you have to be prepared for everybody
um and a ton of respect for those guys
um
but there are some things that you know
every team in the league does
defensively
uh regardless of who they're playing and
the great players make it even harder
for you to do that it's tough to lose
you know great players but
we've lost guys all season so
there's any silver lining it's that
we've continued to win games this year
regardless of who's been available
we've been able to adapt on the fly
which is difficult to do sometimes
but for us that's something we have some
experience with and
we should have some comfort and belief
that no matter who plays we can still
perform and play well and
very difficult to be i wish my brothers
were out there playing i wish they were
healthy
but like you said that's a part of the
game and
we all understand that we wish they were
out there playing but
i know they're going to be doing their
best to get back on the floor and get
healthy as fast as possible and that's
all we can
all we can hope for and the rest of the
guys who are out there healthy enough to
play we got to come out there and play
as hard as we can every possession
that's always been the mantra for us
every day is to play focused discipline
basketball so
nothing changes but we wish our brothers
were out there
all right now the consensus from you
three last night was if if kyrie and
james harden can't play then
brooklyn cannot win game five
having said that give me the scenario
shack in which brooklyn does win that
game what would have to happen
what has to happen for brooklyn to win
game five
joe harris has to make six or seven
threes
the care from europe mike mike james 20
to 22 points
blake griffin just like the game when he
was diving all on the floor need 20
points for him
and kevin i need i need a high 30 low
40s
type of game and i need them to play
play with pace i need them to punish me
walking now on the milwaukee side
they need to punish the nets and when i
say punish i mean run run run
inside the side don't try to kill him
with threes don't try to make the heroes
plays
they're down now that they're down
they're injured we got to take advantage
of that
and we got to punish them inside inside
inside inside layups
drawn kick and only shoot the three when
it's necessary don't just come down and
shoot the three because you can shoot
the three because
if they're not going in it's going to be
a long game
well if the brooklyn nets could win if
the game is 90 points or less
if it goes over 90 and start going into
the 100s they can't win
just because you know you you just
you can't get enough baskets because you
don't have the the
proficiency that milwaukee would have
now when when kyrie and james are out
there you want to
you want to get 100 110 possessions
you want to get as many possessions you
can because if we take 110 shots and you
take 110
we're going to beat you we got better
shooters better players so
now we've got to slow it down and say
like
when kevin durant in the last four
minutes of the game it's 85.80
now he could take us home but if you're
trying to still get
110 112 points you will not beat
the milwaukee bucks i i cannot see that
to me this is the defining
moment of this bucks team
this is the defining moment in my
opinion
there's no way if they look if like shaq
said
unless uh joe harris mike james
and blake are diving all over the place
but it don't matter they don't have
enough talent to beat the bucks team
if i'm the milwaukee bucks i'll get
together guys
this is our moment as long as they don't
outwork us
they can't beat us because they can't
score enough points and if the milwaukee
bucks
lose this series without
james harden for the entire series now
know kyrie
this will be one of the biggest choke
jobs in basketball history
history history history yes for history
i'm with you on that joke i'm serious if
the
play the entire series without james and
be 2-2
and no james and kyrie if you can't beat
these guys
two out of three games this will be one
of the biggest choke jobs in nba history
game five tomorrow night right here tnt
eight o'clock eastern time for the half
hour pregame show
just coming back with more here on
inside the nba krispy kreme and turn it
in for free donuts
