Even ben wallace said the same thing like nobody really wants to fight in these things and reggie miller came right now and he said all our fight to fake all year. Maybe that's what it was the walls but maybe it was no right exactly. They're all fake anyway. And then jackson backed up saying nobody really wants to right. I love is great. And the jackson is a really good dude. I've worked with jackson over the years at some other stuff. I was when i even forget what the name of the show was. But he's just a good dude and you can see there. He was basically saying. I was protecting my teammates or test. Got into the scrawny went into the crowd. You think i'm going to stand by. I would do the same thing if you or i were in this from. Somebody started throwing something you jump in there to forget about. you're not thinking about the ramifications of it.

The funniest lines probably test. How are we going to get in trouble for this. But you don't want we laugh and it is funny. It shows you his mental state at the time.

"Some in the nineties but almost all of his stats came in the two thousands. He's a borderline hall of famer. You have somebody like fred taylor. Who's a personal favorite of mine underrated. Yeah he's a borderline hall of famer. And i think he had over twelve thousand rushing yards in his career. You don't have him on. He literally almost doubled up. The career rushing yards. Brian westbrook. I i said before the show. And i'll say it on air. Pf is purposely making these tweets. Were they get the top ones correct in the whole bottom. Half of the list is people that don't belong there because they know i'll get a reaction and they're literally click baiting and that pisses me off. Because they shouldn't be doing that they have a better reputation than that but they've suddenly started doing this. Well that's the frustrating thing that the whole point of pro football focus was supposed to be. Hey we're going to go beyond the eye test beyond the bias is beyond that type of thing. Get you better information to make you smarter fan. And yet what they're doing here is just blatantly intellectually dishonest. And i feel like there's two. Pf fs there's the the pf all the ratings and things like that. Which by the way. I still respect i still. I don't think they're the end. All be all but i think there are a really good tool to evaluate players and i love that but the social media. Pf is horrible. Because they just throw out tweets like this and it's just like if you know anything about the sport you know they're full of shit right one running back. I just had to look at the talks. Felt like i was forgetting some people that i would probably personally it. It's a fifty fifty. But somebody like james now You don't edgerrin. James has almost sixteen. Thousand career yards from scrimmage despite the injuries and he has almost one hundred touchdowns to he did a lot in half the career. Edward james was a good player. But you put frank gore with peyton manning railway marvin harrison. I think his numbers. I mean you know. Gore was on those forty nine or teams. It was nothing there was nothing else going on with those forty nine offenses except frank gore and he was still churning out thousand yard seasons. The problem with that argument for me is it opens a pandora's box okay. How many really good running backs out. There were lost on really bad teams and so they don't get to be in this argument only because they're on bad teams. You know what. I mean like me. Start making that argument and you open it up to well. This guy would have done this if he was on a better team. This guy would have done that. You know what i mean. When they finished third all time in rushing they could be part of that argument. That's where i draw the line. Like i get what you're saying. But it's not like gore didn't also produce on those bad teams he he. He's not stephen jackson who had a really good career. Who i think could have been way better. But he was just stuck on those awful rams teams gore's third all time in rushing is he third where my saying fourth. He's thirty sixteen thousand yards. He's a. He's about a little less than eight hundred yards ahead of barry sanders. I don't know why. I'm i've been saying fourth but yeah gore's guess i'm i'm an odd duck because i truly can fully eliminate the fans side of myself But of course one of my all time favorite niners like you know you can see me on video our listeners. Camp right over my shoulder. I have literally like four foot by three foot photo framed. And it's frank gore the biggest photo on my wall. It's frank gore strew like. I'm a big fan. But i'm able to eliminate the fan. Part of me wants to say well if he's on better teams or in to me when you start talking about all time greats. They all put a big numbers in their careers. So i start to value who was truly dominant who who had the higher peaks and that's why i don't have gone on my top. Ten gore's peak is not as high. You can argue. That's because he was on bad teams during his twenties. But i personally look at it and there are guys that had two thousand plus scrimmage yards multiple years in a row and did it three or four times in their career and gore is one year like is one year of fifteen hundred or more rushing yards. I have a hard time saying a guy that only top fifteen hundred yards once is top panel time now you. Hey frank gore that's fine. That's just the difference between the two of us. I like the all time. Best players in franchise history. And you. don't that's fine. That's just how we're different your emotional in your fan and you don't wanna piss off other fans. Oh yeah that's me. i'm the guy that doesn't that that couches his opinions to not make people mad as i've just got all sorts of hate because i said george kittle needs to catch more touchdowns all i can say is you are definitely more a fan and i think there's probably in my opinion. A little bit of homeowners khomeinism. Coming into your opinion here. How dare you. How dare you question my integrity on on this network. You are a huge jerk. All right that's going to do it for this edition of the show. Thanks for listening everybody. If you haven't done it already please. Follow the niners nation podcast network.

"For the becoming back from old to against dallas gets down thirteen with four minutes left in the game to come back and win and we're four straight. That's more important than the and by the way speaking of the lakers. I need to read the tweet that i tweeted immediately after the clippers won game seven yesterday. Because it pertains to your lakers could show this for those. Who said the clippers tank to avoid playing the lakers. Avoid playing that. What what golf tennis lawn bowling checkers enjoy your vacation. Liberic notice how you tweeted there at the unit tweet you tweet out to. I need to do to tweak that they were down three three two so you were the primary perpetrator of this nonsense. This garbage that you spilled all over this table through that the ticker the clippers. Actually tang to try to avoid the lakers. They didn't if they wanted the lakers. They wanted them first and the reason they did not play their stars down. The stretch was what happened. Yesterday was quite leonard healthy yesterday was he looked like his gas tank was still full at the end of the babies low. John i think they stuck right to u utah jazz. Maybe you tried to motivate the mavericks as in. They wanted you guys do you. Yeah they showed him in the first two games. Get donovan mitchell jersey. Yeah well you're going to need it because this series is going to be very different because there's no luca in this series. There's no porzingis in this series. There's no hardaway junior shooting threes from injury. You do realize utah. To shoot a three horseshoe. I got it i got it. But the best percentage three point shooting team is this one mitchell. He might not be luca but he played good enough. He's plenty of good land. We'll see about that because they're going to have to also deal with the deepest most talented team in the west utah. We're we're all the lakers. Now we're gonna way. I mean that's what happens when you have a short turnaround. Y'all got extra riff last year. Remember y'all got put out in the senate round got risk so you arrest the after month whereas fair. somebody's table. There's playoff fever and lake or do i know they have no cardboard cutouts. Real handle carbo could do very same crowd. Don't don't don't trae young. And the hawks chops drawn bid and the seventy sixers game. One atlanta jumped out to a forty two twenty seven first quarter lead. I was able to hold on for the one. Twenty eight to one twenty. Four victory trae finished with thirty five points. Tennessee's bead led the sixers with thirty nine so shannon much trouble. Are the seventy sixers told you this in big big trouble and we're talking about will have them beat us out. I stay well joel. Embiid is unhealthy. They're losing the series. I said even with a healthy series. This is going to be a long series. The hawks are good. I don't know though. Were they shot the shop. I told you the house. With beat the knicks skip. They got guys that can score. They can shoot the ball all of their gaskin. Shoot with the exception of capella. But what capella is does. All the things he rebounds. He fits goodhart screens at. He'll defend so he does what he does. But when you talk about trae young and bogdanovich and were to john colleagues in gallinari all those guys can shoot three ball again. What did they do very well yesterday. Skip shoot the three ball now. They're going to need this type of performance from joel embiid every single game. Because everybody's waiting for the hawks to cool off. I wouldn't hold my breath now. I'm not saying they're gonna make twenty three but they could make timely threes and every time early in the fourth quarter that the sixers would get close bugged down with hit one. Hit one trae young would hit. One game really shouldn't have been that close but it just goes to show you. The hawks get their very young team. They don't really have guide. That's ever been in this situation. This bogdan for a playoff. This is trey young. I playoff there are a lot of guy had been in this moment and so they didn't have the pressure situation very well. They won the game. But this is going to be a long series in actuality skip. I would be less surprised if the halts one then phone you beat the mid so you want some me on hawks you want to go all game long. We have we talked to. We've come in for like three days. We just we just make you go. Get your ged. I'll take the sixers for three cases right now. Yeah okay got it. Yeah really got ta cases though not gotten ten cases. You've got five on one game. Where i just flipped around because i was sick and tired of my clippers and i gave you bow to give me more. I'm only forty five now. We'll guess what would is utah. Theory i gave back utah. utah atlanta. We'll get me right back in the mix. Okay so what i saw. Yesterday was the sixers came out flat in the first quarter. They did not take trae young as seriously as you have to take trae young. I think he's about five eleven. I call him my stray. You call him is with the point. Is that in the second half. They finally got series with him. They just said well he's not going to beat us and he couldn't so what what happened. Trae young in the second half yesterday. He goes three of ten from the floor. He goes only of one from three. They wouldn't let him get three up right and he gets to the free throw line zero times in the second half and he's a minus thirteen in the second half for a grand total of ten points in the second half will torched him in the first half. He was the reason that it was a crazy halftime deficit. It was embarrassing. Halftime to give up that many. What was it seventy four points talk. Dc this is the second best. Defensive teams statistically ambassador interesting we did okay and in the second half they look like the second best defensive team in the fourth quarter. They deathly look like it. Because they won the fourth quarter. Forty one to twenty nine and if they could have just gotten your old friend danny green to make a couple defecating and the gab. It's good danny and it's bad danny. It's hot danny. And it's really cold danny and yesterday it was really cold y- for threes and missed all four of them and in the fourth quarter. He took threes. That were timely. They were game changers. They were roof. Rockers that.

"He'll come back to haunt the falcons. Eventually i believe. He's going to be spectacular this year. Do you. aj the other side and he's going to get a lot of single covering because like you said i think the thanksgiving he comes in with credibility and so now there's like okay. We're okay we we go double. Aj do you really want so you really want your second corner dealing with him. You want your third quarter dealing with julio even even even if he's not the nineteen hundred yard receiver. julio skip. the guy has three two hundred yard game. three hundred yard gators even though he had a bad year. Split this thinking yard for game. He's number one. His eighty five yards a game with a second laws of his career. Yep eighty five yards a game. That's thirteen hundred fourteen hundred yards. Giving in a bad fever. Were able win. Thirteen fourteen hundred yards. Yeah you can look it up. Way back on my twitter timeline. The moment that dmitrov traded up to get him in the draft. I said this is a franchise change because he was a difference maker at atlanta unlike any receive right ever seen before in atlanta. He was different hours at the draft. That nice guilt because that would be. I went to the hall of fame. And they had all the guys that go into. The hall of fame came to the draft. I didn't realize how big was until you standing next to him. And then you realize like who do two hundred thirty two thirty six six per figuring not to thirty ram four three four three five four three six freakish. Yes and. I thought it was a big deal that. Aj brown did a tiktok in which he just flat out down on his hands and knees come and join us and was calling him. Leo as julio leo which they have some relationship he's obviously got close relationship with derrick henry. Right so he'll be a good lock. There's going to be animosity or resentment. He'll blend right in. I think they're going to win the division even without him. It's not a very good. You think carson winston gonna to turn back to walk it in have the. He had to play out of his mind because tennessee is the question. I have for tennessee skill. They had the fourth worst pass defense football. So how how much better have they got decide. Bud dupree side jackrabbit. Let let a jury adoree jackson. They daily malcolm butler. Today and cloudy. Didn't give them anything. The kid from big beasley anything. So how much better are they going to be differently. I'm not worried about the office because they were good last year. That is just couldn't stop anybody. Unless of course tim t-boz team steel through division. You never know he's capable. Tim deleted play player him. T-boz team of that. He can still a roth despite this week. Still a rock. Being tibo steelers head of our sisters skip. Come on come on. While the titans tweeted out a picture of julio touchdown it is official. He has moved on. So that'll be fun to watch as it plays out for time pro bowl wide receiver chad johnson made his dachshund debut yesterday bryan maxwell in an exhibition fight. Johnson got down in the final round but was able to get back to his feet to finish the fight shannon. Please give chad johnson a letter grade with the bed last night. Saying you know what i think. Chad chad deserves a. But i'm gonna give. I'm gonna give him a b plus because i thought up until that he had acquitted himself very well up until that point and the one thing teaching botany. You don't go straight back and you keep your hands up. Even the referee the last the last word that he gives you keep it up at all singers alcohol if chad go straight back. He has his hands down because he's starting to get tired. And if anybody ever bother you know how hard it harder. It is to keep your hands up in that position. Three minutes of the people that may three three minutes of the long time only two men wearing a both out and one minute rest if not nearly at the throwing those punches but he got a good shot he got a good. He understood the fundamentals of boxing caserta. He's only been there for about six weeks. He was shooting a jab. He tried to land overhand and this guy was a bare knuckle spider. Even though he didn't have been headings exams but he was a fighter so it wasn't like championship fighting guys. Like they picked him up off the street he come. We got a couple of dollars for it. You come and get the ring chad johnson. No so i thought. Chad a bay and i thought he acquitted himself very well. I gave a b. Plus it entertaining. He got some good quality shots and had he not got knocked down. Who knows he might have won the fight. It's maybe but But i i gave him a b. plus performers. I love chad johnson. I still like to call him. Ocho saying i'm going to go a minus just for having the guts to try it. He said as soon as it was over to everybody watching you got to have the courage to fail in. Chad's got along bucket list and he keeps trying this and that and the other. He's tried bull riding soccer. I did in high school. I'm good that's left. My here's the fatal. He's tried a little bit of everything. The stars yep and He's created apps for phones. He's tried a lot of things. and i. i got to know chad. In two thousand nine when we started going back and forth sparring on twitter and one thing led to the next and early that seasoning before game number one. It was back on september. Eight th of two thousand nine. It was the day after labor day. We actually took. I take on the road for the first time are longtime fans might remember this so that i could go face to face head to head with chad. Ocho cinco in the visitor's locker room on their day off in that paul brown stadium. Cincinnati and marvin lewis stormed in during one of the commercials and was furious. That chad was doing this on the week before. They're open right and yet. It was chad because he's going to have the guts to take me on face to face. He does love the attention. But i went hard at him. And in in our abe locker that show he got some tears in his eyes fighting back. He defended himself very well. And and of course we got to know each other and we became friends. That i've been on tv with numerous times. And he's great to have on television but he's actually to me more of a lover than fi. He's not naturally. A fighter annoys that as off the field issues. Got it but the point is that. I don't think he has it in his heart to be a brawler doesn't come across that way so he worked hard at trying to want southpaw. He's right and his his jab with this. It was pretty good and he was actually doing some damage now just to keep this in perspective. He was fighting the immortal bryan maxwell who was owing three as a bare knuckle writer who was two and three as an enemy fighter and owen one as a professional boxer having lost to the immortal gaspard pierre at the doubletree near the airport in miami. That's where this guy had come from. And he allies. Chad johnson grew up in miami idolizing chen so again was his heart in it to try to put him down. Well yeah maybe become a database. Kill he look. He is a.

"Distance. All eight rounds with no knockdowns from either fighter. Paul is six inches taller and thirty five pounds heavier but the more experience mayweather was still able to land fifteen more punches and after the exhibition floyd said it just felt good to still move around and that logan paul was quote better than i thought he was well. Stephen jackson is still with us and lucky us. Because stephen you were at the fight How surprised were you. That floyd couldn't knock logan paul down or out at all. What was the atmosphere like. The atmosphere was crazy Shows really put on a beautiful event. I think everybody in that stadium was surprised. Not just floyd. Everybody was logo. Paul came to fight. He was prepared. He lied look great and and and he said something that that was not paying attention to veto his way class for a reason and it showed last night boykin black hurt and black and put him down and I give logan pa props going there to to standing there with blowing and to do what he did. Because you know like i said earlier standing somebody got hit me and make me by a fight off up just instinct. I can't prepare washington being and work committed by somebody on the street by somebody. Swingle me and then. I react but for him to go out even chad man to man shot to joe saint bill. He went out there. Man on the sorts says i am athlete and he is asking to be able to go out there and go round. So last night was a beautiful environment I floyd has done. I think you don't need to buy them more because it was it was it was a good money grabbing on but i don't think it's going to happen again no Because what what kinda made it so good because you know lay. Okay went ten rows. But he ended up numbered greg. Although that's not caught a discipline takata with an mba. He did have a backseat Boxing background in this situation. Here's a guy that puts that youtube video and some damn good youtube video but he's not a fighter professionally. One tiny allows you to another youtuber. Beatty in harris poll with arguably the greatest fighter. Here's the greatest bite of his generation. You can make a case. Either top by in the history of boxing. And i know he's older but to not be able to put any effective punches impactful punches on logan paul. That really you're right. There's a way class for reason and does what you take off to a guy like roy jones killed. He was a super middleweight. The ended up winning the heavyweight title. These guys you know guys that. Move up way clamp. They might start at one twelve and go on the web to one fifty four. And you like. How did they do that. But for guy. Floyd floyd with its shape. But he wasn't boxers shape of that you. I mean there's a difference between being shaped your shape which are not have basketball shape football shape for walking around looking good and close you. Take logan paul within shape to fight now although he was blows killed by the second round against and that's why we're surprising showed a lot of hearts. Yes again because you staff when you get tired. That's when guys get knocked out your hands drop. He had his hands down by side. It started breathing out of his mouth. So now he did not gonna mouthpiece is so. I was surprised. I'm shot but like you say to pick up a quick twenty thirty million dollars before letting go man letting let it go. You don't need this you this. So stephen speed the atmosphere. You were ringside. Last night. there were a lot of booze that you could hear. Over the telecast especially cascading at the end of the fight were they booing. Because floyd couldn't even knock him down. Is that what was going on where it was more boost from logan grabbing than anything a lot of people's boiling because he was granted but they didn't understand. This is the boxing badge. You wouldn't go into. You're going to do anything you can if you not get knocked out. And that's part of. Boxing grabbed his apart a boxing. If you watch. Boxing it's professional parts of professional boxing championship. That hold and grab to win by so jones mike tyson. Anti logan logan did what he had to do to be successful. If i understand that all those rounds without getting knocked out and anybody can say a lot of things but you but you wasn't in that ring. He did what he had to salute. Luton so look. I know you guys love you. Some floyd mayweather junior. I respect him. And because i respect him. So much is the greatest defensive fighter ever and one of the the great punch throwers. I've ever seen as far as accuracy goes. He was deadly accurate with his punching. Because of those two things. It hurt my eyes to watch him last night. Because even though they didn't quote unquote keeps score in the end it tarnished floyd's legacy in in my memory bank because i'm going to have to hang onto that i can't unsee what i saw from floyd last night. He looked like he was up in way. Used fight at one forty seven. He might come into this fight at one. Sixty ish somewhere in there. His face looked a little fuller maybe because he had the full beard but it just just looked slightly heavy compared to what he used to look like when he was right and he saw the interview prefight in which he said. Hey i'm retired a boxer but i haven't retard as an entertainer and he then went on and i'm going to pair phrase this part but he said i'm trying to figure out whether i should knock him out early or let it go for a while. So clearly he thought this was going to be a walk in the park and he thought it was going to be a joke. I thought it was going to be a joke. But i paid my forty nine. Fifty or winner was just to watch the circus howard. Because it entertains me if it's a joke and it was the opposite of joke because floyd try to rope a dope even the second round feel let him wear himself out and then in the third round floyd got stung a couple of times not hurt but stung and he got mad and he started throwing the kitchen sink at this kid and he was swinging and missing. He was flailing a lot and it shocked me. Because i've never seen floyd swing and miss as much as he did last night. And it's not like logan paul's a great defensive fighter but but he avoided. But did he ever get tagged. Nah not enough to hurt it now. It didn't so in the end. I kept waiting waiting for the few salahuddin. The just just the parade of punches and floyd. I thought he did his damnedest to knock him down and out and he could not and floyd said when it was over. Hey i'm not twenty one anymore. And he was better than i thought and i think floyd sort of admitted i shouldn't do this anymore. No right now. They bag he got the bag. Yeah well he got the bag. And i think that's the that's the thing when you fight and guys like a youtuber but if you find anybody with any type of experience they play a and he made it abundantly clear. I'm not trying to deal with the young. Lions the earth-based juniors. You don't say the blood crossville. Y- i'm not trying to see what paki i'll still is packing up here. He the bag also. But i'll give this up to up in a retirement to you might say you know. What would i give floyd this created. He got forty nine dollars and stuff. I knew i shouldn't have watched it. But i ended up watching it anyway. So that's pretty good to me. If.

"Best segments discussions. Skip shannon let's go. how about. This skips clippers. Won't be joining the lakers. Within early playoff exit. Thanks to twenty points from quiet. And twenty. Two from paul george. The clippers also shot an impressive twenty four for twenty four from the free throw line in the one twenty six to one eleven win over the mavericks to complete their series comeback. After being down three two they gotta done fox sports nba analysts. Stephen jackson is joining us now. Stephen i gotta ask about this one. How surprised were you. The clippers came back to win. Well one thing about me. I'm a guy that's not surprised by the things happening playoffs. Obviously beat the one seed in the first round so anything can happen. And it's about making adjustments. The clippers made the best adjustments after game. Five six or seven made a lot of judgments they were able to win the game That is not that talented they have a lucas great but everybody else no team has average. Kp is really been planned average. Even though he's a hundred dollar players a lot of parents making a hundred dollars in the league Stars that are not on the court they don't show and so luke was basically out there by himself the whole series and he is great but in order to win the series. You need more any detainee other players to step up. You can do regular season. You can't do that in the playoffs. A kudos and a product the title. He made some great adjustments. And this point. Cash from the clippers team really stepped up a game and sixty seven. So you gotta give props for stepping up and stepping up to the tries to get the job done thank you. You mentioned the address. Miss the judgment that they made that late. The ball game. Say we don't get the ball out of of hand. We gonna make his role players. We're gonna make hardaway junior gonna finished meal. We gotta make kluber. We're gonna make someone other than luka beatles. If for whatever reason rick carlisle seemed to be unwilling to do that in game six because he let kuwa- operate one one for the entirety of the fourth quarter. Even though he saw why had it going. Okay was i see a guy got it. Going law will get the ball at your hands out going to make these other guys last night. The other guy did do even though quiet going. You look at marcus morris. Ties steph curry for the most made three and a game you look at reggie jackson terrorist man had thirteen points in the first half links between with putting them all on the floor going to the real wt. Dominique wilkins are three days. Peeved that he comes in here. Three or five threes in. That's the difference in the ball game. You mentioned it. I know what luke gonna give me. He gave me thirty five and a half ten point three eight rebounds. I know that okay. What about the other guys yesterday. He beats me not of eighteen from everybody else. Not named luke. Smith one of eighteen from three. You're not beating this team. The clippers get back yesterday what they had been all year. They were the best three point shooting team. They proved that yesterday there. The best free throw percentage shooting team in history so they proved in his thank. You know what. I'm saying when you leave something. Can i call on it. Were they needed those three justin. They needed that free. Throw percentage and they were able to get it so for me. It was all about the role. Because i know kuwa- kawai sensational in this with bible. One games skip the quarter. He missed a couple of shots but he will sensational gave. You won't find bury their mini playoff performances. Better than kawass game six lucas toll for total winning but luca supporting cast didn't give him the counter. Backups thing that wild. They're not at all. okay back to my man. Stephen jackson makes a very profound point. Stephen is saying he wasn't that impressed. Because the clippers finally did what they should have done to start with. Well that was my point from the start. I was outta my mind sitting in this seat. Because they blew game one and they blew game two at all. The clippers are the best team in the west. I told you this all year jeff. Van gundy kept saying the most talented team in the west. They're the deepest team in pro basketball to me. They're deeper than even the nets are but they didn't play that way in games one and two an early in game three on that fateful friday night they fall behind thirty to eleven before a mad house sellout crowd in dallas as the mavericks are making every three they look at. They made thirty five of seventy. Three's in the first two games at staples and and then they go home and make twenty in game three. No team in the history of this league has ever lost a home playoff game making twenty three. But they did because the clippers finally said. That's enough watch this. And it started with kawhi and pandemic p went along for the ride and he had some stretches but he did a lot whole lot of good stuff because when it comes to make him free throws assisting the basketball rebounding the basketball. He does a lot of dirty work for that team. That that is irreplaceable. Less talented you can rip and slashing all you want you can ridicule him but even yesterday when he went one for nine in the second half that you look at the overall numbers. He made all ten of his free throws and had ten rebounds. I'm sorry tennessee says right. That's that's gold in a game seven so in the end. These clippers showed me some true grit. I didn't think they had. They actually showed me some heart. Some guts and some stamina. I did not think they had because the world ridicules them as the ugly step children living down in the basement a staple center yet yesterday at staples. I thought they turn into the lakers. Because everything that they did. At the highest level during the regular season came to fruition. Yesterday there are the best three-point shooting team and they outshot dallas twenty two from three. That'll work and they're the best free throw shooting team in the history of the league and look what they did. They were plus thirteen at the frequent plus forty three points from three and free throws. That's who they are and what they did yesterday so it wore me out. I'm still exhaust this morning from there. The most frustrating team to watch that. I've ever tried to figure out but in the end they look like a team that can win it all to me. Let me identity. you know. it's never too late to happenings. Dot declared shannon. It's it's never too late. The playoffs anything can happen. When you start to clinch the places the perfect time. I think they're starting to find the identity. I got started buying their rose when they're going get shots but this is the perfect time with todd. Been a been a a coach and a champion. He understands the justice. You have to make round-by-round dip level basketball each round of nasty ball and and it doesn't matter how how how tough the first round was when you get out of it. It's about round to knowing whereabout the first round stay six six eight six seven and a half. Okay so you think seven you gotta find nine guy playing behind you. Why the hell you shooting three. What when you get on the block. Christopher zinc is seven three inches tall. Why but to paul george. Marcus morris plays behind him but he wants to hover around the three point land toward tall but down on the block. Turn around his shoot over the top of them. Why was that so hard for you. Nikki unicorn unicor. there's nothing unique about christoper's acres. He's seven point three any plays like he plays like a two guard. That six that wants to shoot three pointers thirteen. Thousand points is not a score to some people but to me. It was like and i wouldn't. I wouldn't have this assess. Obviously i wouldn't have in my career. Steve's live when they told me my third career my third year my career. You can shoot threes. you're gonna have to get on that block to be success but have a successful career. And he told me that. I i was to guard so i was bigger than a lotta to guard. Six shannon. right. Oh he said he's seven foot. You got exposed guys who you've gotta take a better. Your size and kp is definitely not doing that. These are big guys play small. That's the worst that you can have. A guy is tall that place mall. because he's seven put three. They got they plan behind him nichols between is playing behind it. They gotta be fixing so he's giving up with thick theban inches and he liked the shooting jacket up. Threes can come down.

"Right and if he had been more aggressive from the jump. I think they coulda chipped away. Because it's still the phoenix suns and there's only one player on that team jae crowder. I'll give you that but two guys was some plouffe's. Cpa three and jay crowder. Lebron james in total has played almost forty more laugh games than the entire phoenix roster including chris and jae crowder. Well that's the guy wanted to see and again ankle ankle ankle. I don't know the ankle wasn't bothering the third quarter. That looked like lebron. You can attest this you've been on the court and we saw this. You remember the detroit game. You saw high. It took the life out of out of out of our portland. Yeah so imagine what booker. There's nothing i mean. He shouldn't three step back three. And eight hundred face corner. Threes bomb three getting whatever. He won't remember. They were number one in defensive efficiency. The los angeles lakers were. Where was that team. They don't know that team had showed up but they couldn't score. Skit remember four points scored fourteen points and a quarter habit team right now. Thirty two and a half because data's and when bears have but this disappeared things but last night we gotta get babies. Credit yet is great in a court. They did a great job of string court and the latest had nobody that can make plays the yet at did a great job of when he was missing shots went to the blog to post up. Nobody can beat him the ball absolutely work on that in another thing so we gotta stop expecting kobe and join the come out of. Lebron led the broadband. The we we have the same cope we would keep inspecting kobe. Lebron come colby enjoy lebron. We're not gonna see that that's not who on. That's not who we if we keep expecting that and that's why people getting let down the broadest libron. He's great and he is. He is he is but we keep expecting him to turn into in. Kobe's joined the kobe sir time. That's not what that's not. That's not gonna okay. But but i have friends that the upgraded eight times in his younger days. Forty eight at detroit in. What was it game five in. We're all the way back to two thousand seven three forty five and gained six the potential out game at boston and twenty twelve. I know it's a long time ago. But he you say don't expect joe. I saw that night. He twenty six twenty seven. Okay i got it so let me go back to stephen. Then what percent of lebron is left like if you go. Lebron his greatest. What percent is he right. Now of the greatest of lebron is eighty percent. Seventy five fifty. I will. I will say i will say this year. Where right now. He's by eighty percent. I mean there's a lot of basketball been played in the last twelve fourteen months man. There's a lot of basketball played by these guys. You know what i mean and one thing by it. When david robinson went down three when our other star went down in l. three when tim duncan needed david robinson and we still wanna championship maliki. Rose stepped up. Yeah but one thing about it kept me in the right frame of mind all year because he knows the possibility that they will go down because of his age. You know a d. is injury prone so you gotta keep us backed up happy and i would think is coming back to haunt them. This is congressman way treated months from the way they have the things you know. What i'm saying is are coming back to I play you're talking about how they be deposed. Lebron james is on the block now. He's telling he's telling me got okay. Throw it to the top of the key. You tell cousteau. Get the ball. The top of the key was the guy to go navy. So was he seen it. Give it to my head. I'm doing. I've dealt with when goldman even look. I don't exactly. He was talking about that. They don't work on that. But the pay the brom marco. His jumper wasn't bothered. He went to the block and that's when he was going to make it work but they couldn't get into. I say he was. He was frustrated. More than i ever seen him. But you've got to give credit to phoenix. We're not giving them enough credit. They went in there won that game. They came to that game and play with sense of urgency like down. I mean like like the clippers play with paints came into play with says versus the series. Because they know it feels the possibility that day. Get another day arrest and come back. They will lose series so they did right. They have been to the yup. If you get an opportunity to end the series ended well we got game. Seven is going to be building. You never know strange. Things happened in game. Seven either twists ankle here or tweet. After you're gordon there in now you're in the situation. That the lakers in all beth. Aw i got one last question for stephen jackson. Did you see from the tip off a sense of urgency for lebron james. I'm not going to see him. I like the honestly s this version from nobody on eighteen. Now one person and and and you know what the. Brian is great but he don't win games without his team. I'm sorry he just don't he's he's always had another players had helped. The team did not show up. I mean what is sure to do again. I love shrewd as a player. But you asked for hundred million you gotta show up in these games. The choose like hey to people hate the truth. And that's just the true margaret. Do you wanna start margaret fall. Well he's bargain. Okay what they give you a seventeen minutes agency. Reports at lynch draw draw double digit rebounds and the same amount of time. What how did they start. What did they do at the start of the gay. What feelings do kevin hart picket role wack. Because my all can't fight as be What did i tell you all. Maybe vogel was listening to me. Put the big penguin on ice. even play. that's okay. We'll big thing. We'll talk that between we'll come back. Okay i love yoga. All get solved assault assault zero poets margaret's all had the same amount of points but my plus model beverly hills gang who marcal sat out the sound supporting cast man.

"He will get fifteen assists you watch. What did he get that it's over. You beat him if he gets them kind of now. I bet you k- without but i don't believe i don't believe so. In other words you believe hardaway junior. Cleber gonna make shot repeatedly last friday. Absolutely except this time. They'll be no mosque. That will be no fight. Left in the clippers because the clippers know that they stunk it up to the point that they've given it up and remember. Psychologically they're thinking okay. At least we did enough to be respectable because they did wins games. Three and four and it was impressive. You were highly impressed that let me the way. But i believe kuwa- okay. They've done enough that it won't get blown up after the seat. Get if they get blown up tonight. It won't get blown up. You'll know they've already done enough to show you. Well give us one more year together and we'll be a little better. Thinks i don't know exactly. You know he. He's a free agent. He's been very noncommittal. Everybody say well. I believe he signed back back but the one thing. The knicks need a superstar. Don't they yes. The what the one thing about wasco is that really only two people really know what he's actually gonna do within her talking to. I haven't got some brewer. He got brewing guilt. He got some brewing. Well i got five cases bruins tonight. Okay gosh she's always been. It's hard to say but it was not a hollywood ending lebron and company last night. Anthony davis tried to play through a groin strain but only lasted five and a half minutes as the lakers fell. Sons one. Thirteen to one hundred. La trailed by twenty two after the first quarter and by as many as twenty nine in the game. It is the first time in the bronze career that he's been eliminated from the playoffs in the first round. King finished twenty nine points on eleven of twenty six shooting that included three ten long range fox sports. Nba analyst. stephen jackson joining us. Now stephen please help us here. Give lebron a letter grade for last night's performance and their early exit. I'm sticking with the miners Because you know you gotta look at this point cash. No data stop glance of batman his left in the fourth quarter That was a a season ending game. They come out and play the game with a sense of Eighty should have been on the court. it is a big slash and a big slap on the hand but a trained staff ample the coaching staff. I don't care how much this game means to you. This shows how much they care about the players. The guy could bali walked. Shoot around the game before you're going to throw him out there and see what he can do. Just for your benefit. I don't like at all that that that wasn't a good look from the leg. Him on the sideline let somebody else. Who's healthy mantras mantras harold. Everybody saying his name. Give him a chance to go out there and just do what he can. But you're trying to force a d. to do something he's not able to do it and what they did to that team killed. Everything killed the momentum of anything they could have did at the beginning to get them going to get good rhythm going because there was relying on her player and and and it was all down from. They're not even though. Even though booker had an unbelievable game with seven points. He was unstoppable but the way they started that game relying on a herculean that killed them around the team. And you see that's how the game played out. I gave him see also he was averaged in order for them to win this game and get to a game seven. He needed to be spectacular. He needed to be able to plus stack and there was an last night. And like you said you get down. I mean you let go off for what he would of twenty two four first quarter. He outscored by himself. You score fourteen points And so now all of a sudden you're already behind. The eight ball is going to take so much effort energy for you to get back into the ball game to catch back up with him when you do you see. You made a point ball game at one point. Would they could get no closer because they were spirit. All the legs will go and lebron. He missed a few rotations. He gambled on a couple of guys. Spot on three ankle is not what he needed to be stacked so he can. We know the broad normally computers around the rim. That's one that he could always do. And last night he just didn't have the bounce. The missiles twenty seven games the season the rapid turnaround you play. Basically every other day at that level he just he just didn't have any and this is the most ever seen him shan. Just most i don't ever seen him. He didn't get back in about five. Plays he just walked up the court. This is the most westbound king. One time i saw. It took him like ten seconds. I thought he went out on the side last you. Are you coming back. Did he go down all the time about here today. Still play then all of a sudden you get to the screen but also stacks. Is that forty seven percent of lebron available from three inch. Now day is curry okay. But not you lebron but like you said. I thought he was frustrated. Also but i gave them a c. because i thought he was average and he needed to be spectacular in order for them to have a chance to force a game seven. Okay my turn. Look i know that both of you to know lebron and you like to the point of love libron and i respect that. I like him off the court but i'm going to be more objective. I think than you to have been so far in this segment because the truth is shannon still calls in the best player on the planet. The king the goat in by those standards. I couldn't see lebron james last night i got to give him a deep plus and i'll only giving the d. Plus just above an f for fail or flunk. Because i saw a burst of lebron james in the third quarter if we could i just see those four flashes of vintage lebron in the third quarter when it was too late but he started chip away at the lead. If we could see this. This is lebron this. This is the guy houston no just drive at jae. Crowder cannot keep you from the rim. Just attack he cannot stop you. That's the king. That's the guy a wondrous seeing the first quarter when he instead of being an attack mode was in sit back mode dunk. It don't the damn ball is loose. Used to say for five slam age just dumped dug and again in the first quarter when i was on the edge of my seat for the king i did not see competitive fire. I did not see refuse to lose. I did not see not in my house. I did not see. I ain't going on no vacation yet. Scenic suns. I just didn't see that guy. He seemed passive. He seemed unaggressive he seemed disengaged in some points disinterested and when book went off and he went off the way. You rarely see anybody off in the first quarter score. Twenty two on six six from three. We hit the second quarter. Here's the lebron us off. We could see the two passes through. You're talking about careless. I don't care passes when it's still. There's plenty of time left as we saw in the fourth quarter. They almost got back in. Here's lebron james in the second quarter this is. This is your elimination game. You've never been eliminated. The for what is that. Because for the case p. come and margaret rights. Here come on. You're you're the best passer in basketball. You're just not into that okay. Okay but but it's just wrong. It's like no. You're you're the king show me back it up and i. I couldn't see him last night until that third quarter and then all of sudden they start chipping away and they actually cut it to ten in the fourth quarter and there were moments when i thought.

Yeah is great job in a court. They did a great job of streak in the court and the latest had nobody that could make plays the broad. Did he did a great job when he was missing. Shots went to the blog post up. Nobody compete in the paul absolutely work on that in another thing so we gotta stop expecting kobe and join. The lebron led the the grow. We haven't seen cope we. We would keep expecting kobe. Lebron come up kobe. Enjoy the come out of the wrong. We're not gonna see that that's not on. That's not who we is but we keep expecting that and that's why people begin letdown. The broadest lebron. He's and he is. He is who he is. But we keep expecting him to turn into jordan. Kobe joined kobe and certain times. And that's not what that's not gonna okay but but i have obviously going to beat us enough credit i. There were times in his younger days. Forty eight at detroit in. What was it game five in. We're all the way back to two thousand seven three about forty five in game six. The potential close out game at boston and twenty twelve. Yeah i know. It's a long time ago but he you say. Don't expect kobe joe. I saw that night. He twenty seven okay. I got it so let me go back to stephen. Then what percent of. Lebron is left like lebron greatest. What percent is he right. now of. The greatest of lebron is the eighty percent. Seventy five fifty. I will say. I will say this year Right now he's by eighty percent. I mean there's a lot of basketball been played in the last twelve fourteen months. There's a lot of basketball being played by these guys. You know what i mean and one thing about it. When david robinson went down to when other star went down in l. a. Three when tim duncan needed david absence and we still want to championship me. Grow stepped up. Yeah but one thing about it kept me in the right frame of mind all year because he knew it was the possibility that they will go down because of his age. You know a d. is injury prone so you got to keep his backed up happy and i would think is coming back to haunt them. This is common. The way they treat him entree the way they have the things you know what i'm saying. This is all common coming back to home. I know the play. You're talking about how to depose lebron james on the block. Now he's telling he's telling me got okay. Throw it to the topic. You tell coups. Go get the ball the topic. He was the guy for bronco failing so was he ceiling. Give it to them ahead. I'm doing we're coups. Even look exactly. He was talking about that. They don't work with the broncos smart though his wasn't bothered he went to the block. And that's when he was gonna make you work but they couldn't get it to him. He was frustrated more than i ever seen him. But you gotta give credit to phoenix. We're not giving them enough credit. They went in there and won that game. They candidate game and play with sense of urgency. Like down. I mean like like the clippers play with burson venus came into play says the versus the end the series because they know it feels the possibility of get another day of rest and come back. They will lose their series so they did right. They have their business. Yep if you get an opportunity to end the series ended don't have well we got game. Seven is being building. You never know stranger things happening getting set with a twist ankle here or tweet or gore. And they're in now. You're in the situation. That the lakers in all this off. I got one last question for stephen jackson. Did you see from the tip off a sense of urgency from lebron james. I'm not going to see with him. I like that from nobody on eighteen. Now one person and and you know what is great but he don't win games without his team. I'm sorry he just don't he's he's always had another player. He's always had helped. The team did not show up. I mean what does she want to do again. I love shrewd as a player. But you asked for one hundred million you gotta show up in these games. People don't like the side like hey. Do people hate the truth. And that's just the true margaret. Saw you you want to start. Margaret saul bargain. Okay what begin you seventeen minutes. He gave you see reports and liz draw. Draw will double digit rebounds in the same amount of time. What how do they start. What do they do at the start of the gay. What feelings do kevin hart role. Because my all can't side is be. What did i tell you all along. Maybe vogel was listening to me. Put the big penguin on ice. That's okay we'll big thing. We were talking about that. Big thing. we'll come back okay. I love yoga. All get solved assault assault. Zero poets may all had the same amount of points but my plus model better. I sat out the sound supporting cast. Man they did their job crowd or bridges that they have. What's it called. Look like my colleague poor lebron. He didn't have enough help. Camera cameras brain. Look like mike. Are you wrap up lebron. He didn't have well. That brings up a good question and steven. Thank you so much for joining us. Always good to have you and your energy on undisputed the first time in his career. Lebron has been bounced from the playoffs in the first round. The sun's jumped out to a thirty six fourteen point lead and first quarter. And despite his best efforts. lebron's twenty nine points was not enough to bring the lakers back. within striking distance. The king will need to wait another season until he begins. The quest links shannon did lebron's first round exit closed the case i was the case that. Mj is the go. No because if it did. Michael should have never been considered to go in firsthand. Playoff games is one of nine. So how'd you get to be considered the gold nine of your firsthand playoff getting no. That's impossible so now. Did he stink. In those games skipped he allows so now as long as we play good. What about the game. Lebron is played gradient and they lost. That's not what you said you said. If he was great he got the ball over the life. That's what you tell me now. It's just about being good as long as individual teams weren't your good. That's okay. that'll do this. You know my restaurant what you give you. Dog sales Mike per ten time coming to my restaurant. I nine ailes served it no i. I'm a firm believer. If you believe in michael hugh still do. If you believe in lebron skipped. I don't believe you can sway if what we going. Oh you believe what you believe or you don't believe what you believe is a similar that skill. I don't believe you could change anybody's mind right now channon. This was over a long talk to stop saying that lebron's track record is marred by too many epic fails in twenty yeah. That's the point twenty tin versus boston. That last i go round series in cleveland. When dan gilbert accused him of quitting and games four five and six was jordan every of quitting skip allegations of a will that's number one then twenty eleven finals. That's no allegation because that was the all time finals meltdown. We've ever seen that ever happened to george skip. All i'm saying that twenty eleven. That's all you got. You got only twenty eleven to two years wizard. Also how a twenty thirteen game. Six epic failed down the stretch including missing the last win-. Yeah he won because of rain and then the next year he did not win. Twenty fourteen he stunk.

Anthony davis tried to play through a groin. Strain only lasted five and a half minutes as the lakers have felt of a sons one. Thirteen to one hundred l. a.

Eighty should have been on the court I it's a it's a big slash and the slap on the hand but a trained staff ample the coaching staff. I don't care how much this game means to you. This shows how much they care about their players. The guy could barely walk. Shoot around game or you're going to throw him out there to see what he can do. Just for your benefit. I don't like that at all that. That wasn't a good look from the leg. Capi mona sideline let somebody else healthy. Mantra mantras harold. Everybody keeps saying his name. Give him a chance to go out there and just do what he can. But you're trying to force eighty to do something when he's not able to do it and what they did. That team killed everything and killed the momentum. Kill anything they could have did at the beginning again to get them going to get good rhythm going because there was the relying on her player and it was all downhill from there. Not even even though booker had an unbelievable game with seven points He was unstoppable but the way they started their game relying on a herculean knowing he was hurt. That killed them around the team. And you. that's how the game played out grew. Gabe see also he averaged in order for them to win this game and get to a game seven. He needed to be spectacular. He needed to be able to plus stack and there was no last night. It like you said you get down. I mean let go off what he would have twenty two hundred four first quarter. He outscored you by himself. You've fourteen points so now all of a sudden you're already behind the eight ball is going to take so much effort energy for you. Even get back into the ball game to catch back up with them when you do you see they got it made it a ten point ball game at one point but they could get no closer because they was fit all legs go and the broad. He missed a few defensive rotations. He gamble on a couple of things and left. Guys spot on threes. Acl is not what what a needed to be stacked so he can. We know the broad normally computers around the real. That's one thing he could always do a last night. He just didn't have the bounce. The missing twenty seven games the season rapid turnaround you play in basically every other day at that level he just he just didn't have any and this is the most ever seen him shannon most ever seen him he. He didn't get back in about five. Plays he just walked up the court. This is the most ever saying the king. One time i saw like ten seconds. I thought he went out on the sidelines. Wouldn't brought or did he go down. Did they call a time out. And then ref did here today. Still playing did all going to the screen but the problem also stacks is that forty. Seven percent of the attempt from three now day is dell curry. Okay but not you. Lebron but like you said i thought he was frustrated also but i gave see because i thought he was average and he needed to be spectacular in order for them to have a chance to the game.

I couldn't see lebron james last night i got to give him a deep loss and only giving the d. Plus just above an f for fail or flunk. Because i saw a burst of lebron james in the third quarter if we could i just see those four flashes of vintages lebron in the third quarter when it was too late but he started a chip back away at the lead. If we could see this. This lebron this. This is the guy i used to know. Just drive at jae. crowder cannot keep you from the rim. just attack he cannot stop you. That's the king. That's the guy. I wanted to see in the first quarter when he instead of being an attack mode was in sit back mode dunk. It don't the damn ball guy lewis us to say for five slamma just dumped dug and again in the first quarter when i was on the edge of my seat for the king i did not see competitive fire. I did not see refuse to lose. I did not see not in my house. I did not see. I ain't going no vacation yet scenic sons. I just didn't see that guy. He seemed passive. He seemed unaggressive. He seemed disengaged in some points disinterested and when book went off and he went off the way. You rarely see anybody go off in the first quarter score. Twenty two on six from three. We hit the second quarter. Here's the lebron ossoff. We could see the two passes through. You're talking about careless. i don't care passes we still. There's plenty of time left as we saw in the fourth quarter almost got back in. Here's lebron james in the second. Quarter your elimination game. You've never been eliminated the for what is that. Because casey people. K thank become and margaret de. Come on. you're better. You're the best passer in basketball. You're just not into that okay. Okay but but it's just wrong. It's like no. You're you're the king show me back it up. And i couldn't see him last night until that third quarter and then all of sudden they start chipping away and they actually cut it to ten fourth quarter and there were moments when i thought they're going to win this game right and if he had been more aggressive from the jump. I think they could have chipped away because it's still the phoenix suns and there's only one player on that team that jae crowder. I'll give you that but two guys was some experienced sleepy. Three and jay crowder. Lebron james in total has played almost forty more games than the entire phoenix roster including chris and jae crowder. Well that's the guy. I wanted to see and again ankle ankle ankle. I don't know the ankle wouldn't bother him in the third quarter. That like lebron stacks. You can attest this you been on the court and we saw this. Remember the detroit game. You saw high the life out of out of out of portland. Yeah so imagine what booker. There's nothing he shouldn't three step back. Three and eight face corner. Threes bomb three getting whatever he won't remember. They were number one in defensive efficiency. The los angeles lakers. We're was that team The team had showed up but they couldn't score skit. Remember four points.

"I went there. Because i know what you can deliver for me. So don't make you feel like it was just transactional k. d. with the golden state warriors. Don't win the benefit is something who was the best player on the team is the files. Mvp back to back with katya. You make it seem i- radical. And maybe i maybe i'm wrong. But katie said that he went to golden state because they felt like the underdog. He's to him. They felt like the underdog a team going. Sixty seven and fifteen. Seventy three nine would a two time. Mvp the last time you wanted unanimous in k. d. that would underdogs. Okay for the record. What was damian lillard in game. Four back in portland in this series scale shop. One for ten comes gonna stop. You gotta stop this notion. Kobe bryant did not score thirty point every single playoff game. Michael jordan scored thirty points every single playoff game. You've got to stop this day. Ever have a one for ten except for kobe's the year eighteen years. Kobe of half bad playoff games for tens pretty bad way. They they won. Oh you remember. When we didn't have a three one lead against phoenix. In one game he wouldn't shoe will now that's a whole nother shoot. He wouldn't but the thing is is that you pick you pick a game here or game. There take like twelve games. what about what about. What about the five hundred games that he's been spectacular lowest. Winning percentage of any player in the league is damian. Lillard love to see had mark lamarcus. Aldridge stayed there. Marcus say he should have been a better job of trying to communicate That would have been a great situation. I would have liked the seem had. Cj day lamarcus aldridge been able to grow together. But that's not what markets lamarcus wanted and he wanted to move. Oh okay we can't go back in time but skill to say this kid is an all time club or he's as clutch of anybody in his generation is just not true. You can't be because you have mentioned that game against okay. See he houston home. he's not like skip. he's many games. Have you lost as the higher seed. One to new orleans. One time as higher seed he lost swept yes. He lost more times than not. He's delors the've abraham to even bit this is a three six matchup. The one eight matchup. That was a one eight match which he lost go to dayton. He was the lowest lead against houston sent him home. We'll maybe you're lakers will get to see him all that he'll be cooking the food for you just somebody to be the broad. Not well i don't want to be lebron but there are about to put it up not not you know what i want you to have that same joe friday. You know betty energy at all. I got ready already got phone. Kansas poisoned bets. I don't seven three threes. You should've gave me five little seven three the long three point shooting mercy saturday on fox. It's one of the greatest rivalries in sports as the red sox take on the yankees or the dodgers battled the braves or cups giant saturday seven eastern on fox and fox sports check some local listings but the game area while the lakers were without anthony davis less. Ron couldn't keep la in the game. The sun's would end up route in the lakers. Going up by thirty at halftime holding on to win one. Fifteen two eighty five. Ron finished with twenty points. Five rebounds and seven assists in the loss lebron only at eleven points from his other starters but he also finished with a game worse plus of minus twenty four sports. nba analyst. stephen jackson joining us. Now see it. Is ben too long and i gotta ask you for a letter grade for lebron last night when you got burst is good to see us. Go shannon jedi got lot of love you as always goes daniel face you are few. That'd be i'd give it a c plus. He has no help. He has no help at all. And then again. The bigger issue for me is bogu eighty goes down you know his injury prone but you mistreat transfer out early in the season ninety needing now. You don't wear his mental is you. Should treat them like a six man. He was when he signed which he wasn't. He signed you now. You need him now. He don't know what his role is. And you you you put. You wouldn't carbonates. And guys like wesley matthews and guys who are not proving to step up in these moments so the bride is doing this job but eight is always injury. Prone should've known you need to keep guys like a d. Bring another guy in besides marcus. Marcus can't garden can't go out and pick roses just that. He said he's one of the smartest big man. Everybody cannot play today in in a bigger role game but the way they treated. Montreal rail is coming back to haunt him now because they need him agree. I gave them a c. minus Because he did the thing. Is that what we needed. And you're right. He doesn't have help. And the day. And i say this earliest that the day the lebron giving you forty and fifteen at anybody me you right nine genius and we've making it a game with somebody. Those days are over. He needs he needs another third option. Also someone that you can pills leeann that you can go to your head on your pillow at night. Said okay he no. He will give me twenty twenty-five tomorrow like they have brooklyn like they have in milwaukee milwaukee. They went and got a third option holiday. You see what did they had carry elite score katie elites core. Now we need more live. Get james hard and i think moving forward. That's what the lakers going to have to do. I don't know where they get that guy from the stack. But i believe that's what they're going to have to do but lebron is gonna have to be in order for them though to even make this a game and still believe they're going to win this series. Lebron going to have to turn back the clock the hands of time for two more games. I don't believe they can go pass this series. But i do believe he can summon up the strength to one more time to get it done. This situation and your letter grade for last night would be a remind us that's all does. It gave him eighty five percent of the blame but but only a semi us. Because here's the pace. He me though. He gave me those seventeen. He gave me the third if he given me those in the first or the second. I don't believe it would have been a blowout in close of a ballgame. Maybe they like okay. We still hear it was like well if that thing with the game fix okay. First of all. Steve jackson is good to hear your voice. Welcome back thank thank you second of all. thank you for bringing up mantras herald. Because it's the damnedest thing i've ever seen. I don't know what's happened. He was lost in the doghouse until that game was way out of hand last night and i just like his effort and energy i think comes in and just wreaks havoc. It may be good habit. Maybe bad havoc but he wreaks happening. Something has gone haywire off the court in the locker room. I don't know the clippers had issues with him but he was challenging the lack of leadership on quiet paul georgia's part and he was probably right to challenge it but it fell apart. He's still thought he was going to go back to the clippers and all sudden. Wait a second. They don't want me. i guess i'll be a laker. He doesn't play great defense. But this is the time when you if vogel. I'm going to play a lot in this game because.

"In lebron chris and shannon last night was the first night in all my years of carefully watching lebron basketball games that i finally sat back at halftime. And i said wait. A second is grant hill right because he suggested the middle of second quarter father. Time is tapping lebron on the shoulder. It was so shocking. What i didn't see from lebron after that early flurry and to both your points he goes back door cut layup reverse layup and then he makes the three at ten sixteen left in the first quarter. They're up eight to three. And i'm thinking here he comes. I thought he was going to thirty five. Fifteen and ten. She everybody on this show had him with a triple double right big big thirty one points. Yeah and i thought he's on his way. Sit back and enjoy the show. Because i'm still not completely sold on. Phoenix and i'm a little less sold when chris paul has another. I think it's a stinger. I don't know he's got a bolt pain down his right arm again. Then he shook it off this time and made the two free throws will he play on thursday. Yeah he'll he'll he'll play. Will he be limited. He may be a little limited as a shooter and a passer but the point is at the ten sixteen mark all the way. Down until half-time lebron james one of eight over two from three and didn't shoot a free throw and more importantly. I predicted yesterday that he needed to get to the free. Throw line twenty times and settled because shannon play. Devil's advocate. i said okay seventeen shots. I need seventeen foul shots for lebron. He shot zero. He's been averaging in the series. He came in averaging four free throw attempts against it his career. He's averaged nine free. Throw attempts per playoff game. Twenty total in the five game not even total eight. He's talked last night. He he put up the big goose egg. He never got to the free throw line. And i'm saying that's just wrong. Because he looks strangely uninspired to the point of being unplugged. I saw no fire. I saw no urgency in the team that wanted to feed off his fire and urgency couldn't go along because there is no ride to go along for in every body shrank in lebron shadow. And until all your points you can condemn all the rest of them. Because he got little to no help. You got little coups mail. He got a little bit of drummond. Help draw drum. he's it. Yeah we'll drum better be a d. tomorrow night right there. Okay well chris so my conclusion is is this the first sign. I'm talking about the first sign. We say oh. He's starting to hit the age wall. Honestly i think the first sign. I would go back to twenty nineteen when he couldn't carry those guys even to the playoffs. He got hurt already. Missed a lot of games but remember when he said. I'm activating playoff mode. Yup right and they went eight thirteen and then he just you know that season was over and he sat out a lot of games. So that's when you started to see okay. The word can't carry these gap mediocre. Guys like he used to be able to now he can again. He could still play very well and he's so he's obviously gonna put up numbers last night. Which you just look at the box score. You didn't know That you didn't see the game and you think well. At least he showed up right but so he'll put up numbers but yeah i think last night was just another signed. But i've been seeing it because again too. Many jump shots settling more for the three dozen drive as much and even though he got to delay to the free throw line more than he did last night or this playoff series during the regular season. Your free throw attempts started. Go down as you get older. And so i've been seeing. All of that with lebron is fine if you have a healthy ad because he's still a top level player but he's just not what he used to be so yes gifting and santa's right. They need. I don't know where they find the guy. Obviously you love to get a bradley beal. But i don't know that you know that that trolley impossible but they gotta get a third guy. 'cause ad just not reliable enough. I mean this. This year is lash was more the aberration as far as his health. Then this year this year was more kind of like the norm. That's that's of. How is okay. But i remind both of you early in this regular season just past that. There was a stretch when lebron was being proclaimed the mvp front runner. So our age. Then i think the thing is kept me plus last night. You have to look at it. He played almost twelve here. My played almost a whole first quarter where he normally plays seven minutes and then he played basically the entire second quarter. So you ask him to play twenty. He can't do that when lebron was twenty. Four remember early in his career. He can play for two minutes. He could play for two minutes. And you but you but as you get to be thirty six you can't play thirty eight thirty nine minutes. And he gave come quick. The season came quick. The game basically you play three games a week back back to back. It is catching up. I believe next year outlook obviously is going to be thirty seven. But i think once we get back to a normal schedule these there he doesn't have to do because like you say chris. I agree with you the day. The lebron james basically going getting thirty every game and willing to team no matter who the guys are me. You crave to producers and abroad getting close to winning winning a game. I don't know if he can do that. He can do that consistently because we do. He does need. But i still believe me the third guy. Okay so one more time just to close this up. i would like to show our viewers. Those three drives one in the first quarter in two in the second quarter in which lebron to me just looked like an ageing player if we could just see the the drives these are his basket attacks. That's kinda pathetic. Didn't get a foul call. Then this i thought he'd get the foul call and they gave torrey craig flat out block on it and then the third one he swoops around shoots a little baby hook and it hits nothing but backboard. Well that's not that guy that this is the greatest attacker the basket. I've ever seen six nine to sixty five. A thing he has he was in a great rhythm he got hurt lost some of his conditioning. Believe you'll see a better. You'll see lebron that we were seeing early last year chris. We'll see that lebron again. If i'm telling you when you when you're the owner player and you get injured if hard to come back and pick right up where you left off and the game come quicker but like i said i believe once he gets this offs get this season behind him and he gets able to get back. Refocus take a month off getaway. Probably don't pick up a basketball. Don't even say basketball. Don't even look at basketball. As a matter of fact i don't even watch the games decompressed. Go back into the lab comeback. Okay well you're talking like.

"Think it's at night. I don't even try to figure out how to clip getting these breaks. And we ain't get no break. Well i think it's lucas getting the breaks right because we know he's quote unquote hurt. He got three days off right there to heal his quote unquote neck injury. Right because you know what normal that. Lincoln's i'd only take pretty hard. You can't sleep in restless. Slept well last night because i resigned to the fact that like midway through the second quarter that this was over and there was no there. There's no over. We can make a comeback was like tears. Giveaway with like sunday's game was tough because we were right there. This was like we were really never ate it. When were for four minutes eight to three and i thought you had to go and even in the first the end of the first we back me. We made a ball game of it. What was twenty seven. We're only down a handful of points and like okay. I like what we the bronze gonna come back. Starting to second. You know we will get fresh lineup in there. We'll be good to go. And i'm like twenty one to to to open the second quarter score. No your lakers scored ten points in the second quarter impossibly bad. Remember this going fifteen. What was the game. One this fifteen in the third quarter skip. I'm starting to think that. Ad at this stage in age of his career versus lebrons. That he's more valuable than lebron is. I'm starting to think that you'd be starting to think wrong really i. You got two more chances to prove it but you had your biggest chance was last night like it easy. You don't because you. Oh you call them. By surprise we want to pressure could be onus. Okay well i'll give you some more pressure because my last takeaway from last night was i did not think phoenix played that great. Last night i think phoenix can play considerably better than they did last night. If you look hard this boxing okay. Look at the three point. Shooting phoenix shot thirty three percent. So it wasn't like what my spurs did to lebron twenty fourteen finals when they shot him off the floor by a record finals margin from the three point line. They shot thirty. Three percent devon booker. Two out of six which for him is extraordinary. Because he's not going to let him going early mid range in his mid range bottle last night. Okay but look at the rebounds who won the boards or we wanted to blow. What's the pat riley expression no rebounds. No rings will you got the rebound one fifty one to forty seven and big penguin. You can argue out. Played eighty two right. Yeah okay and then we look at at turnovers. It's the only place where they got you. You had sixteen. Which is not horrible. As far i had only four. So that's how they beat you. They only four. Yes right and we've been hotter in located gave that we've lost in this series. They've been hot journal. you can't skip. You can't turn the ball over and not score. Yeah and that's that's what eighty you long stretch. And they go twenty two. What do we do. Turnover turnover turnover. They go book. Bucket bucket in the game gets out of hand. So you're going to have to take better care to flip of football. Better care the basketball in situations like this but finally did they free. Throw you out of the. Gm shot the same out. Same amount say may fifteen or twenty one so it wasn't the three point shot wasn't the free throws you can argue somewhat the turnovers. Yeah but in the end they made fifty six percent of their two point shots and you made thirty five percent right and you got blown out with give if you think about it early. Although there three point percentage wasn't good but if you look at it when it mattered in the first half mikhail bridges jae crowder could miss devon booker hit and cameron payne and gave him in. Look like my well. Like i say. I don't think they mississippi three that much no impact. He might even campaign money. Be a little bit of an upgrade oversee. Three is an offensive threat. The way he's hurt where he can score. Yeah he can get. I mean he's getting to the basket gets anybody wants to. Yeah shrewder he can caruso. It doesn't matter who put on his fearless not afraid of this day. He in big bigshots. Big three land about like i said can't be playing like my colleague and i'm like but doesn't tomorrow the new well. The pressure just went through these staples roof on this one team in the basement. That is still wearing a major there waiting to play the team upstairs but the team upstairs has pressure going through the roof on it right now and i don't think they can live up to this kind of pressure on me and my morning. I had to change my shirt. I had a plain white shirt without a really bit more. Yeah you've out dark muscle you normally like. Will you sound like you're giving up giving them talk a good game. But you're not actually played say i'm our didn't show up three cases of do okay. We're gonna talk about that in just a moment. I just you know we're gonna win. You know shannon. I actually like a five over there. These timber baron. Tremendous comeback damian lillard put on all time performance last night in double overtime in a loss against the nuggets alert force both overtimes with three pointers and finished the game. With a playoff record. Twelve made threes. He is also the first player to ever fifty five points and tennessee's in a playoff game. Those numbers what is your biggest takeaway from dame's performance one of the most impressive performance. And i go back to watching basketball the long time. This is one of the greatest playoff performances. Shooting the basketball as you ever see skipping. I know steph. Curry is the greatest of all time. But if you tell me somebody else taking steph curry you got dame living okay. I'm not crying. i'm not disappointed. 'cause this kid can play shoot basketball skill. And i'm not talking about talking about little corner. Threes skip. Did you see where he was pulling up front to tie the game to get into overtime to send into double overtime him pulling up from thirty netflix. Show us a mid range shot. That's the market rolls of bread booker. Mid range shot the way he's shooting. This dude is twelve of seventeen if he got anything. Skimpy drops nine in the third another level in the fourth. Seventeen double overtime. If he'd had any teammate give admitted pain he's seventeen in nineteen point double overtime skip. Cj if mellow if anybody care to a new yorkers piled out don't them to find out half the squad yeah and they gave him anything. They win this ball game. Yeah i've never seen anything like it skipped. If i'm not mistaken up like eight or nine in the first overtime yup not boom boom kill. Twelve of seventeen from either did for that matter. Denver is up twenty two in the second quarter. I think that's what saved they got up to that big lead in dame couldn't get as normal risks because he had to keep them in the game he got hot in the second and he had to play more minutes. Maybe he wore down at the end but he's still made great passes. Mr couple come missed some easy basket but this is a great performance. Is the most points playoff history. The third most of the laws. Mj sixty three donovan. Mitchell just dropped fifty seven to get the same nuggets team last year. Here come dame comes. Back with fifty five skip. This is if teammates was to two points on one of fourteen schutte in the two overtime skill if he gets anything they this game comfortably if he gets gives he gets anything they win game and first of all. I'm not so sure it even go to a second overtime athlete enough to know the guys clutch. He's he's still did should call your because he broke up. Okay he did. The beatles. belva got paul. George step. Paul george paul george came right up bash shock. That knows not. i've seen him here. I'm sorry i have to stop. You cannot compare breaking up to feed his to breaking up the oklahoma city thunder of russell.

"Going wrong. Yes out the brookville brookville in the bay from Dame is definitely a real no question about it. he's a real I think it's it's guys like me. You be that. Want to see him win. He's such a great player. You know he is exciting to watch. He dedicated so much of so much of his life to the game and the way he plays he's brought. Paul is definitely the most plus player in the game right now. You know him mckay dee but what he's doing right now it's unbelievable man and we just wanna see him win. I know what it feels like the whole etro. Pr and there's no better feeling in the world after you've given your whole life to something to say that she was a champion the best at it but at least one year and i know in the back of his mind. He's thinking that but at the end of the day when you taking care of when you when you play basketball for a job for your whole life a lot of things like that don't matter long as family straight. A lot of people take that into consideration championship. And obviously he's going to make five hundred million lifetime career and be a earnings or close to it like he's the money's locked in and he's earned it also do think it's noteworthy win. He because the extension that he has not even been yet. He has a four year extension. That starts next year but when did he signed it. He signed it two years early. Why well there's a lot of money but also what had just happened. The blazers had just made the conference finals. It was the only truly deep playoff run. They've gone on since he's been there. And i think in the glow of that moment he was like i can stay here and we can win and they couldn't like it's an. It's not his fault the to me. Everyone when people think of lebron's first part of his career in cleveland they think of that final series against boston. I believe i don't know this. I believe lebron realized. I have to leave the year before the year before in a series against orlando in thousand nine lebron average thirty nine eight and eight and they lost in six and i think he said okay like all right. I'll play out the last year my deal but it doesn't matter what i do. There is a ceiling and for dame he obviously can't play out the remainder of the contract. It'd be four years from now. But i do wonder unfortunately when he just came off the greatest game he's ever played and one of the greatest playoff games. Anyone has ever played if he doesn't look around and say i wasn't enough. Then what will be and been. He has some tough decisions to make love to keep watching dame safe. The blazers can avoid elimination tomorrow night. Game six that went back in portland. We're back talking your guy. Nick lebron's award and elimination everybody. Chances is happening overkill blown out last night in game five. That's next first. Things first clinton. Except back here. Stephen jackson and we finally got to it stack. We're talking lakers suns game five and necas going to stick around this time. We talk about lakers without anthony davis subsequently without any offense shot. Lebron would say after the game son's seizing the opportunity. Thirty point halftime lead. Thirty point win about that. The only dark spot for phoenix chris. Paul reinjured that shoulder and he had to leave the game but the lakers lost and they now sit on the brink of a first round. Exit years lebron. After the game. I are asking us a simple. They did whatever they wanted to get his game. One fourth game seven. So i would say a lot to learn from his game with lots of cover see You know what we gotta do better on a game six but it pretty much kick ass nothing else. I stephen i wait to get your take on it and you think last night's game was more about what the sun's data with the lakers didn't do everything is not rocket science it had and that's all down to their totally. Detained without anthony davis. We all knew basis. Come out feeling. Good they're at home. They're gonna not downsizing they're gonna make shots at home but not having apnea davis Is is a big missing piece of them. But this is the biggest thing and i knew they regret now. You should have appreciated much raised from beginning this season. You should have been playing them. So when anthony davis does go down because he know he's angela that interesting. His compass is still be high but now but now they're suffering from treating from treating them like my crap and not playing and not giving them the ministry desires. He was a six million a year last year. He didn't come to the lakers. Not play so now. You need him now. Mental is not right so and that's playing. I did a bad job of handling him coming back behind him. Now because we all know eighty is injury prone while they wanted andre drummond and they wanted they wanted to rome on drink drumming and side by side. That's the problem nick. You've been talking about that. You gotta get andre drummond off the court and move to the five. But here's the i'm not gonna i'm not gonna crush need nick's been doubling down on his lakers thing and he had an easy out when a de- went down here. Here's what i wanna to talk about. What you stag. While we have you here you got. Ad he's been inconsistent all year when he's been healthy he's been. He's been dealing with health issues all year. This is a guy that can go down just like that. You just don't know. He's a tender guys world sensitive what happens in the locker room and nba locker room. When you're dealing with a guy like this what so much on a locker. Are you guys looking at them or you're trying to cheer him. More you like is the approach to a guy like this. What's going through. Lebron's hit we as basketball players to answer different between not karen and injury. eighty cares. Eighty wants to help his team. That's that's not in question but you can't really you can't really blame him from injury. Isra happens some some of those guys. That i love to watch play that i love to compete against career into short and and and some guy that lived up to johnston buildup of random award and and they have no control over that. So you gotta be careful with that man. Because he's one of the best players just came up with championship. You know what he means the team. You know what he can do but injuries are sometimes audi hands. Well i think stack brings up a bunch of really interesting points. And they all kind of tied to big picture wise. This lakers team doesn't.

Gordon hasn't been to play that we expected him to be once. It got the denver but also stepped up but they cannot average fifty fifty five points on the road and lose that game started frustration island islanders space so yeah and i don't blame him for the frustration and luckily the lakers game was so awful.

Lillard now has as far as most threes in a playoff game the fourth most ever the third most ever second most ever is klay thompson epic game six against oklahoma city in twenty sixteen and then last night the most ever. This was the seventh most points ever scored in any playoff game of all time. And what you saw in overtimes wilds is what a number and there's an image. The number is this six of eight. I seventeen points that would dame was in open overtimes one of fourteen for two points. That's what all of his teammates were in the two overtimes and in the in the end of the second overtime robert covington dane. Good tim a dunk. He literally misses the dunk. And the next time down dame's partner. Cj dame kicks it to cj and cj steps out of bounds. and i watched it wilds. And i said dame for alternate loyal guy for the ultimate. I'm not going to team up. I want to do it here. Guy a game like this can stick with you and make you reconsider because when you score when you literally are setting records when you are making shots to wear when you miss austin rivers actually thanked god put his hands like this and thank god that you missed and your teammates are missing dunks and stepping out of bounds scoring two total points on fourteen shots in ten overtime minutes of your dame you have to say to yourself what what can i do. What more can i do and might do. I want to keep running into this wall because he was perfect last night and it wasn't enough and they weren't playing an all time. Great team like the nuggets are some unbeatable super team. It's like they're just playing a good team and it wasn't enough so so stack. I wanted to ask you this. Because i also like nick have sort of a. I don't know i. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth to watch a great performance in kind its spin it forward and be a little bit negative but i also have to be honest because we've worked together for a while and i felt like your legacy has a lot of different chapters to it. You have we you were known to it like the we believe warriors we know like pacers kind of ultimate loyal guy but when we first started working like an nba champion. Stephen jackson is here. And talk about the spurs and you'd have the rain. We're talking about all the time. And you would you would is that is part of a of a nuanced and a sort of a wide legacy for you. I feel the same way about dane that we know that dame is like the ultimate loyalty guy and now he's known as an all time great clutch guy. But i don't think we're ever going to be able to say an nba champion dame lillard. And i want that for him. I don't want to tell the guy what to do. I don't wanna wish him out of portland. I don't want to blow up the teen. But is it wrong for me to say like hey dame you probably have to make a movie. Their pressure the blazers to make up another move or leave. What is your take on him trying to like for lack of a better term chase a championship. Some some guys are big on laws Me personally. I would love to see them win a championship. I would love to see him. Go somewhere else and play here But you know at the end of the day. We only worry about what we control and he had easing told her that decision. You know law to means a lot a lot of people and it means a lot to me too but it's turned time you can't be loyal to people now lawyer to you. You know what i mean. And then that's what it is. Dan can can can save his lawyer to this team. But i guarantee you know ten years from now enjoys might be retired there. But the lord's he won't be there with their team they move on and try to buy another day and that's just that's just a true. I would love to see him a champion. But what a lotta people ain't talking about about this game. Whilst is their second three. That sent the game into overtime. Should have been an one key. Got win yeah. Good call stack. Let's let's stay on this conversation. Because i'm a big fan. I'm a big fan of the show. Love all the smoke and when you wash the show every time you guys have kobe a i d way you always say you know man. This is a real one real one real one and so dame i think he's considered a real one in your book right and so is this real going wrong where this do dropped fifty five points. He's he's been doing it for years. He's been having these these monster games in these monster performances but they just can't get over the hump so to wild point. I don't want him to go somewhere else and chase championships. But when is enough.

"On brooklyn's roster not forget garden that can even form the wall. Like i guess you could try deondraye jordan like you did in the regular season and janas responded to that in the regular season by averaging forty points per game against this team so the one part wilde's that i will say brooklyn has a sizable edge. In is a brooklyn has a three point. Lead with forty five seconds left in any of these call. Four point lead with forty five seconds left they are. They are the best clothes out team in the league because all three of their guys are spectacular. Free throw shooters. You can't get in foul competition with them at the end of games as you see teams tried to do so. That works to brooklyn's favor but the defense the well roundedness and the back diving milwaukee's been tested. I think all works in the bucks paper. So here's the thing that. I'm worried about and i'm rooting for the bucks. But this is what i'm worried about. What is steve. Nash win into the nets locker room today. Whether watching film and said this not only can we not contain him. We're just going to let honest do is thing. If you honest has been playing like wilt chamberlain literally we put up wilt chamberlain numbers against the honest and they look exactly the same if he gets forty so be it if it gets forty five so be it. If he gets fifty you know what will make a great highlight but we need to stop. Pj tucker can't get loose and start hitting threes. Like marcus smart. Did we can take in. Chris middleton try to keep him in the teens and try to keep drew holiday in the teens. If that happens. Nick if steve. Nash says you know what we can't stop on us and we're not going to try. We're almost let them punch himself out. We have to stop those other guys. I think that would be a blueprint to beating the bucks. You agree. well the thing is this. I don't know that they can stop the other guys. I just don't next when they their best five-man line-up the one where katie's the only big on the court hardened kyri joe harris and blake katie and in the underrated story of this postseason by the way has been kevin durant is playing essentially perfect basketball. Katie is as somehow showing no signs of any injuries and is doing it on both it. Katie is an excellent defender. No one else in that. Five man. Unit is a plus defender harden. If you post them up is but that's it and so even if you like no we're just going to let you on as his but we're not going to let who is stopping drew holiday. Who is stopping. Chris middleton if you've katie on. Chris middleton that can work but that so i just think that the the nets have not shown me the ability to get stops. They haven't needed to because his brandon's point is a big three of just been incandescent. But i think the bucks too much is simple as simple too much offense of firepower and you guys are missing it. There's an. I've never seen a great team or great player. Go into a game saying oh. We need to do this. No what they do is they. Doubled down on what they do. Best and they impose their will. They say we're going to force this team to stop us. So who's losing sleep right. Now is the bucks loses sleep right now saying we need to stop the big three over there. Two guys that just average eighty four eighty five points in the series. That's a record. You gotta go back to the sixty to see somebody come close or or or is it the nets a lose asleep at night saying we gotta stop. Yarn is we gotta stop. Middleton we gotta stunt drew holiday. We gotta stop. Pj tucker think about that. No the nets are not losing sleep. You got k. d. kyri and james harden in. We're talking about some of the most prolific scores. This league has ever seen. Forget the league. We got freaking scores. Walking earth never seen the nba. You throw these guys out the rooker. You told these guys on any frigging blacktop. And they're going to give buckets and that's exactly what his team is going to beat them and six point blank. Nick would say time for nick to hand out. Nba playoff metals devon booker. He went for thirty in the sons blowout win but phoenix just the phoenix star. Just missing out on a medal. Nick who did make your play podium. Today yeah booker. Actually kinda got screwed by. How terrible the lakers were. He didn't have to play much. Or you know. Try much late in the game or else we could add a forty five point game and got on the podium but he just misses out he doesn't miss out is nikolay yokich averaging close to thirty five points per game in this series game of the playoffs. I know we'll discuss it here in a minute last night. Nagoya in double overtime thirty eight. Eleven and nine in a critical series shifting win in denver silver silver-metal james harden thirty four ten and ten last night whenever it seemed like the celtics lego somehow down seven. Somehow they're only down eight harden would either score or assist to give the nets more breathing room. He was excellent last night and help the nets. Cover that twelve and a half by the skinner t but the gold medal of these single greatest performances in playoff history. As i said we will get into it in depth thirty five six and ten with a degree of difficulty on these shots and a critical clutch nature of the shots. The likes of which i. I don't know that. I've ever seen rollerblade thompson's record for most three pointers playoff game. And every single one of them matter massively. That was the only lucky one. All night damian lillard jetta runs away with the gold medal. Despite the blazers losing and dial two i know i was just gonna say. How do you have a performance like that. You can't win the game. I while who just missed the cut down to don't call timeout. Kiet nurse from the logo mugging phoenix mercury. Win the game. If you're keeping track this makes to phoenix wins. That lebron had to watch on tv. So that's just a good tidbit for you. In all i won't. We just talked about it. Knicks gold medalists dame lillard historic performance last night. But will the blazers lost. Be the reason. Dave leaves.

"One. Other graphic thought was super interesting. Lebron didn't get one free throw didn't get it. There was a handful of calls where he put his hands up that he thought he deserves something. But it feels like this is indicative of either him not being aggressive enough him kind of carrying out his like. I need to get guys in ball too much or him. Not being one hundred percent and probably a combination of everything. What did you take them out of. What did you take from him. Not going to the free throw line at all. Last night won't listen. I think it's a little misleading. Because you mentioned. I thought he was relatively aggressive. I thought there was a bunch of at least three separate drives to the basket where he was trying to get to the free throw line and didn't get the call but i do think that he didn't the sense of urgency slave. Ok lebron that was minus game. Everyone else it was an f. Game and the suns played out of their minds but the reason that the sons had the sense of urgency. Is the sons understand. Something that and we'll see if they can it that i had said a longtime going. You laughed at me. Kevin wilds but it's accurate the sons or any team playing lebron. They have to win. They don't have to win four out of seven. You have to win four out of six because if it gets to a game seven year cooked so the suns new in order to win this series. They had to win yesterday and they did well. And they annihilated the lakers. at what. What brandon brandon the all. this historical. No you just. You also owns the king. He's never lost in the first round like enough of all those references from the past man. It's over they're done they're done. They're done. I just wanna ask. Can isis ask this real quick. We're just quick leap out all over. Here's darting vacuuming is done. We got we all morning that up. What's going on with ad whether he'll be available for game six. We got head to new orleans jason hill. Battling it out for the starting quarterback john fox sports look. Jane is though as the betting favorite to be the started. Come week wants to. Why are we talking about this nets. First things first worse laker game of the year now atlanta with a chance to close it out tonight and gang five. Take a listen to hawkesbury clink. Capellas trash off ahead of tonight's game gardner physical became win games as well. And now we coming to your own to win this game again. Send on vacation here. Heard about Clinton capellas comments. He says they're coming to put you on vacation and don't care don't care. I assume did hear about them. You just do not care. We not only got so. We gotta do great. But why would i give clinton really feel about it. I don't know brennan. How do you feel about a clean. Cappella comments are blank. Oh this is don king s like look this guy don king can make any fight. Any doll fight. He made us believe that it was going to be the biggest fight and it was gonna be amazing. Was going to be a spectacle but look this. This series lackluster. The first the first game where you had trae young into drama between him and the fans. That was cool Then the second game. Msg was rocking lacking star power is lacking the storyline so for cappella to keep it going. It's actually great. Promotion is great for the game actually like it. argh so. I think it's warranted brandon because the the knicks approach has given the hawks undue confidence eighties beyond stupefying to me. That two things have not happened to trae young in this series one that there is not any foul committed on trae young. We're the commentators are debating whether it's flagrant one or a flagrant to the fact that hasn't happened yet is unbelievable on nick. That's on basketball. Okay well then. The other thing is basketball. Make trae young defend. Put him in a pick and roll. He just standing in the corner. On reggie bullock every defendant possession not expending any energy not getting any foul trouble. Not having to guard anybody. So i understand. The hawks would feel confident. While i'm going to today's gay not on some media. Comp tickets press box down with the people with knicks. Fan sam pepper. The knicks going to win tonight and they are going to finally not trae young down and put a little scare in the hawks. And that's what's gonna happen tonight but until that happens. These are warranted comments. Wilde's okay good. So i think you're one hundred percent about trae young to the point. Where on twitter. Add to mute you and trey young pick and roll like we get it when you're on national tv you don't. I've got it. You gotta put it mining minute okay. Here's the thing about trash talk. Everyone who's played an organized. Sport has had some trash talk to them before the ones that are really effective. Kind of hurt your feelings so that one got me that one. Really throw me off the game. This might be from clint cappella. The worst trash talk in the history of trash talking. Could you imagine you're playing a game and someone's like. Hey i'm gonna send you occasion. Mike awesome dude. Where i'm going. Sounds great and that's both teams win. If the knicks get knocked out like you know what we ever achieve is going to come in second place go but yeah going occasion. The knicks are okay with house money. Great trash where. we sure. that was good. Taste some hill now because you talked about planes quarterback fulltime yesterday be a fly on nick rice wall when he this from tastes him hill. They said look at the end of the day. When i first got here and i started doing all this stuff the answer when i was asked. Hey.

She's an older woman and she'd been going to the same bank branch for decades even as the sign outside changed repeatedly from one corporate owner to another then one day. She got a notice saying come. Clean out your safe deposit box. That's how she learned. Her bank was about to close her closest bank now. She has to depend on the tax the or somebody to pick up and take what she's going but now she has to have them pick her up and take her completely outside of the neighborhood to going get her banking done for some customers. That might just be the push. They need to switch to online banking. But stephen knows better than to suggest that to his elderly constituent age. She's not just you can't just tell her. Pick up your phone. Do mobile banking. She's not going to do

LA Lakers Sign Michael Beasley
"Let's get to it. The Lakers keep adding to their roster this off season. Multiple reports. The Lakers have agreed to a one year deal with Michael Beasley was a teammate of LeBron's in Miami Beasley was the number two overall pick in two thousand eight, but has had a history of drug issues during his career. Last year, he averaged about thirteen points per game with the Knicks and the Lakers already at it. Rajon Rondo land Stevenson and javale McGee this off season. We're joined by EVA's one NBA analyst. Chris. I'm gonna get this one starting with skip because I wanna know what you think. What is going on here just for the record, I've covered the NBA even longer than my main Chris Broussard. I started covering the NBA when I was at the LA times back in nineteen seventy seven, and I covered these Los Angeles Lakers. So I've been around for a little while and I've seen thing or to this team now sets up as the most difficult to coach team. I can ever remember. Maybe I'm forgetting one somewhere along the trail, but I don't think so because let me just count the ways. Michael Beasley love is game, loved him before his draft. He's been on seven teams and eleven years for reason. Rajon Rondo has been on six teams in the last five years for a reason land. Stevenson has been on seventeen in the last six years for a reason. Nj, all McGee has been on sixteen eleven years for various reasons. They're all in different ways, extremely difficult to coach from night tonight. They can be moody, they can be. Unpredictable. They can be a little knuckle headed in their own various ways. This is now the NBA's version of the expendable 's and I can't believe that LeBron James signed off on all four of them because I'm pretty sure magic had to take each one of these still LeBron say, you good, you good, you good. He's had history with all four in various ways playing for or against them or with an or against them. And it's like he now has the equivalent of four JR Smith on his team. Not that Rondos knuckle headed. He can just be difficult high basketball, I q Doc. Rivers finally said, I just can't coach him because he thinks he's the coach of my team thinks he knows more than I do. He was the driving force behind New Orleans rise last year into the plows past Portland in the first round. It was highly impressive. And then the pelicans said, no, no, no, we we're not going to go for with Rondo because he's difficult to coach. So all the sudden porn Luke Walton at age thirty eight is sitting. In the volatile mix that he's surrounded with with a lot of bench players who are going to want minutes and make waves of if they don't get their minutes and he's got a lavar ball, sort of hanging over his head from above and you never know which night lavar is just going to go off on Luke Walton and say, the team has quit on him or he should be fired or whatever. So if this team does get off to a little bit of a rocky, start, my Mandla Shannon Sharpe says, yes, it could get off to a rocky start. Everybody thinks that this is going to become a rough mix. You know where the fingers are going to get points early on. The thirty eight year old head coach down at the end of the bench, right? And again, LeBron is going to have to help him coach his team. If in fact, he signed off on these four guys, but I'm gonna remind you. There's been a long running theme in the league that I, I heard around the San Antonio Spurs back in Stephen Jackson days, and I love Stephen Jackson, but he was considered early on in his career despite all of his game and all of his intangibles in character that he did have basketball character. He was considered a knucklehead. He could do knucklehead things in..
