You we thought this was a matchup we it still could happen we thought the Celtics and the Bucks it would be a great match up you know you got Jason Tatum JB you got Dane and uh Giannis and this game was was over at the half this

Game was not even close this was awful this was pathetic and it was so bad the starters didn’t come back out they didn’t play the second half yeah they beat they beat they booty off they back tonight this was yeah man this was a staple for for the bucks right because

You know um one of they players is over there yeah and had to really show that we are a better team it might not say it on the record but we are a better team you know without you so we’re GNA go out there and prove it right because you

Know the thing is where they slipped is defensively last year they’re the fourth rated defensive team now they’re like in the 20s and so tonight what did they hold C with the half 39 what did they hold a Celtics to at the half G like 39 it was like 77

39 come on man but even even okay even the the the stat that that’s pushed out there about the defense it’s it’s it’s fool’s gold right it’s fos they were fourth last year and they’re 20th year this year well what about the offense right right you know last year they averaged

116 gave up 113 right this year they’re averaging 124 giving up 119 so they’re plus two with this addition right you know so all that defense they had last year where the [ __ ] did it get him first round exit to well we couldn’t tell anything about

That defense way Jimmy Butler lit him up in the playoffs remember Jimmy had that 57 point I mean Jimmy Butler looked like Michel Jordan and Kobe in the absolute prime and that was against holiday yes but but that was the that was the the issue here it’s like can we get more

Offense than the defense and right now it’s plus two so the offense is plus two versus what they had last year so so it’s not a negative they’re just looking at the wrong stats they’re looking at oh the defense but the offense is second compared to where it was last year so

You know when when you have Giannis out so the problem was basically in playoffs when you had Giannis out where we was going to get our points Drew holiday averaged 1.8 in ISO points 1.8 for your second third best player right when Dame was number one in

ISO points so I’ll take the points over the defense yeah well I don’t think anybody think it was a bad trade I mean you get an opportunity to get a top 75 player all time and you give up what you might give up defensively is more than worth because you’re getting Dame

Lillard in return yes so I like the trade nobody can convince me this was a bad trade for Milwaukee I think all the other 29 other teams if they had a similar situation they’re taking Dame Lillard for a true holiday type player also of course but for what but for

Whatever reasons Gil it hadn’t clicked as well as I thought it would by now because I mean when they get on the same page we could see they can be explosive jannis can give you 40 13 and eight and Dame can give you 32 nine and six but

There’s not enough of that Malik Beasley is playing and shooting the ball he’s leading the league in three field goal shooting last year with LeBron he couldn’t throw it in the ocean from the middle of the ocean you know what sometimes and you know you we can’t we can’t say that he’s

A better shooter without LeBron and he’s what is what happens is when you get embarrass and people call it out you go into the summer saying I need to improve this you know and that that’s we have to give him credit for his Improvement it’s nothing to do with the

Offense right right you have the same shots when you had in Lakers you just worked on that this summer to improve your chances of stand on the floor and extending your career well then why the hell he ain’t working on it uh doing in between practices and shoot around same

Reon same reason a lot of guys don’t work on it they don’t they think they better than they really are right you go in there you take 50 25 threes after the after practice and you think that’s enough right no oh man that’s not a first of all if you’re not a shooter

Coming into the NBA you’re behind the eightball already you’re you’re eight nine years behind a actual natural shooter so that means you have to try to make that up that means you have to put yourself on a schedule three four 500 shots a day outside of practice wow for

To turn around and it might not turn around for three four years but it’s going to turn around so if you’re not putting in that type of work you’re not really getting better it was so bad TNT even Switched Off the game now that’s what the NFL normally does the

NFL normally switch games the gamees getting out of hand they’ll switch to another game oh that’s never I’ve never seen that before but I know I know damn well I know if I was on Boston ain’t no way I’m sorry coach ain’t no goddamn way you uh

I ain’t get my points yet ain’t no way you uh taking me out at the half nah yeah that’s what that’s what’s so impressive about LeBron streak he’s almost a damn near 1,200 games with double figures and you see situations like this Jason Tatum now he has to start all over again

He has seven yeah I mean I mean I don’t know who’s close to him but I don’t know if somebody’s gonna actually break that record you talk about the points I mean he’s what 300 and something points away maybe 400 points away from 40,000 we talking about nobody’s gonna break that

Record who in the hell is gonna have 1,200 straight games with double d double Figures it’s hard I mean and that’s that’s the most impressive part the impressive part is that he’s doing it still at this age right someone tried to call me out on Twitter when I said it

I said well when Michael Jordan was playing with the Wizards and that second year and he bringing all those vets to try to win some games they were supposed to be a playoff scene when they were losing no one talked bad about Michael Jordan no one said nothing they just let

Him do his thing exactly so why y’all not doing it for this 39 year old because why he expected to win when the when the goat didn’t and they they they supposed to win 48 games and then you know when they tried to fact check me it was right

They had high hopes for that second year and they fell short and no one blamed Michael Jordan for it because his age you know I’m saying because everybody said it was just it’s just a ceremonial see the last two was just ceremony well that’s what you said about LeBron oh

LeBron he cares more about being Michael B Jordan than Michael Jordan okay he dis excuse me he disproved that Allstar all NBA uh led the league in assist won a championship so now now because he didn’t come out here for he didn’t come out here to retire he’s

Still playing at an elite level you still find something to well he ain’t this he ain’t that the man is playing as an unbelievable level it’s still a team game and he needs I mean look that’s the same thing that’s what Yanni said Yanni says hey I’m looking move if y’all don’t

Get me some help yeah listen this this game the what the problem is for like a guy like me who values you know players right when we’re trying to convince you someone’s not good we give you all the things they can’t do and then when we talk about the past we talk about

Everything they can do right so we tell you all the good things and the accolades of the the past and then the present right we tell you everything they can’t do oh he can’t go one onone he never takes a last shot he doesn’t do this this is all right what about the

Other guys how about them let’s let’s hear what their negatives are oh he couldn’t go left oh he couldn’t do this he could but we don’t we just talk about their greatness and then our flaws and that’s what keeps this thing going yeah I mean they always oh he’s six and0 but

What about the first two what about the years that he got bounced in the first round so in other words you’re telling me it’s better to lose in the first round to lose in the NBA Finals yeah that’s what I’m that’s what it sounds like you’re saying to me but look

Wherever you are on this argument Gil I don’t think anybody’s moving you are where you are in this argument some people believe it’s Jordan some people believe it’s LeBron some people believe it’s Kobe I don’t believe anybody can put forth a compelling argument to sway somebody to move off whether it’s Kobe

LeBron or Jordan no and that’s and that’s the thing at this point in time these guys submitted themselves as potential goat-like figures and the people who who were there who watched Michael Jordan carry a NBA league not a team he wasn’t carrying the Bulls he was carrying the league

Image right this he was carrying this game and the people who witnessed that and saw that they’re not giving that up no they’re giving it up that’s just that’s just not GNA happen so no matter LeBron could have 12 rings and that they’re gonna find there it’s right so

It’s just one of things where we got the we got we got we got him up there and then everybody else is gonna fall short to it because what they say it’s about Ring I said what Bill Russell has more W Rings uh John hav Sam Jones Casey Jones

If it’s about rings well it’s about okay but what about a guy that that played that’s been an Allstar about to be 20 consecutive times as a starter what about the guy that has the most all NBA teams what about the guy that first excuse me not only all NBA teams the all

NBA first teams all what about a guy that won championships in three different franchises and he was the MVP at all different franchises a guy average a triple double in the NBA Finals it was what two rebounds or or or or or less from doing it again but like

I said uh uh wherever you are in this argument Gil you’re not moving so ain’t no sense in us trying to convince anybody one way or another you’re on that ledge I’m let you stay all they gonna do is hey you can’t use stats that’s it you can’t use stats right you

Know it is it it is what it is at this point right and you know the best thing for me is I got to play with all three of them you know there’s only a few people that can say they play play with all three like so you say you’re top five

Greatest of all time I get to say I played with all five or four out of five right right depending on who you put in there I mean if you start putting in the 60s and the 70s no then yeah but for the for the most part most of your your your

Top five ever is 80 to now yeah I mean a lot of those guys you played against more than that you played against Shaq you played against Tim Duncan yeah I mean Tim ducky don’t get any credit they just make him seem like he was a

Bum I mean Timmy I mean the guy I mean he was a 15 time all defensive player all those all those uhhh uh allstar game all those all NBA five rings three finals MVP uh I think he won two championships I don’t know if he ever

Won a defensive player of the year but uh he was outstanding yeah I mean he was he was an he was amazing and it goes to show you what type of type of talent that’s been in this league that’s coming in this league

Um and you know like I came in as a fan so you know I was fanboying out there you know I’m give me give me your autograph after they game give me your autograph was one of those guys so um you know it’s I have I have all three of them in

The top five so I just like to poke and argue about all three right today you know it’s LeBron tomorrow might be Jordan Kobe might be the you know what I mean so I’m one of those guys that just I do I I switch every Week
