NBA TODAY | Chiney breakdowns Milwaukee Bucks’ fear factor in East draws hot take 4th straight win

Are a true Joy work with every every day let’s celebrate International women’s day in the best way we know how breaking down the game because you’re one of the best best basketball mins that I know we have a game that tips across the street in just about 7even hours we have the

Lakers we have the Milwaukee Bucks what are you watching tonight in this one look we have two of the most physically dominant forces in the NBA colliding tonight and I want to show you their evolution one it’s Giannis one underrated aspect of his game is his

Handle look at that taking on all five and knocks it down but this right here is why his EV ution is crazy and scary a similar match up going up LeBron James Yannis onto DMO but this time he hits the mid-range that’s development that skill that is Giannis evolving now on

The other end I mean what can LeBron James not do he’s shooting one of the best percentages of his career but just look how easy how effortless this is Giannis is pursuing you know LeBron has options he could either pass it to ad but he finishes and is typically around

Second and fast break points per game so he is a force when it comes down to the middle now who takes the crown right you just saw it from the those guys well the race is tight since LeBron James signed with the Lakers in 2018 Giannis has

Scored 33.4 points per game against the Lakers that is the most by any player against La in this time now however in that same span LeBron James has averaged 29.7 a game against the buck so the second most against Milwaukee so we will see tonight who takes the crown but

Today you know what it is we’re flaunting our tis as women okay heck yeah I love that this should be a fun one tonight on ESPN the Bucks they’re two and a half Point favorites LeBron’s over under for points 25.5 Giannis his point prop 31 and a half where’s Dame

Cuz he always has a big game against the Lakers oh yeah always in the entire State of California Daman has game so for more on this match up let’s welcome in the first woman ever to hold a fulltime play-by-play position not just in basketball in any major men’s professional sport our bucks broadcaster

Lisa Bingington thank you so much for stopping by oh my gosh this is like I don’t miss the show every day so to get this invite and then to get this invite with you guys it is it is honestly my honor thank you we are so excited to

Have you here because there were folks early on in the season including us on the show you know you were watching it who were a little bit skeptical of the Bucks and after bringing in Doc Rivers they started off a little bit Rocky they were three and seven to start they’ve

Been six- one since so what’s been the biggest turnaround first of all I’m glad you brought up the national narrative cuz I was I was frustrated it’s the first time I’ve been frustrated maybe watching this show and and totally honest right go for it I felt like there

Was too much attention it was premature the the criticism of doc I felt like was premature and everyone was focusing on the record in the first 10 games and I heard so much about the three and seven the three and seven and there wasn’t

Context to it so allow me if I can to provide a little bit of context in the first 10 games Chris Middleton missed six of those in the first 10 games Dame missed two of those in the first 10 games Brook Lopez missed three of those you’re dropping a head coach and Becky

You can can appreciate this from a coaching perspective you’re parachuting a a head coach middle of the season um into a five-game road trip the first time he’s with his team on the court is at a shootaround to take on the defending NBA champs uh it it’s nothing

That anyone would sign up for and so by the way they’re they’re playing the toughest schedule when that coaching change was made so I just feel like that that National narrative and that push well doc can’t get it done was way too premature we had always said wait until

Post Allstar break those possessions of progress are going to start materializing and then the winds are going to come and I think exactly it’s time in consistency with this team on the court not just film session not just on the road but that’s that’s made the major difference as him being able to

Implement his system also he has one of his guy one of his assistant coaches Dave AER the rest he he assumed Adrian Griffin’s coaching staff right heum most of the rest brought rex camian on for the defensive side Dave jger on the offensive side he’s brought in a couple

Other of the people and and and so they’ve mixed and matched which is a challenge in itself you know you have some Mike buen hoser assistance you have some Adrien Griffin assistance now you have some Doc Rivers assistance and now you got to find consistency absolutely

Um in the first 10 games like come on you need some time to to develop that you can’t just go like that well and see this is why we bring Lisa in for all of this context is boots on the ground reporting and and I agree with you I

Will we will own that premature and in the same Brad I think when you look at the teams recently that the Milwaukee Bucks have been beating that’s not the same caliber team that you’re going to be seeing necessarily in the playoffs and particularly if they’re going to

Make a run to the NBA finals which we all know as the Milwaukee Bucks goal here so this West Coast Swing they really have a chance to show that this is the version of Milwaukee it started with a loss in in Golden State in a tough game it just wasn’t their matchup

Now they have the Lakers so what are you watching most closely in this one well looking to correct some of the mistakes that they had on Wednesday against Golden State State and and some things that we haven’t seen them done post Allstar break so you know they six in

One post Allstar break and putting up some really good defensive numbers number one um they struggled in the paint they struggled defending the rim against Golden State and they struggled in transition and it was interesting to me to see the the comments that Doc Rivers made postgame he said this is

Going to surprise you guys our problem was not defense our problem was offense and it was the shots that we were taking um that were getting us out of of position defensively so so hence the 19 fast break points hence the the plus 50 points in the paint that um that Golden

State had put up so look for them to put an emphasis especially defending in the paint we know that the the Lakers are really good at that right top two in the league and in scoring in the paint as well as fast break point so I think that

Will be a point of emphasis tonight I’m looking forward to seeing this one Becky it should be fun I mean really a point of emphasis for both teams right the Lakers need to paint too yeah so it’s going to be the battle of the paint whoever defends the paint better I think

Wins this game but going back to to to your point about what their coach said the quality of shots that you take right and when you play a Golden State team you’re never really out of it and you’re NE they’re never really Out Of Reach because of how they play but you can’t

Lull it you can’t fall asleep and start playing their version of offense and I think you can get they can kind of get it make it up and down kind of more of a pickup game and and you want some discipline during those moments and that’s probably what their coach was

Referring to just so fast switch is so much I think this is a better match for the Milwaukee Bucks and we can learn a whole lot about both of these teams the Lakers and Milwaukee tonight you can catch Lisa on the broadcast tonight Lisa thank you so much for spending time my

Gosh like I said this is a thrill you are welcome back literally anytime I’ll take you up on that as well as tips on your wardrobe too by way right my stylist Leon really appreciates you right now all right it’s time now for setting the pick brought to you by ESPN

Before we talk oh so much dirt did you check in in our offseason workouts already yeah of Los Angeles in the standings it’s a little Coast to Coast we’re going to start with Kevin Durant and the Suns here at Chan look let me tell you this they are coming they are because Katie

Is starting to take over I know we’ve always said hey Devon Booker is the only person from that finals run team n Katie is being aggressive with his field goals his attempts his shots I feel like they want a statement with the Boston Celtics rolling into town and he’s one who knows

What it takes to win all right let’s check in on Luca donic in the maps playing the Heat halfway through the fourth year the Mavs down by two Luca donic everyone scrambling for the ball keep an eye on Luca here and the shot clock somehow beats the buzzer I don’t

Understand I guess that’s why they say it’s Luca magic because just when I saw that play I was like oh there’s no way he’s going to make it but then I reminded myself oh it’s LCA donic and I know the numbers just keep getting better and better for the Mavericks well

The only the another reason they say it’s Luca magic too is he’s the first player in NBA history with four straight 35 Point triple doubles all to sleep come on and that’s the heat they’ve been hot Points 11 rebounds 11 assists for Luca and then the Spurs and the Kings the

Kings on the second night of a back to back this is late in the third here de’arra Fox kicks it out oh all right one more time Malik monk throws it down I mean that guy six Man of the Year candidate right there but he did that to the Lakers the other

Day in the in that game when they turned it and the Kings really have recovered well from that loss they had earlier in the week the BS Spurs up three not anymore tied game once again thanks to Malik Monk and then San Antonio trying to get something done but there’s
