I think the front office knows it's pretty bad. I think barring a first round series win, maybe a second round series where maybe even a close west finals. I think the front office is like, yeah, there's no salvaging this group. As it is. So that part I can't fully understand. To me, that's just, that's kind of a slap in the face to everybody just saying, you don't even play the rest of the way. So yeah, so now I'm with you, play doh. I mean, maybe you get in the playoffs and something. You never know. I mean, I always think back to. Remember that year when it looked like the bulls were just gonna roll Philly and then unfortunately, Derrick Rose got hurt and Philly won that series. No. The rondo was really good for the bulls. Oh, that's right. It was a good Celtics. And the bulls were cruising with rondo and then rondo got hurt yet, but yeah, and then they lost one in a row. Yeah, I always think of that. It was that first round. It was at one of those really, really good bulls teams. They were the number one overall seed and yeah, and then Derrick Rose went down in Philly ended up upsetting them and that kind of changed the whole tenor of that playoffs. But yeah, so I mean, you never know. Now here's the kind of statement I wanted to make is. I don't think they look like they care very much about what happens. And that's the thing for me. Is it watching that game last night? Other than a couple of guys, it didn't look like anybody really gave a crap for 90% of it. And you had some of the bench guys get in there and get it. They're playing for their NBA careers for some of these guys. Exactly. Yeah, they're kind of showing hey, I still have something. Let's get this on tape for free agency in a few months, but that's just my thought. As I looked at that. They were asked about that last night and the postgame presser and Stanley Johnson said we signed a contract to play with the Lakers.

Maybe they go on a little run here in the playoffs. And this all becomes a moving point later, but right now it doesn't look like it. Brandon knight gets a ten date with the Mavs on a hardship deal. Trey Burke and health and safety protocols, which is what opened that up. We do need to get to the next though, Julius Randle. Nearly acting like he might want to be out in New York, might want to trade. What are your thoughts on that? The Knicks potentially moving on from Randall this off season, does it feel like, I mean, he didn't have as good of a season obviously this season as last season, but it felt like he also got a lot of the blame to for what happened with the Knicks this season. So do they move on from Randall this summer?.

"That day when we're waiting for we'll analyze the play and match ups and then we'll get into that as we let that process play. Absolutely. All right, we've got an update on Robert Williams. Keith? Race. What's going on there? Yeah, so Robert William, when it's a meniscus tear. There's a lot of different ways these meniscus tears can go. And then repairs, there's a rehab option. There's repair option. And there's a removal option. The repair option is the one that generally takes you out for the longest period of time. It's usually about anywhere from an 8 to 12 week recovery on the short end. Sometimes even longer. Robert Williams did have to have surgery, the Celtics confirmed that the other day. So it was not going to be a rehab or play through its situation. But the surgery he had sounds like it was either the trimming or the removal, which should have him back on the court sometime within the four to 6 weeks. Now, woj reported the four to 6 week timeline timeline this morning. And then said, in his report, there's some optimism that it could be on the shorter end of that. Now, what leads me to believe he's getting that from a really reputable source is this Celtics actual injury update press release says underwent successful surgery. Williams the third is expected to be able to return an approximately four to 6 weeks. So that matches that. And the team's never going to say there's optimism he can return shorter. Because now I'm going to put the pressure on that player. The Lakers do like that. They always underestimate their age. But that's another story. But when you put a timeline instead of the return to play timeline, we'll be discussed as rehab or the wording that you all use in these persons. When you actually put four to 6 weeks, that tells me, yeah, there may be some thought that it could be closer to the four week mark. Now, let's start looking at calendars, right? We have a week and a half left in the regular season. We're about two and a half weeks from the playoffs starting. So if it's four weeks or even 5 weeks, you're talking into the first round, start of the second round that Robert Williams could be back on the floor. And that is absolutely huge for the Celtics. A team we think they have become over the last few months, they should be able to get through the first round. Even without Robert Williams. It's that second round and beyond when you're facing likely some one of the group of Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Miami, maybe Chicago, maybe Toronto. Like that's where you start, maybe Brooklyn. You start to think, all right, well, that's when we need Robert Williams as the matchups get tougher. So this is as good a possible news for Boston as you can get. Yeah. Absolutely. And fantastic news for NBA fans for basketball fans. I don't know, I mean, obviously I'm not obviously not a Celtic sky or anything like that, but I don't care whether Celtic, a clip or whatever. I want guys healthy on the floor and be able to see some high quality basketball. So this is fantastic news. Especially coming in, I'm so fired up for the playoffs. You want to see teams at their best, come play off time. So that's great news for Robert Williams. Unfortunately, some bad news for the Denver Nuggets, Michael Porter junior suffers a setback now. He's not shut down for the season..

"You know, even a year ago, he's really improved defensively. And then start looking at the rosters, it's not great. Yo, what he's playing with and did Denver considered Maurice but not the whole year in Porter junior is basically been out the whole year. So yeah, that's kind of where I'm leaning, but I don't feel super strong about that pick either. I mean, it's just that close. I mean, when you look at the my God, 26 points, 13.6 rebounds, 8 assists 1.4 steals. How is he getting more steals the block says as a big thing? I don't understand that, but he's sneaky on those like entry. He's really good at poking those away and he does a good job getting up to block lobs too. Just get in the deflection and get a finger on him, but yeah, it definitely is something else. I mean, 58% for the field 35% for three. Like, those are just ridiculous numbers, but then again, like Joel embiid has been tremendous too. I think the bottom and maybe we end up at this point pretty much every year. But there's a few guys where if any of them want it, you would say, okay, yeah, I can see that. That makes sense. I think if push comes to shove, I would lean jokic, but just when you see he's 6th in the conference, his team is 6th of the conference, typically you don't see a succeed produced the MVP. That's usually one of the top tier teams. But I think when you factor in everything else, I probably do lean yoga at the end of the day, although I do have that if I'm looking at my own bias, I don't appreciate the foul baiting stuff that we see from a couple of 76ers players that might be coloring me against. Against embiid in some way because he's been fantastic as well. You really can't go wrong I guess that's where I'm landing. You really can. I think the difference too is a lot of years we'd be all right, who are we picking from the suns? Right, they've been kind of rampaging through the league. They're 60 wanted 14. That's pretty absurd. I mean, once you start pushing up to the low to mid 60s and wins, that's something. And we'll see, I mean, they've got literally nothing to play for. The rest of the way. So maybe they start backing off and don't win 65 or more games. But we'll see, with that, but I think what we have to look at there is, I think, so if I had to pick a top 5 today, in some order, I'll give it what I think my order would be right now. Tatum Booker. Flip flop Tatum and Booker, if you want, I have no issue there. And I feel comfortable putting Tatum in that list because outside of the suns in the grizzlies and I'll get to the grizzlies in a second. No one has separated themselves. All these other teams records are basically the same. They're within a game or two of each other. The grizzlies, I'm going to take John Moran out of the mix. And I don't want to see it like overblown with the whole thing because they've won..

"Of those contenders in the west better. Yes the lakers. They added some really big sexy names. But when you look at the makeup of the west it all sort of elevated you know the sons are looking to revenge. What happened for them. But when i look at this jazz team. I actually like what they did they upgraded around the perimeter. A little bit does peripheral players. Maybe not the stars maybe not the biggest names but if they can bank on upgrading just a little bit like zach talked about there and also health that was such a factor especially going into the playoffs with them if they can stay healthy and then bank on those small upgrades. They made i. I kind of like what they did out there. No i think so too and dissects point. Keeping donovan mitchell. Happy a very very important of this process and the west feels very open. You've got a lot of teams including the sons who i think really did bolster themselves by locking down chris. Paul and we know that there are other big players are going to be up for contract soon. But they've got this season coming up in jail. Mcgee is a nice pickup for them as well. You've got the lakers. You've got the clippers. You've got the mavericks. Of course who want to make a commitment to luca about going further in the playoffs. It's going to be so much fun in the western conference and don't sleep on the different gets who have the mvp as well. So it's just. I think we're going to have a lot of rumbles a lot throughout the regular season until we get even to begin to get to the postseason. Dennis schreuder is among one of the top free agents available. Of course as you remember turned down a four year. Eighty four million dollar extension with the lakers. Midway through the season robert the lakers could work out a sign and trade deal with him.

We've seen that happen over and over again with other championship teams. Wherever when you think about ownership committing this much money to that big three what do you make of it. I think about when you had shocked and kobe. When commit to just two guys now. You've got to commit to three guys. This is amazing. And you and you look at it hard. And it's been one of the most durable guys lee katie coming back from an incredible injury. Kyri debt is the dimissed crazy piece for me and this whole scenario what we are going to be there for. You is going to be a guy who's going to be committed all about nba basketball. No curry is does things off the core and we applaud that. But as a teammate you wanna do. Are you going to be here for us. One hundred percent of the time and work on his winning champion. because that's what it's about commitment to excellence. You want to go out there and win championships. So if karekin commit that's that was outside piece that i'm worried about those other two. I'm not worried about them because they all they've been durable they're committed but kyri commit and his team comes together. That five hundred million is going to be worth. Oh five hundred forty million. The actual stop got worried about kyrie during the playoffs. His focus he is. He's proven himself. He's one of the biggest shots in playoff history. He has proven himself that when it comes playoff time he is there but you do have three guys in all three guys. Have something of an injury. History james harden. Frankly the most sturdy one of all of them he has been the nba's ironman several seasons in a row but even he had injury problems multiple times. So it is something we've talked about it on the west side of the country with aging and older rosters. And something you get into. I know but we're not.

"He's like wow that kid. Jackson he finally showed up. He played really good him and he's still not signed. This is a piece that you need to bring back. You got paul. George who who started become true playoff feta. He wants to be but you need guys. You need to be a chapter quality because you come to la and you start crying yourself. King over the lakers and talk about this and that you don't make any moves in the offseason to get better. You'd need to try to live up to that hype that you put on yourself. Look reggie had such a great postseason. Obviously in that friendship with paul george was a big part of it. I talked to both of them a lot. Just about they've been friends for a long time like a lot. Longer than i think people realize they. They've actually stayed at the same apartment for a summer. These guys are tight. So i think that that communication on the court we saw it come out in their play when you know someone that well and you just have that kind of trust and faith in them so i feel like he's gonna stay with the clippers because not only is a successful basketball situation for him. I just think personally. It's been a very big deal to him personally. So i don't know. Are they waiting for the piece of fall in before they can figure out the reggie peas. What do you think is going on with. The clippers are just a holding pattern. I mean we already talked about quieting. He's going back and reggie jackson. We'll come back to and this will all be sort of full of sound and fury signifying nothing to clippers. We'll be back next. Year is just sort of it depending on kawhi if he if he comes back late if he doesn't come back next year sort of a let's see we have in the guys who just got in the draft. Let's see what more terrence man can give us. He was a great story toward the end of last season. And then come back full throttle next year. Remember another guy that we didn't talk about it in terms of improving your team. Sergio baca and that injury was a big big deal for them and the spacing and rim protecting that they lost with him and so they gotta get him healthy too. But i think we also with surged. He's the type of guy is not young either. So that's gonna be a big difference in how you recovers from this energy as you get up in as that. Injury is slow. You down tremendously. But he is a very good locker room guy. He's a lot of energy and on a team where there are some more quiet leaders. I i think that him being more involved in the mix we'll have a benefit beyond just xs knows on the court as far as the. Pelicans are concerned though. I mean my question is they didn't extend lonzo last season. Last season was how is lonzo ball leaving and the pieces. You've got back even remotely equivalent especially considering the picks you gave up and now look. They've got a lot of picks right. That's the benefit that you holiday trade.

"They didn't get a star. It's hard to get stars. Might take a couple more years stars become available at the time but you know. They're circling and the stars are noticing. I want to say. I think walker is a star. You know he was a star before you got to boston. And then he had to take a back seat with injuries in tatum and brown. So this guy needs a refresher all. He needs a new role. Because if you look at this team that's what they were missing was missing the dynamic. Even though dead was doing his thing is hard for you to have that many injuries at his age. And do it for a eighty two gain so now with kim there. They're going to be exciting to watch because no it was going to. One thing hadn't been ready to play defense depth. What you won't defensive talent has slipped a little bit but you know get all the fundamentals right all the rotations right kemba. The ability to pull up threes is something. They didn't really have last year he can do that. That's to give mitchell robertson airlines lobs. I'm the east is tough. It's gonna be tough for the knicks to really get up to that four seat again but they're going to be good luck. I mean if you played good team defense a guy like ten cambe becomes less availability right and you can sort of make up around him robert. I was saying yesterday. I feel it kemba walker. Is it for them. Not just because of what he does on the basketball court. Not just because he's such a great locker room presence. Just everyone loves kemba walker around the league but the excitement that's going to be back in the garden. We saw a little bit of it in the second half last season and sorta going toward the playoffs but the idea of kemba walker native son at msg with all those great college performances. you had. That's remind players around the league to of when you were playing with the garden. Oh yes when you have star burying. Gardening is one of those things kemba walker is one of those players that new york knicks fans will gravitate to because he's that new york playground type of guy. He's won championships in college. He's done all these things that he can do. Now he's bringing it home to display at a time. He really needs it in his career because boston was a bus for him he injuries and not be able to do anything but thinking about. He put up great numbers in charlotte. This guy was an all-star he can get back to nixon doing a him and do his random. Pick and roll actually is gonna be nice year. You played there in the finals you played in.

Whatever you throw at him he is ready for it. He's a bona fide superstar. We know he always wanted to compare them to the legend kobe bryant but booker's he's right in his own is book off his own path and the way he can shoot the ball away he can control the offense and the thing that he's also in eastern is how to play defense also because we know what he can do offense. I think with him. He said you know what we have some moments in the playoffs where they tried to exploit me defense. This time to work on that. He's doing everything. He's working on his game. He's getting better so this guy right. Here is come probably. Mvp next season. I mean certainly an all star coaching staff to you can take advantage of if your team. Usa right now. Pop steve kerr.

"Growth takes him. Julius Randle. Most improved playoff. AM I P has been m I A in this series. He's done nothing. He's at 13 baskets in 10 turnovers. Didn't want less than 30%. He's been awful Alice his first trip in the playoffs, and some guys don't meet the moment some guys do. I mean, you saw Game one with Trey Young did in his first ever playoff game on the road. Making a basket at the very end. That's a sign of you've got a special player there for Atlanta, and I know you know the Knicks even the series, but the other night. I mean, that was a disaster. For Tom Thibodeau. The offense was just absolutely awful, and he's getting up and out of R. J. Barrett. And you know the one thing you know about this. Syriza's that the Knicks have to grind stuff out. They have toe, you know, overachieving a lot of ways because Atlanta has more talent, so right now, I'm not surprised by how the serious is gone. RG Barrett and Julius Randle. Especially Julius Randle have to bring it. I don't know if they will. They can't be trusted. So, like I said, the Knicks are gonna go as far as Derrick Rose takes him and I don't know how far you can take him. Maybe not even out of this round. Imagine thinking that like couple years ago if you were to say it's Derrick Rose and how far he could take the New York Knicks what we'd be saying it would be an impossibility that out. Derrick Rose, who went M M I A at one point when he was with the Knicks in the Phil Jackson or so it's been a great turn around for him. It's always great to see a player like that. Who can reach back from his past and we all know he's with M V P from the past, but hey, injuries caught up with him. He's reinvented himself. He looks great. But if you're pinning your hopes on him to even get you out of a first round against the team that's never been in the playoffs. You know what you're you're you're up against it because I don't know if it's gonna happen or not. We'll see what Atlanta does. I mean, from their perspective, it's been a great story under name. McMillan Anthony. What, after the firing of Floyd Pierce how the teams responded to him. We'll see what happens with Trey, I. I just You know, It's great to see you mentioned John Moran. It's great to see guys like Trey Young John Moran, Luca don, just these guys who are the next wave of big time superstars in the MBA. How they can take what they do in the playoffs. If they can take over if they can meet the moment because that's where you make your legacy. It's not how many All Star games it's made. You make it when you get your team to the playoffs. How do you perform? How do you separate yourself? And right now, guys like John Durant, Trey Young Luca Dodge it yet it looks like they can. Unfortunately, Chris Paul has not been able to do that very much in his career, some of the playoff woes for his team, not always his fault. And now, unfortunately, he gets injured. You talked about where he should have been in the M V P balloting, and now he's playing with one arm tied behind his back This serious, probably over, right, Mitch? Yeah, before you know the thing about Chris Paul and everybody wants to No, we talk about Where does he rank along? Time Among point guards. Listen, he's had four. I've counted four There might be more, but there's been four serious where he had major injuries. He was either knocked out where he was compromised. This is one of them. Of course, the one we all remember. His three years ago when he blew out his hamstring against against Golden State, and they had a great chance Houston when they were up three to against that juggernaut team with Durant and Steph Curry and Clay. And he got hurt, and that there went to Syria. They weren't Mike D'Antoni could probably keeps Mike D'Antoni on. Also, James Harden up and I'm thinking about the what ifs. They probably could have beaten Cleveland if they had advanced. But now, so that's when people want to rank where Chris Paul ranks all time when they talk about that. Here's the problem is that you have to factor in the fact that Chris Paul can't answer the bell or is compromised in these big spots. And you know, that's what separates also great players from other great players who time after time. Game after game doesn't get hurt in the playoffs and makes big game changing production production, where he impacts the game, And unfortunately for Chris Paul, who snaked it here, That's the only way you can explain it with all these injuries. That's the knock against him. When it comes to the all time ratings. He just doesn't stack up. He can't stay on the court. He can't stay healthy at times on. It's just terrible Now. I don't think Venus was going to beat them anyway, even with the home court because they had too many young guys like Devin Booker and DeAndre and Anthony, who are just learning. Playoff hopes the first time in and you're going against LeBron James and Anthony Davis. If those guys are healthy or close to healthy if they can play, and they can impact the games like they know they can especially LeBron theres. No way Phoenix is being them with LV, Chris Paul, but I think they would have you know it would be a closer Syria's Now it's just gonna be. This could be a route from here on out A couple quick ones should be great crowd in Boston today, but they can't expect a timeto have toe score 40 or 50 again right that Brook Brook Lynn's just gonna be too much, I think You would think a bounce back off performance where they gave up 50 the other problem for Boston. Look, Tatum. He's been phenomenal. He's not going to give you 50. You would think the Nets would figure out how to get the ball out of his hands. The other problem is Campbell Walker. Continued problem with that left knee, which is bugging him since January of 2020. He's questionable. We have to see what kind of explosion he has. What kind of lift etcetera etcetera, So no, I would expect the Nets to go on and win this series and Great second now round match up. A lot of people think that the eventual NBA champions from there, we'll see about that. LeBron still gonna have a say, but looks like it will be next Buck second round and I'm gonna make the argument that this Dallas Clippers game tonight, especially Don church will see his health for that game is questionable. I think this could be as big Game for this offseason as it gets because the Clippers fall fall down 31 all the Kawai stuff is gonna get re ignited. All the Clippers over reaction is gonna be reignited. Well, if they just win this game, I mean, they might be a really good shape to win this series and move on..

If If the Lakers or the Clippers We're doing with the jazz. We're doing. I would probably be like all this legit these guys we're gonna you know, they're gonna police pay for a title, if not outright, win it, but beating whoever comes out of the east, but I guess I just have this this Utah bias.

And I don't mean biases like I hate him or whatever. I just The jazz man, But that's that's unfair to them because they they've been bawling out for less what month or so. They're in a lot of ways. They remind me of the warriors. The old warriors because I mean like last night for second, for example, I should say They were Utah's plus 30 at the three point line. So I mean, I mean, it's like when you push 30 at the three point line, that kind of covers a lot of Ah, lot of the things that don't go your way, but it goes back to my point. It's impressive, but is it sustainable and what it really reminds? You ever didn't remind me of the Warriors? It reminds me of the Rockets. And at some point in time those shots stopped falling. And we saw that with rockets. And I don't think that Utah has come up with some magic potion to make sure that their shots you know when, when they're playing a stops working. Where do they do with their playing? Beat? Or you know what is their plan B. I think we've talked about this before. I don't know if they do have a plan B, so I get. I mean, I'll admit that that again. Like I said, I'm biased because the Jew taught him I really feeling it but We've seen this before, and we've seen it not be successful, and it's been the Rockets have been unsuccessful, which is the barrage of three pointers. The Warriors. It wasn't just threes. It was three's mid range and defense. I don't know you tell us about some defense, too, but I They're second in the league. Yeah, I mean, it's again. It's Zamora. Yes. Second. Yeah, good. It's my hang up more than anything, but I feel like my my skepticism is warranted because I hear you because it's not. It's not brand names. I mean, we're talking about a brand name team. I mean, Jordan. Clarkson was just to be like super impressed by Jordan Clarkson, but you know they shoot the basketball incredibly well, um, they passed the ball. Their ball movement is incredible. There's some highlights. From this earlier this week where they've had some sequences where I mean the ball move. It's hopping around. I mean, it's incredible and then you know there's 16 the league and strength of schedule, so it's not like they've played an easy schedule. Um, they're beating the good teams their fourth and net rating against teams in the top 10 in the league right now, so I mean, there's gotta think they got a lot of guys. They got go bear who's improved dramatically, and by the way, we should mention They beat Philly but indeed sat out. He had back spasms that that was gonna be more of a game. You know 1 34 1 23 Ben Simmons went off, but But there was no impede and beads and M v p candidate, So I mean, so you know, that tells you a good filly is right now. I mean, Phillies rolling just about my only question is when they see The Lakers and are the Clippers in a seven game Syriza in the West semi's or the West Finals. Is that shoot threes and make threes? Is that strategy going to be able Tomo win in a seven game series? That's that's my only question. And I guess that's going to be a question. My question. My question is who is Jonathan Mitchell? You know that we saw in the 2020. You know, playoff, so we're going to see him kind of We're going to see that guy. We're gonna see a guy who takes it, you know, takes over games, and if he can, If he can take over games, they've got their star. We know they've got their rim protector and Rudy. And they've got a you know, they was a team that knows each other Really? Well, there's also I don't know if there's I don't know the personalities there, but it seems like there's not a lot of egos in there. On their roster, and they moved the ball. They don't seem like they really care who gets who gets the credit. So I mean, Roy, So Neil's playing great fathers, All right, and you're just waiting to drop the name it was. It was a set up for you to drop your voice. O'Neill love on us. I suspect that you have to consider to their number two in the league and defensive efficiency s So it's not just about hitting threes. I mean, they're really good defensive team as well. So I think big because of that. You could have some games where you're just not shooting the ball quite as well because half their shots come from three. I mean, they shoot over 40 three's a game. What if they have a game where they don't shoot it all that well, they defend defensively. You can still stay in the game. When you play defense, like they play defense, because, like, then get out and guard but they have the guy behind him. But maybe they can get out. Defend a little bit closer to maybe they could otherwise, because they have a big, big damn eraser. Behind him. Which is why I think teams they're gonna you know, try to run offenses where You're setting high pick and rolls, including go bear. You're trying to get go bear away from the from the rim, And that was always Nellie's thing with playing me at five. Was pulled to center out. So it gives Mitch and Timmy and Chris more room to get to the world link, because, yeah, because the big guy can just stand there and I was, you know, it's capable of hitting 15 17 18 FT Jump shot If he didn't come out, and I just You know, I get 9 10 11 12 shots a game and I could just shoot those 50% of them, You know, worked out to where you did start pulling him out just a little bit. And then as soon as you did, then you know Timmy did his thing and make sure they all those games. So that's that's kind of the deal. Because if you're just gonna have a guy that's loitering around the bucket And go bears able toe loiter around the pool. Forget it. You're not getting to the rim. I mean the key. The key with the jazz to is when you beat them off the dribble. You gotta be willing to take that eight footer. Yeah, you have to. I mean, I know, team said it's not a great shot. You don't. But you're not getting all the way to the rim against that guy. I mean anything within 4 ft. He just blocks out the sun and either he doesn't block it. But you gotta put so much are gone it that it's a super tough shot. But if you pull up 89 10 ft, you get that shot over and take a normal shot. And he can't get to it. But I see so many teams that they it's like, you know, it's like going into the event horizon. Like once you go past 5 Ft. It's like CIA. Goodbye. Thank you. It's over..
