 What's the word y'all welcome back to called game? I would say that today slated games was the best slated games We've had in an individual day and maybe that's just me being being crazy But I feel like every single game has something in it that we should talk about so we will it's a bittersweet episode Because my Bulls called it ale in the game. They probably should have won at the hands of the homie I love to see the homies be successful, but why does it have to be against my team? I told y'all when Reese was on on the show I was telling y'all how much of a silver draft he was and he is showcasing it You remember a couple episodes ago. I was saying man, the Kings don't look too fun no more Well, that's because how Reese wasn't there and today he was there and he was making all the right plays It's a game the Bulls should have won because the Aaron Fox got injured like five minutes into it Whatever we catch ale congratulations to the home. You don't have in a career night first of very very many I'd be sure to leave a like and video subscribe if you knew we do nothing around here But talk about basketball, you know called game. Let's get into it. I don't know where I really want to start Maybe let's start off from the top. We had a bunch of games started Now I will admit it right now They're gonna be a few games in this slate that I didn't get around to watching this just the art of things I can't focus on four games starting at the exact same time. You hear me? So I'm tuning in when things get close and everything start off with Pacers versus Rockets I don't really have much to say about the Rockets because we just don't know what the Rockets look like in two months Three months, so I don't want to deep dive into their their slow start other than like there is periods in this game where they Sabonis and Miles Turner on the court and they were going back with their ultra small ball lineup because Christian wasn't wasn't there and Boogie don't look great so far So they were ultra small against to a team that usually basically runs two centers. Let's be honest They run like two centers I want to say that Miles Turner, bro Give him all the love man because I'm not even just talking talking counting stats because I think he ended with eight Blocks on the day that he just talking counting stats when he is on the court The team is just dramatically different that was the eye test in that and I went up to look at the numbers And yes, they are dramatically different when he is on the court and off the court defensively like when it's just like Sabonis at the five the team gets tow up when Miles Turner's there with them man He just makes things a lot easier I'm Alka Braga for the second episode in the ride got to mention how great of a player He has been throughout the first for a couple weeks into the season I remember I was talking about how he was having an all-star type season so far and people were in the comment section like What about Sabonis just forgetting the fact that you know, it's not like one all-star per team again I won't talk too much about the Houston Rockets was out to the Pacers Continuously going out to the radar through with the entire existence of the Indiana Pacers at least as I've been an NBA fan They go into the radar go into the radar They hit the playoffs and then sometimes it makes surprise and things like taking LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers to a game seven And sometimes they just they don't do things like that whether it be through injury or whatever But you gotta admit that even with the big injuries from from like TJ Warren They've weathered the storm and they look really good. I already mentioned that Mark Hill folks went down with the injury I swear to God the moment Mark Hill folks went down in the injury and then they cut to commercial cut back And he was putting them in a wheelchair. I cut the game off I don't watch a single second left for this game And and I feel bad because mass fans have been I mean Mavericks fans have been hitting me up Can he please talk about us? Please talk about us I can't get myself to do it especially after that. It just killed my whole mood Until I got to the next game. This is what y'all are here for let's talk about Bradley Beale's 60 point game I had made a tweet. It was like six minutes left in the third quarter He had 49 points and at that point the team was down by like 16 points and I was just like I Just I just feel bad for him, right? Um, and I know the title may something say something along the lines of free Bradley Beale I don't want to see him switch teams per se But I'm just saying that like if he were to come out tomorrow morning and say that he requested a trade They're not that better not to be a single person that disagree with his decision The man has given the wise two is everything about the first couple years of his career I like the idea of people being loyal to the team that drafted them But you can only be too loyal to the point where you're wasting part of your career because there's no Construction to this roster right they made the Russell Westbrook trade I'm not I'm not about to talk about that trade again because no matter what you say about Russell Westbrook There's gonna be Westbrook haters in the comments saying something or there's gonna be Westbrook stands in the comments saying something and honestly Both of them end up wrong 90% of the time So I don't want to really talk about Westbrook but like outside of that the construction of the seam is just bad The real really weird thing for me is to see that Isaac bonga base didn't get any PT He started like the first five games of the season for them and then now he's getting DMP coach's decision and I think Scott Brooks was asked about it and He didn't even answer the question So I don't know what's going on with Isaac bonga Isaac bonga But he was one of the players that I would want to see a long side Riley bill because he brings that defense There is no reason for a team to give up a hundred and forty one points of regulation I'm not saying it's just to watch the wishes doing this because we've seen it a few times throughout the season already But even those teams there's no excuse to give up a hundred and forty one points to give up to to put up 60 A shout out to Ben Simmons for fouling him so he can get his 60 peas good guy Ben Simmons To put up 60 you can see the disgust in his face And I saw that last year when he put up 50 something against my bulls So when he was sitting on that bench you started discussing his face There's not that he wants more than to win And he can't do that at the moment and it's just just the construction of this team is bad coaching How Scott Brooks took him out of the game and basically make him cold. He's set for way too long Let's be real he said way too long And I want to give a lot of credit to the 76ers for eventually it took them three and a half quarters Or maybe even four quarters to actually play to great defense on him But part of that could be Scott Brooks sitting him for way too long man You know just just way too long and I saw statistic And this is just a weird statistic that I just feel like everything is tracked in the NBA that Russell Westbrook is two for six when he throws Alley-oops, who the hell is tracking alley-oop percentage? It's a real thing. He is two for six There's a specific play what were Bradley Beal was wide open under the basket and instead of giving him a nice chest pass or a bounce pass Russ weapons, Russell Westbrook decided to throw the oop and it ended in a turnover and it's like bro It's getting the ball it's getting the ball so I can see the disgust in his face There's times where the team was taking shots You can just see it like he was demoralized because he deserved that shot, you know I'm saying but on the other side of things a 76 or 71 Joellen be the sawmazing bro I think at the end of the first quarter Joellen be didn't have a field goal and he ended with almost 40 y'all He is he is playing differently. He is you can tell that he's just I don't want to say He's more in shape because that that couldn't that may not be the case But it's something about him that is different this year than last year last year He said his objective was to win MVP and win defensive player of the year and he didn't come out with that same energy He's coming out with that energy so far this season at least I don't know about the team is the best defensive team in the league other than today given up 136 points to a relatively bad team But the team is great offensively and a lot of that is due to Joel and be so shout out to the 76 shout out to Joe Joe Both of them I said it last episode both at the top two centers in the league have my MVP ball if I had three picks to it I'm getting it next we want to talk about the Atlanta Hawks falling on another game And there they've fallen to four and four The weirdest game I've seen of Trey young's career since the early start of his rookie season Where he's seen timid he see I don't want to say the word scared because I can't Trey young is not scared of anything It's just this is he's proven that throughout the two years of his career so far But in this game specifically it seemed like he just completely changed up his way of basketball The little flip-ups are all foul things I know people hate it but they had throughout the first couple games of the season had been a part of him and a part of the Atlanta Hawks success and in today's game I mean, I don't know did he finish with less than 10 shot attempts if he there's no reason a guy of his caliber of his Offensive caliber to end with less than 10 shot attempts and a three to seven turnover race That is ridiculous Trey young there. I don't there's no excuse for that. I'm sorry. There's literally no excuse for that I don't care who's defending you and it's not like the the Charlotte Hornets a little dirt, you know I'm saying that they don't have the defenders. I don't know. He's got to be in his own head There's no excuse for that one. There's just no excuse for that one for the Charlotte Hornets I Understand Devonte Graham is their guy last season, but I'm I'm not even a fan of the team But I'm getting tired of seeing him in that game when he's having the bat We're like the last couple games look at his game log, please He is getting maximum starter minutes when he is not performing to that caliber Lamello only playing 20 something minutes in his game is kind of criminal considering how good he had been in those 20 minutes When Devonte her game is getting 40 minutes when he can't score a basket Shout out to to Gordon Haver if having his best game as a Charlotte Hornet, but there has to be a point Will Lamello is getting more minutes than that unless I'm not a Lamello lover hater or whatever I'm just telling the how it is he deserves more minutes than the 23 he got today Especially when the guy that he's playing under is playing like trash. It just is Trey young I don't know. I'm guessing that we gonna get a bounce back game But this is a couple really bad losses for them a couple really bad loss of them And I understand all the injuries they have but still this is this is this is not a game They should have lost. Oh Boston versus he I'm telling you it was a so much great basketball today Boston versus heat Is one of the better ones even though the boss itself. It's almost gave it away They were this close and I feel like I've said that a lot But it's a third game out of their nine games that ended in a buzzer beat or a game winner And today it was Peyton Pritchard. He is just becoming he's gonna be the all-time leading Jersey seller and boss of Celtic history by the time his career is over because he is just everything that the boss of Celtic fans could have Wanted just just everything it's hard for that how you want He's everything the boss of Celtic fans could have wanted and there's no excuse for As good of a run they were trying to put together talking about the Miami Heatwood Ducket Robbs and Henny's 3 is late in game that they give up that many offensive rebounds that they gave up in the last couple minutes Especially to the guy that is 6-1 6-2 Payton Pritchard a couple big offensive rebounds this game and none bigger than than the tip I mean, this is one of the better games for the Miami Heat I'm not gonna be one of those people that's saying everything that they did in the bubble is fraudulent This is one of their better games one of the best Jimmy Butler games of the season I think they're still trying to put together the rotation Because Eric Sposter doesn't want to start going tragic and then one thing that was really weird in this game That I don't know how often he's done it this season because I'll be honest with you I've been hit a miss with a heat game so far Well, I saw a lot of minutes with Tyler hero and Gordon George going to court together And I'm just gonna say that is a recipe for disaster defensively and in those minutes I don't know the statistics say but I test told me that they were getting dominated So I don't I don't know the rotation looks like Kendrick Nugget minutes eventually I don't really know it's crazy that he went from an all rookie team player He's looking like potentially the rookie of the year early last season to get in DMP coach's decisions very very quick the next get another quality win in the Utah Jazz and and Rudy gobera could dominate the two games in the road This is as bad as it could get for for Rudy gobera. He is down bad I noticed that line says 14 12 and 5 I ain't feel that because Julia's random Is giving that boy buckets putting his shoulder down getting the Rudy gobera's chess and dominating him and Julia's Randall Not an efficient night, but dominate it. Is that possible? Yes It is an austere rivers to come off the bench and it's the same thing that I mentioned last time we talked about the mix How Tom Thibode was gonna roll out with our best guys in his case It was austere rivers instead of RJ RJ was on the bench and one thing I love to see and you don't see this often A guy like RJ on the bench when you know, he could he could be super upset that he's not closed Not the game he was on the bench geeked up for austere rivers that is teamwork That is a team. New York is putting it together a quality win for them And I can say the same thing today as I said about the Utah Jazz yesterday's episode that they have these periods of time Well, they literally can't score with the office is give Donovan Mitchell the ball And if Donovan Mitchell can't put it in the basket, then I guess we don't score for four possessions It's it's bad on the Bucks game I literally then watch a second of and that's kind of been the recipe for me for the Bucks I just I just assume that they're gonna dominate, but it says that Jeremy Grant hit 30 I'm gonna have to watch that eventually. Let's talk about a couple games left Utah versus the pelicans people have been really misinterpreted my Opinions on I didn't even realize that my hat looked that bad for 12 minutes I people are misinterpreting my opinion on like the Stephen Adams trade and the Stephen Adams signing also So let me let me pull it out there and really full-fledged tell you guys when they made the trade for Stephen Adams I was completely confused because the idea of having Stephen Adams and Zion wins and play together Just I think it's a recipe for a lackluster offense not saying anything negative about Stephen Adams Not saying anything about negative about Zion, but as a pair Offensively it on paper. It did not look like it was going to work and what happened I'm not just saying for today But what has happened for a lot of these games this season the spacing is terrible and they have no Shooting Stephen Adams said one of his best games is the part of this team and it didn't matter because when they When the things are going down they didn't have any space and not to mention JJ Reddick went out He is their spacing so it resulted in the Q Alexander Walker having to be that spacer and Lonzo having to be that spacer and they couldn't perform there Right. I understand that when Zion and and Stephen Adams on the court together defensively they dog the glass there They're good But you also have to score and they haven't been able to do that with this lineup That's all that's all I was really saying People were trying to take it as me taking shots at the at the team. It's not it I'm not taking shots the team. It's just a fact that I mean I would guess that the numbers support me here You're not gonna win. Let's be honest. You're not gonna win a basketball game when you hit four three pointers. You're not Very rarely will you and this is a team that you should have beat Shout out to Darryl's Bayes. He's putting it together. Y'all he's putting together throughout the season Say Gil just playing the pass of lanes like a madman and they got George Hill doing this thing Last possession Lou Dorr putting the clamps on Brandon even getting the ball out of his hands and relying on the key Alexander Walker to make a shot. That's great defense. But yeah I don't know the recipe is for the for the pelicans because obviously they are talented enough to be a playoff team 100% they have a lot of talent on this team But they got to figure out the space of thing because it's hard to watch for one It just is it just is I mean Lonzo ball started off the game pretty solidly and then ended up terrible because they Was just allowing him to shoot the last game. I didn't really watch much of son's Raptors I don't have anything to say about the Raptors that I haven't already said in an episode I Pascal heard y'all talking and I guess he had a good game But it didn't matter because they still lost and then the Bulls briefly again I think I mentioned at the top of the show Tyrese absolutely killed us I still don't understand the drop coverage on the pick and roll for window Carter And this is also something that Stacy King has said on the Chicago Bulls call He doesn't defend the pick and roll like anybody else on the team So if you want if you're a Bulls fan, please pay attention to the way with window Carter Defends the pick and roll and compare it to when we're small ball and Thaddeus young in the game or when Daniel Gafford is in the game And the turning point of this game All right, maybe not the turn point of the game But that one of the most crucial possessions is when it was a pick and roll with buddy healed Garrett Temple was guarding him and and window Carter was so deep under the rim that buddy He was getting such an open look and Garrett Temple fouled him from behind Like we should be able to get a hand up on on those three-point attempts and the same thing happened in the game against the Trailblazers where we won luckily CJ and Dame could have hit those shots But those are such good looks for elite shooters like buddy healed Dame and CJ, you know, but overall still bad loss of the Bulls I'll talk about the full slate of games. I Don't know how many games that was a lot of them I'm sorry for the games. I didn't get to but you know, you just can't watch every single game Hope you enjoyed you did leave it a like subscribe if you're new. I see y'all soon call game
