 What's the word y'all welcome back to called game man, this is a crazy day that boy were the word Dale Steffi Curry is you know when people start acting up you got a call about a full government name Wardale, Steffi Curry decide to act up today 62 62 points in a regular season game is Ridiculous, especially think about everything that they're going through as a team Well, you don't have to guard Kelly Ubrey You don't have to guard Jermon because he still has a score to field goal in these two games You don't really have to guard Wiggins unless isolation situation For him to drop 62 on a on a good team to the Portland Trailblazers is ridiculous I may have to go out there and get those curry eights because apparently they just turn you to a shooting guy What's up? Welcome back to called game be sure to leave a like subscribe if you are new We do nothing but talk about basketball around here So see if you're subscribed and hit that bell so you never miss an episode of called game All right, let's start from the top of today's slater games a little PSA Just because your team's name is not in the title doesn't mean I don't talk about your teams I've been seeing people say on Twitter they have not watched the recent episodes of called game because I won't talk about their team And I look at their bio and the team is Philly and we talked about Philly so much this week Just because your team's name is not in the title of the video don't make I don't talk about them I can only talk about or put so much in the title. Let's talk about the first game though This is one of those days where the first game started significantly earlier than the other one so I really got to sit down and pay close attention to Boston versus Detroit and Detroit got the first win of the season against Boston a few days ago So this was like the Celtics revenge and I'm kind of liking the way this is going because of the COVID stuff Where a team is in the city for two straight games So you get to get the splits and you know a little revenge because you think about it If somebody hit a game winner on me in a regular season game most of the time I don't see them to three months later and maybe I ain't even upset about that one game that we lost against them But this is like that good old back-to-back against the same team and then People have been asking me to talk about Jaylen Brown more everybody should know my opinion on Jaylen Brown If you follow me on Twitter, you know that Jaylen Brown is one of my favorite players He is one of the guys that I would love to build a team around his defense is great on the ball mostly He's getting better off the ball, but his defense is great And then his his offensive game has evolved is evolving every single day this guy if he keeps playing like this He's an all-star this year and the course Jason Tatum hits the shot He called game, but I want to talk a little bit about the pistons because When Jeremy Grant decided to go to Detroit It was mostly because he wanted to see an increased role than what he had been seeing with the Denver Nuggets Hey, we were questioning or I was questioning. I'm not gonna speak for everybody What that could look like for Jeremy Grant and now I feel like an idiot because Jeremy Grant if you look at it Every single year. He's got better and better and better you think about him on those tanking Philadelphia 76ers teams to where he is now he has got nothing but better So it's bad to me to kind of doubt the idea of him being a one option Even if it is on the bad team and he has proved me wrong throughout the first couple games of the season where he Actually looks good doing more than like when he was in Denver He was a great defensive guy But a lot of the points that he saw was I catch a shoot and now he's creating his own shot and things like that I still don't know what's going on with Blake. I don't I think maybe there's an interview or maybe I'm tripping where he was like He wants to win a championship and obviously he can't really do that right here And in the last couple minutes of this game, he was just really bad Really bad offensively and defensively and a lot of times in this game He just resulted to be a basically a spot-up shooter which is different from what I've seen from Blake throughout his career So I don't know what's really going on there, but I hope that Blake gets better You know I'm saying another one of those losses for the Detroit pisses We're like there are things to take away that are positive and you're still taken for potentially getting Kate Cunningham Let's get to I think it's gonna be the title of this video Talking about the Brooklyn Nets who lost today to the Wizards a the Wizards get their first win with Russell Westbrook And the lineup a big win for them And that's two in a row if I'm not mistaken and then we have the Brooklyn Nets losing another game You think about where it started this season where they looked unstoppable to the first couple games of the season things have halted Significantly for the the Brooklyn Nets and one thing I've noticed is that since Spencer did what he has gone down Not many people talked about Spencer did what he going down Of course everybody knows that he's an important part to this team, but there are people like without him They'll still be fine. They'll still be solid Which is kind of true But he plays such a big role for what they were trying to do now understand before he got injured He wasn't shooting the ball well, but he adds an element of playmaking to that starting lineup that they don't have Kairi is great KD is great But neither of those two players we would consider playmaking players and Spencer did what he kind of was that there's like There's a mixture of no playmaking and bad defense in their rotation right now And that was one of my biggest question marks for this team going into the season It's like who do you trust on the wing to guard anybody the answers like Kevin Rant isn't approved Defended throughout his career, but I'm not trusting Kevin Rant to really lock down Cabriolet is not gonna lock down and then like this is one of those games like Jared Allen statistically I'm looking at it 14 11 four blocks. I didn't feel that during the game. I did it Ham and DeAndre Jordan got killed and then they got killed so much that it resulted to Steve Nash decided We're gonna play small and then they played small and Thomas Bryan was out there eating This team got out rebound on the offensive side of the glass and it was significant They could not stop turning the ball over and they didn't play any defense and that whole defense thing is is one thing that's going to Be the factor for a lot of the games this season because as good of an offensive team that they can be because they have KD and Kyrie and shooters if they not stopping nobody who gives a damn about KD Kyrie and shooters Like every it seems like every one of their losses and I would have to go back to really look at this But off the top of my head they had Thomas Bryan destroying them I sat at the Thomas Bryan because he is continuously offensively just been so good this season Thomas Bryan destroyed them Click a pillow was really good against them John Collins like they they are lacking defensive impact Especially on the inside and you think about guys like Jared out You think about guys of like DeAndre Jordan you would expect them to be good defenders That's kind of the reputation they have as an NBA fan, but when you're watching them play They don't have that whatsoever So the lack of rebound and the no defense is really gonna be a problem for for this team and as of right now y'all The Knicks are a better team Who would have thought who would have thought that so they got a they got to figure those things out There was something Steve Nash He showed his age as a as a coach today And I know he's missing some players So rotations will be weird and rotations are weird across the entire league because of the short and short and off season everything Rotations were weird and then that draw up of the last play was definitely just bad Even though they were this close to winning because that shot that Kevin Arang got the second shot It's probably a shot. He makes 80% of the time So maybe I'm overreacted to some things, but you have to get to the point where there are some guys on this roster That should be getting some PT Bruce Brown was known as a really good defender in in Detroit and when they try to form I was like, oh snap. That's their defender. That's that wing defender right there I don't know if I've seen him on the court this year and if it was it was like garbage time minutes I don't know Timothy Lwawukaburo. I love Timothy Lwawukaburo But if you substitute him for Bruce Brown in the starting lineup I think everything will be okay because that allows the second unit to have a little bit more scoring There's just saying here Karris Leverk do it Because sometimes Kevin Karris Leverk can't just do it So adding another guy to their second unit that can score the ball would help and that could be TOC and the Bruce Brown It can just come in to be all of the defensive impact. You got to shoot and Joe Harris You got to shoot in Katie and Kyrie. You don't need Timothy Lwawukaburo there as well You get what I'm saying? So I would I would experiment with getting Bruce Brown some minutes And maybe he's an overrated defender But I've always seen him as a good defender when he was in Detroit But granted I didn't watch too many Detroit Piston games over the past couple seasons So am I worried about what the Brooklyn that's got going on right here slightly? Slightly Which I don't know how the NBA season works This can all be changed in a week and we'll be talking about them on a five game win streak The next game that I watched I did not watch Lakers Grizzlies And I didn't have any interest in there Especially with all the injuries the Grizzlies were going through even though for a lot of this when I was just checking scores They were into the game. I obviously they didn't win it Didn't watch a much of Denver versus the the Timberwolves, but the parts that I did watch Hey, my boy composes all going cool was today his career high in the NBA 15 points, bro Composals fun. He just is and I knew he was gonna be fun because when they signed him when it was announced He was gonna come over. I looked them up. I was like, who was this guy? I've never heard of him I don't follow any basketball outside of the NBA very small amount of college basketball gets followed by me and then Euro League Count me out because I don't know anything. So when I watch the highlights, he was fun He was a short king. He's passing ability was amazed It's like give him some minutes and today he had his best game as an NBA player Included some steals which is great to see a short king out there prospering speaking of short kings I need Isaiah Thomas on the roster. I don't care which roster it is get Isaiah Thomas another contract Jazz for the Spurs got no time for me The Bulls got a win and against a Luca Liss Dallas Mavericks and I'm gonna say I Have decided to never bet on on anything sports related again today was the first day I've ever made a bet on like fan duel or yada yada yada This is not a promotion But it takes out the enjoyment for me as a fan I bet on the Bulls to win because it was like no Luca my Bulls better win So when they announced that Luca was out I put a hundred down and this is the most stressful I've ever been as a Bulls fan and that is saying a lot just because I had $100 on the line I won't do it again. I'm taking all that money out deleting the app I will not be gambling anytime this season Clippers sons I want to give a lot of credit to the Clippers for winning this game But I also want to give a lot of credit to the sons because at one point I had stopped watching because it was a quick 20 pointer and then end up being I think at the max 31 point lead and they slowly fought back they slowly fought back and they turned it into a respectable game But you had a Paul George game and we've talked about it plenty of times before but when Paul George is on He is on and there's not many people that can stop him today was one of those days So if Paul George could continue to keep his foot on the gas pedal man We're talking about great things about Paul George again for real. We're talking about great things So shout out to them for getting that win even though It was looking rough for a second yet the biggest lead 31 is kind of rough and then the last game of the day We already kind of talked about it with Steph Curry doing what Steph Curry can do Against the Portland Trailblazers. This is something I would consider a bad loss for the trailblazers Now they did have it where they had a legendary player put up a legendary night Literally Steph Curry career high night, but he doesn't put up a career high if they're their coverage is on the pick and roll Is a little bit different Enos cancer Played I think the entire fourth quarter one of my favorite things to do is to watch a game as a Neutral fan with someone that is a fan of the team So my friend emails is a big part of trailblazer fit and we were watching this game together and see his reaction to stuff It was just amazing and his main reaction was why the hell is Enos kander getting so many minutes All use of nerkage is really struggling to start off the season and where are defenders at? Where's Derek Jones, Jr. Because we need some length for it for Steph Curry I just love to see Steph Curry do great things during my green is yet to score a bucket this season It will it will come eventually you you already saw his increased playmaking and how much it has helped this team It's significantly in this game. So I'm I'm excited to see what they can do For the rest of the season, I'm not expecting to make no run or anything But Eric Pascal set out to the homie think that they said four consecutive games with him scoring double-digit points off the bench And they're gonna need that type of production. I think that's it That's today slated games what I thought about them if you did enjoy be sure to leave it a like called game
