So there you go so we did a double podcast this week or doing this is part one NBA me and Jackie Mack and then part two is going to be Warren Sharp eye. Itches been a great day. I've been doing podcast, oh my god, somebody just homered on the Red Sox. Now it's seventy one And a great day, I've been working all day doing park ass overdue, go again, my god. Yet you hear me a lifetime, react to our red Sox farmers, but work at all day and then the Red Sox winning these two seven any games with this. Stupid rule that we have seven in double headers, but when your team is winning the seven eight double header, it seems like the greatest of all time. The red Sox

I think this will be nine straight. My god and I feel, like I've, watched a lot of it. I'm just back with baseball. I cut it off last year I was so upset with the movie bed straight and I just was like. Oh I'm like this is it I might have outgrown baseball. I got my four world serious titles about, but this year the rhythm of the season everything turned, but that Jd Martinez hit right over the Tampa Bay Ride field. He seemed like it kind of misplayed it Rosaria but we win the game on that and the winning streak started, and it's nice that baseball back as they have a team with dugout chemistry. Somebody, hits a home run, they're healing them around in a cart thanks to have a team with bullpen arms evolve, looks like he's good, Alex Cora is back, and you take this red Sox team that was Twenty need one twin, the Ale EAST before the season, and

I don't know I watch the light. I watch more baseball, the basketball the last week and a half, I think, they're the best team they always put. They they have Chris sale. Coming back to put the Martine pressed by a fired up, I'm excited it is the Red Sox. This reminds me of twenty thirteen you just the lowest of low expectations. Then you watch them for a couple weeks, and I know my God just seems actually good plus the Yankees are in complete. Chaos go to New York. We're just Chomsky check that out, but I love that the the egg, the pitching pitching staffers completely overrated, which anyone with half a brain, could have probably guessed, but this is great. Baseball is back. The red Sox are good again, we have chemistry. We have our manager back. I fucking love it coming up part one, and Amac, talking MBA and then part two will be on a separate podcast, which will be putting up right after Mean Warren Sharp, talking NFL. This is being Jackie MAC. It's all coming up next first broke,

all right, Jackie Mcmullen, is here the hall hammer from the Spn. We are seventy five percent of the way through an NBA season that suddenly feels like a slog. You weren't complaining. I should be wearing all black today. For my boy, Jamal Murray man yeah, let's start there so that happens on Monday night. I was watching because I want to see if step core could get sixty points. Last five minutes. Is super disjointed Denver, just kind of won't go away, so they have to keep the starters out and then he clearly gets badly hurt and he's rolling around there's, no fans

You can actually hear him. You know the whole thing in this feels like this killed to Denver Seasons, not one because by the Thai, very true. But he comes back we'll be I don't know March April, they'd ACL stuff is usually eleven to thirteen months, but they'll be in the swing of the playoffs will be on a minute restriction, and this is a team that I was feeling like was a little sleeper. My biggest question with them was their bench, but I thought the Gordon trade they had the makings of something and now that sideways. But what was your reaction? Just did a big story about. I just got wrenching because though he was out before he missed. I think three or four games for rest on the other knee- and this is a kid that just place through everything in its biggest strengthen its biggest weakness, which delete you know some. The team had to sometimes protect him from self, which is what they were doing, which is

I was sitting with that. You know I just go back to what he told me in that story about how he felt like he was like a ground all day. It was. Every every day was in a: U tournaments, suffer it never ended, and that that that court really sticks in my head I know the league is sending out data that says there aren't any more during this year than other years, that you know that the games, or maybe there's a few more games. You know, sir, some between games and all that. But I don't know there are very, very high profile, injuries to people that don't normally get injured this year, and it just feels to me like we knew that this could happen. We knew that the in other covered curse is what I call it just having to come back so soon, again. Ah stress it again all those players that they were coming back in January and then all of a sudden they weren't and if nothing else, professional athletes are creatures of habit.

That plan their training and ramp up, especially older players like more broadly ramp, up their training with a certain date. Mine and I just What will never know? Also small thing people are talk about is how long it takes to test for covered, it doesn't it's just not like oh hey, come on in here at there's a procedure. It takes time it cuts into the the free time, the very little bit of free time players have home and away. So I just think all of these things have cast a little bit of a pall over this. This season I mean, if you You put a team together of of players that have had major injuries this year, you'd when they- be a championship right. You'd have Leubronn de Harden Durrant Tiree Jamal Marie I mean I know: I've missed somebody Michael Porter, Junior Jason Tatum, who have I missed

when there's a minute, there's a lot of them and you just wonder wonder what it all means you know yeah I'm torn on this because, like they were playing six games at nine days, basically there in this stretch where postal star break the numbers are higher, like. I think it's like three point: seven three point: seven five games per week for everything which is deeply higher. On the other hand, I think everybody's a lot better at managing minutes. This is it. This is You know what was going on even in the ninety nine season. The strike season, when you just saw some teams really wear out, because how physical the game was. They had just less stuff to think about back then that we're really good at now. We got from that hyperbaric chambers and infrared light on injuries and the true specific, specific physicians that no can look at somebody's way.

They stand and whether their bodies little bit off father stuff to me, the Murray Andrew, I think, happens in any season because he was playing her. He obviously had an issue with the other lay gray in that so often happens. We have the the building the structure the building gets knocked off. He of a problem on one side of your body and then and there putting more stress on the other body. So don't know I I just feel like we have major injuries every year. Different different about this year. To me is the minor injuries. Lebron thing would have happened in a year. Somebody fell into his leg, he's getting hurt, no matter season we're playing on. I guess, but he never does, but he never does to you know, that's the thing like you're right in every case, but it doesn't usually- and we haven't even talked about like way early forget about mark helpful, because that happened so long ago. Right does not feel like that opened at home their season. There may not happen the gate? Jonathan Isaac, you know one I'm looking at like that, like a Jimmy Butler who is just,

banged up this lawyer and even less than I was watching, you got hurt. He came back at it. It seems like especially for the final for teams from last year. Right beside a lotta there really banged up, and it makes sense to me because we were playing fireflies Gibson I don't even know what was it end of October MID October, I don't know early October, it's ridiculous. Whatever it was yeah and you see Toronto had some stuff too, and got decimated by Covet Toronto kind of had a little thing going on, and Nick Nurse was coaching, his rear, end off and then covet hit them and just wipe them out in there you no they're trying to recover now, but I don't know I guess anything's possum even though I am a games to, we have left Well, we're, whereas routines framework fly or through the three four out of the season

and this is normally like in a normal season. This would be right around when March madness starts when everybody's just kind of it's like a week to really to talk about Mvp right and it's two weeks early to talk about playoff match ups, but everybody's, just kind of like alright, let's get to the playoffs, which I'm feeling now the thing I've really noticed is the quality of basketball. Seems to be down there. There was one night, I think it was Friday or Saturday where every game was fifteen points are more was the final every single day the blow out. It seems that there is more blow out and more teams that are, They baling on the game midway through the game or two thirds. Way through the game that I can remember- and I think everybody is the same mindset wishes, but she gets her. The either we gotta than I am so, let's get to the end of the season. If we're not implanting, while you known its end, You know ironic, even that Celtics Nuggets Game, which is probably the biggest when the celtic season. You know yoke is getting into the rats a little bit. My come alone makes a decision. I mean that game.

Still within reach for the negative special against the Celtic. Through her, you know historic and the amount of leads they blow, my god you're right there at last night, any right any took yoke, a child you know- and he sat him down- and I thought everyone you know the announcers were questioning, I'm like. No, no, that's smart, because he's gonna get tied up and tossed or maybe teed up and say something gets suspended. He's tired, he's Many minutes at that point, Yokich wasn't playing. I mean Murray was still out from the other knee. So I understood Michael Malone, did that and but you know an under normal circumstances, you'd kind of scratch, your head a little bit, but the heat it look at the heat and you keep waiting right. It's you waiting for Tyler hero to be Tyler Hero- and maybe that's too much for us to ask for a kid- is only an insect here, but Bam on Bio is just another guy right now. It feels like to me- and I love Them- by, and I know is better than that and so what's going on there is he Nicht up? No there's just you look around and then yet the clippers they see their there like plan as well as they have been

again yet Callias out and now like whenever anybody sits me we're taping tonight and then, the nets and the Sixers are playing and Durant's out. If people are barking about that, I'm like are you kidding me? I keep them out after what you do you just come back back to back. Are you kidding me he's sit in that outfit him as much as I need to until we get to the playoffs? I'm not I'm not going to criticize any team at this at that point at this point for doing that will did you see Stephens this quote about where I was going to prioritize the health of our players over with This is out, came out, said like we're making the plants anyway, we don't really care what seed and especially this season and where you don't even really have the whole kind of home that you that you'd have had another years. That's why I thought the cuban courts were so weird These are all human there. Do you think I simmering we'll have this thing where he kind of trusted you usually have,

where there are not playing well each it. He does this thorough everyone off the scent controversy he each is kind of goes off and he's basically saying this is stupid. This is too hardener prayers but ironically, he said as right as they're playing terribly well you, you know, I think he was doing that's an old Geno Aria metric when he feels pressure for his players coming on he deflects and takes the pressure in if you did it all the time like if they lost a big game or they were under scrutiny, he would say something outrageous, usually about pat summits. Every would talk about that stumbling as players, and I feel it that's what cuban Dick has done, which is the first one that brought this up you can just piled on and so that everybody starting started talk about Cuba because he's the owner in re, so it so happens that might just be taken one for you, your player, I don't know, but I may it's kind of a kind of rings hollow Doesn't it rings a little hard me? I thought of any lame, even give out a devoted or it was unanimous. You voted for it because you didn t

he was gonna be anywhere near seventh place. I'm sure that woman Lukas complaining about the playing games saying, like you play all year than you know, two games, you could be out of sight, yeah, that's why us really good to be one of the top six teams right As a Greek, I dont disagree with them honestly cause I'm not a big fan of the plan for the reasons LUCA says, but I would they would hold a lot more weight with me. If a team in third place was saying it. Instead of the seventh place, team were like, like Jason, Tatum or jail brown sets out like that people would jump. Over time. You know, yeah morality is doubtless has been a good and their proper gimme, the sun by steam. It's you know that the West has been sixty dollars says that a lot of excuses we kept waiting for them that turn it on. It has really happened, and now in a position to members the foreseen right now we're heading and were taken as for these games, I think Denver probably drops because I thought there bench was weakened.

Way, and it was really a team that was as good as their best for five and now right taken Maria I just alone, I replaced the Murray offsets well to do. Do is Monti Morris's, probably one of the best kept back up guard secrets in the leg. The doesn't get nearly enough attention for he's. Pretty good is really good. Doubt really good. Now he's score the wage, a momentary scores porter, has been on an absolute tear, a pulse covered under the care of it like unbelief, and this is probably who made this is so we thought he was so yeah wonder if composite who really hasn't fit in with them. There is a lot of hype about him coming home in maybe he can pick a baby can get caught enough? He never. I watched Denver a lot and he never looks quite comfortable to me. Maybe now he can find a comfort level because he's going to get extra minutes. You know I think MIKE was still in him when Mary was out with the other injury and probably cause you want some punch office bench to bring Monti Morrison, but much more so makes him.

Will Barton had a little bit of a resurgence after that jade. You know, he's looked good too summits and Yoke he's, been the envy paying out what it's interesting. What will that, due to his chances, I'm sure he doesn't care? He doesn't care about that can stuff, but I mean he's use its percentage was already. I don't know in the thirty six. Semi. I think the only one who's usage presence was higher was Don judge in the whole week. I think it's a second but here's the real thing with Marie that two man Game Yoke which lives for it and he's. If you look, I don't have them in front of me the splits with yoga to versus both both them off but it'll. It blow your mind and you can if yes, Maria Marie off yes but the two of them together when they're running that two men game, that's yoke is comfort zone. This is really going to affect him as well as his entire team. So I know you, you certainly wonder how they stay afloat and on our air. Gordon was a nice pick up for them. You know Gordon,

agri. You do this thing after major injury, where you kind of started to go glass, half full like as you are well Mary and it's like now: they're, not winning the west without my Murray and no way. If anything, it might be a team that teams are jacking play, known, we get so like the last four died and teams are treated like. Oh, I can't I wanna be the five seeding go gets damper. I want to be the three seed thou. Do the team at the top sex I'd want to play them? I wouldn't want to play more and more than them. I wouldn't want to play baseball anyone else Dallas. I guess he, but that now, as you are in a situation where LUCA can just knock, you are buying up, I guess you could call to by other yokel can t, I think the thing Murray, that if your round that team you know he's there national, heartbeat, Marcus Smart with a much higher skill set, and I mean- with just all the heart, and they look to him he's great with

Everybody annual gets too but he's their emotional leader and when you lose those guys. It's like ripping the heart out of the team. I feel bad for I really thought they had a chance to win the west. I really did I did too. I was looking at their odds for the west and they were actually higher than I expected because I thought they were like the of sleeper of, especially of especially you Davis. If Davis is a hundred percent, the Lakers are the heavy, rights and they should be. I certainly feel that way up really is that he knows where you stand on Phoenix. I did a whole thing on my part about them on Thursday, about I'm just a believer. I think they're there's a lot. It seems they match up with nicely in a series, the the Lakers not being one of them, but have you to yourself in them. Yet I have bet, actually hoping to do little story in Phoenix here, they're very popular, so their hard to get a hold of it the moment, but I am hopeful you know. First of all, I was thinking about Chris Paul

Who you think goes to the boneyard in OKC and you're like man. What a way for his career to end. You know here and then has this amazing year with them, and then he ends up in Phoenix. It's just incredible and you know Monty Williams. Wife makes a really really good coach, who does then of credit, one of the men who doesn't get enough credit. He was saying to me that how did you know he just always one another chance to coach Chris Pollio coach them. One year I had forgotten. I Byron. Scott was Chris Paul coach in the beginning. I always think of Monte is multi years with him and he wasn't so. He was sight to get another chance at him. So the question becomes, you know he and book are Chris Paul and Booker seem to have figured it out, because that would've been when Chris Paul went there in the beginning. That was one of my big questions. Can these two co exist in a way that, because Chris Paul's ball dominant and so is Devon, Booker

but so Booker's numbers it down a bit but their winning, and he seems great about it. So those two seen great so then it comes down to you know, is the Andrea eight, and can he do it? Does he have what it takes to you know because the rest of their lineup, you know they're they're kind of a sneak, a deep team. I liked the camps. I like both Cameron's. You know those guys are helpful. They, like their team, I think they're, probably a big wing player away. Maybe we could say that every team in the NBA that big strong wing player two way player. You know, maybe that put some of their top, so can they come out of the west. I dont know I kid. I say that I really like what they ve done. What do I like them enough to say you're gonna come off the west. I don't know if I can go that far

we're in a non hundred percent Davis Road. I think they could just cause. I think it's it evens out after that, though, when I did my thing about, I did a whole thing about Phoenix and I forgot to mention this part with Chris Paul the chance to basically completely change your legacy as an older point garden.

See my death rate, which has some has some history in the league Asker guys. The Milwaukee Humans is her with dream. Tiny Archibald ends up in Boston and winds. The island Celtics ride our well. I was thinking guards. I'm just think about your eyes are ok. Rhonda last year was the third better for the Lakers, the whole class, and then I think, kids, probably the last one in two thousand eleven. I think the difference with Work Chris Paul is at this point of his career in those other forests. I think he's still like a top fifteen. Twenty guy, tiny tiny could get there when he died in ice, think they went and eighty two if he doesn't get hurt but tiny could get therefore stretches she couldn't do a game after game after game and then those other guys I mentioned they were just at different points of their careers.

Right cried? I'm right, I'm not your Christmas at a different point of his career feels to me like he still getting through the same spots. He wants to get too he still as efficient as he was. Maybe he's not as ball dominant as he was it Nina two thousand twelve right, but that's actually good for an esteemed yeah. I feel, like he's ninety ninety percent, what he was yeah it's interesting if you go back to Houston, you know had that catastrophic injury which we all talk about, one hamstring away, which I still believe, if he's healthy, I still think they go, and then the next year you're, like maybe he's done. Maybe he's lost. Maybe maybe maybe all these things, but then he went to Oklahoma City and that's everyone's talking about Phoenix, but I say: go look a year ago Chris Paul showed up like a professional with all these team, that team was going nowhere by design right and you listen

Shea guilders, Alexander talk about him and their respect and reverence. She has for him and I really think that's where people were like oh yeah other talk about Chris Bali's wise everybody down Chris Paul he's been really good for this young team and then Phoenix takes him on, and I love It's going on there and I you know his mid range MRS Mid Range game right. It's you almost feel like its automatic. He still does some of that histrionics. I could do without drawn files. The flopping you know all that, but that's just part of the package I see less of this that this year than almost any other years plate. I've been really impressed in your right day. The Oklahoma City season, where they basically came within one planet

advanced in the second round, and then who knows. I have no explanation but what's cool about him, especially in a big game, you could feel it in that Utah game last week, because that was the one of the only games this year. That really felt like a playoff game where you were like. Oh, I could imagine watching a game, seven of this and guess what it's really nice to have Chris Paul out there with games like that. He knows exactly what he's going to do. He got great shots and really the guy who led them down a couple times that game as Booker wasn't Chris, but if I'm in a situation where Donna Mitchell is on one side and Chris and Booker on the other side, like who's gonna, get better shots his eyes. Three minutes I am going Phoenix, I just damp and the same thing with timber and you go down the line at sight. There just you're running at a teams in the west they get the Lakers. I guess the clippers would be the other. One is aware I outlined well now their plan free, what sucker

to talk about the round thing. Butlet's, take quick break! This episode of Bill, Simmons Podcast, brought to you by zip recruiter, great team started great talent, but finding the right people can be a chat orange, especially if you're a business owner whose hiring Lech Look of the NFL right now. Imagine the patriots trying to rebuild their.

I became what they do. They spend a lot of money and free agency. They kept their draft packs. Try to do some moves there and tried to rebuild things on the five it's really hard. Well, when you post jabbered, zip code, get sent out over a hundred tab, job boards, with one click and zip recruiter, is so effective that four to five employers opposed the Zapruder you're, quite a candy within the first day, so other companies overwhelm you with way too many options obscure, find you what you're looking for the needle in a haystack separated the smartest with higher right now, you can try zip code for free exhibited outcome, such bs once again, Zipcar Deca, sash bs, this absolute bill, summons pack, ass, his bride, you buy fresh pat, fresh pet, is real pet food freshmen the fridge. The reason is kept in the fridges, simple, fresh, all ingredients, gently steam, cooked without preservatives, so the meal meals have to be refrigerated, just like all other meats. It's on

actual locally source parents when you switch to feeding fresh. The first thing you ll notice is increased energy, in other words, zoom is higher vertical when they jump happy pets just live in the dream: eating recipes they really enjoy in the weeks that follow you see a softer, chiffonier coat you'll see improved digestion,

How would you relieve, ultimately a healthier way for your pet? Is that what we all want? Dogs and cats deserve real, fresh food to help them live their best happiest lives. You can find fresh pet in the fridge on the pet food dial, or order for delivery visit, freshpet dot com to find a store or online delivery option near you, so Rondo has been up and down since you joined the clippers, but there's been moments where you can kind of see where it's going to go, and I think that the the reason I thought that trade was important for them long term. The ball moves with him. The ball didn't move with that team. It was your turn my turn his turn. Now it's my turn again and it's just people standing around watching

each other, and he doesn't happen with him. He's gonna move if he does that the bar he's can be up to stuff, but he's gonna try to keep things moving. I do think they need him and I do think he plays crunch time for them. What do you think watch and so far I am presenting factor someone. Someone told me that he was air like fifteen minutes and there was some there in the locker room or something in There- were some guys or argument a plan run yeah. I know you're wrong, he's right and they're all academic US right here at an unfair because he's got that memory. He just listen is profit. Listening to them, arguing called it up and said now. Iran is right, So that's it, they moronto, isn't yell you could barely you got to listen closely. Almost you know he's not that kind of guy, but that's why Paul George said what he said about him being in the five minutes that he's been here, what a leader he is because he's not trying to press anybody like if you don't know who he is by now, then he can't be bothered. You know so

want to learn from here. I am, if you don't your loss, not mine and then you know when the games on the wine because and I e hates play off Rhonda, but it's just We know it. Is the numbers tell us beyond a shadow of the doubt, it's real because he gets into those big moments and he has this photographic memory and this muscle memory and he gets into his big moments and there's there's no fear in big moments. All the superstars have always told me the same thing: Jordan in particular. He said you know if I miss a shot, I'm never missing cuz, I'm scared or because I was surprised because I prepared for every single way

Someone might guard me, and I think that's what us I now he doesn't have the skill set, obviously of Jordan or any of these other. You know top ten of all time superstars, but he does have the brain of them and so nothing as a surprise to him anything. He sees in a play off game now. Chances are he's seen it before and not only does he know how to react. He knows how to put you in a position where you can react accordingly and that's just in ah you both and it's funny. We were just talking about Chris Paul him indigo, and you know those two don't like each other at all. As we remember the way for the plant ice, you know why they don't like each other cuz they're, the same darn person. I mean Paul's, more talented, obviously Pausa hall of Famer. We can argue about Rondo in a minute if we, like different kind of all right I'll make it, because everyone makes it okay, fair point, but my point is: they are so much alike because They both have never been wrong a day in their life, a minute in their life either one of em

they all have always been right to tell our listeners the genesis of why they don't like each other. Well, I think it's what I just said, but you know there is a case. Where is it really the ever here is an initially right it. But then there is the game. Was it? Was did even start out with them right. There is a little scuffle underneath and Rondeau and Paul that this clause- and I mean you, seen those Zapruder slow motion photograph, we Rondeau spit Adam now, Rondeau says it was inadvertent, spittle, no, I'm a calm go in and I'm going Ten years earlier, I'm going love mid to the late to thousands cause merrily. Is there anywhere that Danny was gonna? Try to please we're trying to get Chris Pause. Higher career deity got out there, but then they had a game and they got in it in the gate based grants, or at that moment I they hated each other that led to the spinning thing and right. They now that I have made my eyes yeah, but they both at the same that's why they each other both know it all.

And by the way they do know it all both when it comes to basketball and they drive coaches crazy. They common denominator in Doc rivers want to throw both of them into the Charles River by the time he was done. Well, what's I don't know what the river and allay there's no river and la. Where would you throw mounted the free, May I go away our river? You can go that ok they're alive. So it that exists. You know doc some day when they're, both retired unease patch things up, which I think he has with both of them they can render a great now, and I think he and Chris Paul, if they are aren't yet will be some day. It would just be a blast some day to get dock in a room interviewing those too it would be. I would pay money to see that would be great dock in point guards. Who was their point already got along with? Let's go backwards? Okay! Well now, the out of the good ones. The answers that well, I could leave, wished him because he would get my garden any pushes him yeah, but I don't like I think he around or I now I dont know about him increased

they weren't fine, when I did that rocket story with Chris when he first got there I'll. Take the, though how bad the coopers chemistry all that ascension with that team was actually kind of under raided under reported. Ok, I remember, but it wasn't all Chris Pause fault. No, I think it was. I think there were five six people involved with it and also as a really dysfunctional organization say yet that had that right, Peter Rabbit to better, I think remember talking about it on tv like that you know blade away. I ran like breaking Cresson. The enlightened yonder

yeah and then the one would be mad. They would be like whoa where's this coming from and it's like. What do you mean? Where is this coming from everybody knows. What are you guys trying to hide? You guys, don't like each other. You know my favorite moment of the Rondo Chris Paul beef was, though, was when you know after the spitting thing, which was then it was way out in the open, and then someone started like ragging on Chris Paul. I forget who it was and then big baby of all people comes out and says. Chris Paul is a bad teammate and I was like oh dude. Yeah does sad? No thank you, but no, you must not weigh into this. You get no pun intended

This is not your now, you you don't have the right to get to go there. You just really do what a tailor jack rattled loves him still to this day, engaging they got each other. That is probably going to be around to plasters cause, I don't even exists. Phoenix is pretty locked in the two. I think somebody would have to get hurt there. They ve quenched it, but they did what it actually thinking losses. Fifteen you haven't fronting fifteen year so heading into tonight's game. Phoenix is thirty, nine and fifteen the quivers thirty eight nineteen and could in Phoenix adjust their winning eighty five ninety percent of their games there and there can lose them. Aid. Unless somebody gets hurt, so papers are interesting. Now they ve got my attention again because I got so burned by them last year, I'm like no. I am not falling for this. Ever ever ever again, I'm not falling for the clippers. No I will not believe in them, and I will say that we were.

Talk about today on the round the world. We didn't. We got sidetracked, but I was looking up their defensive numbers and that is still what's flummery sis me like their defence of rain, there still tenth and the league, and then I was looking against points in the paint scored against them. They're like sixteenth in the leak like. How is that possible we ve got Pat Beverly Paul George Co. Why Leonard just to name three? Why are they so bad defensively, not bad, but that's not fair, there not bad defenceless, but why aren't they better defensively why I think they need the random peacekeepers? I just I gave up my Lou worms last year and I did the coopers. Did too I've given up on Beverly? I don't. I've been thinking that too he's been hurt way too much. I don't think it's reliable and honestly he's like that dude on the hockey team, who can't stop getting like a terrible penalty with minutes left you notice, I own creation, island, your man,

another. Slashing penalty was right when we need it, but I think also Molly. I don't feel like he's. Gonna be a factor for them when they are actually trying to do stuff is in the chair for sure now. I think the ship is kind of sale than him, but so that's why Rondeau some port for them. The partridge had that toe thing and it's like I'm never going to be the same, sees any starting out. Aragon, Paul George excuse time. Excuse carrier good powdered, but then he awesome last couple game, so it's like. So did you tell her? This is not her because you just ruining dinner last night, but then he said well. I didn't want to use it as an excuse. So I said that to myself. I got to stop using that he's. Like the thing I like about this new Paul George's, he just tells Us think he's thinking, I kind of like it, it's I don't know. I was like it if I was the Coopers pr purse, while of course not, but that doesn't that's not our concern. He's definitely leads the way get excuses.

This year. He is the I had too much coffee before the game dizzy and I couldn't play Andy's. Ba luck. I feel that the time is up right. Don't you it all matters, it's all it to him. In my mind, everybody else. I have an idea of what they're gonna do. It's all up to him what he does with whether they can be the two. We thought there are gonna. Be- is unfair that ain't much pressure. I don't that's too much pressure, but you know because we want the best way players in the game. Is it fair that I just don't trust him and he's got have to prove to me now. I think I learn these aims. Hates yeah we're both on the same page, a hundred percent, and then that does mean I can't do it. He certainly has. The mobility, the ability to do it and- and I did feel I was hard on him like everybody else last year, when we had that disappearing act and then, but then you start talking about the mental all it took on him in the bubble and then I felt a little bad, because I think that stuff is real and I think it affected alot of players. Not just him

and again. He was at least courageous enough to talk about it, which I appreciate it, Sir said I vow bad and I feel bad. I always feel bad after I crushed somebody Can we will have been he? He was talking to big game sire I thought of it- lay off any yeah yeah, absolutely absurd. If you get it, if you wanna talk the talk and then you don't walk the walk, you can't then further geyser too quick eastern questions. In your opinion, what happened? A ban simmonds offensively: why have we gone backwards? Have we gone backwards? Me ass? I feel like we have because not shooting trees. I just some starting to feel a kid. This might be just two years because he had that memory had that Utah Game Ryan. You go in all the prices

like when it beats that their he's dead, Wood Houston missed right right, but then I just felt since the last hour break he's been a borderline liability them offensive. Defensive ease the best personally agonies coregos say that That's too bad. I like it. I like that. Yes, I thought that was super spicy. Also like that he said the sum about the nets and said they still have to do there's only one ball, I gotta liked. All of that I did then I saw I don't I've spent time has been written about him a lot, and I just guess I'm at the point where I'm like when I watch him play my expectations offensively or just adjusted permanently adjusted. So when he has a game like you to answer, pleasantly surprised, but I he should eat, shoot threes here We should, if he wanted to, he could shoot thirty. Four percent from the three point- nine there's, no doubt in my mind, but he's one of these guys was a protectionist and

He doesn't want to shoot. Reasonless she's gonna shoot. You know forty percent. So that's a weakness. That's like! Is it a weakness? I don't know it perfectionists, that's what he is. So you know it's hard for me to say I I still think the way their constructed. They can do some damage. Can they beat Brooklyn? Who knows we don't even know what Brooklyn is because they're never together on the floor together, we know that, when they're, together their historic offensive, they're gonna break every single record. His you know offensive record the Brooklyn Nets, so is that enough to get him out of the east, maybe but I'll join me. On such a mission and the other thought was interesting was about bends. Comets was I'm sure, Joel. It was like hey, wait, a minute, I'm the defensive. Please read, the interesting thing about that, but you know their number two in the indeed

once they have been all year. Their defence of ratings been in the top three from start to finish, that's who they are, and the nets are the exact opposite. The so it's it'll be right. Would love to see those two pledge. In the eastern conference finals. I would enjoy that immensely. The stout star power, would be fantastic, Juno Joy, the troll and everybody they patrolling back. It just would be awesome. I think Philly has a real identity. I think there have a chance to be a really good defensive team in the playoffs and Ben is the thing that is the wildcard rice, the he's gonna be left alone and begins, and the bigger the boy you gonna feel it and how he handles that react to it is going to decide their destiny, but the difference now is that you have set curry. Have Danny Green and you have shake milt, not the bench. You have guys it can come in and shoot shots for you. It's not like

last year where you had shake Milton some of the time and nobody else to shoot perimeter shots feed. I'm saying five minutes left game. Six they're down three, two in a series and you're throwing your best five guys out there and he's going to be out there and the other team is going to be like cool we're, not defending you well. Unless so, then you got

be able to run off MRS and make us he's unstoppable and transition. Now I know transition. You know it slows down the playoffs, everything slows down or crawl. That's what, but I too must always tell me it doesn't have to be that way. You could still, even if they score take it, I the net and go it just has to become a habit. Whether I think you will see see, let me throw this. Save UK, indeed, is the best way of seeing the season he's been great. It's too bad. He missed those games. Well, here's my question so he's when you wanna games, Mystic eighteen games, so out of games, but it's a short and seizing she might be able to get too. I think fifty fifty four games, possibly for money for the seventy two and there's no vp, emerges

Denver takes the step back, let's say: Denver's a six or seven seed. Normally the Mvp has to come from a top four seed. Westbrook was the only exception and we all regret it that Jokic winning the Mvp and then losing and five in round one like. Maybe we should be more forgiving of Embiid missing. If you play seventy five percent of the season, why do a boyfriend for Mvp? Will you can you absolutely can, but here's a couple of things that's assuming. He plays all the rest of the games. Yes, so he would have to run this late, the rest of the week and if I'm the Sixers, I'm not doing that, I'm not letting him do that. I'm going to rest him somewhere on the way, because to your point, they're averaging three point: six games are playing the squeezing all these games in the guy has little nicks and cuts all the time. Cuz he's a seven foot, whatever guy it makes sense to me. Big guys always have to preserve their bodies. So if I'm the Sixers I'm going to say, Joel

and I want the envy p for you too, but I'm not gonna play you know what it involves. Fifty would have to pay as fifty of seventy two but they're they're, the ones seed. I think it's a really good question and I'd have to really long and hard about it. Joel was at the top of my ballot right up until the last time he went out, but you'll be the best part of the first half of the season. And now it yielded job is done, but you don't look at you just numbers he's averaging almost a triple double if his numbers are only gonna get higher, I think with Maria bigger they're gonna go down, because what I might because you know anybody to Maggie that's possible, but he's just such a gamer. It's a very just in question and by the way talked about Janius, who just quit Lee goes along and dominates games, but he's dead. No one people get bored, they want to vote for the same guy again, which is ridiculous and quite I'm games.

HU. I missed because quite beware sneaky quietly good to you know the isthmus than I had. What I had written there now is Yoke image Dame Dame always agreed yes and then just for sentimental reasons. Chris Paul, I've spot right. So what about harden because he's miss games? Now you rule him out heart, I had ruled out already when need completely quit on the Rockets in Andalusia, kind of thing I will look at it starts to stats for years now, pretty good right. Was that I have eyes and I believe, pass We all know what happened there,

Oh, that's all that eliminates and free and fair and limit Erin a boat pussy got hurt so does matter his gonna miss enough games that it's right when right, I think, there's a really weird stuff. So to me, this turns out, like the ninety nine Caesar right, whereas I car Malone's ends up when a nobody could even figure who give it too and he wins- and I don't know- maybe Shack should one on an errand, even though for batteries I feel like this is heading toward a bridge is gonna. Look at this empty appears. I add that really really have one that year we we picked this person because we needed to pick one but yokels is an incredible, that's where defensively he's gotta see minus tat little better than that over the last few weeks. But yes, I mean to end. These is much better to a player. There's no doubt about that, but much more powerful. The case for yoke edge other than the statue mentioned disease. Twenty six, eleven nine he's a borderline. Fifty forty nine two guys fifty some forty to eighty

is one of the most fun personally, but when the reality the durability is incredible. He's played, I think, he's point. Fifty four I think he's. Every game. He had so many that that would be the case for him as a disguise been there, every single game he's been eyes and vote for him. Yeah Annie's carried that I may, when Mary wasn't play well, when Porter was in the damn out, and then we came back struggling yoke is, was just phenomenal every step of the way, but here's my question so what say them in Portland end up with the exact same record, can you tell me he did morphine? and were then Dame did for Portland. Yes, Dame at a lot more to do with Bessie lost Macao. Colleagues we get here. This is not for a while. Yet he display way more minutes, then they die They make a very rousing

training remounts? Oh my god, I've got my dad lost his mind. My dad left right. There he's got. You think we could use cancer. Research matters one the most interesting players because he's one of the best offensive owners I have ever seen in my life. He comes out and it is not fast and it comes out and you're like how today happen, but yet, on the other end not so much, you know not much, but he was a joy to be around. I've enjoyed him at every team. He's been he's been outlined by Mr Michel thinking has a really important behind the scenes, kind of had it spirit to to him, it is a great team aid and knows a tough guy cause they this team is that yeah. I think the one thing about him, though, was it. He was just so out there all the time there were times. I think his teammates for like do take a day off from that right and just to get up, and there was a little bit of that anyway. That

emu could sing. I think I don't get you name it ass, it yeah. Of course you could dame you could vote for Dame every year. You can vote for staff, curry if you really mean stiff cars been unbelievable and his team. That damages bad. I may gather bad and he's been eased and everything you can for them. So there's always I mean Bradley Beale thy now settled down, come on I'll, just try to trying to make a point. They're dead, here's another level damage since ethics play them last night Tatum, MRS Three for the such got. Five would like a minute left become comes down, hits one the celtic score thereupon and I'm wash em to say date. We ve left him much time he's gonna win the game, like I just kind of assumed he was the way allow in the in the south, pulling appoint the game out. I felt like I escaped, but the only way I was cause, I couldn't wait, Dame didn't when the game

somebody's gotta level member that series it Portal be Denver was at two two seasons ago. Yet two seasons are gonna like ages hijack, that's it and there was really good and really hot. You know they were plain really well and he just he's like nope with so much fun out. So I think I will go Yoke edge, Dame Lionesse right now and then you could stay me on us and beat and then out give Chris policy Spock, as we have we vote for five right yet as and when they have a fifth, so you ever led forth. Given aid forth Yet you just made this passionate case for him. The Anja I'm talking it out. This is a talk exercise. It is that I just don't understand William, see I I think you could argue I mean Chris Paul- would be a very fine vote. I think you could argue you could vote for Steph Curry as well in that five spot.

Very far.

Products ran a prolonged is great because it kills weeds without harming your lawn are ready to use formula that kills the toughest weeds down to the root and a wine that extends to to to reduce bending over instead, instead of about about

you can think about whatever you want to think about whether you could poor mustache off like what are the twenty dumbest trades Celtics have ever made like what kind of personal funny stories you tell late night, torture, Steve, no, you may never get any better limit touch of sinners could happen. A brand think about what you could think about when you're, not thinking about weeds, always read and follow pesticide label directions, not all products are registered in all states and may be subject to use restrictions. Are you worried for our friend Steve Car Stick. It has taken some heat I now, but he can handle it and what I mean what's wrong with people for crying out loud. Are you paying attention at all to what this team has gone through in a very short and season? Is she's been one horrific thing after the next now James Wiseman, you know you're tryin, like you got criticized for the handling of James Wiseman, unlike you know what citizens are high tech, yeah yeah he's trying to teach the key what's important. What is what

earns you minutes what doesn't arguments? That's what he's supposed to do? I can't believe who is it? The other day that was saying be like this so we now where, if a coach criticizes the player calls a player out everybody's like what's she doing that so horrible? No, that's what he's supposed to do. You know, like my own, sometimes gets prettily brutally honest with the nuggets. I love that when that happens in oh doc has always been like that. Some guys aren't like that at all, be diluted can if he gets a little spicy. If it gets a little upset you may you might tell them what he really thinks I like it. I think it is good for these players, so wise man he's a young kid at CERN in how to figure out the NBA product when pro

soon and Steve Curse is trying to get em the foundation. He needs to become a great player. That's all he went from high school Otto, the NBA basically, but also wasn't playing for the last year by right that I feel it. That was the right back. I think I might be in a minority at this point that most people would say they should taken the mellow and are now yeah. I mean, but look at me, look at their personnel right, look at their personnel because the I forget had clay already torn is he had already turns ACL heading. I can't remember now before the draft. He had right right before the draft that with it of civic argument for witches centres, though in shaping ships the perimeter guys when championships. That's. How goes the woman I was at her lamellous fabulous. He was five is an that's another. Shame of it too. What a year he was having a grenade. Melick Charlotte had chanced to be may some noise and

Then they lose their soda hanging around. Aren't they worthy of Charlotte Charlotte's, a game over five hundred? They fly there's nobody out after plainly, I Barton twins further quicker. It's that sustainable the other thing we should mention this. I had another Washington, give Pj Washington a little off come on a little bit like Pj Washington yeah. I do too. This is a random one. This wasn't the second thing I had for you, the Bogdanovich thing enrages me: it's the same six, dumb teams every year. Sacramento is always one of them. They have this guy who they decide for whatever reason, Ere, we won't keep em and there's some trade. I don't know how true that market trade was right would have guy like an asset, not gonna get him in Atlanta comes in thy cures. For years. Eighty five million the kings look at

and they go yet to reach for our blood you take em. I dont like losing assets like it. If I ever own an team Sunday, which is very unlikely, guess what I'm not losing assets for, zero. I'm signing the guy and figuring out form of that another way, advancing he's. Better than trade. You know somebody member. We can talk in lamenting, cam reddish being out, wouldn't even talk about Bogdanov. It miss the boat on, as I mean he's ready at how about that play last night that play Solomon. He'll take support about like it looks like he was playing pick up in Rucker Park. He likes casually side armed it on the move. I'm sorry it was with this arm, the like, through the court to Governor who looked like a receiver, an end it with sixty seven second caught the ball with them is one of the greatest plays a year. I got I couldn't you don't which was better. I don't even know the past.

Or the catch. It was incredible that died. Team is so fun and give Nate Macmillan his props, the man he took over everything turned around and I thought lured posted a really good job with those guys but Nate needs. You know he's another guy that tells it like it is to his place. You know, yeah that team is now thirty and twenty five I thought the over under for them at the goes, a half game for then behalf came over five. Before the season ride out their own under and that team now and causes out too I know one young are both out, but it's like that old. The eighty three celtic thing where it's like, sometimes you can have too many guys they got rid of a couple. Otherwise, there is a great yeah I've downloaded learning through self expression.

There's a lot of problems. Did you cover their team? Now I would tat was still I just graduate from college now I did not, but I've talked about me. I love Bill Fitch. I talked to Bill Fitch allotted to Emma Car flat out, told me: we wanted him to get fired so weak I mean that's on the record. You can go, look it up somewhere. He told me that in the eighties, at some point, much later, you know well after the fact we wanted to get rid of bill fits. So we quit on that's a direct quote. It's a major major mark on the legends resume, the sweep two more it's a tat, but he had nothing to do that. He loved Bill Fitch, Yams fight like Hell for Bill, Larry love. If you s Larry's favorite coach of all time, he'll tell you it's bill fit. He was disgusted with those guys. He was really upset. It's at least forty percent of the Maxwell bird.

I think, as the eighty three might might be, the others does sixty percent as the max that re having his knee well enough for the eighty four eighty five season right, I think you are four pages. Yet the ABC debate about no shown that last year, The thing about Larry is he's just so tough and you just expected everybody else to be as tough as he was. You know expected everybody else to be a gamer and that's you know, so I think to live up to but that's why I like Mikhail, even though they had their differences Mikhail played through everything, always right and that's where the respect comes in between those two. You know here's my other biggies question for you. This broken thing with the rotating door of who's available night tonight and then

he disappeared again last week, my now? Why should I? Why? Should I trust that this team, as president constituted from what we ve seen now for four plus months five months? Everyone has been that when we get to the playoffs, the pressure increases and the spotlight gets hotter right. This team is going to stay together for ten weeks without any sort of drama somebody disappearing at the wrong time whatever. Why should I trust that because they're just historically talented their mode there, the most historically talented, offensive team, probably ever the embryos ever seen. According I'm talking fair glad tat had so when the light gets hot. Carry- doesn't shrink from the light when the light gets. Hot Durrant doesn't shrink from the light now

Are you a little bit about harden if you want, based on his check, somewhat chequered legacy when they are lying? Allow, that's a nice us think anyone's ever set about oh yeah right, but here's the thing what's his role on this team stays. What it has been used to me been the most, weren't guy in their team, so that our trade happen and he's been unbelievable until he got hurt and ease the glue and he's the guy. That was saying I don't care about taken the last shot. I don't care, but now with that change in the class by all accounts, it wasn't supposed to change in time for the plant. So if the what if the lights, get white hot

I do think the rent is going to crumble under the white hot lights. I don't do the a winner everywhere. He goes, you know care, I don't see him. I don't think those guys wilt. Now your point about chemistry and when the game gets tight and let's say Joe Harris misses a shot and cut you know, will what he did in Boston and start jumping on the guy. That might happen, but I think Joe Harris can take it and I think Joe Harris is going to make more shots. Big shots that he's going to miss. The most interesting thing to me about this net team is that if they even didn't have carried for a couple rounds? I actually think they'd be ok, I've is just a rain hard and all the other did they have. I don't think they would probably had probably take them to win these, so carry becomes, is weird. Three right. You don't know where you're getting from him from week to week game the game, but if you get anything out of him, neither unstoppable

kind of like what he wants right, that's the spot he wants to be in when he plays, though my God, you just you watch him when he's engaged and he's playing he's just so good he's just so good. You forget how good he can be could dominate games for you know stretches that you just go. Nobody could stop him he's really to and just think out, Spencer Dinwiddie was here, you know, although I wonder I they if he was healthy, they were traded and probably at the deadline rate hundred percent yeah. I was looking at the stats. I was just looking at some M bp stuff and as a committed different stats ban surrender the GDP are, then, if you look at the top ten and Pierre right now, it is all superstores. This I'll give you the top ten, except for the fifth place. Guy yoke edge Janius

Zion Kawai Jimmy Butler Steph, Curry Luka Doncic, Dame Lillard, Kyrie Irving, that's our not ten and Pr Lebron's, not in there Lebron thirteen wow, I'm surprised, Lebron is in the Obtaining always is, can you guess who? we're fine. I guess that non superstar in that top ten I'll give you a hint he's playing less than twenty minutes a game. Any place for my figure it out. Oh no, my husband had shared out your favorite team, whose your favorite team, the Celtics, does it very affair. The team p r, o robber Williams time Lord Number five is right behind coat letter at twenty six point. Thirty, six pr, it's a game excited. I was really I've got to see him in there. Now, let's not get carried away. Well, I think that's why we ve had like slate issues with PR, because it right great, but there is always the

Abbott Whims type guy in the right way. That's rare and its often a bigger, I mean from what I've been told. You know by all the analytical guys they have stuff. We we we can't possibly match. You know are layman like myself and others, but they do say that the Eu S pm plus minus is probably one that they they put more weight on than they do pr for what it's worth for, what it's worth, and I don't. I don't have that in front of me, but it's the same. It's you don't see usual cast of characters. I think Lebron fares well and statistics as well so big guy? Well, there could feel go percentage matters that kind of stuff you the funny thing about the broad before he got hurt it was statistically I don't they adding Missus Ware season just from the Eurostat. Since I too knows sakes, I think the impact of it was pretty low better. I think that's all I have for you. Oh, I want a woman's casually fast, okay, TAT, the Stamford wins.

Now how China one the coach had one for twenty nine years does not beautiful that she had a chance not to win for twenty nine years. So what happened? Because I am I'm just recently a kind of becoming enamoured with that with the this. How do you not wind? Had you got twenty nine years between championships? I thought that was bizarre push out at a good school. It's not like she's Alec is lighter now she's alive her and there are always in the top five. Every year has never happened. Yeah just didn't happen after that and she got ya like those I halls were there like grandma, oh here's, one thing I have to just brag about because my old Highschool college, Cathy Delay Smith, is the coach at Harvard. As you know, cause I've mentioned. Urban or but she was for many years, the answer to a great trivia question, which was the only time a number. Sixteen seed beat a number one seat in the unseen term. It because this is before Belmont did what they yeah. She beat terror, Vandeveer and Stamford. Now they had some injuries, but she had Alison feast her, who is

I'll ask above opts for the Celtic, so they were the answer to a trivial question. For many many years I loved I, who who's the tall blind, who had the Mikhail game, backs delvers vector, yes, she's, terrific, the killer whales. Their senior was really great, Emmy she's, when, whenever eleven straight shots, she missed eleven straight shots in that game and you're like oh, my god. This is on this- is like Dame Willard Missing, eleventh, but that's why she was Dame Willard, because she hit all the big shots down the stretch I feel like on Arizona bandwagon size I voted in that well, yeah. Dear. Barnes is a cool story, she's really coach, don't like the coach and at that point guard reminded me of pre injury as they atomic stuttering, unprecedented misdoing like tat. I am all in a match in Arizona I tell you ever gonna come back and I did love that Medea Barnes Dance daily use their platform to talk about, what we talk about the men's game, all the time, the dearth of female female black coaches, because just like them

game. There's a million of them out there that are great assistance that haven't gotten a chance and I'm gonna throw one name at you, someone that I've got to know very well or names, Marisa Mosely. She turned the Bijou programme around she's, a true not only such an amazing ouch, but one of the most dynamic people I've been around I'm. I was on the board of shooting touch. My organization, I've told you about before, where we use basketballs a tool to help kids, both in inner city Boston. My Eddie, kids, inner city, boss and also in Rwanda and sheep. She joined our board as the coach, be you and she just blew.
