FIRST THINGS FIRST | No Giannis, No Problem! – Nick Wright on Lillard lead Bucks beat Clipps 113-106

Next gen stats on Yannis warming up before uh Buck Clippers no go some say wincing some would say I got to go with Nick on thank you what happened overated this what happed before the wild is this I hadn’t seen it wild is describing it

To me Giannis just goes up for a jumper and collapses I didn’t he ring in pain ring means you’re laying down collapse and you just can’t get up I mean you so overstated he didn’t to say win he said R he said rising in pain Maybe I’m Wrong

Dusty can you do some research just real quick driving Dy can you pull up the research on Achilles just put that in Wikipedia see what pops up okay is Achilles a big deal goad turto is it bigger than turto Fox ended up winning even Yiannis didn’t play because his Achilles hurts

It’s a big deal no one’s talking about it what do you mean it you guys say not big deal all right I’m going to go galaxy I I have a full screen Doc is it’s working now yeah go ahead um listen obviously the Bucks are ruined if jannis is seriously injured obviously

Everybody knows that let’s assume he’s not seriously injured and that he’s going to be okay I think this could be awesome for them Oh you mean him being out for him being out for a bit because the Boston’s the one seed they could they could be the Wizards for a month and

Still end up being the one seed they’re that far clear of the field they they need Dame to get his mojo back last night it was very damh Dame this year we knew the Bucks defense was going to get worse but Dame was going to lift their

Offense so much Dame this year has been good he hasn’t been anything he hasn’t been Dame and so I think Dame being getting back to what he was in Portland a bit except with bigger Stakes better teammates and then having Giannis come in right for a playoff push could be

Good for them so I think think he was out couple weeks yeah I mean I think that actually rest a little yeah yeah could be good for them there’s some logic there for sure but here’s the thing they still I don’t think are fully comfortable with each other all right

And and that obviously won’t get better if if he’s out for three weeks and then we’re about to start the playoffs also now they clearly don’t want to see Miami and who knows where Miami will end up as a seed but if they if if Giannis is out

And they go on a losing streak or you know bad stretch that could lower their seating and then it just makes your games tougher until you get to Boston in the championship of the conference if that’s where they go so um obviously Nick’s right without Giannis they’re

Done but doc look doc I gotta give him credit we know it’s all about the playoffs but the six game win streak the defense since doc has taken over has it’s not been a little bit better mediocre they were bad before he got there the 19th in the league they’ve

Been fourth since like January 29 Pat Bev tell it he’ll say he he talk I’m G give be well I’m G give Bev a little credit Bev is a gat I’m telling you from a guy to play low-level college basketball a guy like that just just always bothering you and just aggressive

And it it’s it’s bothersome wait was that who you were or times I was you were like Paul George and like the P Bev I wasn’t a star but um and so I think it’s about managing their front cork defense but Colin I think that I’m going to probably following Chris manx

Footsteps here and being the the latest guest to defend the Boston Celtics and say it’s still not good enough Boston’s that deep that talented that I think that they’ll still be the favorites so here’s my takeaway I I don’t dispute I think Boston has to win this

Year because and there if you go look at the history of teams and I don’t think Boston’s going to reel off six titles Denver’s too good maybe they could go back and forth with Denver but Denver’s players are all in their Prime Gordon Porter they’ve shown an ability to draft

Joic Murray they’re all in their Prime this is not an old team at the end of the runway like the Lakers where you just don’t know if ad can stay healthy so when I when I look at the Celtics I don’t think the buffalo bills will ever win as much as reeden Mahomes

So there’s going to be moments when they have an opportunity to win a title this year for Buffalo was it because Kansas City had their weakest receiving core and their defense was young and yet the chief still won so my takeaway is this year is important and let me lay it out

The Knicks are going to go get a second star a lot of talk that Trey young a perimeter score what the Lakers need would join the Lakers Denver’s not getting worse they’re going to get more confident with playoff wins um I think Dame and Giannis should overtime get

Better they could also they’re getting old add younger pieces embiid comes back so my takeaway is I don’t think the Celtics are good enough to go on a three out of fouryear title run as long as Denver’s Denver and joic is joic so they’re going to have to win when the

Opportunity presents itself this year embiid is hurt bucks fire their coach Warriors still too young in spots Lakers missing a piece Denver’s it where you go yeah Denver’s better is it fair to say okay there’s a little Buffalo Bills this is the year where the Knicks the Lakers the Warriors the

Bucks are kind of just not quite ready is that fair so philosophically I’m with you about Championship window it’s always open until it isn’t that can always change especially in today’s NBA but as far as the Celtics go you’ve seen different stages of their growth and struggles early on they didn’t get to

The finals because LeBron James was in Cleveland then you saw Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum just continued to learn how to flourish as young players as well as coexist last season um yeah as much as it’s not great that they were down 3 to Miami Miami is good and they’re trying

To figure out transition from first year head coach with Joe Missoula this year their offense is substantially better now that chrisos porzingis is there Jason Tatum’s more efficient jayen Brown so is he chrisos porzingis we talk about his injury history but he’s been a lot more durable since he’s been in

Washington and Drew holiday mitigates the defensive absence from Marcus Smart so they’re a substantially better team their regular season results have shown that I think that they can carry on that in the postseason now what does me this mean for the championship uh prospects I think that their Pathway to the NBA

Finals could be less bumpy than would be for the Nuggets but I’m with you that it’s not guaranteed there’s no prohibitive favorite the nuggets are the defending champs they’re in their Prime and the Clippers if they’re healthy and that’s always been a what if they could

Have a shot at it as well so um I’ve I’ve had Rachel Nicholls said this I’ve had somebody in the NBA and Rachel Nicholls tell me wait until you see wemi in person um his wonderful start with a weird early in Wizards Jazz Brew this is what I promis

You oh that’s nice like that accident I mean accident really sick though I don’t know is it an accident it’s a great play it’s an accident look at where his eyes are and as I’ve mentioned off the backboard passes more on this game later Believe It or Not wonderful Lakers

Thunder this is the play that d’angel Ron made him shoot nine points in 66 seconds last person to do that do you know no me neither Lake Show roll happens a lot not all three straight you should know uh checking on woles Blazers this is awful

Thank you you eliminate here we go we should have done a topic on this eliminate them from contenders exactly well he was Str Michel Jordan at least he was stretchy I mean he wasn’t just walking through theour he said the All-Star game he cannot take seriously

And then what six games later he doesn’t show up on iame I blame the trainer L he getting stret come on man problem come on yeah there’s a lot I mean wolves all right so you giv up you giving him to me look at this this is this while I’ll say it this

Is time has expired it’s just a cool sex in dunk it’s right as time is say it no the game’s over so here’s the other thing this proves how much the Wizards just don’t care no one had an issue with it right right right no you hadit a three-pointer against the Celtic teams

Are czy other teams are figh full on Dunk Contest which like good we’re going we’re heading I was waiting for you to say that used to win DK still could win dun hockey but remember we only put hockey in when it’s a different sport now it’s juggling that’s cool arov

Juggling assist for the goal trust me hold on we watch it was a cool play oh that was a nice Play There You Go Panthers win this one fortun don’t Trav there’s more well it’s LeBron you know what cut it short oh that’s look I will say

This I mean his pass has always been terrific but his no looks have been better lately I agre this year I mean he’s he’s doing some great again this is not factual it was some of the longest assists of his career okay yeah his passing they were just long they weren’t

Like little pocket passes
