Speaker 1: On this episode of The Heat checked the Milwaukee Bucks
Speaker 1: firehead coach Adriane Griffin, and you'll never guess, folks, who
Speaker 1: they're thinking about bringing back in his fucking place. You
Speaker 1: will be stunned. Miami. The Heat finally makes trade before
Speaker 1: the deadline, and I don't know how long it's been.
Speaker 1: Embiid has his best game in his entire career. He
Speaker 1: drops seventy Karl Anthony Towns has the best game in
Speaker 1: franchise history, and yet he turns his best moment into
Speaker 1: the most disgusting moment of the Timberwolves all season. Sounds
Speaker 1: about cat and it becomes the all scoring night. Wendy
Speaker 1: puts up thirty three, Katie goes for forty three, woo Wie,
Speaker 1: and it is the best of times. It is the
Speaker 1: worst of times for Embiid and Jordan Poole. The snow
Speaker 1: hasn't even melted yet, so let's go right into it,
Speaker 1: Anthony and drop that motherfucking beat that should be real.
Speaker 1: First up, Up. If the energy's a little lower, I'm
Speaker 1: still a bit under the weather, so forgive me for
Speaker 1: not being my normally turned up self. But alert alert.
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks have fired their head coach Adrian Griffin
Speaker 1: middle of the season in his first year, hands selected
Speaker 1: by Jannis. Oh no, damn, the league's out of control
Speaker 1: right now. Let me repeat the second place Milwaukee Bucks,
Speaker 1: who are thirty and thirteen, have fired their rookie head
Speaker 1: coach just forty three games into the year. And folks,
Speaker 1: I wish I could say, who would no, who could
Speaker 1: have seen this coming? I wish I could say this
Speaker 1: came out of absolutely nowhere. But it didn't come out
Speaker 1: of nowhere, did it. It came out of somewhere. It
Speaker 1: came out of every logical place that you know. If
Speaker 1: you're an NBA fan, in the fiber of your being,
Speaker 1: you knew, you knew Adrian Griffin wasn't that guy. Here's
Speaker 1: what I said on the heat check in October when
Speaker 1: I was previewing the Bucks for the upcoming season. Mind you,
Speaker 1: we haven't even had one regular season game yet, and
Speaker 1: here's what I said about Adrian Griffin. The thing, though,
Speaker 1: that gives me great pause about Milwaukee is the fact
Speaker 1: that Adrian Griffin's a new head coach and he clearly
Speaker 1: is on some power struggle bullshit. He is literally on
Speaker 1: the I am new to the job, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you I'm in charge. I am gonna let you
Speaker 1: know who's wearing the big balls here. And so Terry Stotts,
Speaker 1: who coached Damian Lillard for nine years, comes to the
Speaker 1: team right before Dame gets traded, and then Adrian Griffin
Speaker 1: yells at him about some nonsense and Terry Stotts is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm done with this shit. That gives me great pause.
Speaker 1: It is this I have to assert my dominance because
Speaker 1: I'm new at the job kind of vibe. Turns out
Speaker 1: it was one hundred percent right my fear, and it
Speaker 1: turns out those fears were very well founded. The man
Speaker 1: couldn't even last a full season before getting jettison before
Speaker 1: Jannis was going on seven minute rants being like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: we don't even know what we're doing plan wise. We
Speaker 1: need to have a defensive scheme, like are we giving
Speaker 1: up threes? Are we giving up post ups? Are we
Speaker 1: giving up slashes to the rim? Are we a Latin? Guys?
Speaker 1: Just get up dunks? Are we giving up mid ranges?
Speaker 1: Because right now we're giving up everything. And as far
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, I don't think we should be giving
Speaker 1: up everything. We are a terrible defensive team as one
Speaker 1: of the worst defense teams in the NBA, coming on
Speaker 1: the heels of one of the best defensive teams in
Speaker 1: the NBA under Mike Putenholzer. He joins Adrian Griffin. He
Speaker 1: joins David Blatt of the Lebron Calves team who got
Speaker 1: fired almost eight years ago to the day with a
Speaker 1: thirty and eleven record, although it wasn't even his rookie season.
Speaker 1: That was his second year, so they had a full
Speaker 1: season and a half to evaluate David Blatt. You may
Speaker 1: ask yourself why, that's the question being asked Chris Mannix
Speaker 1: of the corpse that used to be this that's wrong.
Speaker 1: The corpse that used to be is SI. That's just
Speaker 1: fucked up for us to say. But it is the corpse.
Speaker 1: It is SI. They are they are dead. The bodies
Speaker 1: are hitting the flow Rip two Sports illustrated. This is
Speaker 1: what Chris Mannick says. There have been steady rumblings for
Speaker 1: weeks in NBA circles that several Bucks veterans, including Giannis,
Speaker 1: had lost faith in Griffin. Appeared to be a smart
Speaker 1: hire last spring, just never worked out. Those rumblings became
Speaker 1: full out growls and roars as Jannis repeatedly flamed the
Speaker 1: Bucks in every way defensively in his postgame pressers as
Speaker 1: the team struggled to be even the Detroit Pistons two
Speaker 1: nights ago. And let's face it, if you can barely
Speaker 1: beat the Pistons, you are having a real hard time.
Speaker 1: If you need forty five from Dame to beat the
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons, you are a really, really bad defensive team.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I know Drew's gone in Dame's turnstile, but
Speaker 1: that just is not enough of an excuse for you
Speaker 1: to be so fucking bad. Griffin thought he was going
Speaker 1: to create some new plan about how to become a
Speaker 1: better defensive team, despite the fact that his roster did
Speaker 1: not really align with his quote unquote scheme. Honest, it
Speaker 1: was really fucking terrible. He wanted to bring brook Lopez
Speaker 1: up further in drop coverage and then get proceeded to
Speaker 1: get roasted at the room so much so that a
Speaker 1: fucking coup, Like two games into the season was stage
Speaker 1: where they said, no, no, our defensive player of the year,
Speaker 1: guy who is getting blocks on blocks on blocks, you
Speaker 1: need to let him do that. He's not a guy
Speaker 1: who's gonna athletically stay with somebody in pick and roll.
Speaker 1: They refuse to adapt to his new defensive scheme that
Speaker 1: clearly wasn't working and he didn't have the personnel to
Speaker 1: make it work anyway. So instead of instead of going
Speaker 1: back to Budenholzer's scheme or simplifying, he just put his
Speaker 1: feet down. He also talked about the fact that his
Speaker 1: whole team went against him and he basically had to
Speaker 1: capitulate the man ran Terry's s thoughts out of town
Speaker 1: before there was ever a game. And if you don't
Speaker 1: remember Terry Stotts, shame on you. Damian Lillard's head coach
Speaker 1: for nine years. He was there before Damian Lillard even
Speaker 1: got there, and then was supposed to help with the
Speaker 1: offense and for some reason they had some sort of
Speaker 1: tiff and he was deuces. Joe Prunty again is the
Speaker 1: interim head coach aka I don't know what he's going
Speaker 1: to be doing, but the leading candidate to replace him
Speaker 1: full time. You won't believe it. You won't believe it.
Speaker 1: If I say it, You'll say, Trista, you're lying. You'll say, Trista,
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. You'll say, how can this guy
Speaker 1: get another job. If we know that this team right
Speaker 1: now under Adrian Griffin is good in the standings, but
Speaker 1: where if we're honest with ourselves as in the true
Speaker 1: contender and being mediocre despite the roster that says they
Speaker 1: should be really good, it's not acceptable in its championship.
Speaker 1: Then this can't be the leading candidate. You can't pitch
Speaker 1: me him, And I tell you no, No, he's not
Speaker 1: only the leading candidate, he's already been embedded in the
Speaker 1: team like a snake. Snake. Yes, folks, Doc fucking Rivers
Speaker 1: the snake himself. He has been signed on since December
Speaker 1: as a consultant while working for ESPN and helping Adrian
Speaker 1: Griffin get his feet wet, all the while going back
Speaker 1: to management and saying this guy ain't got it and
Speaker 1: he's gonna take this man's job after being fired for
Speaker 1: doing the exact same thing that Adrian Griffin did, only
Speaker 1: for many, many, many, many many more years. Look at
Speaker 1: the way that he's been sneak diss in the bucks
Speaker 1: in the media. This is fucking outrageous. I would rather
Speaker 1: see the return of Mike Budenholzer. Yeah, let's just get random.
Speaker 1: Let's get random. Dame just shoot from thirty. Dame, We're
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot more on this. But if if
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers, if Doc Rivers gets hired, then all I
Speaker 1: can say is thank you to Jimmy Haslam, because then
Speaker 1: I will know for sure, Dame Willard, We'll never get
Speaker 1: that fucking ring. Let's move on. That would just be
Speaker 1: a shame. Let's move on. There's so much going on
Speaker 1: inside the association. My head is spinning. Monday night turned
Speaker 1: out to be one of the craziest nights in recent memory.
Speaker 1: Jaron Jackson had six steals in the first quarter. Hit
Speaker 1: six steals the first quarter. That is insane. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: That's not even gonna make the podcast. That's how good
Speaker 1: the scoring, that's how good the performances were. It reminded
Speaker 1: me we got to talk about something I've been meaning
Speaker 1: to talk about this. There's a lot of people right
Speaker 1: now that are older than me to think that the
Speaker 1: NBA fucking sucks right now. They think that it's worse
Speaker 1: than it's ever been, and I am here to tell
Speaker 1: you no, it is actually the opposite. We are now
Speaker 1: living in the Golden Age, the renaissance of scoring. It
Speaker 1: is become and it's not because nobody plays defense either.
Speaker 1: It is because the players themselves have turned themselves into
Speaker 1: cheat coats. If you saw Joel Embiid anytime this season,
Speaker 1: you will know exactly what I'm talking about. Old heads like, yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody hustles, blah blah blah, nobody bangs. You don't even
Speaker 1: remember what it was like in the era of magic
Speaker 1: and bird blah blah blah. We don't care about that.
Speaker 1: Look at Nikola Jokic and Aunt Edwards and LaMelo Ball
Speaker 1: and Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Durant and Embiid so so
Speaker 1: many more. Their footwork, their ability to get to the rim,
Speaker 1: their ability to have counters on their counters to score,
Speaker 1: their abilities to just figure out a way to maneuver
Speaker 1: their body. It is so much fun. Look at what
Speaker 1: has happened in the last five days in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Tatum went off for thirty eight eleven and five. Jalen
Speaker 1: Brunson went for forty one to eight and eight. This
Speaker 1: is a man who some people are saying is not
Speaker 1: even in an All Star forty one, eight and eight.
Speaker 1: If he is not an All Star, think about what
Speaker 1: that means for the NBA. Okay, including at twenty in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in a win over the Wizards. Yo
Speaker 1: Kich forty two, twelve and eight over the Wizards. Do
Speaker 1: you see a trend here? By the way get games
Speaker 1: against the Wizards. Booker put up fifty two in a
Speaker 1: blowout win against the Pelicans on Friday. Durant had forty
Speaker 1: in a back to back games, including one without shooting
Speaker 1: a single free throw. But all of that, all of
Speaker 1: that takes a back seat to Jojo Joel Embiid. Why
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid on Monday night went off for seventy fucking
Speaker 1: points seventy seventy I thought when it was trending on Twitter,
Speaker 1: it was a mistake. I thought there was no shot.
Speaker 1: The man Joel Embiid has been putting up thirty five,
Speaker 1: putting his hard head on, and then sitting his ass
Speaker 1: down against this team. I thought to myself, there's no
Speaker 1: chance he plays more than three quarters seven zero seventy
Speaker 1: as in more one more than sixty nine nice. I
Speaker 1: think it's very difficult for me to process right now.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that is a figure that, in the
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, makes no sense. From nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: three to two thousand and two, the NBA had four
Speaker 1: seventy point games. There's now been three in the last
Speaker 1: thirteen months. That's where we're at right now. The Golden
Speaker 1: Age is scoring. Embiid is only the ninth player in
Speaker 1: history to score seventy only the third seven footer, and
Speaker 1: he did it shooting two threes only. He is only
Speaker 1: the second player in history to have a sixty five,
Speaker 1: fifteen and five or better night. The other guy not
Speaker 1: Wilt Michael Jordan, speaking of will, Joel Embiid is actually,
Speaker 1: if you look at it, playing better than Wilt is.
Speaker 1: He is scoring more points per minute this season than
Speaker 1: Wilt Chamberlain, when he averaged fifty points per game. Joel Embiid,
Speaker 1: if he played all four quarters all the games that
Speaker 1: he's played, would be averaging fifty. I mean, that's just
Speaker 1: not even that's not even a debate. He is so
Speaker 1: good right now. If if Joel Embiid can make it
Speaker 1: to the finish line with sixty five played games and
Speaker 1: Jokic continues to play this way, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know how they don't just give two of them away.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they don't just give them both.
Speaker 1: MVPs are now the MVP's co for the next decade.
Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now. In his last ten games,
Speaker 1: MBAT has gone off for forty eleven and six with
Speaker 1: three steals and blocks in thirty five minutes per game.
Speaker 1: Can you process that? Can you put your little mind
Speaker 1: to understanding how you score more than one point per minute? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he gets the ball, he jab steps, and he shoots
Speaker 1: over you, and you know pretty much what it feels
Speaker 1: like is one hundred percent of the time it's going
Speaker 1: in splash unless you foul him, and then he's going
Speaker 1: to the free throw line and he's splash splashed. The
Speaker 1: Sixers are eight and two in those games. In the
Speaker 1: last ten games, they're covering numbers two. I know they
Speaker 1: didn't cover two nights ago, but boy, oh boy, was
Speaker 1: it close. This is the new NBA, and if you
Speaker 1: don't like it, then go the fuck home. I don't
Speaker 1: care about you. These guys are so incredibly gifted. Saying
Speaker 1: this the other night, when Embiid misses a shot, I'm
Speaker 1: actually surprised, and you're talking about a guy who is
Speaker 1: seven feet two and you are actually shocked when he
Speaker 1: takes a guy face up and he and he puts
Speaker 1: it up. How good was it? How good is seventy
Speaker 1: points by Joel EMBII. Let's check in with Durant and
Speaker 1: see what he has to say. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw Joel and did score seventy? Cat has sixty seventy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe has seventy today, Yes, seventy. So what did Knights
Speaker 1: like to that mean?
Speaker 2: In the NBA?
Speaker 1: Shit, it's insane what we got going on. We got
Speaker 1: bigs hitting ten threes, hitting ten threes. When you when
Speaker 1: Kat puts up forty three and you give him someone
Speaker 1: else's stat line and his response is shit, us, WHOA
Speaker 1: you have done something historic? This is the peak of
Speaker 1: basketball people. Last night lost in NBA Historic night. Victor womeny,
Speaker 1: I'm also incredible. In twenty eight minutes he put up
Speaker 1: thirty three points rookie ten for nineteen two or five
Speaker 1: from three, seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks. He was great.
Speaker 1: Even if even if you got torched by MB, you're
Speaker 1: not stopping that man. You're not stopping that man. In fact,
Speaker 1: Victor gave a great rationale for why we are in
Speaker 1: the golden age of scoring, the return of the big man.
Speaker 1: He said this a few years back. It was more
Speaker 1: of a guard's game. But now it's gonna come back
Speaker 1: to a big man's game. I think it makes sense
Speaker 1: in terms of the game. We got guys, some guys
Speaker 1: all around the league who do a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: despite being very tall. It's just the way the game
Speaker 1: changes now we got to adapt. Yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not really a big man's game, Victor, it's a guards game.
Speaker 1: And those guards happened to be seven feet tall. That's
Speaker 1: what it is. That's what it is. Watch Shoell Mbid's footage,
Speaker 1: Watch old Kobe footage and tell me those men aren't
Speaker 1: the same. I'm not even supposed to be getting hyped
Speaker 1: up like this. Watch Kobe's footage, Watch Joel Embiid's footage
Speaker 1: and tell me those men aren't doing the same thing
Speaker 1: out there. The back to the basket moves that Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid has, the face up moves midy right in your
Speaker 1: fucking face like a killer. Oh yeah, by the way,
Speaker 1: that was on the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's eighty one
Speaker 1: point performance. You don't think that was lost. You think
Speaker 1: that was lost on the players who put up crazy
Speaker 1: numbers trying to become Kobe. Kobe embid is shooting forty
Speaker 1: two percent from three, Chet thirty nine percent from three,
Speaker 1: Jokic thirty five percent from three. And that's just the
Speaker 1: regular season. Watch what what jo Jokic does in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: shooting fifty percent from three in the playoffs. Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: who is let's be honest, he's seven feet tall, but
Speaker 1: he calls himself six to ten because you know why
Speaker 1: not forty six percent from three? It is still the
Speaker 1: age of the guard. But there's seven feet two, seven
Speaker 1: feet tall. How oh, if you're Damian Lillard, do you survive?
Speaker 1: This is why Aunt Edwards and Anthony Black and kids
Speaker 1: who are six seven to six nine with guard skills.
Speaker 1: That's why they like Survival of the Fittest are eating six'
Speaker 1: one guards and spitting them to THE g. League if
Speaker 1: you are six foot one right, now you should be.
Speaker 1: Terrified if you are a college player and you are
Speaker 1: under six five six six sixty seven and you play,
Speaker 1: Guard i'm, sorry you might think about playing In. China
Speaker 1: this is going. Down this shit is going down every.
Speaker 1: Night who is gonna be, Today who's gonna be? Tomorrow
Speaker 1: is gonna be? Honest going for fifty sixty, Seventy Donovan
Speaker 1: mitchell going for, Seventy dame going for, EIGHTY i mean
Speaker 1: probably Not dame going for Eighty with This bucks, team
Speaker 1: let's be, honest because their offense doesn't work right, Now but,
Speaker 1: shit would you be shocked If Terry, rozier who just
Speaker 1: got traded to The, heat goes for one't I Tyler
Speaker 1: hero forty. FIVE i mean we got let's be, real
Speaker 1: we got real mid guys that can put up. Fifty
Speaker 1: that just shows you that the league's really really good right.
Speaker 1: Now between ninety five and two, thousand here are the
Speaker 1: following players who scored fifty or more. Points Michael jordan
Speaker 1: did it three, Times ai, Twice shack, Twice Malone's rapin' ass,
Speaker 1: Twice Cliff robinson, Once Vince carter, Once mahmood Abdul raouf
Speaker 1: once claps to me for pronouncing that, Correctly Aki malaijuan,
Speaker 1: Once Alonzo morning, Once Tracy murray. Once ten different players
Speaker 1: put up fifteen to fifty point games in five. Years
Speaker 1: let's go into the modern. Numbers just last, year there
Speaker 1: were twenty five fifty point games from fifteen different. Players
Speaker 1: Luka doncic four, Times Damian lillard three, Times Joel embiid three,
Speaker 1: Times Devin booker two, Times giannis, Twice curry, Twice Donovan mitchell,
Speaker 1: Once Julius, Randall Ad Clay, Thompson, Shocker Pascal, Siakam Darius, Garland,
Speaker 1: Wooh Drew, Holliday Jason, tatum And Jannis. OH i already
Speaker 1: Said Janis jannis did it. Twice there have been eleven
Speaker 1: fifty points or more games already this year and we
Speaker 1: are halfway. Through do you think that things are exponentially getting, bigger, better, faster,
Speaker 1: stronger better, footwork just more? Buckets so, Yes if you
Speaker 1: don't like, it then probably start billions or. SOMETHING i don't,
Speaker 1: know BUT i personally love, it just LIKE i love me.
Speaker 1: Some Joel, embiid he is. Enough him And Kelly ubra
Speaker 1: And Tyrese maxi And Nick nurse are enough to get
Speaker 1: me to fall in love with The sixers. TEAM i
Speaker 1: truly believe this is the best team in The, east
Speaker 1: AND i Think Joel embiid And Nick nurse probably Name
Speaker 1: let's move on some quick news from around the. League
Speaker 1: as an addend To joel embiid seventy, POINTS i would
Speaker 1: be remiss not to mention That Karl Anthony towns had
Speaker 1: a career night himself had a franchise record in, fact
Speaker 1: and it was very much related to What Joel embid
Speaker 1: did was. Doing So towns was going. Crazy had forty
Speaker 1: four in the first. Half he was the first player
Speaker 1: in history to hit ten, threes ten twos and ten
Speaker 1: free throws in the, game goes off for sixty. Two the, problem,
Speaker 1: though is that The wolves found out that fifty THE
Speaker 1: embiid had fifty at, half and they decided they were
Speaker 1: going to try to go toe to toe With. Embiid
Speaker 1: they were going to try to game the system to
Speaker 1: get Karl Anthony towns to put up M b type.
Speaker 1: Numbers and here's the. Problem statadding for Karl Anthony towns
Speaker 1: or anyone can lead to big. Problems and it worked
Speaker 1: for a. While kat had fifty eight by the end
Speaker 1: of the third. Quarter but the problem was that The
Speaker 1: Charlotte hornets also were trying to make shots and they
Speaker 1: weren't gonna lay down and die just because Carl Anthony
Speaker 1: towns wanted to score seventy as. Well in, fact The,
Speaker 1: hornets knowing That minnesota was just going to Give cat
Speaker 1: the ball in the fourth quarter and that was pretty
Speaker 1: much all that they were going to. Do they, decided
Speaker 1: we'll just send everybody at, them triple, team quadruple, Team
Speaker 1: and of Course Karl Anthony, towns his ego kept missing,
Speaker 1: shots would not. Pass The hornets outscored The wolves thirty
Speaker 1: six eighteen in the fourth quarter and one by. Three
Speaker 1: Only Karl Anthony towns could do. This only only he
Speaker 1: could turn the best performance in his career to something
Speaker 1: that makes me like him. Less guests who also was
Speaker 1: pissed about the stat padding his head, coach let's listen.
Speaker 2: In it was an absolute disgusting performance of defense and
Speaker 2: immature basketball all the way through the. Game so it
Speaker 2: really didn't slip. Away been there from the Jont so
Speaker 2: this is what happens when you have this type of.
Speaker 1: Approach, disgusting when your own coach is roasting the whole
Speaker 1: team because you wanted to go toe for toe With
Speaker 1: joe L, embiid who can go for seventy quite, casually
Speaker 1: and you need to make a concerted effort to get.
Speaker 1: Points this is just So Karl Anthony. Towns Chris finch
Speaker 1: has every right to be. Pissed The wolves are a
Speaker 1: really good. Team they're number one in The. West they're
Speaker 1: a great defensive. Team but when you allow The Charlotte
Speaker 1: hornets to beat, you oh, baby it's not a good.
Speaker 1: Sign shouldn't hurt him in the long, run but it
Speaker 1: does go to show you that they have a, weakness
Speaker 1: and that's how you exploit. It Exploit Karl Anthony towns's
Speaker 1: oversized ego that is masking his insecure behavior and his
Speaker 1: soul and, maybe just maybe you can dethrone them in the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs let's move. On there was a major trade that
Speaker 1: went on big implications in The Eastern. Conference i'm sure
Speaker 1: some teams are not happy about the. Move Miami heat
Speaker 1: finally pulled the. Trigger decided By Kyle lowry you. Stink
Speaker 1: they send him twenty twenty seven first round pick to
Speaker 1: The Charlotte hornets for Scary Terry Terry. Rozier we've been
Speaker 1: talking about this trade for a while. Now there's been
Speaker 1: pictures Of Terry rosier photoshopped and heat, gear and he's liking.
Speaker 1: Them he's talking about heat. Culture he's putting a photos
Speaker 1: on His instagram of heat. BANNERS i, mean it was
Speaker 1: very obvious he wanted to go to the Heat he
Speaker 1: was telegraphing that all the. Way he's averaging twenty three
Speaker 1: point two points per game right, now along with six
Speaker 1: point six, assists also a career. High he IS i
Speaker 1: think one of the more underrated guards in the league
Speaker 1: because he's playing For. Charlotte nobody really knows who he.
Speaker 1: IS i told somebody about him when the trade went,
Speaker 1: down and they, said who's. That you're gonna find out
Speaker 1: who he. Is if you're a casual. Fan he's going
Speaker 1: to fit heat cold like a. Glove the kid is
Speaker 1: about as hard As rocks. Pause he's a, younger faster
Speaker 1: version Of Kyle. Lowry he doesn't play nearly as good a,
Speaker 1: defense but he can. Score if you look at his advanced,
Speaker 1: stats really, truly he's in the same category As edwards
Speaker 1: And Desmond. Bane he's a top twenty five player in
Speaker 1: the league. Statistically lowry was in the last month. Terrible it's.
Speaker 1: Horrible you didn't even know how many points he was
Speaker 1: scoring per game in this month four point. Two four
Speaker 1: point two points per game For Kyle lowry four point.
Speaker 1: Two you got to get rid of that. Man he's
Speaker 1: on his last. Leg he was an expiring, contract so
Speaker 1: you knew he was gonna go, anyway and now they
Speaker 1: find somebody to help him. Produce it's a desperate. Move
Speaker 1: it's a move that's Like Damian, lillard like they got
Speaker 1: rid of that twenty twenty seven first round. Pick they
Speaker 1: were gonna do it. Regardless it sounds like they just
Speaker 1: needed to make a. Move that's. Huge it's a huge
Speaker 1: piece for. Them they now have multiple. Guys they have
Speaker 1: three guys right now that are scoring more than Twenty, Tyler,
Speaker 1: Hero Jimmy butler And. BAM i think that's the only
Speaker 1: trio in THE nba right now that's doing. That you've
Speaker 1: Got Duncan robinson not just shooting threes. Anymore he's, slashing
Speaker 1: he's playing really. Well you've Got Kevin, love who's there
Speaker 1: as a veteran. Player you Got Jimi hawkes is gonna
Speaker 1: Make All rookie. Team and now you Got Terry, rosier
Speaker 1: who you might say has done absolutely nothing of note
Speaker 1: because he's been playing for The Charlotte. Hornets but let
Speaker 1: me remind you he's played significant playoff minutes as the
Speaker 1: starting point guard for The Boston celtics when they made
Speaker 1: their early deep playoff, run When Jason tatum was actually just,
Speaker 1: nineteen not just we joke about him being. Nineteen he
Speaker 1: was the one who, Said, HEY i want to be
Speaker 1: the starting point, guard Not, kyrie Not Marcus. Smart and they, said,
Speaker 1: well we can't do that for, you Scary. Terry you
Speaker 1: got to go somewhere. Else but he can. Play that
Speaker 1: boy can, play and the heater going to love him
Speaker 1: and he's going to make an immediate. Impact but if
