04:58

now you've run into the on the Block the

05:00

reigning defending NBA champions and so

05:02

as a result of that year you might have

05:04

kentavius kcp guarding you up front out

05:07

on the perimeter but the second you

05:10

penetrate you make a move there's a

05:12

collapse on you and it's a wall of

05:14

people there who who obviously are your

05:17

size and they serve as an impediment you

05:19

need the other cats to step up you

05:21

brought up their bench I'm looking at

05:22

the Lakers bench right now in his first

05:24

two games torian Prince 17 points the

05:28

rest of the AK bench zero in the first

05:32

two games nothing notada and by the way

05:35

only attempted three shots so what do

05:37

you out there for what purpose serve

05:40

what do you do cardio that's really what

05:42

it

05:43

is cardio in last cardio put in cardio

05:48

that's it cuz they damn sure ain't

05:49

playing basketball and so I look at that

05:52

but also sh Shay last but not least I

05:54

mean I do appreciate the greatness of

05:56

LeBron James I'm looking at the numbers

05:57

here 26 and 12 and eight we understand

06:00

that two big time three-pointers let's

06:02

give him credit for that you understand

06:05

but he he did have a wide openen three

06:07

at the key you know in those last

06:10

seconds he missed it and that's when

06:12

Murray and them got the ball back and

06:14

was able to close the deal you didn't

06:17

have to shoot you didn't have to you

06:18

didn't have to take three leg before you

06:21

go but help me answer this there's a

06:24

sixc there's a six sixc time

06:27

differential between the shot clock and

06:28

the game clock why would you take that

06:31

shot so early in the shot clock that's

06:33

right I'm hey I'm taking that shot with

06:36

two seconds at the lead at the max I'm

06:39

not giving them a full 13 Seconds come

06:42

on but but that's you tell statically

06:45

doing that what I'm saying Shannon is

06:47

he's wide open he's wide open and he had

06:51

made the others but when it's tied and

06:54

the game's on the line and he's got that

06:57

spot he missed it we got to make it yeah

07:01

all right to your point about that

07:04

specific play I'm going to tell you

07:05

exactly why that happened actually

07:06

saying I think it might even been less

07:08

than that I think it was just a little

07:09

over 5 Seconds difference so you're

07:12

right they could have taken that all the

07:13

way down taking that shot within two

07:15

three on the clock right by the time of

07:17

balls in the air travels hits the rim

07:18

comes up one way or another nuggets

07:20

probably have about 3 to 4 seconds right

07:22

you're you're right here's what happened

07:24

he wasn't intending to shoot that

07:26

basketball kcp fell and slid 15 ft away

07:30

from him to the point where he is

07:32

literally standing there without anybody

07:33

within 15 ft of him so now he gathers

07:36

his feet and he's he's thinking well

07:38

this is the best look we're going to get

07:41

on this possession is this right here

07:43

particularly when he felt like he was in

07:44

pretty good rhythm with his jump shot

07:46

and that's why he took it it just worked

07:48

out on I'm telling you kcp doesn't fall

07:51

that that Ball's going to get worked on

07:53

that clock and they're going to end up

07:54

taking a shot probably with about 5

07:55

seconds left and Denver's got very

07:57

little time at the end of that make or

07:59

Miss

08:00

I think it was just unfortunate kcp fell

08:02

left LeBron that open he figured this

08:03

the best shot we're going to get he took

08:05

it he stepped into it he didn't make it

08:06

look the bottom line is you said it they

08:08

were one jump shot short and it wasn't

08:10

just LeBron Roy hachimura had a wide

08:12

open Corner three Austin Reeves had a

08:14

wide open naked look I don't know why

08:17

they got away from the two-man game with

08:18

LeBron and AD that they were having so

08:20

much success with to get the lead that's

08:22

all they were doing was either LeBron

08:23

turn the corner and go ad screen and

08:26

dive to the middle of the floor or ad

08:29

after it roll into the post and operate

08:31

oneon-one they were scoring every trip

08:33

they get up 20 nuggets start cutting

08:35

into it it's like they got tight and

08:37

they went away from that chanet I don't

08:38

know why because the Nuggets didn't have

08:40

an answer they were going to have to

08:42

force an adjustment that they never

08:44

really had to get to because the Lakers

08:45

stop running that particular set um the

08:48

last thing I want to say is this we're

08:50

talking a lot about yage get one-on-one

08:51

coverage when it's a 20-point lead you

08:54

play him one-on-one because

08:55

three-pointers are going to erase that

08:57

deficit quickly when that thing got down

08:59

to 10 eight and you're letting him

09:02

operate with unlimited dribbles in the

09:03

post against Anthony Davis this it's not

09:05

like are you going to get a good shot it

09:07

is certain he is going to score there is

09:09

a certainty to it at that point I think

09:12

you need to DARE kcp Aaron Gordon leave

09:17

him at the three-point line get the ball

09:19

to jokic's hands they decided to roll

09:20

with single coverage that entire time

09:22

and joic basically eliminated that lead

09:25

pretty much by himself that's another a

09:27

questionable strategy I thought out of

09:28

Lakers down stretch last time go ahead

09:32

goad Ste was think about it the Lakers

09:35

hit a three-point shot they're up three

09:38

joic is trying to draw the foul he

09:40

almost turns the ball over the Lakers

09:43

almost get it Gordon beats them to the

09:45

ball he throws in mpj and the next uh uh

09:49

yeah M uh and the next thing you know is

09:51

a tie ball game how unlucky or how

09:55

unfortunate for the Lakers you're up

09:56

three you're about to get a turnover at

09:59

work case secure a loose ball and

10:01

instead of being up with the basketball

10:03

by three you're in a tie ball game

10:07

sometimes the stars are line for you and

10:10

sometimes the stars are line against you

10:11

and last night yep couple of things

10:14

number one LeBron that last time he was

10:16

in that kind of position you know in in

10:19

a postseason he missed the three but

10:21

Bosch grabbed a rebound hit Ray Allen

10:23

and Ray Allen hit that corner three in

10:25

the finals okay he didn't missed it last

10:28

night uh unfortunately it gave Jamal

10:30

Murray the ball Ru

10:34

haimura five points per game on 27%

10:37

shooting come on man come on man got to

10:40

do better got to do better and by the

10:42

way we enough of the niceties with

10:45

Austin Reeves we like him we know he can

10:48

play we've seen flashes of his growth

10:52

and how I mean he been around long

10:54

enough now 11 points three of 11

10:56

shooting you're starting shooting guard

10:59

man you got to do more you got to do

11:01

more and he's not doing that and somehow

11:04

someway he's going to have to get it

11:05

together as well all Ry has to do is

11:07

give you season average AAR Reed give

11:09

you your give us give the Lakers their

11:11

SE your season average that's it LeBron

11:14

is giving you his average ad is eight

11:16

points above his average that's right

11:18

you guys are way below your average DLo

11:21

gave you seven threes I would say

11:23

steepen I say Stephen he gonna give you

11:24

at least five he ain't going from one

11:26

for n gave you seven he gave you seven

11:27

he gave you seven you had a 20po lead in

11:31

the second half in the second half and

11:34

you gave it up and then you blame the

11:38

officials no man I can't I can't rock

11:40

like that yeah I hear you on the LeBron

11:42

thing like that comment that's a play

11:44

from earlier in the game had no bearing

11:45

on the outcome of the game that to me is

11:47

a deposit for future returns he's trying

11:49

to maybe make a statement about going

11:50

forward and getting calls and whatnot

11:52

that had nothing to do we all we just

11:53

broke down everything that happened in

11:54

the fourth quarter I want to say one

11:56

last thing that Aaron Gordon play that

11:58

is going to be like not talked about

12:00

enough that 50/50 ball he had with

12:03

Austin Reeves on the Baseline saved the

12:04

game I mean that ball is right there in

12:06

the air and he just a little bigger than

12:08

Austin Reeves a little stronger they

12:10

both got there at the same time his

12:12

ability to wrestle it away from him look

12:14

down stay in bounds find Porter to make

12:18

a contested three that is other than

12:20

obviously the gamewinner that is the

12:22

play that you look at it's amazing how

12:24

Champions find ways man they believe you

12:27

said they down 20 they didn't seem

12:28

stressed not at all we're going to make

12:30

a run they're not worried about the L

12:31

Shannon real quick I just want to ask

12:32

you this do you feel like the series is

12:38

over being being an ex athlete you hate

12:42

saying a series over because the that's

12:44

why we play the games but when you play

12:47

as well as they played when you get what

12:49

you got from ad you get what you got

12:51

from Brun and you get what you got from

12:53

DLo you had a 20-point lead we've seen

12:57

it's the play out last year remember

12:58

that first game 80 gave you everything

13:01

you lose that one the second game you

13:02

play better you lose that one LeBron

13:04

gives you 40 and you have a 10-point

13:06

lead at the half you give that up and

13:08

you get swept you have 11-point lead in

13:11

game one you lose that you have a

13:12

20-point lead into the third quarter

13:14

15-point lead at the half there has to

13:17

be doubt in your mind what can we do to

13:21

beat this team don't hey I know what

13:24

they're going to say I was once upon a

13:25

time a pretty good professional athlete

13:27

and I know the mindset that you have to

13:29

to have but after somebody continually

13:31

whip your ass you're like I I don't know

13:33

what else I need to do Stephen A I mean

13:35

we had them down by 20 ad gives us 30 32

13:39

and 14 LeBron gives us 26 12 and 8 right

13:44

well listen Shannon Shannon welcome home

13:46

baby welome that's all right your day

13:48

coming your day coming your day coming

13:51

is is over it's over you know saying and

13:54

ain't winning I mean it's it's over it's

13:56

over you know and I'm going to say this

13:57

and listen Mar respect I'm sad that the

14:01

Lakers ended up going against Denver

14:03

because if it were anybody else they

14:04

wouldn't be in this situation personally

14:06

but the one team that would put them in

14:08

the situation has put them in the

14:10

situation it's not just that you were up

14:12

20 in the second half it was gone inside

14:16

of 10 minutes just like that Denver said

14:19

y'all ready let let let's samp this up

14:22

and they came and when they came at the

14:24

Lakers the Lakers looked shook they

14:27

looked shook it's just the truth yeah

14:30

this is over I mean I don't think

14:32

they're going to get swept I think the

14:34

Lakers can find a way to win they better

14:36

win game three they won't win game four

14:38

they better win game three but they look

14:40

sh they have to win a road game in this

14:42

series they have to win a road game when

14:44

are you going to have opport they win

14:47

game right now they got to win the game

14:48

they're both straight correct correct

14:49

that was their shot to Wi on the road

14:51

guys
