Wemby vs. Jokic was a NON-STOP HIGHLIGHT 🤩 + Bucks & 76ers’ threat in the East | Get Up

Want to watch Victor wanyama versus nicoa yic here’s a matchup we want to see forever Allan this was worth the price of admission absolutely was a present MVP against a future MVP look at him stretch and make that finger roll look at his arm just reaching out go go

Gadget arms that’s an old reference but watch this play here watch that anic how does he get that block he covers so much ground but keep an eye on him as the play continues watch this go the other way so first he’s over there he’s going

To get the rebound and put it back now but stay with it stay with it yic is not taking kindly to this has to finish it with the dunk and a little grin afterwards because he knew he was coming 20 years old look at these two and you can tell joic really enjoyed

This matchup yic had 42 and 16 when banama had 23 points 15 rebounds nine blocks and eight assists and after he made this bucket here the game was tied at 105 but in the final minute it was Denver able to untie christien Brown finding Michael Porter Jr he knocks this

Down and the Nuggets go on to win at 110 to 105 they’re the best team but Victor wanyama how close do you think he could possibly be Allan at this point to being the best player the best player in the league the MVP of the league I I think

He’s within a year or two I think he’s that close it all is going to obviously depend on how the Spurs build around him but think about just what he’s doing since the All-Star break 23 points 12 rebounds five assists and four blocks I

Had to look it up over the course of a season the player who last averaged those numbers was Kareem Abdul Jabar in 1979 that’s what we’re talking about here he came close to a quadruple double in this game which we haven’t seen in the NBA since 1994 remember what Russell

Westbrook did with the triple double bringing that back to the game yeah the quadruple double might be called the wemi when all when we’re all done here because he is the type of player that can do all of that have that typee of impact on the entire game both ends of

The floor at 20 years old we showed you a highlight that never stopped he went from one end to the other to the other to the other yes it ended with him getting dunked on but the fact that he got back to cover that dunk attempt from

Yic tells you all you need to know about his impact at both ends of the floor Jan what are the things that you and Malika and Company will be saying about him not just on NBA today today but into the future what are the right things to say

About the the the the Limitless potential of this player yeah they call him the alien for a reason because his talents are extra terrestrial and I have to disagree with Allan a little bit like two years to become the MVP the thing that predicates most valuable player is winning and I

Think the Spurs are more than two years away from winning in a meaningful way but immediately when I saw the first few games from wemi this season I was like this is a guy that will eat up literally every stat and then the fact that we

Have him blocking joic four times in one game this is the guy that a lot of people favor as the MVP it’s it’s so far that he has moved so fast forward through his one rookie year campaign where he’s been able to prove that he can go toe-to-toe with the best all

Right so let’s leave that one there for the moment because I have a lot of other things I want to get to we can talk more about him as we go but let’s run the floor LeBron James and the Lakers win yesterday LeBron had 23 Lakers beat the

Raptors they’ve won seven out of eight Allen are they a legit threat in the West they are if they can get the seventh seed you don’t want the eighth seed they’re still battling in the play and if they have to play the Denver Nuggets it’s not a good matchup but OKC

Minnesota if they have to play those two much better matchup for them but LeBron does not look like he’s slowing down Anthony Davis to his credit has played all season been available and this team starting to find its form once again just like they did last year I think

They are dangerous is Golden State they beat the Mavericks last night despite 57 from Luca and Kyrie golden state currently 10th in the west Chen is this too little too late for Steph and Company it absolutely is If This Were game one of the NBA season you look at

The stats Steph Curry only a few points 13 as you see there seven rebounds seven assists you’re like wow everyone The Supporting Cast is stepping up but unfortunately it’s too late they’re trapped in the playin and then let’s get back to the Bucks we talked about them a

Little earlier they lose to the Wizards yesterday in a game that Damen Lillard doesn’t play I mean Allan let’s go right to the sound bite here so we can react to it and then we’ll talk this was Doc Rivers they’ve been particularly bad on the road and they lose this inexcusable

Game listen to Doc afterwards we don’t bring the necessary um professionalism seriousness on the road um and and that’s something that we can fix um that’s something we’re going to have to fix I’m sorry what yeah we we we what we don’t bring what I mean this is a

Champion ship aspiring team it’s not not if not if that is true and how do I take you seriously as the Milwaukee Bucks if that’s what you’re about 18 and 20 on the road you go into W there’s nobody in the building it’s empty it’s an open gym

Basically and you go in there and you just kind of like don’t even give an effort give credit to the Wizards and Brian Keef they’ve done a great job trying to just stay keep something going in Washington where it’s been despair for many years but you got to be kidding

Me even without Lillard and I just feel like what you’re seeing there is not just barely over 500 with Doc as the coach so nothing really has changed on that front but Giannis gets a triple double plays outstanding they really miss Drew holiday they’re going to show

That’s going to show in the playoffs and if they get the wrong matchup in the first round they could be out again in the first round like oh by the way Jo Joel embiid and the 76ers that we saw at the beginning of the show Chan are the

Bucks a legitimate threat in the East unfortunately no and I’m someone that does I’m like glass half full but right now they are not because they’re one and six when Dame Lillard does not play they need both stars out there but they also need better perimeter defense they need better transition defense and

They will have to show up on the road the biggest Miracle is how they’ve been able to remain number two in the East considering the ups and downs the fluctuations of their play I still think when you have two of the better players in the east on the floor you have a

Chance but right now they put all their chips in on Dame Lillard and unfortunately those that has opened up holes that they have had trouble to plug in Joe well andb playing for the first time since January 30th Sixers and thunder first quarter what are you seeing from embiid here alen H I’m

Seeing embiid moving well defensively and being an impact player right away in the minutes that he played for this team Tobias Harris knocks down the three on the other end embiid would play 29 minutes this is just four minutes in you can see obviously the fatigue as a

Factor but he’s he’s always tired greeny he always looks tired but then he gets the ball and he does a step back jumper and he looks like himself again that Donjoy brace though you see it right there protecting that left knee the miniscus surgery to get him back on the

Court he had 12 at the half now here we go the Sixers trying to come back they were down as many as 10 that’s Kelly UB who led the way with 25 points gets the Sixers within two and then here’s embiid working in the mid-range and then right

Back Innings yeah he just looks like himself offensively that’s for sure and then obviously you also need him inside the paint just getting it done here going up strong Oklahoma City doesn’t have the size to contend with him Ted holgren another rough night see him land

All right take a breath right you got to get to the free throw line he was 12 for 12 by the way from the line half his points at the line he made those two there which were critical and then the defense he would make more foul shots

There and be finishes with 24 points six rebounds seven assists and the Sixers get a big win they’ve got six games remaining let’s see what he can do Joel talk to me it took a a tall man to uh you know I just want to come back I

Just want a comeback you know I just I think we got a chance uh even you know the level that I’m at and I’m only going to get better but you know this one was probably the hardest by far you know especially mentally right they have six games

Remaining in the regular season CH gumuk up with us as well this morning I’m not I’m just cutting directly to the chase this time CH I’m not dancing around the question with a healthy Joel embiid are the Sixers the biggest threat to the ridiculous LLY dominant Celtics in the Eastern

Conference woo don’t dance around it I’m going to give you a straight answer no because that is a big if Joel embiid is able to return back to form but I will say this embiid coming back with a handful of games left is forcing sleep sleepless nights all across the East it

Doesn’t matter if you’re the Celtics or the bucks or the Knicks the biggest issue last night versus OKC was his stamina my guy was tired but his impact remains intact without his legs he still gives you 246 and seven assists he still gives you defense at The Rim he still

Gives you free throws in the clutch what will he look like after their remaining six games the answer is a problem but right now the Sixers still have a lot to piece together in order to contend with the League’s best record in the Celtics

Yeah I mean most of the East is not very good they’re all the same right it’s the Celtics are Head and Shoulders above so threat to the Celtics no however if the Sixers get a good first round matchup for them that’s more games that you can

Buy for him the more games that they play the more condition he’ll get into the better things will go if they can stay out of the Celtics bracket and then they can find their way to the Conference Finals some way somehow with with the matchups because Tyrese Maxi who didn’t play last night

Is much better when he’s got embiid on the court they’ve added pieces that embiid was gone they added these pieces is that will make them better so the more they play the better it’ll be for him to get into shape and then maybe by the Conference Finals they could be a

Threat well the path you’re describing is sitting right there for them they figure to be in the S eight game in the playin if they win that game that’s a one game scenario to be the seven seed which means you get Milwaukee in the first round and you’re on the other half

Of draw from Boston yes or Cleveland and it’s set up for them if you look at the remaining schedule that they have they have the easiest remaining strength of schedule strength compared to any other team in the east they are not playing tough teams the next game that’s the

Tough one they play the heat on Thursday but look at it even though it’s on the road at Grizzlies you should win that game Spurs have played better it is on the road but still should win that game pistons not even trying magic that’s a tough one but they might be locked into

Their spot and then Brooklyn again not even trying these are games that are winnable that could get them right where they need to be by the way someone just drew this to my attention this morning and it is worth saying on the air because it’s so remarkable the Celtics

Have a 12g game lead between first and second place in the Eastern Conference that is larger than the margin from first place to 10th place in the Western Conference that’s how ridiculously dominant the Celtics have been so Jan at the end of the day is everyone just

Playing for second place in the East anyway oh absolutely because I’ve always said that the Celtics greatest competition is the Celtics the standard is for the them to win a championship they have improved based off of the two years ago being in the finals and even last year’s Squad and so everyone is

Playing for second place but the thing is if there’s one team that really lacks a little bit of confidence that plays a little bit too cool for school it is the Celtics but their expectation is to make sure that League best record delivers them to the finals
