00:00watching that game they choked it away at the end of the game you know Jalen is watching the

00:06ball rather than boxing out it's just I mean he had a honestly a great view like an on-the-spot

00:12view of that offensive rebound that that he was giving up winning when he should be boxing out

00:17those were better than your seats and then they had they had an opportunity on the other end but

00:22you know Derek White can't hold on to the ball and then he's close though at the end that ball

00:28almost went in which one the one that Kata put back no yes yeah yeah yeah but I'm very close I

00:34mean he threw up a half-court shot because he he he fumbled the ball and then he's whining about a

00:40foul yeah I mean I don't I might have been wrong it's still early I'm not going to jump off the

00:47train when he said they were going to end up top three season as a top three team yes you were

00:52wrong I think you were wrong about that I mean well who do you blame Greg if a team underachieves

00:57you're asking me or you're asking fellow fellow coach Wiggins I mean I blame but listen I put I

01:03blame the two guys and you know I blame Missoula and Jalen Brown I mean Jalen Brown scoring a lot of

01:08points but he's not I mean they're they're five and seven yeah they are losing games that they

01:16ought to be winning and I mean if you're Jalen Brown and you have told everybody that would listen

01:24for the last number of seasons that you are the guy and you have the opportunity to be the guy

01:32and you have you've not been able to be the guy right that is alarming but at the same time he's

01:38scoring a lot of points you look at the rest of the team besides Simons and Derek White yesterday

01:43nobody else even had double digits when it came to points like Peyton Pritchard where are you

01:47there are a lot of guys that need to step up at the same time it's not just on Jalen Brown Jalen

01:52Brown scoring he's leading the team every single night night in night out you know which is what

01:57you need from your number one you know who leads the team every single night and scoring when they

02:01played was Jason Tatum yeah and if it if this if he was it was never enough if he was exactly if he

02:07was heading this team up right now we would be killing and we'd be saying how are you paying this guy

02:12look at Giannis Giannis got basically you know I just go back to what I said last week and I stand

02:17by it if Jalen Brown was the one out with a torn Achilles this year and Jason Tatum was in and he

02:22was scoring 25 30 a night and losing and losing it no I think they would be losing I don't think

02:28that Jason Tatum filling that spot and Jalen Brown being out would be any different when it came to

02:33the when it came to the wins and losses this season Tatum had missed a free throw and then failed

02:39completely on the other end to box out that would be the story no that's not what I'm saying

02:43right now so what are you saying I'm saying that I think that a lot of people look at this season

02:47and think that Jalen Brown can't be the number one if Jason Tatum was in here and was the number one

02:51and Jalen Brown was out it would still be the same result of a season oh I don't think that's what I

02:57completely disagree with you and I know you're a stan but how like tell me why you disagree what

03:03would change when it comes to the rest of the team around him no nothing would change I think

03:08Jason Tatum would make the rest of the team around him better right and I and I I've yet to see that

03:14from Jalen Brown I get it it's only 12 games in so small sample but my sub has bacon I just think

03:22that those two make this team what it is together right but you can't it's not one or the other it's

03:27not like the goalie tandem no that's not what I'm saying but that's not what I'm saying I'm saying

03:32that these two we had two superstars on a team that's why we were so good the fact that one of

03:36them is out is going to change a team completely that's what we're seeing right now I just think

03:42that people keep looking at Jalen Brown as oh he wanted to be the number one forever and he's just

03:46not a number one guy no look at the team around him look at how different this team is than the

03:51team that what that was last season or the season before that I hear you Courtney I just think

03:56in this specific game what Jalen Brown failed to do are things that had nothing to do with any

04:02teammate and were things that we would absolutely destroy Tatum for if Tatum misses a free throw

04:09and then it's tied up the Sixers heave up a bad three and the guy that Tatum is in charge of boxing

04:15out or rebounding in front of goes right by him like he was not even there he can't get a body on him

04:20like box out it's basic basketball right Curtis Curtis is spot on right it's not enough for you

04:27if you're Jalen Brown to be out there getting points you've got to play defense and you got you got to

04:33get boards and you got to get offensive your own offensive boards like in it when it's down to the

04:40wire like that you you've got to do that that like you're a max guy you're you're you're you're all

04:47NBA you signed a 300 million plus dollar deal like I just don't get it up to it I don't get it

04:53Courtney because right I we had had this conversation oh would you give up Jalen Brown and x amount of

05:00players for Giannis Giannis has Milwaukee right now playing very well he averages over 30 he averages

05:07you know over 10 rebounds a game almost seven assists like and his other superstar teammate is

05:14out in um or in Dame Lillard but um but Dame Lillard's no longer there and when you look at

05:22Jalen Brown this year the expectations were okay you're an alpha this is what you you have to make

05:29everybody else elevate and better around you or you have to take control of the games especially at the

05:35end of games when we criticize Tatum for not doing it and for him to be where he is right now yeah he's

05:42scoring points yeah he's got to be better with getting assists I agree with you there and rebounding

05:46yeah yes yes and he's got to make the team better yes we agree here I just so doesn't Joe Mazzula so

05:52I'm not going to give him an out either okay all right I won't give him an out either I mean I don't

05:57know how you feel about he had the timeout last night I don't know on the I don't know if Derek White

06:03was supposed to end up with that basketball or not well it started with Jalen I don't know what

06:08that design was but um maybe they could take on the Rebs media I mean you certainly you know you

06:14certainly can run a pick here or there I don't know if uh I mean he's a big fan of the two-on-one

06:19I mean I I think you
