they as a parents, they you know,

390
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: that's sort of what Dwayne Wade seemed to have done.

391
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: They're playing him well in a way that they're giving

392
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: him extra rest is coming off the bench, so it's

393
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: not going to be completely exhausted, but I'll be Frank.

394
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing a video on it right now for my

395
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, and uh there's plenty of close ups of

396
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: him huffing and puffing, you know, and and looking a

397
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: bit tired than Win did in the earlier in the game. Yeah. No,

398
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: there's no question he can dig deep. But the ability

399
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: to it's if you remember when when Dayne Wade won

400
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: an NBA Championship with Shack. Shack only played well one

401
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: of those games, right, And I mean there's just one

402
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: game which he could and that's what older players can't do.

403
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: It's the I like it to. There's a Toby Keith

404
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: song and as good as I once was, but I'm

405
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: as good once as I ever was right one one time.

406
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: It's vintage Wade Um. I I learned more about the

407
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: Sixers there, and I know that they don't have him

408
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: being that change things dramatically, But it does feel like, uh,

409
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: the continuing daring Simmons to shoot and the fact that

410
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: you know in order for them to come back, they

411
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: had to put their shooters out on the floor. But

412
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: they just they don't value possessions well enough. They don't

413
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: necessarily take unless unless Ben Simmons creates a great shot

414
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: for him. A lot of times they're taking contested chuck

415
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: up threes, if you will. And they have a little

416
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: bit of the Calves problem, which is their best defensive

417
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: lineup isn't their best offensive lineup. They can't play their

418
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: best players. There's a bit of a mismatch with it.

419
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Sixers now that we've

420
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: seen them in two playoff games? Well, what you said,

421
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: it was perfect And I think when I was watching

422
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: the game live, I was sort of tweeting out saying,

423
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: this is the future. Of basketball is what modern NBA

424
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: will look like being five or six years where for

425
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: the first like six seven minutes of the game, you

426
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: didn't see one triple threat. There was not one time.

427
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: I only think either team caught the ball like ripped

428
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: through held it for a second. Everything was attack off

429
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: the catch. It was busying how bad it was going.

430
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: The shots were you know, crazy some of them. And

431
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: you know, I had tweated by the end of the

432
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: game that Bill and Knowing must have been drunk because

433
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: of the things he was going up. So this is

434
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: the problem where we're seeing, you know, the fits and

435
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: starts of what the game is moving towards, especially about

436
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: EmpId and um. They haven't quite learned how to sort

437
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: of handle that speed because down the stretch when they

438
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: needed really good shots, their offense is predicated on the

439
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: reading react involved moving and you know, looking for that

440
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: first quick shot, open shot, and so you can see

441
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: that the final I don't know, I have to look

442
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: at this two more times, but I bet to the

443
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: last like ten shots in the game, we're just terrible shots.

444
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: Horrible freeze is fine up fellodelly, the whole thing. And

445
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: that's the problem with the young team they haven't learned.

446
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if Grett Brown had the experience either

447
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: to to handle that. Where they need to be calling

448
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: sets out the stretch right. He needs to be saying

449
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna run this set, We're we're gonna get a

450
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: shot for him here, and and then letting Simmons get

451
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: attacking in the right positions. Otherwise, if it's gonna be

452
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: free form, read and react, then they're gonna struggle, probably

453
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily as much in this series. I think they're

454
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: still gonnable to win this series, but you know, once

455
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: they get out of the first round, then they're gonna

456
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: need to figure out how to you know, generate better shots.

457
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: And the course Mr Ebide comes back, and that does

458
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: change a big a lot of the dynamics. Yeah, although

459
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: I will point out that in bid with his lack

460
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: of postseason experience, uh college or pro, he's the kind

461
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: of guy who, you know, it could be a two

462
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: point game and he he can hunt the three just

463
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: like anybody else. Like no, dude, like look, we get

464
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of minutes of a fourth quarter playoff game,

465
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: we want you down at the block making plays. Uh,

466
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: So you know his his understanding of time, score, possession.

467
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: I think will mirror what we've seen from the seventy sixers,

468
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: which is that's just they're playing the same way they

469
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: play in the regular season, same way they played first

470
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: three quarters. That's that's not how it works in the postseason.

471
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of young big guys, Um, Carl Towns didn't get

472
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: a lot of touches in Game one for the Minnesota Timberwolves,

473
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: and I think there's there's there's two sides to it.

474
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: One he's got to demand the ball, maybe three sides

475
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: to one. He's got demand the ball to Timms, has

476
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: gotta run stuff for him. Although Tims's offensive acumen his

477
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: defense cannot be questioned, their intensity, um cannot be questioned.

478
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: In terms of player I felt like they did a

479
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: good They did a really good job and trying to

480
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: execute some of their game plan defensively but offensively. Out

481
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: there's some ugly possessions. But then there's also this, Hey

482
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: are is Jimmy Butler gonna throw it to Carl Towns,

483
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: as Andrew Wiggins gonna throw it to Carl Towns? Even

484
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: Gorgy Georgy Dang, is he gonna throw it to Carl Towns? Um,

485
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: what do you think of, like, how do you get

486
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: Carl Town's the ball, Karl Anthony Towns the ball against

487
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: the Rockets, Right, it's a conundrum because he's not the

488
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: guys to bring the ball up, and he's not like

489
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: the perimeter guy who they're going to kind of throw

490
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: it to either, So he needs to have those guys

491
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: steve him the ball. I don't know, uh, offensively, like

492
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: you said, just how fluid that what what Tipps is

493
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: doing is really you know how that really works? Because yes,

494
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: but there were times, by the way where we did

495
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: see with Charnathon Towns, like they were being ultra physical

496
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: whenever they could with them any chance to get their

497
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: hands on him, and he's just not a physical player,

498
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: and he would shy away from it. And I saw

499
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: a couple of possessions where he would swar him in

500
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: the way and then you have sort of like your

501
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: reasons sort of man handling him and then he kind

502
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: of just slots to the corner and just sort of

503
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: stands there get a chance to get offensive rebound or

504
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: tip when he just didn't go. So he you know,

505
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: it's clearly reeling from the effects of like what the

506
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: postseason is having not experienced it before, and just how

507
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: intense and how physical it is. You know, you've got

508
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: guys like t J. Tucker out there who you know,

509
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: have this is their chance to really, you know, maybe

510
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe win a title. Right, this guy is gonna be

511
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: relentless and anywhere you can to get it. So, uh,

512
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: I think Towns is gonna have to learn how to

513
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: handle that better. He's already got his footwork issues and

514
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: that in terms of mechanically, I feel like his knees

515
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and his ankles in the way they moved together, it's

516
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: so um. You know, he needs to fix that if

517
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: he wants to become and take the next step. And

518
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: so as a result, like, yeah, he'll be off balance

519
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: and he's going to be pushed around. And you know,

520
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure kids can say in the in the huddles,

521
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: in the in the practice today before they're preparing, Hey,

522
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: we had to find him and they were trying to

523
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: find him a little bit. They were setting screening roles

524
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: and he was getting a switch. But then you have to, Yeah,

525
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: you have to rely on Wiggins or Um or Butler

526
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: to like recognize it quickly and get it to him

527
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: before he is either pushed out or fades away. Look,

528
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: I might want to be one more point about the

529
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: whole thing, though, is I'm a little bit concerned that

530
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Piague is the thing that ultimately holds

531
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: them back. I think he had a decent box score game,

532
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: but there's so many little things he does wrong that

533
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: are so averaged from below average that I think he's

534
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: going to be the guy. And he's sort of has

535
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: done that wherever he's been. It kind of just keeps

536
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: the team at a very meth level and you're not

537
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna rise above with him. He's gonna be okay. But

538
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the real key. Yeah, I mean, well,

539
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: the the other part to Jeff Tigue is you you

540
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: struggle small guards, you struggle with switches not switching, and boy,

541
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: you've really got to make up for your lack of size.

542
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 1: Not that not that they're gonna post you, but in

543
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: terms of on the offensive boards, how you play, they

544
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: they they kind of switched and and they're they're giving

545
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: up that mid range pull up to James Harden, who

546
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: really manipulates the ball screen well and then just kind

547
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: of all right, you're gonna switch and wait for me

548
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: in the paint and I'm gonna step back and shoot

549
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: that half travel half step back jump shot. Um, I guess,

550
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: I guess. Here's my question. I feel like, look, I

551
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: think the Rockets are gonna beat the Temples, but I

552
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: do think the Temples can push them, maybe win a

553
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: game or two. I think that the thunder Can. I

554
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: think the thunder Can can win a couple of games.

555
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: They might even able to beat the Rockets. And I

556
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: just I look at the Warriors and we all thought

557
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: end of the season, that's not a great team. They're

558
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: not sharp. I even watched some of their lineups last night.

559
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: It's not nearly as good as as the Warriors of old.

560
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: But I like how few of games they'll have to

561
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: play before they get to the Rockets, as opposed to

562
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: what the Rockets would have to go through the same

563
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: for the Calves. Like, even if the Camps do get

564
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: to an NBA Finals, I feel like they're gonna have

565
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: to go through five, six, seven game series to get there.

566
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh well, without a question, I mean, this Pacers series

567
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: in theory is gonna go seven. You know, if they're

568
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna win it, they're already down one nothing and the

569
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: road team, you know when they when they take the

570
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: first game, becomes a favorite in the series. So, you know,

571
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: and and a lot of their issues. And I got

572
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: put back to forth on Twitter with my buddy Mike

573
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: Zavano about this. But you know, they're the game was

574
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: over in the first quarter once they went down by twenty. Uh,

575
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: you know, all the energy they extended to make it

576
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: closer later just was too little, too late. And it

577
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: was their defense with Kevin Love, which is kind of

578
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: mirroring what's going on with karnal A Towns because a

579
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: team like the Rockets, they were lentless and kicking out

580
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: the one person they're gonna want to attack, and they

581
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: were bringing carl Anton Towns up in the pick and roll,

582
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: and you know, he had a little little a couple

583
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: of possessions where he's able to kind of pressure and

584
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: maybe they make hard to miss a shot or two,

585
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: but Harden was getting lay ups. They were getting open

586
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: shots from that. So uh, that's the other issue that

587
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: Towns was gonna have to figure out independ to the offense,

588
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: is that he's going to have to get better defensively,

589
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: and it's just not gonna happen. Now. I don't know

590
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: kids is ever going to get him motivated because of

591
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: his style. Just might not ever really work with a

592
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: guy like comments the town and uh, and then you

593
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: know with Cleveland, you know, we can't talk about Cleveland.

594
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: We can't talk about Okay, see get into the next round.

595
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I still think that the Jazz have a

596
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: really good shot at eating them there too, So you

597
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be fascinating playoff series. As we get

598
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: closer to the end of the first round, it is

599
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: let's let's let's get to the let's get to Cleveland. Um,

600
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: here's always been my thing. You have Kevin, you need

601
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Love for offense, but it's really hard to hide

602
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Love for defense. And it's hard to hide him

603
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: for for two different factors. If you play him at center, well,

604
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: now Lebron becomes your rim protector, you don't really want that.

605
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: If you play him at power for and well, now

606
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: Lebron has to cover a three. And then whoever you

607
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: play at five, if whether it's Larry Nance and going

608
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: small or Tristan Thompson, who I know it's not as

609
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: not bigger than Mary Nance, but does he is more

610
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: of a true rim protecting big even though he's only

611
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: about six ft eight, But you know, neither of those

612
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: guys stretched the floor, so they shrink the floor with

613
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Lebron trying to play in and out that post, like,

614
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: I think they got a bunch of mismassed pieces. H

615
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Tyler said, we didn't get a chance to play our

616
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: five best players. What what is the best line up

617
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: for them to win this series? Oh jeez, well, I

618
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: mean I I ripped Kevin Loves to no land on

619
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: the defense event, and so what I've said is is

620
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: he's not scoring twenty five points in the game, that

621
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: he's a liability. You have to cut his minutes. But again,

622
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: you look down that roster, you know, Rodney Hood is

623
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: not doing what I've been hoping he's been doing since

624
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, the last couple of years. He's just not

625
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen, I don't think in Cleveland. And so now

626
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: you got to figure out, yea, what is that lineup?

627
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I know. I would. I sort of

628
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: imagine that Tristan Thounson playing and playing more would probably

629
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: have to be part of their solution. I feel like

630
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: at some point earlier this year, when like he hadn't

631
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: been playing a lot and it kind of stuck him

632
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: in there and they started doing better again. It was like, yeah,

633
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: you remember when he was active on defense and he

634
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: was getting tips tippins, like that's what they need. They

635
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: don't get as much. But Lebron is never going to

636
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: be a rain protector. As far as I could tell,

637
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: he's just that switches off. He doesn't seem to want

638
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: to rotate, he doesn't want to move. And I gotta

639
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: tell you in the in the first quarter, he was

640
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: so unaggressive. He didn't take a shot until like a

641
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: minute left in the first quarter. They played in the

642
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: entire first man in a couple of minutes in the second.

643
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: He was exhausted by that point. He can't getting down

644
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: so much. So, uh, Lebron's got to figure out how

645
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: to be, you know, aggressive and still facilitate because it's

646
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: either for him, it's like I'm going home, I'm gonna

647
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: get mine, or I'm just gonna sit in the corner

648
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: like I have a shot. In the breakdown on my

649
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: video on YouTube, where like literally he looked like four

650
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: on five. He was so deep into the corner, standing

651
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: there for ten seconds. I couldn't even see him. He

652
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: blended in with the bench, So he's got to stop

653
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: doing that and figure out where he can move and

654
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: to get moving or moving movement. Otherwise, the Pacers were

655
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: pushing up on them, tremendous pressure. That's stagging off in

656
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: that's already sagging anyway. Let them wall up on Lebron

657
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: and that's why they you know, they were really struggling

658
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: to get good shots. And then the pacers you mentioned

659
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: their aggressives offensively, it points out that the need for

660
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: a Kyrie irving, right, the need for somebody who can

661
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: break down the defense, which is which I guess becomes

662
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Clarkston. But he's not a good defender. Uh, he's

663
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: an up and down shooter, and he's not somebody who

664
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: creates shots for others, right, Like, he's a come off

665
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: the bench score and anytime he's had to play starters

666
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: minutes against starting caliber players, he's gotten exposed as being

667
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: much better off the bench. Is that the tweak the

668
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: Tyrann Lou makes playing Jordan Clarkston war Yeah, I mean, yeah,

669
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: I suppose. I mean, in my mind, at least with

670
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: the starters, the solution to comabating mayor aggressiveness is you

671
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: got to move the ball. Right, you gotta get some

672
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: side to side action. You don't. That's just not what

673
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: they do. And especially if you don't have a Kyrie

674
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: irving On in the starting lineup like that, you can't

675
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: conjure him out of them. Mariage definitely not Clarkson. Clarkson's

676
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: a guy, you know, he's good off the bench, give minutes,

677
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: still get you your twelve points and whatever. But uh,

678
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: you know they don't have that. And Lebron seems to

679
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: be unwilling or lou whoever is in you know, is

680
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: controlling that team. Uh you know they're they're They're like,

681
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to back down. I'm going to swing to

682
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: slow this down. I was gonna try and precision, you know,

683
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: attack the misnatches we want. But but man, it wasn't.

684
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty offensively at all for them. And uh,

685
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: unless say, yeah, let's they get more bald movement, more

686
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: player movement, more off off ball screens without those kind

687
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: of things that will combat a pressure defense. These young

688
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: Indiana that they're not intimidated. The other that's the other things.

689
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: They're not intimidated. They are getting up in their grill.

690
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: They are attacking on with depot looks like, you know, uh,

691
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: at all Star. I mean he was an All Star

692
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: this year. He was an All Star, wasn't I think so?

693
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: But either way, he looks like, you know, the premier

694
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: guard in the Eastern Conference and uh, just isolating back

695
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: he packed up on Lebron. It just took a running

696
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: start and pulled up into and the hit a three

697
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: into space. It's like it doesn't happen. I'm not sure

698
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: we are about the outcome. But what the Celtics. The

699
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: Celtics simply even being competitive with the Bucks considering their

700
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: roster right now, like do we do we build the statue?

701
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens hadn't really won anything yet in the NBA,

702
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: and yet I think he's one all of our heart

703
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: said minds fair, fair. I mean he's had my mind

704
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: for in my heard for a long time. And I

705
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: think it's mostly because, by the way, if you want

706
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: to compare like him versus like Tips, right, tis is

707
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: a yeller. You know, I'm sure you've had coaches like

708
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: that at different levels that are just got hit in

709
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: your face. Is forcing you to be intense. You know,

710
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens doesn't have to do that, and you can't

711
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: say that those teams don't play hard. His Celtics teams

712
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: are all over the place. Uh, And I think it's

713
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: that positive frame of mind that they playing in, that

714
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: confidence that have doing that they're prepared. Uh. It really

715
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: goes a long long way against even the team like

716
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: Milwaukee has had tumultuous you know. Uh, but you know,

717
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: the the dad left them in the middle of the

718
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: year and now they have the stepdad, and uh, you know,

719
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: it's clear that they're not quite all on the same

720
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: no question. Um, so do you think the Calves get

721
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: beat in this series against the Pacers? You know, I

722
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: love the underdog. I gotta admit it. That's why people

723
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: think I'm a hater on lebron on on on Twitter,

724
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: just because I don't know. I actually enjoy watching like

725
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: Oldebo go at him at school and have success because

726
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: you've been the best for so long. So you know,

727
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: I kind of been leaning towards that. I felt like

728
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: all year long they were in danger of that certainly

729
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: not making a very deep playoff run. So that's the

730
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: question here is when does that that playoff run end?

731
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: You know, they they the Pacers now have home court advantage. Um,

732
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: they did play over their head and they and they

733
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 1: hit shots they probably won't hit again in game two.

734
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: So you know, watch the Calves will win by fifteen

735
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: in game two and everything will be right again. Um,

736
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to look at that game three. I

737
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: think the game three becomes during Pivotal in Indiana. So, UM,

738
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I give the I give the Pacers

739
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty chance chance to win this both series. Um,

740
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: are you up or down on the Thunder after you've

741
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: seen them one game in the playoffs? Yeah? Now that

742
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: the other the person who I get yelled at all

743
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: the time. But I'm with Russell Westbrook, who drives me

744
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: insane the way he plays frustratingly insane. Um, they looked

745
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: really good and uh, if the question is is like

746
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: is you know they almost It was a close game,

747
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: but Jazz kept it close and you know had a

748
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: couple of shots here there that would have changed the complexion. Um,

749
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: they probably couldn't game plan for Paul George detonating from

750
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: three point land like he did, and he hit shots

751
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: that were like the guy was unconscious. So, um, I

752
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a seven game series. I had

753
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: picked the Jazz anyway, I just think that their defense

754
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: is so good, um that that I just feel like

755
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: they have enough components to kind of contain and shut them,

756
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: shut the thunder down. So I'm anticipating the Jazz winning it. Um,

757
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: you know, probably will. It will take seven games, and

758
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: it also means that it would be on the road

759
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: in theory. But then again, in the more recent past,

760
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: my mind, it feels like only me that uh there's

761
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: been there have been a few more road seven game wins,

762
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: uh seven game wins than than in the past. Whereas

763
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: back in the day, the home team is gonna win

764
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: the time. All right, I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna

765
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: take the thunder Um. I just I do. I do. Look,

766
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: their defense is really good in the regular season, but

767
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: now your best players got a foot issue. I you know,

768
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: I struggled to buy into Rubio in the playoffs. I'm

769
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: with you on Russell Westbrook. I think a lot of

770
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: his flaws. People can't overlook the box score he fills up.

771
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: That he fills up the statuet like no other. But

772
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: I but I do think, like, look, Paul Jerry, there's

773
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a game in which Carmelo goes crazy. There

774
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: will be in which he hits a bunch of shots,

775
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: and I don't even know if it goes seven. I

776
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: think that Quinn Sneider has coached his way, uh coach

777
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: this team into this position, and we'll coach this team

778
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: into a position to to win some of these games.

779
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna win a couple, especially at home, but I

780
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they win this series. All right,

781
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: Coach Nick, we really appreciate you join us. Think you

782
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: do a great job on Twitter, on your YouTube channel

783
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: of course, download his podcast as well. Appreciate you join

784
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: us in the All Ball podcast. All right, So I

785
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: told you I tell you this story here real quick. Um,

786
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: I played at Oakland State. At some point in an

787
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: upcoming podcast, i'll tell you kind of the whole story

788
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: of my first year. Big big for a good pot.

789
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: But oftentimes you hear college players or fans of college players,

790
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: or dad's like, oh well, just go play overseas, just

791
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: go play in Europe because that's where all the money is.

792
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: And I remember it was January of two thousand one

793
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: and I went to Russia. And I went there actually

794
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: on a ten day tryout. And when I got to

795
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: perm Russia. I was playing in Salina, Kansas, and the

796
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: I b a I got a PERM Russia. It paid me,

797
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna say, twenty grand cash to get on

798
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: a plan, fly over and basically work out with the team,

799
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: play one game with the team. And we'd already kind

800
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: of agreed to terms of what the contract would look

801
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: like if they liked me. And I was like a

802
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: test driver for car. So you fly overnight. And again,

803
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: this is a much more intricate story than I think

804
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: you want to have time for. But I remember the

805
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: first morning I got up and I knew I had training,

806
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: and I went to the gym and they have a

807
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: practice gym, which I don't know if every team and

808
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand one had one in Russia at the time.

809
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: But I go up to the practice gym and uh,

810
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: they tell me I can lift weights for an hour

811
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: and there's no real nobody looking over your shoulder. Remember

812
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: you come from college lifting program, and I'd had a

813
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: strength coach since I was like thirteen or fourteen years old,

814
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: and now they're like, you go lift, you have one hour.

815
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's like closed the door and you're like

816
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: in a cell. Yeah, And so I lifted, I worked out,

817
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: and then they're like, okay, now we go we shoot.

818
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: And I walked there and um, the coach had a

819
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: stop watch and a basketball and he throws me in

820
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: the basketball and he goes one minute three pointers, all right,

821
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: and there's nobody standing un at the hoop to rebound

822
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: for me. And so I shoot, I go get my

823
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: ball and I was like, no, no, we time you.

824
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: How many you make in one minute? And so that

825
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: was it was like one of my first first drills

826
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: playing overseas, which is, you know, consecutively shoot for a minute,

827
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: rest for a minute, shoot for a minute, rest for

828
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: a minute, see how many you can make. Shoot for

829
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: two minutes, rest for two minutes. It was exhausting and

830
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: rebounding yourself. Whereas in the States a lot of times

831
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: do you always have a guy, You always have a

832
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: manager or a coach, somebody rebounding you, feeding you. It's

833
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: completely different. You know, we only want you to drill

834
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: back with your left hand, only want you to drove

835
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: back with your right hand. You know, you come back,

836
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: you shoot at three, and then we want you to

837
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: go and and hesitate, crossover, you to pull up jump shots,

838
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: all getting your own rebound, all timing it out and

839
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: you're just gassed. Then you go home, you get somebody,

840
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: You come back and you have practice with the team

841
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: for two hours. Eventually the whole team came back from

842
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: a road game, and we lift every morning and then

843
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: we do shooting drills for an hour, and then we

844
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: practiced for two hours at night. And then you have games,

845
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: and on supposedly off days, you'd probably come in and

846
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: do the exact same morning workout, only you lift and

847
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: then you shoot, and then you end up playing like

848
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: pick up basketball, because I played with Lithuanian guys were crazy.

849
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: The point of it is, you're at the gym a

850
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: good four or five hours a day, and while you

851
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: really get you really refine your skill, you get to

852
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: where you can make shots. And I've never seen guys

853
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: shoot with the type of efficiency you see when you're

854
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: playing professional basketball. Supposed to collegiate basketball, especially foreign players,

855
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: the ones that lack athletics and make it all really shoot.

856
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: But anyone who thinks like you just go over there

857
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get some shots at you're gonna practice

858
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,479
Speaker 1: some and you show up in games and you'll play

859
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: like I've practiced every day day of game. We practiced

860
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: twice a day on non game days. Every day I

861
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: ever played overseas, except when there was travel, or you

862
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: played three in a week and you come back and

863
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: have a day off to which you're just exhausted. The

864
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: point is that college basketball is great, and I would

865
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: love for coaches college coaches to have more time around

866
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: their players, but some of it you need. You need

867
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: the time to grow as a human being, needs some

868
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: time away because professional basketball is a job, a legit job,

869
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 1: one that they can fire you from at any point.

870
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: In Brett Brown, head coach of the seventies sixers, joins

871
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: us on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Uh, you're down four,

872
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: called time out just after the previous time out. You

873
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: had called time out and said, hey, we get three

874
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: stops for all the places going crazy. We didn't get

875
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: a chance to hear what you said when you cut

876
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: to four and they call it time out. What do

877
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: you say? I mean, just trying to reflect back on

878
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: how we were able to come down from as deep

879
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: as we were we wanted. We went on a sixteen

880
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: to run to get it to two, and just trying

881
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: to reflect on the things defensively especially that allowed us

882
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: to do that while you know, sort of nominating targets,

883
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 1: different sort of looks you hope to get to. If

884
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: the game became slow, we we we try to play fast,

885
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: but if the game became slow, you know what, look

886
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: did we want to live in? And though those types

887
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: of things. If you could, if you could go back

888
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: personally and change one thing, what would it be. I

889
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: think to play that Dwyane Wade stole the ball from

890
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: Dario sarag Um. I give credit to Dwayne. You know,

891
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: he's got that veteran sort of freedom to break a

892
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: defensive um. You know system, it's it's a complete sort

893
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: of outlier to what they normally do. Uh. You know,

894
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: I wish we had that opportunity again. I felt like

895
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: if we could have scored on that possession, things might

896
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: have been a little bit differently. You know, you always

897
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: watch a game and feel like there's a defining moment

898
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: and like a mood swing, a single play that pivots

899
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: the game. I felt like that was it. I don't

900
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: know if I do anything differently with it, Doug, but

901
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I look back at that

902
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: and and and and sort of regret that situation more

903
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: than anything. Yeah, but that's not your Like, I know

904
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: the play call, right, you're in like a horn set

905
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: on the two high posts and that's on Ben Simmons.

906
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: Who's you know what do you want to come a

907
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,479
Speaker 1: rookie or a redshirt rookie Like he kind of enters

908
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: the ball and starts cutting instead of looking like I

909
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: guess you just grab him and hey, watch out for weight.

910
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna cheat a play. You know, be sure with

911
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: your passes. I mean, is that is that really kind

912
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: of the adjustment you you're making? You learn those those

913
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: those little things that matter in playoff games that guys

914
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: are able to get away with in the regular season.

915
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: I think where you're going is more true than not.

916
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: You know, really we should just be shaken Dwyane Wade

917
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: and and saying well done. You broke the defensive sort

918
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: of scheme. You gambled and you got rewarded. And you know,

919
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: I give him credit, Dwayne, Dwayne, you know read the

920
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: thing well. As far as I probably didn't answer the question,

921
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: um the way you you you asked you. As far

922
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: as regrets go, I don't have many. I think my

923
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: point only with the Dwayne Waite situation was a hell

924
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: of a play, and I may mean just so of

925
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: holistically you wish that one didn't happen. All right, So

926
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: does that mean Kevin Hart is no longer welcome at

927
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: a Philadelphia seventy six game because you've done this great

928
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: job of you got messages from Barkley Dr j A.

929
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: I was at the game right next to Kevin Hart.

930
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: Eric snow, you know you you got video messages of

931
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: all the former players and that. But Kevin Hart's over

932
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: there talking trash. And after the game, Dwyane Wade's like, hey,

933
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: thank Kevin Hart. He motivated me. Yeah, you know he's

934
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: He's Philly. He's always welcome. He's uh, he asked you.

935
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't off you realize this stuff. I've seen him shooting,

936
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: but he's visited a few times and he he's got

937
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: a great stroke, like he really still can or shoots

938
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm not too sure his basketball background, but

939
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: he's Filly, he's profiled, he can shoot, so we we

940
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: will welcome him with those type of qualities. Frett Brown

941
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: joining us head coach of the Philadelphia seventies six ers. Um,

942
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: all right, so let's get to the m BID thing.

943
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: I thought you handled it really well, But did you

944
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: like when you're you're up there at the podium and

945
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: somebody asked you about an Instagram post? What's what's that

946
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: like to where you're you're looking at the box score,

947
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: you're answering questions. You're still I understand how it is.

948
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: You're you're like in your mind, you're like a personal DVR.

949
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: You know, you're reviewing the game in your head and

950
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: trying to answer questions. What's that like to be asked

951
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: about an Instagram post from Joel? Well, what had happened

952
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: is right before him going to the oh do you

953
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: my pr guy? And it would have been twenty seconds

954
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: before I walked into the press conference the post game stuff.

955
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: You know that he gave me a head duck. That

956
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: did Joe l embiid had uh, you know, twe did something.

957
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 1: He read it to me and then it was brought

958
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: up in the press conference. And what I said, I mean,

959
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, like it was easy to say I I

960
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: genuinely mean it, and so it was a little bit different.

961
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: But I had been given a little bit of a

962
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: heads up right before I walked into the room. Okay, so, um,

963
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: do you tell does he shut Do you shut down

964
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: his Instagram? Me? Is there any sort of like repercussion?

965
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: Because I don't It doesn't like obviously you want him

966
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: to play, your team wants him to play, but you're

967
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,959
Speaker 1: just kind of trying to follow the doctor's orders. Um,

968
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: how do you have? Have you handled it? Since? I

969
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: mean that that that's more? You know, I think an

970
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: organizational thing that it is certainly discussed. I feel like

971
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: with Joel, you know, normally he does not cross the

972
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: line like he's out there. He's certainly at times is

973
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: is playful with social media. But this this particular thing,

974
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: I I personally don't read much into it, and my

975
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: comments last night were true. It reflects what I really

976
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: think and we move on, you know, like, I don't

977
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: think it needs to be made that big of a deal.

978
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: Bret Brown, head coach of the Philadelphia seventies six years,

979
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: I've been in awe of your ability to get a

980
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: young player like Ben Simmons to play as well. He's

981
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: not a great defensive player yet, but he was an

982
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: awful defensive player in college, and you've gotten him to

983
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: lock in better than anyone's ever seen him lock in.

984
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: Have you done it? I think the history that I

985
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: have with his family. I coached his father a long

986
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: time ago. I knew his mom and dad before they

987
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: were married. You know, I've known Ben Simmons, his his

988
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: his whole sort of duration, especially with the Australian background

989
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: that he has. And you know, I just feel like

990
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: that country kicks hard. That country really just loves this sport.

991
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: They compete. His dad was an amazing defensive player, and

992
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: we challenge him, you know, like I really and I

993
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: appreciate he lets meet coach him. I told him, it's

994
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: going to be a heck of a lot easier to

995
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: impact the game for you defensively, uh, your first year

996
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: in the NBA than it is offensively. I think some

997
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: of that I was wrong. I thought I was going

998
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: to be more right than maybe I have been. But

999
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball is what interests me

1000
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: the most. I think it's part of this culture, certainly

1001
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: part of his DNA with his the way that his

1002
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: dad played, and I used all that, like, I really

1003
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: challenge him and use all that. I appreciate the fact

1004
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: that you're signaling when changing lanes. That that is in

1005
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: addition to joining us on Bluetooth. Bret Brown joining us

1006
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: on the Doug Gallashy the left hand turner right hand,

1007
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: and I assume left right. You almost always say that's

1008
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: a that's a form of player anticipation. You are correct,

1009
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: that is a left hand turn. Okay, So I kind

1010
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: of think in a crazy way. Chris Mannix joined us earlier,

1011
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: and he said, like, look, I think they tried to

1012
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: steal a steal a game, you knowing and be could

1013
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: come back, but try to get up to oh Restom

1014
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: as much as possible. But I kind of think it

1015
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: was better. You never want to lose, but it's better

1016
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: that you lost a game early like that so that

1017
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: your team doesn't get full of themselves. They are still

1018
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: with exception of Yesova or Marco Bell and only some

1019
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: of the veterans and JJ, you kind of got leveled

1020
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: off a little bit. Can can last night be something

1021
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: to build upon that actually helps you? I think I

1022
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: think it can be done. I don't feel for the

1023
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: reason you said, but I do think that I feel

1024
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: like the lights that we have lived here in Philadelphia.

1025
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,479
Speaker 1: We we led by me. You have never gotten ahead

1026
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: of ourselves. We're just sort of grateful to you know,

1027
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: all be fighting to to to continue to win. We

1028
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: hadn't lost since UM watched their teeth. I believe it was.

1029
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: And we all like walked into the gym's thinking that

1030
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: our season could end tomorrow and we that sort of

1031
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: just respect to how we did our jobs. That is true,

1032
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: that's not coach speak. I feel like to your point

1033
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: of now, can it make us better? Most definitely. You know,

1034
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: Miami came in. They responded to a loss in a

1035
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: way that we we we talked about it is a

1036
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: there's a difference between talking about it and for now

1037
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 1: the play is feeling it. It was a physicality, there

1038
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: was a high level of intensity. You know, we got

1039
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: bent over, we got stood up there. Really, I thought

1040
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: did a great job of pressuring the ball. I think

1041
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: from that perspective we can learn UM. But it is

1042
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: it's Uh, you know, it's a fistfight, as we both know,

1043
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: and we we look forward to going to Miami. Well, look,

1044
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: obviously everybody has been impressed with the run. It's been

1045
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: a long time since everyone loses at some point, UM,

1046
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: even even the Warriors lost one game in the playoffs

1047
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: last year. Safe travel us to Miami. Look forward to

1048
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: catching up with you soon, and UH continued success and

1049
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: health to you. Brett. Yeah, now thanks for having me

1050
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 1: take him out. Alright, Brett Brown, who joins us fresh

1051
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: off a left hand turned signal with a seatbell on

1052
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: using Bluetooth. So anybody who's thinking that he's not a

1053
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: safe driver, I think otherwise. All right. So that's uh,

1054
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: that's this edition of All Ball. My thanks to coach

1055

1059
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: I just I think that this is this is generally

1060
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: what happens when guys get a new job, right and

1061
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: you have a pretty good, not great, but first year

1062
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: is you get the kids to stay home. It happened

1063
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: with Ben Hollin at u c l A. He first

1064
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: gets there, he puts together an outstanding recruiting class. Jordan

1065
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: Farmar leads at Tapped High School. They build that fence

1066
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: around the southern California area, and that for ever changed

1067
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: U c l A basketball. During the decade he was there.

1068
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: They went to three straight final fours. Um, you hire

1069
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: Archie Miller, and you get him in the spring, and

1070
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: it takes a year. But after a year now Romeo Lankford,

1071
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: I feel like it happens there. Um, and then you're

1072
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: starting to hear kind of all of these high major

1073
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: schools what they're doing. Look, Kansas loading up, Kentucky loading up,

1074
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: Duke loading up, a lot of young players, U c

1075
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: l A loading up. Next week, we'll get to some

1076
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: of the other programs, which, you know, let's see what

1077
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: happens with Villanova with the Marie Spellman declaring for the

1078
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: NBA Draft, not signing with an agent. But they've already

1079
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: lost a couple of other players. Michail Bridges. We knew

1080
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: they lose, Jalen Brunson, we knew they lose. Let's find

1081
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: out what else happens at Villanova. But those other programs

1082
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: that have the older kids coming back, um, how can

1083
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: they compete? I will compare and contrast. But again, the

1084
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: transfer stuff has to settle. As for the NBA, we'll

1085
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: we'll update you by the time we recorded the next

1086
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: All Ball. Um, we're gonna have I think more clarity

1087
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: on a couple of these series. It does look like

1088
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: the Warriors are just substantially better than the Spurs up

1089
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: two games to none. That doesn't mean the Spurs can't

1090
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: Popham can't win a game. You look around and um,

1091
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: we'll get probably better clarity on the Calves and just

1092
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: how big a trouble that they could be in the

1093
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: thunder if you can go up to games done. Now

1094
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: remember going back to Utah playing in altitude, Utah always

1095
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: gonna be better at home in a difficult road at

1096
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: home environment. I'll be interested to see if Minnesota can

1097
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: steal a game in Houston. Felt like they had a shot.

1098
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: Houston had them at arms length the entire game, but

1099
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: they still fall on the air chance to tie it's

1100
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: in into overtime. They had several opportunities to win that game,

1101
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that James Harden went nuts

1102
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: in Game one and then you got Toronto taken on

1103
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: the Wizards. I personally think like that's gonna I think

1104
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an outstanding series. I think it's gonna

1105
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: go six or seven games. I could be wrong, but

1106
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that Lowry has I think that Lowry

1107
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: is at a disadvantage athletically to John wall and no

1108
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: John Walt didn't shoo well, especially in the second half

1109
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: of Game one, but he will make some shots. They

1110
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: will win a couple of games in this series. I

1111
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: just think the Wizards have too much talent not win

1112
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: a couple of games. So fast aid to see what happens.

1113
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: As the playoffs march on, We'll have more NBA Draft stuff,

1114
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,560
