00:00Um I wanted to say earlier I talked about LeBron shooting bricks like last night he

00:09missed the three so bad it hit the left corner of the glass on the bottom of the backboard

00:14and I mean it people were ducking for cover and I've always said uh it's simple if you're

00:20not shooting well it's a game of shooting well and if you're not shooting well and you're

00:266'8 260 go to the 10 Jerome I mean what is he doing he pulls up from 30 every night now

00:34and shoots these bricks why isn't he just attacking the rim there's no one that can

00:38stop him with either a layup or a dunk well uh father time may have caught up I mean let's

00:46be honest because that's what I would think you know I've always said as a coach if you're

00:50struggling to shoot the ball from deep like what do you do you drive the ball to the basket

00:55you get yourself to the foul line right and you get yourself going right especially someone

00:59as big as LeBron unless you can't and I think that's what I saw an interesting clip they

01:05showed LeBron uh a couple of games ago or maybe last game where he like he showed very

01:10little effort defensively then he walked offensively and then showed effort in the next defensive

01:15possession that was very unlike LeBron James but if you really think about it Pharrell

01:20think about like the father time guys of the guards right like Jordan and Kobe when

01:26they got older they didn't drive it to the 10 they just became really good shooters especially

01:34from the mid-range I don't LeBron's never been a shooter Pharrell so at the point now

01:40in his career at almost 40 years old if he can't knock down shots consistency consistently

01:47he doesn't have the lift consistently to go to the 10 now does that mean he can't and

01:54he won't no I'm just saying he's got to pick a spot Pharrell because father time has caught

02:00the LeBron especially on back-to-back nights so I saw a stat just a few minutes ago where

02:09JJ Redick has the same record as Darvin Hab had after 21 games same record but he comes

02:15across as this new sophisticated tough guy coach players coach hard on players because

02:24he played and I saw him dance around that subject should he play back-to-back night

02:30should he play 82 games he was such a pee he wouldn't answer that question because he's

02:35afraid of LeBron and his relationship with him the facts are is that they don't want

02:41him playing every night and he wants to play every night he's gonna do whatever he wants

02:44and he's gonna get away with it if you really think about a pro when the Lakers start off

02:49three you know right they beat Minnesota opening night which is a team that's still trying to

02:54figure it out right they have the good win versus Phoenix and he had a win against Sacramento well

02:57Sacramento has underachieved tremendously but if you start looking at games for like it's good

03:03teams right at Phoenix lost at Cleveland lost at Memphis lost I'm not counting the win versus

03:09Philadelphia because they're they weren't even Memphis already had injuries I'm not counting

03:16San Antonio that's a tight game versus Orlando home loss versus Denver home loss at Phoenix

03:22loss right at versus Oklahoma City lost lost by 29 last night to the Minnesota Pharrell if you

03:30dig deeper into these games where are the good wins if you take away the first two or three games

03:36they don't have a good win the whole year so they are what we thought they were which is an average

03:43team relying on a 39 to 40 year old player Anthony Davis has been Anthony Davis but listen at the

03:51end of the day D'Angelo Russell still a pumpkin Rehards and Moore can't get it together all the

03:56time Jackson A's Jackson who Max Christie might as well be Agatha Christie right Cam Reddish who's

04:04that guy?

04:06Like who they got?

04:08Who are they got?

04:10I don't know buddy

04:17I mean am I wrong?

04:19I mean listen
