Game recap yon Koo 339 and5 Chris Middleton gave you 24 and 10 they call out a double double where I’m from Brook Lopez 118 and six so he did a little bit of everything had a couple blocks to go with it two Malik be 11 points four
Boards one assist for the most part I thought he did a really good job containing Klay Thompson got a little bit out of hand there in the fourth quarter as uh as Golden State got some shots up got some threes up and then at the end of the game I think Malik
Beasley got a little bit upset because Dr Griffin took him out of the game put in Andre Jackson Jr but then he did reinsert Malik Beasley back into the game I thought he did again did a really good job um containing Klay Topson the threes that Klay was able to put up
Wasn’t because Malik Bey let guys go past him or anything like that you know Klay Thompson’s game he’s trying to shoot the thre was because he’s just getting left I think up on some screen so that was tough for him Dame nine of 19 looked much more like himself today
Seven and seven from the line two of five from three 277 and six in 37 minutes of action so good work from him Bobby poris had 10 points eight rebounds um he was rough I think from certain stretches of the game I think he is I think if you’re a Milwaukee Bucks fan
You’re watching Bobby quarters and you’re listen there’s some issues with with how he plays at times and the shots that he takes again he had 10 points on 11 shots that’s a lot of shots he’s putting up very inefficient game 36% from the field he’s giving up points on
The other end Bob’s a a point of contention that we got to talk about Pat Khan to three points uh you know he was just out there running around and Andre Jackson Jr gives you a double double 27 minutes from Andre Jackson Jr the rookie
Getting some time uh with this 10 and 10 game d Oar 12.6 Sports 23 and10 from the Wisconsin native uh P pisy from um he’s from Wisconsin right um 23 and 10 from him Klay Topson with 21 on but again and that’s the thing about when I talk about
The defense Malik Beasley I think Klay Thompson you know had was six of 17 from three Klay Thompson took 17 threes that’s crazy and so again I thought Malik Beasley was good for the most part but there was just a flurry that went up
Um 21 points on 23 shots is is so he wasn’t very efficient at all just a flurry from Klay Thompson it went up and and the Bucks had the problems containing it but after they were they were able to do that they did a good job
28 and three from uh kaminga uh nobody else really have not to go into Bucks win at 129 118 John TI Chris King what did you see man you know what everything that you saw too want want to make a couple points here too so I think think one
Thing that I saw in that first half the Bucks didn’t have the energy that they had against Boston they just didn’t they came out was a bit sluggish I did not like how it looked when when you took some of the starters out you had some of
The second Team guys in there and guys I think our bench depth is a legitimate concern we’ve talked about this I believe in the first half the bench combined for Bobby hit one shot and the bench combined for a grand total of eight points they finished this game
With 23 and a lot of that is because you had Andre Jackson Jr coming off the bench with 10 which we can’t expect that night in and night out right that’s an anomaly or an externality from from looking at you know those kind of points from from uh from Andre Jackson Jr uh
Econ term econ ter right like yeah like Andre Jackson Jr you know night in the night out there I will say this though man I love the fact this is the second straight night Bucks have had uhh over 50 boards so good work good work we’re definitely banging the boards like we uh
You know we’re we’re turning this thing around remember there was ear there was a point earlier this year we were in the in the low 20s ranked in rebounds right the bottom third so that’s one another one I thought Dame I I I I I like this
Version of Dan Lillard what we’ve seen second straight he’s coming out firing right he’s come out with double digits after the first quarter and again tonight also I will point out we have we have eight guys in double figures I think that’s right we had yeah we had
Eight I’m sorry seven guys in double figures tonight so you know good work good work guys good team win good good way to get it done in the a yeah I have to agree with that I think also what you have to look at down the
Stretches is how are your top three top four guys going to play When the bench plays like that when they play Bad uh and it showed that the Bucks can at least will their team to a victory that’s what your your top three looks like at its absolute best uh Chris
Middleton going 10 for 13 and hitting some big shots down the stretch and I think if that starts to show a little more and the the three of those guys have it click in I think it’ll be really good for the bucks yeah no absolutely I thought that
The bucks um you know they they just played tough they hung tough I thought that you know every now and then you know you talked about before we got on this that um the Bucks play with their food a bit and you can see some of that I think I
Mentioned um earlier during you know on on Twitter that you know the Bucks look like the game was never to me really in doubt um they do end up winning by 11 points it it was just never in doubt but there were moments again you talk about
That first half I thought Bobby Porter just had a really rough stretch um starting the game out and just I think he was part of the issues because like you said John tyus Damen lard started off cooking right and he comes in the game and and he’s playing you know max
Level getting the shot getting to getting to everything he cooled off a little bit but again sometimes it just it happens naturally into the flow of the game but Chris Middleton was great and again you’re looking for those Sparks Off the Bench and I know we’ll
We’ll we’ll talk about the bench a bit but it you could make the argument and I said this as well you could make the argument that basically everybody but Andre Jackson Jr can go I from from that bench unit everybody but Andre Jackson Jr can go uh to me because they’re just
Not not it’s valuable and like I said when when Jack when Ajax comes into the basketball game he starts to run he’s he’s a spark plug he comes in he’s playing defense even his turnovers his mistakes he had one pass I’m sure you guys saw it he had one pass where he was
Dumping into Giannis I mean he like threw a fast ball jannis is two feet away from him and Giannis you bounces off his hand and I and who gets the ball like any other time the ball just be bounced up somebody from gold state would get it and he go the other way
Andre Jackson Jr he realizes oh I threw that thing too hard he goes in he gets the ball makes another pass I think it led to open three-pointer so just a lot of good stuff from him Nick C we see you uh says did you watch that Wiggins to
Middleton crossover he dropped him like a brick it was so funny yeah yeah yeah you saw that too saw it yeah well well and the funny thing is not so and that’s the thing I like I don’t even know how much I can give credit to guys for
Dropping him but like so but he fell there and then offensively you see like a couple possessions later he just fell down again and I think somebody t so like yeah Chris is blowing tires all over the track tonight well well listen let me let me let me why we’re talking
About it Andre Jackson Jr I’m comfortable at this point he is your most consistent player Off the Bench he is your most consistent player Off the Bench and that’s telling because you have some seasoned vets on this team who’ve done some good things in this league right and to say that the rookie
Is your most consistent player Off the Bench that’s not good that’s not good at all but consistently night in and night out he brings the energy he makes plays he does the dirty work and you guys like that Lobby through the Giannis right saw that big saw that big block in the third
Quarter right kicks that thing on out the Dame gets it going Dame hits that I mean he’s in the game he plays the game honestly with like a level of passion that Giannis plays with like he literally plays the game with that type of passion like you could tell Andre
Jackson Jr’s happy to be out there he is a ball player he loves the game I mean he’s just willing to do the Dirty Work there was a time when you said I think I think we were arguing three weeks ago one of you guys were arguing that he
Could start over Beasley and I said you’re insane right you’re absolutely insane because y’all know look listen the best three-point shooter in the NBA this season y’all better leave my man Beasley alone but listen you could 100% argue that he could push for push push for rotations in that starting five from
Time to time 100% I mean Andre Jackson Jr and then 10 and 10 tonight man when was the last time you seen that from a guard yeah seen a double double from a guard and rebounds and points like coming off the bench oh yeah Andre Jackson Jr man he getting my game ball
Tonight yeah it’s and yeah it’s it’s it’s always good when you have a a young player like that who wants to compete and wants to get out there get on the floor and and stay there and I think that’s what you see with Andre Jackson Jr his effort is literally night and
Night out it’s it’s great so love seeing it and hopefully it keeps it up yeah when you talk about the effort 100% it it’s there he’s given it uh and again that’s what you want to see that’s what you like to see Nick C also says why didn’t campaign play tonight so I
Know campag had a concussion now there were some people who thought and and again isn’t think about that isn’t isn’t that a little bit interesting as well the campaign doesn’t get minutes in a game where he’s back in a game where you know you’re looking for maybe um you’re looking for for some
Guard play and maybe that’s some of the reason why Andre Jackson Jr does get the you know know um I got thought he didn’t have 10 assist he had 10 rebounds he had a couple assists but you know yeah you’re you’re looking for who can handle
The ball and a lot of times that comes to Chris Middleton who got a double double he had 10 assists so Chris middlton was your high man assist wise if he could dribble the ball just a little bit better I think he has some some good passes turnovers a little bit
Rough at times but yeah the Bucks are are really they seem to be in a position where they’re looking for another guy that can play that role and so somebody did question whether or not of course the bcks on the back toback they play the Sacramento Kings tomorrow do you
Think campaign didn’t play tonight because they’re gonna rest Dame maybe tomorrow something like that maybe that’s the reason um but I thought it was interesting that cam didn’t play as well cam didn’t play and Maran bamp both both of those guys didn’t play so again just very interesting stuff rotation
Wise from Dr Griffin and it shows you that he’s looking and he’s watching he’s going to put the best players in the game and the second thing I’ll say to that is we talk we talk about Andre uh excuse me we talk about um Adrian Griffin we talk about Mike boser under
Mike boser do you think that the young boys will be playing you think Andre X Jr Andre X Jr would be buried in oshot right now if Mike buos was the head coach because he never played the young guys so again you’re starting I think you’re gonna see Pats minutes decrease
And I think also Dr Griffin said that in in his uh pregame press conference that um Jay Crowder should be coming back in the next few games as well so so do I think two guys are gonna suffer I think Bobby Porter’s minutes are gonna come down I think pat
Pat K’s minutes to come down in favor of Andre Jackson Jr and in favor of um of of Jay Crowder when he gets back yeah that’s interesting because Crowder coming back I mean I don’t think you’re going to insert him into the starting line I know we talked about him
Potentially to getting that spot starting line up but it’s kind of hard to make that determination at this point because you don’t know what he’s going to look like coming back you don’t know what the ramp Up’s going to look like you not you’re you’re so it’s tough to
Tell I know Crowder was playing some really good ball earlier this year that’s going to be a huge weapon even Jay Crowder coming off the bench that’s gonna be that’s gonna be beautiful man if he if he gets back and he returns to form um yeah I think Pat’s minutes
You’re right I think those minutes are done we’ve already seen maron’s minute I mean at this point margin minutes have gone up in smoke right he he didn’t play till the fourth quarter last night in a blowout he didn’t even touch the courts to the fourth quarter and then now he
Didn’t play at all the night so uh qu it’s fair to say honestly I don’t I’m I would take a bet that Maron and Pat are not uh a part of the a future of this team and by Future I mean February 9th yeah I definitely will see we’ll see
A decrease in at least Pat’s minutes I don’t know if Bobby can find some consistency in his game at all then I I think it you you kind of don’t want to mess up anything good so when you when you bring Jay Crowder back in you’re
Obviously going to have to uh bring him back and maybe minutes restriction and ramp him up as well because he’s missed so much time so um that’ll be an interesting thing to keep an eye on it I mean they can fight they can both fight
For more minutes or or Bobby to stay and and Jay Crowder to get his minutes so uh we’ll see I think that’s up in arms but I think yeah yeah Andre Jackson will get some for Pat Uh 608 W says uh why is Trey’s connection always terrible
Um you got the McDonald’s wifi that’s what it is WiFi bro is that’s what’s is that what’s happening uh I don’t yeah maybe maybe my neighbor I gota get my neighbors to get some better wi-fi um Malcolm Mackin says Dame needs to touch the ball every possession uh kylin
Racine uh says put some respect on Ajax maybe we should expect 10 from him off the bench someone has to do it uh and then Robert Henry says big three Giannis Dame and Chris BR it big UPS to Jackson Jr coming off the bench need another strong showing vers upstart Kings
Tomorrow go Bucks uh and then um Kyle says they definitely were not invested in the first half I actually disagree with I thought the first half I thought they were I thought the first half they were good because again the Bucks started off think with a 12-point lead
Um and and they played you know pretty well and again the guy who stopped everything was Bobby Porter Bobby Porter got into the basketball game and again the ball stops with him it starts stops when when he gets the ball he’s fine when he’s shooting open three he’s fine
When he’s making good decisions but so many times he gets the ball on the Block and I mean the ball just stops he feels it’s almost like he feels like he gets in the game and I gotta shoot I gotta make some type of play I gotta do
Something with the ball and I I don’t I I don’t know why he feels the need to do that at all times again you got he’d be so much better give him the ball back guys down figure out what you’re doing here and if you need to pass it out pass
It out that’s okay well that’s part of the problem like that’s part of the problem they’re giving it to him on like and he’s playing ISO ball so like it’s literally just that the fact that he needs to kick it back out like they get
It to him on the elbow and he just black hole it doesn’t pass the ball gets a random shot up and misses and then he tries to keep forcing it but when he lets the game come to him and he’s cutting and he’s he’s moving and transition and uh passing the ball back
Out and then resetting like he’s really he can be good he just has to do that I I always look at Bobby as a barometer right he’s got to make a he’s got to make it early buckets like you said if he’s making buckets early he lets the
Game come I’m cool but if he if he go if he starts out over four here we go right now all a sudden we gota we gotta start we gotta start forcing this thing we got to start fishing for buckets right taking out the taking out the fishing
Rod and really trying to see what you can catch and uh that that’s where it gets uncomfortable to me right when he when he starts when he misses his first few shots it never fails but you know look we we’ve talked about this we’ve exhausted this point people have this
Perception of Bobby por is from 2021 2022 six man of the year and this year it’s been very up and down it’s been very lopsided we just talked about how well he played the other night he got the game ball the other night well it’s like 28 points or something like that
Against uh against Boston Bobby Bobby Bobby was balling Bobby was Bobby bugget right and and uh yeah tonight just looked awful again Andre Jackson Jr is our only consistent player off the bench at this point unless we’re talking about guys that are consistently bad yeah no listen I’m I’m I’m right
There with you I don’t have you know he he’s he’s got to just be a lot better he’s got to be smarter and that’s the thing you would think you know that as a as a veteran um but you know he he doesn’t always play like a vet let’s go
To Twitter at he Manson says uh Andre Jackson Jr is a Difference Maker so Andre Jackson Jr clearly has been you know from from from you guys watching it and has been the talk of all the comments says Ajax is Difference Maker the man is every seems like every loose
Ball is his every hustle play to be made he makes he is the difference in this game in my opinion you you could certainly make that argument that Andre Jackson Jr tonight was the difference and he definitely I mean if you want to go from the you know I would say you
Know the big three was you know did everything tonight but if you want to talk about From the Bench from the production from the from the Milwaukee Bucks bench I don’t know where they at without Andre Jackson Jr putting up 10 points 10 rebounds so I I don’t disagree
With that at all um a lot of talk about trades as well at light serah says horse to get kaminga Looney or Wiggins for any combination of Bobby Pat Maran Anna filler Wiggins is more attainable defensive flexibility is outstanding but offense needs to be rediscovered kaminga has high offensive upside defense is not
Yet at Wiggins level but passable uh and then uh there was another one from I think Green Ranger on uh on YouTube says let me know when we move Bobby for Marcus Smart then post up plays produce nothing when Bob scores in the floor of the offense I’m cool but them post-ups
Are awful so you get again we we’re getting to that part of the Season where we see and hear a lot of trade talk a lot of trade discussion again there’s been so much talk and I think when we talk about trades you know John and
Chris they we get into well if you move Bobby you got to get another big back and again my Counterpoint to that has always been Bobby Porters don’t play like a big anyway I got a 16 guy that doesn’t play like he’s 16 so do what
What when you say I need a big back I I’m not I don’t have a backup big currently so I can get in my op opinion when we talk about that filler guy like like like Pat K if you throw him in trade to me he’s a filler guy or AJ
Green filler guy uh to just throw in for for compensation you know to make a trade work yeah our filler guy coming back can be just a give me somebody 69ine 610 611 that can hang around and maybe they’re a little bit better playing defense maybe they’re not as
Good offensively and again I wouldn’t even mind that because when Dame is in the game in the first quarter those are less offensive ISO post-ups that I got to give Bobby Porter if I got that filler you know generic big guy in the game when Yannis comes out that can you
Know roam the paint rim run or whatever I’d rather have somebody and this is my opinion I’d Rather somebody can rim rim run and do that and play hard defense do that kind of stuff versus Bobby Porter where it’s inconsistent production if he’s scoring all time great but again so
Too many times he’s just inconsistent for me and like I said I you know just you seen Shark Tank uh Bobby Porter I’m out you’re you’re you’re out you’re out you’re not you’re not going to give him some sort of crazy deal where you taking 70% equity for the for
The um yeah I mean and I guess we could have this conversation now but I but I but I certainly would say I know closer to the trade deadline and we’re we’re less than a month out from that yeah um we can talk a little bit more about this
Because my thing and like you always remind you know myself especially is that the salaries have to match right so I’m curious about what’s horse trade strategy because right now we got our second round pick and I think we got the second round pi we got from the Blazers
Right so those so those are draft picks that we can move and then obviously you have Pat and Bobby who if I’m not mistaken Pat and Bobby combin for a salary of what 20 mil a year they’re combin total that’s about right right and then and then of course like you
Said yeah you have dairy bird you got Maron here but we really don’t have a ton to give up um so we’re going to have to get creative there but my my only question is when we’re trading right are we going to make a are we we going are we going
To swing for for a guy who’s a true impact player right are we going to swing for a Y’all Gonna think I’m crazy are we swing for bogonovich I love him out of out of Detroit right I I can play a little bit of D he’s a big be a big
Man we can make this thing work right do we swing for him right do we swing for obviously I guess the rest half the league trying to swing for the uh for for Murray which he’s not I mean I think that’s probably gonna be the LA thing
Too do we swing for an Andrew Wiggins right do we swing for that big impa guy right or do we make trades for guys who are Maybe not as impact on their own but if you get get a few of them you know you you may you may build you may have
Some death pieces I don’t know what about Colin ston right there’s a lot of guys who I think I mean we go after right what what move do we want to make here yeah and just know it’ll be something like I know horse will cook something up he’ll have something up his
Sleeve at at the deadline but I think it’s a little too early to kind of speculate on on what move in particular it’s going to be who from the Bucs it’ll be and then who from the other team that that’s shipped to the buck so I think
It’s just a little too early to tell but I think there will be a move yeah 100% it’s got to be mve there’s no way around it you know you just can’t you know even again tonight you know I I just love how much Andre Jackson Jr’s playing and again it’s the
Fact that he’s earned it and it’s the fact that Dr Griffin has given him the opportunity to earn it um you know I think he could play a little bit better without fouling um I think but that’s like one of the things he has to work on offensively you know there’s some
Obviously things he can refine within his game but for a rookie I mean people are talking about it you know that he’s um he’s just a he he’s been a steel uh and you know we talked about horse you know we’ve had a debate about horon his
Drafting and how he’s drafted in the past but you know you you can’t you look at at an Andre Jackson Jr and you see the type of impact he has and the impact he can have I mean yeah like I said he he’s just you want more guys like that
That are going to play with with that energy and that effort and that passion and every single time he steps on the floor I mean like I said it’s like a a more refined better he gives the same effort the NASA gives like everybody’s making a joke about the NASA when he got
In during the end of the Boston game and you know he gets the flopping he gets the flopping technical with the first 10 seconds gets in the game he’s running around just like doing whatever Andre Jackson Jr gives you all of that but like actually plays like a basketball
Player so you know I I think you know he does he he just makes the right plays he makes winning plays and he makes his mistakes at 100% so you know you want more of that again when you talk about who you want to trade for to me
Everybody’s looking for a three and D way you know that’s everybody’s looking for I do think it’s got to be somebody perimeter oriented who does play a little bit better defense I do think Malik bees I I I I don’t know what’s gonna happen I don’t think Malik bees is
Gonna be the starter you know when we get to the end of the year we’ll see if he can close out some games but it’s just hard to put that back court together but I will say two games in a row I think Damen Lillard has I again we
Can talk about Damen Lillard and he you know what he put up 27 tonight um again we Haven really you know 277 and six and playing well Giannis does what he does every single night but the defensive impact from Damen L I thought has been
High two games in a row I thought he’s played a really good game had two steals tonight that’s not always the biggest indicator of how well you’re playing defensively but I thought Dame again is just given the effort on that end of the floor against Boston he gave it a lot to
Tonight Malik Bey again tonight also I thought gave a ton of effort and that’s all I ask for from the guys is yeah I’m again two games in a row I can’t I can’t tell you how many times tonight I didn’t see guys just blowing by you know our
Our Defenders so I don’t know what has happened or why but they have stepped up and decided that at the very least we’re not just GNA let guys run past us straight into Brook Lopez and I think honestly I think it has made Brook Lopez a more effective um Defender as well
When you’re not allow he’s not under constant you know barrage and attack and lastly on on Brook Lopez I’ve noticed this as well he had eight rebounds tonight eight rebounds I have noticed he’s not tapping the ball out as much it’s so much you’re right there go grab
It and again tonight I thought he did a much better job of going out just grabbing rebounds that came to him so just a much better job all in all from a lot of the guys tonight and again it pays off the Milwaukee Bucks win the rebound we talked about a rebound ble
Battle the other night when they beat up on Boston but tonight they win it again 50 to 41 over go State Warriors yeah yeah and again like I said earlier in the show this is the second time they’ve been over 50 rebounds in a row which is beautiful right I think season average
Is around 44 uh I think season average around 44 and they’re in the low teams and then I think Boston was the uh League leader with around 47 I like 48 rebounds per game right so getting up over 50 obviously impressive this this is the the second night in the row we talk
About this all the time defense and rebounding a lot of that has to do with effort so love to see it right definitely love to see it interesting thing though talk speaking of rebounds you realize the Bucks and the Warriors tonight had the same amount of points in
The paint both at 62 which I found boy how rare is that right both teams have the same exact amount of points in the paint which is impressive stat when you think about it yeah I think just obviously it’s going to help when your backup Wing guard or whatever he he gets
10 rebounds himself with with Andre Jackson jior the thing is about him man is it just seems like he knows his role and he’s bought into that role and and when you look at what he did last year with Yukon he wasn’t the top scorer they had Tristan Newton and Jordan Hawkins
And so he kind of played that same role basically he was he wasn’t really the scorer and he’s done that so far in the NBA he’s brought that that mindset that mentality to the NBA and uh it’s looking good I really like him as a
Player yeah no I I I agree I I really like him too and you know I just think as this thing progresses you’ve got to find those guys that are that are going to make impacts and the guys that aren’t going to make impacts you know they’re
They’re gonna their minutes are going to fall by the way side and again you know that it just speaks to the 27 minutes and just earning it guys gotta earn it and so I like said I’m happy about uh Adrian Griffin um you know uh to said at
BSD gazelle said another Master another master class from the doctor played Ajax 28 minutes um and then 14 Coco chicks pay Kitman said good win little bit of a grme but nothing wrong with a win that’s a win what we say JT hey take some gritty with the pretty
Let’s get it let’s get it there it is what we doing exactly what we doing and and uh 100% he says uh keep grinding and improving still a lot of ball to be played and get better let me ask you guys this and and again so the buck
Score 129 Golden State 118 again8 is still you know that’s a that’s a that’s a high number to give up and again we talked about the best defense is another made three and the Bucks play very well they played to a high uh a high level
Offensively 24 33 27 that was your big three numbers Point scored uh Chris Giannis and Dame anybody want to do quick math for me on that what’s that is that 84 from the from the big three how’s my math looking I got that right
Or am I wrong that uh I think I’m right I think I got 84 uh let me know if I’m on that but but my here’s my question to both of you is that what it’s going to take and again I think if you if if those guys
Are around that Mark that 80 to 90 Mark I know it’s somewhere in there if you’re around that Mark you should win most of the most of the games that you play is that the only way that the Bucs can guarantee they win can you even depend
On 27 33 24 can let me not say 24 Chris I think that’s a little high can you always depend on 20 from Chris 30 from gianis and basically and and 25 plus from Dame what’s that 25 and 30 that’s 55 and then that would give you 75
Points from The Big Three so could you could you do you think that those are good numbers to always depend on because we’ve seen Damen Lillard you know kind of Topsy Turvy and he’s been at the bottom end of that and he’s also been at
The you know I think he has scored 40 points before but but how consistent can those numbers be I think like I said 25 25 20 25 or so from Dame and then 30 from Giannis can can they do that and and is that a recipe for for winning every
Time I would say no not not at all and it’s not taking anything look Yiannis and Dame those guys I’m comfortable think I’m comfortable saying they can buy for least 60 points every night right I can see that happening and they and they and generally right if you look
At their a yeah okay Yannis Giannis Dame one of those guys is gonna get 30 points and then the other guy is probably gonna get at least 25 most of the time Chris I don’t know right sometimes he looks great sometimes he doesn’t he’s all he’s
He’s he’s you know he’s he’s kind of up and down but but but here’s the issue that I have are you going to need them to do that to keep winning games if you have no depth if you have no depth on the bench if your bench can’t give you much
Right if your bench tonight we got 23 points on the bench right we got 10 points from Andre Jackson Jr which that’s not typically his role it’s not typically what he does but if your bench can’t give you any point you’re gonna need that like you’re 100% gonna need
Chris to have an excess of 15 points every single night which I think he’s averaging around 14 right now so that’s it’s not unreasonable but to expect Chris to still score 20 I don’t I don’t know because right now he has 14 I need to see I’m I’m G look
Up Chris I want you to keep right in on this too I’mma look up I’m gonna look up his his his uh his his um his plus 36 his his minutes and 36 but but right now if he 20 in 25 minutes remember he’s been on a minutes restriction for most
He was on minut restriction for most of the year he’s giving you basically 15 right now if he’s if if you extrapolate that let me look up his his per 36 numbers and see what they look like but I I mean so so John you’re saying no you
Can’t expect it Nick C says mid is not consistent you can’t depend on him if he has a mismatch he’ll abuse it but he’s susceptible to horrible shooting nights Chris what what what what do you think on that so yeah definitely look up the per
36 I’d love to see that stat and just see if if that equates to to 20 but so I honestly have the same belief but not with being worried about Chris Middleton I think it’s more so Dame so far this year I mean can he really get you 30
Night in and night out at this point not over the last month he hasn’t and I I think he has to be at the right point in the season for him to do that on a night nightly basis in the playoffs like he has to have a certain amount of momentum
Because he can also I mean when you’re taking as many shots as he does you he can also have streaky nights as well well so here’s my so here’s my issue right Dame I agree with you I think Giannis is probably the guy you guaranteed to get you about 30 points
Every night right Giannis is your guarantee there Dame that takes a little bit of pressure off Dame if if you the numbers right Dame will get I think Dame I’m comfortable saying Dame will get you 25 a night right Dame will get you somewhere in the mid 20 this is a a
Lower bar for Chris Middleton like like I think Chris Middleton getting 20 points isn’t as crazy like for him to do that like on a nightly basis isn’t as crazy as Dame to get you 30 every time so true I think it’s obviously it’s Chris Middleton taking a step back in that
Role okay okay per per 36 for Chris midton he is averaging 20 points and six boards seven assists three turnovers in in in his per uh per 36 which is CRA which is not far off it’s not at all which is not far off from last year and and the year before
And yeah he he hovers in in the title year he plays 66 games he was 20 he had 20 he was a 22 um 225 and six excuse me excuse me 226 he’s 226 and six uh in in the in the title year 21 um and this year actually let me take that
Back in the title year he was 22 six yeah he’s about 226 and six and so right now he’s 27 and six um so his part 36 numbers are not bad at all um Nick C says he’s out of shape he his handle keeps declining he can’t slide
His feet anymore um 20 a game is actually very high uh expectation for him I don’t think it is I I don’t know I yeah yeah go ahead Chris I I mean the thing is is he’s been doing this throughout his whole career 20 points is
He he shoots enough shots for him to get a good 20 a game anyway and I I have trust that he can knock those shots down and be a efficient with it as well like like tonight he shot 13 13 times and made 10 of them like he 20 is not that
Not that big when you see him drop 40 in the finals but is is he that guy is that’s is he that guy they can drop they can drop for is he that guy he’s not that guy but I also don’t think that that’s not where that’s not what we need out of
Him we we need just need 20 like here’s my thing though I don’t know I don’t even know if we need if we need 20 out of him right if he gives you 15 and then you get Beasley giving you at least 10 to 15 right yeah that that lowers the
Burden on Chris Chris gives you 15 beasy gives you somewhere between 10 and 15 Bobby gives you what Bobby supposed what Bobby’s been Bobby ain’t gonna be and now that’s the well saying that’s that’s the problem though right the problem is that you you can split some of Chris’s
Load with Beasley you know because Beasley’s gonna give you a few threes right okay Y’all Gonna pause me go ahead go ahead and Pa but you get what I’m saying like you can just listen y’all what I’m saying right like you can yeah they can they
Can they can they can they can share in the work right like they can they can they can they can they sh they could share the workload and to be able and then you know between Chris and Beasley if you’re looking at guys who just gonna
Get get get shots Up Get Buckets for this for the squad and then Crowder too I mean I just think we have to look at this in I say it all broken record any aggregate we have to look at more than just the big three I think at this point
Because I don’t think Chris is is uh man he Liv a little bit on reputation I know you just read the first 36 numbers but I think all of us that watch are like yeah I don’t know if you respect Chris to put up 20 night and and you know what’s
Crazy you know I thought and and have you noticed this too that that now again so against Boston Chris was the primary defender on Jason Tatum so and that is what’s getting scary to me is that they’re is this what we’re seeing again Jay Crow’s G to come back too but is
This what we’re seeing where where Dr Griffin is gonna say okay well you know our best Wing Defender clearly is not Malik Beasley and now we gonna throw Chris Milton on those guys and I will say again he’s held up the last two games he’s held up very well defensively
I just question whether or not how long that’s going to last maybe that is him getting his legs back because again I’ve been impressed with Chris Milton um on the on the defensive side of the ball um but clearly they’re going to need some help to figure this thing out again
Whether that’s Jay Crowder and some other pieces you know it it it’s going to you know it just remains to be seen what they’re what they’re going to be able to do but you know again I I tend to believe that Chris can put those types of numbers up it’s a top heavy
Basketball team and I think John you said something to that effect where you were asking you know do you need that and I go yeah like you gonna need I mean think about the Bucks put up 129 tonight any and again you know that made it you
Know an 11-point game Bucks win anything less than that and again that’s a close basketball game like if you put up if you only got 122 like that’s 12218 that’s a that game’s in the balance so like this game the Bucks scored just enough points to where this thing was it
Was semic comfortable tonight as they finish this thing out anything less than what they what they had that’s not a comfortable basketball game so I I mean again until this defense picks up and they’re good all the time and until you like said finish figure out those possessions where Bobby por is taking
The ball and doing whatever the hell Bobby poris does I yeah you going like I said you’re you’re you’re you the Bucks are still in that mode where they got it where when you look at Boston and Boston had another blowout win tonight when you
Look at Boston or you look at some of these different teams that play ball you watch them and you go okay I see why they are what they are their record to me makes sense how they’re playing makes sense the way they’re able to beat teams defeat teams it makes sense with the
Bucks and again I know it’s a national media thing we can look at the record but there are still some of those question marks that linger about why they look the way they look at different times wholeheartedly and that’s the thing but but but give Dr Griffin look you got to win
These games ugly it ain’t Prett it looks a mess it doesn’t and I get the questions and everything else here but you’re still you’re still winning despite this right so I want to make sure that we that we that we that we approach this one the right way we are
Winning guys we’re not 12 and 27 we’re not we’re not stinging this thing up right it’s just it’s it’s you know it needs work and you do have questions about sustainability here’s my thing if this bench doesn’t get better you know how Steph Curry got rest tonight and this and that I mean
Right how much rest can you I mean how much rest are you gonna be able to give Giannis Chris Dane right like I just I don’t know and and and and then think about how many minutes these guys are gonna have to play if you don’t have any
Bench that I just I I am I I do think right now this pace is a bit troubling one of one of our listeners said said it a while ago he talked about how he’s worried that these guys are playing too many minutes and looks like this what
They have to but but that’s the that’s the thing and and but when you look at the minutes and again I and again I I actually take the the other side of this on the minutes debate to me every year in the playoffs Giannis looks winded and
Tired and I used to say at all time during buds years even when the Bucks were wi like they’d be up by 25 all game and Bud would rest the stars for the whole fourth quarter and I go dog I don’t care that we’re up 2
Y has got to get over 30 minutes I mean you can’t play every night and only play 27 minutes and then the playoffs come and I need you to go 40 that can’t like it doesn’t it don’t work you can’t stop and start it like that so again y had
Has a slight uptick minutes this year I think he’s up to around 35 36 minutes but I think that’s good because when the playoffs hit yes I need you at 38 39 40 going into the 40s and it can’t be that you get winded when that happens and I
Think that’s been a big issue that happened throughout the playoffs over the past few year couple years um and I that shouldn’t be a problem this year because Yan should be used to playing you know heavier minutes now Trey and Chris up what’s the problem with Giannis play and we we’ve
Been there we don’t have a problem with Giannis playing these minutes as much during the season except what’s the problem Giannis playing these kind of minutes in the damn summer that’s the problem we have that’s the problem we have right cuz that’s wear and tear that’s tread on them too that’s the
Issue with Giannis right the problem with jannis man listen you you can’t play obviously not gonna play 82 games right you’re not gonna play 65 66 games 35 minutes plus then go play a whole summer playing 30 to 40 minutes too right and doing all that too and then
And then at some point not expect your body to break down tell tell that Greek national team to pay him man listen right because yeah you’re right because because right now we care about how Giannis looks in these 82 games we really care about how jannis looks in
That 20 in what that uh that 28 games after the made2 right we care about the playoff series I just I having said that not to go on a tangent I I do think you do have to get some help here because you’re you you’re saying they’re not
Playing too many minutes but Trey they don’t really have a choice at this point with that bench St they don’t really have a choice and that is the problem true very true yeah I mean I think they’ll be they’ll be definitely well ramped up for the playoffs when
They when the minutes come so yeah think but it’s good that they’re they’re getting that out of the way now and kind of forcing themselves to to be out there with all with the big three so yeah um there’s been a little bit of chatter and
Since we’re on the topic of minutes we should talk about the back toback but I do want to point out that there’s been some chatter about um about Maran not celebrating throughout the game um with the teammate with the bench and again he’s falling out of rotation I I heard
About you know some of it I I actually saw Malik bees when he got pulled I thought I saw there was I think the lob from Ajax one of those lobs I think happened when when they pulled out when they pulled Beasley out and he didn’t
Get up I try again I try not to read in too much to like people now your boy John tyus Paul Paul uh Paul was talking about how he has some he some he had some homies that you know his friends were sitting behind the bed and this
Team has given up on Adrien Griffin because he had his sources behind the bench who his friends that bought some tickets somehow saw the bench I’m like hey were they behind the bch the last two games they didn’t want two in a row now how how Dr Griff is the only guy the
Only coach in the NBA who loses his team he Lo apparently he lost him in Vegas he lost in stard year he lost he the only person that loses team and regains him every every other week I don’t understand it because he won 27 games on accident that’s the thing right the 27
Games out of 39 games he’s won 27 these are accidents this was not intentional I mean I can’t I can’t with Paul but I ask but I ask you getting off that but I ask you you know there were again people are taking photos of it and looking at it
What do you make of again Maran falling out of rotation and this chatter now of yeah well other because again you see theis and again and that’s why I go back to and this I go back to all that talk about um theis and how he’s not a real
NBA player and all this stuff and then I remember John do you remember uh um uh Jeff Teague who won who who has obviously was on the bck team in 2021 the championship team and Jeff Teague was on you know has a podcast it’s very funny podcast if you haven’t seen check
It out but he talked about how you know well we was on the [ __ ] we a think we was gonna win that Brooklyn series and it’s like that’s why like that that’s why the nases is on a roster and some of these guys who are better than him
Technically are not because I don’t want that kind of foolishness on my bench where I got guys that ah yeah we gonna lose they in there I man I I keep I used to be I I played basketball back back back in my uh back in high school and we
And again I I was a [ __ ] guy on the basketball team and so man we be back there I’m not jumping man I used be back there dude named juice and went and now juice thought he should play and so me and Juice back and and it’s so funny
Juice made a bet on the we down we down two three seconds left juice back on the bench talking about hey I got I got $10 we lose I got $10 we lose and then and then my homie Thomas Clark hit a three ball at the end of the buzzer we
Laughing at him like you don’t want like those guys that try to that are like again and I’m not calling Marina cancer at all but I’m but I’m really talking about jeft you don’t want that that type of stuff to creep into your lock room so
I’ll take a the nas because again the nas ain’t gonna play and if Mar bamp is getting DMP CDs he ain’t playing a Jeff teag ain’t hardly playing the guys that ain’t playing I’d rather them be up cheering for my guys versus nayay sitting down upset with the sad face I
Guess I just want to get you know your thought on that yeah the Nay Sayers your thoughts on that I mean yeah that’s important right that locker room is important too having that I think chemistry I think all that is important I think the biggest thing is look guys this is
Not there’s not always going to be you know happy uh warm and fuzzy moments there’s tension I I I hope our listeners know look you do realize like there are players on every team that don’t get along guys fight way more than y’all think they fight way more than you think
I’m talking throwing Fist and everything in the team has to break that that happens frequently on every professional team guys fight right I don’t need these guys to be best friends I I I certainly don’t I’ll say this I think if you do have someone who uh is a locker room
Issue or has an attitude or has a problem right and the performance on the court does not justify keeping him around I’m always a fan of get him out get him out listen I’m gonna get you I’m gonna get you out of here right because
What I’m not gonna let you do is rot this thing from the inside out having said that this team is 27 and 12 and and I see them cheering for each other I I I don’t know what Paul’s talking about maybe Paul caught a a moment here but
Whatever issues are there they clearly haven’t had much of an impact on this squad right so I don’t know that having said that though if marjon is miserable and he is starting to pout right if he’s not gonna put his big boy pants on then hey get
Him out of here get get him out of here what can we get for him a two yeah fine give us a two ween trade give us another two weeken trade maybe somebody give Mo a couple Twos for you no 100% I agree I I think what he if he
Was like playing better he wouldn’t have anything to worry about he had his opportunity he he was play he played a lot of minutes down throughout this first uh half of the season so I think he had his chance and you know he all that hype in the off season dropping 80
Points in the crossover and doing pretty well in summer league got to his head he right and to be honest like it’s just the harsh reality of it he’s not that good like you can you can play as well as you want in the summer league in the
Crossover but you get out there on the floor and if the product does not translate then it doesn’t translate they’re two different two different games three different games not the the NBA regular season is not the crossover at all and neither is is it the summer
League so let me let me correct you he’s not good at let me correct you he’s not good at all right he’s not good he’s not he’s not good at all listen I I I get it every once in a while he’ll throw up x amount of Point fasis have like what 27
Or 20 points last year last disres I’m not I’m not I’m not I’m not disrespect saying no I’m saying I’m not disrespecting the nases with that comparison I’m I’m just gonna say I’m just gonna say look Mar disrespectful Mar has all the tools all the tools in the he’s got length he I
Would go do it to you go ahead yeah all right well I saw your face when I said it down SL I got what he got we got we off the rails at this go go ahead man go go ahead man go ahead Chris goad I was just waiting on you you I
Don’t even know if uh let me get now now we now we shacking now we shacking here we go I say oh y’all no yeah I don’t even know if yeah I don’t think Mar fits this team and um I don’t think he fits
Any team he does fit the team no no he okay but but Chris he fits the team it’s just he’s not playing up to because no to your point he does have the size right to play in the NBA he he but at some point he’s just going to be a you
Have to let that project fold at that point he has a decent jump shot yeah go let somebody else work on that project we don’t want to do it anymore we’re tired see every 10 games if he plays every 10 games only and you’re only
Going to see these gifts that he has as a basketball player right these things that qualify him to be in the league what’s it worth if every want get you’re too young to be that if you were like the 14th man on the roster and he was
Like all right he gonna give you some he gonna get some he gonna get somebody some work every you know x amount of games he comes in fine but you’re a young guy like we need you it’s not like you Robin Lopez were like kind of making
Sure you hold that chair down right like it’s not like you it’s not like Robin Robin Lopez might dress out for games I’m thinking I don’t even know if he got the uniform on he didn’t put his inso in his shoes got right he might as well be in slides
On the Ben that’s what I’m saying like right but Mar we we we just expected so much more from you because we invested so much more from you and at this point he gonna go to Dante route right the thing is Dante playing and Dante’s playing and that’s the thing j young
Dante’s playing very well right now in new yor man right Dante a ball right but he but it wasn’t here I mean Dante had his moments here but he was injured and there was some inconsistencies there and then Dante would you know he do his T date thing at an inopportune time yeah
And and to your point Chris I do agree with you you said you know he had his opportunities and and you can’t even it’s not even like one of those things where you can go and a lot of times guys will go oh well I never got my shot he
Got his shot and again he’s getting passed up by a second round pick in Andre Jackson Jr who who is making the most of his opport making those hustle plays um so yeah you can’t even you can’t even make that argument that you didn’t get the chance you got the chance
And you’re getting passed up right now by a guy uh who’s younger than you who’s fighting than you and looks like he wants to be in uh be in the game a little bit more this is uh Adrian Griffin on Andre Jackson J tonight he
Said uh he’s a big time player he was a winner in college has a motor like I haven’t seen in a long time imposes his will in the game he just made Big Time plays he made winning plays that’s who Dre is this is his first double double
He’s shaping into being a really really special player in this league that’s a word from uh Adrien Griffin Dr Adrian Griffin tonight on uh Andre Jackson Jr his rookie I do want to get into um The backto Backs um oh Nick C oh I gotta talk about Nick C says Dante was good
Very good no he wasn’t he got traded because he couldn’t stay healthy he wanted more money than he deserved based on his performances no he d i TR to stop this real quick Dante was not good here in Milwaukee he he again he was okay he
Had want some of those you know fake games where he he played with a lot of hustle a lot of energy he jumped he had what what they call what’s the co-ord sneaky ass he’s a sneaky athlete right you know that kind of he did that kind
Of Dante D hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on right because Dante was going to G’s Clipper we already know where Dante was getting hair he was he wanted Sports Clips he wasn’t he Dante we talking about we talk about Dante you
Thinking one thing when you hear the first name and then you thinking another thing when you hear that last name right all name team Dante Divan chenzo I’m gonna put some respect on that brother’s name because he was on that Championship winning team he tore his Achilles in
That um scooter for the champion TS ailles or whatever that was Hey and that was that was a a Monumental moment in the Bucs winning Championship was him was him on that scooter so I’m gonna give him that respect right it just didn’t work out because again it’s it’s
Not about contributor it’s about expectations and the Bucks invested a lot in Dante as well and he just didn’t live up to it unfortunately Mar is another pick that’s just not going to live up to what we what we need you can’t you can’t give us what we need
Right like you just can’t you can’t give the BS what they need Colin Racine says uh why are you willing to give up him on him already he needs practice and guidance I think you know just know again uh and then uh Nick C says give me
Jordan Norah over Mar see I’m not gonna go that route either nor is another guy who you know I’m not taking him over over a Maran Vamp he’s kind of trash who who’s the other guy uh Bren Forbes B Bren Forbes is another guy speaking of he was draft him no no we
Didn’t we didn’t we didn’t we didn’t draft him but uh Bren forb by the way like y’all seen Bren for’s wife no I haven’t go ahead and do your Googles I haven’t yeah you go Googles um I know he didn’t he get in trouble for DV but but wasn’t his wife
An adult film star is that right I don’t I don’t know I don’t was his wife like an adult filmar or something okay okay it’s not this thing completely unraveled but I thought his wife was something I don’t know allegedly supposedly she might have been okay um well let us know in the
Comments um people got um yeah so you know let’s try to get back let’s get back to back to backs um and so Steph Curry didn’t play tonight again if you’re a Golden State Warriors fan and this is my my question um this is my question about
The Golden State Warriors so if I’m off the bucks for one second I just don’t I I don’t understand what they’re doing because right now if I I’m just want to make sure I’m correcting the standings Golden State sits 12th in the uh in the Western Conference 1821 so three games
Back from they’re three games games um under 500 nine and a half games out of first they’re game and a half out of the play End uh they’re three and seven in their last 10 I don’t understand for the life of me why you’re resting Steph Curry tonight I
Don’t understand for the life of me why you have why uh Draymond Green is still sitting down and not playing when you you’re trying to like what is the goal here like what are they actually doing are you not trying to win games and so I guess I’m just confused as to the
Strategy from the go State Warriors and again it goes back to the back Tob backs where the the Boston Celtics I don’t know if you saw all the media who just I mean oh it was so much coping going on for the Boston Celtics cope cope cope
With the loss oh can you believe all of this will happen if you play back Tob backs getting Golden State played a back toback just now and we’re far more competitive than without Steph Curt far more competitive than Boston was La the other night so don’t give me that
Backtack stuff but again even on Golden State I just don’t understand understand I don’t understand what you’re doing you’re three games under 500 and you’re resting guy you’re resting your guys and then you’re also still got Draymond Green on a ramp up you need all the help
You can get I just I don’t I guess I’m confused as to what’s going on in Golden State anybody got any answers and then just generally back Tob backs I’m I’m trying to figure out why you know what to what to make of all these backto
Backs and how how much they impact the game actually and again I guess you know my take is this ain’t the first they the the schedu makers have tried to stop all the back-to-backs you you know moving forward for these guys and they’ they’ve made the schedule they they’ve bent over
Backwards for these n for these NBA guys and they still cry and wide and they don’t want to play they can’t play can’t play hard they cry all the time back to I guess I I don’t I don’t get all of it I I feel like the Bucks play back to
Backs a far more often than a lot of teams I mean I feel like the Bucks have had a ton of back Tob backs and yeah I the problem that I see is that you’re trying to solve a problem that’s impossible to solve without taking drastic measures you can’t force guys to
Guys just aren’t going to do it they don’t want to do it they’re going to keep finding ways so uh my my wife’s cousin uh flew to the Milwaukee game tonight because she wanted her sons to get a chance to see Giannis play Steph Curry yeah yeah yeah they flew from St
Louis so yeah no that might have hurt a little bit that might that might have hurt a little bit was probably a short flight right but they spent a lot of money a lot of dollars and cents had great seats at the five Forum to see Giannis play Steph Curry and uh that
That didn’t that didn’t quite work out but I just don’t think you’re gonna Force these players to do it they’re just they’re not they’re not going to they don’t they and the Warriors The Warriors are a curious case because on the court they’ve been pretty dysfunctional if you look at it right
They’re like 18 and 21 now but there’s been some games look absolutely terrible Klay Thompson they they talked about him looking like a shell of himself Draymond Green I you know do we need really need to say more Chris Paul Chris Paul’s got what a broken wrist hand yeah something like
That yeah he’s out for a while you know there were issues with kaminga starting coming off the bench whatever that is too I I’m not sure what’s going on at Golden State at this point right I think it’s probably a situation where if Curry goes to Curry and like listen I want to
Rest you just do it yeah because I think it’s the organization who’s doing this not a lot of times well again A lot of times it’s not the players it’s the orgs that are that are pushing this rest thing but go ahead I honestly but I
Think what Steph’s been able to do this season is he’s probably the only thing normal like when it comes to he’s playing like himself he he’s doing his thing to will this team to to victories and trying to get this team to jail and they they’re just not very good together
And you got some guys basically washing up in terms of Draymond U getting suspended Ed and talking about retiring and Klay Thompson talking about retiring and all this they just got a lot of weird stuff going on but I do think Steph is probably the only one that’s
Like normal out there it seems like him and the young guys even Steve ker seems like he’s disinterested um yeah yeah again I again the Draymond retired he was I just can’t stand his pod get out of here dog he wasn’t about to you wasn’t about his and
His that was the funny thing kept coming on social media is like well I I I thought retiring and then uh Commissioners commissioner helped me not retire didn’t you just sign didn’t you just sign a deal for like $90 million what you and you was gonna retire and
He’s only like year two of that deal so I’m like you wasn’t about to retire what are you talking about and then attention way too much to retire come on man and then here’s the thing they not asking you to do nothing crazy hey don’t punch nobody while you playing basketball
Anybody ask you to do nothing what do you have to retire because they tell they the game hey don’t kick anybody hey don’t stop on on sabonis and you you know what I’m might have to retire what yeah what you talking about I don’t I don’t even believe the story to be
Honest I I just if he was gonna do it he would have did it so yeah I don’t want to hear that uh Nick C says all the teams play the same amount of back-to-backs throughout the season um Kyle says backto backs don’t impact uh nothing uh tired of
Hearing these millionaires cry about having to play two games in a row remember this is a game I work hard I work harder than these dudes five six days in a row making a small percentage of what they do I’m not trying to hear it and then Nick comes back and says uh
Being a million millionaire doesn’t mean you have to withstand and play through injuries or risking them but that’s my thing yeah I again two again you play a game injuries are a part of the game and I again the guys back in the day played backto backs at a much higher rate and
They didn’t get to fly in first class and well I say first class these guys got their own chartered flights that they’re flying on so no you know again you you you playing a very limited amount of back-to-backs in the first place everything’s catered to you you
Got catered meals you’re in the best of hotels you you’re you’re not riding on buses everywhere you’re getting chartered flights yeah these back come on least you can do is show up and play when you are fully healthy um so again if you’re actually injured sit out if
You’re not go out there and play play basketball and again and I can’t wait I can’t wait I hope that that because I saw this coming with embiid you know they put in the new restriction about you have to play at least 65 games to get Awards and I think embiid has about
Eight more he can miss I’m so glad because what he tried to do early in the season Joel and B tried to like strategically Miss games here and there when he was healthy and I said it right before he got act I said hey well if he actually gets injured that he’s gonna
It’s gonna be a problem for him getting these Awards and now he’s suffering from a real injury where hey if you didn’t if you didn’t try to fake all these injuries and sit out every other night to leading up to it so you can miss just
Enough to make the cut off you’d have been fine but now you got a real injury and now and and and now you’re gonna U You’re Gonna Miss You Gonna probably miss out on Awards uh Nick says embiid’s done he ain’t going for words but again Joel embiid Joel embiid was on
Interviews crying about how he needs these Awards because they’re gonna Pro uh dam is saying it was bigger than the championship getting these Awards and so he is Thoroughly invested in getting Awards and again I I I I hope that he misses too many and he doesn’t get it
Tonight oh not tonight but throughout the year yeah what’s that number 65 I would agree I I wholeheartly agree with that I really do want to see the you know where I think that starts messing people up too is you know based on uh compensation based on what all NBA based on that eligibility for some of these contracts right like this like the
Uh the super max I think that was that tied to all NBA um or some of these different extensions too yeah this is going to really cost guys who elect to rest to a little bit a little bit too much right and so you know the NBA is
Trying to solve this issue but you know like I I 100% agree with what KY and rine says like listen we they they don’t it does not seem like they work very hard here when you’re you’re asking guys look you gotta you got to play a back
Toback you can’t play a back toback okay you got to play 65 out of 82 games oh that’s too much right oh that’s we need more rest I mean I don’t get it yeah I mean I agree with everything I there’s no reason they should be sitting out and doing all this
Even with the league trying to go out there and try and prevent that so yeah it’s it’s dumb all right let’s uh let’s give on some game balls here uh after 129 118 victory over the Golden State Warriors um I I’ll be short with my I’m
I I debated who to give this game ball to between Andre Jackson Jr and Chris Milton I am going to go with Chris um 33 minutes tonight 24-10 10 of 13 from the field that’s 77% shooting three of five from three 60% I’m gonna give it to Chris I again I
Thought his defense was pretty good outside of the you know he had two kind of kind of bad really bad turnovers uh he had the lob deanis which was which is Big had a couple lobs Yannis thought he played a very smart basketball game and he hit his shots uh Chris Milton
Offensively looks as good as he’s ever been outside of the turnovers uh and tonight he gets the guru game ball who you going with so I’m G split my game ball into two which sounds a little goofy right but I’m gonna I’m gonna give it to Andre Jackson Jr and I’m gonna say
That because you’ve seen we have seen his impact night in and night out his impact doesn’t always show up in the stat sheet but you can see it right and you see the plays that he makes and how that energizes and giv this gives this team a spark tonight the impact did show
Up in the shat in the stat sheet and on the court with 10- 10 so young fella good work congratulations man take this game ball and I’m G split it right I’m GNA give this I’m gonna give the other half of the game ball to the fourth quarter bucks offense fourth quarter
Explosion the Bucs scored 46 points in the fourth quarter if you want to put that in perspective they scored 21 points in the second quarter and 29 Points in the third quarter right that’s a grand total of 50 well then you turn around and score 46 in the fourth I mean
Listen I whatever it was they turned it on and uh and they and they were not going to be denied of this W tonight so salute to the bucks for for figuring this thing out in the fourth and and uh and being as aggressive as possible you
Can always uh count on JT to give the game ball to something that’s not a person said fourth quarter bucks offense all right well I’ll go with Dame then I guess that’s that’s the other guy we know what Giannis does look he Giannis was 33 he was dominant once again but
Dame look more confident out there knocking down open shots yeah I’ll give Dam game ball as well is there anything that gives Bucks fans a more Collective yawn than yanis scoring 30 points I mean it’s we do not appreciate that man we really don’t but the collective Yan oh
Jannis at 32 tonight I mean okay right that’s just Giannis doing Giannis things but we don’t we don’t appreciate like how tough that is to do night in and night out and how few players can actually do that in this league um K Racine says my game ball goes to trade
For figuring out technology Hey listen so not not me tonight so again tech tech guy goes to uh to our producer Chris King if depending on technology it’s listen you being we this show would would look uh look much different we’d be like them
Uh no don’t do it John no no no no no I’mma stop you don’t do it I know because I know you about I know you not not going to do it we we we we we we be all hold holding the phone never mind N I ain’t trying to you got
Me I’m I get into enough beefs by myself I ain’t going to do it all right G do you’re not on Twitter to defend I’d have to take I got I got I got I got you I got you I got you all right all right these people live I ain’t gonna do
It I’m not gonna do it thank you thank you um so again appreciate Chris King on the technology um let’s take a let’s take a look around the league Bucks winning 12918 Celtics 145 113 over the Rockets Rockets run a back toback so that game doesn’t count uh the Wizards
127 99 over the Hawks and see I’m look at Atlanta and again W 7-31 Atlanta 15- 23 you know Deonte Murray up for trade potentially a lot of guys you they blame who was the coach in Atlanta that that Trey young ran out of town um McMillan
Yeah yeah he ran he ran that McMillan out of town and now you got uh Quin Snider in there yeah they under 500 might probably miss the playoffs this year um 112 100 theak City Thunder very good basketball team 27- 11 the Knicks win 106 94 over the Grizzlies again the
Fire cell from the Grizzlies should be coming soon the Bulls W 22 116 went over to Spurs MAV dropped one to the pels and the Lakers the Lakers Lakers Lakers lose to the Utah Jazz been playing some really good baset A lot of people gave a
Bucs Flack for losing to the jazz jazz are like 10 have won like 10 of their last 12 they’re 20 20 Lakers since the inseason tournament and since they they won that tournament and they posted uh they they put the banner down they raised the banner for winning season
Tournament I believe the Lakers are 5 and 13 something like that like 5 and 12 5 and 13 since the uh since winning inseason tournament I told you it it meant nothing and no reason and again Lakers are showing you that inseason tournament is garbage they are now 19
And 20 uh and they sit currently outside of the uh playin tournament uh they’re they’re outside of it looking in uh let’s keep going um tonight the um see CJ Stout CJ stra had a big game um right as the uh as the Texans absolutely dismantled uh the uh the Cleveland
Browns Joe Flaco threw back toback pick sixes and then I’m assuming I haven’t seen it I’m assuming the Miami Dolphins lost yeah 267 Chiefs beat the Dolphins um a lot of snow going on so I told y about Tua I told y’all about Tua I I I I
Said it I said it man this dude is not he cannot Elevate this team if everything you got the arguably the best play caller you have an explosive offense you got the fastest white outs you got this right and if if if if I need Tua to throw that ball five to
Seven yards hey we good we good if I need two to throw that ball F I mean boy you better be open that better that better be a that better be that deep out right that better be that that post corner I mean like he just can’t do it
He cannot he cannot put this team on his back he can Elevate this team he’s really just a guy right he’s just a guy dressed up as an MVP candidate this year but Dua is really not that great and we’ve been I’ve been saying that and you
Guys are seeing it now Cam said it too Cam man Cam said that too a lot Ryan Clark Ryan Clark Ryan Clark said a whole lot but you know what quick side note right before we jump into this uh Bren Forbes wife Elsa Jean is her name and uh y’all don’t y’all don’t
Want to do your Googles unless y really want to do your Googles but what I did say is right I’m just saying like you know about our former career you’re right you don’t have to check LinkedIn to see you can just do Googles trust me any anyway anyway Tua he’s just a guy
Like he’s really not that good and I I can we finally just admit it can we finally admit Tu is not even a top 10 QB in the NFL T’s not Tu might not be 15 well I mean when when Tyreek Hill himself comes out and be like like
Anybody can be my quarterback then like you know that some of that is just based off of what Tyreek Hill is able to produce and how how good he is so I think yeah I mean Tu is definitely just a guy hey and then how about rasid rice tonight
130 crazy she was she right was she absolutely crazy or not like yeah I mean this is the Dolphins issue you have an impressive regular season this is Mike McDaniel’s problem impressive regular season but you you don’t have a quarterback that’s your not really even impressive regular season like they would play
Anybody relatively good and they would lose that was their problem this Tu is Tu is a younger Jimmy G that’s exactly what he is he is a younger Jimmy G not gonna Elevate you right he might not screw this thing up and that’s fine but you can’t win a championship like that
Like you just you just can’t people can point to some of these guys your Trent your Trent dord these guys who years ago were able to do that but now nah like you need a guy to win you need a guy or yeah outside of Nick FES right Nick I
Mean the Nick Foles magical run you need a guy like to win the Super Bowl you need a quarterback you need a great quarterback yeah I agree with all that as well uh I did want to ask you guys real quick before we got out of here um
Did you see the um the Bulls inducted Jerry Krauss into their uh Ring of Honor or you know their the Hall of Fame did you guys see that I saw the so the Bulls fans booed Jerry Krauss and of course his wife was there Jerry Krauss been dead five years so his widow
Wife is there sitting there as it’s not funny but it is but she’s sitting there that’s there like Bering her with the booze so foul and yeah it was so foul but but I’ll say this man again the guy responsible for is Michael Jordan because again you saw the the fans are
Doing this because again if you watch the Last Dance the Bulls Michael Jordan all the xers they just trash jry name he’s dead he can’t even speak for himself so they’re going on what happened on the Last Dance for him being the you know he takes the the the blame
For breaking that team up and again I I again so I give half the blame to the fans for booing it wasn’t right they shouldn’t have done it and I give the other half of the blame to the Bulls organization because they should have known that was going to happen and you
Set that poor lady up uh to get booed her husband’s name it was just it it was rough it was rough he but he gave them six here’s what’s Wild right I get that he broke it up he put the team together they got six championships yo the man is
Dead for them to have that energy towards the wife hey that’s a next that’s a that’s just some Next Level petty stuff and Chicago Bulls fans should be ashamed of themselves they should be ashamed of themselves because they said you know what we got all this
Vitory all for Jerry Krauss we mad we mad he ain’t here so the Widow gonna have to catch these hands and that was foul that was messed up you don’t do that you don’t you don’t know you don’t do that right that was trash Oh My Gosh and you know
What this this that franchise will be cursed forever because they’re never getting back to a championship they will always be mediocre at best and now I think they gonna have to blow this thing up they gotta blow they can’t even find a trading partner for uh LaVine right
And if LaVine goes dears won’t goo’s out everybody’s leaving man vvi might bounce then somebody might trade for him yeah I can’t stand it quick side know y’all see uh what’s my man kayin the the uh the Washington coach took the took Nick Sav job at Alabama yes yeah y I didn’t
Really necessarily see anything from the boor to be like yeah let’s just go throw them in as a saving replacement they’re tripping they’re 100% tripping who who you got Prime well no so I wouldn’t have got Prime I think here’s the here’s the problem to replace somebody like Sabin
You have to hire someone that’s won a national championship right there’s only a short list of college guys that you could have gone to I would thrown a bag at my goodness that see urban urban Meer is one of them right I call Kirby Smart and
Be like how much money you want to lead Georgia right IA call like you you you had to call someone there’s only a short list of guys make sense to hire within too like if they were to grab sarkeesian they would have just him not even him maybe Dabo swinny right which
He’s been trash lately Alabama fans were were were literally chanting they didn’t want D got fired but Trey listen to me here’s my and he don’t like nil either so another guy you talk about nil that can’t recruit and he’s having problem nil he don’t like it either and I told
Right but again I’m with Chris here you really you really Corner Urban Meyer on this thing before you have to open up the search beyond that because you need someone one if it were me I want an SEC guy I need somebody needs knows I navigate SEC territory I 100% need
Somebody who can come in here and get this thing done play at this high level this guy the the guy from Washington has been a winner everywhere I mean he has been absolutely remarkable and having said that I think he is woful underprepared for what he’s about to go
Through at Alabama because here’s the problem this Alabama fan base they’re not used to losing two games in a year it’s an anomaly when they won when they lost two games in the same year you got Texas and Oklahoma coming they about to man that c if this if this
Dude his first SEC game against is against Georgia right you realize if he loses that game he has to run the table for the rest of the year before they start before they before folks get the pitch for they trying to chase that man out like seriously he he loses two games
In his first year it’s a problem I just don’t think I I no I I I don’t I don’t like this hire for that reason I’m not saying he’s not skilled enough to do it I’m just saying I do not think this is a fit and I feel like they forced this one
Yeah I agree yeah we’ll see what happens I I don’t disagree with you that yeah it’s you know it’s it’s kind of an impossible job impossible shoes to feel after guy like Nick sa so yeah you lose a couple games they will be at your head um appreciate everybody watching
Listening tonight Bucks winning 12918 uh give it to you guys final word uh as the Bucks get an 11-point win and win their second consecutive basketball game over the Golden State Warriors hey like I said before I think the Bucs were in a slump and I think they I think
They’re they’re breaking their way through the slump at this point seeing a lot of good things uh we know moves have to be made let’s hope the bench comes back but guys let’s take it two two in a row let’s get it two in a two in a row
Versus you know a a very good Boston team and you know a not so hot Warriors team but has always traditionally been competitive and yeah hey taking these wins let’s stack them up there with the rest shout out big three shout out uh Giannis Chris and D more specifically
Chris though uh just played played really well 10 for 13 and you know that efficient scoring will take every single day and I I think Chris is hopefully he’s starting to hit a stride and those those three are messed when the bench is playing like this so yeah yeah no
Absolutely um shout out to the big three um Bucks win it tonight uh 12918 we’ll do a little well you know maybe we come back some Mar Luther King facts uh tomorrow as the Bucks play their version of Martin Luther King uh holiday weekend game uh against the
Sacramento Kings that’s a 6 o’clock um Central start 7 o’clock Eastern um again Sacramento very very good basketball team 23 and 15 going to have to come out and beat them um Scrappy hungry they they play hard um so this would be a great way to cap off this road trip I
Actually want some money because I was betting people that you know that once the once the Bucks lost to Utah I had somebody bet me and say oh the Bucks aren’t gonna win they gonna lose they’re gonna lose out for this home stand I say easiest easiest 50 bucks I made uh
Betting and of course they beat the Boston Celtics so they’ve won two of three in his home stand see if they can finish it out with the win over the Sacramento Kings um again this we want to thank uh everybody for watching thank you for listening watching uh like

Love listening to you guys are very amazing
I said Marjon didnt look happy and he was not celebrating.
Im 56 yrs old driving a 40 ft bus for at least 14 to 15 hours a day with rotator cuff issues and aching back and knees. I will never come close to what these players in a year in my lifetime of working. Stop the damn whining about back to back games😡😡😡😡
Yeah, myself and a couple of guys from madison came up to catch curry and giannis, unfortunately no curry last night, smh. Luckily we didnt come from too far, it would have been nice to see curry though.
