00:00So of the three games yesterday that now have Minnesota 3-1, Boston 3-1,

00:05and Indy 3-1, they're all toast, right?

00:09Yeah, they're all toast.

00:10I mean, listen, you could think that LeBron and Luka could find a way

00:13to get, you know, more help and kind of win that game.

00:16But let's be honest, we were waiting for Ant-Man to explode.

00:19He went 25, 25, 29, and 43.

00:21They can't stop him.

00:23In regards to Milwaukee, can we start the Giannis watch now?

00:27I mean, Giannis did a coup ball before the season and said,

00:30basically, they needed to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

00:33Now, I thought if they were competitive in this series and lost,

00:37then they would think, okay, maybe I'll run it back.

00:40But now, he's in his prime.

00:43He looks around the East and says, what do you mean?

00:45Like, the sixth best team in the East over the next couple of years?

00:48We got to argue with one of the worst coaches.

00:50I hope you're okay.

00:51He's one of the worst coaches in the NBA in Doc Rivers.

00:55At the same time, he's going to probably miss all of next year.

00:58Watch Giannis, folks, ask for a trade out of Milwaukee after the season.

01:02So, let me ask you, Coach.

01:05Do you think that game time will ever be the same?

01:09It's really hard.

01:11You think about back in the day when someone like Dominique Wilkins,

01:14you know, who played with more athleticism, right?

01:17Tore his Achilles.

01:18It kind of really affected his game.

01:20I don't know.

01:21He's up there.

01:21He's, what, 34, 35 years old?

01:23And this is, you know, one of the great, you know, big game shooters of all time or recent memory.

01:30That's now out for the year.

01:32I guess you could say that.

01:34I guess.

01:34I mean, he's got nothing to show for it.

01:36But I guess he can score a lot on a team that nobody cares about in Portland.

01:41And then he can score not as much in Milwaukee as he ever did in Portland.

01:45So, I think he's on the way to being finished.

01:49Well, I think you made a good point.

01:51He's a great statistical player.

01:54That's it.

01:54But he hasn't done anything in the playoffs.

01:56And he hasn't done anything when it mattered.

01:58Now, listen, last year you were going to say, well, Giannis was hurt last year.

02:01That's why they didn't make a run.

02:02Okay, maybe.

02:03But at the end of the day.

02:04He talks a lot for a dude that doesn't have any rings.

02:07Rings?

02:08Has he made it?

02:09How many times has he made it past the first round?

02:11I mean, hey, that's the bigger question.

02:13So, yes, great statistical player.

02:16But at the end of the day, you're judged by wins and championships.

02:20And Dave's going to come up short.

02:21And don't tell me on, oh, well, Stockton didn't win it.

02:24Reggie Miller didn't win it.

02:25You and Barkley.

02:26They all got to a finals.

02:28They all got to a finals.

02:30They at least got their teams.

02:31And their teams were competitive.

02:32They, in the last couple years of Portland, were terrible.

02:35So, to me, yeah, great statistical, you know, career.

02:39Got to make the Hall of Fame.

02:40But in regards to the great ones, because he hasn't elevated his team,

02:44unfortunately, Dave falls short.

02:46So, you think Giannis leaves?

02:50Yeah.

02:50I mean, he made a case before the season that they needed to make a run.

02:56And, I mean, just look at the Eastern Conference the next couple years.

03:00New York's going to be better.

03:01Boston's going to be better.

03:02Cleveland's going to be better.

03:03Indiana's going to be better.

03:04If Atlanta gets them right, they're going to be better.

03:06Right?

03:07You know, if Charlotte ever gets them right, they're going to be better.

03:08They never matter.

03:09But my point being is that if you look around the Eastern Conference,

03:15where do you see Milwaukee with an old Bobby Portis,

03:19with an old, you know, Brooke Lopez,

03:21with a subpar coach in Doc Rivers?

03:24We're in a market that can't sell against three agents.

03:28I agree with you.

03:28I think he's done.

03:29And he's going to try and go to a big media market.

03:30We're in a marketing migrator for this year.

03:32Probably.

03:33Yep.

03:33Now,

03:35there's some interessant ways to take care of yourself.

03:36There's a bunch of money.

03:38There's so many new things that we're going to be ready to do to làm.

03:40I love to ask.

03:41At least once they get back to yours.

03:43I love to do that.

03:44And I'm happy to make you try and go.

03:45I love to go.

03:46There's so many different kinds of guys.

03:48You know,

03:50you need to do what they're going to be doing.
