“Embiid is the best player in any series” – Perk: 76ers have enough to compete with Celtics & Bucks
Right now we’ve got RC get out of the way we got Santa perk ready to go he’s back with us to discuss all things NBA on this Christmas day he was earlier with us this morning giving us little gifts Christmas wish gifts for everybody and one of them was LeBron you were
Telling me how LeBron needs another running mate he needs some help what are you looking forward to in his matchup today with the Boston Celtics well I’m looking at the others greeny because think about what dingham had to do uh last game against Oklahoma City Thunder he had to move LeBron to
The point guard position LeBron had to go for 40 you know why because of the inconsistent play on the perimeter but when you think about LeBron James at 38 years of age I don’t want him playing 37 minutes I don’t want all those minutes having to load up on my old fella and
Greeny here’s the fact of the matter the up the rest of the guys cam redish Ru hamar even Austin Reeves to extent right right now I told this to Stephen A the other day they can’t hit a bull in the behind with an ironing board that’s how horrible they’ve been with Forest
Shooting and so when I’m looking at it today if LeBron doesn’t go out there and have a LeBron James type game and I’m not talking about 27 and seven I’m talking about 35 Plus they’re going to get smoked by the Boston Celtics Celtics right now look as good as any team in
The whole NBA I’m with you actually big perk in an earlier commercial break RC and Jeff and I were talking about how both LeBron and Kevin Durant the two sort of legendary Stars along with Steph of this league still playing at such a high level Durant is playing so well but
His team is way worse than the Lakers are they’re right now a 500 team they’re in 11th place is Phoenix a legitimate threat with Kevin Durant to do anything of consequence as the season goes on they are because of Kevin Durant and Devon Booker but let me tell you this
Greeny I’m concerned about them and since I’m in a giv mood Santa perk I actually gifted them a heart the other day and I’m not talking about from The Wizard of Oz because look this team lacks physicality this team is really really soft and that’s the narrative and
That’s what everyone is around the league is saying if you get physical with them if you punish them in the inside if you make it a rugged type game you’re going to beat the Phoenix Suns they have to clean up those those areas that doesn’t come from Frank vogle that
Doesn’t come from James Jones that come from within so until they find it within to buy in and say you know what we’re going to do the little things we’re going to dive on the floor we’re going to get the flexions we’re going to get extra possessions by getting in into the
Paint and the trenches and mixing it up for as rebounding then you’re going to beat the Phoenix Suns and guess what greeny there’ll be a first round exit if they don’t get it together and that will be a complete failure this season yeah if if they even get there in the first
Place and let me finish it up by going back to the east here in the 76ers because we know look Boston’s got their stars and Milwaukee’s got their big Duo and Philadelphia has got a big two as well LED of course by embiid and Tyrese Maxi has been so good this year does
Philly have enough to contend with Boston and Milwaukee and make it a three- team Race in the Eastern Conference hell yeah and I’mma I’mma go a little further greeny if Philly was to play the bucks right now in the playoff series they’ll beat them they’ll beat
Them see I think we don’t give Philly enough credit for the depth that they have Kelly UB has been playing exceptional basketball being a star in this role I love the addition of Nicholas baton although he’s been out for the past couple games due to a hamstring DeAnthony Melton he has been
Phenomenal and on top hold on I got to VIs he just wanted to show off his suit he just want to he want to show off his suit ladies and Stephen A I miss you this year my good friend I hope you have a terrific Christmas out there with
Everybody I’m not even sure he can hear from or he can hear us but we will hear from him as we continue and obviously first take for an hour what’s the face but griny here the thing real quick think about cuz I was rudely interrupted here’s thing real quick yes you are Nick
If Nick nurse is a hell of a coach he got those young fellas playing some inspired basketball over there now I don’t know if they have enough to compete with the Boston Celtics but the Milwaukee Bucks I’m taking the Philadelphia 76ers big perk have a does not get better Santa
Perk is ready to go the hoop starts at 11 I miss you big fella it is great to see you and with the hat on this morning you’re going to be handing out some gifts so let’s start with joeel embiid who un fortunately won’t be playing
Tonight but but uh because he hurt the ankle but what is your Christmas gift your Christmas wish for Joel MB well first of all Merry Christmas to you greeny but look we’re talking about Joel embid who is right now the front runner for the MVP you know what my wish is for
Joel embiid can we get this version in the postseason I need him to be healthy greeny he hasn’t been healthy in the last two postseasons that’s my wish for Joel and be to stay healthy how about your old teammate Kevin Durant what is your Christmas wish for him he you know
What is to have his other troops on the floor with him and I’m talking about Booker Bill together we haven’t seen the big three yet greeny I believe it it’s only been for one quarter we want to see this High powerered offense we want to see these three officient scores take
The floor together that is my wish for KD he has had bad luck he he has to a large degree and then how about the man you consider the goat what is your Christmas wish for LeBron James he need a third star greeny and I’m looking at Zack LaVine Zack LaVine come
In and help around the perimeter being able to put up 20 consistently being able to be another playmaker that’s what the Lakers are lacking D’Angelo Russell is not getting it done they need help taking the pressure off of LeBron James and Anthony Davis for as the Los Angeles
Lakers LeBron had to go for 40 the other night greeny in order for the Lakers to win a basketball game in a regular season cuz they’ve been in the slump yeah look three weeks ago we were all excited they win the n Season tournament they look like they really have it going
They have been slumping since then do you feel that this ler team so you’re telling me if they don’t make a move of consequence between now and the trade deadline they are not a title Contender granny this this this is the thing when when you think about the NC
Season tournament it was a beautiful thing shout out to Adam Silva the best commissioner in sports in my opinion but it was Fool’s Gold they had the easiest pull and then they beat the Pelicans and the Pacers to go on and win it and but this team is not good and they don’t
Have enough to compete in the tough Western Conference if you have Elite guard play if your guards are fast you’re going to beat the Los Angeles Lakers it’s a reason that dingham moved the Russell to the bench the last game and went big because he had no choice he
Had to make an adjustment he moved LeBron James back to the point guard position and I mean listen I know father time is not a thing for LeBron but at the end of the day the man is aging and they got to get him a third star in
There as of right now the roster that they have it cannot compete in the Western Conference and we know LeBron James got one thing and one thing only on his mind and that’s to win NBA championship absolutely tonight they will play another team with that on
Their mind on ABC at 5 eastern time we’ll see them taking on the Celtics I was at the Garden to see Milwaukee the other day they looked awfully good are the Celtics in your mind the team to beat in the Eastern Conference grany you know I’ve been in
My feelings right I’ve been in my feelings when they traded Marcus sport but I I I got to admit I was wrong I don’t see a team beating the Boston Celtics not just in the east the conference but in the entire NBA they are the favorites to win at all when you
Talk about the elite guard play that they have around the perimeter we know J what jayen Brown and Jason Tatum is going to bring to the table but when you add in a little sprinker of Derek white along with some Drew holiday along with some pton pritchet Off the Bench look
This team files up a lot of three-point shots but guess what at the end of the day there no other team that has the Personnel to match this offensive fire power that the Celtics have right now all right if there was one thing I’m going to miss on this Christmas day is
Watching uh the way big perk Santa perk goes after that Buffet I was there the last two years they put a nice Buffet out there big perk they got to have you have your own Buffet out there set up today at the lapc we have your own spot
I hope so I hope so because that’s on my Christmas list Greening groceries get the groceries up in there Merry Christmas my good friend we’ll see you in a couple more minutes actually we’ll have some more Hoops with him a little later in our show and then again five great Foree speech forign speech foreign speech speeech for foreign speeech speee spee spee spee you got second foree turn On see spee
