Got our new home. 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:14.040 For those of you who are watching on Peacock, you 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.960 can also listen three hundred sixty two radio affiliates around 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.840 the country. Boys are here, ready to go. We'll talk 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.799 to the great Al Michaels. He'll join us a little 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.920 bit later on Chris Webber NBA on TNT. After yesterday's 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.840 fireworks in the postseason eight seven seven three D P 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.400 show email address DP of Dan Patrick dot com Twitter 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.800 hand to a TP show. Mclovin will come up with 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.600 a poll question. Ethan does all of our stats? And 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.920 of course, who can forget the contributions that Ethan makes 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:48.640 to this program? Good morning, mcleven. Which one. I'm already 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.640 hurting because Luca Doanti is the best player in the 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.720 NBA and I can't like disrespect him anymore. And then 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.240 you throw Ethan at me and your seventy six ers 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.880 get swept by the Boston Celtics seventies. I don't know 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.560 a team you speak of. You did not have a 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.920 good weekend, mclovin. Now you did not have a good 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.280 weekend at all. I was screaming at the TV cover, Luca, 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.640 Everyone's gonna make fun of me? Did you make it 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:15.119 on TV? During the seventy Sixers game, I'm Paula's telling 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.120 me to hold that. Oh, it's a hold. We have 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.920 a reveal for you, Dan Ooh, okay, that'll be a 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.280 little bit later on mclovin I believe was at the 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.360 seventy sixers game against the Boston Celtics, may or may 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.480 not have been. Yeah, did you know the Sixers were 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.960 gonna get swept in? That was? Well? We talked about 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.119 the Eastern Conference and I said, you're going to have 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.760 really no competition there. There's not going to be any 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.760 good series there, and for the most part, there wasn't. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.000 And we thought that there could be a couple of sweeps. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.960 If you would have said that the Nets we're gonna 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.800 get swept, then I would have agreed with that, and 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.040 I would have agreed that Milwaukee would sweep Orlando. Orlando 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.400 took the first one. But as far as Boston in 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.360 Philadelphia yesterday now, is the process still continuing in Philadelphia? 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.760 Because I don't know how long a process takes mclovin. 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.800 I think you're restarting the tank again. I say, yes, Paul. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.640 Should it be processed like it's over it? Yeah? I 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.520 think that's past tense. I don't know what tenses. Just 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.120 put a stamp of you know, processed on it and 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.880 then ship it down the road. Ye. Yeah, not good. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.840 You probably got a coach who's dead man walking and 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.840 Brett Brown, and then you got to decide what you 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.160 want to do with Joe LMBD and or Ben Simmons. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.040 Remember they brought in al Horford. They brought in al 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.280 Horford because they wanted to improve the locker room, so 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.280 they paid a guy one hundred million dollars to come 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.519 in and help out in the locker room. That doesn't 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.359 seem like a good process. That doesn't because if Joe 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.920 lmb doesn't know how to be a grown up, or 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.359 Ben Simmons can't be a leader, and you bring in 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.679 Al Horford from the Celtics and you go, yeah, he's 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.280 stolen him from Boston, and you know what he's really 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.240 good at. He's got a really good voice in the 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.280 locker room. He's a leader. Apparently not that good a 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.960 leader because I don't know if anybody was Singdal Horford 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.560 certainly not Joe l mbid. Yeah. McLevin, are you going 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.320 to have mentioned that they traded the pick that could 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.880 have been Jason Tatum from Marquel Faults. We've already gone 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:14.080 down that road before that one hurt Jelil Okafour. We 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.600 could continue new Lands Noel, Yes, I have more bad news. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.040 The seventy six ers next year. Oh, Tobias Harris thirty 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.000 three million, Al Horford twenty seven million, they Omb thirty 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.960 million and Simmons thirty million next season. Yeah, good luck 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.440 with them. You know, big numbers can be deceiving for 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.000 NBA players. Sometimes guys are graded filling stat sheet and 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.160 they don't win. Now, this has been mclevin's big knock 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.360 on Luka don Chick Like, okay, so he puts up 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.800 big numbers, everybody puts up big numbers. Let's see if 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.720 he does it in the postseason. McLevin can't make that 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.920 argument anymore, certainly not after yesterday, playing on a sprained ankle, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.160 Don Chick goes for forty three, seventeen and thirteen, racing 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.160 a twenty one point deficit against the Clippers, then coldly 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.360 draining the game winner in over time as time expires, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.320 so the series is now two games apiece. When the 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.440 playoffs started, I said, if the Lakers were playing the MAVs, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.440 the media would make the MAVs out to be giant killers. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.080 But the fact that they were playing the Clippers, people 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.120 weren't talking about Dallas pulling off the upset. They should 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.880 be up three games to one. They didn't even have 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.960 Kris stop sports Zingis yesterday, and Don Chick does this 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.799 against the Clippers. So here we are two games apiece. 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.600 I don't know where we are with Kris stops Portzingis. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.520 Doc Rivers has got a problem here. Now. It's never 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.880 as big a problem as the Lakers, because the Lakers 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.200 are the most prominent team in LA and in the NBA. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.000 But the Clippers might be a better all around team 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.680 than the Lakers. And you can't get everybody on the 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.000 same page, you know, playoff p Paul George small p 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.320 hasn't done anything here. Kawai played well, Lou Williams played well. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.320 For the life of me, I've never been told the 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.719 philosophy that I'm going to agree with when it comes 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.760 to a game winning shot, potential game winning shot, and 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.320 the star player has the ball, single coverage. I don't 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.720 get it, don't understand it. All I want to do 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.760 is get the ball out of Luka don Chick's hands. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:17.320 If Seth Curry beats me, great, Tim Hardaway Junior beats me, great. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.840 The best player will never beat me. And what did 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.160 we have yesterday? Kawhi Leonard mister two way, best two 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.720 way player, best player in the game. He's better than Lebron. Okay, 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.560 you got your moment here, Paul George one of the 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.720 great wing defenders. Oh, they played grades on the you know, Okay, 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.680 you got it. Here you go, here's your moment. And 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:45.240 what happens? Reggie Jackson gets switched off on Luka don 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.200 Chick Don check hits a tough shot, But why is 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.720 Reggie Jackson single coverage on Luka don Chick. As soon 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.000 as Luca gets it, I go after him. That's it. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.440 I want him to pass the ball now. They might 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.480 score two, then we go into another overtime. But I 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.520 can't let him take the shot. There's certain guys who 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.800 want the ball in those situations. I can't let you 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.560 have it. And Luca didn't shy away from it. But 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.719 Reggie Jackson on Luca don Chick is not a fair fight, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.280 and I don't understand that. But they come back, they 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.719 tie the series, and you know a lot of times, 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.159 you'll have a moment that announces to the world, the 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.080 sports world, not to basketball world, the sports world, Hey 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.679 that now we've seen something special. You know, Michael Jordan 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.400 had that famous shot over Craig Elo. Now it's not 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.000 the same because Jordan had a legendary college career, hit 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.599 the game winning shot to win a national title. This 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.080 was Jordan's coming out party with the playoffs, because you know, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.239 Jordan bowed out in the first round a few times 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:56.080 in the playoffs. But now you got this skill set 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.159 with don Chick, and maybe he takes his game and 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.039 the MAVs game to another level because that's where legacies 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.840 are born. You got to be great in the postseason. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.240 As great as Lamar Jackson is, he's not Patrick Mahomes 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.600 because Patrick Mahomes has his Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson can 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:19.720 win an MVP. Winning in the postseason is where you 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.239 That's a status that you can't reach by just putting 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.520 up numbers. You must have a win. And the whole 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.760 country was watching, the whole NBA was watching when you 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.880 had everybody tweeting out about Luca don Chick, the players 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:40.000 he plays against, We're like, whoa. You know, Steph Curry, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.680 you had a couple of guys with the Atlanta Hawks, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.600 you had guys with the Lakers. You're like, they were 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.280 all going like, whoa, we're seeing something really special here. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.320 But as you move on with this series, I don't 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.119 know Porzingis, who had a question mark with his knee 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.240 not able to play. You know, Clipper has got to 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.240 start looking great here pretty soon because once you get 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.640 into this next round, if you get into this next round, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.080 you've got to be a lot more consistent than you've been. 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.440 And it feel like it felt like the Clippers up 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.200 twenty one. No, Porzingis, all right, we got this one. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.800 We're gonna go up three games to one. And then 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.000 the Nuggets in the Jazz like that was really tasty. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:26.120 Jamal Murray put up fifty and it was Donovan Mitchell 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.360 was great as well. So I know, scoring is up. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.840 This could be the highest scoring postseason in the last 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.240 thirty five years in NBA history. I don't know what 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.720 the reason is, because you don't have a home court 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.120 advantage unless that is the reason why that you're not 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.880 going on the road, that everybody's playing the same facility here, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.920 but defense is optional here. Yeah, Seton, Is it maybe 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.920 just a hyper focus on basketball right now while you're 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.520 in the bubble. Could be I ask Chris Webber this, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.680 But you know, maybe all you have to do is 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:04.960 just play basketball. Maybe go fish played golf a little bit. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.720 But it might be that. But I'm looking at you know, 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.280 you're averaging the NBA's on pace for the high scoring 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.760 postseason in thirty five years. The average for all playoff 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.200 games is two hundred and twenty six points combine per game, 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:25.560 two hundred and twenty six. And I'm watching yesterday with Murray. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.839 Murray played forty three minutes, he had fifty points, he 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.679 had seven assists, he didn't commit a turnover, fifty points 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.360 and they lose. You know, we always go back to Utah, 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.360 And I thought, I don't give him too much of 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.720 a chance. Conley left because his wife was giving birth. Bogdanovitch, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.680 who was probably their second best player, goes out with 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.200 the risk surgery. And I thought at the beginning of 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.000 the year that was a team that could challenge for 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.200 the Western Conference. And then all of a sudden, here 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.719 they are putting the pieces back together. And I think 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.240 most people thought Denver had the chance to be a 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.920 spoiler in the West because of Bowl Bull and Michael 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.120 remember that talk that didn't last long. They got Bowl 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.880 Bull and they got Michael Porter Junior. They got the 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.679 joker here, they got Jamal Murray and they have all 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.120 those items. But give credit to Utah because that was 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.920 pretty amazing yesterday. All right, we got a pull question. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.480 By the way, best and worst of the weekend, as 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.440 we always do, what you saw that you liked, you 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.760 didn't like?

We keep 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.160 getting that question, does it have to be just sports? No, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.079 we can be on anything as long as you think 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.560 it's sustainable that you could put out at least ten episodes. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.120 That's all I'm asking a chance.

Mick Levin, what kind 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.360 of poll question you have for me today? Okay, if 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:37.160 we ask today who's coming out of the West Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Rockets, Mavericks, 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.160 is it the Lakers who wins that poll? Well, all 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.760 of a sudden, the Lakers are all better, right, they 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.400 had the game one loss and then all know the 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.679 sky's falling, and now they're playing a little bit better. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.080 And now we don't look at this as possibility of 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.920 them being upset by the Portland Trailblazer. Lakers still have issues, 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.280 it's just Portland was not going to I think exacerbate 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:05.440 those issues. The next round, probably those issues will be 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:10.199 front and center on a more consistent basis. But I'm 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.800 going to guess you'd probably still get the Lakers. I 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:19.200 haven't seen greatness out of the Clippers, and goodness is 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.280 not going to get you to the Western Conference finals. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.520 I got to see some greatness here, and I need 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.880 to see some consistency, So I would say the Lakers 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.480 out of the West. What else do you have? I 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.760 was going to ask who wins this Clippers NAV series? 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.920 I think that'd be close to fifty fifty. It might be, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.839 but I would still say the Clippers because I don't 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.560 know Porzingis's status. I think he had an MRI or 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.080 is having an MRI. Can I ask Luca to do 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.600 this again and you are raised to twenty one point deficit. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.560 I mean, donchak is twenty one years of age, but 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.840 you're you're asking now he got help though, Curry and 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.000 Trey Burke, I mean they got they had some help yesterday, 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.640 But I got to have Porzingis in there. And if 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.920 you say Porzingis is healthy, then this might come down 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.520 to a sixty forty. People would think the Clippers over 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:13.199 the Maps. I mean, the maps are They're legitimate. They 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.920 were the one of the highest scoring teams in the 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.680 NBA and you got a guy who was making everybody 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.280 else better, not just one dimensional. Yeah, mcclub another Paul 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.000 former Trede Brooks former team the Sixers. If they were 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.360 going to trade, what are these guys, Ben Simmons or 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.960 embiad Who would you trade? You know what bothers me 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.360 about Joe l Embiid is his body language. You know, 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.480 this is where you want a great player to be great. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.760 You're not going to beat the Celtics, you're not gonna 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.120 win the series, but this is where you have to say, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.840 in these moments, you can count on me to still 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:49.400 be great and body language wise, because he is. He's 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.480 got this ability to take over a game and really 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.720 be a top five player. I just don't know if 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.000 you can't occasionally want to be or act like the 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.640 one of the top five players. A top five player 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.120 is great. I can count on him. He talks like 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.560 a great player, a top five player. He just doesn't 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.080 act like it. And the problem I see with the 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:16.000 Sixers is there's a general malaise there that just says, yeah, 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.320 and we're not any good. We're gonna get our coach 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.160 fired here. Yeah, Ton, And it's tough to be a 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.240 leader and then have that immature response he had after 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.760 the game. I know you're frustrated and he just got swept, 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.360 but he was asked a very legitimate question that anybody 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.800 should feel comfortable asking, and for him to react the 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.840 way he did that though, was a poor job. Yeah. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.960 I thought it was embarrassing. Here's the question and Joe 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.360 l Embiid's response, what do you think the issue is 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.560 with this team? I mean, do you think it's the 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.840 way it's bill, Do you think it's coaching. Do you 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.560 think it's the bad luck with the injuries, all of 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.840 the evovel as you say the issue that's a that's 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.760 a that's a very stupid question, does not issue. We're good, 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.800 We're just damn't win. We came out, we couldn't make 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:02.240 shots the whole series. So men like it's frustrating, you know, 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.160 I felt like everybody played hard, we try, you just 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.240 didn't fall. And then thoms defense was not good. It's 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:15.880 not a stupid question. It wasn't a well structured question. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.520 Just ask what is wrong? You don't have to give 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.600 him like, let me give you five options here. You 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.960 know this is in the SAT. What went wrong with 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.640 his team this year? That's all you need to ask. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.080 I mean, you got swept, you have questions. It wasn't 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.800 just Ben Simmons being injured. I mean, look at the 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.960 Brooklyn Nets, and as much as I don't like Kyrie, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.640 I love what I saw with the Nets. They played 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.960 hard every single game. They played like they wanted their 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.000 coach to be hired full time shock vun They played 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.600 like they wanted or felt like they could win every game. 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.240 Now they didn't, and they got roughed up by the Raptors, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.920 which we thought they would. But you know, there's a 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.560 big difference here. Those guys didn't have necessarily the talent, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.440 but they did have the attitude to go out there 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.480 and play hard. Remember when they beat the Bucks, they 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.960 were eighteen and a half point underdogs, and that's when 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.360 everybody goes, Wow, wait a minute, the Nets without Kyrie 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:22.240 and KD and they beat the Bucks, and look, the 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.400 Raptors are dangerous team, probably the best team in the East. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.880 But the Nets played hard every single game. And the 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.640 problem I have with what I saw the Sixers, there 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:37.120 was no enthusiasm. There was no sense of urgency whatsoever. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.320 And you pay the price. But Joe lmbid be a 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.800 leader answer the question you got swept. We'll take a break. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.240 We'll talk to Chris Webber get his thoughts on a 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:50.080 variety of things, including why would you just have one 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.160 person on Luca John Chick with the game on the 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.240 line that's coming up next your phone calls as well, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.120 best and Worst for the weekend, and the great Al 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.840 Michaels a little bit later on as well.

I think we've come 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.639 up with a new T shirt given the fact that 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.199 this is the highest scoring postseason in the last thirty 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.880 five years in the NBA. There's no d in Orlando, 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.320 so it's just a T shirt that has the logo 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.919 and it's Orlando. I think that that would probably be 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.879 pretty appropriate considering what's going on. So for Chris Webber 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.720 didn't play any defense. TNT's coverage in the NBA Playoffs 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.040 continues tonight with the triple header starting at four eastern. 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.280 Chris Webber will be on the call for game for 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.760 tonight between the Lakers and the Blazers at nine eastern. 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.879 Good morning, see Webb. How are you? Good morning? How 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.560 are you doing today? I'm doing okay. Why have we 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.040 seen these crazy numbers as far as scoring the highest 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.639 scoring postseason in the last thirty five years. Well, you know, 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.840 I said before this whole experience that I thought the 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.119 bubble was the great equalizer. What I meant by that was, 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.399 you know, the momentum isn't as tangible. You know, if 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.840 you're a first year player in the playoffs, it's it's 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.560 not as intimidating. You don't have thousands of fans on 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:03.239 that the energy you saw porzingis get a technical in 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.359 his first game, where I expected that from young guys. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.160 He's been waiting to be in the playoffs for five years, 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.320 So how do you manage that emotion? And here you 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.640 don't have to along with the travel, you know after games, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.920 you know you usually last night you have left around 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:16.960 one thirty in the morning, got to a hotel on 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.480 the West coast, the longest travel four thirty in the morning, 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.159 had to eat, wake up this morning, and have meetings, 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:23.800 and so you don't have any of that, and everyone 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.600 has the same routine. And I think that that's allowed 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.480 for just some really good play along with this is 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.800 the most rested we've ever seen any players heading to 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.720 the playoffs, and I think rest has a lot to 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.320 do with it because of the hiatus. Explain this to me, 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.200 because I'm still waiting to find an answer that I 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.560 never want the best player on the floor to have 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.600 the ball with the chance to win the game. I 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.119 would run two people at you. I want you to 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.919 give up the ball. The Clippers allowed to have Luca 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.560 to get the ball, and then even a switch on 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.439 defense that Reggie Jackson ended up with him. I know that. 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.679 I look at the end result and he made. I 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.960 just don't like single coverage on the great players, and 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.000 that was my biggest issue. Well, I had a few 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.760 issues with the Clippers, but that one. Explain that to me. Yeah, no, 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.160 I agree with you. I just think the fact though, 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.800 that because Kawhi was on him, I think it was miscommunication. 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.920 And so first of all, you're writing your strategy, take 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.080 it out the hot man's hands, you know. But the 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.240 problem is on that team, you still have Hardaway and 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.639 others that could shoot, but I'd rather have them shoot 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.919 before Luca. But that switch, once you get into it, 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.400 and that's the way that it was. And you gotta 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.000 look at the brilliance of his move with It's a 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.080
