 What's the worry y'all welcome back to the recap man. It's so crazy how this NBA season is going I feel like it is the most unpredictable season of all time. There's a lot of parody There is no heavy favorite like we've seen in the past couple years And because of that the narrative around teams can switch just like that It feels like just a couple days ago We were talking about how to use the rockets at the second best defense in the league after the james harden trade And now they got double digit losses in the row. It was just yesterday We were talking about the Miami heat struggling and now they are back on their grind So, you know, I do these recaps and and part of it is over reactions to an extent But we all know that the the landscape of the NBA can change very and I mean very very quickly I want to start off by talking about the Miami heat because they are back ladies and gentlemen Be sure to leave a like subscribe if you are new Let's talk about heat basketball because this one was a very important game for them They're going against the Utah Jazz Who's the best team in the league right now record record wise and one of the hottest teams in the league It seems like nobody can stop them. They are a legendary three-point shooting team All of those things and the Miami heat outplayed them. This was probably the best Miami heat game I've personally watched this season. I don't know. I can't really say it is the best game of the season for them But for me as a viewer, this was definitely um their best game They got production from pretty much everybody and and when they were struggling I think a lot of us kind of forgot at least If you aren't in heat nation, you may have forgot that Gordon dragic existed Right because Gordon dragic missed a lot of time and he was basically on his second game back And and when they went on that run in the bubble People were really questioning the reliability of what Gordon dragic had did and you know I had come on here like y'all will forget that Gordon dragic was just an all star two years ago So yeah, eventually you'll probably see him decline because he is an older point guard But he still got a lot left in the tank and today he showcased a lot a lot of great things And they really took advantage of the defense that the Utah Jazz were running Now, I don't really know if this is something the Utah Jazz normally do And I just overlooked it because they've been so dominant on the offensive side of the ball I have really paid attention to to how how their defensive strategy is But they were like dropping very far back on like the pick and rolls They were dropping very far back and leaving a lot of shooters and well the Miami heat Half shooters, you know I'm saying Duncan robinson slowly shooting out of his slump, which is great to see Gordon dragic productivity It will dial us in in threes, but the big thing of course is jimmy butler You know if jimmy butler had played more games He is he is a guaranteed lock in the all star game all star started when he's putting up performances like this Where he can dominate a game without hitting a jump shot The amount of bios defense is very good. Um tonight and the crazy thing is it's not like The Utah Jazz played bad like the Utah Jazz had a very good game as well The Miami heat just played better now he fans This is where things are looking up for y'all because let me look at the standings really really quick Right now they're sitting at the five seed at 16 and 17 And the bulls were just a six seed and now we're down to the 10 seed because we lost today That's that's how the standings are working today and that i'm telling you this season is just so so very weird Um, but they are sitting at the five seed on their five game win streak Let me read y'all their schedule coming up. You have the Atlanta hawks twice So you can argue is the most disappointed team in the league, especially after another loss today You have the pelicans the magic the bulls the magic the cavaliers the grizzlies Then the pacers and the things get a little bit more difficult But the next five or six games and nothing is a cakewalk in the NBA But the next five or six games can be locks of wins for y'all So you could potentially go on a double digit game win streak But again, you got it you got to go through the bulls and right now if you erase Tonight's game off the agenda the bulls have been rolling Um, but you have a lot of games coming up that are very very winnable So that that slow start is really turning around for you guys and It's exciting to watch definitely exciting to watch the next game. I did get to tune into was kings versus the pistons now I've been wanting to talk about this for the last couple. I guess weak or so But the kings were playing so bad It was hard for me to justify talking about them to a to a grain length And you know, I'm still not going to talk about them to a grain length But one of my favorite things about this season when it comes to player progression Is diaren fox's three-point shooting ability now tonight He was ice cold from the three-point range But overall in the season he has slowly turned himself into a respectable jump shooter And I'd even just like on a catch and shoot I got three seconds to get the shot up in the floor the office This man is hitting step backs and things like that which is which is great Which is great for the development of diaren fox today's game was very weird And I don't really know why I stuck around to watch this completely Maybe it was because diaren fox But they got like no productivity from their bench and they ended up getting the win And the last minute or two of this game felt like an eternity You know reviews things like that buddy heel with the template and dunk. Was it over the backfowl? Was it not Dennis Smith jr. Had a very good game, you know in his very young detrack pissing career But I just wanted to highlight Dear fox's three-point shooting ability had had it has got better. Let's talk about the bulls Last time I was telling y'all that the bulls have given me hope And it was the worst kind of thing to get hope from the Chicago Bulls And through the first three quarters, I was like, oh my god The bulls might actually be a good team Now I'm not stirring too far away from that But we we we got blown out in that fourth quarter the fourth quarter was crazy And it was it was cool to see because the suns are one of my favorite teams to watch for obvious reasons when you consider me being a Bit chris paul fan But when you see him doing the things that he do against your favorite team, it hurts It actually hurts And this is a this is the same chris paul that led a team on a comeback against us last year Y'all remember that bulls fans chris paul shakey else alexander and them came back on the bulls 20-point game and they came back and it's he did it again. He just hates us. He just hates us. Anyway Um, very good game for them that fourth quarter was dominated by chris paul being the point god really really taken advantage of The thing that he does best and that is just like Being able to control the game and then lastly Deondre Aiden at fourth quarter would look like an all-star He looked like the best player on the court for a lot of this fourth court And that's that's one of the biggest things about the chicago bulls because window carter is a very very good defender Do not get me wrong But when it comes to like one-on-one positional defense against another good big that is where he struggled as a team defender We cannot get much better than window carter The numbers will back me up on this window carter makes our defense very very good in comparison to when he's off the floor But it's when he's going against these big men that actually have a really good offensive game Or overall he may struggle because I think a lot of it has to do with his size I mean, he's he's matching up against a seven foot dude as like six nine, you know I'm saying So deondre Aiden took advantage of that Um, and it was cool. Um, devon booker came out guns blazing hot and then he slowed down In the bulls blew a game Yeah, yeah, yeah, the thing that the bulls are missing most is A chris paul light because it's only one chris paul But a god that can really control the pace and be able to settle things down When you when you need it and we don't have that on this roster in due time though I'm not saying this season particularly But I'm sure the people at the top offices are realizing the things that we need because I think every bulls fan Really realizes this that like as a we need a player that could just be like, we good as that Don't worry. Let's let's chew a little bit of clot. You know, do those type of things Um, the next game that we got to tune into was the thunder game I'm not saying it was the hawks game because the hawks disappointed me once again But the thunder game because I I somebody said on twitter You should tune in to uh to to teo maladon I want to call him teo, but I think it's teo maladon And I was like, all right, bet I'll tune in and tail was going off. I like like This is this team is so weirdly constructed It doesn't make sense for them to be as as solid as they are Who would have thought that this okc team would have the same record as the alana hawks That tells you Expectations are really weird because this is an amazing season for the for the uh for okc But also a huge disappointment for alana, but like teo maladon Very very good. I didn't know much about him coming into this season And I think in the very early of his career, maybe the first month or so He he definitely struggled george hill goes out with an injury Teo maladon comes to the start of lineup and he has been dramatic and I was listening to the broadcast This was ty Jerome's very first game a part of the team He looked great and it's so crazy that this man Lou get little door. I almost tried to pronounce his full name, but I can't do it door Be putting players in alcatraz And I feel like he's never really in foul trouble treyong was locked treyong didn't attempt a free throw did he attempt a single free throw On alcatraz on absolute alcatraz. So I really want to talk about the alana hawks is getting a disappointing me next game We should talk about oh I was really trying to contemplate if I wanted to start the episode with this player in this team specifically But let's get into a talking about draemon green Oh, yeah, if you remember draemon green cost this team a game the last time they went against this charlo hornis Same terrible year called game after draemon gets ejected after a loose ball. Yadda yadda yadda draemon ticket personal Literally ticket personal this man Is electric in the the most non traditional sense because he's not very athletic He is not speed. He is not electric by the normal definition But as an mba nerd watching the things that draemon green can do on the floor is mind boggling A lot of a lot of his assists and it did happen this see this game as well But early in the season a lot of the way they were running their offense It's like hey, here's a dribble handoff between me and steve cur. We're gonna do this 100 times a game The offense is way more free flowing than that. I think that kelly ubre had like seven dunks in the first quarter I'm not even exaggerating. He had like seven dunks in the first quarter draemon greens play making and his defense's ability is amazing And I feel like draemon's career is going to be like when it's all said and done People are gonna look back on it and be like man He wouldn't be the same if he wasn't playing with steve If he wasn't playing with clay his entire career and that might be true But it's taken away from all of the talent that really is draemon green There are not many people that can play that draemon green role Yes, it is elevated when you're playing with steve curry and clay Thompson for sure But the things that draemon green does as far as his playmaking his defense his intensity his coaching Can go across all of the other 29 teams. It's so happening. He's playing with steve curry So it looks a little bit better, you know, I'm saying, but this is another one of those games Very very ugly took a long time to get it done that fourth quarter was disgusting If you erased the fourth quarter, I'll probably come into this episode talking about draemon green And the warriors to start the show, but the fourth quarter was so very ugly Malik muck continues to get those minutes and opportunity and taking advantage of it, which is great for them Um, the miller ball another good game And I felt like miles bridges was trying to do another trace migrating impersonation late in this game after a miss free throw But it didn't really work out man This warrior team is it's so Crazy to to look at where they are now and compare it to the first two to three weeks of the season And that's why I try to talk about overreactions because I am somewhat guilty of it as well I knew that them being as bad as they were wasn't going to sustain himself But I didn't think they were going to turn into this good this fast Like right now they are they are good and they have a couple blown games like the draemon green when a couple more like that But they are good like the other night they had a game where steve curry shot like one for 10 from three And they were cool They won a game kelly uber I turn from the worst player in the league through the first two weeks of the season to being very very good again Very very good again Wiggins We always talk about wiggins as far as his defense and his progression of his defense. I don't know How true that was but it's still good. It's still good and that's what you can ask for and now that they got their centers back It's more synergy I love watching this team play and and something happens. James wiseman turns the ball over misses a rotation and draemon green gets into his ear That's what I would want if I was a player a young player And draemon bro, if you if you somehow come across these videos I'm gonna always leave the invitation out to talk about hoops on called game bro You'd be the perfect guest because when it comes to comes to called game and the visual idea I have behind this a lot of it is trying to learn from the best of the best Because even as a basketball fan, I can only see it through my eyes my own lens as a fan I will never understand some of the stuff draemon green knows and I want I want to try to understand those things And I'm sure people at home watching would love to understand those things Um, another game that I'm watching it was actually the first game of the day So I probably should have started with it Um, was he paces versus the Celtics the Celtics did a win after cardiac kimba looks like him again And for the most part the last five six seven eight games He's been really solid he had the one stinker on national tv a few days ago And that's when everybody was talking but for the most part these last couple games have been been solid The only problem with the Celtics as of right now, they can't get their three stars To all perform very well together daniel tice clutch daggers Um, robert williams timelord putting in quality quality minutes. They got a jeff teague performance two Um, but it was still close because jason tatum shot like one for nine or something like that And then when it comes to the paces bro They're they're late game offense is so bad And and you want to give it a slight pass because they traded victor lo depo and got back a guy that can't play right now I'm so happy to keres lavert Got traded because if he didn't I don't know what happens, you know I'm saying him getting straight to save his life But he's not on the court tj warren. It's not on the court and these are guys that will be offensive creators Malcolm bryden as good as he is I don't know if I see him really as a point guard. I think he's more of an off guard and I think that's where he's Strived the most um for me personally as a fan watching from an outside of looking at he strives the most as an off ball because There there are times where like he he is so good at to getting at his spots and getting to the paint Where you would want him to be maybe a slightly better playmaker to kick out to the corners We have dug mcdermot You have just a holly who had another um clutch couple shots in this game that of course didn't end up in the victory You want him to be a little bit more of a playmaker But at the end of the day, then maybe just not who he is right? He's been putting the roll right now due to injury and things like that where he has to do this type of things Either way them at 15 or 16 is a bit weird. So most some bonus though get that all start not Get that all start not and I think jason tatum has moved up to the starting lineup in the all star game The other games I didn't really get to um kawaii had a big one It looks like and then the lakers game I could not get myself to watch them because I was so focused on warriors versus hornets But didn't shoot it came back. You're right. If you enjoyed the video leave it a like um, I see y'all soon Hey hit up your favorite NBA player. Let him know I'm looking to talk to him for called game virtually, of course We have all the setup. We just tried to book more talent We got a few people that I think are gonna be super fun We already spoiled one with Duncan robison when I was on his podcast He'll be on an episode Um, some of my NBA friends like tyrese haliburn said he'll come back Because he was on the first official one or unofficial one But there are so many players that I would love to talk to Um, let him know I'm looking for my appreciate y'all. Love you call game
