 The audacity of Rob Polinka to call out Golden State. LeBron's leaving and you guys haven't been poppin' corks. You gotta be kidding me. He's been your only roadblock. The Dallas Cowboys have the 31st ranked skill position players in all the NFL. The audacity of Rob Polinka to call out Golden State. I just fell out of my chair last night. How did he call him out? Well, he's saying, we're going to take you down. That's how it's gonna come across to the Golden State. No, it's not. Who needed some Bullets and Board material. This offseason to motivate them to win yet another championship after they added to Marcus Cousins. So they now have five All-Stars and new motivation because you know and I know that Steph Curry will bring up these quotes all next year. We've seen someone beat them a game. But in order to take them down, once playoffs come along, you have to beat them four times over two weeks with arguably the second and the fifth best players in the NBA in their prime. Clay is a legit number two on any other team and Draymond is Draymond. Draymond does a little bit of everything. I like the way they're assembling this team to try to limit the points because if they start getting 1-15, 1-20, bye-bye. You're not even Golden State. In today's NBA, you still need some level of three-point shooting. And I don't know that the Lakers will have that. And I think another challenge is that this is a strategy that might be built for Golden State but you might have trouble getting past so many other teams if you don't have the shooting or the style to beat them. Now look, I think it's a good plan. Will it work against Golden State? No. If I'm building a team, what I really want is athletic wings who can score. And so LeBron and Kawhi check both those boxes. When I look at the Lakers, my concern for them right now is they're saying we're trying to build a tough defensive team. I don't know how good defensively Ray Giorondo is. I know Contavia's called well, Pope's not great defensively. There's a difference between being young or long and athletic and being a great defensive player. You're not gonna be able to get enough, enough young athletic shooters because that's what the problem is. If you try to put shooters on the court, right now the shooters in the NBA, they're typically older guys, can only play 20 to 25 minutes. And when they go down to the other part of the court, they are a liability. And we forget or we don't talk about enough, we can't forget Golden State. They're an outstanding defensive team. You're telling me LeBron's leaving and you guys haven't been poppin' corks? You gotta be kidding me. He's been your only roadblock. You never worried about John Wall and Giannis. Miami Heat, Gorin Dragic. Danny, stop. LeBron leaving, gets you to 65 wins, multiple sweeps in the east, home court advantage in the finals and I believe you'll cap it in June with the title. Somewhere, Steve Kerr is really happy. He's giggling happy right now because those two gentlemen provided his Golden State Warriors with all the motivation they're going to need as they pursue another dynastic championship next year and you do need new motivation because he can tell his team now the Lakers are preparing to dethrone us next year with this new defensive toughness of theirs and Danny Ainge in Boston is preparing to take on LeBron. He dismissed Golden State. He said you still have to play LeBron. I know the message that he's trying to send. We're not gonna overlook anybody. Anybody can beat us. But Danny Ainge like, we going. They can't anybody beat us. We're too talented, cause think about it. They had a chance to train for Kawhi and he basically said Tatum, Brown, Kyrie, Gordon, Hale, Al Horford off the table. So he's telling you, we good enough right now to get out of the east. I don't need that Kawhi. I don't need to give up no pieces. I'm good enough right now to get out of the east. What Danny Ainge is saying, look, whether LeBron was in the east or not, our goals remain the same. Get to the NBA finals and win a championship. And our confidence, our belief remains the same. That is the mentality that enabled him to take LeBron to seven games without their two best players with a 19 and 20 year old leading the way. So I love that from Danny Ainge. We talk about how LeBron has just had the Raptors number, right? Since in the last eight years, he's beat them, knocked them out of the playoffs three times. He's knocked Danny Ainge's teams out of the playoffs five times. It's LeBron and his run in the heat that made Danny Ainge decide to tear it all down. He had to. He had to, like it is, LeBron has been, there's no team that LeBron has knocked out in the playoffs more in these last eight years than the Boston Celtics. The Dallas Cowboys have the 31st ranked skilled position players in all the NFL. They have no number one. They have a bunch of twos and fuses. Literally twos and figuratively, you know what I mean by that, skip, baby. So y'all in trouble and I'ma win my dues cause you're not going to no playoffs. How can you justify ranking this skill group 31st when it has the best running back in football? All he did was, as a rookie, he led the league in rushing and all he did as a second year player was average the most yards rushing in the national football league by far. He averaged almost 100 yards rushing in 10 games last year and Todd Gurley averaged second most 87 yards a game. This is dominating running back. And if you have that guy on your side, it's over, they're at least in that 15, 16, they're at least middle of the pack. Of course, arsenals for offenses are running backs and wide receivers. Oh wait, they don't matter. The current NFL dynasty is New England. They've never had a superstar running back. They had one superstar receiver, Randy Moss. It's the year they didn't win. They have won five Super Bowls, been to eight overwhelmingly without star running backs, mostly journeymen, Rex Burkhead kind of guys, and wide receivers like Chris Hogan who nobody heard of until he was Chris Hogan of the Patriots. They ain't got a whole bunch of ballers. They ain't got no guys. They got, hey man, I got 200 yard games. I got a couple touchdowns. No, Allen Hearns, I got 1,000 yard season and he had that a couple of years ago. He's coming off a knee injury in Jacksonville where they gave up on him. I believe he's their best receiver. If you are going to get to high levels in the playoffs with weapons like this, it's usually because you have an elite defense. We're talking about the Cowboys having a pretty good defense if it works out.
