00:00
you know what a night last night for the uh the minnesota timberwolves we cashed a ticket i can't
00:05
pat myself on the back too much because i also took the golden state warriors on the money line
00:10
last night but we cashed a nice plus 210 with the t wolves how about rudy gobert i mean probably the
00:16
most criticized player after ben simmons i'd say rudy gobert is the most criticized player
00:21
in the nba and especially by his own peers uh as well it's one thing like if a bunch of know
00:26
nothing people you know call you out and you're not really going to care if you're an athlete but
00:31
when when your own peers and people in the league kind of disrespect you often that was a big time
00:37
performance scott the t wolves are a dangerous team man but as far as the lakers are concerned
00:42
that's you know they're not very good i mean let's just call it out for what it is as far as their
00:48
depth is concerned in the playoffs you can win games with stars just point blank right you can win games
00:54
stars in the regular season but when you get to the playoffs you need to have five guys seven guys
00:59
nine guys right you need to have a little bit of depth you can't just rely on two players and that's
01:04
the lakers so regular season yeah you're gonna win because it's a star-driven league you know we
01:10
get in the playoffs it's a different situation but i'm not just saying this now scott lucas all of all
01:18
i'm not gonna say i'm an anti-luka guy but i've always seen what the mavericks saw bro i'm telling
01:25
you for years like he's driven me crazy with the complaining to the refs constantly the fake half
01:31
injuries the constant fake smiles during the games bro we're losing a playoff game it's not funny
01:37
fake smile uh-huh ref ref this is all business luka like i get it they made it to the finals so i
01:44
can't say all the you know he can't win i mean a guy made it to the nba finals before but to me
01:49
this guy's like a quarterback bro he's gonna throw interceptions and he's gonna laugh about it after
01:54
and you know you just sort of have to do you know the quarterback that's smiling after the
01:57
interception you still have to deal with it defensively he gets lit up all the time and
02:02
it's like oh they got to get pieces around them yeah but it's hard when two guys make as much money
02:06
as you do and you got to bring people in to be those role players you know they were kind of
02:11
exposed last night but as far as the t-wolves got this is a good basketball team i mean you know
02:17
remember you and i talked i remember i vividly remember the day the trade happened scott and
02:22
i said i don't like judging trades until we see how it all plays out but the but you know i liked
02:28
the t-wolves that they got the depth out of the deal the next got carl anthony towns the t-wolves got
02:34
two players right and you see randall didn't have the greatest regular season but really stepped up
02:39
against the lakers anthony edwards you know i think it's a little rush scott oh he's the face
02:44
of the league he's gonna be the face of the league and all this type stuff i think women yam is gonna
02:48
be the face of the league uh but with that being stated he's a badass conley's been around forever
02:54
randall's been in the league a long time go bear they're not a young team i mean this is a team full
02:59
of vets and they got ballers on that team they can ball minnesota dangerous basketball team scott
03:04
there's no doubt uh that they're deeper and more dangerous i now look there's no one that i'm the
03:13
mirror image of you with uh the whiny cry baby bitch that he is luca he is uh cried more than any player
03:20
in the nba hands down tenfold i mean etc etc infinity uh this guy is belly to belly complains the whole
03:28
game but uh you know he does give you 30 a game i mean he's one of two guys you and i are right
03:37
but he's gonna he's it's a soft 32 though i don't know if you know what i mean because it sort of adds
03:44
up he's got the body the the size and the chunk to hold guys off of his body on on the dribble he's a
03:53
lot like yager had that stick draw where p and those hips no one could get the puck from him and
03:59
this guy when he's got the basketball i've never seen a big guy that's that kind of chunky and heavy
04:05
uh have that kind of handle and then to be able to hit shots from anywhere and everywhere i agree with
04:12
you defensively but i think his job as a point guard in the nba he's i right now he's the best in the
04:20
world with the ball in his hands but let me let me bring something i wouldn't argue that and he's
04:25
also the future of that franchise it's not lebron james it's that guy for the next 10 years
04:31
that they're not gonna win there is do it they better they need a lot more than just him you
04:37
can't just have a better scar yeah but the thing you gotta compensate for him as well so yeah he's
04:42
gonna score but he has a lot of weaknesses let me just bring this up scott and think about it in
04:46
hindsight carlisle willingly left at dallas to go coach the pacers this was like years ago right
04:56
like mark cuban was still owning the team right you luca donchick is like 23 years old at the time
05:02
and he goes you know what i i'm out well what was that about you know i mean why would he go
05:09
choose the pacers now the mavericks i think he's done better there than he did in dallas but
05:14
finally now you saw in dallas as well i claimed at the time i'm on record i didn't think it was
05:21
insanity to trade luca donchick if you were the dallas mavericks like my deal was it was insanity
05:27
to trade him for anthony davis right you can't trade him for a player ad on paper is a great player
05:33
fine i like anthony davis guys always hurt
