Let's talk some basketball. So before I do that, I
do want to say that I am injured right now.
I played basketball on Sunday. My whole side here is

(04:34):
this an excruciating pain. I hurt my legs somehow. Apparently
Sunday I didn't feel hurt. Monday I felt at all.
It was bad. I went to my bobble meeting and
I did this and almost couldn't get back up again,
trying to drive my mom around and stuff like that.
We were playing the youngins. Now again, I'm used to

(04:55):
playing youngins, but this time this was a specialized group
of youngins. We were We were used to playing guys
twenty years younger than us, sometimes thirty years younger than us.
But these guys, some of them were from the tournament
last month that they won the tournament, or they were
the last two teams of the tournament, and some of
them showed up Sunday night. And some of these guys

(05:16):
are like high school seniors or in college playing ball
at a particular university. Okay, so yeah, we got beat
up a little bit, and most of the veterans off
veterans are ogs. After the first game, they sat out
almost the rest of the night. Me I'm like, no,
I'm taking the challenge. We won the first game. Though

(05:36):
we won the first game, my team got blown out
in the second game because somebody basically hauged all the
shots he didn't want basketball. Third game, we almost came
back and won. It was a gritty game. Took a
lot of punishment to try to come back and win.
I played pretty decent, definitely in that last game. First
game I played okay. Second game, I didn't get to

(05:58):
touch the ball. Third I played pretty good, but we lost.
So I now I'm just bruised up and beat up
and stuff. So I'm behind on a lot of around
the atl stuff. So just keep in tune. I'll be
catching up in the very near future. Subscribe so that
way you don't miss him. All right, let's talk defensive ratings.

(06:18):
All right, let me put that back up there real quick.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Where is it.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Defensive ratings? So the whole reason that this subject came
up was a video I did on a Facebook group page,
and I basically was talking about basketball in general, and
then I said, I said this or something to the
effect I don't care about defensive rating as much as

(06:48):
I do how the points were scored in the first place,
and who gave them up, okay, and I'll see if
I can find the video and i'll repost it for
those who didn't see it. Then, So my man Chauncey King,
some of you know, some of you don't. He responded that,
so you don't care about defensive rating, it don't matter, okay.

(07:09):
Now I didn't get a chance to response, to respond
to that directly. I had already left. I was gone,
I was going to nothing. Moms pick her up and
went to our bottle meat and I got back late,
and because I was in so much pain, I took
something for it and I ended up going to sleep.
All right. So this morning I said, I'm going to respond,
but I'm gonna respond, you know, in the detailed way,

(07:30):
because everybody needs to get details. Everybody needs to have
some research throwing at them. When you give an answer,
you can't just throw out just random stuff. I don't
like doing that. I like to break stuff down and
give you a real answer, okay, and show you evidence
of my thoughts and figures and everything else, because I
don't like just saying stuff and just someone was saying,

(07:51):
oh you made that. Oh no, I ain't make anything up.
I don't make things up. That's why I do my
game reviews, because the tape tells you what happened. But
I think, or say, the tape tells.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
You what happened.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
So I said, I'm gonna do a show to respond
directly to that. But what I'm gonna do right now is,
for the second time, say no, I don't care about
defensive rating as much as I do what happened on
the court. How did the other team score points? Who
gave up the bucket? And why did the bucket get

(08:23):
given up? That matters more than a formula. Okay, here's
why I say that. Well, let me say this, ratings
are not points that matters. Okay, So let's talk about

(08:45):
ratings twenty twenty three, This ratings of your Atlanta Hawks.
Mind you, I heard nobody jumping up and down. I
heard nobody screaming from the rooftops. I heard nobody crashing
out knowing this was a fact. From twenty twenty three.

(09:06):
Ay j no longer with the team one twenty defensive rating.
Did y'all care about that? Did that matter to anybody?
That his defensive rating was one twenty? Dijont Murray one
nineteen point five, so basically one twenty raiding. Did anybody
crash out? Get mad? Get upset that DJ had a

(09:30):
one nineteen point five defensive rating on the Atlanta Hawks?
Anybody want to answer that? You can go to the
comments section, or you can go to call six four
six two four four seven nine and let me know
what do you think? Okay, let me let me test

(09:51):
something out real quick here. Congratulations, you played yourself. Okay,
it does work. I was worried for a second there.
I had to test it. I hadn't tested it yet
because I came on late. So that's cool. Oh man,

(10:13):
I shouldn't have played that. I hope my video don't
get black from YouTube anyway. We'll hope for the best.
Where'd I leave off to? Deep Bay? One nineteen point one?
Did anybody crash out that? See? Deep Bay had a
one nineteen point one defensive rating? Anybody Trey Young one

(10:34):
nineteen point one? Now, of course everybody crashes out when
you hear that Trey Young had a one nineteen rating.
But you got three players before I got the Tray
Young had a one nineteen or higher defensive rating than him.
Did anybody crash out? Though? Oh? Conglu Last year one
nineteen Hunter one seventeen point nine, so basically one eighteen

(10:59):
right under one nineteen. Did anybody crash out that the
person who's supposed to be our best defensive player had
a one eighteen defensive rating? Anybody can comment? Were you
mad about this? Did you know this? Did it matter
to you? Fit one seventeen point seven, so basically one eighteen,

(11:19):
Garrison one fifteen point eight, so basically one sixteen, Clint
one fifteen point six, so basically one sixteen, JJ one fifteen,
Muhammad Gay one fifteen, Wesley Matthews one fourteen point nine,
so basically one fifteen, Seth Bogie, Trent one fourteen, Bruno
one thirteen point nine so basically one fourteen, and Dylan

(11:41):
one twelve. Did any of that matter to you? What
I just told you right there? That's twenty twenty three seasons. Anybody, anybody? Anybody?
You can comment in the comment section or call six
four sixty six five two four seven none. I'm checking

(12:01):
to make sure I don't have no calls. Hopefully it works.
It hasn't been working lately, That's why I keep saying that.
But you can call in and let me know. Did
you care about these players having the ratings that I
just told you. Give me a second, just making sure
this is not my mom's hitting me up. I make
sure she's good. Okay, that's just my brother, so he

(12:23):
didn't know I was on the air. Here's a deal.
None of you cared about these defensive ratings. AJ one twenty,
DJ one nineteen point five, BAY one nineteen oh one, nineteen,
Hunter one eighteen, Fit one eighteen. None of you did,
because otherwise there would be hoop law galore about it.

(12:48):
You wanted to concentrate on one player, though, but the
whole team had a bad defensive rating. It was horrible
if you're just going by the rating, right, But since
you wanted to concentrate on one player and blame that one
player for everything, even though he missed twenty eight games himself, right,

(13:10):
you just wanted to blame that one player alone. You
didn't get upset, not one time with all these other
players during what they did, and even though there were
you know, the last eight games of the regular season
in twenty twenty three that I've reviewed here on around
the atl on IMT and worldwide Radio. Make sure you

(13:32):
subscribe the last eight games of twenty twenty three where
we still had a chance to get home court in
the playing tournament. We were gonna be in the plane
no matter what, but we still could have upped the
bulls to get home court. We lost the final seven
games of twenty twenty three, guys, and nobody raised an

(13:55):
eyebrow like the Rock. Nobody folded their arms, nobody rented
their teeth and bawled up your fists. Y'all just didn't care.
Y'all didn't care that Malakai Flynn had fifty points in
the game in Atlanta. Trey Young didn't play that game.

(14:16):
Where were the defensive ratings there? Where was the hooflaw
about Madakai Flynn scoring on everybody on their Hawks team,
including who were supposed to be our best defenders. Well, Chris,
we won the game. We barely won that game. We
had to hold on and win that game at home
against a sixty eight lost team, and no one said
the word do you know what happened? It bled into

(14:38):
the whole rest of the season that one game. I
proved that to y'all. I've shown it to you in
my game reviews. I would suggest go back and watch,
but nobody got mad. Right after that Detroit game Dallas
Mavericks beat US had eighteen threes in that game. Luke
and Kyrie could do anything they wanted to do, along
with a little PJ. Washington. Trey Young didn't play that game,

(15:00):
and doing is mad about losing to the freaking Dallas Mavericks.
Where supposedly, if Trey Young is the worst person of
all time and he ain't there to prevent people from
doing their job on defense, why did we let Luca
hit six threes in Kyrie do anything he wants to
on the court. We couldn't double team one of them.

(15:22):
We couldn't shut down one of them. Wait for Rick,
You couldn't slow down one of them. Misshot is not defense.
Denver right after that Dallas game, scored one hundred and
forty two points against the Atlanta Hawks. They shot sixty
percent from the floor. Trade didn't play this game. They

(15:44):
shot fifty six percent from three. Trade didn't play this game.
They hit twenty three threes in the game. Trade wasn't
in that game. So if Trade is so bad and
he's the reason, explain the Denver game, why didn't we
Why couldn't we compete? Because we didn't compete, can't call
giving up one hundred and forty two points on fifty

(16:06):
six shooting from three sixty percent from the floor competing.
Can you what happened to defensive ratings? Right after that,
you have the Miami Heat game where we lost that
game in double overtime by six points. We gave up
eighteen more threes to the Miami Heat. We gave up
We got djovich Jovich what however you want to pronounce
his name, scored twenty three points. Go look and see

(16:27):
what he's or in the regular season last year. But
against the Hawks he scored twenty three. And then you
got Tyler Herro scoring thirty three, and you got Butler
Jimmy Buckets getting twenty five. Trey Young didn't play that game,
So who's giving up all the points? Nobody crashed out
about this. We had that game one in the first overtime.
I showed you how we ended up going to the second.

(16:51):
And no one says nothing about the wide open threes
that were hit to go to double overtime. There were
two of them. Nobody wants to talk about that. You
just brush over it like it ain't nothing, Like we
ain't losing all these games. We're in the play in.
But we're losing all these games we could have had
home court. Would we have won if we had home court?

(17:12):
Maybe We'll never know, though, because we couldn't move up
in the standard because we're losing game after game after game.
Right after that we played Charlotte Charlotte Hornets, Trace Tray's
first game back. Nobody says anything. How we lost a
game after we had a ninety two to seventy seven
lead in the third quarter going to the fourth quarter

(17:33):
and Trey Young didn't sit because he was on the
ministry stretch and he didn't play the whole fourth quarter.
No one says anything when you have the final score
one fifteen to one fourteen. That team went from seventy
seven points to one hundred and fifteen points, and y'all
didn't crash out. Why I want someone to answer? Let

(17:56):
me make sure. Ain't nobody calling in yet? Nope? I
hope some way, I hope one person calls in or
in these comments and give me an answer. Why aren't
you mad about these things? Because these things actually happened
on the court. Minnesota Timberwolves, nobody got mad that Rudy Gobeer,

(18:17):
of all people, went ten for ten from the field
twenty five points, nineteen rebounds. Who was guarding him? Was
it Trey Young? Did Trey Young allow him to go
ten for ten from the floor. I want you to
go and watch the review that I show you, shot
for shot, How Minnesota Timberwolves scored all those points. We
had two leads in the fourth quarter in that game,
and at the very end of it, we allow Kobe

(18:40):
Buskin to guard Anthony Edwards, one of the best scorers
in the NBA, by himself as a rookie, thinking he's
going to stop them. Where were our best defenders? And
at worst, why didn't we double team? I showed y'all
we had an opportunity the double team on both times.
You never let the best player beat you. The Hawks
do it all the time. I've shown that game after

(19:02):
game after game after game after game. We are the
only ones who won't say, hey, they're hurt, let's make
sure their best player don't beat us. That's what teams
do when they trapp Tray Young, they see us all injured.
Why are they gonna let let Trey do whatever he
wants to on the floor. No, we ain't letting that happens.
Somebody else is gonna have to beat us, Garrison Matthews

(19:24):
is gonna have to beat us. Dump that we're the
only ones who don't do that. And then right after that,
we play the Indiana Pacers and we give up one
hundred and fifty seven points to the Indiana Pacers. It's
the second time in the same season we gave up
one hundred and fifty points to the same freaking team
who gave up all those points. Now in that game,
everybody gave up points in that game, one hundred and

(19:45):
fifty seven points. But the Trey don't give up all
the points. Don't know. He didn't once again, and he
wasn't guarding Siakam or Miles Turner, but a couple of
times he had to. I want to know why, because
people left their man they had to pick up. Y'all
really have an expectation that Trey is gonna stop Sa
Yakham or Males Turner. You're fooling yourselves. Maybe you're drunk high,

(20:09):
I don't know, but you're fooling yourself to have an
expectation of him stopping two premire, premier big men in
the NBA on a regular basis, or even a half
basis for that matter, by the way, they score eighty
points in the paint and shot fifty two from three
in that game where it's defensive ratings. Now go check

(20:35):
and see what Hunter did in that game. By the way,
go check for yourself. And of course it's the Chicago
game to play in game, the last game of the
twenty twenty three season. So you want to try to
blame Trey Young and Trey Young alone for Kobe White
scoring forty two points, Lucovich scoring twenty four points, and
DeRozan scoring twenty two points, the Bulls scoring seventy two

(20:58):
points in the paint and shooting four two percent from three.
You wanna blame that all on one individual player, even
though I show you in the game film, Trey Young
wasn't the one who gave up all those points. Treyjon
didn't give up all those forty two points to Kobe White.
He gave up a couple, but it wasn't forty two points.

(21:18):
He wasn't given up points to Vuevich. Go look and
see who who's guarding Vujevich that game, and de Rozan
definitely not. But nobody was in an uproar about it.
You just shrugged your shoulders off, and no big deal,
we lost the game. Oh we'll blame Trey. Y'all can't

(21:40):
keep absolving the whole team from doing their jobs. You
can't do it because the tape tells you otherwise. Trey
Young is not the best defender, and there are times
where there are times where because of his mysticism of
not playing defense, sometimes he doesn't. Definitely has his moments,

(22:03):
just like all NBA players do. But our team is
not breaking our backs having to help trade on every possession.
That's just not true. It's just not that's just false.
It's a lie, point blank. Is a lie because teams
don't have to concentrate on trying to have Tray Young
guard them. They're not calling for switches to get on

(22:25):
Tray Young because they can score in anybody on our
Hawks team and they do it regularly. You need to
watch these things for yourself. So again, nobody was mad
about any of what I just talked about. And that's
why I know y'all don't care as a group. Don't
care about ratings or you don't and you don't care

(22:47):
about defense. You don't care about it. It doesn't matter
to you. You only care about one person, but not
the Cueto team, and that matters because it's five on five.
I've never seen anybody play one on five in the
NBA or college, or high school or junior high school,

(23:08):
not even pick up. The only time you see one
on one isn't a game of twenty one? Are we
playing twenty one out there? Now? We can talk make sure.
Ain't nobody called in? Six four sixty six, five, two,
four four seven nineers a numbers? You're going to call
in or you can if you're shy, you can comment

(23:28):
in the comments section now because basketball is a team sport, okay,
in since most people can admit that the other players
are equally responsible. And despite that, I've shown you that
Trey Young isn't the player creating all the mismatches. I've
shown you that game after game after game. And despite
showing you that all the players that turn their backs
on assignments right, I've shown you that non rotations, not

(23:53):
getting back on defense right, not blocking out, not switching,
not fighting through screens, not calling out the defense. Chris
to your left, Chris to your right, Chris, you're by yourself,
Chris switch The Hawks don't do any of those things
people point. That's not defense. You got calling out, that's

(24:13):
not pointing. Nobody can hear a point. Why do y'all
believe that pointing is is? Okay? Do y'all do it?
So excuse me for not caring about ratings that much
when most of y'all don't care about ratings, because if
you did, you'd be talking about these things every day,

(24:35):
wouldn't you. I care about how teams store against us
and why it's not being fixed. So that being said,
story time two years ago, I was in that I
went to a game in Atlanta. Now I lived two
hours away from Atlanta, all right, so when I have
season tickets, I'm taking a two hour trip to go
see my team play. Basketball contacts for you all right now,

(25:00):
this particular time period two years ago, in November, the
Atlanta Hawks had just beat the Milwaukee Bucks one twenty
one to one oh six. The Bucks at the time
were ten and two. It so pretty good, right, So
the Hawks were going to be playing Boston the very
next game. I think it was two days after. They

(25:21):
were playing at home. It was an ESPN game. Doris
Burke was there. I think I actually went on Live
to say, hey, I see Doris Burke and the other dude, Doris, Hey, Doris,
you know right, and that halftime I think it was
either Gezy or Gucci Mane who was going to perform.
And you could tell for all the outfits that people

(25:43):
were wearing that particular night. Again, I had went on
live for a little bit and kind of comment on it,
if you'll some of y'all might remember that, all right,
it was hysterical. I'm thinking it was Gucci because I
kept talking about Snowman. Yeah, let me sa Anyway, So

(26:03):
that was the game. This game the Hawks lost won
twenty six to one on one. Now, again going back
to context, we had just beat a really good Milwaukee
team on the road, so how in the world do
we come back and lose the Boston Celtics. And again
it's two years ago, so this had been the twenty
twenty two season, the season where later on that year

(26:26):
we actually met the Boston Celtics in the playoffs, which
if it wasn't for the fact that we could have
nobody slow down either Jason Tatum or Brown, who averaged
twenty seven and twenty two points a game in the playoffs, respectively,
the Hawks would have beat the Boston Celtics because Trey
Young couldn't be stopped in the playoffs. Kind of counts

(26:47):
a little bit. And y'all watched that, and you still
want to try to blame Trey Young somehow, averaging twenty
nine and ten in the playoffs. But that's okay. Anyway,
back to the story. So I'm still in my seat,
and I got all these Boston y'allhoos around me. Six
four six sixty five, two four four seven nineers the number,
just checking make sure nobody called in dalking comment. What

(27:10):
times eleven thirty. So I'm in my seat and I
got all these Boston y'ahoos screaming and all this, saying
all kind of crazy stuff. And I'm defending my team
because that's what I do when I come to games.
My job, all right, And I'm saying this, and I'm
saying that or whatever. But then I'm looking around. Look
where all the other hosts stands that trying to help
me out like a y'all y'all being pumped out in

(27:32):
your own home stadium. What are y'all doing? Y'all are
acting like y'all not even oh my bad, y'all here
for Jeezi. Huh oh, y'all here for swag surfing, and
believe it or not, there and they're a certain point,
the regular point of the game where they swashed herp
they swashed her. Anyway, we're getting to beat the Brakes,
beat off of us, and they wanted to swash her.

(27:52):
And that's when I got off and left. I went
on and got on two hour my two hour ride
back home. I was like, yeah, I'm out here. This
is a ridiculous and we were getting beat again. We
lost that game, won oh six, and it wasn't even
really that close. So again this is why I say,

(28:14):
here's evidence again people don't really care. People really don't care.
Put y'all out there swag surfing, y'all here for jeezy.
Y'all got y'all's money's worth. Y'all don't care about what
happens on the floor, not really, because if he did,
you would look at why we lost this game. So
how did we lose? So let's talk about the Bucks

(28:35):
game that we won. First. In that game, Hunter was
six or fifteen from the floor, so not great. Forty
it's not great. He was two or three from three,
that's good. He had ten free throws in that game.
He was ten to ten. That's pretty good and that
also cruised he can do it. You know, when you
hit some free throws in the game, you scoring more points.
He averages three free throw attempts a game. That means

(28:58):
you're not going to the basket, sir. But anyway, he
had twenty four points in that game. John Collins also
didn't have a good night, shooting six to fifteen. He
only hit one three. He had nine boys are still
in the block. He had sixteen points. Clint probably had
one of his best games as a Hall. He was
nine of eleven from the field. That's eighty one percent.
Also proves he can do it. Had ten boards, two blocks,

(29:22):
nineteen points. One of Clint had nineteen points every game. Man,
we wouldn't lose a lot of games. DJ was six
or fourteen from the floor forty two percent, one of
four from three, six or seven from the free throw line,
had eight boys five assists for nineteen points. Tray seven
and nineteen from the floor two of five from three,
five three throws, hit nine assists twenty one points. So

(29:44):
the start lineup played pretty decent high double figures for everybody.
The Bucks twenty seven from Giannis both Champs who was
playing at the time for injured whoever at twenty a
friend Bobby Portis at four teen and ten. So how
did we beat the Bucks? The Bucks actually had forty

(30:04):
eight points in the paint, They had sixteen second chance points,
nineteen fast grade points. They were even with the Bucks
on boards and assists. The Hawks only had nine turnovers
to the Bucks fifteen, so that was part of it.
They held the Bucks to forty one percent shooting, though,
and twenty percent from three. They only had six threes

(30:28):
in that game, so that's how they won that game.
So what the heck happened in the Boston game?

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Then?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Right? Six four six sixty five two four four seven nine,
or you can comment. In that second game, that Boston game,
right after a really good road when the Hawks came back,
Hunch was four to thirteen from the floor. That's thirty percent.
He hit two threes or thirteen points. He went from

(30:58):
how many boys did he have in that first game?
Let me see, so I listed No, I didn't, so
I can't list it. But he only had four boys
in the game as well. John had a better shooting night.
He was fixed to twelve from the floor. He didn't
hit a three, He only had three boards, though he
had twelve points. Clint went from eight of eleven from

(31:18):
the floor to three and three, eight boys and seven points.
He was a definite non factor in this game. DJ
had decent night, shooting nine to seventeen from the floor
fifty two percent. He hit a three, half five assists,
three boards, had nineteen points. Trey ten or twenty three
from the floor two to seven from three, had five boys,

(31:38):
nine assists, twenty seven points, only had one turnover. So
how did we get blown out then? Because that's still
not two bad except for the seven points from Clint
Boston Grant Williams was six or ten from the floor
at sixty percent, obviously had nineteen points. Who was going

(31:59):
Grant Williams. Tatum had nineteen now he didn't shoot well
from the floor that night. Brown had twenty two, though
White had sixteen. Porford only had seven. So right there,
you would think it'd be a little bit even, right
six four six, six two four four to seven niners
a number you want to call in and chat chat

(32:20):
about this subject defensive rating. The sorry lineup really didn't
beat us in this Boston game. Remember the final score
was one twenty six to one oh one. So what happened?
Boston had fifty points in the paint they were they
had ten second chance points, fifteen fast grade points, but

(32:44):
that's not even the reason team loss. Boston did have
more turnovers in the Hawks. They had fourteen turnovers to
the Hawk's nine. They had a few more assists, but
that's not the reason either. One to know why Boston
shot fifty four percent from the floor and forty five
percent from three. And then on top of that, Boston's

(33:06):
bench Howser and Cordnett had fifteen each and Pritchard had
fourteen forty four points off the bench. How many did
the Hoss have off the bench? Twenty three? There's your
score right there. She is always a way to see
how a team actually lost, and you have to be
able to break it down her what actually happened. You

(33:29):
gotta be willing to look, though, and some people just
ain't willing to look. They just shot their shoulders and
just blame it on Trey Young And I'm like, well,
can't do that with this one. I just told you
so again when you asked me about ratings defensive ratings.
I don't care as much as the score. The score

(33:50):
of that matters on how you win or lose a game,
because that's something that you that's something that translates into
the winn or lost the actual score. Now, the rating
is not a score. A rating is a formula determination
of what may or may not happen. But factually it isn't.

(34:10):
So some people can have a good rating and your
team still performs bad. Showing you all that a little bit.
So here's the definition of a defensive rating. I told
you earlier that I would get to it. I'm hoping
that a few people you know, hung around or whatnot.
That's the wrong button six four six six two four
four seven nine. But again you can comment if you're

(34:32):
too shy to call in and talk about this subject. Okay,
what is the formula of defensive player of rating? So,
and let me see if I can read this correctly.
But you got player, so for the players, you got
stealing blocks, Okay, plus the opponent's differential, and it's one

(34:57):
fifth of possessions. Times you're blown by plus deflections. So
when a person blows val you how many deflections? Right?
And we're talking about all the possessions of the other team,
and you're one fifth and that plus the players on

(35:18):
your side stills in blocks and what they use is
the official adjusted players defensive withstand. That's the is an acronym,
the acronym for it. Also part of this, this stat
can be influenced by the defense of other player's teammates. Now,

(35:40):
as soon as I say that there's gonna be people
over there, you go, trade is influencing this stat because
if it's terrible, bad defense and stuff like that, it
could be effected. But do you not know that means
that is the whole team that can affect that particular
stat is the whole team's defense. Because again I've shown

(36:04):
game after game after game, possession after possession after possession.
Trey is not the one that creates a lot of mismatches.
What creates a lot of our mismatches. I'm gonna get
to that. But again, a lot of y'all can't and

(36:25):
won't admit that five players are playing on the floor
against another five players. And despite again I'm gonna just
repeat this one more time, despite the fact that I've
shown you hours of game film of Atlanta Hawks basketball,
of players like Clint creating a mismatch because he won't
stay on his man. He's standing in the paint even
though his man is at the three point line. That means,

(36:48):
by definition, either that man has a wide open shot
or somebody else is guarding him. Now, that's a mismatch,
not created by Trey Young or JJ giving up his man.
There is a possession in the I want to say

(37:08):
the Boston game that I saw where JJ just discontinues
staying with his man and his man just goes down
the lane. It's ridiculous. It's not even it's ridiculous. But
y'all don't you're not concerned with that for some reason.
Or when Galison is standing in the paint, he is

(37:29):
standing in the paint and his man is at the
three point line thirty feet away, and then he gets
mad when that three goes in the basket like it
ain't his fault. Directly, You've got nothing to do with
Trey Young. Garrison is not on his man, that's his man.
Trade is on his man. So how do you attribute
someone's defensive rating base off of just a lack of contact?

(37:51):
That's crazy talk right there. You want to acknowledge it though,
that's what concerns me, and despite the reson which is
a loss, we'll win these games. That's wild to me
right there. I don't understand that part, especially when trade
miss twenty eight of those games. We should have won
all those games, according to most of y'all, we should

(38:13):
have went twenty eight. No, and we didn't. Again, if
Trey was the reason and the only reason the whole
team couldn't stop teams, explain why we couldn't stop teams
with tray off the floor, and nobody will do it,
and I don't think nobody can do it. You sureculy
can't show me tape of one on five play because

(38:34):
that's the only argument you would have is that Trey
Young is playing the center, the power floward, the small floor,
the shooting guard, and the point guard in all games
by himself. That's the only way you can give me
that argument, that Trey Young is the reason we lose
all the games because of his defense because he can't
stick all five players at the same time, then you
would have an argument that we can talk about. That's

(38:55):
not basketball. That's not a sport that exists. When that
sport becomes available, now we have an argument. You'll call
it the big one, call ice Q six four sixty
six two four seven dollars a number, or if you're shy,
you can comment. But that's why, that's actually why I

(39:18):
started doing reviews, because again, until you see the entire picture,
you can't really comment on a single aspect, like until
you see the majority of the points actually being stored,
no matter how much you want to ignore it or
dispel it or shrug your shoulders off all this kind

(39:38):
of stuff, and you see it's not actually because of
Trey Young and Trey Young alone, and it's not because
people have to help on Tray Young. You can't really
comment about what you think is wrong with the team
when I'm showing you what's actually wrong with the team. Again,
game films don't lock. It's there for everybody to look at,
you know, the NBA dot Com right now, when any

(40:00):
game you can go to play by play, you can
go to each shot yourself. I just happen to do
it for you now if you choose out to watch,
that's not my fault, but I'm suing you what actually
happens in these games. And it's upsetting that you don't
want to acknowledge that, Like Roman reigns or whatever. Right again,
the Hawk should be sixty and oh if Trey is

(40:21):
that bad on defense when Trey is not playing, because
Trey has missed sixty games in his entire career, the
Hawks are not sixty and oh in those games that
he's not playing. They're not fifty and ten. They are
not forty and twenty. They are twenty seven and thirty three.
That doesn't have to convince you, but it should make

(40:42):
you think a little bit. Now, facts, because I like
to talk about facts. Six four sixty sixty five two
four four seven nine, And y'all not gonna call him
for real? Come on now, call in, let me know
what you think. I know you might be at work.
Sneak away. Y'all do it for the other shows, right mom,

(41:03):
Because this is what y'all want to talk about. Defensive
rating does it matter or not? Right I signal went
out for a second. Defensive rating doesn't matter or not.
This is all y'all. This is what y'all want to
talk about, So we're talking about it. I'm taking time
out from everything else and I'm doing to some stuff

(41:25):
I'm supposed to be doing right now, at eleven forty
two am to talk about this subject. So I really
want someone to call in and talk about six four
six six four four seven nine, or you can hit
the comments section. But here's a fact. Geandre Hunter in
five years hasn't played a look at defense. It's more
than provable. I've done shows about it. But in five

(41:47):
seasons he's not good at any aspect of defense. Is
He's not in the top twenty of any defensive category
in the NBA and hasn't been. Has he is that
a lie? Block? Shots, steels, charge is taken. He's not
even a team leader on charges taken on his own team.
How is that possible? Trey is so stills Trey is

(42:11):
though right now Trey Young actually has one more block
than Hunter, just saying anyway, he's not a defender. He's
not locking down nobody, But we trash Trey who we

(42:31):
don't have an expectation of playing. We don't have no
expectation of Trey Young being the best defender on the team.
We want him to be a better defender, and year
after year he's proven he has gotten better and better
at defense. Because there was a time he was really
bad at defense. We all know that he admits it,
but he's nowhere near what he was when he came
in as a rookie. He's much better, and again I

(42:52):
can prove that because he's not the one giving up
all the points he's night. I can prove it. I've
shown it to you. You watched DJ play no defense
last year. If your defensive rating matters, how can it
matter on one person but not the other. He had
a one nineteen point five defensive rating last year, guys,
and played no defense. He stopped nobody. Shooting guards averaged

(43:16):
thirty points a game against the Atlanta Hawks, and small
fours average twenty seven the game against Atlanta Hawks. How
come he ain't shutting nobody down. He's supposed to be
the shut down guy, the guru. The defender didn't happen
last year, though. You watch Clint give up three after

(43:37):
three after three, lay up after layup after layup, and
y'all not mad about that. Y'all actually defend him somehow
and got nothing to do with trade the twenty eight
games straight didn't play. He's still blaming him for all
those layups. But here's the other part of that. That's
your job. You're the help defender. You're the big. If

(44:01):
somebody gets beat at the top, you're supposed to defend.
Are you telling me he's giving up points on purpose?
That's interesting concept, isn't it. But that's what you almost
have to admit. Oh, you know, Trey got beat or
Hunter got beat at the top, or Zachary got beat
at the top, or JJ got beat at the top.

(44:21):
So that's not my job anymore. I'm gonna just stay
with my man. That's not basketball, folks. That's why I
always talk about me playing ball. My job is to
stop my man from scoring. But if one of my
guys get beat, I gotta switch. I can't let you
get a layup that's crazy tall you're getting foul, or

(44:41):
I'm blocking your shot. It's one of the two. I'ma
make it hard for you to score. I make you
think about it next time to computing you down. Y'all
don't like that though. For some reason, y'all don't want
that to happen. For some reason, y'all, y'all don't mind
them conceiving baskets all the time. I've shown some really

(45:02):
dastardly conceives of shots the last couple of games, which
is why that young that one young man on my
show says disheartening what he's seeing. And when John h
John Harris the other night when I did the OKC review,
he was like, Clint, moved out of the way and
let that man lay the ball up. Replay that again, Chris, Chris,

(45:25):
you need to post that clip right there, because I
didn't notice that. Chris, Chris, this is bad. Clint does
it all the time. That's wild to me that y'all
defend that. Y'all want to harp on one player, but
y'all don't care about all the other players not playing
a look of defense. A look of defense. Game film

(45:47):
doesn't lie, and game film matters more because it shows
you what actually happens on the basketball court, What happened
each possession, What was the actual reason for the points
being scored by the opposite team. That has to matter
because that's real life. It's not Ai, not the matrix.

(46:15):
Oh damn God, that hurt Shinda did that. I ain't
take enough medicine. Apparently I'm gonna pay for that the
rest of the morning. After showing you what one player
isn't responsible for and giving up all the points, people

(46:37):
are silent, hush, hush, okay, and let's see if I
got anything. Let me see if I can and at
worst I should hear, you know what I'm saying. At worst,
I should hear. Let's see if I can find it.

(46:58):
I don't remember where everything is anymore because I hadn't
used this in such a long time. What is it
labeled as? It's only there, somewhere there it is. You

(47:20):
see what I'm saying and doing it, y'all don't care
about it. That's why though, y'all don't care about only
one thing and that and that's you hate Trey Young
so much that you've absolved the whole team from doing
their jobs. Because it's their job to play defense. And
it's some people's jobs to play better defense than others

(47:41):
because they're supposed to be better. That's the whole reason
other teams are better than the Hawks, because you know
what they do. They look at Luca and say, Luca
is trash at defense. Let's put a whole bunch of
people around that are better, that can play better, that
can play better situational basketball than Luca can. That's what

(48:02):
all these other teams do, Boston. Let's put we can
put a whole team together, defenders on our team, whole team.
The Knicks just put a hole. Let's put some more
players around Brunson. Let's keep let's keep doing that. That's

(48:23):
what you do. You put people around your best player.
The Hawks don't do that. The Hawks didn't do it
for Dominique. Wilkins twelve seasons said, naw, Dominique is enough
by himself against all these legacy players and teammates. We're
not We're not gonna na. We're not gonna do it.
We're gonna just let him wallow in the mayer in

(48:43):
the playoffs. As he's scoring twenty six a game. And
you know, we got people who scoring thirteen eight five,
and that's okay. Those who are Hawks fans were all
really okay with Scott Haysings being one of your leading
scores on your team. Really, like, for real, in real life,

(49:06):
I'm really asking that question. Nobody wants to answer it.
Though for some reason, I did a whole show about
rosters the sixty win team. What did we do after
that to be more competitive? We get to the Eastern
Conference finals and Trey Young's third year in the NBA,
what did we do to say not only we're gonna
get to the Eastern Conference Finals again the next season,
but we're gonna win it. What did we do on

(49:27):
the roster? Go check? I told you, I showed you.
But none of y'all were up in the arms in
that either huh. And none of y'all were talking about
defense back then either, by the way, not one. As
you were rolling through the East, Trey Yon just taking
it to people, y'all don't really care about these things.
You don't. So let's talk about the elephant in the room.

(49:54):
What are these tenets of defense that I keep talking
about that the Hawks don't do right. First of all,
you don't have no pride on defense. You have to
want to stop somebody. You have to in your heart
be I can't let you score, no matter what mentality
to play defense. So fast breaks, we never stopped the

(50:17):
ball on a fast break. We won't do it. We
won't do it right. Rotating to the open man. So again,
whether or not your man gets bumped, whether your man
gets screened, whatever the case is, if there's an open man,
you need to be rotating to that open man, not

(50:38):
watching the ball handler and ignoring the open man. What
is that? It's not defense? Not defense. Blocking out that
ball is in the air, you're supposed to attach yourself
to a player, and just because it's not your man,
that does not absolve you from blocking out that man.

(51:00):
And when I say block out, I don't mean touching
a guy and saying this is my guy. I mean
you're hindering the advancement of that player to be able
to get the ball once it comes off the rim.
I do not mean blocking out somebody before the shot
goes up, because now you're not playing defense at all.

(51:20):
That's not defense. I've shown too many hours of tape
that should enraged you to see people blocking out people
instead of contesting a shot. And y'all don't care about that.
Contesting shots. I'm standing. Let's say if I'm standing, this
is not contesting a shot. Let's say if I'm standing

(51:43):
and I got my hands like this, that is not
contesting a shot. Let's say if I'm standing and my
hand is up but I'm nowhere near my man, that
is not contesting a shot. Let's say I'm standing and
my hand is up and I'm going to my man,

(52:04):
but I don't jump. That's not contesting a shot. Contesting
a shot is you're within two feet of your man
and you're jumping to deter that shot. If they still
hitting the shot with hand and face. Okay, if we
don't do any of those things. I just showed you

(52:25):
we don't do it. Not enough on every possession, not enough.
And I've shown you the tape showing you how I
can prove that too, Because then I'm about to get
to that. It's gonna get real disgusting really soon. Stay
with your assignment on a fast break. One of the
reasons we were so bad at fast break points given

(52:46):
up last year is when that ball comes off the
rim and we didn't block out, the other team is
running and this is what the Hawks are doing. That's
what the Hawks do. Other teams when that ball comes
off the rim kill and we because we don't stay

(53:10):
on our assignments, we don't know who's on who. We
don't ever talk it out. Which is the next one.
If we would just stay with our assignment all the time,
we wouldn't give up that many fast break points. If
we would just stop the ball, we wouldn't give up
that many fast break points. We would just get back

(53:34):
on defense. We wouldn't give up that many fast break
points that killed us Last year. We were twenty eighth
in the NBA in fast break points giving up. We
were twenty six and blocked shots. We weren't contesting any shots.
We were twenty fifteen points in the paint giving up.
We ain't blocking out nobody. We're not rotating. We're not
rotating like we're just not gonna rotate. We're not gonna

(53:57):
fight through a screen. We're not going to communicate and
call it screens in the first place so we can know, hey,
we need to switch. No, we're just gonna let this
man score. We're gonna just conceive the shot. Which is
why overhelping kills us last year because instead of actually realizing, hey,
I actually don't need to go to him because my
man actually made it through the screen. So let me

(54:19):
stay with my man, or just call out the switch
and switch back if you have to, or double team
somebody to eliminate a possible mismatch. We don't do any
of those things as a team, have shown it to you,
and still nobody is mad. And I just questioned half
of y'all in that how can you not be mad
at all those things? I just dictated to y'all. It's

(54:41):
strange to me, and you double down on it as
if none of it matters. And I'm like, y'all don't
play basketball. Y'all have never played basketball in your loss.
And I would never want to play with any of
you because none of y'all all about winning. You're about
being selfish. You only want to do for you and
not your teammates, because that's the job. When you're on

(55:03):
the court, whatever happens, you're partially responsible for it. And
some of you got to be better than other people.
That's just what it is. See, there are some people
who can score better than others. That's why there's people
in the NBA that have been in the NBA for
fifteen years because they can't score worth a dog gone,
but they can stop you from scoring really well. I

(55:23):
did a whole show about defenders who averaged five, seven
eight points a game, but for seven eight years they
were either a first second team All Defensive Player or
Defensive Player of the Year candidate for seven, eight, nine,
ten years in a row. But they couldn't score work
a dog gone. That's how you can stay in the NBA.

(55:44):
And y'all don't care about that. That we don't have
nobody like that on our well, dyphan now, but we
haven't had nobody like that before the last time we've
had anybody on our team make a defensive team was
Paul Millsap second team. Y'all, how long ago did Paul
Millsapp play on our team? Think about that? And we
only have one defensive player of the year, that's the Cambemtumbo.

(56:07):
How many times did he do that? And y'all don't
care about that that all of these years we have
putting nobody, but all these other teams they have though,
and y'all can't see the difference. Y'all don't have a
problem with that. That's just strange to me. So it
will always come down to again, points in the paint,

(56:29):
second chance points, fast great points, three pointers given up.
Now again, I've already told you the Hawks are twenty
fiftheen points in the paint, twenty six in blocks, twenty
eighth and fast great points. And we gave a fourteen
three is a game last year, by the way, fourteen
this season twenty twenty four. There are some improvements in

(56:51):
some cases. All right, let's just make sure I have
because I don't have a calling. I'm shocked that y'all
not calling in, which just kind of tells me a
lot of y'all just don't care. That's fine, though, but
at least it's on the record, because I like putting
things on the record. This season, right now, the Hawks
are twenty fourth in defensive rebounds. It's near the bottom.

(57:13):
What's one of the reasons we don't block out? Still
twenty second and second chance points. That's bad. Again, we
don't rotate, we don't block out. We're sixteenth in fast
break points, and that's an improvement so far. That means
to an extent we're doing it a little bit better

(57:35):
job of getting back. On defense, we're fourteenth in blocks
per game. Again, so far, that's an improvement. Now, so far,
you got Zach with six blocks, Dyson has four, Clint
has six, Tray has two, JJ has seven blocks so far. Okay,
as I aforementioned, Hunter has one block so far. He's
played two games. He's not gonna have too much more

(57:57):
than that, though I've shown you all that already. His
career average on blocks tells you what you need to know.
Be on contesto shocks. We are currently fifth in points
in the paint. Now, I've said this in previous shows.
We've done a better job so far, but part of it, unfortunately,
is the following. Now, right now, we're fifteen points in

(58:20):
the paint at forty two point nine. Okay, so that
part is good. But the Hawks are thirtieth right now
in the NBA at three pointers giving up each game
at seventeen a freaking game. Now, y'all tell me, y'all
spend that for me, and tell me how that's a positive,
and tell me how one person, and one person alone
is responsible for Explain that to me. When you get

(58:44):
to this point, if you're not watching this live and
you get to this later in the day or whatever,
I want you to comment at that point in time,
at the fifty nine thirty two mark, on why being
last in the NBA and three pointers given up as
a positive. I want you to explain it to Like,
I'm a shot seventeen a game. We gave up fourteen

(59:05):
a game last year. We're at seventeen right now. Explain
it to me. The reason right now we're fiftheen points
in the paint giving up the other reasons because of

(59:26):
all these threes, that's a lot of threes. Don't y'all
think if people are hitting seventeen, how many are they
shooting on us? That means the majority of their shots
are from the outside. That's a fact. But why are
we giving them up? Why we don't rotate, We don't
call out defenses. We won't fight through switches. We won't.
We won't fight through a switch. We won't, we won't hedge,

(59:50):
We don't get up on our mand to prevent the
natural screen. Half of these are bubble screens or those screens,
or not even the screen, and our guys still can't
determine and what's what, and they screen themselves like that's
just the laziest thing to be screened on your own
just cause. But because you want to show that you're
playing defense, you're gonna grab the guy so that way

(01:00:12):
you can't move. That's bull And I've shown you the
tape showing that too many times. The Hawks currently right
now are giving forty six percent from the floor shooting.

(01:00:33):
Effective field goal percentage is a statistic that just field
goal percentage should account for the three point. Field goals
count for three points, while all other field goals only
account for two points. If goal is to show what
field goal percentage a two point shooter would have to
shoot at to match the output of a player who

(01:00:53):
also shoots three pointers. So for the effective field goal percentage,
what is that for the Hawks? Percent How is that positives?
On two point field goals? The Hawks give up fifty
one point nine percent shooting. On three point field goals,
the Hawks give up thirty nine point eight percent. That

(01:01:15):
is third worse than the NBA. Only the seventy six
ers and the Clippers are worse. We give up seventeen
to threes a game at thirty nine point eight percent percentage.
How is that on? One person? Explain it to me?
I want someone to explain it, or just tell me
you don't care, because see, I won't have to do

(01:01:36):
this if you just say I don't care and I
acknowledge that none of the Hawks play defense, because then
I wouldn't have to do these reviews at all. The
only reason I started doing these reviews is because all
of y'all hate one player, and you blame one player
for the problems of the team. Oh, by the way,
the Hawks give up an average of forty two point

(01:01:58):
eight he camps each year. That is the worst in basketball.
So they give up seventeen threes a game at thirty
nine percent thirty nine point eight, basically forty percent from three,
and they give up forty two point eight, basically forty
three shots a game from the three point line? Are
you kidding me? See, if you don't want to do

(01:02:20):
the work of fighting all this out, you don't realize
all these things. I got time, Yet after all of this,
I'm supposed to be convinced to blame it on one
singular player. And that's wild to me. These are team issues.

(01:02:41):
Can't give up forty two to three. Three is a
game The NBA is shooting forty three threes a game
on the Hawks guys for forty two and they're hitting
thirty nine percent of them. They're hitting seventeen three is
a game against the Atlanta Hawks right now. That is happening.
That is real life. What about the ratings, though, Chris,

(01:03:01):
What about the defensive ratings? Y'all go look up the
current defensive ratings if y'all want you all right, twenty
twenty three defensive ratings and that should have made you mad,
and it didn't, So why should I give you twenty
twenty four ratings? They ain't gonna make no difference, because
I just told you what was making a difference right now.
You can't win giving up forty two threes at thirty

(01:03:24):
nine point eight percent and seventeen total threes a game.
You can't win like that, not unless you score one
hundred and forty five points a game. But anyway, which
gives me to my next point. We're twenty six, we're
twenty second and second chance points, sixteenth and fast break points.

(01:03:46):
We give up one hundred and twenty one point nine
points each game currently. Guys, that's one hundred and twenty
two points a game. That's twenty eighth in the NBA.
That's a mathematical fact. One player can't give up one
twenty one zero point nine by themselves. It's not happening.

(01:04:07):
In contrast, there are fourteen teams that give up one
hundred and ten points or less in the NBA this season.
Believe it or not, it's possible. And again, one player,
for all that you would, you can't say it. The
Knicks play again. Put a bunch of players on the
team that can play some defense. Dallas has some players

(01:04:27):
around Luca that can play some defense. Loston OKC of course,
who is first on that list at ninety six a
game they give up ninety six. Spurs are on the list.
Go to Staate is on the list. The Clippers are
on that list. Currently, there's fourteen teams that give up
one hundred and ten points for less. Miami, of course

(01:04:51):
is on that list. The Clippers are on that list,
with James Harden on the team that was on that list.
But remember, it's not just the players, it's coaching. Coaching
their players and know where they're supposed to be and
do what they're supposed to do on each possession, calling
out defenses, calling out switches, picking up man on a
fast break. There is no reason in the world to

(01:05:13):
be like, Okay, for whatever reason, I ain't on my man,
picking on my man. I got yours done. But we
won't even do that as a team. In the Wizards
games I'm working on right now, which is the game
Game five of the season, there is a point where
the Washington Wizards ran They played twice on the Hawks

(01:05:35):
and we didn't do anything about it. And Jordan Poole
hit two straight threes doing the exact same thing on
two of the same plays. That's what coaching Jordan Poole
on two possessions in a row, hit two threes running
the same play, and the Hawks did nothing to adjust. Nothing.

(01:06:02):
And then and then after those two positions, Jordan Poole
hit another three. Right after that, he had three straight
threes and we did nothing. We did nothing at points.
So it's okay for nine points to be scored. And
guess what, Trey young And had nothing to do with it.
It was a pick and roll and Trey wasn't being

(01:06:24):
pitched well one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
He was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
All old. Had to do o'congo. All you have to
do is come up. That's that's the rule. You get pitched.
Your man now has to switch. He has to come
up and guard that man. You know what our bigs do,
which is why I keep talking about not having a
big man coach. Our bitch always goes back the other way.
They're conceding the basket. They're gonna go guard the paint

(01:06:50):
even though their ma is not in the paint. Every time,
like before the play even starts, the biggest back already
like there's no just wait until I show that clip.
It's ridiculous. It takes a whole team to play defense. Obviously,

(01:07:11):
and it takes several players to not give up points
in a game. Again, I want you to explain to
me when you get to this point, the one hour
eight minute mark, how one player can give up seventeen
threes a game. Now, one player can give up seven
threes in the game. I showed you that in the

(01:07:31):
Dallas game last year, where both he gave up seven
threes twenty one points by himself. Seven seven seven wasn't
a lucky number that particular game. Seven threes. That's okay, though,
are you sure? And this is why when I do
my game reviews, at the end of the game, I

(01:07:53):
actually show you how many points each player gave up,
not just one player, the whole team. Here's what this
person did here, and how many threes they actually gave
up as well. That's why I break that down so
you can see it for yourself, because until you see
it for yourself, you're not gonna believe it. You won't
believe it. You can't believe it until you see it. Right,

(01:08:13):
Some of you see what you you know, you believe
only what you see by show it to you. But
some still don't matter. It won't matter to them. They
won't care they're still going to absolve the whole team
from doing their job. That's that's fine, but it won't
be because you didn't see it though. The only way

(01:08:35):
the Hawks can really like subsidize all this and get
over this hump would be the average more than one
twenty one point nine points a game that they're giving up.
That's what Pacers did last year. They said, we dare
you that try to outscore us. We dare you the
missus shot we running. We ain't gonna play no defense.
We're just gonna score it. We're gonna outscore you. They

(01:08:56):
actually made the Eastern Conference Finals doing that. But for
the Hawks to do that again, they're scoring one hundred
and fifteen points a game. Right now, that's a lot
of points, but not where you're giving up one hundred
and twenty one point nine. It's one hundred and twenty two.
The Hawks would have to flip that and score one
hundred and thirty a game. That means we gotta score

(01:09:17):
fifteen more points. Where we're getting fifteen more points from
when we get you know, some of the guys back
who are injured. Possibly maybe could be, but we shouldn't
have to because one hundred and fifteen should be plenty.
Why can't we just hold these teams to I don't know,
one hundred and thirteen points a game, one hundred fourteen

(01:09:40):
points a game. Hey, if we could hold teams to
one hundred and fourteen points a game, we'd be undefeated.
Right now, y'all know that. Yn't realize that, right I
just told you that there are fourteen teams that hold
clubs under one hundred and ten points or less. Why
can't we just be in the middle of the pack
game to give up on one hundred and fourteen a game. Hey,

(01:10:02):
if we gave up one hundred and fifteen a game,
we got fifty to fifty, we can win every game.
But we can't do it giving up one hundred and
twenty one point nine points a game. Trey Young doesn't
play the whole game, so why are you blaming it
all on him when there's twelve other players or ten
other players on the court. That's that's the folly of

(01:10:23):
your your brain wanting to try to blame one player. Guys,
it's not about one player. It's about the whole team.
And I'm showing it to you game after game after game. Now,
real brief a game like that game last night, and
again I didn't get to see it. I haven't watched
it yet. I just saw the box score and everything

(01:10:44):
like that. We have a bad shooting night, like I saw. Yeah,
that that definitely can be the reason why you lose
a game like that. But at the same time, there's
a portion of that game you were even with the
Boston Celtics, right, I saw the box score. Wasn't supposed
to be looking at the game, but I glance send
a little bit. Let me pull it up real quick.

(01:11:16):
I'm trying to do this in real time. So give
me a second. Here, this nice March. What month is this? November?
There it is? No, that's not it either, is it? No?
That's coming all right, give me a second. Remember what

(01:11:37):
was yesterday? November four? There you go. I should have
had this pulled up. I don't know why. If this
is the end of the show for me today, why
does this look different all of a sudden? Okay, so,

(01:11:59):
first quarter the score is thirty five thirty. Second quarter
score went from thirty five thirty to seventy five fifty three.
So when did it change? Because at the nine look

(01:12:23):
at the nine twenty six mark, it was forty one
to forty one at the seven forty nine mark. It
was forty six forty four, Boston six fifty four mark,
it was fifty two forty seven. It was fifty three

(01:12:48):
forty seven at the six twenty nine mark. So like
what I mean again, I hadn't gotten to watch the game.
I got a chance to break it down or whatnot.
But somebody had to defend some of these guys. Well,

(01:13:08):
who's who's defending Tatum this whole night? I don't know.
I wasn't I didn't get to watch the game. Yeah,
I'll break it down eventually, but I'm just looking at
who hit shots in this particular course. I see Howser,
Richard hitting some threes, White hitting some threes, Richard again
hitting another three. I've seen a lot of here that's

(01:13:28):
not good. Tatum with for three, White wo for three,
White Wolf for three, kill a lot of free throws
in there too. It ain't it ain't just one person.
One person having a bad shooting night definitely does not help,
for sure. But you still got to defend everybody, though,

(01:13:52):
because if you still just defend your shots, you're still
in the game. We give up seventeen threes a game?
How many how many threes that Boston Celtics hitting this,
Let's go check that real quick. They hit Oh wait,
exact quarter, fourth quarter, all quarters too, hit eighteen threes

(01:14:14):
in the game. They shot fifty five threes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
My god, what in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
So after I just said, how we give up forty
here at the bottom of the league, how many threes?
How many total threes we give up? How many total
threes we actually give up being made? And then at
the percentage that we do, which is thirty nine? Basically,
I go and look, and we gave up eighteen threes
in the game. Who gave up eighteen threes? When I

(01:14:41):
get to this game, I'm gonna be upset. I have
a feeling. But besides that, besides just that part, we
gave up fifty six points in the paint and thirty
five fast break points. What in the world. I'm just
now seeing this in real time, because again I didn't

(01:15:01):
I went to sleep last night. I got home from
my bother beating. I was in thank I'm just now
seeing this. You can't win like that. There's no way
you win like that. There's no way you can We
were even in points in the paint fifty six each.
We have fifty six points in the paint. Boston had

(01:15:23):
fifty six in the paint that washes out. Bustin had
eight second chance points. The Hawks had ten washes out,
but thirty five fast break points to four for the Hawks,
and we gave up eighteen threes. There's no way we
could have won that game. That game was over before
it started. Who was we didn't double team Jason Tatum.

(01:15:46):
Brown ain't out there, prizingis ain't out there. It would
I would think that somebody on that coaching bench would say, Hey, guys,
what don't we do what other teams do to us
and double team their best player on every freaking possession
and make somebody else beat you. I'm just seeing this

(01:16:07):
for the first time. Make make Derek White beat you,
or Drew Holliday beat you. Make them take all the
shots one of those two. But you can't let Jason
Tatum beat you. You can't let Jason Tatum beat you.
He had six threes in that game. You can't let
him do that. Sorry, you can't. Why are y'all allowing that?

(01:16:30):
You see what I'm saying. Why are y'all letting that
be cool. I don't get it. That has to be
a concentration our bench in their bench out in this game.
At least Roddy had eleven, Conglo had eighteen and ten

(01:16:53):
and two steals. Garrison had ten at six so the
bench at least even think out but start look. Trey
had his worst game ever two points. Dyson had eight points,
though Clinton had two. There's your loss right there as well.

(01:17:17):
Zack had fifteen, Jalen had twenty and eleven boards. Again,
I'm just seeing this for the first time. Jalen had
six six turnovers, Trade had three. I'm just the only
who had. Some others in had nineteen in the game.
So Zach had a couple. Lose this, Roddy a couple.

(01:17:40):
He Eton had a couple. Eighteen threes, that's forgivable, thirty
five fast break points, that's unforgivable. But I can't do
this game. Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go

(01:18:01):
out of order. I'm finishing the Wizards game, the second
Wizards game, and I'm gonna do the Kings game. I'm
gonna do the Pelicans game before I get to this game. Okay,
I've told y'all through this throughout this whole episode what
the actual reasons of us losing these games are. And
somebody is gonna realize, Okay, I can't keep blaming it

(01:18:22):
on one person. It's the whole team. The whole team
is bad at defense, and then the coaching staff won't
do nothing about it. They will not do anything about it.
This is all preventable stuff, folks. This is all stuff
that can be taught. This is all stuff that can
be trained, This is all stuff that can be drilled.
This is all stuff that people can be made accountable
for by saying the next time you overheld, or the

(01:18:44):
next time you don't get back on defense, or the
next time you don't switch for the next time you
don't call out a switch, the next time you don't
block out your man, the next time you step out
of the way of a shot coming in bounds and
you just let the ball get laid up. I'm either
gonna find you ten thousand dollars, I'm just put you

(01:19:04):
on the bench. You ain't gonna play for a while
either or do vot. I don't care, but this this
is preventable. But really, the coaching staff needs to be accountable.
Somebody needs to find them for allowing thirty something points,
fast breakpoints and eighteen threes in the game, or your

(01:19:26):
best player on the Boston Celtics is not getting double
to get the ball out of his hands. I can
guarantee I haven't watched none of the game, no, none
of the highlights or anything. I bet you we didn't
double teams. I bet you you didn't because we don't
do it for anybody. We don't double Luca, we don't
double Kyrie, we don't double anybody. We just let them

(01:19:47):
score on us. I've shown you the take. I've shown
you hours of game film already proven that we don't double.
We don't know how to play zone defense either. I've
shown you take so that it's really disgusting. It's depressing faction.
So all that being said, no one called in. I
hate that. I'm not sure why. I'm giving everybody the
opportunity to make their argument by this is important or not,

(01:20:12):
the defensive rating is important or not, as the kids
would say, But nobody wanted to call in. But nobody
wanted to come in either. I'm giving you an opportunity
to actually have an actual discussion about this why and
nobody wanted to talk about it. Does it not matter?
Why you can't just keep saying stuff and then not

(01:20:35):
present why it matters or not, and then show something
to show your argument. That's all I'm That's all. I'm
giving people an opportunity to do. I don't understand that
you should want to do that. You should want to
take that opportunity to do that, because again, just saying
stuff out loud and enough, guys, I'm showing you what

(01:20:57):
actually happened in a game, shot for shot by the
opposing team. I'm breaking it all down. This is what
I do in my reviews. For those who haven't seen
the actual review, I'll give you an example. It's just
the Wizards game Game five. When you see this game,
here's how it will be doing it. The Hawks lost

(01:21:18):
one thirty three to one twenty. At the time, the
Hawks were two and three. I break down what the
Wizards did. Okay, I break down when I say what
the Wizards did. Fifty six points in the paint, They
had nineteen second chance points, they had twenty five fast

(01:21:41):
break points. They hit sixteen threes, but Lal had twenty
seven points, Pool had twenty four points, and Yonis had
twenty two points on eighty three from the floor. Then
I break down with and not the teams were even

(01:22:01):
on the boards, assists, steal stuff like that. I break
all of that down first, and then I go shot
for shot, first shot, first quarter. Why off the bat?
Nobody wants to stay with their assignment. If that isn't
in the paint, you shouldn't be in the paint. Star
has the ball, dribbles, hands off the pool, pool dribbles.

(01:22:23):
Star glides to the corner. Three. Clint is looking at
the pool the whole possession, as if Star can't hear
the three, Pool passes the Sorry he hears a wide
open three, We give up? Seventeen to three is a game,
and the first shot of that game is a three,
simply because Clint won't get his butt out the paint

(01:22:44):
and go stick his man. And y'all accept this. Why
give me a reason that didn't have nothing to do
with Trey Young? Nothing? Why you're blaming Trey Young for
a wide open three that was preventable? And this happens

(01:23:05):
game after game, possession after possession, nobody says nothing about it.
I haven't finished this game yet. Well eight in this game,
Trey has given up up to this point, where I've
gotten to twelve points in this game so far, I

(01:23:28):
guarantee you he won't be the one who has the
most points given up in this game, though I guarantee,
I almost guarantee it, just because I know how many
threes they hitting this game. I haven't got again, I'm
not finished. If I guarantee you Trey Young ain't gonna
be the one who had the highest point I can
guarantee it. Almost every game he's never the highest point total,

(01:23:50):
and nobody else can get blamed for the points that
they give up, even though Trade had nothing to do
with the possession. Most of the time, he ain't even
on the floor. So how can you blame Tredy Young
for a possession where he ain't even on the floor.
That's what bloggles my mind. The twenty eight games that
Tray missed, I still got people who have the nerve
to say that's still Trade's fault even though he didn't

(01:24:12):
even play. I have people when Malatix Flinn, when I
did that Detroit game, I have people mad at me.
I have people DM me or whatever had a couple.
They say, oh, well, but that's what happens when Trey
Young is in the game. Malati Flinn dropped fifty points,
not on Trey Young but on Clinton Hunter and DJ Sous.
Trey Young didn't play that game. And then people would

(01:24:34):
be like, oh oh, and I don't hear nothing else.
And then I said, okay, well what about the Denver game.
KCP had twenty four points. Why look at all the
threes he hitting that game. We gave up twenty three
threes and he was the main one hitting them. He
got MPJ out there, you got Joker out there. The
first shot of the game. But that different game where

(01:24:55):
we gave up one hundred and forty two points was
a three pointer by Joker. One to know why because
Clint was nowhere to get The first shot of the
third quarter of that game was a three pointer. One
No why because because Plint was just nowhere to be
near his he ain't gonna garland. If his man is
at the three point line, he's gonna stay in the
paint so he can try to get a rebound. That's
not defense. If I did that, I would never get

(01:25:20):
picked up in my life. I would never play because
that's not defense. You can't get away with it. I've
been playing for forty years. That's not defense. Pointing at
a person that's not fens. Nobody can hear you point.
The only person that can do that is Matumbo. Rest
in peace. You know what that means. But that's after

(01:25:41):
the block, right, makes no sense. I got to get
out of here, guys. What's up, Chris Ay? One forever
is on the line, Chris. I'm about to get out
of here. But just make sure you get a chance
to walk walk through this because I broke down the
whole defensive rating and what or not it is important
or not. Again, there's tangible importance in the defensive rating,

(01:26:07):
but it's not more It's not more important than natural
points scored. It's not more important than how the bucket
was scored and who gave up the bucket. Because again,
you could have a good defensive rating, but your team
is still bad. You need your whole team with good
defensive ratings to have an effect. You see how that works.

(01:26:31):
But I just showed you the twenty twenty three Hawks.
Oh that's not the twenty twenty three Hawks. Nobody got
Nobody was mad that AJ had a one twenty the
John T. Murray had a one nineteen point five one
nineteen point one, Okongu had a one nineteen, Hunter one eighteen,

(01:26:52):
Fit one eighteen, Garrison won sixteen, Quit one sixteen, JJ
one fifteen, Mohammad Gave one fifteen, Wesley Matthews one fifteen,
Sex Bod Trent one fourteen, Bruno one fourteen, and Dealing
one twelve. Not one person in Atlanta Hawks Nation wherever
y'all are at, got mad about that You're only concerned

(01:27:14):
with the one nineteen of Trey. I don't get that
you absolved the whole team from playing defense in twenty
twenty three, where Trey missed twenty eight of those games,
and you didn't care about that. That's wild to me.
You didn't care about the last eight games of the
regular season plus to play in and what I just

(01:27:37):
broke down to you in this episode and the games
that I've actually reviewed of that season, and y'all didn't
care about all these points and all these threes being
given up by people who are not Trey Young. And
you still think Trey Young is the only reason and
he's the only player to absolved everybody else from doing
their actual job on the court. That's crazy to me.

(01:28:00):
And again, I would not want to play basketball with
none of y'all because I know yourself, you don't want
to do your job. You would literally let people just
lay the ball up because you mad that somebody got
blown by at the top of the key. And sometimes
it's not even that, it's just that on a fast break,
you just don't want to move over. You don't want
to be the one stop. It's almost our hot team

(01:28:22):
is almost as if they don't want to do the
defensive what's the word, the defensive duty because they're scared
of giving up the bucket rather than doing the job
and trying to stop the guy. Can we at least try?

(01:28:44):
I just told y'all on this episode that the Atlanta
Hawks this season where is it at, gives up. We're
giving up seventeen to threes a game at and we're

(01:29:04):
giving up forty two threes per game. That's all at
the bottom of the NBA. That's last, And y'all don't
care about that, that's what you're telling me. That's just
wild to me. That's wild to me. So again, if
you didn't get a chance to watch this from the beginning,
I urge you to walk all through it because I
gave you a lot of actual details of actual what

(01:29:27):
the Hawks are doing this year, what the Hawks did
last year, and how it actually matters a whole heckup
a lot more than just a defensive rating. Defensive ratings
just don't matter as much as we're giving up tons
of points and we ain't stopping nobody. And there's a
reason why, and it just is not just Trey Young again,

(01:29:47):
Trey Young is not the best defender on the team.
He's not one of the best defenders in the NBA,
and I'm sorry, there's no expectation that he ever will be.
But he has gotten better year after year, and he's
not the worst defender on our team. He just isn't.
He just isn't. It takes five on five to play basketball.

(01:30:08):
It's five on five, not one on five, not three
on five. It's one two three for Uno does says
quatro cinco, It's sinko on sinco. Seventeen three is a game, guys.
We're giving up one hundred and twenty one points a game, folks.

(01:30:34):
Teams are shooting fifty one point nine percent from two,
forty percent from three. That's all at the bottom of
the league. Guys. One player can't do that by themselves.
It's impossible. That is a statistical, mathematical fact. Everybody got
to do their job, and some people should be expected

(01:30:55):
to do their job better than others because that's who
they're supposed to be. Hun is supposed to be our
best defender, and he isn't supposed to be better than
he is, And he isn't. He just isn't. The game
film tells you that him standing under the basket while
his man is at the top of the key tells
you that aren't you all frustrated about that? Aren't you

(01:31:17):
frustrated that he overhelps on everybody? He never gives back
to his man. Aren't you mad that he sides watch
unless people lay the ball up or guards just lay
the ball up anywhere they want to, and he never
gets the block. Aren't you mad about that? Aren't you?
Aren't you? Aren't you mad that JJ just lets his
manager go wherever and he don't pick up. Aren't you

(01:31:42):
just a little bit upset? He turns his back on
people a lot that Garrison Matthews and stands in the paint.
He's never on his man. He gives up all these
threes is because he don't want to be near his
guy pretending to play defense. That's not defense. Aren't you
mad about these things? None of those things got nothing
to do with trade, but a one A one says,

(01:32:08):
I care about the ratings by the way they tell
a story. Stories don't win games, though. What happens on
the court does the ratings only. I'm gonna give definition again,
pull it back up. Defensive rating is a statistic using
basketball to measure an individual individuals players players efficiency at

(01:32:32):
preventing the other team from scoring points. But it's not
the actual stopping of the point. Though. Do you get that?
You see what I'm saying. You have a decent defensive rating? Well,
who's giving up the actual bucket over and over again

(01:32:56):
at a certain point? That matters more than the rating
does us. I'm looking at the final score, and if
we give up one hundred and thirty five points, who
cares about the defensive rating we gave up? We gave
up eighteen threes. Here I'll show let's see what happens.
How can I do this real quick? Then I gotta

(01:33:18):
go because this is twelve thirty Now. I didn't expect
to be on here this office. Let's see if this
gives it to me? Is this twenty twenty four? Cool? Oh? Wait, man,

(01:33:39):
that's team I want individuals? How can I get that?
Give me a second, y'all? All right? So that be said,

(01:34:00):
The Hawks gave up eight Okay, So let me let
me make sure y'all know this. The Hawks last night
gave up thirty five fast break points, fifty six points
in the paint, and eighteen total threes in this game. Okay,
So that being said. So that being said, does Clint

(01:34:29):
currently this season of twenty twenty four having a one
twelve point seven defensive rating really matters? Jalen is at
one fourteen point nine right now? Currently, Trey is at
one nineteen again, hold on, give me a second. Dyson

(01:34:58):
is at one fourteen, Roddy is at one nineteen point five.
I'm just looking at players who played last night. Keaton
is at one o nine point five. That's pretty good.
Did we in the game? Though?

Speaker 3 (01:35:15):
Becase it that?

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
Look? Listen? This is the current This is the current
defensive ratings of the Atlanta Hawks for twenty twenty four
so far. Bogie is at one fifteen point nine. Clinton
is at four point seven. Did his one twelve point
seven defensive ready to do anything? Last night? Did it?
I hadn't gotten a chance to watch the game. Well,
I just told y'all the Boston Celtics had eighty six

(01:35:39):
points in the paint, thirty five fast break points, and
they hit eighteen threes against us. David Roddy is at
one nineteen point five. Dysen's at one fourteen point four,
knowing he's our best defensive player, So again, does rating
matter as much as what he does on the court?

(01:35:59):
Ever wise, Garrison one eighteen killing one fourteen point nine?
Did Jalen helped last night not tow us get blown
out because he has the second best defensive rating on
the team currently? Well? No, yeah, and Keaton Wallace has

(01:36:22):
the best right now for the things he's played. Larry
Nats is at one twenty three point four, the Congo's
at one nineteen zero point five, and Trades at one
nineteen fit that one oh six, Zach on twenty one.
We should get Ben Simmons, like I've been saying, he's
at one twelve right now. Does it do any good? No?

(01:36:49):
Because what really matters is what happens on the court.
How is each point being scored per possession? Who's giving
up the basket, who's not switching, who's not setting that
double team, who's not blocking out, who's not getting back
on defense multiple times? Who's not rotating to the man.
Why are you still overhelping? Why ain't you calling out

(01:37:09):
none of the defenses? We literally let one person hit
six threes in this game. He's the best player on
the other team, and we couldn't stop that one player.
For Zingis wasn't out there, Brown wasn't out there. Why
wasn't it just simply, hey, guys, let's double hate them

(01:37:29):
every possession and make somebody else beat us. If they
up tate them having twenty eight, somebody else has to
beat us. Make our Horford beat you for crying out?
What's his name? Mimias Queta? He had ten points in
that game, Make him beat you. Drew Holliday was two
six from three? What was four of nine? Make Drew

(01:37:50):
Holliday shoot all the shots. Peyton fritcherd at eighteen of
course off the bench. Jordan Walsh beat you, mate, lucr
Nat beat you. He only had two points in the game.
But no, we're gonna let Jason Tatum go ten for

(01:38:11):
one from the field. Six or fourteen from three have
non assists. No, you make him not the person of
interest and double team him every possession. But we didn't.
We didn't choose to do that though. That's what I'm
talking about. No, I cared not about this story that

(01:38:32):
might be told from the defensive rating because it's not
a complete story. The complete story is what actually happened
on the court, because that's reality. Our reality is we're very, very,
very bad as a team. I just told you that
the Atlenta Hawks are at the bottom of the league,
giving up seventeen threes a game at fort from three

(01:38:55):
and we give up forty two or more threes a game.
That is not a one man show, guys, that's a
whole eye plus five from the bench show. And nobody
from our coaching estaff is doing anything about it. They're
accepting it. And how many threes hit the Hawks hit,
by the way, let's let's go check real quick. The

(01:39:17):
Hawks hit six of them? There were six or thirty one.
We hit eighteen percent from three that game, So what's
another just a hey, guys, if we're not hitting this shot,
we stopped that other team from hitting them, or do
something different, and we didn't do either one of those things.

(01:39:38):
We just kept on shooting and then let them keep shooting.
That's not basketball, because the other teams would be like, no,
we got to stop them from hitting all these threes somehow,
and then we need to come up with some better shots. Now,
that's one thing I did see. Trey juntook way too
many threes and he's not hitting them like that's crazy.

(01:40:00):
But see, I've also said that about Bogie. You can't
let Bogey shoot us out from three? Why is Bogie
three for fifteen from three? What were we talking about?
Why is runner file for seventeen from three or whatever
it is he's shooting us out? Why can't he just
hit a turnaround jumper every now and again, back post
up turnaround jumper. Heye, he has the body to do that.

(01:40:21):
Why can't he go in the basketball for times and
get some free throws? Why does he continually hit shooting
this shot? He ain't hitting Why? But we don't. We
don't have it within ourselves. So if you don't realize
that as a player, your coach has to real reel
you in, come here, don't shoot that shot no more?

(01:40:42):
Stop shooting it. We gotta do something else. We gotta
go in the paint more. We have fifty six points
in the pain. We have fifty six points in the pain.
What are we doing. Let's get to seventy two. Let's
try to win the game, not keep shoot in the shot.
We ain't hitting right now, and then on top of that,

(01:41:02):
we ain't stopping nobody. I just broke it down for y'all.
I just don't I just don't understand. And that's why
I talk about when I play ball, that's what we do.
We make adjustments in real time. Hey, we can't let
this guy keep shooting. We gotta either switch or we
got double team this guy. Hey, guys, you gotta make

(01:41:23):
sure we get on the back down on the court.
We've getten a couple of easy ones. Hey, guys, we're
gonna switch on everything the rest of the game. Chris,
you got you got Chris left. Watch y'all for your left, Chris,
I got your man. Switch back, Chris. We're talking on defense.

(01:41:47):
The Hawks don't talk. I've shown you hours of film
where we just don't even care. We're just gonna point
and absolve ourselves from doing our job and then be
mystified when the guy lays the ball up. It's so disgusting.
Y'all not mad about this? Wait until I finish this
Wizards game and post this Wizards game, because some of

(01:42:08):
you are gonna be actually mad, I think for the
first time when you see some of the stuff. If
you weren't mad after that OKC game that I showed y'all,
you're gonna be mad after this second Wizards game, and
then doubly so when I show you the Kings game too. Okay,
So anyway, I got it goes. Let me let me
finish this up again. Appreciate everybody you know at least

(01:42:31):
tune it in. I hate that nobody called in. I
made this a call in show kind of last minute.

(01:42:54):
three ahl is who's Jordan Jackson again? Give him a
shout out. He's helping his mom as she is treated
for cancer currently, so that's why he has been on
the show as of late. I'm gonna go ahead and
get out of here because I'm actually really, really really
right now. But I wanted to do this show talking
about whether or not whether or not defensive ratings matter

(01:43:16):
or not. Again me, my answer is, I don't care
about defensive rating as much as I do how did
the points get scored and who gave them up? That
story is more important than seeing Bogey with a one
fifteen point nine, Clint with a one twelve point seven,

(01:43:37):
Roddy with one nineteen point five, Dyson with one fourteen
point four, Garrison with eight point seven, Jalen Johnson with
a one fourteen point nine, Keaton at one on nine,
Nance at one twenty three, Mohammed, well, Mohammad actually has
a seventy six, but he hadn't really been playing Anephya
at one nineteen and Trey at one nineteen. That don't

(01:43:58):
tell me the story that I need to know. I
need to know how come you didn't block out? How
come you let this guy lay up the ball and
you were standing right there and you got out of
his way. Why are you standing in the paint and
your man is thirty feet away from you? And he's
only hit that three. Why are you taking yourself out
of the play because you turned your back to your
man and now he's on back cut. I saw it

(01:44:20):
got cut on trade in this Boston game. I saw
a holly, I pulled it up. And if Trede did
that every single game, every possession, you would have an
argument at that point. It doesn't happen like that. It
does happen with the whole team, though, a whole heck
of a lot, and nobody says nothing about those other
players doing it. Nobody, And that's that's just strange to me.

(01:44:43):
Why aren't you as mad with all these other players
who give up more points in each game than Trey?
Why aren't you mad at those players? That's what does
I don't understand. I just want someone to explain that
to me. But until you do, I'm gonna keep the
these game films and showing you here's how these teams
scored all these points against the Atlanta Hawks, and ninety

(01:45:09):
seven percent of it don't got nothing to do with Trayon.
It just doesn't. I'm sorry, it just doesn't. It doesn't,
And that's what's scary about the whole thing. But again,
if you want to blame it, you have a right.
This is America, I think still right. I don't know
what's the day, and you could do what you want.
But the tape don't lie. The tape of how each

(01:45:31):
possession is scored doesn't lie because it can't be It
can't be fixed, it can't be adjusted, it can't be changed,
b new bird, whatever you want to call it. It
is what it is. Ball don't lie, right, And at
each of my reviews, I tell you here's who here's
how all these points got scored. Because here's how many

(01:45:52):
points this person gave up. Here's how many points this
person gave up. Here's how many points that person gave up.
And that's the real story. And until that is fixed,
we can't compete. We can't compete giving up eighteen threes
a game, guys, well, seventeen threes at forty percent, we

(01:46:14):
can't win. There's no way we can compete like that. Guys,
we gave up fifty six points in the paint right
after giving up forty two points in the paint the
previous game. We can't win like that. We can't. And
that's why I told the story of two years ago Milwaukee,
we beat on the road, and then come back and

(01:46:34):
play Boston at home. Here's how we lost. I break
it down for you. The breakdowns are for you to
see it for yourself, so they're not just listening to
what someone says and believing it. I'm gonna make you
see it to believe it. I'm a prove it, and
I'm not proving what I'm believing. I'm proving what actually happened.

(01:46:57):
This is what happened. This is reality. Trede plays bad
or has it again? I do it every play. This
is Trey's fault right here. He turned the ball over
and look look Trey turning back. Look, Trey is trailing
this guy. He didn't go through all the way through
the possession and try to contest the shot, because that's
part of it too. We got so many times where

(01:47:18):
during the possession you got people who just give up.
You just conceded the shot. And I'm gonna point it
out every single time, whoever it is. I'm not doing
these whole shows just on one player. I'm not doing
the whole show on Clint Copella. I'm not doing the
whole show on Hunter. I'm not doing the whole show
on Garrison Matthews. I'm doing the whole show on the
Atlanta Hawks. But see it's the Atlanta Hawks that are

(01:47:39):
playing basketball, not just one player. Again, there's no game
out there in America or anywhere in the world that
you're playing one on five. I used to do that
back in the day a little bit, when I was younger,
more athletic. I used to play a little one on five.
Jeezy is the Snowman. I did say that. I said
that earlier, and I also did it on the LIB

(01:48:02):
I did two years ago. All those all the all
those fur coats that were walking around. I'm like, man,
that's kind of hot for all the coats was going on.
Then they then they told me because I didn't know
when I drove up from Atlanta, I didn't I don't
be paying attention to performing at half time. I don't
come to Atlanta to watch no halftime show. And then

(01:48:24):
some one told me. I was like, okay, and that
explains all the attire and all the ladies of the night.
But like I said, it was the swag surf that
made me leave. I was gonna sit through the rest
of that blowout that night. It was an ESPN game again.
Doris Burt was there when they started swagsurfing, and I'm like, yo,
see the score. That's this is bad situation. Situation at awareness, guys,

(01:48:51):
Come on. I had to leave at that point two
hours home disappointed, right after seeing my Hawks beat up
on the Milwaukee Bucks. I'm road, but I broke it
down in this episode how we lost that game. And
I broke it down in this episode how we've been
losing games. And if you go back and watch other
episode around the atl on IMP and Worldwide Radio, you'll

(01:49:14):
see these things for yourselves. And again, if you look
at those things, you'll have a different attitude about this
Atlanta Hawks team than you have currently right now. Just
because people like to talk and say stuff out loud
without any evidence of any kind, without any proof, without
any video, without any anything. Again, just because you say

(01:49:41):
it doesn't make it true. I hate swag surf when losing.
It's terrible. A one is terrible. It is terrible, And
I think it was a one. Who it was an
episode when I was showing something, he said it was
disheart and now I think it was a one. Actually
you said it. I was showing the clip and you said, man,

(01:50:02):
that's just this part, because again, as a basketball player,
you should have some pride, right Like even if you're
playing pick up ball, you have some pride. Again, you're
not out there just to exercise and get a sweat in.
You can do that at home. When you're forty eight
fifty to fifty five sixty years old and you're out

(01:50:23):
there playing full court with a clock against the youngins.
You play college ball, you ain't out there trying to
get no exercise. You're trying to beat these guys. I
got pride when I played defense. I don't know about
the rest of y'all, though I wouldn't want to play
with half of y'all. I know that for a fact.
So that being said, let me get ready to get
out of here. Again. Thanks everyone for chipping in a

(01:50:44):
little bit. I appreciate that. Hopefully, if you get to
watch this, whether or not, be you know, you get
off of work or chilling at home or whatever, watch
all the way through when you get to the points
comment comment, I wish somebody had called in, though they
didn't choose to call in, So that's cool, you know,
it is what it is. Maybe they're at work or whatnot.
I understand I didn't. I didn't advertise that this was

(01:51:06):
going to be a calling show. I decided like five
minutes before I started the show that I was gonna
make this a calling show, and I set it up
and everything, so that's my fault to an extent. But
still the number was on the screen. I was calling
it out all all the two hours I was doing
the show. So maybe next time, but definitely comment I
want to hear something. Well, I'm gonna post this up

(01:51:27):
later on today. I gotta do some work now. Let
me go in and get it out of here again.
This Chris on around the al. This is i MT
and Worldwide Radio. This is talking about defensive rating in
the Atlanta Hawks. They'll take care until next time.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Peace in the must common.

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
In the cot in the costs in the bars.

Speaker 1 (01:53:31):
And for those who are still listening on Block talk Radio,
thanks for listening to the show today. I definitely wish
a couple of people are called in the chime in
and let me know their thoughts and maybe next time again.
I did schedule this pretty late as far as deciding
to be uh call in the show, So that being said,
I'm in the show for the Block talk out again

(01:53:54):
next time. Be sure to subscribe to the i MT
and Worldwide Radio YouTube page, give a follow on Facebook
or Instagram. I MT and Worldwide Radio. Until next time, y'all,
take care,
