00:00it's absolutely irrelevant to the conversation but here we are david text communications please
00:06what what are the people saying wondering what that drop was for say no they're not uh the
00:13coaching has been malpractice coming out of timeouts terrible coming out of halftime giving
00:19up 22 unanswered not running with the hot hand and then punishing assar thompson all right hold
00:24can we can we unwind the yarn ball for a minute okay i want to see if we can get
00:29away with this
00:33what adjustments dr jack ramsey what adjustments would you like to see exactly tell me what because
00:41here's the problem this is like dancing around an issue in your relationship and the issue is
00:49staring you right in the face it's not all these other things just say the thing here's an idea
00:56the coaches who make the best adjustments have the best talent you ever think you're just not that
01:04talented and your coach has said your superpower is your effort one problem just like the children's
01:13book everybody poops in the playoffs everyone tries so you can tick a text until you're blue in the
01:21thumbs about these mythical adjustments it's like in football oh halftime adjustment did you ever think
01:29you're the cincinnati bangles and your defense's ass no amount of whiteboard work is fixing that
01:36what is jb supposed to do when a sore thompson's a minus 27 when durin looks like he can't play
01:45all right here hey did you like the adjustment of giving karis lavert more burn he led the team in
01:51scoring i'm asking rico see this is just like last maybe you run the flea flicker touchdown play the
01:58annexation of puerto rico this is just like last year in the series versus the knicks fans were having
02:04the offseason conversation before the offseason and and they were saying oh well we need a second
02:11score we need this okay that's great but you don't have it yet and you can't talk about it we
02:16need
02:16shooters we need others other than kade and that can't happen until the offseason so everyone's saying
02:25we need to make adjustments but you don't have what you need yet you know what david the irony last
02:30night
02:30was your others showed up you actually had to tell you hey kate you want you and tobias you guys
02:36want
02:36to do something well i think i think an other showed up but when you look at duncan zero a
02:42sore
02:43was awful danis was awful no you're right one of the others showed up in a mystical way i don't
02:48even
02:48give reed he showed up okay well i consider paul reed a franchise player at this point you know what
02:53i stand out excuse me i yield to the senator from new york oh no b-ball actually we're doing
02:58b-ball
02:58paul night well he actually fed the newsroom today oh really yeah well good for them the b-ball paul
03:08special tremendous look i just i i just i don't mean like i don't cape up for coaches i don't
03:15do this
03:16but i get frustrated because it's so easy to be like adjustments blah and it's like what adjustments
03:23you know things to do stuff that phil jackson would do well he had michael jordan right yeah
03:29jordan pippen coo coach i don't know might work easier yes that's the conversation i've been having
03:36with kenny he's probably annoyed with me by now for 90 minutes now amongst other reasons it's because
03:41it's because people are talking about the turnovers from kate and this and that and i get it he does
03:47turn
03:47over the ball too much but when you handle the ball so much and then when you don't have spacing
03:51correct
03:52around him it creates congestion and turnovers and david and you can't fix it until the off season
04:00i'm and i think that kate is tired he's carrying the team and this isn't an excuse because he's not
04:07using it but you do wonder how much the collapsed lung is having to play in all of this because
04:14it
04:14did happen i'm not making this up and he's not using it as an excuse you're a liar but carrying
04:21this
04:21team night in night out and i gotta go out and score 30 some plus points last night he looked
04:27like
04:27i'm tired but every one of you guys do this every bucket or even creation he has to make is
04:34congestion
04:35around it so it's difficult to do right and then schroeder basically was making his life hell like he was
04:41picking him up from 94 feet now now i'm i i know i could go easy on uk but i'm
04:48not i'm gonna get under
04:49your skin and i think he did go to the people i'm sorry i didn't mean to like go on
04:53a tangent there
04:54fellas it's just it's important sometimes i and i know we we fall into habits especially with football
04:58where we really get after coaches right but in the nba there is no sport where talent matters more
05:04and i'd argue strategy matters less than the nba because let's call it what it is the bet here
05:11here's your strategy in the playoffs pick and roll or iso spin a wheel right and i'm gonna get my
05:16best
05:16players and i'm gonna put the defense in conflict and i'm gonna drive and kick or i'm gonna get to
05:22the rack and get to the line that's the last seven minutes of every game but mike atkinson made an
05:26adjustment he said hey spider you want to go out there and score okay coach adjustment i think spider
05:32basically is like listen i'm gonna kill you give me the ball uh we'll go we'll go to evan 97
05:40one
05:41ev how you doing buddy i'm good man i'm thankful i mean it's refreshing i'm not gonna sit here and
05:47subscribe to you know we need to fire jb i mean i was four feet tall the last time pistons
05:53were doing
05:54good so um i'm gonna come in here with you know some positivity i think we have a good outlook
06:00i think
06:00we can take up the knicks but i'm gonna tell you something i don't think we need i mean look
06:05i'm
06:05not gonna say jalen duran was a superstar in the playoffs at all the opposite right but if you're
06:12cade cunningham i hear what you guys are saying about the collapse long i hope he's doing good but
06:17even if you're in the just the start of the 22 run say you're on a 10-0 run you're
06:23up against
06:25i'm sorry timeout kade you gotta take the ball to the rack you gotta take over you're the superstar
06:30you have to stop every there's no other answer but kade you have to do it oh listen listen we're
06:37talking two separate things this was my point evan i don't think they played well enough
06:42comprehensively to even burp out a take about officiating kade wasn't good last night i don't
06:48think anybody but karis lavert was any good last night you're not wrong i'm saying when people are
06:54talking about turnovers i can explain some of that no you're right a 24-0 run when when you're a
07:00franchise player making 50 million dollars he should never happen he wasn't good enough last night period
07:06and that's okay to say it doesn't mean we don't love the guy it doesn't mean he's not
07:09the franchise uh but he's got to be better yeah my point is you know like i don't think jalen
07:17duren is the superstar we all wish he was right now but if there's just one thing i wish kade
07:22could
07:22hear is like you even if it's a 8-0 run in the second half you have to step up
07:30i don't care what
07:31you got to do take the ball to the rack i mean i'm with the guy who called earlier i'm
07:36about to go
07:36start cleaning toilets next time a team goes on a 22-0 run on us i know i look and
07:42evan ultimately
07:43cleveland still has to prove they can come up here and win they have to prove they have to win
07:47a road
07:47game they have not won a playoff road game their own five i'm not gonna i'm not bailing on the
07:53team
07:53we're just talking about last night's game and talking about how bad it was it was objectively
07:58bad and now i think rico made a great point yesterday look last night's game was really about
08:05staying in proximity from a rest standpoint to the knicks getting a series over in five not getting into
08:12a prolonged conflict uh certainly not going seven and you've blown that opportunity so now okay that's
08:21out the window tomorrow night is now primarily your season if you lose no i don't believe you're gonna
08:27go to cleveland and win and if you win i don't believe cleveland's coming up here in game seven
08:31but this is the play this is what a playoff series is they're not supposed to be easy right
08:38248-539-9797 and again i do apologize for the jb bicker staff uh no you know pulpit i was
08:45on i just
08:45get tired of that you hear it all the time it mike it goes right up there with the sideline
08:50reporting
08:50we'll make the adjustments okay well what adjustments do i have oh man what was it like scoring 40 tonight
08:57okay back to the studio please i can't do it 97-1
09:02okay back to the studio please i can't do it 97-1
