 What's the word y'all welcome back to call game Kenny for real whatever you want to call it We had three games today two of them nasty televised and they were pretty fun But I couldn't even enjoy it be sure to leave a like on the video subscribe if you are new I'm definitely gonna be given a lot of NBA opinions in today's video. You may disagree that's completely okay use that comment section We have built this community of rational NBA fans that could disagree and still have this conversation So be heard in that comment section the reason why I could not enjoy these games is because of the call It is so crazy how the nasty televised games are so much worse on the commentary than just like individual team Commentators, and I know they are at a disadvantage because they're doing remotely But whether you're in the arena or in your bedroom. There is no excuse To continue to call the nastest onto the combo the younger on time to combo like what? How do you say that five times in the game and none of your producers in your IV is like yo, yo Chris He's not he's actually the oldest he's actually the every time the nasa's touched the ball did anything Well, he's actually younger on to the code. No, he is not He's just not and then you throw that on top of them talking over each other the weird mouth sounds you it was ASMR But I don't want to just mute the game because I like hearing the squeaking of the shoes He's just hearing about ball bounces part of basketball So I couldn't really enjoy too much But I guess that leaves us to talking about this first game Which is the Lakers getting a win over the Milwaukee Bucks And I think the title this video has to do it are the Lakers still the favorite to win it all Because obviously the booking that's made significant moves with their three all-stars I shoot three superstar players the Bucks are a championship quality team And there are a lot of things going on around the league when it comes to get tenders But games like this have me somewhat convinced that I would still probably put my money on the Lakers to win it all and I know that's saying a lot Especially when you consider Brooklyn and how good they could potentially be But this is like just such a complete team Anthony Davis so far this season hasn't been the Anthony Davis that we know and it hasn't really mattered LeBron has coasted through most of this season except for the ones where he's like going against Yanis because I think I think him and Yanis got a little beef especially since the crown incident So he makes sure that he comes out to play against Yanis And when he wants to come out to play where he's an MVP player again And that's probably one of the reasons why if I'm ending the season right now He is still top three in MVP even though he has been coasting He might be number one in MVP honestly Because when he is coasting He hits that switch in a lot of these quarters the fourth quarter whether it be like against the grizzies against the bulls You know those are games that were close through three quarters. The LeBron is like, okay I'll play basketball today was one of those days like I'm gonna play basketball from the start And just remind people at home that I'm still the best player in the league It just it just was that and then not to mention They just have so many weapons of players that played that role didn't shooter bad game from him But guess what alice caruso came in and played amazing defense was getting steals getting rebounds playing alice caruso type ball And cow kuzma though he finished with five points a shot 33 percent from the field his impact was felt When kuzma plays defense, you can notice it and as long as kuzma's playing at least decent defense He's getting rebounds. He's chasing loose balls. He's going to be valuable on your team So anthony davis again struggled tonight But defensively he was all letting the bag of chips the way montrez harrell marcus saw anthony davis garden yannis was beautiful So that has me thinking that they're probably Still the favorite especially if kcp is playing like his finals nvp kcp moments, you know what i'm saying? So all that being said let me know in the comment section. We think about the lakers Are they still the favorite but let me let me talk about the other team here because well I'm a little bit afraid from the bucks Now i don't want to beat a dead horse because we talked about the bucks and their struggles when they do struggle A decent amount and you know what i feel kind of like a hypocrite because when the bucks are playing really good I find myself just kind of being like it's the bucks. You know what i'm saying? They'll be good But when they end up being bad i come out here and talk about it So my apologies But a lot of things that that we see as i see is the problem with the milwaukee bucks came to the surface today And it has to do with the way they defend they put together this defense over the past couple years That turns out to be top five number one defense in the league But there are big holes in it right when they're going against these great teams like the lakers like like um I guess i'm counting the utah jazz and it's two when they go against these great teams They get absolutely torched from the three point line Thinking about their losses this season at least in their recent losses all of them have come From the top three-point shooting teams in the league They give up these open shots and you know what part of this has to do mic boon hoser again I don't want to beat a dead horse because we talked about how I think that if mic boon hoser is a coach of this team I don't know how they win a championship But his defensive scheme just allows so many open threes and the great teams are going to hit those The reason that they lost in the finals wasn't just because the defense built the wall and prevented them from scoring They also gave up a ton a ton of shots to the miami heat and that came To reality again today kcp had possessions In that corner where he caught the ball. He thought about what he was going to eat for dinner He sat his feet. He checked the temperature in the arena and then shot the ball He had so much time the closest defender didn't even want to close out But that is the type of defense that this team plays Against the average and below average teams. This will work 90 percent of the time But when you go against the elite of the elites, it just will not work And that is just their defense. I want to talk on the offensive side of the ball Yannis took a step back these last couple days, bro. I'm being honest with you Earlier in the season he wasn't playing like i'm going to dribble through you And i'm either going to get called for a charge or the ref is going to call the block All of this game he was just trying to go straight through people and earlier in the season He wasn't really doing it In this game for some reason whether he was in his own mind He was like I got to go straight to the basket straight to the basket And that's how you end up with seven turnovers In the first half and again that goes to why I say the Lakers are still a favorite They played amazing defense to force him to have seven turnovers and him not to have his second free throw tip until the second half We're talking about yannis here who's drawn some of the most fouls in the league It's just the offense is very weird Chris chris middleton as good as he is as lethal as he is this game Particularly he wasn't as aggressive if you want him to be um, I don't understand what tori craig Why tori craig doesn't get any minutes in a regular season game But the nazis does and the nazis wasn't terrible today But tori craig was playing like decent amount of minutes on a team that went to the conference finals last year He was starting for a good majority of that season before geary harris came back But he can't he's getting dmp's coach's decision And I had to make sure that he wasn't like entered or something He got clear like last week and he still can't get pt And it's confusing to me especially since the rest of their team on the bench Like the guys that they signed two hit three pointers aren't hitting three pointers So tori craig can like help you defensively and the last thing I want to say about this game I know it's a lot, but I mean it was the biggest game of the night is the last two games Against brooklyn and against the lakers in this one When it came down to the nitty gritty the last couple possessions when it was a close game I don't know how we have a defensive player the year player Not guarding the other team's best player or even close to it. Anthony today who's been guarded by pat conaton Which is very weird to me, but pat conaton held his own No, this is back to pat conaton. He was holding his own again. Anthony davis and have a good game But he was and the yannis wasn't guarding anthony davis or lebron and then the previous game When they hit the big shot Yannis was guarding jeff green if i'm not mistaken and I understand he plays like I think his role on the milwaukey bucks is the safety in the passing lanes help defense He's amazing at but when the team needs a stop I would want my defensive player of the year player guarding the ball, right? I know yannis ain't the most laterally quick, but it's lebron. It's not like we got I'm asking him to guard kairi I'm just I don't know. Let me know in the comment section you think about that But I would like to see the defensive player of the year get like good defensive plays Late in the games get the stops that you need Um the next nasi televised game was the jazz getting a win over the pelicans and Jazz fandom has been all in my mentions over the past couple weeks like talk about us talk about us talk about us Here we go. I'm happy to see y'all having this type of resurgence after what happened in the bubble and a lot of that Um, the three one lee i'm not solely basing on boyan. I'll be in there But obviously he was a 20 point per game score for y'all and everything This year seems like a year of chemistry for y'all But I don't want to sit here and talk about y'all being a contender just yet Because even last year y'all went on like a 12 game win streak and I was super excited about y'all back then I just want to see y'all put it together in the postseason. That's all I really care about You know i'm saying i'm happy to see mike holly playing better I'm I'm I guess right now jordan claus will be like top three and in six-minute year Maybe number one, but then again like chris boucher and stuff like that He's having such a great season and and he is a streaky type shooter I would hate for him to play this well this early in the season and have the middle of the season He's kind of bad and then you get to the playoffs and then he's you know, you know I'm saying um, but I'm happy to see you guys playing so so very well Dono Mitchell had a superstar caliber night today from dropping to kill alexander walker To doing some of those wraparound passes. He's done over the past week or so And he's just playing overall great basketball Me and my girlfriend watched the first half of this game together and and I was telling her or you know Just having banter talk telling her or teaching her about the game basketball And I was talking about how bad of a shooting team the pelicans were and the pelicans came out and became the best Shooting team at least in the first quarter and she was like Are they going to continue this and I was like no the jazz is a good defense They're going to adjust and they did and it was like night and day between the first quarter to the next three quarters They clamped up on the defense side of all we go bare head another good game and Donovan Mitchell Joe Ingalls off the bench has been working very well for them Derek favorites in the limited minutes that he is playing. He still holds his own down low Especially against a team that was trying to bully them down low. So overall good win. I'm happy for y'all Bojan has been as great this season as he was last year But I'm sure with a little bit more repetition because I mean he was one of those players That basically hasn't played basketball since march Since the initial shutdown because he had his surgery So he basically went eight or eight or so much without playing professional basketball So I'm sure he'll get back into it But I like that this team is being competitive and they're playing very very well Talk to me again once we're later in the season or we're in playoff time And we'll see how much of what we're seeing right now is real versus Something else, you know, I'm saying but congratulations on being I guess the second best team in the league record-wise So quickly talking about the pelicans Like I told my girlfriend that shooting in that first quarter was a fluke Is just not who they are and then they they revert it back to the old sales where Eric Bledsoe It's kind of like the scapegoat a lot of times were two seconds on the shot clock They just give it to him like he's the vet just shoot it just shoot it just shoot it And he does shoot it and it's it's a brick. I mean Brandon Ingram and Zion both are such great players The rest of the team just isn't orchestrated well around them, but in due time That's what I feel like I feel like in due time things will eventually turn Um, I'm Stephen Adams as good as he is it still surprised me that they they extended him so quickly Um, again, he is a very good player But when you you're playing with Zion and a bunch of non-shooters Stephen Adams is kind of a weird player to have there So that's all we have to say about the pelts and then this last game bro. I'm not spending time on the last game I had to cut this one off. I'm sorry. This was the weirdest officiated game I've ever seen at least in this season in recent history Every couple seconds was a whistle and it led to Draymond Green getting ejected but fouls on fouls on fouls I'm like bro. Give it a rest Nobody's here to watch you blow your whistle mr. Referee And I'm not saying he favored one team or another but it was just hard to watch visually It wasn't a good game shout out to rj barron who's playing with way more confidence this season than last year It's all you want from your from your young up-and-coming players and then julia's rando having another good game I don't know how Draymond green got ejected in this one. That's all I really have to say Thank you so much for watching this episode if you enjoyed it Be sure to leave it a like and I'll see y'all very soon call game
