The Herd | Colin reacts Giannis outduels Wemby as Bucks def. Spurs, Jokic outduels Curry
Was wildly entertaining last night is a perfect representation of what the NBA is now hyper talented International big men taking over the sport 7 foot three for behind the back can run the floor can shoot can defend at The Rim can at times defend on the perimeter taking
Over games and taking over the league you know step LeBron and KD are having good great years and in the west they are 9 10 and 11 in the standings that’s the new NBA the Old Guard is out the new guard is international long and strong
It’s the next level of a global sport it’s unbelievable the last five years the MVPs have been Yannis twice joic twice embiid once and embiid this year because James Harden left is now like Mr assist guy he can even pass the ball he’s got a little yic to his game so
Giannis against wmi last night was just completely freakish Next Level basketball it was crazy watching Shaq and Kenny and Charles they’re just they’re watching this stuff Giannis is like wemi if wemi had been in an NBA wait room for a decade long strong had a dunk
To seal at late a much more refined game a a stronger player physically but it was classic stuff you were watching Greg papovich said at one point like there’s just nothing like it like it doesn’t look like anything we’ve ever seen before the Bucks won it as they should
Have because Giannis right now is better than wemi and Yannis down the stretch had the big bucket so it was fascinating meanwhile out west joic my opinion the best current basketball player in the world wrapped up his nugget win with this yic has it clock ticks got to put
One up yic for the win oh it’s good yit got it off in time and the Nuggets win it yeah they inbounded the ball to the seven-footer hey bro you bring it up the floor we don’t need a guard you can bring it up the floor he said when he
Let go of it and he’s a humble guy I’ve met him he said yeah I knew it was going in I mean it’s just different it is a new world it’s a little unorthodox it doesn’t look like anything we’ve seen we all love Michael Michael couldn’t defend
These guys give me a break we thought Kevin Durant was great he wasn’t this big this long I mean it’s just incredible these guys are amazing I love it I thought the Denver Nuggets were fascinating and the reason I love wemi and the reason I love Giannis and the
Reason I love yic is because they do so many things centers in the 70s and 80s and 90s you know John conak will Purdue Bill cartright those days are over these guys carry the ball in the inbound joic has missed five shots total in his last four games I’m not joking he missed
Three last night total he had an off night it’s just like nothing we’ve seen and uh here’s Giannis talking about his game against the kid he’s unbelievable unbelievable Talent can score at at will anytime he wants uh play that I weigh play to win uh it was great playing against him and
I you know if you’ve listened to this show I like new stuff I’m not a High School letterman jacket guy I’m not a tradition guy I don’t collect baseball cards I’m not a collector I like new stuff I like the future more than the past the windshield more than the
Rearview mirror I don’t care about bowl games dying most of them are boring most people don’t go to most of them the sponsors Bounce Around bowl game to bowl game give me new stuff give me a 12 team college football playoff what we’re watching in the NBA is fascinating to me
And and last night was a perfect representation for what the best basketball league in the world looks like now and going forward embiid wemi Luca Giannis Joker it’s just incredible incredibly skilled basketball So Pro Bowl yesterday Pro Bowl team came out seven division titles Super Bowl wins let’s look at John
Harbaugh oh wait they’re virtually identical virtually identical in fact Mike even has a couple more division titles it should be noted Mike McCarthy’s had weird ownership situations Green Bay doesn’t have one a negative and Dallas has a semi- meding one Harbaugh’s got arguably a top four
To five owner in the league Harbaugh has Lamar Jackson in his prime had Joe flacko who was really good in his prime Mike McCarthy had the most prickly quarterback in my lifetime Aaron roders and a very very good not great quarterback and Dak Prescott and yet Harbaugh his record and
Mike McCarthy’s record we love Harbaugh there’s disdain for McCarthy same winning percentage one has great ownership one one has non-m medalling ownership one has had two quarterback Stars pro bowl level in their Prime I mean Joe Flaco Super Bowl MVP Lamar Jackson going to be a multiple MVP
And I’m not saying Aon wasn’t great but if you look at what McCarthy’s done we don’t like the way some of his big games end well do we like the way Lamar’s games end under Harbaugh not in the playoffs we don’t isn’t it funny how we view John Harbaugh
And how we view Mike McCarthy Harbaugh’s had the better ownership which I don’t know seems like about half of the entire ball game in this sport Harbaugh I’d argue if you look at the numbers Lamar Jackson provides for his football team they’re dead even with Aaron Rodgers Lamar Jackson’s worth
About 11 points a game that’s what Aaron was worth in his prime those are another galaxy numbers I don’t even know if Brady was worth 11 in New England I don’t think he was so my takeaway is but it’s that clock management it’s that play calling I’ve always pushed back on
Play calling very rarely do I think play calling decides gam sar’s getting beat up for play calling Texas doesn’t have the timeouts they can’t run the ball they’ve got to throw it up that’s just the way it works but it is interesting macarthy’s a little bit like
A great TV series and you never really like the season finale but it’s good and you keep coming back to it but I think we beat up on him because you know it goes back to pton Mannings last year in Denver he won a Super Bowl he was awful
In the regular season but you remember the Super Bowl remember that Golden State Cleveland NBA final where LeBron brings back the crown to Cleveland how emotional it was what a series it was awful until game seven it was six three games decided by 30 some point it was an
Awful series with a great ending so we it’s a great series pton Manny’s last year in Denver was awful with a great ending McCarthy has been a very good B+ A Min his coach he’s only just inches behind Andy Reed and winning percentage he’s ahead of Pete Carroll
He’s tied with John Harbaugh and we hold them all Penthouse level McCarthy we want evicted so is McCarthy’s rep you coach for the Cowboys and Packers massive Brands huge TV ratings we love Baltimore they don’t have the brand of the Packers of the Cowboys when you coach the Packers and the Cowboys Fox
Puts your games on the afternoon NBC puts them on Sunday night ESPN puts him on Monday night leagues conferences networks battled for cowboy Packer games and Mike’s the coach and they’ve lost a lot of close games so is Aaron just something to think about everybody we’re putting all these
Coaches that could get fired and jmx said it yesterday I believe if McCarthy loses let’s say he does let’s say he loses his second playoff game I can’t fire him I can’t fire him for that if John Harbaugh loses his second with the MVP quarterback and
Clearly the best roster in the AFC I can’t fire John Harbaugh why can I fire McCarthy if they both win a playoff game and lose the second it’s hard to win playoff games Baltimore loses the Buffalo Cowboys lose to the ners I can’t fire McCarthy you can’t fire Harbaugh
But there’s an absolute belief you should fire McCarthy if he loses a second playoff game got to win the first

Wemby is easily the ROY. Truly a generational talent
Do you guys agree with the thought that the more international players dominate the NBA, the less and less Americans will care about the league? That it's a reason NBA TV ratings are down.
One thing I like about these international guys is they stick to their city. Giannis, Embiid, Joker have done it already, Luka will do the same hopefully
You're lucky in the NBA to have our best Europeans players, and they dominate your league quietly 😂
Top of the NBA belongs to the foreigners for the foreseeable future. Zion and Ja were the best chance but they’re clowns wit no self control , and Tatum is just a level below the top 5
American Exceptionalism is and has always been a myth.
it is cyclical. 60s and 70s was undeniably a big mans game. big men were passers, scorers, rebounders, offense ran through them. Then the guards took over in the 80s and 90s, then the swing in between in the 2000s and and 2010s, and now we are back to the big man. I suspects in ten 10 years the guards will make a comeback. seems that the game heads towards where its weakest at any given point.
Wemby rookie highlights better then some players whole career
Usa players act like clowns big ego problem
Long and strong. Pause
When did Mj ever defend a center besides blocking their shots and stealing the ball, the question is can they stop Mj. Your shots at Mj is ridiculous, your blocked
Wilt Chamberlain was the most talented big man ever he and Bill Walton both did everything for their teams including facilitating. That said they weren't taking the ball up the court like Giannis, Jokic, and Wemby do. That's true.
Sengun is up next
Jokic is a combination of old school new school and the future of big men at least offensively speaking
Dude he only played 23 minutes
Those was the Plan all along, Make the game softer and less physical so the European players would feel comfortable coming over. We push the hell out of them and cast asside the American born players. Be careful tho. HBO did the same thing with boxing. Americans invest in Players they watch grow up and emotionally invest in.. NBA sucks. Product is awful. Grown ass men running up and down the court shooting 3's.. If I wanna see bad basketball I can go to the local YMCA..
2 months ago Colin was burying McCarthy on every show. I can’t keep up with his flip flopping.
They carry the ball all day
C.C. gd show i enjoy yr guests & yr logical takes, keep up the gd work.
Signed weekday viewer.
Wemby so much better than Chet. He will not win the ROTY because he’s not American . What a joke!
That Crippled Giraffe Lookin… Those legs aint gonna last
The only big man I see can match against Wemby, is Greek Freak. But in the future, Wemby by will be a force. I believed that if Wemby gains weight in the future, it will change his moves and can be slower and can be a disadvantage to him, unlike the Diesel Shaq, the more weight he gained the more dominant he became
I am not a Nuggets fan, but Jokic is the guy. Although Jamal Murray is very good, Jokic won a title without another all-star. He nearly averaged a triple-double for the entire playoffs at center. He impacts the game in a number of ways–he is about team and wins. The Nuggets will be a tough out again this post season as long as they are healthy.
Giannis is the best in the world
Wemby doesn't have sga to carry him like Chet does nor does he have the two pre seasons and summer league experience Chet does 😂
