“FIRST TAKE: Curry Can’t Save GSW from Play-In | Stephen A & JJ Redick on Warriors #10 in West” #gsw

Now feature some big names Luca and the Mavericks are seventh tied with the Kings the Suns and their big three are a half game back and then you got LeBron’s Lakers and Steph Curry’s Warriors in the nine and 10 spots by the way Mad Dog you

Know that JJ reck has a new podcast out with LeBron just did LeBron that’s a tremendous job very very good is he a fan a fan of what first take oh I we’ve never talked about first how do you not get into the idea pay attention to First

Of first of all he’s not and even if he did he wouldn’t admit it that’s a good answer and that’s life he’s a big sports fan though isn’t he oh yeah likes the football likes the college NCAA tournament all that thing okay great guy great player and an absolute basketball

Savant him with JJ will be must SE oh you haven’t started basketball no first yeah on the train epe two is already record every chance I get I’ve mention you go out there and do it with them you do it via Zoom what do you do

Be a mixture of both the first the first four will be in person for how long about 30 minutes 45 minutes or now that’s pretty damn good look at that JJ re you I mean I know you you JJ re he’s a BFD I saw him talking I I I I kind of

You know if I may if I oh here we go is this what this I kind of want to see JJ reic getting fired up with LeBron sitting across from him you know I’m just saying will little personality the personality Let It Shine Let It Shine

Thanks for the show Nots you know what a pet people of mine is what is is is when you release one thing and everyone immediately gives you feedback unsolicited yeah it’s just a it’s just a well you do it why not me okay well listen I’m only a hype woman not that

You guys need it so leave me out of this okay Stephen would it be bad for the NBA if these are the four teams that are in the playing tournament at the end of the season and the four teams being the MAV Suns Lakers Warriors yes it would be and

The reason why it would be is because it would ensure that half of those dudes aren’t in the playoffs it would ensure that you know Luca and Kyrie KD and and and and and Booker and Bill more so kti and Booker of course LeBron ad

Steph at least you know three or four of those players not in the playoffs at all that would be that would not be a good thing I think the NBA has young Stars it should be promoting more should be giving more shine to and especially some of these home environments I mean to

Look at Sacramento last year when they were going up against Golden State I’m talking about the crowd I’m talking about the Ambiance of it all I think it’s spectacular to see Dallas’s crowd is really really great for their games particularly when Luca and and Kyrie

Gets going we see all of that and so you know you want to see that kind of environment come postseason time with the Stars on the court you look at guys like that you know from a talent perspective all of them should be in the playoffs but you got to produce you got

To win games and unfortunately if the if all all of those were in the play in at least three to four of those players would not be participating come play off time and that would not be a good thing now the NBA that would be a problem but

This is what the playing thing was all about to begin with make sure that they play hard throughout the course of the year to avoid the one game and when you’re under 500 like Atlanta or the Bulls are doesn’t have as much juice but these are four pretty decent teams

They’re all over 500 the Lakers in Golden State As Stevie just said have a lot of Hall of Famer so does Phoenix and so does Dallas but the NBA J is a that is a star driven league and if they lose LeBron they lose Curry they lose uh uh

Thompson they lose uh Devin Booker they lose donic that is a big hit if they lose four or five of these big guys for a best of seven Series in the first round it’s good for the NBA for the playin ratings I will say that good for

That do good for that and but look I I think it’s important to note it’s not like all of these teams would be out of the playoffs you’re still getting two of these teams so you’re still getting four or five of these Stars you go down the Western Conference Shay joic Anthony

Edwards Fox sabonis Zion Ingram kawhai PG Harden plus whoever makes it out of the play in there’s enough stars in the Western Conference I think the whole conversation around the next face of the NBA The Changing of the Guard we’ve talked about this for like a month now

After the All-Star break and I I I I believe this this year in particular there’s a huge opportunity for somebody in some team there’s a huge opportunity for somebody in some team it does feel like a Changing of the Guard just asking this question well yeah absolutely and

It’s a changing it’s a change of guard it’s a huge opportunity as well but I would say this to you the reason why I say it hurts is because you know you the seven to eighth seed or I’m sorry you’re the ninth or the 10th seed one you know

You want and done pretty much you got one more game you’d like to see them and you’ve seen Stars before go home in the first round hell when magic and the Lakers were winning you saw magic lose to Ralph Samson and elijan in the first round you know we’ve seen something like

That happened before we get that part I’m just simply saying you know to to to have a best of seven and to not see them as a part of that even though you’ve got three or four other dudes that’s going to be in there those three or four Dudes

That’s going to be out Stephen this is this is though this is the reality the NBA is facing yeah this is the reality and let’s be honest when we talk star power we’ve all seen the numbers when we talk star power it really comes down to

Two guys it comes down to Stephan LeBron and those guys are in the nine and 10 spot that’s right so as it stands today one of those guys wouldn’t be in the playoff well maybe both because the N right at least one at least one atast one correct um here’s a good question

For you will the pelic not the Pelicans will the Mavericks Suns and Kings who are separated by one game and two of them are going to be in the playin will they be motivated as players the last five six games of the year to avoid the one game playoff oh my gosh absolutely

Play they got a little tweak they go out there and they play the game absolutely absolutely that’s important yeah AB because that’s what the NBA wants they want these I think that’s the difference between college and the NBA right College comes down to one game you have

An off shooting night you’re going to lose yeah I joke all the time like people I was like you had every every last game in the tournament you played at Duke that you you guys lost and you didn’t shoot well I’m like well nope yes I I didn’t shoot well we lost that’s

What happened when I played at Duke you don’t want it to come down you want it to come down to a series you want that guaranteed playoff spot the better team wins the series and in a one game anything can happen right exactly this would be the third time in four years

That the Lakers are in the playing tournament last year was the only time somebody in the playing tournament advance past the first round but three times in the last this sh for foree Fore fore spee spee for speech for speech foreign foreign for speech foreign speech for foreign foreign fore for spee fore
