00:00 I would feel the first thing you look at is coaching.
00:09 Is that unfair?
00:10 Am I being misguided here?
00:12 Absolutely not.
00:14 And Kevin, let's make sure people understand this.
00:18 It's every game of this series and it's every game of last year's series.
00:24 So we're talking seven games.
00:26 That's why, Kevin, coaching, people don't think coaching can win and steal your games.
00:33 I don't think coaching can steal your games, Kev, but coaching can lose you games.
00:38 And this team fails to adjust.
00:42 They don't get stopped when they need it.
00:45 They don't, I just, I look at this roster and I think LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin
00:52 Reeves should be enough to steal a game in the playoffs.
00:57 Unless you're at a deciding disadvantage because of coaching and because of GM malpractice.
01:07 Now we have sat there and Kevin brought up two teams last segment.
01:13 Nets and the Lakers.
01:17 If Sean Marks and Rob Pelinka still have jobs after this season, I want to know what
01:23 they have on their owners.
01:24 I really do because as soon as this series lined up, I said D-Lo, yikes.
01:31 Yikes.
01:32 Alright, so they went and they got Gabe Vinson.
01:37 Right?
01:38 They went and got Gabe Vinson from Miami.
01:39 I know he got, he was hurt during the season.
01:45 But you mean to tell me that this guy has played 8, 15, and 20 minutes and they're
01:52 letting D'Angelo Russell chuck the ball all over the gym and then when he is not
01:58 playing well, he is the ultimate take my ball and go home.
02:03 Mr. I eat peanut M&Ms and look at my cell phone during a timeout.
02:06 If I was LeBron James, I would have knocked him out in that huddle.
02:11 Or I'm sorry, outside the huddle.
02:14 But this is what LeBron is dealing with.
02:16 It's LeBron, AD, and the pips.
02:19 And it's a shame that their play in this series, you know, is going to be completely
02:27 overshadowed.
02:28 The fact that LeBron last game, 26-9-6.
02:34 60% from the floor.
02:37 AD, 33-15-3.
02:38 And he can't win.
02:41 I mean, Kevin, it's embarrassing and I'm wondering what is the next move because they
02:50 basically are trading D'Angelo Russell one year entirely too late.
