GET UP | Could LeBron James carry L.A. Lakers back to the West Finals? – Alan Hahn weighs in
The finish of the night Monica Allen get in here let me show you LeBron and the Lakers hosting the Wizards this is a night after LeBron James had led that Furious comeback against the Clippers now here he is in a tight game with the Wizards down one with a less than a
Minute left Jordan P who had 34 knocks that one down to give the Wizards a two-point lead then it’s Austin Reeves who ties it with the floater now final five seconds Wizards were you going for a bucket to try and win it P again he
Had 34 he needed 37 to win it in regulation we’re going to overtime and then here we go mcnut Feast your eyes on just vintage LeBron in the OT we got a turnover we got LeBron chasing watch this get it out of there talk to me let’s show it again man just the
Athleticism the care that he’s taken over his entire body showing up late in the game late in his career chase down block from Lebron stop me if you’ve heard that before then he knocks down a three that one toas a three point deficit then it’s Russell to LeBron to
Anthony Davis who had 40 points and 15 rebounds so the Lakers have the lead 15 seconds to go Wizards down by three former Laker Kyle Kusa needs this one to tie it it’s no good and the Lakers hang on to win it in overtime backto back consecutive night wild wins for LeBron
And Company at home he had 31 points by the way he’s now nine away from 40,000 for his career so you see where the Lakers sit I mean they’re at 9 the Warriors are at 10 but look how tightly packed everybody is I mean they’re like
One week away from being out of the play in if things going to go their way so I guess look we are we are living in a world where LeBron James came from the playin last year and carried his team to the Western Conference Finals you look
At this team that he has you look at the way they depend on him does he have that in him again this year yeah you you think he can right you think he can because anytime you say you anytime you bet against LeBron James you’re going to
Lose because he continu to prove that he is not something you can compare to anybody else in history not just the talent but also what he’s doing at the age of 39 and what we’re showing you here is in a back toback let’s not forget that winning situation chase down
Block the body’s not willing but the mind tells him to do it that three that’s a tough three late in the game with the minutes he’s playing and then the cut to the basket and a beautiful pass to ad as well just the little things that he’s doing that we take for
Granted so now the question is can he do this for 16 wins in the spring after a full season that’s going to take greeny 22 minutes in a second half of all these games every game and that’s the question what did we talk about last year we went
Through this with him we got to the Conference Finals and I and I likened it to the battery your phone battery that when it goes old it doesn’t charge fully anymore and it doesn’t hold the charge and that’s the question about LeBron that we the only thing you can ask him
The only human element that he has in his game is the age and can that battery charge every night to deliver what the Lakers need from him so if we stick with that analogy let’s not forget last year he had the minor injury and we discussed
Whether or not ad would be able to step up for this Lakers Squad and by default the battery was being infinitely recharged just having the opportunity to rest he miss like a month at the end of the season and then power into that postseason it doesn’t look like a knock
On would you never want to see a guy get injured but just what kind of toll does playing the paces of a regular season and then going through they would need two wins in the playin right now and then two a season well keep in mind too
They’re two games out of like the six spot that’s the point that’s true so if you can get out of that right and so so he’s probably going to have to empty the tank just to see if they can get a top six spot and so you’re right about that
Again it’s the mileage it’s that no one’s questioning LeBron’s ability to do it it’s more or less physically can he do it because they rely on him so much in the meantime mcnet always gets mad at me when I do this but I like to live in
This fantasy world where at some point LeBron and Steph are going to team up and so does Draymond Green so Draymond Green and Carmelo Anthony are on a podcast and they were talking about the trade that almost happened LeBron to the Warriors and Carmelo talking about whether or not LeBron and Steph would
Win the championship if they were together take a listen Steph and LeBron I think that team win a championship no problem easy easy I don’t think so crazy I don’t think it what I don’t think so because guess what the Bron is going to Golden State you got to build another
Team can’t go nowhere can’t goere can’t go nowhere talk to me mcnut Lebron and Steph first of all what what are you drinking what what what color is that it’s it’s beet juice it’s called a hangover helper I do not have a hangover at all but it’s beet juice um it looks
Delicious it’s very delicious uh yeah okay anyway the point of it is LeBron’s probably drinking a lot of that to be doing what he he’s heavy on the beat juice right now one way or another LeBron and Steph you’re telling me that team doesn’t win a championship melo’s
Crazy come on those two guys melo’s my guy I think we need I need I think we need a longer clip I think we need a longer clip because I think his point is what is going to be around those two come on y’all like yes Steph LeBron
Together amazing but what’s going to don’t look at me like that Han what’s going to be around those two that’s there’s a legit question there greedy I wanted this so badly you heard the rumors together this would be unbelievable The Expendables five like get these two together and watch them
Work that be the most Unstoppable pick and roll tandem that we have ever seen it and the knowledge that they have that their experience it would be such theater to have these two together we were robbed of it unforunately LeBron didn’t want to do it then let’s do this
But how do they win come on let’s do this let’s do it then right give me the give me the starting five with those two together and who who’s going in the deal that’s what I’m saying to you you tell me well is it Wiggins kuminga was it was
Clay going in that deal all people come right is it going to cost some of that stuff pie you hold on the pods Moody let’s say got to have somebody left but these two guys together would be special and all you’d have to do is just have capable players around them and you
Would have a team that would be very hard to beat I I got you but let hard to be being the key word I don’t think you can roll over on the other teams that be in the west LeBron sta you me and Han could wind up making
The right Chien knock down thre people by the way car my assistant coach and that when I was coaching the Celebrity Game and he was signing autographs the whole time when I needed a play run so I’m still holding a grudge all right as we continue March Madness Steph Curry 31
Points Warriors beat the Knicks let’s talk about this from both sides Monica we start with golden state they’ve been better the last month or so are we buying them as a team that could make a run Monica uh they have one seven Road games I think they’re like 12 out of 15
In terms of wins I love Steph he’s very pragmatic in interviews and afterwards he said they still got some work to do to make some movement in the standing so the answer is yes but it’s a lot to be seen still where are the warriors in all
Of this Allen as we look at that Murderers Row that is the Western Conference where do the Warriors we know where they literally stack up which is you know down there in that playin area but where do they Stack Up amongst legitimate contenders team you don’t
Want to face in the first round for sure because of their experience they have now all of a sudden depth Chris Paul and Klay Thompson coming off the bench is a much different look than a lot of other teams will have so that’s to their favor
To me what they lack which will keep them from being a team that gets deeper maybe even to a final four is their size they’re just not big enough of a team last night they did an amazing job rebounding the basketball against a great rebounding Knicks team that is yes
Underman but they still get after it so they can rebound when they do it as a team but sizewise I think is what’s holding them back and let’s talk about that number you see at the bottom right of your screen the Knicks three and eight in their last 11 bad sign bad
Stretch what are we looking at zolof is coming out all around New York nous anxiety is rising because right now this is that biggest concern is is was January the best we’ve seen of this Nick team will we ever get to see that team whole again and healthy again they are
Getting their guys back in the next couple of weeks but coming up greeny this is tough in the East because they’re facing all these teams now that have caught up to them in the standings and could push them down you’ve got Cleveland who’s killing everybody you’ve got Atlanta who’s hanging in there
You’ve got Orlando that has beaten the next three three times and then two games against Philadelphia before you go to a West Coast trip tough stretch coming up right now I’ve got clown up in in the locker do you need it mcnut or are you okay I’m a breathing exercise
Girl so we want breathe uh they’re going to be okay they’re going to be okay they got to get healthy that’s that you just cannot Escape that fact they have to get healthy there’s a ton of promise I don’t believe January is the best you’ve seen if they get healthy but everybody’s
Waiting and watching all right I opened the show this morning showing you what LeBron James did last night by candy this is Victor wanyama on Chet hren just look at that sh C down DW calm down DW oh are you not entertained I I I swear I was looking at
The Highlight on my phone I’m like conversation comes up I’m I’m chiming in get me in here it’s two aliens out here like one’s like 72 and then another one 75 playing like point guards like this is crazy is there anything in the world of basketball and by the way for those
Of you not paying attention that’s one of 47 block shots that W banama had in the month of February which is as many as the Bulls and nicks had and more than five other teams combined in that month he just turned 20 years old can we just
Run a reel of wmi doing things that just don’t look normal because they’re not we’ve never seen anything like this guy before your thoughts he is going to be a guy that the whole league is now going to be relying on to take the mantle from LeBron James and Steph Curry there’s no
Other player in the league that has all these things that you need to be a face of the league he’s got it all including by the way great personality but the compelling stuff on the floor the size I mean that’s EMB that’s that was Giannis by the way everybody that wasn’t just
Some bum he blocked Giannis going to the basket this guy’s got everything you need on the court he’s got the Charisma personality off the court y just see him with the crowd last night in San Antonio it was unbelievable when he grabbed the mic and started talking to him but
What’s missing Monica got to win got a win he’s got years old just got here I mean is he starting to live up to the hype is he living up to the hype I guess from a realistic standpoint Monica yes absolutely I me you look at the numbers
The historic five and five or five five five whatever game yeah are got five of everything what I think to me what is most intriguing I’ve had a chance to cover a couple of Spurs games in person and if you listen to Pop talk about him he’s just scratching the surface he’s
Still very much learning how to play NBA basket so man this is going to be something to see he would he’s 20 years old we’re at the combine right now right we’re looking at football players tell give give me the breakdown on this guy he young fell 20 years old 75 doing all
Of that yeah man I mean come on man like took logo three last night logo three Logo three yeah logo 3 we’ve never seen you’ve never seen I’m telling you you’ve never seen anything like it if you’re not watching you’re missing the V foreign First Blood an enemy has been
