ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins reacts to Philadelphia 76ers beat Miami Heat 98-91; Tyrese Maxey 30 Pts
Alongside Chan AUM Kendrick Perkins Richard Jefferson I’m Malika Andrew it’s been a pretty even battle thus far but the Philadelphia 76ers up 5149 at the half we came into this one talking about with no Tyler hero with no Jimmy Butler bat bio would really be the one who
Would need to continue to step up for the Miami Heat he’s really done just that tonight yeah he is their All-Star and he’s done it on both ends when bam is on the floor they have the second best defense in the NBA but I also love how he has Diversified his offense
Everyone wants to talk about the gamewinner but this shot right there the free throw line has become automatic the more comfortable he is taking those shots attacking look at the pivot right there I mean he’s on Pace for a triple double you can’t take that for granted I
Don’t like the six for six I don’t like it I want more shots from him I wanted him to be more aggressive that’s great that efficiency and it is tough for a player that is typically used to being very efficient to go to a volume player
But they need him he needs to have 10 12 shots in here the six for six is beautiful I bam you’re balling but I’m just saying for you and what your team needs he needs 12 shots got to play through him he’s got to increase his volume and sometimes that’s more mental
Than his physical he’s taking good shots six for six doing all the things but you need to be volume and efficient you know you don’t have who you don’t have to tell that to who Tyrese Maxi amen and he’s balling right now 18 points at the
Half but I’m looking at Kelly UB too as well he’s had his moments for the 76 of this season but when it comes down to Tyrese Maxi right I understand like you want to play an audition for Joey will and be to come back which I’m totally
Against but he’s also addition for he’s also addition in for his contract he’s also addition for all NBA and I do have a vote right now he’s on my list Tyrese Maxi also has five assists four rebounds to go with those 18 points Rich no I I
Love tyres Maxi I like his game but again we talked about volume he’s doing what his team needs and the thing that I like about the the the bench like everybody is plus except for KJ Martin so it’s really been if you talk about positive is Tyreek Maxi and then the
Bench that’s been the the key because the rest of the starters are struggling so Tyrese is carrying them but he’s doing with the bench and to go back to your point on bam we all want him to be more aggressive because that will probably unlock another level of his
Game but that man is committed to playing defense he’s someone that we could say is potentially a defensive player the year in the years to come so it’s hard to like give your own on defense and then now shoot the ball we know he could do more he absolutely yeah
ESPN bamat bio has recorded 34 double doubles this season the second most in his career but Kendrick Perkins what has impressed you so much about him well well everything and look about 3 years ago when I first started you know I was calling a bam out of Bayou and you know
How to make me correct that by saying his name and practicing more because of his play I’ve been having to say his name and his name is Bam out bio and when I talk about him I want you to think about look at this list right quick 1,000 points and 600 rebounds and
Look at the names in the in in this conversation that one of seven players to do that this season alone yeah you see it and it it’s been flying under the radar because of what sabonis and joic and Yannis has been doing but look at the video Malika he is so so versatile
At what he brings to the table you want a live threat bam is going to be that you want the face up game over Brook Lopez with a little turnaround in the paint he got that you want ad to Sag off and disrespect him from shooting the
Three he go DOD your eye and this is the most important thing his ability to be able to push the ball the length of the floor Euro stepping finish over joic okay defensively let’s not even talk about it he could be in the defensive player of the year uh race every single
Year matter of fact he is on the ball Defender if you want to see his versatility he could guard the perimeter he could match up with you in the paint he could get physical look at him switch out on Dame right here and close out
Give me that this is what bam brings to the table versatile def oh hey hey fam’s really it the prize wow and we we got the music I mean just look at this Hershey boy this dark chocolate wow I get this dis in and then we no grades
Go to break no grades ESPN is the official fourth book thly for a team like the Golden State Warriors who are ninth in the west they have struggled against the top four teams in the conference as you can see here that totals up to a combined 2 and2 record
Against those teams but that’s not the whole story right if you look at the 12 losses the margin of defeat is just over 6 and 1 12 points a game and 11 of those games were played before January 1st remember that’s before the Golden State Warriors really had their full
Complimented players together because of suspension because of various health issues my question is come on do you really want to bet against Steph Curry a Steph Curry Le Warrior Squad because Steph has six 40-point games this season that is the most in a season by a player
At age 35 or older but the question is at this point Chan how far can Steph Curry take this Golden State Warriors team look I’m giving all of the greats around LeBron James Steph Curry Kevin Durant and this is not about them diminishing their generational talents because Steph in year 15 is still
Leading the NBA in made Theses I mean this is his 15th season and he’s still doing things that are unimaginable for the consistency of a perimeter shooter but the fact of the matter is the West is stacked and they’re stacked up top with teams that understand what it takes
To try to build towards a championship and the Warriors even though they are capable of having a prime stuff season and so is LeBron James are you moistu this dude just put lotion on that’s necessary work though I’ll try to help you out bro look like you it
Don’t matter that’s a good point I do think you don’t bet bet against the Steph K the only problem for golden state is are they going to make the postseason at all because really they need to strain together six seven wins in a row in order to really even get out
Of that ninth spot you said you giving all the old heads a what one round right so make it make it through the play and that’s if they be around and when I think about Steph okay when I think about Steph can Steph lead a team to the
To the playoffs yes but the Golden State Warriors Silling is a first round exit I just don’t see this team making any noise in this postseason now look have they made strides in this regular season right the development Jonathan kaminga we see what paji is bringing to the
Table I get all that play paj P yeah psky psky yeah that’s what I good job well done got it English class we talking basketball nailed and Clay coming off the bench he coming off the bench but that’s not enough to compete in a tough Western Conference and they
Got to get there J I’m going to say this I I like your thoughts where you’re like look I’m not going to count against the greatest players that we’ve seen in this generation if they get in there we give them a round I get that but ultimately
We’re talking about a combined what four four and two you know I know Kevin Durant and Steph Curry so we’re talking about 10 championships between those three players they were always on good teams these teams suck these teams suck they know they suck I hate it when we
Talk about basketball IQ and like Braun and Steph and this High basketball IQ every day he walks out there and it’s like this team is kind of trash because these are teams that have won multiple championships they understand what it takes not L they’re trash they know that
And I’m not saying any individual players collectively as a group they know that they’re not getting it done Steph was on a 73 win team this team is ninth in the west and they might not make the we’re sitting up here saying well we think that they can make a run they
Don’t they might not think they can make a run so that’s the only thing I’m saying they’ve never been in the ninth spot eighth spot talking about we’re going to make a run could they get in and get around because of their greatness 100% but the cap for all of
Those teams is not getting out of their confidence I just don’t like any having to win two two play in games it’s not so much once they’re in the playoffs I’m with you we saw what Steph Curry did to to the number two Sacramento Kings last
Year putting up 50 plus in a game seven and literally leaving these young you know players saying oh my gosh that’s what it takes that I’m not betting against it’s having to win two playin games which it really looks like the Golden State Warriors or Lakers or
Probably both will have to do that’s what’s going to the construction of the Miami Heat teams they were younger they were hungrier that’s not the nature of these teams that we’re talking about with LeBron bellies is full at some point the help got to get help well speaking of getting healthy Joel
Embiid We last saw him play January 30th he’s been out with a miniscus injury since then we have an update on embiid’s health coming up right here is that some biceps I see he looking shape Foree Fore spe spee be okay Bute I can’t you do I foreign spe CH go On huh speee Speee you
