0:54
Speaker 4: There.
0:54
Speaker 3: It is good to be here. Coming up a little
0:56
Speaker 3: bit later this hour, we'll talk worst video game movies ever,
1:02
Speaker 3: and the's some pretty bad ones, but one of the
1:04
Speaker 3: actors actually came out and said, no, this one is
1:06
Speaker 3: the worst. I thought it was going to ruin my career.
1:08
Speaker 3: I'll also talk about the NBA actually does play defense now,
1:12
Speaker 3: plus Law Murray from the Athletic who join me to
1:14
Speaker 3: talk about tanking and all that sixty five game rules.
1:19
Speaker 3: Luka donc just getting suspended, the MVP race will be discussed.
1:24
Speaker 3: I will talk Dodgers already lapping the field in Major
1:27
Speaker 3: League Baseball with Bill Plunkett of the o C Register.
1:31
Speaker 3: He's kind of a big deal. So with my machine
1:34
Speaker 3: over here, I may have said something earlier that if
1:36
Speaker 3: it was turned into a drop, it would have been
1:38
Speaker 3: used against me over and over and over again. But
1:42
Speaker 3: normally we start things off with something we'd like to
1:45
Speaker 3: call first off. And I played this awesome SoundBite and
1:49
Speaker 3: there's like a Mario Kart, Let's go type thing going on,
1:52
Speaker 3: but I'll just get right into it. Uh, Duke Duke
1:56
Speaker 3: did it. They went full dookie, and I don't mean
1:59
Speaker 3: welcome to pair by green Day. Like the people seeing
2:02
Speaker 3: Paradise right now are Duke haters. They're getting off to
2:06
Speaker 3: this Duke loss, like bite my lip and close mys
2:10
Speaker 3: take me away to Paradise. If you don't know what
2:12
Speaker 3: that song is about, that's from longview, like right beforehand,
2:16
Speaker 3: the Blue Devils. They might be used to being in hell,
2:19
Speaker 3: but typically they rule it. That's not happening currently. The
2:23
Speaker 3: boozer is gonna be doing some boozing tonight, as all
2:25
Speaker 3: Duke fans are the hell's wrong with.
2:27
Speaker 5: You, Duke.
2:28
Speaker 3: Dicky V didn't beat Cancer's ass for this. He's in inspiration.
2:32
Speaker 3: Love him. Cormac Getty didn't do that front flip in
2:35
Speaker 3: the dunk contests and then have those twenty four inch
2:37
Speaker 3: pythons to distract you from the fact he couldn't shoot
2:39
Speaker 3: a jumper for Duke to lose like this. Shane Battier
2:43
Speaker 3: didn't get those grooves on his head for this kind
2:46
Speaker 3: of helped him line up the ball more I think
2:48
Speaker 3: on threes Elton Brand he didn't step aside as the
2:51
Speaker 3: GM of the sixers for Darryl Morey to come in
2:54
Speaker 3: and take it make it worse for this. Bobby Hurley
2:57
Speaker 3: didn't get into that car and drive for this cautionary tale.
3:02
Speaker 3: It's a good reminder for all of us. You think
3:04
Speaker 3: he's happy Bobby Hurley because his brother beat Duke. It's
3:07
Speaker 3: his brother winning, but also his school lost. Christian Latner,
3:12
Speaker 3: he didn't become another nineties white guy with a great
3:14
Speaker 3: college career that was a bust in the NBA for this. Okay,
3:18
Speaker 3: he did make one All Star team for the Atlanta Hawks.
3:22
Speaker 3: That actually did happen. JJ Reddick, he didn't write those
3:26
Speaker 3: raps and dye his hair jet black, kind of like
3:29
Speaker 3: a bizarro eminem for this. And I didn't pick them
3:33
Speaker 3: to win my bracket for this to happen. As soon
3:37
Speaker 3: as I walk in, Shane was like, how's your bracket?
3:42
Speaker 3: And I responded with, f you. That's how it is.
3:46
Speaker 3: My bracket's cooked. We use a certain sound from The
3:51
Speaker 3: Walking Dead for a long time that I don't think
3:55
Speaker 3: I can play right now, but we'll get to it
3:58
Speaker 3: a little bit later when your bracket explodes like alder
4:01
Speaker 3: On and Star Wars. That's what happened to mine. At
4:04
Speaker 3: least they made it to the lead eight. I didn't
4:07
Speaker 3: have him losing in like the second round or something.
4:09
Speaker 3: But this isn't about me. This is about Caden Boozer
4:13
Speaker 3: just needing to hold onto the ball and wait for
4:15
Speaker 3: Yukon to foul him up to with seconds remaining, or
4:19
Speaker 3: is it. Well, everyone else is blaming little Boozer, and
4:24
Speaker 3: the young man did take the blame himself postgame and
4:26
Speaker 3: said quote, I should have been strong with the basketball
4:29
Speaker 3: and it cost our team our season. It did, but
4:35
Speaker 3: maybe it wasn't on him. Well, I heard his coach,
4:39
Speaker 3: John Shire say postgame, you know It's not one play
4:42
Speaker 3: that lost us a nineteen point lead. It was everything
4:45
Speaker 3: leading up to that and mistakes along the way, which
4:49
Speaker 3: is kind of a way to cover for his player there.
4:52
Speaker 3: He also said, quote, you just have to secure it, right,
4:56
Speaker 3: We got it. They had to foul. I was ready
4:58
Speaker 3: for a time out. We just had to hold on.
5:00
Speaker 3: That's simple, right, That's what he said. But you know
5:04
Speaker 3: what the SYNCD up video looks like. During that play,
5:07
Speaker 3: John Shire told Kayden Boozer to make the pass. Watch
5:11
Speaker 3: the video. He was motioning to Kayden to throw it
5:15
Speaker 3: ahead because they had two blue devils in the front
5:17
Speaker 3: court without a Husky in sight. Now he can say, quote,
5:22
Speaker 3: we just gotta have to secure the basketball. All he wants.
5:26
Speaker 3: He was coaching his player to throw the ball ahead.
5:30
Speaker 3: So when you crush Kaden Boozer for the turnover leading
5:33
Speaker 3: to Raylan Mules three pointer, the logo three, you just
5:37
Speaker 3: know that's what his coach instructed him to do. They
5:41
Speaker 3: got greedy because they knew. They knew that if that
5:47
Speaker 3: pass goes over the two defenders trapping, if it goes
5:51
Speaker 3: over their heads, the game is definitely over. Well it
5:57
Speaker 3: was not, man, Yeah, it is just game now. I
6:02
Speaker 3: think Caden's thought process was he was trying to make
6:05
Speaker 3: that pass because that's what the coach wanted him to do,
6:08
Speaker 3: and then also because he didn't want to have to
6:10
Speaker 3: go to the free throw line and deal with all
6:13
Speaker 3: that pressure that would be there.
6:14
Speaker 5: Clutch.
6:15
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's got the clutch, gen he's
6:17
Speaker 3: a freshman. But you can keep the champagne on ice
6:22
Speaker 3: Blue Devil fans, because you haven't won a national championship
6:25
Speaker 3: for over ten years now, it's been since twenty fifteen. Now,
6:29
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're head coach John Shires in the
6:31
Speaker 3: same bucket as Hubert Davis and should be fired. You're out,
6:36
Speaker 3: but that blue pitchfork is definitely on his ass now.
6:41
Speaker 3: That loss, well, it's on coaching. If you look into
6:45
Speaker 3: the details, they lost this game in the possession battle.
6:49
Speaker 3: Listen to this for my friend law Murray, who's coming
6:51
Speaker 3: up next hour from the Athletic Basketball Expert knows it.
6:54
Speaker 3: All offensive rebounds in the game, Yukhon had thirteen, had
7:00
Speaker 3: ten different to three turnovers in the game. Yukon had five,
7:06
Speaker 3: Duke had thirteen. We're talking about plus eleven in the
7:11
Speaker 3: possession battle is what Yukon went in this game to
7:15
Speaker 3: eventually win by one point. They needed every extra possession
7:19
Speaker 3: they could get, and Duke gave it to him, including
7:22
Speaker 3: that last one to uh Mullins for that three ball,
7:25
Speaker 3: and that was the thing of beauty and he hadn't
7:28
Speaker 3: hit one all night.
7:31
Speaker 5: Souter.
7:31
Speaker 3: All right, here's Duke's last three tournament losses. Now, So
7:37
Speaker 3: they blew a nineteen point lead tonight, that was kind
7:40
Speaker 3: of rough. Before that, they made one field goal in
7:43
Speaker 3: the final ten minutes, led by fourteen with eight minutes left,
7:46
Speaker 3: by six with one minute left, and lost to Houston.
7:49
Speaker 3: Before that, they lost to an eleven seed NC State
7:54
Speaker 3: by twelve as a seven point favorite. Then in just
8:00
Speaker 3: their last four losses total, going back to the regular
8:04
Speaker 3: season as well, they've only lost four times over the
8:06
Speaker 3: last calendar year, Duke. Let's see, they led by fourteen
8:10
Speaker 3: against Houston. Last year in the Final four, they blew that.
8:14
Speaker 3: They led by seventeen against Texas Tech and loss. This
8:17
Speaker 3: year they led by thirteen against UNC and lost. And
8:21
Speaker 3: now they led by nineteen against Yukon in the Elite
8:25
Speaker 3: eight and lost. Are you seeing the pattern here? They
8:29
Speaker 3: only lost four games in a year and all of
8:32
Speaker 3: them were from blown leads. In the end, the.
8:36
Speaker 5: Kids are playing their tail of hundred counts.
8:38
Speaker 3: Are screwing it up. That's coaching. John Shire might want
8:42
Speaker 3: to go back to the Shire. This Lord of the
8:43
Speaker 3: Rings journey not for him. He aint getting at the
8:45
Speaker 3: top of Mount Doom One. Seeds were one hundred and
8:48
Speaker 3: thirty four and zero when leading by fifteen or more
8:53
Speaker 3: at the half in the history of the NCAA tournament
8:57
Speaker 3: until now, Duke were t twenty seven to zero as
9:01
Speaker 3: a program when leading by fifteen or more in the tournament.
9:05
Speaker 3: So as much as we joke about how this is
9:07
Speaker 3: a typical Duke choke job, make no mistake about it.
9:12
Speaker 3: This was their disaster piece. This was a master class
9:17
Speaker 3: in a collapse. This is the worst they've ever blown
9:20
Speaker 3: it by far in the history of the program. Now,
9:24
Speaker 3: when something like this happens, as Ben Maller would say,
9:27
Speaker 3: I mean, Adam Ashley, the story is in the losing
9:31
Speaker 3: locker room. But I'm gonna put it a little bit differently.
9:34
Speaker 3: I'm not going to the locker room for postgame sound.
9:37
Speaker 3: The story here to me is really from Duke's home
9:43
Speaker 3: broadcast booth. The call from the Dukie Homer's radio network
9:49
Speaker 3: that we have here of the eventual collapse in meltdown.
9:53
Speaker 4: Listen to this hit it in they do for Boozer,
9:56
Speaker 4: bobbled it back for sar and needs to get rid
9:58
Speaker 4: of it Douser Kaiden seven seconds. I had to throw
10:00
Speaker 4: it ahead deflected stolen by Connecticut. Two seconds. It's Mullin's
10:04
Speaker 4: up top for the win. Oh hit it with three
10:07
Speaker 4: tenths of a second ago. Calo Kai Smith ran off
10:09
Speaker 4: the bench. That should be a technical oh with three
10:14
Speaker 4: tenths of a second ago. Connecticut has the least seventy
10:16
Speaker 4: three to seventy two, as Connecticut got the.
10:23
Speaker 5: Three from Mullins. After the turnover from Caden.
10:27
Speaker 3: Boozer hit Larina. Can we just play that one more
10:31
Speaker 3: time and I'll cut it off eventually here, But I
10:33
Speaker 3: want people to focus in on one thing, he says,
10:35
Speaker 3: because this is the most on brand duke call of
10:38
Speaker 3: all time.
10:40
Speaker 4: And they do for Boozer, followed it back for Sarron
10:43
Speaker 4: needs to get rid of it. Does for Caden seven seconds,
10:46
Speaker 4: try to throw it ahead, deflected stolen by Connecticut.
10:49
Speaker 5: Two seconds. It's Mullin's up top for the win. Oh
10:51
Speaker 5: hit it with three tents of a second ago.
10:54
Speaker 4: Cala Kai Smith ran off the bench. That should be
10:58
Speaker 4: a technical.
11:00
Speaker 3: Alright, mel guy Smith ran off the bench. This is
11:04
Speaker 3: the most on brand duke moment ever. The immediate reflex
11:09
Speaker 3: there by the broadcasters to try to point out a
11:11
Speaker 3: Yukon player was on the court in Malachi Smith.
11:14
Speaker 4: Tla Kai Smith ran off the bench. That should be
11:18
Speaker 4: a technical.
11:19
Speaker 3: As if in March madness, as we're hitting the peak
11:22
Speaker 3: of it, in the eye of the storm of the madness,
11:25
Speaker 3: the officials should give that guy a technical for leaving
11:28
Speaker 3: the bench after one of the biggest shots in tournament
11:32
Speaker 3: history just went down. Are you kidding me? This isn't
11:35
Speaker 3: some letter of the law Commissioner Stern coming in and
11:38
Speaker 3: suspending Amari Stodameiron Boris diaw to screw over the Suns
11:41
Speaker 3: twenty years ago. This is pitiful. This is a whiny
11:46
Speaker 3: plea from a duke. Play by play.
11:48
Speaker 5: Guy, Cali Kai Smith ran off the bench.
11:51
Speaker 3: Look at the bitch the bench.
11:53
Speaker 5: Cali Kai Smith ran off the bench.
11:59
Speaker 3: That's the most duke thing ever. He wants some technicality
12:02
Speaker 3: to save them with a technical free throw, I guess
12:05
Speaker 3: to win it. This is the most sore loser cry
12:09
Speaker 3: for help. I've ever heard.
12:10
Speaker 5: Carl Kamith ran off the bench.
12:12
Speaker 3: That's not gonna save you. Take your loss with some dignity,
12:16
Speaker 3: have some shame, show some class in a way I
12:20
Speaker 3: won't because I am obviously going to point to this
12:23
Speaker 3: and play it over and over again until the end
12:25
Speaker 3: of time.
12:26
Speaker 4: Cayle Kamith ran off the bench. That should be a technical.
12:31
Speaker 3: I put it in the machine already tonight. I had
12:33
Speaker 3: to Duke. There is no escape. You don't get to
12:37
Speaker 3: cry about some stupid rule which had nothing to do
12:40
Speaker 3: with the turnover and the logo three that beats you.
12:44
Speaker 3: You can't weasel your way out and cheat death on
12:47
Speaker 3: a technicality. The tournament grim Reaper, it already got you now, Duke.
12:53
Speaker 3: In their last five NCAA tournaments, I mean, they've been brutal,
12:58
Speaker 3: but to try to blame it and try to get
13:01
Speaker 3: away with it. Because Malki Smith was celebrating and left.
13:04
Speaker 5: The bench, Carl Kaich Smith ran off the bench.
13:07
Speaker 3: No one's buying it. Chris Paul would be like known
13:11
Speaker 3: as the poster boy for the most ardent rules stickler,
13:15
Speaker 3: Like he knows the rules better than the officials and
13:17
Speaker 3: we'll talk about like a guy's jersey being untucked and
13:20
Speaker 3: somehow you get a technical out of it. He thinks
13:23
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous, This is way too far, like the
13:27
Speaker 3: biggest well actually guy in existence in history thinks you
13:30
Speaker 3: need to let this one go. Okay, Carl Kai Smith
13:32
Speaker 3: ran off the bench, fish out of water. You were
13:34
Speaker 3: still touching the side of the pool. Shut up. This
13:38
Speaker 3: guy saw his season coming to an end. He's in
13:41
Speaker 3: shock and he's trying to wiggle his way out of it. No, no, no, dookiees,
13:45
Speaker 3: you gotta take your medicine. You think the rules should
13:48
Speaker 3: be duke never loses, that's your problem here. Well, they do,
13:52
Speaker 3: and they lose in pretty bad and big spots and
13:57
Speaker 3: if it helps, it screwed me over too. My brackets busted.
14:01
Speaker 3: This is what we like to play on FNA right now.
14:04
Speaker 3: It's double A and for Ben Mallor when your bracket explodes,
14:07
Speaker 3: just look at the flowers memorable scene from Walking Dead.
14:13
Speaker 3: If you know, you know, But at least I'm not
14:17
Speaker 3: running and looking for a redo or a mulligan like.
14:21
Speaker 5: This guy k ran off the bench.
14:23
Speaker 3: I got one bracket now, granted, I donated mind to science.
14:27
Speaker 3: This year, I just picked all favorites and so I
14:30
Speaker 3: had the number one overall seed, the Dukies winning. Now
14:34
Speaker 3: I may give you a bracket update with all our
14:37
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio brackets and let you know if I'm
14:40
Speaker 3: still having a chance to beat Ben Maller. I don't
14:43
Speaker 3: know if he had Duke as well. If I'm going down,
14:45
Speaker 3: I'm taking everybody with me, including this idiot.
14:48
Speaker 4: Lath Ran off the bench. That should be a technical.
14:54
Speaker 3: Should be a technical. Get out of here with that.
14:57
Speaker 3: What garbage. Duke goes down, Duke fall. Congrats to Michigan.
15:02
Speaker 3: I mean they handle their business, But as Ben Miller
15:07
Speaker 3: likes to say, the story is in the loser's locker room.
15:10
Speaker 3: Coming up next, I want to talk about something in
15:13
Speaker 3: the NBA, A false narrative that the NBA and their
15:18
Speaker 3: players they don't play defense anymore. Well, a guy who
15:21
Speaker 3: could win the MVP this season, he's saying otherwise. I'm
15:25

16:08
Speaker 3: Adam Ashley al Lorrain has called me a tool, but
16:12
Speaker 3: I get it. A great song. Maynard James Keenan one
16:15
Speaker 3: of my favorite singers ever. I am not a worthless lier.
16:19
Speaker 3: Welcome back in I'm out of Moslin in for Ben Maller.
16:22
Speaker 3: Here on Fox Sports Radio, gonna be with you guys.
16:26
Speaker 3: Coming up top of next hour, we'll have La Murray
16:28
Speaker 3: on from the Athletic talking about the NBA and it's shortcomings,
16:33
Speaker 3: of which there are many, although I still love the game.
16:36
Speaker 3: Next segment, video Game News for You. Someone finally admitted
16:42
Speaker 3: to being in the worst video game movie of all time.
16:45
Speaker 3: And that's quite a feat because there's plenty of them,
16:48
Speaker 3: and I've seen a lot of them. But I do
16:51
Speaker 3: want to talk about the NBA and maybe turn something
16:55
Speaker 3: on its head for you that you haven't thought about before. See,
16:58
Speaker 3: for years we've been hearing the NBA those players they
17:01
Speaker 3: don't play defense anymore. It's mostly from Jordan fans attacking
17:06
Speaker 3: this era because uh, you know that one guy Len
17:11
Speaker 3: and there may be some truth to it. Guys are
17:15
Speaker 3: scoring more. Is that a that's not sexual? In the
17:21
Speaker 3: mid nineties and early two thousand's offense has averaged about
17:25
Speaker 3: ninety six points per game. Today they average one hundred
17:30
Speaker 3: and fifteen points per game. It's over nine chosen. There's
17:34
Speaker 3: not that many points. So is that because teams don't
17:37
Speaker 3: play defense anymore? Or hold up now, old man who
17:40
Speaker 3: yells a clouds? Could there be other factors involved here? Well?
17:46
Speaker 3: First of all, pace is up in the NBA, and
17:50
Speaker 3: if you know what that means, that means they're playing faster,
17:55
Speaker 3: a lot faster, Sonic three D fast, and that matters.
18:01
Speaker 3: Instead of teams having ninety possessions per game, they average
18:04
Speaker 3: about one hundred per game because of the higher up
18:07
Speaker 3: tempo style of basketball they are playing. If you're playing faster,
18:11
Speaker 3: you are invariably going to have more possessions to score
18:14
Speaker 3: more points. So naturally points are going to be up.
18:18
Speaker 3: In fact, in the eighties, you know showtime Lakers, run
18:22
Speaker 3: and gun teams average about one hundred and ten points
18:25
Speaker 3: per game. Why because they were playing at a pace
18:30
Speaker 3: of about one hundred and two possessions per game, even
18:32
Speaker 3: faster than today's. So why are today's team scoring one
18:35
Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen points per game? Is it because they
18:38
Speaker 3: just aren't playing any defense? Or could there be another
18:41
Speaker 3: factor that people are conveniently ignoring to protect their childhood.
18:46
Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, there is something called a
18:49
Speaker 3: three pointer now that is highly utilized and it's worth
18:53
Speaker 3: one more point than a two. A smart mother, that's right. See,
18:57
Speaker 3: in the eighties, the three pointer was more like a
18:59
Speaker 3: novelty act. It was a circus. They brought it in
19:02
Speaker 3: from the ABA. They averaged taking four three pointers per game.
19:09
Speaker 3: And they say they averaged only four to three pointers
19:14
Speaker 3: per game, and yet they were scoring one hundred and
19:16
Speaker 3: ten points per game. Well, that's actually kind of damning
19:19
Speaker 3: if you think about it. That means they actually probably
19:23
Speaker 3: weren't playing a ton of defense. If you average one
19:25
Speaker 3: hundred and ten points per game without even utilizing that
19:28
Speaker 3: three point line like houseway, you watch those old games
19:33
Speaker 3: and there's really only one bad boy Pistons team, more
19:36
Speaker 3: on them coming up disrupting the offensive, fast break free
19:40
Speaker 3: for all that was going on, it was just them
19:42
Speaker 3: doing it. Teams weren't playing a lot of great defense.
19:45
Speaker 3: The numbers kind of expose it. Today, instead of averaging
19:48
Speaker 3: four threes per game, they're averaging thirty seven threes per
19:52
Speaker 3: game and yet only scoring five more points than they
19:54
Speaker 3: averaged in the eighties. Huh, there's another factor, a symptom
19:58
Speaker 3: of what happens with more or three pointers out there.
20:02
Speaker 3: You know, guys having the ability to shoot it from
20:05
Speaker 3: anywhere in today's game, asked Duco.
20:11
Speaker 5: Kyle kick Ran off the bench.
20:13
Speaker 3: It means those defenses have to guard a lot more
20:17
Speaker 3: space on the court if guys are taking more threes.
20:20
Speaker 3: In the eighties and early nineties, teams were literally lining
20:23
Speaker 3: up inside the three point arc, and now they're setting
20:26
Speaker 3: up their offense like as soon as they cross half court,
20:29
Speaker 3: you're getting high ball screens. It ain't just Steph Curry
20:32
Speaker 3: every team has guys that will pull off from twenty
20:34
Speaker 3: eight feet. Now, if you go back and watch the
20:36
Speaker 3: last dance, there's a telling cliff where Phil Jackson, who
20:41
Speaker 3: I do love Phil Jackson, came back still no coaching me.
20:45
Speaker 3: He had this fun end of practice little ropes course
20:49
Speaker 3: type thing that we're doing to help them bond, where
20:51
Speaker 3: everybody took a twenty eight footer. Whoever hits it first
20:54
Speaker 3: is the big winner, I'll call gurry. It takes them
20:57
Speaker 3: quite a few tries to knock down that shot. With
21:00
Speaker 3: today's shooters, guys are knocking that down in a couple tries.
21:04
Speaker 3: Like the high degree of difficulty. Shot making has never
21:06
Speaker 3: been better in the NBA. The truth is it's much
21:09
Speaker 3: tougher to play defense in today's game. You have to
21:12
Speaker 3: guard more positions than ever. Bigs have to switch under
21:15
Speaker 3: guards more on the perimeter. There's much more movement in
21:19
Speaker 3: the half court. It's documented the scientists have been on
21:22
Speaker 3: top of this for a while. That's a real thing, yes, science.
21:27
Speaker 3: There's just more explosive movement even in the half court setting.
21:32
Speaker 3: Guys are covering a lot more ground, running like half
21:35
Speaker 3: a mile more per game over a season. It can
21:37
Speaker 3: add up to like two hundred more miles, Like that's
21:39
Speaker 3: why guys are getting hurt so much. Maybe, oh, this
21:43
Speaker 3: isn't nineties ball, dumping it down into the center and
21:45
Speaker 3: let Alonzo Morning back down Patrick ewing and just watching
21:51
Speaker 3: them do that over and over again. You have athletes
21:53
Speaker 3: running around everywhere. Now it leads to more injuries, But
21:57
Speaker 3: for my taste, it's a better game. Don't believe me
22:00
Speaker 3: about the defense not being the issue, but offense is
22:05
Speaker 3: actually just being much better. Now, well, I got two
22:09
Speaker 3: guys that will back me up about this. One of
22:12
Speaker 3: them one of my favorites ever. He may know him
22:14
Speaker 3: the Claw Kawhi Leonard and the Klaw. In fact, his
22:17
Speaker 3: bobblehead that came out earlier this week last week, Now,
22:23
Speaker 3: it did feature a claw machine, which was pretty cool.
22:26
Speaker 3: And then he was playing at pregame and saying, you know,
22:29
Speaker 3: in Kawhi tone, I have to win this game. It's
22:33
Speaker 3: my game. How do I not win? While playing the
22:36
Speaker 3: claw machine? That's about him. So here was Kawhi last
22:41
Speaker 3: year being asked about this subject. And I know the
22:44
Speaker 3: guy who asked the question, and I know he was
22:47
Speaker 3: trying to lead Kawhi to say, yeah, defenses just aren't
22:50
Speaker 3: as good as they used to be. Guys don't care
22:52
Speaker 3: about playing defense. And Kawhi is an authority US A
22:55
Speaker 3: two time defensive Player of the Year. Well here's that
22:57
Speaker 3: Q and A.
22:58
Speaker 6: Do you think run away from do you fencing Glenn
23:00
Speaker 6: Right's offense a little pit too much?
23:03
Speaker 5: Nah?
23:04
Speaker 7: Not really? I mean at times, you know, it might
23:07
Speaker 7: be teams or games, but I think the offense got
23:10
Speaker 7: got a lot better. It's a lot of pace, a
23:13
Speaker 7: lot of threes guys, are you know, just coming from
23:18
Speaker 7: me being the defensive playerity, Uh, it's just a lot
23:21
Speaker 7: of you know, six eight guys that could drip on
23:23
Speaker 7: shoot threes. Now do I get to the paint that
23:26
Speaker 7: is very athletic, So I think the skill level's gotten there.
23:31
Speaker 7: And then at at sometimes you know, you might have
23:35
Speaker 7: those nights where the team isn't as good or they're
23:38
Speaker 7: not as focused on garden and you see crazy games.
23:42
Speaker 7: But now y, everybody's trying to play for sure. It
23:46
Speaker 7: like I said the other day, it might be it
23:48
Speaker 7: might look easier watching, but if you go out there
23:52
Speaker 7: and play, you're not gonna get.
23:54
Speaker 3: No easy ducky right, we almost got a Kawhi Leonard
23:57
Speaker 3: laugh there he was best kind of chuckling under his breath.
24:01
Speaker 3: You ain't getting no easy bucket out there.
24:03
Speaker 5: Quote.
24:04
Speaker 3: I think the offense has just got a lot better.
24:06
Speaker 3: A lot of six to eight guys that can dribble
24:08
Speaker 3: and shoot threes now and get to the paint. Guys
24:11
Speaker 3: that are multiple can do a little bit of everything.
24:15
Speaker 3: That was spring of twenty twenty five. Now, this came
24:18
Speaker 3: out just the other day, and I think it's recently
24:21
Speaker 3: from Victor wemen Yama. I couldn't get the exact date
24:24
Speaker 3: on it. It could have been earlier. It doesn't matter. It
24:27
Speaker 3: doesn't undercut my point. Here it backs it. Here's Victor
24:30
Speaker 3: wemen Yama talking about the same subject matter. This is interesting.
24:34
Speaker 3: What was it like coming over to America and playing
24:37
Speaker 3: here in the National Basketball Association? Was it so much different? Victor?
24:41
Speaker 8: I guess before I got here. It's a lot of
24:45
Speaker 8: talk before I was in the Indiana, like you know,
24:49
Speaker 8: when you're in the NBA about like nobody's defense anymore,
24:53
Speaker 8: or like there's no defense in the NBA. I heard
24:55
Speaker 8: that a lot before coming here, but it's just not true,
24:57
Speaker 8: Like this is just that good. So it's and I
25:01
Speaker 8: was surprised by the dedication of like the hole stuff
25:06
Speaker 8: when I got here, because and I've heard that from
25:09
Speaker 8: other frenchises, franchises that.
25:10
Speaker 3: Win that Baz and we weren't winning a franchise.
25:14
Speaker 8: And is the same. I mean people are dedicated and
25:17
Speaker 8: people actually do guard in the India and do lots
25:19
Speaker 8: of scutting defense cutting reports.
25:23
Speaker 3: Now, Victor Woman Yama pretty smart guy in his third season.
25:26
Speaker 3: He looks like he might eventually go down as the goat.
25:32
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about the ghost standings coming up later
25:35
Speaker 3: in the show. But he's top five in MVP and
25:38
Speaker 3: he ain't five. Yeah, he just heard him again, franchises,
25:44
Speaker 3: Victor Woman Yama is speaking the truth. Kawhi Leonard is
25:47
Speaker 3: speaking the truth. You think Kawhi Leonard didn't go out
25:49
Speaker 3: there and lie. He can't help himself. He has no idea.
25:54
Speaker 3: The war's going on on NBA Twitter daily about this
25:58
Speaker 3: very subject. He's not on there. He doesn't care, he
26:01
Speaker 3: doesn't do social media. He just tells you what he
26:03
Speaker 3: thinks about it. There's way more guys that are multiple now.
26:07
Speaker 3: It's not six' one six three guards that can just
26:11
Speaker 3: handle the. Rock it's six to eight guys it's not
26:14
Speaker 3: just point guards and shooting guards that are taking three.
26:17
Speaker 3: Pointers it's. Centers the game has changed so much in
26:22
Speaker 3: the amount of ground you have to cover in order
26:24
Speaker 3: to compensate for how many of those guys are now
26:28
Speaker 3: snipers from. Distance it's just. Different it's no shade against
26:35
Speaker 3: past eras the game just evolves as things go. Along
26:39
Speaker 3: you may not like. It you may think there are
26:41
Speaker 3: too many three pointers taken. Now you may think it's
26:45
Speaker 3: too much of the same and the offenses look too.
26:49
Speaker 3: SIMILAR i would say an offense Like orlando's versus Ok
26:54
Speaker 3: ces versus denvers, like they're all very, different. Intricate, yes
26:58
Speaker 3: there's a lot of high pick and roll out there
27:00
Speaker 3: because it's very difficult to. Guard but, hey teams are
27:04
Speaker 3: averaging thirty seven three pointers a, game so it is
27:09
Speaker 3: a very big shift from what we were seeing in the,
27:11
Speaker 3: eighties where they were taking four to three pointers a.
27:14
Speaker 3: Game it just, is and it may not be for,
27:16
Speaker 3: everyone BUT i think they're doing it for a. Reason
27:20
Speaker 3: it's almost like the math has changed the. Game, oh
27:23
Speaker 3: you can.
27:24
Speaker 2: Count good for.
27:24
Speaker 3: You the smarter we got on that side with the
27:27
Speaker 3: analytics in realizing, That wait a, second If i'm only
27:32
Speaker 3: shooting thirty three percent from, three which is below league,
27:36
Speaker 3: average which is about thirty six. Percent, now thirty three
27:39
Speaker 3: percent from three is the equivalent of fifty percent from,
27:42
Speaker 3: two because the three is worth. More so even Though
27:44
Speaker 3: i'm shooting a lower percentage point per, possession it's still pretty.
27:48
Speaker 3: High so maybe we should lean into this a little bit.
27:51
Speaker 3: More and now you run into teams here and, there
27:54
Speaker 3: they get hot on a certain. Night believe, ME i
27:57
Speaker 3: just saw it the other. Night The Indiana pacers had
27:59
Speaker 3: sixteen going up against The. Clippers but because everybody can shoot,
28:03
Speaker 3: now if they all get hot and go eight for
28:07
Speaker 3: eleven in the first quarter from, three they can sink
28:12
Speaker 3: it pretty. Quickly, now The clippers came back down twenty
28:14
Speaker 3: four And kawhi hit a game. Winner but the point,
28:17
Speaker 3: is even bad teams have a bunch of guys who
28:20
Speaker 3: can shoot it, now and you catch them on the wrong,
28:23
Speaker 3: night and you can get cooked pretty quickly because they're
28:26
Speaker 3: taking him at high, volume and if they're in, rhythm
28:29
Speaker 3: there's not much you can. DO i don't think there's
28:32
Speaker 3: ever been a more skilled league than what we have right.
28:36
Speaker 3: Now Steph curry said it, Before, well everybody's talking about
28:39
Speaker 3: all the physicality in the nineties and the, eighties even
28:42
Speaker 3: though it's really not true of the eighties for the
28:44
Speaker 3: most part Outside. Detroit Steph curry, SAID i play in
28:48
Speaker 3: the skilled. Era this is the era that we're calling.
28:50
Speaker 3: This it's it's actually guys playing basketball and not just,
28:56
Speaker 3: having you, know a tenth guy on the bench that
28:58
Speaker 3: can go out there and take some. Out you're actually
29:02
Speaker 3: gonna have to win it by being better at the
29:04
Speaker 3: game of, basketball not necessarily playing linebacker while being out
29:09
Speaker 3: there on the basketball, court you. Know although Lou, dort you,
29:12
Speaker 3: know he gets away with some of that, too and
29:14
Speaker 3: there are some guys like, that and it's still, physical
29:17
Speaker 3: especially in the. Playoffs AND i think for a lot
29:20
Speaker 3: of people the problem is they watch during the regular,
29:22
Speaker 3: season they don't like the brand of, basketball and they
29:24
Speaker 3: think it's like that in the playoffs when the rest
29:26
Speaker 3: let them play so much more once it gets down
29:30
Speaker 3: to the. Tournament for, you now it's not About Tim
29:34
Speaker 3: donahey and scandals and bringing games or anything like. That
29:37
Speaker 3: they just let more. Go they let the players decide.
29:39
Speaker 3: It even more in the playoffs there's a higher degree of.
29:42
Speaker 3: PHYSICALITY i thought last year's playoffs was an all. Timer
29:45
Speaker 3: you watch the run By indiana and how many game
29:47
Speaker 3: winners we had and then going to seven AGAINST okc
