GET UP | “The Kings still rule King” – Legler on Sabonis, Kings get the season sweep vs. AD, Lakers

Oh we got people oh hey let’s go all right LSU is in the house today Marcus sent a whole bunch of people he didn’t show up oh God but we’re delighted to have them here Nick is ready to go Kmart oh look at DW fresh barely even recognize him he’s

Like a newborn baby yeah it look young quite a large one okay we get to all the football but first my favorite thing in the world your wake up call this morning look at this fight the Lakers the king the domination the king’s all over the king

Oh dwood not going to be happy when he sees what damanta sabonis was doing to your guy Anthony Davis all night long look at him working face up cash come on man come on come on come on we got to do better than that Bon is a triple double with 19

Rebounds and then watch him here working on oh ad oh Dam oh Damen down he goes now you do have a good moment here can I just just Feast your eyes on Mr James there’s one and and here comes another one for you look at those the

Left hand LeBron had 18 Landing is rough The Landing is rough Austin Reeves actually had a big night for the Lakers he would score 28 and the Lakers would go on a run that would get them within some semblance of shouting distance but not nearly enough Kings sabonis Harrison

Barnes sabonis had his 23rd trip triple double that’s the most of anyone in the NBA this season and he liks the beam as the Kings sweep the season series from the Lakers and dwood I’m sorry to say it but the upper hand sabonis has is on

Anthony Davis he is now ad and 10 in his career against sabonis that is the worst regular season record for ad against any single player the Kings swept the Lakers this year sabonis averaged 18 points and 18 rebounds per game geez all right so there’s your basketball uh that that’s

Not called coaching most of them are not coaching they’re they’re they they have a piece of paper that piece of paper tells them when they’re gonna sub not the game itself that big problem in the game because they’re not watching the game and following it they their sheet

And they got their time slots or when they gonna Sub in and they have the little blueprint and they’re not paying attention to Austin just had five threes we gonna nah they they just they just all right uh sub you go you go it’s it’s pre-planned you pre playing a game and

They do that and then you look at it you look at it Gil it’s like now you don’t bring it back into like seven and a half minutes or the second quarter so you sitting for like the final five minutes the final four minutes of the first you

Get that you get the break and then you don’t bring it back to like five minutes five minutes are G in the second I’m like what the I mean let the let the man cook hey bro hey you might have to go the whole quarter I understand hey I

Don’t know who he’s I forget who he subbed in for him but I tooran Prince I don’t care or or maybe Spencer or maybe dwit he came in but and that’s kind of that’s what I hate about analytics because analytics just says okay if it’s this this and this but analytics doesn’t

Take into account momentum of the game y analytics doesn’t take those those factor in and so when you look at it and like you said okay I got a card it says okay I’m going to sub AAR Reeves at the dis Mark or I’m Ser this guy to

That minute Mark okay if you watching the game you see Man Austin got it going hell no hey bro hey yeah keep keep it going and then even if you miss shots even if you miss shots but they look like they’re good shots like you have to

Be inside of the game in real time right but most coaches are are time managers they’re not coaching the game and sometimes but A’s not at that point yet where he get to wave a sub off there’s been plenty of times where you got it going in and you get that hit on

Your shoulder man you better go get somebody else you better get somebody else hey subing for dude he ain’t hitting nothing all day that’s that’s happened plenty of times there’s been plenty of times where like this is where that happens at where a coach is drawing

A play up and you come to the to the what’s name huddle and see I just hit three shots we’re not drawing this play UPF erase this that’s where that that’s that comes in at because you’re drawing a play that has nothing to do with the rhythm of the

Game right now and you see sometimes you like you see sometimes like okay you start the fourth quarter and your starter start on the bench you like okay we out of this game and the and the uh uh uh the backup the second team gets it

Going no let him keep it going you all of a sudden okay start to go back a you see that came back from 25 down and now we down three you thought I put the started in let’s keep it let’s keep it going and uh uh uh

Torian PR should say nah coach hey leave him in there he cooking now he got it go now let’s not let’s not interrupt his Groove yeah but that’s players too players got to understand you know sometimes you got to sacrifice but that’s championship teams will do that

Championship teams if if if the the bench got it going and the coach like are y’all ready to go back in those players were like n they cooking wait for a timeout wait for dead ball wait for the rhythm is being broken right you

Know if they’re on a 12 run yeah the the guys on the bench is not going to break that right but that’s a team Collective thing too but that’s that’s that that next level of of basketball they just gotta that’s something will do that’s something Boston would be doing right

Now yeah I I just think the thing the Lakers this is not a good match up for the Lakers I mean there’s no way around it uh dearen Fox is cat quick he stays he lives in the lane he can get any shot that he wants any time that he wants so

If you trap him take the ball out of his hand obviously you have to bring two people to do that cuz you don’t have one by guy that’s on the ball that can make him give it up so he’s going to get to wherever he wants to get on the court so

Now when you send that help now somebody’s open okay now you try to run him off a spot now you left somebody else open now you get guys scrambling so even if they put a shot up because you’re scrambling the ball goes everywhere now they run gets the re they

Run get the rebound they track the rebound down on you so that’s that’s what’s going to be hard for the Lakers I don’t I don’t like I said I I don’t think they could they could beat the Nuggets I don’t care if they played a 15

Game series I don’t care what they how many games they went to they play one game they play 15 games I don’t believe they can beat the Nuggets especially as good as the Lakers are in in clutch time the last five minutes the game within five points the nuggets are

Better yeah you you know what I don’t see in this in this game right now is the defensive like torian Prince how I would play him is if we’re playing against de dearon fox or Murray when you come in the game you pick him up full

Court pick him up full court so what I’m going to do is pick him up full court let him use energy coming up the court right and then on the other hand put him in pick and rolls if he switches put give it to that guy let him pull let him

Run let him run his energy down so by the time the fourth quarter comes he has a little bit less energy than he usually has that’s what we used to do to Chris Paul right uh when I was in when I was at Memphis uh Tony Allen picks him up

Full court just keeps that’s all his job is to make him use a little bit energy and then Chris Paul is guarding Conley Connie gonna throw through three or four picking rolls first before he starts offense just gonna beat him up because they’re trying to wear him down for the

Last five minutes so by the time the last five minutes kick in Chris Pauls don’t have his legs that’s what you need to do with your defensive guy you can’t just have them back there sit on defense waiting for the man to come no use them

Them go up there hle something go in there and be a net that’s your job be in that get these dudes tired let him use his energy from Full Court pass it deny him this is chess right you’re trying to you’re trying to protect that fourth quarter so

That fourth quarter he don’t have full energy coming in the lane dancing having fun flickering on your big man like he wasn’t even there yeah well they got two uh what they get tomorrow they get Friday they got a game they got a Prime Time game against the

Warriors we’ll see whether or not Steph is going to be there uh Saturday night ABC Prime Time game I’m hoping steep Play because I’m actually going to that game and I’ve never seen steep play so I actually want to see I don’t have I don’t have night cap that night so I’ll

Get an opportunity to sit and enjoy the entirety of the game so I’m anxious to see the Lakers play The Warriors and I’m hoping Steph plays but then again it greatly increases our chance of winning if he doesn’t play but I want I want to

See it play I want to see I want to say my my my goal in life now is to see all this generation’s great players get to play uh so that’s my thing okay uh uh Gil in the big Laker news of the day D’Angelo Russell believes Dennis shuder

Was the reason he couldn’t establish a relationship with Darin ham his relationship with Darin is the reason I couldn’t have a relationship with Darin when I was struggling I would have been able to come up come uh for speech foreign for foree spee spe spee spee spee foree fore toye fore for to
