Anthony Davis Yiannis TPO man froze before you, didn't he have it? freeze Anthony Davis own putback slam this was one of the best regular season games of the season it has some of the craziest stats of the season and Anthony Davis had a game and so did Giannis, can you imagine him attacking you? I feel desperate Milwaukee was up 16 points at halftime and Giannis kept going with the slam over Jackson Hayes Giannis' rebound put it back 88 to 74 But here come the Lakers Anthony Davis knocking down a triple hit down nine 80 for three would get his Se looked at his left leg, it was kind of like the fact that he did this, he got hit but he never left the game and hit another three here, he was phenomenal.

Anthony Davis scored three 3-pointers in the game down five after being down by as much as 19 Austin Austin came to play today Rees like he did now we're all tied up 101 D'Angelo Russell no foul called ball goes out of bounds big foul contact who the Bucks challenged her they overturned it they recovered it one last chance no foul was called there well plays good game how come he opened give me something reefs bad defense almost incredible iron bad defense why did he come back so far he opened wide Austin again see Jannis shut down so let's go to

LeBron thought one was good Lillard to the hoop Anthony Davis with the SWAT defense player here tonight was a performance worth discussing four blocks for Anthony Davis, he was a force throughout the entire Wy game will be second, no, he will, oh, he's not going to dunk it, no, I said it won't be like that eventually. year Damen Lillard with the steel we are tied at 121 this is a frozen Vin shot that is where he should have shot the first one Austin Reeves knocks it down three 24 seconds they left Giannis one of six from the line in the game the Lakers were 30 of 30 2 for the free throw line the Bucks 11 of 17 Reeves rebounds again part of his triple

double

incredibly LeBron ad 30 and 20 Reeves a triple

double

of 25o the first Duo since 1966 to achieve it in the same way The game was Jerry Lucas and the Big O Oscar Robertson, an incredible finish, the Lakers won without LeBron, something I was very proud of after the game and you had 34 points, 23 rebounds, four blocks in 52 minutes with a bad knee and also defending the best player. about the Bucks, Yiannis and kmo, how were you able to give your team the victory considering the circumstances in Chicago?

Man, we care, no one in the entire room says what everyone wants to say about me. I go out and leave it on. the court for my team, man, I love these guys, it was a fun, fun night, you're in that game format right now and people will say, well what's so special, where are they sitting right now, what Do you tell those who don't? Don't tell them anything, you know, we stick together in that locker room knowing what we have, the team, that we have guys coming back, no matter who steps on the court, we go out and compete, we're in a dogfight.

Right now we didn't trust the pass tonight, you know, a lot of zero pass shots or one pass shots, and when we play like that, you know some nights we get away with it because guys make shots, but we lost confidence. our foot broke and you got burned, that's all I thought, when we played right at the beginning of the game, it was beautiful basketball, we stopped playing well and thought we could still win and we couldn't document ourselves saying that they did. I don't trust the pass 37 assists on 49 field goals interesting uh Lakers, although now they have won four in a row, they have won nine of 13, they now have 500 games without LeBron, they are five and five and they get their 13th victory in the announcement of highway 30 and 20 to Austin Reeves a 25 plus triple double no, yeah, you did, I didn't, uh, I don't know what I was going to say, but the Lakers are now firmly in that ninth spot, they have a nice little A gap with the Golden State Warriors, he always says you don't want to face this team in the playoffs is where we are still with this team or do they even have potential beyond the first round they will be in.

It's a tough outing because on LeBron James' team you play chess against whoever you play, so if you're one of the younger teams that had a great regular season, it's going to be hard to figure out how to beat them. a seven-game series, especially with LeBron well-rested and rested and the fact that they're playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. If they play against a younger team, I may pick them against a younger team, especially in the first round. Make it clear that playing first, that's what you have to win too, yes, you have to, right, you can't lose at that?

O N. I think that they, if they are in position, are defeated, Golden State could win. I have them or you go and play against a team from Phoenix or Sacramento Phoenix Phoenix and Sacramento right now are in seventh and eighth place capable, they are capable, yes. Beyond this, what do you learn about the Lakers when you see them without LeBron? So I think there is a constant consistency, how would I say this? Austin Reeves is front and center when LeBron is out. You can see that his game plan is to put the ball in Austin Reed's hands and allow him to play.

I mean, he performed tonight, look at his triple double, I mean, 29, 10 and 14, I think the commercial is a little more active and I think sometimes you get caught up watching LeBron play because he's great and he can do it. a lot of things with the ball and um and so I think it's a I mean, you saw how Ruy started tonight really hot with his energy and everything and if they can get Vanderbilt back healthy, I think he can give them something. Good minutes defensively, but I think the biggest thing I noticed is Austin Reeves, how do you unlock that Austin Reeves when he plays LeBron?

I think everyone is unlocked to be honest with you and like Shaq said beforehand, everyone hits the rock, everyone feels like they can. run pick and roll, everyone feels like at some point they could be the vocal point of the offense, but more than anything to me, Anthony Davis doesn't play with doubt, he doesn't have to wonder if he's one or two like he's the guy and he you can be more patient that way and you can also be more aggressive while doing that. It's just a basic case of restriction versus freedom when LeBron is in the game, everyone is restricted, give it to LeBron and you can have a chance when he's not there. the game everyone has their freedom D'Angelo russle you know you don't really see him dribble seven eight nine seconds like he got it boom boom he throws it to LeBron so when they have freedom and you know I said this before the game when you have freedom and the The ball moves, that's why I chose to win because when everyone is involved, like during the game, they are a very dangerous team.

I want to ask you because I think it means more coming from you. Anthony Davis hits his leg, those are plays. plays 52 minutes tells everyone he's from Chicago 34 points 23 rebounds just from the big man Alliance to see that kind of effort against Giannis and Brook Lopez that's what he wanted golf club yeah no he's saying that's what you're supposed to do I know how I feel about him when I watch him play, it's his mother and father, they came up to me and said we want you to stay on our board because I know what he's capable of, like you know, when he did a lot of Kentucky, but when he was with New Orleans and the numbers he was putting up that's when he was a new Flash for me, like this guy can do this every night, sometimes he's up and sometimes he's down, but lately you know the way he's been playing and you.

I know he said they're in the dogfight, when you put a guy like that in the dogfight, he's going to behave like that and I think he deserves the praise when he lasts 52 minutes because we've been around a long time. People notice a lot when they miss games, so congratulations and the Bucks losing to a Lakers team without LeBron for the second time this season, something to ponder.
