“Dubs ON FIRE!” – Tim Legler reacts Golden State Warriors beat Milwaukee Bucks 125-90; Curry: 29 Pts

Welcome this is sports center from the nation’s capital I’m Scott vanel coming up West Coast action with Marquee teams fighting for playoff spots Warriors hosting the Bucks Lakers taking on the kings in the college game best conference in the land gave us a pair of great games a big 12 Champions been

Crowned as we tick forward towards free agency of perennial NFL playoff team making some wholesale changes to the roster all with an eye on the budget but we begin as we do every night best thing I saw today hle field all right so the Warriors got beat by 52

On Sunday and the Bucks have won a league best at the moment six consecutive games so you know how the league goes Steph Curry greatest shooter in the history of the game in his bag from the jump Steph buries another Steph you’re going to let him pull from there he’s backing up

Already and swinging a drive he scored 10 straight Golden State had 40 in the first quarter more than they had in the entire first half when they got debacle Sunday in Boston leading by 10 clay from three clay with the bounce and the dunk But Here Come the bucks no the

Defense on the challenge of Bobby poris kaminga green kaminga and the Warriors building a 20-point lead step again all three of these a 20-point lead the largest halftime lead of the Season as we know nursing leads to the Finish Line has not exactly been a strength for this team this season

What a block from the rookie Trace Jackson Davis on Giannis then it’s tjd again reward the big man reward the big man he started it all Steph on the the drive and the Warriors after the Bucks had closed the Gap back to 11 another block and then on the other end again

Reward the big man I watched him play a ton at Indiana I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t more coveted by the league he can do a lot of things and you’re seeing all of it Brandon psky misses guess who the putback as the Warriors lead is

19 don’t let Draymond get hot Steve he bued backto back threes he does shoot a ton of them but does hit at a pretty high clip then Curry again he starts walking away knew what was going on lost by 52 W by 35 George Sedano with curry after the big time

Response Steph you guys had a successful road trip but that last game we talked to Clay about it earlier certainly have to leave a bad taste in your mouth what is it like to get a win like this and and I’m not ask you about statement games or

Anything like that but basically like what does your recent play say about you guys and what you can build on here unfortunately the nature of the NBA like you can get a hit with a buz out like we did in Boston and there’s a temptation

To you know forget the the body of work that we’ve had over you know last two months month and a half um and the identity that we’ve been trying to create and for us to respond the way we did coming home was big uh you know we have 21 games left

And every game matters so for us to be able to turn the page and you know play with conviction and confidence after getting beat down like that it’s it shows you know what we’re trying to build and who we are as you might guess a me a measured reasonable response from Curry

Some context here Golden State obliterated three days ago they’ won each of the last five games following a losses now now been over 5 weeks since they’ve had a losing streak of any kind one of the keys for this team and early on there was like when are we going to

Play this guy to the finish of games Jonathan kaminga his great play continues four 20-point games in the last five up to 17 20po games on the season more than he had in his first two years in the leg combined on the losing end Milwaukee for the first time since

The break drops a game it had been a six-game winning streak entering the defense better in the second half but you give up 78 the first it’s bound to be better and the most they had given up in the first half under doc Road does not get easier for the bucks they

Continue the West Coast trip Friday against the Lakers a game you’ll enjoy on ESPN after that five more against teams in the west with winning or uh five more games with teams against winning records and they got a trip to Boston and they have the best record in

The NBA Tim legler is here you told me on Sunday when you sat in this very spot exactly what Steve kerran and Golden State said after they got smoked you flush it and you move on there’s clearly no residual I think that’s a professional response not to let it

Linger but to beat this team who had been playing this way and I speak of Milwaukee what what is cooked into this really the first 24 minutes of this game where they they showed you a great response I think Steph Curry’s response said a lot because he’s basically saying

Like no overreaction here in an 82 Game season you just can’t but I think what you saw tonight was number one everybody at their disposal but they’ve had a hard time doing that you get psky back Chris Paul is back on the court they got Gary

P the second back not too long ago so you have the Golden State Warriors reacting after that a couple days off you come out and this is as good as they can play offensively and it reminds you what they can be on a given night if you

Allow them to get into a rhythm early in the game and you’re not physical with them and certainly that describes Milwaukee at the beginning of this game so Golden State came out moved it 37 assists tonight they scored 125 points without with only taking seven free

Throws in the game that’s how clean they were offensively 19 made threes almost 50% from out there this is what Golden State can look like still and that’s why there’s still a threat look Scott there are six teams in the Western Conference separated by three games in the Lost

Colum now they’re at the bottom of that list of six teams but they’re looking at those teams some of those teams right now are in freef Fall some are still trying to figure out who they are and Golden State says look we’ve been playing pretty well here for a pretty

Good stretch and now we’ve got everybody back back I think this is an indication of like more nights like this coming for them that’s what they believe all right let’s close the book on Golden State with this fact they’re the first team in the history of the league with a

30-point victory following a 50 point loss not a lot of either necessarily and just as it would have been a mistake to take the loss Sunday and and say that’s who golden state is it’ be the same mistake to apply this 35o loss to Milwaukee and say this is some

Indictment of who they are but as you look at them and we’re still getting the Doc Rivers s sort of feeling together of what they’re going to look like long term what what are the Bucks in your estimation I think sometimes we take winning streaks and we take them out of

Context right you say okay they figured it all out now they turned it around I’ve been watching every one of those games and they’re definitely playing harder okay it seems like Doc changes rotation a little bit schematically not a lot different because there’s only so many ways to play ball screen in this

League right Doc Rivers can make guys maybe a little bit more accountable some of the things he can say to people but look they they beat four mediocre teams that held them all under 100 points that’s a great sign even even against bad bad teams in this league you hold

Somebody on 100 it’s a good sign what you saw tonight was them at their worst when we were questioning them before when they don’t come out in a state of Readiness and they’re sort of soft and lethargic defensively and this is what they look like and they give up almost

80 points in the first half to a team that has been wildly inconsistent offensively that was just about as much mil about Milwaukee tonight at the start of the game as it was Golden State so it tells you they have haven’t got it all figured out yet because this is not the

Same defensive team collectively that they were when they won a championship that’s what Doc is trying to inch his way toward thought they had it figured out that wasn’t the case tonight clearly we figured out one thing it’s time to talk about the Orlando Magic and we are

Going to in a minute with Tim thank you you got it pivot to the best league in America that’s not the NBA we’re talking about the big Foree I’m go of the CH It speech speech speech forign spee spe foreign fore fore Fore Spee foreign Speee Fore for spee For Speee Fore spee foree Spee speech foree spe come
