COMEBACK OF THE YEAR?! 😤 Lakers looked ‘INTERESTING’ without LeBron – Tim Legler | Get Up

COMEBACK OF THE YEAR?! 😤 Lakers looked ‘INTERESTING’ without LeBron – Tim Legler | Get Up

What a night this was Tim Lego The Comeback of the night one of the big comebacks of the Year Lakers in Milwaukee no LeBron last night and when Damen Lillard knocks down this shot in the fourth quarter the Bucks have a 19point lead yeah the second time in the

Game first quarter they jumped out to a big lead they do it again in the fourth but the lers weren’t going away they showed a lot of toughness and they’re the ones that made the winning plays late in this game that had to be made Anthony Davis who played basically the

Whole night Austin Reeves who had a 20 9 point triple double they bring it all the way back the game winds up tied final possession for Milwaukee 2 and 1/2 seconds great play design first of all he definitely got held by ad when he tries to make this cup I don’t know why

Jannis tried to scoop that just catch it and shoot a little short bank shot with your hand on top of the basketball and it probably goes in you win the game no call so we go the other way actually final second Austin Reeves yeah too deep

Almost Banks it in but just a little bit too deep to get the shot up that he wanted so we’re going to overtime 2 minutes change in the OT Spencer did witty this is the Lakers first lead of the whole game sneaky acquisition for the Lakers under the radar but he is

Going to pay huge dividends once they get to the playin situation which I think they’ll be in so there’s the great block from ad but in the end this play great ball movement to Lillard chaos play after the block bucks nice job all the way around the horn Lillard with a

Big Corner three it looks like the Bucks are in good shape once again it comes down to this 3 seconds left in overtime Lillard for the win one of the best defensive plays I’ve seen all year because Anthony Davis had to stay with Giannis till the last second if he

Leaves too early it’s a lob Dunk game over instead he timed it perfectly and then the second overtime belonged to Austin Reeds yeah great awareness right there on the catch sees there’s no backline defense drives Baseline and then the Bucks mess up this switch with the two guards Austin Reeves steps into

An open three Reeves had 29 Points 14 rebounds 10 assists Anthony Davis had 34 points and 23 rebounds in a night when he played 52 minutes and 51 seconds so he was just shy of 53 minutes that’s the most he’s played at any game all year

Long and again the first words you spoke to me this morning when I saw you were not all regular season games mean the same that one meant a lot it was a significant win for the Lakers it’s a statement win and like I feel like sometimes we definitely are trying to

Figure out ways that we want to talk about the Lakers as if they’re interesting or they’re threatening they looked like it last night without LeBron because of the way they managed the end of this game and the fact that they dug out of a regular season game on the road

Without their best player twice the resilience that it showed a lot of teams you’re just mailing that in once you get down that big early in the game or you get that down that big in the fourth quarter they didn’t do it they fought back and then they put the ball in the

Hands of really role players on that team that made the difference and the Bucks were not able to look ad as as great as he can be offensively some nights I really believe when the Lakers are at their best it’s because of what we’re talking talking about him doing on

The defensive end of the Court he is just a massive disruptor in the paint and he did it repeatedly last night including two of the biggest possessions of the game he had his imprints all over it on that end of the floor he was spectacular last night the Lakers were

In this dog fight with all these other teams down there in the playin neighborhood in the Western Conference and then over on the other side there are some questions about I I am a if you watch the show you know I’m a Believer in Milwaukee this year in the East but

There are questions and they reared head last night well look they made a coaching change Doc Rivers comes in and they definitely have tightened up things defensively they are a better defensive team now than they were at the start of the year when they had a lot of issues

But you saw some issues last night with their Lake game management that surface that make you start to think again is this going to be a problem first of all just the flow of the offense late with Lillard and an tupo I don’t necessarily think they’ve really hit their stride

Yet in understanding how they want to operate late in games then Giannis missed a couple of big free throws they they they had mistakes defensively at critical times that led to wideopen shots for the Lakers basically with the game on the line so there were some things late in that game greeny that

Give you a little bit of concern even though the Bucks have significantly narrowed the Gap with Boston you see last night I still think look Boston is clearly the heavy favorite to win the Eastern Conference yeah really good night in the NBA last night we’ll have

More from legs so legs and I were hanging out in hair and makeup this morning as a couple of guys will usually do and and we got into a long conversation about the NBA regular season and how so many nights it’s hard to take a lot out of any individual game

Because of who plays and who doesn’t but you were very impressed with what the Lakers did last night it is why I said to you not all wins are created equal this is a huge statement game for the Lakers particularly at this time of the year to go in there without LeBron on

The road start out the game the Bucks have a big lead in the first quarter easily the Lakers could have said you know what not our night we don’t have our best player and mail it in and lose by 2530 the fact that they showed that

Kind of fight to get back in the game and then more importantly greeny the plays they made down the stretch on both ends of the floor I talked about that block by Anthony Davis on Lillard if it wasn’t for the Anthony Edwards Block in the Indiana patri game that’s the

Defensive best defensive play I’ve seen late in the year because of the timing associated with it and then offensively no LeBron where are you going to go with your offense Austin Reeves steps up and has the best game probably of his career and he is so good late in managing the

Situation as a primary ball handler got big help from Den witty big help from Anthony Davis obviously we’ve talked about a lot this is a huge win for the Lakers look I’m not going to sit here and say oh now here we go good to go

Lakers going to go on a roll and make it to the Conference Finals we’re not there yet but this absolutely carries more weight and Darin ham said top three I don’t know if you’re going to find two better wins than that all year long for the Lakers yeah they play they won the

Inseason tournament but but outside of that and maybe that’s what he’s referring to this felt like a statement win and on the other side I mean he was a a Milwaukee team about whom there were going to be questions and you were saying to me this morning some of those

Questions really reared their ugly head last well they were significantly better in clutch situations pre- do now they’ve improved in some areas with Doc Rivers they certainly are playing harder defensively that was a massive problem for them the first half of the season and it really led to Adrian Griffin’s

Firing they have improved I think docs made them more accountable the effort is better consistently on a nightly basis but late game managing offensively how you are going to approach that is still an issue for them and by by the way I still don’t think it’s an easy thing to

Figure out for Damen Lillard when you’ve got Yannis Santa the Koopa this is the first time in Damen Lillard’s career he’s not the best player on a team probably since he was 5 years old that creates a little bit of difference and just a little bit of uncertainty in

Certain moments of how you’re going to operate I think that’s a problem for them and also again giannis’s free throw issue surfaced again late last night now that was always a problem for him he answered that call in a huge way the year they won the championship in fact

50 points in the closeout game I believe he was 17 for 19 from the line if you recall in that game in the finals it surfaced again last night in a big spot and the second one wasn’t really close you wonder what’s going through his mind in those pressure situations so that’s a

Bad loss for the bucks but more importantly a great win for the Lakers now the first thing leg said to me was that might have been the best night of the year in the NBA and as the morning continues we’ll have a lot more on some

Of the other games when you look at your screen right now you see how important all of these games are look how jumbled up everybody is remember number 11 doesn’t even get into the play in and the redot rockets are sitting there just a game behind the Warriors the Lakers

Are in the playing as we speak the Mavericks and the suns are in the play as we speak so let’s go over the superstars that we’re talking about here you got Luka in that mix you got KD in that mix LeBron Steph of those te which

Of those teams do you like the best Luca’s team KD Lebron Steph definitely Dallas I I think Dallas has a legitimate shot to make a run at the Western conf finals if they can avoid Denver’s side of the bracket this is the best team that Luka donic has had think about what

I’m saying he’s already been to the Conference Finals and I know they had Jaylen Brunson on that team but Jaylen Brunson is not the same Jaylen Brunson that’s playing for the Knicks right now at that time this is his best team the way he’s meshing with Kyrie critical

They have been Sensational and they seem like they absolutely have figured out this e and flow between them more importantly it’s the guys around them the athletes in the middle that finish everything at The Rim to put pressure on team so you can’t load up on Luca

They’ve got more than enough shooting on the perimeter and they’re playing their best basketball right now greeny at the most important time of the year and which one are you the most worried about again Luca team you love KD Lebron Steph pardon me who are we the most worried

About absolutely the Suns I mean they they’ve had two of the worst losses I’ve seen all season they lose to the bucks without Giannis giving up 140 points in that game and then you lose to the Spurs a team that’s not even trying to win without Victor wian

So I don’t know how you pull that off if you’re the Phoenix Suns it’s literally virtually impossible to do what they did against the Spurs so I’m looking at the Phoenix Suns right now I see I see a group of guys that literally look like they just met each other there’s no

Connection and there’s no toughness they just don’t have that fight that you need to see every night I know Frank vogel’s seeing the same things can he draw that out of them can they do they have enough leadership in that locker room to figure this out because there’s too much talent

At the top of the roster to come out and play that listless the way that they have in some of these losses recently so no doubt Phoenix is the team that I’m clearly most concerned about we just said it Lakers had a great win last night Warriors had a great win last

Night and you know how I feel about Dallas well process of elimination that means the Phoenix Suns are in a little bit of trouble maybe the ones who get eliminated all right stay Close m
