00:00think that uh spolster is a good coach i think he's done great things but

00:05fair enough like i think he is really good at his job but like let's calm down here he had

00:11lebron james and dwayne wade in their prime like honestly i could have coached him honestly like

00:18this is the same conversation i've had about phil jackson like he had michael jordan and

00:24scotty pippen and don't get me started it goes on and on i could don't get me started on shack and

00:30kobe in la he gets all this credit like now listen here's my question for you simple as this when you

00:38saw them get their ass pelted really in every game and then in games three and four just absolutely

00:46where was the coaching then i literally he had no answers at all he did nothing

00:54to it just got worse by the minute it never nothing changed at all in any capacity whatsoever

01:02like i thought it just exposed him like he has no what they have obviously is no star

01:08so they don't have a star and your boy hero sandwich went candy ass what do you have four

01:13points that was candy ass like i think bam out of bios a really good player and i think hero has tons

01:20of big nights you know when it doesn't matter i i feel like for the most part since he won those

01:29titles with lebron and wade and bosh and that whole crew i feel like for the most part he's been

01:36kind of an overachieving coach i think he's done a little bit better with what he's had he had well

01:42those years he had butler obviously he had he went to the finals twice didn't win but i think the

01:47perception was that he took teams that were not top five or top six roster teams in the nba and took

01:55them to the finals like they were not some of the best teams so i think he gets some credit for that

02:00for this year i i really do think i kind of maybe give him a little bit of a pass this year because

02:05i think it's more what you said earlier i think that this team got completely torpedoed

02:11with everything that happened with butler and honestly i i think you could have been the greatest

02:16coach in the history of the world i don't know if you were fixing what happened this year and i

02:20think that that's maybe why you need to tear down some of the other stuff that's there and and kind

02:26of start building it back up again whether that's but getting your hands on some stars and we've heard

02:31about the honest stuff with the nets maybe miami's a team too that uh might be in that in that ballpark

02:38i've heard durant you know durant's a little older now we know but i i think you're going to see a

02:43different i'm so sick of hearing about kevin durant going to every team in the league i mean just every

02:49he's going everywhere he's going to play on like five teams next year with one arm this left this this

02:55calf like i i he's going to be all over he got to play on five different teams like i have heard he's

03:01literally going to play everywhere like honestly i'm so tired of it i i really am now you want to get

03:08yannis down in miami playing with bam and then you get a couple of guys that can shoot i won't deny

03:15they listen it's got to end with duncan robinson donuts over here and you know i i'll be honest with

03:22you hero like i mean he he he got real white last night i mean he got real white i mean he was he was

03:29pasty white last night honestly let let me at least uh at least just give you spolster he did uh

03:37call it like it is uh when it was over but damn it was humbling you know this series was humbling

03:44these last two games were embarrassing um but cleveland's also a very good team we won whatever

03:53we won they won 65 we're as irrational as we usually are thinking that we have a chance to win

03:59this series and um they showed us why you know we weren't ready you know for that

04:07i mean what else is there to say they got their ass beat like i don't even want to hear it like they

04:11were they were utterly anemic the games were over by the second quarter not even halftime all the games

04:20were over by the second quarter there wasn't one good game that's it uh there was not one good game

04:26it was an awful awful series uh all the way around that was a bad for the nba too what a terrible like

04:32you know what you know what it does it really does expose that play-in tournament like that those hack

04:38ass teams with 30 wins they get a play in the playoffs uh suddenly the the eight becomes uh what they

04:45become is someone's in that in that one eight i mean that was embarrassing it goes back to what

04:54uh trey young said last week because that would have been atlanta playing cleveland if it was the

04:59old way atlanta would have played cleveland in the first round if there was no play in tournament

05:03would trey young in atlanta given a better showing than miami who was the 10th best team in the east this

05:09year no over a four game you know four plus game series you know would they have beaten them no uh

05:16would they have gotten smashed uh in all four games atlanta atlanta has been asked

05:25even even with dominique wilkins okay like i live there and i used to go to 41 hawks games a year live

05:33in living color right at the omni i used to go to games every night and they have been asked

05:40my whole life so let's just stop with the atlanta hawks they're never winning anything

05:45and they i mean they don't they couldn't even scratch and sniff okay an nba title stop it just

05:52stop they don't matter they never have they never will they never will like literally they never will

05:58i mean honestly
