00:03 I love Giannis, he's unstoppable.
00:05 But you can't tell me that Lillard is fit in there like he did in Portland and
00:09 he'd have 40 every night.
00:11 This guy shoots 30 times a night and they can't win.
00:15 Between the two of them, you have Dame Lillard and Giannis and they don't win.
00:18 I mean, it's unbelievable to me.
00:21 >> Yeah, I agree.
00:21 And I was on this pretty early where I said, I don't think,
00:24 I fear I would say in the Eastern Conference, if I'm the one seed and
00:27 I'm the Celtics, I fear the Sixers or the healthy Embiid more,
00:31 even though they fail constantly in the postseason.
00:33 I fear the Knicks more, I fear Miami more,
00:35 who doesn't take the regular season seriously, unfortunately.
00:40 This team has major issues in their point of attack defense.
00:44 Like I talked about it for years with the Celtics, right?
00:46 More talented than Marcus Smart, guys like Kyrie Irving,
00:49 guys like Kimball Walker, guys like Isaiah Thomas.
00:51 They couldn't guard anybody, so they didn't get far in the postseason.
00:54 You take Marcus Smart, he was less talented than those guys.
00:57 But as soon as he got into the point guard position, and
01:00 you couldn't attack the weak point there, they got all the way to the NBA finals and
01:03 had their best teams.
01:04 And I think it's the same thing here with Milwaukee.
01:06 And you're right, Damian Lillard has been very disappointing.
01:09 And he's got a ton of pressure because he didn't have any when he was in Portland.
01:14 Everybody let him get away with a top 75 without ever proving anything in
01:17 the postseason.
01:18 Now you're playing next to one of the three best players in the sport, Giannis.
01:21 You gotta do your end of the bargain.
01:22 And thus far, he hasn't defensively, and even more surprisingly,
01:26 as you mentioned, offensively.
