WEBVTT - Trysta's concerns about Adrian Griffin prove true; The Bucks fired him and might hire WHO???? 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.640 On this episode of The Heat checked the Milwaukee Bucks 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:18.960 firehead coach Adriane Griffin, and you'll never guess, folks, who 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.040 they're thinking about bringing back in his fucking place. You 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:27.840 will be stunned. Miami. The Heat finally makes trade before 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.160 the deadline, and I don't know how long it's been. 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:34.040 Embiid has his best game in his entire career. He 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.640 drops seventy Karl Anthony Towns has the best game in 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.440 franchise history, and yet he turns his best moment into 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.840 the most disgusting moment of the Timberwolves all season. Sounds 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.240 about cat and it becomes the all scoring night. Wendy 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.599 puts up thirty three, Katie goes for forty three, woo Wie, 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:54.960 and it is the best of times. It is the 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.320 worst of times for Embiid and Jordan Poole. The snow 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.680 hasn't even melted yet, so let's go right into it, 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.400 Anthony and drop that motherfucking beat that should be real. 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.759 First up, Up. If the energy's a little lower, I'm 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.240 still a bit under the weather, so forgive me for 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.400 not being my normally turned up self. But alert alert. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:30.760 The Milwaukee Bucks have fired their head coach Adrian Griffin 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.720 middle of the season in his first year, hands selected 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:40.160 by Jannis. Oh no, damn, the league's out of control 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:45.080 right now. Let me repeat the second place Milwaukee Bucks, 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.920 who are thirty and thirteen, have fired their rookie head 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:56.880 coach just forty three games into the year. And folks, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.320 I wish I could say, who would no, who could 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.680 have seen this coming? I wish I could say this 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.480 came out of absolutely nowhere. But it didn't come out 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.520 of nowhere, did it. It came out of somewhere. It 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.240 came out of every logical place that you know. If 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.000 you're an NBA fan, in the fiber of your being, 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:25.240 you knew, you knew Adrian Griffin wasn't that guy. Here's 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.160 what I said on the heat check in October when 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.480 I was previewing the Bucks for the upcoming season. Mind you, 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.280 we haven't even had one regular season game yet, and 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.959 here's what I said about Adrian Griffin. The thing, though, 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.800 that gives me great pause about Milwaukee is the fact 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.120 that Adrian Griffin's a new head coach and he clearly 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.760 is on some power struggle bullshit. He is literally on 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.680 the I am new to the job, so I'm gonna 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.200 tell you I'm in charge. I am gonna let you 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.639 know who's wearing the big balls here. And so Terry Stotts, 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.480 who coached Damian Lillard for nine years, comes to the 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.640 team right before Dame gets traded, and then Adrian Griffin 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.639 yells at him about some nonsense and Terry Stotts is like, yeah, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.000 I'm done with this shit. That gives me great pause. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.679 It is this I have to assert my dominance because 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.560 I'm new at the job kind of vibe. Turns out 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.760 it was one hundred percent right my fear, and it 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:24.360 turns out those fears were very well founded. The man 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.720 couldn't even last a full season before getting jettison before 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.640 Jannis was going on seven minute rants being like, hey, guys, 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.720 we don't even know what we're doing plan wise. We 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.240 need to have a defensive scheme, like are we giving 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.240 up threes? Are we giving up post ups? Are we 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.360 giving up slashes to the rim? Are we a Latin? Guys? 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.240 Just get up dunks? Are we giving up mid ranges? 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.880 Because right now we're giving up everything. And as far 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.840 as I'm concerned, I don't think we should be giving 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.480 up everything. We are a terrible defensive team as one 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.800 of the worst defense teams in the NBA, coming on 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.360 the heels of one of the best defensive teams in 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:09.680 the NBA under Mike Putenholzer. He joins Adrian Griffin. He 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.800 joins David Blatt of the Lebron Calves team who got 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.279 fired almost eight years ago to the day with a 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.599 thirty and eleven record, although it wasn't even his rookie season. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.520 That was his second year, so they had a full 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:28.279 season and a half to evaluate David Blatt. You may 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:33.600 ask yourself why, that's the question being asked Chris Mannix 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.239 of the corpse that used to be this that's wrong. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.919 The corpse that used to be is SI. That's just 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.320 fucked up for us to say. But it is the corpse. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.400 It is SI. They are they are dead. The bodies 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:49.160 are hitting the flow Rip two Sports illustrated. This is 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.080 what Chris Mannick says. There have been steady rumblings for 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.240 weeks in NBA circles that several Bucks veterans, including Giannis, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.080 had lost faith in Griffin. Appeared to be a smart 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:07.880 hire last spring, just never worked out. Those rumblings became 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:13.800 full out growls and roars as Jannis repeatedly flamed the 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.280 Bucks in every way defensively in his postgame pressers as 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.960 the team struggled to be even the Detroit Pistons two 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.560 nights ago. And let's face it, if you can barely 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.320 beat the Pistons, you are having a real hard time. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.480 If you need forty five from Dame to beat the 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.000 Detroit Pistons, you are a really, really bad defensive team. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.400 And yeah, I know Drew's gone in Dame's turnstile, but 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.600 that just is not enough of an excuse for you 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:49.160 to be so fucking bad. Griffin thought he was going 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.760 to create some new plan about how to become a 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.159 better defensive team, despite the fact that his roster did 0:05:55.160 --> 0:06:01.000 not really align with his quote unquote scheme. Honest, it 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:08.360 was really fucking terrible. He wanted to bring brook Lopez 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:13.000 up further in drop coverage and then get proceeded to 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.839 get roasted at the room so much so that a 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.320 fucking coup, Like two games into the season was stage 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.400 where they said, no, no, our defensive player of the year, 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.599 guy who is getting blocks on blocks on blocks, you 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.880 need to let him do that. He's not a guy 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.040 who's gonna athletically stay with somebody in pick and roll. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.039 They refuse to adapt to his new defensive scheme that 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.479 clearly wasn't working and he didn't have the personnel to 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.560 make it work anyway. So instead of instead of going 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.919 back to Budenholzer's scheme or simplifying, he just put his 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.640 feet down. He also talked about the fact that his 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.440 whole team went against him and he basically had to 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.799 capitulate the man ran Terry's s thoughts out of town 0:06:55.880 --> 0:07:00.840 before there was ever a game. And if you don't 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.880 remember Terry Stotts, shame on you. Damian Lillard's head coach 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.440 for nine years. He was there before Damian Lillard even 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.520 got there, and then was supposed to help with the 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.360 offense and for some reason they had some sort of 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.880 tiff and he was deuces. Joe Prunty again is the 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:24.880 interim head coach aka I don't know what he's going 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.720 to be doing, but the leading candidate to replace him 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.760 full time. You won't believe it. You won't believe it. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.760 If I say it, You'll say, Trista, you're lying. You'll say, Trista, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.280 I don't believe you. You'll say, how can this guy 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.640 get another job. If we know that this team right 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:48.040 now under Adrian Griffin is good in the standings, but 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.480 where if we're honest with ourselves as in the true 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:55.080 contender and being mediocre despite the roster that says they 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.800 should be really good, it's not acceptable in its championship. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.600 Then this can't be the leading candidate. You can't pitch 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.320 me him, And I tell you no, No, he's not 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.680 only the leading candidate, he's already been embedded in the 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:22.360 team like a snake. Snake. Yes, folks, Doc fucking Rivers 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:28.880 the snake himself. He has been signed on since December 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:35.320 as a consultant while working for ESPN and helping Adrian 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.760 Griffin get his feet wet, all the while going back 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.640 to management and saying this guy ain't got it and 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.080 he's gonna take this man's job after being fired for 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.680 doing the exact same thing that Adrian Griffin did, only 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.679 for many, many, many, many many more years. Look at 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.160 the way that he's been sneak diss in the bucks 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:06.040 in the media. This is fucking outrageous. I would rather 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.280 see the return of Mike Budenholzer. Yeah, let's just get random. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:16.200 Let's get random. Dame just shoot from thirty. Dame, We're 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.280 gonna have a lot more on this. But if if 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:23.320 Doc Rivers, if Doc Rivers gets hired, then all I 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.200 can say is thank you to Jimmy Haslam, because then 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.800 I will know for sure, Dame Willard, We'll never get 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:37.320 that fucking ring. Let's move on. That would just be 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.920 a shame. Let's move on. There's so much going on 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.360 inside the association. My head is spinning. Monday night turned 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.560 out to be one of the craziest nights in recent memory. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.120 Jaron Jackson had six steals in the first quarter. Hit 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.560 six steals the first quarter. That is insane. I wouldn't 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.560 That's not even gonna make the podcast. That's how good 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.840 the scoring, that's how good the performances were. It reminded 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.160 me we got to talk about something I've been meaning 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.560 to talk about this. There's a lot of people right 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.320 now that are older than me to think that the 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.400 NBA fucking sucks right now. They think that it's worse 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.559 than it's ever been, and I am here to tell 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.360 you no, it is actually the opposite. We are now 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:23.360 living in the Golden Age, the renaissance of scoring. It 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.720 is become and it's not because nobody plays defense either. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:32.360 It is because the players themselves have turned themselves into 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:37.760 cheat coats. If you saw Joel Embiid anytime this season, 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.760 you will know exactly what I'm talking about. Old heads like, yeah, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.839 nobody hustles, blah blah blah, nobody bangs. You don't even 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.640 remember what it was like in the era of magic 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.080 and bird blah blah blah. We don't care about that. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.160 Look at Nikola Jokic and Aunt Edwards and LaMelo Ball 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.920 and Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Durant and Embiid so so 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.840 many more. Their footwork, their ability to get to the rim, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.160 their ability to have counters on their counters to score, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.400 their abilities to just figure out a way to maneuver 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.360 their body. It is so much fun. Look at what 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.200 has happened in the last five days in the NBA. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:23.040 Tatum went off for thirty eight eleven and five. Jalen 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.760 Brunson went for forty one to eight and eight. This 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.680 is a man who some people are saying is not 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.000 even in an All Star forty one, eight and eight. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.079 If he is not an All Star, think about what 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.760 that means for the NBA. Okay, including at twenty in 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.600 the fourth quarter in a win over the Wizards. Yo 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.319 Kich forty two, twelve and eight over the Wizards. Do 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.920 you see a trend here? By the way get games 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.440 against the Wizards. Booker put up fifty two in a 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.559 blowout win against the Pelicans on Friday. Durant had forty 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.280 in a back to back games, including one without shooting 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.440 a single free throw. But all of that, all of 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:05.680 that takes a back seat to Jojo Joel Embiid. Why 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.800 Joel Embiid on Monday night went off for seventy fucking 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:16.240 points seventy seventy I thought when it was trending on Twitter, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.960 it was a mistake. I thought there was no shot. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.559 The man Joel Embiid has been putting up thirty five, 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.880 putting his hard head on, and then sitting his ass 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:32.120 down against this team. I thought to myself, there's no 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:37.199 chance he plays more than three quarters seven zero seventy 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.760 as in more one more than sixty nine nice. I 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.640 think it's very difficult for me to process right now. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.240 I don't understand that is a figure that, in the 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.960 grand scheme of things, makes no sense. From nineteen sixty 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:54.160 three to two thousand and two, the NBA had four 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.920 seventy point games. There's now been three in the last 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.200 thirteen months. That's where we're at right now. The Golden 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.959 Age is scoring. Embiid is only the ninth player in 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.800 history to score seventy only the third seven footer, and 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.600 he did it shooting two threes only. He is only 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.640 the second player in history to have a sixty five, 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.160 fifteen and five or better night. The other guy not 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:25.120 Wilt Michael Jordan, speaking of will, Joel Embiid is actually, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:29.560 if you look at it, playing better than Wilt is. 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.920 He is scoring more points per minute this season than 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.880 Wilt Chamberlain, when he averaged fifty points per game. Joel Embiid, 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.679 if he played all four quarters all the games that 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.800 he's played, would be averaging fifty. I mean, that's just 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.600 not even that's not even a debate. He is so 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.839 good right now. If if Joel Embiid can make it 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.600 to the finish line with sixty five played games and 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.600 Jokic continues to play this way, I don't I don't 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.680 know how they don't just give two of them away. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.800 I don't know why they don't just give them both. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.040 MVPs are now the MVP's co for the next decade. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.440 That's where we're at right now. In his last ten games, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.360 MBAT has gone off for forty eleven and six with 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.120 three steals and blocks in thirty five minutes per game. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.200 Can you process that? Can you put your little mind 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:25.040 to understanding how you score more than one point per minute? Yeah, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.080 he gets the ball, he jab steps, and he shoots 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.480 over you, and you know pretty much what it feels 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.520 like is one hundred percent of the time it's going 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.720 in splash unless you foul him, and then he's going 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.680 to the free throw line and he's splash splashed. The 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.200 Sixers are eight and two in those games. In the 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.960 last ten games, they're covering numbers two. I know they 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.440 didn't cover two nights ago, but boy, oh boy, was 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.320 it close. This is the new NBA, and if you 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.640 don't like it, then go the fuck home. I don't 0:14:53.640 --> 0:15:00.360 care about you. These guys are so incredibly gifted. Saying 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.000 this the other night, when Embiid misses a shot, I'm 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.960 actually surprised, and you're talking about a guy who is 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.200 seven feet two and you are actually shocked when he 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.840 takes a guy face up and he and he puts 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.880 it up. How good was it? How good is seventy 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.280 points by Joel EMBII. Let's check in with Durant and 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.360 see what he has to say. I don't know if 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.320 you saw Joel and did score seventy? Cat has sixty seventy, Yeah, 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:31.160 Joe has seventy today, Yes, seventy. So what did Knights 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:31.800 like to that mean? 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:32.920 In the NBA? 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:38.280 Shit, it's insane what we got going on. We got 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:44.400 bigs hitting ten threes, hitting ten threes. When you when 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.800 Kat puts up forty three and you give him someone 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:52.640 else's stat line and his response is shit, us, WHOA 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.600 you have done something historic? This is the peak of 0:15:55.600 --> 0:16:02.480 basketball people. Last night lost in NBA Historic night. Victor womeny, 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.000 I'm also incredible. In twenty eight minutes he put up 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.120 thirty three points rookie ten for nineteen two or five 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.600 from three, seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks. He was great. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.920 Even if even if you got torched by MB, you're 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.800 not stopping that man. You're not stopping that man. In fact, 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.280 Victor gave a great rationale for why we are in 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.040 the golden age of scoring, the return of the big man. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.880 He said this a few years back. It was more 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.360 of a guard's game. But now it's gonna come back 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.120 to a big man's game. I think it makes sense 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.120 in terms of the game. We got guys, some guys 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.640 all around the league who do a lot of stuff 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.880 despite being very tall. It's just the way the game 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.800 changes now we got to adapt. Yeah, I mean, it's 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.440 not really a big man's game, Victor, it's a guards game. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.000 And those guards happened to be seven feet tall. That's 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.560 what it is. That's what it is. Watch Shoell Mbid's footage, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.960 Watch old Kobe footage and tell me those men aren't 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.560 the same. I'm not even supposed to be getting hyped 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:05.040 up like this. Watch Kobe's footage, Watch Joel Embiid's footage 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.000 and tell me those men aren't doing the same thing 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.879 out there. The back to the basket moves that Joel 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.120 Embiid has, the face up moves midy right in your 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.880 fucking face like a killer. Oh yeah, by the way, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.440 that was on the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's eighty one 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.160 point performance. You don't think that was lost. You think 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.800 that was lost on the players who put up crazy 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:34.160 numbers trying to become Kobe. Kobe embid is shooting forty 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.160 two percent from three, Chet thirty nine percent from three, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.720 Jokic thirty five percent from three. And that's just the 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.200 regular season. Watch what what jo Jokic does in the playoffs, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.080 shooting fifty percent from three in the playoffs. Kevin Durant, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.359 who is let's be honest, he's seven feet tall, but 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.880 he calls himself six to ten because you know why 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.439 not forty six percent from three? It is still the 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:59.240 age of the guard. But there's seven feet two, seven 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.760 feet tall. How oh, if you're Damian Lillard, do you survive? 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:08.800 This is why Aunt Edwards and Anthony Black and kids 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:13.280 who are six seven to six nine with guard skills. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:18.639 That's why they like Survival of the Fittest are eating six' 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:23.000 one guards and spitting them to THE g. League if 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:24.840 you are six foot one right, now you should be. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.960 Terrified if you are a college player and you are 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.160 under six five six six sixty seven and you play, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:36.199 Guard i'm, sorry you might think about playing In. China 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:40.320 this is going. Down this shit is going down every. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.520 Night who is gonna be, Today who's gonna be? Tomorrow 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.560 is gonna be? Honest going for fifty sixty, Seventy Donovan 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.760 mitchell going for, Seventy dame going for, EIGHTY i mean 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.280 probably Not dame going for Eighty with This bucks, team 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.480 let's be, honest because their offense doesn't work right, Now but, 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.639 shit would you be shocked If Terry, rozier who just 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.560 got traded to The, heat goes for one't I Tyler 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.280 hero forty. FIVE i mean we got let's be, real 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.600 we got real mid guys that can put up. Fifty 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.119 that just shows you that the league's really really good right. 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.159 Now between ninety five and two, thousand here are the 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.159 following players who scored fifty or more. Points Michael jordan 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:24.840 did it three, Times ai, Twice shack, Twice Malone's rapin' ass, 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:29.200 Twice Cliff robinson, Once Vince carter, Once mahmood Abdul raouf 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.560 once claps to me for pronouncing that, Correctly Aki malaijuan, 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.240 Once Alonzo morning, Once Tracy murray. Once ten different players 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.119 put up fifteen to fifty point games in five. Years 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.680 let's go into the modern. Numbers just last, year there 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:51.080 were twenty five fifty point games from fifteen different. Players 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:56.600 Luka doncic four, Times Damian lillard three, Times Joel embiid three, 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:01.439 Times Devin booker two, Times giannis, Twice curry, Twice Donovan mitchell, 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:07.680 Once Julius, Randall Ad Clay, Thompson, Shocker Pascal, Siakam Darius, Garland, 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:12.480 Wooh Drew, Holliday Jason, tatum And Jannis. OH i already 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:17.119 Said Janis jannis did it. Twice there have been eleven 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.359 fifty points or more games already this year and we 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:26.399 are halfway. Through do you think that things are exponentially getting, bigger, better, faster, 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:31.960 stronger better, footwork just more? Buckets so, Yes if you 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:36.320 don't like, it then probably start billions or. SOMETHING i don't, 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.439 know BUT i personally love, it just LIKE i love me. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.960 Some Joel, embiid he is. Enough him And Kelly ubra 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.320 And Tyrese maxi And Nick nurse are enough to get 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.119 me to fall in love with The sixers. TEAM i 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.240 truly believe this is the best team in The, east 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.200 AND i Think Joel embiid And Nick nurse probably Name 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.320 let's move on some quick news from around the. League 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:04.359 as an addend To joel embiid seventy, POINTS i would 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.320 be remiss not to mention That Karl Anthony towns had 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.520 a career night himself had a franchise record in, fact 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.320 and it was very much related to What Joel embid 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.040 did was. Doing So towns was going. Crazy had forty 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:21.280 four in the first. Half he was the first player 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.360 in history to hit ten, threes ten twos and ten 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:28.160 free throws in the, game goes off for sixty. Two the, problem, 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:32.560 though is that The wolves found out that fifty THE 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.480 embiid had fifty at, half and they decided they were 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.400 going to try to go toe to toe With. Embiid 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:43.359 they were going to try to game the system to 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.720 get Karl Anthony towns to put up M b type. 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:53.600 Numbers and here's the. Problem statadding for Karl Anthony towns 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.320 or anyone can lead to big. Problems and it worked 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.480 for a. While kat had fifty eight by the end 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.560 of the third. Quarter but the problem was that The 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.560 Charlotte hornets also were trying to make shots and they 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.960 weren't gonna lay down and die just because Carl Anthony 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.399 towns wanted to score seventy as. Well in, fact The, 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:11.960 hornets knowing That minnesota was just going to Give cat 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:13.680 the ball in the fourth quarter and that was pretty 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:15.800 much all that they were going to. Do they, decided 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.560 we'll just send everybody at, them triple, team quadruple, Team 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.959 and of Course Karl Anthony, towns his ego kept missing, 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.560 shots would not. Pass The hornets outscored The wolves thirty 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:28.760 six eighteen in the fourth quarter and one by. Three 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:34.159 Only Karl Anthony towns could do. This only only he 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:39.120 could turn the best performance in his career to something 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.879 that makes me like him. Less guests who also was 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.480 pissed about the stat padding his head, coach let's listen. 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:52.439 In it was an absolute disgusting performance of defense and 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:58.440 immature basketball all the way through the. Game so it 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.600 really didn't slip. Away been there from the Jont so 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.400 this is what happens when you have this type of. 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:10.200 Approach, disgusting when your own coach is roasting the whole 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:14.119 team because you wanted to go toe for toe With 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.680 joe L, embiid who can go for seventy quite, casually 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.399 and you need to make a concerted effort to get. 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:25.840 Points this is just So Karl Anthony. Towns Chris finch 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.119 has every right to be. Pissed The wolves are a 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:29.960 really good. Team they're number one in The. West they're 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.920 a great defensive. Team but when you allow The Charlotte 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:36.280 hornets to beat, you oh, baby it's not a good. 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.560 Sign shouldn't hurt him in the long, run but it 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:40.879 does go to show you that they have a, weakness 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:45.120 and that's how you exploit. It Exploit Karl Anthony towns's 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:51.439 oversized ego that is masking his insecure behavior and his 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:56.639 soul and, maybe just maybe you can dethrone them in the. 0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.679 Playoffs let's move. On there was a major trade that 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.280 went on big implications in The Eastern. Conference i'm sure 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.200 some teams are not happy about the. Move Miami heat 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:09.880 finally pulled the. Trigger decided By Kyle lowry you. Stink 0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.440 they send him twenty twenty seven first round pick to 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:16.439 The Charlotte hornets for Scary Terry Terry. Rozier we've been 0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:18.520 talking about this trade for a while. Now there's been 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:24.760 pictures Of Terry rosier photoshopped and heat, gear and he's liking. 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.440 Them he's talking about heat. Culture he's putting a photos 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:33.000 on His instagram of heat. BANNERS i, mean it was 0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.400 very obvious he wanted to go to the Heat he 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.000 was telegraphing that all the. Way he's averaging twenty three 0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:39.920 point two points per game right, now along with six 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.600 point six, assists also a career. High he IS i 0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:46.840 think one of the more underrated guards in the league 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.080 because he's playing For. Charlotte nobody really knows who he. 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.320 IS i told somebody about him when the trade went, 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.760 down and they, said who's. That you're gonna find out 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.560 who he. Is if you're a casual. Fan he's going 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:02.199 to fit heat cold like a. Glove the kid is 0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:06.040 about as hard As rocks. Pause he's a, younger faster 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.359 version Of Kyle. Lowry he doesn't play nearly as good a, 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.400
