NBA Gametime | Giannis and Dame are the best duo right now – Shaq on Bucks 124-117 win over Clippers
And he changed that narrative in one year can gobear and Cat coexist I think they’ve shown that this year yeah absolutely hopefully Carl Anthony towns comes back healthy from that uh knee injury and they said it’ll be re-evaluated in a month right so there’s some time there where it’s a week before
The end of the regular season see if he’s able to to ramp up get back on the floor for the postseason Milwaukee Bucks Los Angeles Clippers Milwaukee Bucks win 124 117 snaps a two game losing streak let’s hear from Damen L we’ve been saying all year you know it’s it’s going
To take time for me and jiannis to just kind of develop playing off each other and I think we just getting better and better at playing off each other um you know I’m having a much better understanding of how to use him against the defense to find my space uh it’s not
Always perfect but um you know I think that was the the best that we’ve used it you know for me to get opportunities him to get opportunities uh and just to put the defense at our Mercy um and I was able to get into a flow see the ball go
In and and um you know that’s how we going to have to to close out games now obviously coming off a tough loss last time you guys were in this building just how crucial was this win and how much of it was of a team win it was extremely
Crucial you know I think um we was playing our best basketball the year for six games obviously we have a uh we lay a egg in in Golden State against a team that’s coming off a bad loss and they had a couple days off then you come against a short-handed team in the
Lakers and it’s you know you let them get going early and you get yourself in the dog fight on the road against the team with talent and you know we took a took a l in that one and tonight you got a early game against a short-handed team
With a with a lot of talent as well and I think it just came down to you know our discipline and US leaning on the fact that we got a lot of vets um you can’t expect the team to just come out here and lay down you know it’s the NBA
Guys have a lot of ability um and sometimes those the hardest ones to win because they know that you know they short handed so they’re a little bit sharper a little more unpredictable and I thought we just weathered a lot of storms throughout the game and um you
Know when it came time to close it get some stops and and execute we did that 3D only one duo in the NBA this season have had 25 points and 10 or more assists in the same game Dame and Giannis have done it in back-to-back games but let’s focus on Damen Lillard
Right because Giannis has been playing this way all season would that I really don’t know how you defend that because that’s easy a fake now Giannis is coming back downhill again going to the basket so it’s hard to pick your poison especially when both guys are being a
Rive yes 7-2 since the All-Star break we saw the numbers from when Doc Rivers took over and now they’re hovering around 500 since he’s been at the helm but since the All-Star break it seems as if this team overall is finding their identity how much did they need this win
After losing two in a row well you your your identity is who you are and I think sometimes we get caught up in what they did as being Champions we get that Drew holiday special he’s doing special things over now in Boston now Dame is being who Dame is now Doc
Rivers is going to each guy you understand what your role is so they’re playing lights out basketball since the break yeah uh like we said we have live action thing you never want to see alperin shenon rising star in this league absolutely stealing the draft a
Few years ago for the Houston Rockets uh going down there 3D and you’re familiar with that fall that kind of injury yeah it’s it’s the uh it’s probably the number one ankle knee injury in a live game because guys are going to block shots you’re going for the rebound you’re coming down
Somebody’s foot you come down somebody’s leg whatever it may be you get tangled up that is the uh one thing that scares you the most I’m glad we weren’t live to see us both scream because it’s we’re watching the game you just feel for a guy especially shingun like you said for
Some of the Casual fans who may not know who he is this young man is is as sending in the right Direction the big game he had the other night against wiim Bea the 45 points and just playing lights out basketball just you just hurt for the young man cuz he’s playing so
Well this year yeah absolutely just a scary moment for the Houston Rockets um against the Sacramento Kings we w we wish the best for Al Rin shingon in that situation so the Washington Wizards in the Orlando uh the Washington Wizards in the Miami oh did I say crunchy it didn’t
I say crunchy 80 run by the heat after an 18 to seven run from the Washington was on that last shot attempt by Jimmy Butler he had the two went back for the three you know as a profession shooting Rhythm when when when Duncan took the
Shot I felt good for me cuz he stepped into it maybe I’m jealous cuz my hair won’t grow anymore but I’m not wearing my hair like that even if my hair would grow I’m not wearing that n no you’re originally from the DMV area so congrats to the Wizards backto back wins very
Rare this season very rare season and also too because they’re trying to find out who they are now and and kman you know made a couple bone hit plays down the stretch but you get a good stop you get the rebound and big picture I think that front office is trying to figure
Out what guys they want to keep for the rest of the season obviously and then for the future and looking at the Wizards and their production in this game Denny AI a double double 16- 10 balow kabali played 36 minutes 11 points and Cory kissper 22 points made 5 threes
Those are the three guys they drafted that they’re getting to see play 35 or more minutes in a game like this I like a lot of the pieces as we like to say in our league but they don’t have that one guy where you say that’s who I’m going
To build around so when you look around a lot of our you know young teams at the top of their the conferences they have one or two guys you say these are the cornerstones that we’re building around I think that’s what the wizard are trying to figure out which one of these
Two guys we say we can put pieces around and continue to get better cuz right now we know they’re not Hing the right direction we win and smacked him up right so that’s what the Eastern Conference is looking at it’s different in the west right so that’s that’s when they said the Rockets
Are wait a minute the Rockets wait oh wait minut you’re not going to just get away with that what did the Knicks do to the Cavs last year that that’s why people are hesitant to jump on the C bandwagon I’m loving donalan Mitchell but people are stuck on
What afro power and didn’t do last year in the playoffs how random those guys winning there in manham they didn’t they well yes I I get all those points you make and I’m going to focus on this game for something very important for Indiana right because we talked about their
Offense All Season how they don’t play defense at a high level and I see them hold the magic to 97 points and I look at Paulo B Carol with 19 six for 20 from the field fron Vagner 13 5 for 14 from the field the winning formula for
Orlando those two guys or one of those guys scoring 20 or more both of them held under 20 here got to give credit to the Pacers defense for one well especially for the Pacers to your point that that’s not something they’ve been living on all season long so for Orlando
Those two young guys have shown us that they can go out and get double doubles and you can run obviously the offense through them but this is one of those nights where the Patriot come into your B come into your business building handle their business I’m trying to get
Out there for you Chris so big pitcher it still comes down to shooting cuz those two guys get double team they’re willing to share the ball but the Orlando Magic is not knocking down three-point shots that defense still going to be tight in the lane of these
Two teams right you get to the postseason who do you believe in more having the opportunity to advance the Pacers or the magic believe it or not believe in my magic because of my two cornerstones now of course I love the shooting but I love Suggs I love his
Toughness I think coach mosy done an excellent job in the chemistry so I’m going to go with my magic right now yeah I shouldn’t have asked you that I mean Orlando Magic Hall of Famer and I go oh the Pacers with the magic who’s going to advance of course you’re going to say
The Orlando Magic all right this show moving right along Minnesota Timberwolves Los Angeles Lakers what he say humility Del loading Baby D Lo said humility 44 points you talking bad about it 93 tip Off foree so fore spee for foree fore foree foreign spee fore speee Foree speech fore speech foree fore spee speech spee speech foreign spee speech foree spee foreign speech Spe speech foreign speech foreign spee spee for Fore speee Foree foreign spee foree Speee For foree fore Spe foree speech foreign spee for speech foreign spee Speee fore Foree fore speee spee spee foree speee spee him okaye speeech for Foree foreign spee fore for
