Lakers beat Bucks in double OT w/o LeBron: Anthony Davis best Giannis in classic | NBA | UNDISPUTED

What in the name of Magic Johnson happened last night in Milwaukee well one Anthony Davis looked like the best player on the planet he did I mean Austin Reeves I mean look like Austin Larry Bird Reeves once again like he did in Boston yeah and then DLo looks like

An Allstar again uh why is this a coincidence that these guys play like this with all I mean I just think they play Freer though they don’t play with any pressure and you look at it and you say hey all right you add LeBron to this mix

After what we saw last night that this team is a contender yep maybe so maybe not but the reality of it is they’re not going to play like this when LeBron is out there the ball distribution doesn’t move like this so that that makes you wonder does and that’s what I said last

Week I think they’re a better team if LeBron pulls back a little okay but you’re not saying they’re a better team without LeBron no no I’m not saying they’re a better team without LeBron not at all they can’t win a champ Ship Without LeBron but they can win games

Like this on any given day but it just goes to show you what type of T is on the Lakers because they don’t need another Superstar they don’t need another player they have every all the ingredients is here I just think it’s all on LeBron when you look at this team

They be Boston and Boston Milwaukee and Milwaukee do we not consider these two teams contenders two of the top five teams in the league yeah when you see Giannis get 29 21 and 11 in not be the best player on the court what does that

Say yeah it says ad needs to to be the man for the Lakers to go far and I think a lot of that has to do with LeBron pulling back and allowing these guys to to free up and maybe the Lakers can become a contender but I’m optimistic

Now after I see a game like that optimistic than you have been I’m more optimistic than I have been when I see games like this okay does LeBron sit over there on the bench last night and compute this is and he’s got the highest IQ basketball is he watching this do you

Think it’s hitting home to him maybe there’s a better way to do this maybe I do need to pull back and I don’t know orchestrate a little bit more distribute a little more lower usage rate whatever do you think he thinks about that while he’s watching this unfold I think he has

To be thinking about that I mean he I think you can move LeBron off the ball a little more let’s put him in the post maybe sometimes spot up in the corner and allow D’Angelo and re the playmaker as we saw last night they can make plays

Obviously they I mean D’Angelo showed he can pass reev so showed he could be a playmaker and you can play a three-man triangle with these guys and that gives LeBron a little more rest throughout the course of the game when he’s playing 35 Plus minutes he doesn’t have to do

Everything for his team to win by the way DLo had 12 assists and Austin ree had a triple double with 10 assists so they they can pass the basketball they’re not LeBron but they can pass the baset not going to happen though not going to happen not going to it’s DNA

Late I agree see it’s it’s in the DNA year 21 you get out there Skip it’s it’s it’s your body it’s a clock is telling you understand can’t do it but it was an amazing win I mean when you look at it they’ve they’ve swept the the the Bucks

This year without LeBron okay they gone on the road they beat him we saw what they did at home against them they took care of the Celtics like you said in ad as I said before everything’s going to go through him I understand we we tend to push it all toward LeBron because

It’s LeBron but the Lakers not and not even offensively defensively with Anthony Davis even though Giannis was able to get his buckets it’s just his Rim protection dude had 16 defensive rebounds so that tells me right there there’s no second shot opportunities for milwauke in these situations when you

Got 23 rebounds and 16 of them was on the defensive end that’s what you’re doing you okay you got a couple steals you have four blocks four blocks and then that play at the end of regulation yeah against Lillard first overtime yeah first overtime he made a great defensive

Play because he kind of stayed in between he didn’t leave Giannis too early left him at the right time because if he’ had slid out true underneath uh Dame all Dame was going to do was lob it up to jiannis game over set match yep so they have the recipe for Success can

They move their eyes in the sight up meaning can they look at the six seed it get there can they get there because this road trip they can win the next five games and come out of this thing undefeated and back at home against Cleveland yeah I saw him four and two on

This roow but once they won this game they can possibly win they can go they can go undefeated on this trip now you go undefeated on this trip and in these six games that they playing you know Phoenix is going to drop something they okay the kings are going to drop

Something they are so you you know what you have to do can they do it though can they seize the moment or are we going to tonight yeah starting tonight okay scratch our head tomorrow morning and say man what the are we going to do that against the Griz exactly exactly all

Right before I Rave about the Lakers allow me to put this game in the biggest perspective which is Damen Lillard perspective I’m not the biggest Dame fan I know it’s Dame time it it was more damn time last night for Bucks fans because that was just horrendous the

Reason this happened the number one biggest reason this happened was that Damen Lillard shot nine of 29 and he shot three of 14 from three if he doesn’t do that this was obviously the Bucks game to lose they they had him twice by 19 they had him early and late

By 19 and if Dame does what he has often done that we’re not we’re not even remotely having this conversation because it was real close with eight minutes left in the game to Darin ham saying okay that’s enough of this I’m yanking my starters let’s just wait for

Memphis tomorrow night as you thought would probably happen and it looked like that was going to happen in the first quarter because they go up 19 and Dame did make a couple of shots and then here we went and if we get down to the 9

Minute Mark of the game Dame made a pullup 16-footer that gave them a 19-point lead Lakers miss a three and I think we have this shot but we we come right back down and Dame’s got a three and if he hits this they go up 22 with 8

Minutes left I don’t think they’re I don’t know just psychologically once you get over the 20 Mark with eight minutes left this is the the Dame shot he comes up and pulls up yeah he h that then you can pull your starters for the Lakers

Yeah that would be the this is it right here and it was a pretty good close out and it was close Okay so and then here they come and the Lakers end up going on a 26-7 run to close it out and Anthony Davis makes two threes over that run

Which I didn’t see that coming and I don’t think anybody saw that coming but the point is Damen L this is just me the big picture on Damien I know this is the the trade of the year and this is Make It or Break It and they went and got

Docked I just I I don’t know I’m not I’ve never been sold I know you got some issues here and there with different people but I’ve never been sold on Damen as that guy I I’m just not sure so we’re about to find out because they’ve had

Their moments and it looked like they were starting to catch fire with Doc and now this was a bad sign because that’s on Dame and it’s it’s in part on Giannis because in the second half neither Dame or Giannis did very much and if you can hold both of those guys they almost

Played 50 minutes a piece and if you can hold both of them to under 30 points over 50 minutes you have a chance to win at Milwaukee and they the the Lakers played some defense and listen Austin Reeves Austin Larry Reeves yeah but listen on the defensive end he took Dame

A lot and he did a pretty good job of just bothering him just just just nagging him just irritating just just hanging with him and I wanted to show a play that I thought set a tone for the game it was a couple of minutes left in

The the first half if we have the block this is Austin Reeves on Dame Austin Reeves on Dame and that’s pretty good defense and I think it sent a message to Dame like like this kid ain’t just going to go away I can’t just abuse him all

Night long and he he bothered a lot of Dame shots all the way through so he will what whatever he’s got in him he will give it to you and Austin Reeves can also close for this team and and he listen over the two overtimes he was the

The high scorer for the Lakers by far he scored nine points in the two overtimes so he made a bunch of big shots and then I got to credit the Lakers because would you believe believe that in the second half in the two overtimes they made all

21 of their free throws and they needed every last one of them but Paul to if you go 21 to 21 it just they’re called free throws for a reason so it gives you a chance to hang with a team that clearly was Superior to you last night well Lakers

Always going to have a chance they shoot the most free throws in by far by far by far it’s not even close I mean so you got to factor that in it’s just the ball distribution with this team yeah but like hean say can they play this way

With LeBron that’s the key because when you look at it you just beat Milwaukee and you’re like they gotta be a championship cont oh you throw LeBron with this team that just oh they just beat Milwaukee where where Anthony Davis goes for 34 and 23 and and Austin Reeves

Looks like Larry Bird and Magic put together you add LeBron to that this team can win it but then you look up and they’re they’re 10th seed ninth seed y it’s not the map is not mathing no you know so can they play this way and can

LeBron from the sideline when he see these games look and say all right this is what we have to do this is what I have to do no for us to win it’s it’s in his DNA naturally it’s just that I know you want Austin Rees to be the closer

Not going to happen with LeBron on the floor he may get an opportunity if some if you know if it’s the right play the right pass for LeBron but it’s just it’s LeBron man they they not going to it’s just one of those deals where that switch whatever it is scared nervous

Don’t want to show him up because I’m smaller than him whatever that is yeah that kicks in skip with LeBron James on the floor the reason the Lakers and Anthony Davis was able to play the way he did last night too another note he was out of foul trouble yeah he one foul

He has to be the guy you he has to be the lead guy if they’re going to win another title he has to be I truly believe he has to be the lead guy yes that’s true but they shrink for whatever reason yeah when LeBron comes on the floor whatever that

Is whatever it is as I said to you long time ago when Max Christie came in the game this was the regular season months ago he came in the game Paul he crossed half court he could have he could have drove to the he could he said here you

Take it I was like but that’s what LeBron creates yeah he he he he adds tension inion not intentionally it is he has tension to his teammates definitely I mean he’s not the I’ve heard teammates say it’s tough to adjust to LeBron to play with him you

Know it was tough for Wade and BOS to play with them it was tough for Kevin Love and these guys but at the end of you’re not goingon to win with him I’m not saying that you’re not going to win a championship without him I mean yeah

Without without him you’re not going to win the championship without him but there’s an adjustment period I think at this age that he can make to make this team a lot better okay but on Anthony Davis I agree with you you saw like a nuclear warship last night you you saw a

Guy who’s as dominant as any player in the league but every other day we come in here and say where was he last night and then every third day we seem to come in here and say well he got banged up again he’s always banged up well he got

Banged up last night he actually banged knees last night and they were treating his KNE the through the whole fourth quarter and guess what more and more I see him sucking it up and saying I’ll just play through it and he played a bunch that’s his career high 50 minutes

Right okay so he kesan were you impressed we we’ve been down on him you you’ve been critical of him we’ve all been critical of him Lil Wayne wanted him traded early in the season and it seemed to light a fire under ad but he’s but he’s played if you look at the

Course of the Season without LeBron on the Flor he’s played like this yeah it’s not it’s not that he can’t do it it’s not that you down on him you want more of him that’s you expect more of him when you and and and guys that are paid

High salaries okay can’t count anybody else’s money but the reason you paid that type of money is because you are the alpha you’re the dog you you’re the you’re the guy in every sport the reason they pay Paul Pierce what they paid him CU he can knock down shots Y and the

Reason that they pay ad what they pay him and extended him is because they believe in him so when all of a sudden you look up and he gets init the nose and he’s got to go out or he bangs knees and he goes out or he falls to the floor

And he miss you know that that’s when people criticizes him yeah but he has the ability to be one of the top five players in the NBA by far night in and night out if Yiannis can do it and the Joker can do how come he can’t do it and then be can

Do it when he’s healthy why can’t he do it I saw a player that could be the best player in the league yeah well I mean because what he did offensively but what he can do defensively he he can change the game on both ends he rebounded at a

High level he can rebound like Janis jannis had 20 plus rebounds too he the only thing that’s missing from his game is maybe his passing yeah but everything else is there and like I said when you see a guy get 29 21 and 11 Janis mhm and

Wasn’t the best player on the court that’s unheard of all right let’s look at the first big controversial play cuz it happened with 14 seconds left in regulation and DLo drives it to his left he’s left-handed obviously and goes up and it it sure looked like he got fouled

Here and they call nothing they call nothing and then the Bucks Challenge and win the challenge about the ball going out of bounds and they get the basketball so there’s no foul called and they get the basketball I mean you could have it was a Ticky tack cuz he went

Straight up I don’t at it like at the end I think he came down with the hand I think he gets him with both hands he came down with the hand at the end he came down with the hand I mean at the end it’s hard to make a call like that

Though you got to leave it in in Milwaukee in Milwaukee you can’t they refs wouldn’t get out of there alive well I couldn’t help thinking about what Chris Paul called Tony Brothers The Tick tocker ton call the game right he the guy yeah he was the guy was tick talking

Last night I don’t know and then at the end of the game this is regulation Giannis got an alleyoop that I thought he was just going to lay it in and it looked like he didn’t quite come up with the handle on the basketball this is the

Last play of Regulation and I thought the game’s over when he got a hold of the ball and he just couldn’t hang on why why does that happen Paul like I just thought I I thought he going to dunk was going to dunk it too when I saw it I

Initially thought maybe he got fouled trying to get cute I thought he got initially fast try to get cute but you look no but if you look Anthony Davis Kind of nudges him right there on the body yeah on the right so that could have been a foul right there look at him

Right there nudy that’s the reason he falls but still jiannis is such a great on it like I just thought in the air when the alleyoop was in the air I just thought he was going to dunk thought he was in the layup line or something

Pregame no I mean he got nudge right there so I mean easily could have been called a foul but Giannis you know he got good hands he supposed to go up and dunk that yeah I I don’t know he just he didn’t have much of a night especially

At a terrible second half yeah all right then let’s go to kean’s favorite moment it’s the end of the first uh overtime let’s see the block where ad block Dame Dame started to hesitate because he wasn’t making his three ball so then he drives it to his left and I thought this

Was pretty much a bad idea by he stayed until the last second and then he got it and he said for a moment he thought it was going to be called to goal end but I did not I he I he got it on the way up see games like this gives me

Confidence that the Celtics can get to the finals if they see the Bucks in the Conference Finals yeah okay come on come on now they give up no Contender skip key no real Contender gives up a 19o lead on their home court it just doesn’t happen well that was ATA one of the

Greatest team no not y’all meaning the Celtics this year yeah they did they just gave up a 30-point lead at Atlanta right what on the road on the road also they also lost at home we was bored we te bored we beat b in we beat teams by

20 every night you bored in November we beat see who who who we lose to in November up 19th no I’m saying at home y’all lost to the Laker team now I don’t know so so Paul that last shot by Dame can’t you get a better shot than that

Cuz it’s just like a bad idea a running left handed hook I’m shock Dame didn’t go to a step back what he does that’s a shot he didn’t have his he didn’t have his stroke in his rhythm last night so he just said I guess I got to drive this

And shoot a left-handed running hook I I thought it had no shot at all no all right so then let’s go to the shot of the night the closer Kean says he can’t be the closer but the Austin Austin Reeves team let close 38 seconds left in the

Game in the second overtime and he just said give me the ball and I got this give me the ball and I if you’re going to give me this shot and it was deep it was 29 fet and he rips it and that’s the first time they had the Le the

Three-point lead right there and then they were able just to free even even Milwaukee is like he with us look them they ain’t even running out there they just they just standing there me he already got 26 he already got 20 they not even trying to defend him but no

Skip he look he can shoot the ball well he’s done he’s he’s gotten better each time you look at him but it’s LeBron’s team y LeBron ain’t getting ready to let close they just it’s not in his DNA all right then the next play is Giannis gets

Fouled and Giannis goes to the line you can see LeBron on Sidelines just like oh he’s not going to make it he’s not going to make it and what did Giannis do he was one of four from the free throw line at this point and he winds up the game

One of six with with Clank a little short back to the original Giannis and he with us back iron he with us he all right oh no Giannis one of six from the free throw line well there it is that’s his Ailes heel or feel and

Here came the Lakers and I’ll just show you the GL I love them from the free throw line last night here are the last four free throws because they needed D and AD to hit these free throws you just got to make them and these are as clutch as you

Get boom and then ad goes these are big time because uh Beasley had hit a big three that suddenly gave them a little bit of life and AD to his credit makes both of those he’s missed some of those in his career see now I’m saying like

When you see this when I continue to see this like what do you do the Lakers need what do the Lakers need they’ll get vandyville back probably and and that would help and one thing about Jared Vanderbilt he doesn’t have to be an offensive rotational Guy where you don’t

Have to really find him on the offense all he needs to do is come in and play defense so it’ll it’ll help their defense a little bit if he can get 15 minutes on defense all right so you saw Championship pieces all over the place they have they have everything they need

Hey ruy can play too they have everything they big he plays strong they have all the ingredients but if if what you’re saying Paul is true that LeBron needs to pull back some of the stuff a little bit we ain’t going to be a championship team because that’s not going to happen

Well there you have it then it’s not going to happen that it’s just not it’s already embedded in his DNA okay so are are you already blaming LeBron for for what’s going to happen you’re saying they just can’t they’re going nowhere with LeBron I’m not going to blame

LeBron nor am I going to say they not going to word LeBron cuz we both know that’s a lie okay what my what I’m saying is Paul’s recipe yeah is for to be successful get to Denver and get to Boston since Boston’s coming out of the East and most likely Denver and the

Lakers could play each other it’s going to be hard if you expect LeBron to just give up what he’s done say say his DNA will get in the way absolutely absolutely that’s everybody all great players at the end of the day they not deferring to certain people in certain

Times and situations okay Michael Jordan shot the ball and pushed B he wasn’t giving it to no damn Scotty Pippen how did PT Manning win his last Super Bowl well that was a def he couldn’t he was a shell of himself okay but he yeah but LeBron ain’t a shell of

Himself though that’s the difference all right okay up next key and I got to talk about this radical new NFL kickoff exciting or embarrassing Next thanks for watching Undisputed fans do you want want more highlights from the show make sure to click that subscribe button for all the exclusive content from Undisputed
