NBA TODAY| He should’ve told his guys to defend better – Perk rips Williams’ criticism of DiVincenzo

They rolled the Pistons man 124 99 thanks to Dante D vinchenzo who scored a career-high 40 points set the Knicks single game record for the most three-pointers made with 11 but it was what was said after the game that raised a couple of eyebrows here was Pistons

Coach Monty Williams after the game but first um Dante I mean if Jaylen passed the ball more I could have had probably 15 of them tonight but nah everybody was unselfish everybody was playing for one another and it was a fun game to be a

Part of I don’t care about their team at all could I could care less um those guys uh the way they got those threes I don’t want to be a part of that story if he don’t want to be a part of the story sure guys to

Defend we got a guy that’s hot we’re going to try to find a guy that’s hot I mean that’s it’s Common Sense B okay pause Mii was clearly upset with the Knicks running the score at the end Josh Hart kind of had the perfect response though so uh perk chop it or drop

It oh we got a chop it I gotta to chop money Chop Chop Monty Williams up for a second first of all you should want to be a part of the Nick story because they actually win it nobody wants to be a part of the Detroit Piston story right

Now you’re 12 and 60 you have the worst record in the NBA you can’t get mad at the Knicks because they’re doing their job this is not a local form league with a mercy room rule if you wanted to stop it you should have game planed or

Trapped them man and slowed them down look the Knicks did nothing wrong this is professional basketball we’re talking about grown men again Monti Williams is upset at the wrong person or the wrong team he should be upset with the individuals that he’s coaching in that locker room so Kendrick Perkins and Josh

Hart clearly agree on this one enough said next up the Clippers they lost 133 to 116 to the Pacers last night who were on the second night of a back toback by the way across the street they’re now 8 and 10 since the break they Fallen to fifth in the Western Conference and

Let’s just say that head coach tyo he was not too happy about his team’s performance last night take a listen right now do we have an identity um I think yeah we’re solved I could be an identity if you want to call that like we got to be tougher like mentally and physically

Okay so for one one short day the Clippers got to first in the Western Conference that was in early February since then they’re 10 and 12 and their defense has been absolutely awful Brian wior chop it or drop it oh we’re chopping it and we’re chopping a different spot in those standings when

We look at the playin because guess who is in heavy reverse and we now have to look at the Clippers when it comes to the playin because guess what folks not only they in fifth they are two games out of seventh that’s playin Zone and they’re about to go on an Eastern

Conference road trip oo boy they’re fifth right now the Pelicans have their number so if they’re not incredibly careful Brian they could be looking at a first-run exit if they don’t figure this out quickly oh being a playin team in this season with where they’ve been with

With what they’ve got on the line would be a disaster ending up playing the Lakers in a one-game playoff in the play in to get into the playoffs and their last game potentially in crypto would be a quadruple disaster well they are hoping to avoid quadruple disaster all

Right lastly here Caitlyn Clark and Iowa they kept their National Championship hopes alive last night beating West Virginia 64 to 54 Clark LED all scores with 32 points but it was the free throw differential that caught a whole lot of people’s attentions West Virginia finished with five total free throws

Iowa had 30 Damen Liller took to social media had some thoughts on the officiating he said this I feel like West Virginia Women’s team getting bad by the referees so Chan chop it or drop it does dve have a point here oh we going to chop this because your girls

Working March Madness and this has been a thing now mind you Iowa Caitlyn she did her thing too right 32 points I think eight rebounds six or so assists they won but the storyline of the tournament really has been being able to play at home helps you and then also

Being able to get to the free throw line which has helped Iowa and has helped LSU LSU actually has a plus 51 free free throw differential in their first two games yes yes and this is a team that shoots the ball in Iowa right so like

You think that how do they get these free throws it has been a little touch and go with the referee but still it is better I I I think people all know what what people are striving for but the at the end of the day Iowa made the big

Shots that matter the most they weren’t necessarily free throws they were actual shots but West Virginia does have a right to be mad the same way that Middle Tennessee state has a right to be mad as well all I know is the women’s tournament has so much fun to watch it’s

Where it’s at if you’re not watching you are missing out coming up on M Damon sabonis he has more double doubles than in andout does Monday was his 54th straight double double the longest streak by any player since the NBA ABA merger that M passed the mark that Kevin

Love set he had 53 straight that was back in 2011 and look who is here fresh off his record setting night Damon sabonis is joining us thank you so much for taking a little bit of time and congratulations I want to start domas with last night right after you realized

You broke the record you pointed out in the stands you blew a kiss to your wife to to your family how did it feel to share that moment with them uh it it was really cool you know it kind of worked out where uh the basket and the rebound happen at the

Same time and it wasn’t out so I had a little moment there to um celebrate with my family with my kids you know and uh make it more special it it’s pretty wild when you think of all the greats that came before you I think think of Duncan

I think of Kareem Moses sha your streak of double doubles lasts longer than all of them what does it mean to you to hear your name in that Hall of Fame company and and know you’ve even exceeded those records um you know it’s definitely an honor to be mentioned with all those

Guys like you said they’re all they’re all in the Hall of Fame they’re all legends you know Big Time centers and um just to go out there and uh be able to do my job for this team every day you know um that’s why we play this game you

Playing better than you are right now because you’re right up there at the top I mean the the NBA is full of talent there’s a a whole bunch of uh talented NBA bigs you know that’s why it makes it so fun every night you go against a different team and uh it’s another
