Tim is exactly right about the "illegal" screen, especially when he points out that absolutely nobody would have had a problem with that screen if they didn't blow a whistle. It was a clean screen by literally everyone's standards, and the only reason people even think it was an illegal screen is because the ref blew their whistle.
I’ve seen several veteran players drive in, see Wemby (or Chet) and just freeze up. Next year you’ll see guys shooting moon shots against these giants, but your first instinct is to pull it back.
I saw JB's highlights from hs and he had ne going 'wow' back then...i onow they were just highlights but his basketball iq was unbelieavable for a high school player...the big stage doesnt phase him either.
Look I am bias from Minneapolis I get it but you can't tell me what my eyes aren't seeing isn't the third coming of Micheal Jordon with Kobe being the second. Fadeaway mid range jumpers, killer instincts, attacks the rim, plays defense. He just shoots the three better then they did lol. I'm a LeBron Guy myself but now that he is old and I'm in the twin cities I'm an ANT MAN. God I never thought that's what id say about myself five years ago. That block in the regular season we've never seen that... I've seen bron and Zion hit there head on the rim/backboard, Ant hit his whole upper body on the backboard. As far as wemby, lets not forget MJ was the third pick because a guy who was just to tall how did that work out.
In 1956, a playoff game between the Celtics and Lakers, there was a bad call in the 3rd quarter that changed the outcome of the game and the history of the NBA...... RIDICULOUS!...One blown call doesn't cause a team to lose... I saw several calls earlier against the knicks that were questionable....BUT, THE REAL POINT HERE IS DANNIE ALWAYS FOCUSES ON NEGATIVE....(Typical alkie)
Darvin wasnt a scapegoat he didnt do a good enough job period. This is like if you get fired for stealing and the only argument you have to defend yourself is other people are stealing too.. thats not a scapegoat
@@lynnerose7891 The fact that youre giving ham credit for the better record is crazy. Lebron and AD played more is way more of a reason. Regarding pelinka he is one of the aforementioned people stealing and def needs to be fired. Hes been screwing up for years
couldn't agree more. say what you want about the dysfunction within the lakers organization/front office, it's indefensible that it took him half the season to start the same 5 guys that got them to the conference finals last year. and of course they were one of the best teams in the league after that. even in the playoffs, it seemed like the lakers were starting each game with 2 fewer timeouts than the nuggets. with an old team that has shown they consistently struggle in second halves especially against the nuggets, and they literally could not call a timeout during some of the runs (game 5 in particular) because of mismanaged timeouts earlier in the game and cuz they obviously needed at least one in their back pocket for a potential late game challenge
didn't mean to write a novel haha, but people try to act as if saying that absolves everyone else involved of culpability. two things can be true, yet people are so emotionally charged (on both ends of the spectrum) when it comes to anything LeBron related that it has to be one or the other
Espn is really wasting this man's talent.
Legler is always great! Went to same HS as I did here in Virginia.
I saw Legs play with the Omaha Racers of the old Continental Basketball Association
I like to sit for the extra 48 seconds and reflect on what I just listened to, the greatness that is the Dan Patrick interview.
The absolute best
Best nba interview ive ever heard...Legler has great insight...i really enjoyed this one.
Hands down my favorite NBA analyst to listen to and study. Can't understand how Legler does not have a Head Coaching job in the NBA

Didn’t the Pacers challenge the illegal screen and it was upheld? So they basically missed the call twice?
NBA needs a penalty box for these guys. Imagine how much fun that would be
Jamal was in the penalty box all night courtesy of jaden and naw
Legler is the best

Great interview
Wasnt the moving screen the same issue in the women's tournament between iowa and uconn?
can't wait till Legler leaves ESPN. he's too good for that place, speaking of theatrics.
Anytime wembanyama is mentioned I wonder if people know ANTHONY MARSHAWN DAVIS exists
Who is doing your editing?
mAIRio
The screen call and the kick ball calls were atrocious....ruined a perfectly good game...i cant believe the kick ball isnt reviewable.
I concur. The officials in the NBA playoffs are a failure.
Never understood why you can call a foul for 3 and 1/2 quarters but can’t call the same foul at the end of the game.
Politics
In a soft and pampered league Anthony Edwards an JB are a breath of fresh air.
Jamal Murray is too good of a player to be acting like that...what a selfish move...never thought he would be one of those guys....
Good guess lately
Leeeeggs

This is 1 white guy I trust with a basketball
thanks, buddy...
Knicks Rig
But Spurs second to the last on the league

Better record this season than last season with a worse roster.
Pls discontinue speaking. Pelinka is the problem and has been for years.

The guy knocked the defensive player over while moving... foul
Well, though he was moving to screen him, which is illegal, he didn't knock him down. DiVin flopped, which, by rule, is a T.
@@MichaelBiermann-u2v Yeah, but do you call a T for flopping if the screen is illegal ?
@@Blacklist324 No, you don't. Should have been a no call for both, IMO.
