How Jokic & Doncic STOLE THE SHOW At The All Star Game
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ The All Star Game was extremely boring, but thankfully Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic gave us an actual show much better than the game. jokic made it up to the fans with that dunk, for the hilarious fake that he pulled on everybody with this. Just look at that sheepish grin. Man he’s the best. When Bam Adebayo inbounded the ball off his back and later in that possession hit the three, Joker went to the referee to complain about it. Dude wanted a technical called or what?! He was in a great mood, and this might have been the reason. Look at Doncic bargaining his way to his first points of the night. And Nikola loved it. Luka got an open dunk right here, and I guess he got hyped up so on the very next possession, he tried to get fancy with a self alley oop dunk, but ended as an epic fail. I mean, in a game where there is absolutely no defense, the points kind of lose their value, so the misses are almost more fun. Especially when they’re this outrageous. Was this a wild 2 for 1 or did Luka misread the clock? Jokic thought it was so bad that he called for Luka to be subbed out. These 2 are absolutely hysterical. Look at them acting like little kids tricking Steph Curry into getting under the basket so that Nikola would dunk on him. And you know how usually if the winner is decided, we get a few crazy dunks at the very end? Well, it was Nikola’s turn last night and… The Doncic and Jokic bromance is hilarious. Their type of humor and how well they feed off of each other is unlike anything we’ve seen in recent years. I don’t wanna make any of these 2 fan bases mad but maaan if they played together that would be priceless. So yeah, the Sunday event was almost unwatchable, but All Star Saturday was fire, and there were even some major controversies that you may have missed. So you gotta check out this video right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
EXPOSING The Hidden CONTROVERSY Of The All Star Saturday
Download the Gametime app and redeem code HEATCHECK for $20 off your first purchase (terms apply): http://gametime.co/ Hidden behind all the glitz and glamor of the All Star Saturday night, there was some hidden controversy. Whether it was an honest mistake, or a case of favoritism, I need to expose it and find the real reason for some questionable decisions that happened during the 2 most high profile events- the three point shootout and the slam dunk contest. The first round of the three point shootout was clean tho. And it was electric. Right out of the gate we had 3 guys tied at 26 points as Trae Young, Tyrese Haliburton and Karl Towns set a high bar for the rest of the guys to avoid elimination. And it seemed that Jalen Brunson would do just that, as he was in a great position on the final rack, but then… Shooting last was the reigning champion Damian Lillard. He also needed to get to 26 to defend his title in the final round. And it looked scary for him at this point, but in the clutch you know it’s Dame Time. He hit 7 of his last 8 shots to tie it at 26 and since there can only be 3 in the finals, we were headed for an extra 30 second round to eliminate one of them. And this is where things started to get a bit dicey. As Towns starts off, watch the referee and the score. On this shot he first signals for a good shot but then changes it as he sees that KAT is on the line. Ball goes in and it’s counted. Next shot it’s the same and the ref hesitates to call it, and on the last one he signals for a good shot, so Towns has 5 points on that rack. But on the replay we see that 1 foot is way in front which makes all of these shots invalid. The ref actually tries to save him and tells him to move it back. And you can see right here that he’s still toeing the line on the moneyball and the ref clearly sees it but signals for a good shot, and KAT makes it. So realistically his score was 1 right here. Towns got 4 extra points which put him in the finals over the crowd favorite Tyrese Haliburton who was playing at home. The rules were bent for Lillard as well who secured his spot in the finals, but on the final shot you can clearly see that the ball is still in his hands, but this shot counted, which gave him 16 as well tying for first, and this gave him the advantage of going last in the final round. And when it mattered the most, Towns got 22 and Young finished with 24, so that was the score to beat for Dame. We all thought that there was going to be no drama as Dame ties it right here. However he still made it dramatic. Lillard defends his title, back to back champion albeit in a bit of a controversial contest. Things were sketchy in the dunk contest as well, but before going there, I gotta give a major shoutout to Sabrina and Steph for the show that they put on. The way Ionescu started off, I was absolutely shocked and thought that the goat might be defeated. She cooled off towards the end tho, leaving the door open for Steph. But 26 is a great score as this was the highest mark in the men's competition just moments before. Thing is, Curry showed once again why he’s the goat when it comes to shooting the ball. 29, so basically the dude won the regular 3 point contest as well. Amazing. Maybe I’m overanalyzing it, but this shot makes me think that Sabrina was fighting to not show her emotions, as it was clear to me how much she wanted to win. But absolutely no knock on her, Sabrina showed everybody that she is a straight up sniper. Once again shoutout to her, and to Steph for killing it. The dunk contest is supposed to be the cream of the crop in the event. But the judges somehow managed to steal the spotlight away from the dunkers. And not in a good way. The tone was set right off the bat as Jaime Jaques jumps and windmills over Shaq, but there were a bunch of 47s on the board. This is not a 50 dunk, but it’s not a 47 either. Then there is this dunk from Jacob Topin which is deceivingly hard in my opinion. Jumping over a guy, getting the ball and doing a 180, this is not easy to do. And he also got a 47 from 1 judge. It’s Jaylen Brown’s turn, and he does a tribute to Dominique Wilkins who was one of the judges, and tries to recreate one of his famous dunks. He did just okay in my opinion, but got a way higher score than the previous 2. This dunk was not better to me than Jaques and especially not compared to Topin. Now, here comes Mac Mcclung, the defending champion. And he does something that we’ve never seen before. This was amazing, a straight 50 right? Not only was there not a single 50 on the board, but he got a 46 from 1 judge. Dude was basically like- naah this is the worst dunk of the night so far. Maaan, are you kidding me? It was on the second attempt but we’ve seen a ton of 50s for second and even third attempt dunks. In the second round Jaques did ok, and to me Topin had another nice dunk that got rated lower. Albeit, this was on his second attempt.
This Was Supposed To Be A Random Tuesday In The NBA…BUT THEN…
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ On this random Tuesday, pure chaos took place in the league. We got a bunch of wild endings, led by unlikely heroes. Then superstars going mano a mano in a marquee deathmatch that left us speechless, and a bunch of other crazy stuff that we need to go through. But we gotta start in Chicago. The Timberwolves played their usual brand of basketball and had control of the game the entire time. This 3 pointer made it a 12 point lead. But then, with their backs against the wall, Coby White decided to take matters into his own hands, and try to mount a comeback with effort on both ends. And once he felt that he might have it going we got this… White scored an astonishing 21 points in the fourth quarter to single handedly wipe away the deficit and actually take over the lead. With the game tied, the Bulls had a chance to win the game at the buzzer, buuut this tough shot by Derozan misses so we go to overtime. And Demar made sure he made up for that miss in OT. With 10 points in the overtime period Demar put the Bulls in control of the game. And along with some tough defense Chicago were able to completely turn things around and win this game in dramatic fashion. As if that wasn’t enough drama, the Thunder and the Jazz gave us another chaotic finish. The heavy favorites were clinging to a 1 point lead on the road in a thriller ending. But then, another unlikely hero steps up. The rookie Keyonte George. And with a 4 point lead at the end, now it was time for their top gun to take over and close out the game. The Jazz are continuing to be a land mine for top teams in the league and I love their effort. Moving on to my Knicks where they managed to fumble a 26 point lead in the 4th quarter and brought me close to a heart attack. Let me explain. This was supposed to be a nice and relaxed game. A matchup against the Grizzlies who’ve had so many injuries, that their team turned into a hospital this season. I mean look at the starting 5, I don’t even know half the guys on their team. Then this was a celebration of the 25th anniversary of arguably the greatest duo in NBA broadcasting. Mike Breen and Clyde Fraizer. So everything was great. Reminiscing about old times and the greatest calls while the Knicks were absolutely destroying Memphis. But in the 4th, it seemed like New York took their foot off the gas, for the first time this season. And everything went downhill in the blink of an eye. The lead started to melt, as the crowd and myself became increasingly anxious. And things culminated when… So now it’s tough, this next possession will determine everything for the finish of this game. How will the Knicks respond? Fortunately for myself, they responded like this: New York managed to save this game and made it a double digit win at the end, but the fear with 2 minutes to go was absolutely real. The Suns vs Bucks matchup was held back a bit as Dame sat this one out, and Khris Middleton got injured and left the game early. Still, Giannis was playing like the incredible hulk. 34 points and 10 rebounds for Antetokounmpo as he tried to will his team to the win throughout the entire game. But Phoenix of course have a superhero of their own. And he went chest to chest against the Greek Freak. KD responded with 28 and 10 of his own, but the thing is that the Suns just had too much firepower in this game. 32 points from Devin Booker, and 25 and 10 from Bradley Beal. This would have been a lot even if Giannis had Lillard and Middleton. Playing alone like this, it was mission impossible. Phoenix gets a much needed win to climb up just a hair out of the play in zone at the moment. Next, in Brooklyn Kyrie did something that even shocked Luka Doncic. Actually, Irving did all kinds of crazy things throughout the entire game. Beautiful layups, circus finishes, impossible threes you name it. 36 points and 5 assists on incredible efficiency. But what about Luka? Aaah, he wasn’t too far behind. Doncic dissected the defense methodically time after time on his way to 35 and 18 and 9. Yeah dude got 18 rebounds in this game. Unbelievable. This night was so crazy that even a usually chill guy like Tyrese Haliburton went chirping at Dillon Brooks after icing the game at the end. And best of all is that this madness is only going to continue. Tomorrow is the NBA trade deadline, possibly the most chaotic day of the season. There will be trades that could change everything. And I go in depth on all of those scenarios right here in this video so you gotta check it out. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
THIS Was The Beginning Of The DOWNFALL For Golden State
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Last night was insane. First we witnessed the tragic downfall of Golden State. Then we saw possibly the dumbest move of the season by the Brooklyn Nets and a bunch of other crazy moments. But first check this out. This reaction by the rookie GG Jackson is priceless. He was genuinely surprised and happy to be talking to the TNT crew. And boy he deserved the spotlight. The 45th pick in the draft destroyed the Warriors with his three point shooting on the way to a career high 23 points off the bench. But this is the thing that will shock you. Despite getting Draymond Green back, Golden State lost to this starting lineup. Jaren Jackson, Vince Williams, Xavier Tilman, Zaire Williams and Luke Kennard. Wait what?! Memphis is currently running an entire hospital with how many guys they have injured, and the Grizzlies still managed to embarrass the sinking ship of the Warriors. Losing to this team is so bad that it might have been the final nail in the coffin for Golden State. I believe that a big trade is coming for them, and honestly, if your name is not Steph, you may get traded. Moving on to Jacque Vaugn who made a decision so inexplicable that it cost Brooklyn the game. The Heat and the Nets played an intense overtime thriller. And with under a minute to go, the home team had a 4 point lead. Getting this stop would pretty much win it for them, but Tyler Herro saves the game and gives Miami hope. And with Brooklyn unable to score, the Heat all of a sudden have a chance for the lead in the final seconds. So you know who’s got the ball. Now this is the key moment of the game. On the replay you can see that this was a really clean swipe so Jacque Vaugn could have challenged it. But he didn’t want to burn his final time out, and saved it for the final possession. Which is a valid point, and I totally understand. Draw up a nice play and try to win the game. But then Butler makes both free throws and he doesn’t call the time out. He just lets the guys play it out. So of course scrambling without a plan, we got a terrible final possession and they lose the game. I was shocked by this. If you knew that you were going to let them play it out, why not take the challenge then? Why in the world did you save the time out for? Unbelievable. Ok, speaking of unbelievable, Joel Embiid is doing something that’s really out of this world. Last night he scored 41 points in a win against the Rockets and this is how the numbers are looking right now for him. 976 total points so far in 953 minutes on the court. Yeah, this dude is averaging more points than minutes this season which is staggering, and we have never seen something like this in the modern NBA. Now, I gotta phrase it like that because of course the freak of nature that Wilt Chamberlain was, he did it back in his day. But still, Joel is on a rampage right now and it seems that nobody can stop him. Let me fire up a war in the comments by asking you guys who’s your MVP so far. Things are just now heating up because this is possibly my favorite thing from last night. Detroit won another game, let’s gooo. These 2 teams have been beyond horrible this year, but fortunately for them somebody had to win this game and it just so happened to be the Pistons. All credit to Jalen Duren for his monster game of 20 points and 19 rebounds on a perfect 8 for 8 from the field. Absolutely incredible numbers. Now the bad thing is that this is still the worst record in NBA history percentage wise, so if Detroit wants to avoid this infamous title, they’ll need to get hot and win a few more games in the second half of the season. Speaking of that, Dallas got hot at the perfect moment. Down by 7 in the 4th, the Mavs went on a 21-9 run led by Tim Hardaway Jr. This completely turned things around and with a 2 point lead in the final seconds, Dallas had an interesting strategy of intentionally fouling Zion. This worked for them as Zion missed 1 free throw and on the other end Kyrie converted both to give his team a 3 point lead. Funny enough, Dallas didn’t foul on the final possession so the Pelicans ended up with a 3 point look and a chance to tie the game. Both Kyrie and Tim Hardaway Jr had 40 in this win for the Mavs and shoutout to Jr for the great season he’s having, coming off the bench. San Antonio almost did the unthinkable against Atlanta. The Hawks raced off to a 35 point lead at home against Wemby and the Spurs, but then something crazy started to happen… After going scoreless in the first half, Victor went ballistic in the second half scoring 26 points, where he looked unstoppable and the Spurs came all the way back to make it only a 6 point game. This was on the road mind you. The entire arena was stunned. Unfortunately they didn’t have enough to complete the comeback but I love the fight from them, despite the loss.
This Was The WORST Night Of The NBA Season...
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ This was the worst day of the NBA season, and I suffered through it so you don’t have to. Let me explain. Let’s start with the most highly anticipated matchup of the day. Milwaukee vs Boston was a TNT game and everyone was hyped about it. That is, until the game started and the Bucks blitzed the Celtics right out of the gate. Milwaukee went on a 25-0 run in just 6 minutes to essentially end the game even before half time. Now, credit to them, and you could see Giannis was fired up for this game, after losing the first matchup earlier in the season, and he brought the intensity for this one right from tip off. But you could also see the Celtics were a step slower, a bit lackadaisical even- almost as if they weren’t ready for this game. They did come to Milwaukee on a back to back after a tough overtime win the previous night against Minnesota, so I’m not sure if that played a role, but this was embarrassing nonetheless. The 35 point deficit at half time was so bad that Joe Mazzula did not even play the starters in the second. And TNT made a decision in the middle of this game to switch the broadcast to the Knicks and the Mavs, which at the time was just slightly less terrible. Let me actually save this game for last because believe it or not it was the most interesting one of the night. You heard EJ say how bad things were in OKC. And as crazy as it sounds, by the end it got 2 times worse. The Thunder had a field day against Portland, just look at these stats: SGA shot 11 for 15 that’s 73%, Chet Holmgren was 9 for 13, 69%, Jaylen Williams went 9 for 10 and Giddey was a perfect 5 for 5 from the field. Unbelievable. So, by the end this was a 62 point win for Oklahoma. 62. Wooow. I had hopes that maybe the Lakers and Suns would save the day in the second game of the TNT doubleheader, but Devin Booker came out absolutely on fire with 16 points in the first quarter hitting all types of shots. The Lakers actually shot the ball well at the start, 52 and a half percent from the field in that first quarter but they had 5 turnovers which Phoenix of course punished. So this was already a double digit lead. Turning the ball over 9 times by halftime, and giving up 9 offensive rebounds is a recipe for disaster, and you could even say that the Lakers were lucky to only be down by 14 at the break. But then came the third quarter and… A 16-2 run in 3 and a half minutes ballooned the lead to 28 and that’s pretty much all there was to it in this game. Yet another blowout. A game between the Cavs and the Nets in Paris deserves only a quick recap honestly. Donovan Mitchell was blistering hot scoring 45 points on 50% shooting. Cleveland got off to a 27 point lead, because of course they did it, was that type of day in the league. By the end however Brooklyn made it a decent 9 point loss. Ok, let’s now go to the most interesting game of the bunch. A 20 point blowout in the fourth quarter. Wait what?! Yeah my Knicks got destroyed throughout the entire game by Kyrie who finished with 44 points. But just watch what happens. The Knicks are slowly but surely cutting into this lead, however it’s still a 10 point game with 2:45 to go. But then… Oh my god we’re back, let’s go Knicks! All we gotta do now is just get 1 stop. Little did I know that what would follow is pure chaos. Are you kidding me?! Maaan this was tough. I love the effort from this team tho, to even come back in this game. Plus, this was the only exciting moment in the worst NBA day of the season. This was the complete opposite from yesterday where I showed you a bunch of wild thriller endings in overtime. You gotta check out this video right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
The DRAMA Is Reaching INSANE Levels In The NBA...
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Last night was insane with 3 overtime endings. Also, Victor Wembanyama was doing magic on the court, and we got a bunch more from last night’s spectacular games. So we gotta start with the best teams in the east and the west. With 3 and a half minutes to go this looked like a done deal for Minnesota, but watch what Jayson Tatum does here. He cuts not for him, but to set a screen on Horford’s man. This is winning basketball as Al is open and fires away to keep the Celtics alive in the game. The Celtics got some crucial stops in the finish as Jaylen Brown pokes it away from Edwards, and Derrick White applied the pressure in the backcourt and got the offensive foul. All of this allowed Tatum to take over in the finish, first with this strong drive to the rim, and then this: Now Boston is all the way back in the game but Tatum didn’t stop there as he got a chance to cut into the lead even more. Now, here’s a key moment in the game. Follow Derrick White here on the miss, beating everybody on the rebound to secure another possession for his team, and then the crowd explodes because… With the game on the line on the final possession, you know who’s got the ball for Minnesota. A strong drive by Edwards to get the foul and remained ice cold on the 2 free throws to tie the game. Now Tatum has the ball with a chance to win it does he have one more shot in hiiiim, juust rims out and we go to overtime. But JT would get his payback tho. Just watch this entire sequence in the clutch. This was the moment that broke the Timberwolves as Boston would go on to win this thriller matchup that had a playoff type of vibe. The Celtics have now won 18 straight games at home. Unbelievable. We gotta go to Atlanta now for another wild finish. The Hawks were in trouble, down by 4 with less than a minute to go. But out of the time out, look at the beautiful ball movement here zipping around the court, ultimately ending in the hands of Jalen Johnson who slashes inside, dunks it plus the foul. They get the stop on defense and with 15 seconds to go out of the time out another beautiful play on the cut here by Trae Young going inside and he gets fouled before the block, so he will have 2 free throws for the lead. But then the drama because… He would tie it up tho and on the final possession Trae gets a crucial stop as the help defender, swiping at the ball which ultimately went out of bounds off of Maxey. You see on the replay this was squeaky clean, no foul here and we go to overtime. And in the final minute with the game tied, the crowd erupts… Then a huge block on the other end… All of this opened up a big opportunity for Atlanta, and they were able to secure 2 free throws on this play, which Jalen Johnson converted and made it a 2 possession game with just 13 seconds to go. This ultimately proved to be enough for the Hawks to secure the win in our second overtime drama. And we’re not even halfway there because what happened here will blow your mind. Watch this as Derozan gets fouled on the loose ball. But on the replay you see that he tries to sell this a bit too much. So the refs review the play and the foul call against Houston still stands, but there’s also a technical on Derozan for flopping. What?! So in a bizarre turn of events, the Rockets shoot the technical free throw but the Bulls still retain possession. I’ve never seen this before. Anyways, Chicago was unable to score which sets up this beautiful move in the clutch by one of my favorite players in the league. And this is the thing that I hate about the NBA. This is out of the time out mind you, with a chance to win it, the Bulls get no movement and it’s just 4 guys standing around watching Demar Derozan go one on one. The Bulls almost lost the game in regulation actually on this Jabari Smith three, but nevertheless we go to overtime in yet another game. And the beginning of OT Sengun gave us some more magic. And he got fired up about it which led to this: Unbelievable moves from Alperen which got the Rockets a 5 point lead with 2 minutes to go. But then, when everyone thought that this could slip away from the Bulls, Zach Lavine comes up huge for Chicago. Then check out this chaotic sequence of events that sent the fans into delirium. What a game! And of course another one of my favorite players that I made a video about this season puts the exclamation point on this thriller ending. This was enough for Chicago to hold on in this one, as admittedly they got very lucky with some misses from Houston that were open shots. Woow, let’s catch a breather for a second with this amazing pass from Victor Wembanyama. Victor was incredible against Detroit posting a triple double in just 21 minutes. 21 minutes on the court, for his 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and you see that he is toying with the Pistons. This looked like he was playing at home on a mini hoop. Insane.
This Is A DISGRACE For The NBA…How The Refs ROBBED Toronto
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Wo where’s the foul here? Even in slow mo on the replay I don’t see how you can call this. And watch this offensive foul that was actually a flop by AD, effectively taking away this three here by Scottie Barnes. After the game coach Rajakovic was furious and delivered one of the most epic postgame rants. So let’s go and check all the questionable decisions in the fourth quarter to see if Toronto really got robbed in this game. First thing that I wanna point out is a non call by the refs. To me this is a clear extension of the forearm by Davis causing Barnes to lean sideways, and is almost always a whistle. The refs missed this. Then we got this foul on AD. Scottie Barnes plays perfect defense, but on the replay you see Quickley coming in at the last moment and pushing Davis. Although this is very slight, it is still a push so technically the correct call, and the Raptors wasted their review on this. The very next possession, after committing his 5th foul, Quickley makes another costly mistake, which basically took him out of the game. This was actually a flagrant foul and from what I’ve seen, elbow to the head is usually called a flagrant. You can see the ref explaining to Quickley the difference of having your elbows low and tucked in, as opposed to what he did. Now if they called that little ticky tack push on IQ against Davis, then this push by Taurean Prince is definitely a foul. He sent Thadeous Young flying, and obviously affected the shot, so I have no idea how this was a non call. Chronologically, we now get to the example from the intro. A ridiculous call Then, watch this: Let me play it in slow motion now frame by frame, and stop it right here to see that Barrett's swipe is on the outside of the ball. There is no contact to the arm here. Then let’s go to this angle from the replay, and watch how Christy in fact loses the ball up here by himself. This was not a result of the swipe down low. This is not a foul, but the Lakers got more free throws. And in a crucial possession with less than 30 seconds to go, we got this shameless flop by Davis, and the offensive foul, wiping out the three which would have tied the game. Instead, now the Raptors play the foul game and commit 4 fouls resulting in 8 free throws for the Lakers which inflated the numbers a little bit to 23 shots in the fourth. With 10 seconds to go on this drive by Scottie Barnes, the Raptors commentators argue that this could also be an and-1. If that was the case, then this meaningless 3 by Pascal Siakam would have actually tied the game. There were definitely some questionable calls that directly impacted the final result. But if you ask Lebron, everything was clean. Having the refs be the main actors of the game is a bad look for the league, especially when it’s happening for the second consecutive day. Check out how the refs robbed the Celtics right here in this video. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
Last Night Was TOTAL CHAOS In The NBA...
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Boston got robbed by some awful calls from the refs last night in a thriller ending. The Bucks are getting booed by their own fans and Giannis is furious. But that’s nothing compared to Phoenix who got absolutely demolished last night and the Suns are in danger to even fall out of the play in range. Last night it was chaos in the NBA and we gotta start with the controversial finish in Indiana. Both teams were hitting some crazy shots and they couldn’t miss down the stretch. And with the game on the line, needing a bucket, the Pacers go to TJ Mcconnell and he delivers with this beautiful spin to tie the game. But this is where things get interesting as Jaylen Brown goes for the potential game winner, raises up and he gets fouled. Indiana challenges the call but you can see that there is contact on the head, so since this was already called a foul, there’s no way to overturn it right?! Wooow I have no idea how this is possible, and Joe Mazula said after the game that Buddy Hield admitted to him that he fouled Brown. Now all of a sudden the Pacers have a chance to win the game. Which sets up another controversial moment as Porzingis is called for this foul right here. I don’t really see much on the replay, and to call it on the final possession especially after the previous situation, I feel like the Celtics got robbed here in this game. Despite the fact that I love Indy. Boston still had one final chance to tie the game and just look at how close Luke Kornet was with this tip in. Great soft touch by him, but unlucky bounce. Now, if they can blame the refs for this game, the Bucks got no one else to blame for this debacle but themselves. The Utah Jazz, flat out outplayed Milwaukee so badly that their own fans were booing. This looks nothing like a contending team. In fact it seems like they are falling apart. Giannis is furious and despite his viral interview where he blamed everyone including the equipment manager, I feel like most of that was to water down and hide the criticism for his coach. We have to be coached better, we have to defend better and we have to have better strategy are all shots fired towards Adrian Griffin. The entire fanbase is complaining about his stubbornness and not being able to adjust the defense which btw is 22nd. The Bucks have the 8th worst defense. There is no way you win a championship like that. Milwaukee was without Dame in this one, but he is responsible for some of this as well. Putting aside his bad individual defense, Lillard also has a bunch of bad shooting games. 2 for 12, 3 for 16, 3 for 17, 6 for 18, 7 for 18, 7 for 21… There is no reason why he should have shooting nights like these. Dame is not carrying a team like he did in Portland. In fact, he’s playing with the best player in the league right now. 42.8% from the field is ok, but it’s his 4th worst in 12 years in the league. And again, playing on a great team, with Giannis and Middleton. I feel like he should be more efficient and more consistent. And the lack of consistency is a perfect transition to the Phoenix Suns. They got destroyed by the Clippers last night. LA shot a blistering 62 and a half percent from the field and of course they would when a bunch of these shots came from right under the basket. The Clippers got to the basket at will, and Phoenix did nothing to stop them. Giving up 62 points in the paint and expecting to win that game is impossible. Suns fans would then say, ooh but LA couldn’t miss from downtown. OK let’s check out why that was. No help on the screen for PG and he’s got a wide open shot which of course goes down. In transition Phoenix is slow to get back and nobody stops the ball here so James Harden has all day to fire away and hit it. On the pick and roll Harden attracts 3 defenders around him. So naturally he just kicks it out to an open Terance Mann for the three and another one goes in. This is possibly the worst one as they don’t even know whose man this is. So Powell calmly sets up and lets it fly for yet another three. So you see now why the Clippers shot that well? You see how terrible the defense was. The offense is equally as bad. No ball movement whatsoever, and it’s just taking turns of who gets to shoot it. These are all great shot makers but this is exactly the reason why they are in this position. Number 8 in the west, in danger of falling even lower. Nobody could have imagined this at the beginning of the season? This is nothing new for the Suns and the Bucks. I actually broke down Milwaukee’s problems in depth in this video right here and you need to check it out. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
