to like the sports everybody that night with rich from uh... week one of the
n_b_a_ playoff weekend one game one in all eight series
and man that wasn't
as a van full of first couple of days the n_b_a_ playoffs is i can
ever remember uh... let's start with the uh... the big story from saturday
derrick rose
uh... playing
injured with what
little over a minute to play
up twelve
brick strongly lifetime bull fannon bull watcher your thoughts
firstly everyone saying that times david o
is the person to blame for all this is
popping out of there and speak as look at it well point gain
omitted and change left
meanwhile let's have it on the ball over
ami thaddeus young comes out it's a three to nine point gain
and as we know reads dissolve varied very quickly in the n_b_a_ i've no
problem with him being in there
still after stalin they were up twenty four point for a minute for planning
then the control right for two and then you take about the rest of the game too
but i mean by i don't uh... um...
are you not reserving about that anil fink that
anyone is actually criticizing him
you keep reading stories
where people talk about the criticism
but i don't see the actual criticism
fought for people who cover the n_b_a_ i got i'd just seems
it seems like a made-up controversy totally i don't i don't really think
anybody smart
thinks he should dividend first of all
even it was eighteen point game
it right about a guy who missed twenty seven games during the season
like he needs to play
making each tube get go on and play and and i get it if it's a thirty-point
gamer twenty five but i mean
reports as we just saw
but the last game on sunday night
if you're up twenty four point four seven minutes into the bus and subway
you might lose so
i seem silly
begin the sixers
it made a little run i bet on the game
paying very close attention now turn to have a look at both at wrapped up
from a gambling forgot thrilled to get growth and can't do that the bulls
mother's name
but you love them because
you know i think if they scored their
on that possession in the mid been ucla stop bob he might come out for the last
minute of the game up fourteen that point but
you know will bring up like
your best players play the game was not
over it was a ninety nine-percent chance the bulls we're gonna win at that point
but
but it's totally reasonable to keep banging used to get his condition he
needs to be there at the end the games doesn't game to rhea five point gain it
back to me in
down the stretch
he rested and beginning of the four th portly put 'em in with what like six
seven minutes to go
yeah and you know what he's missed twenty seven games this year yes like
five or six different injuries is that almost every injury you could think of
this season
micah
mite will bond of the uh... washington post
yes bien
wrote a great piece uh...
about uh... richard hamilton had spoken to will bot early in the year and said
you're gonna see a lot more injuries this year not others read a story that i
have actually been that many more injuries this year she seems like there
has not
right it seems like it because we frame the injuries now in the context of the
shortened schedule
and it may have had something to do with it but as far as significant players
missing time there really wasn't
that much more
but the m_v_p_ missed a lot of time and he'd never missed any time in years past
in this what like six games in three years yeah
uh... it also was about this dialogue derrick rose is play absolute large um
stops in the torques that this is a guide more likely than other people
to do something like that to me just as in the manner in which you
really hard nose
where he plays the game and continually i mean it's it's all that and even more
i mean even when he came back
i would talk to my dad on the phone and i was and we
we watch balls games throughout
my entire life to get and we'd
we notice these sorts of things
and when he came back
i said to my my book this is a different jerry grows
he's not attacking the basket
is not trying to go off the dribble 'cause he knows that there's going to be
more contact which is obviously more risk
for injury so he'd pull up for mike fifteen right in the seventies resources
that this is not not content as lawyer andrea schoenberg's was
uh... as well into in the next game the next
uh... the next uh... he came to the uh... the over der grows that i haven't
like in odyssey every n_b_a_ fenner sportsman starsky and not available for
these playoffs and
uh... and bulls can win the n_b_a_ title without and let me talk all they want
about
come together
i think they can uh... i think they meet the such as i think they can beat the
hawks of the celtics
but being the
and then the thunder
that seems inconceivable there's no way
if there is there's no way i don't think that they think they can
but they've had a great season ok considering that they haven't had read
the paper twenty-seven games okay this is a team
when you look at the bulls
you see a team that has a lot of good players but only one star trek anne
there composed a very good players and only one absolute all-star m_v_p_
caliber player so i mean i think they'll beat the sixers
but the lose
next round
for sure wakened by ninety six i think they will by ireland is a good chance
they when the next year's not to be fun just to say
but also a consultant to the hawks now
all of a wide-open the possibility just opened up because now you can beat the
balls no question
presumably the hawk for the celtics can't beat the heat
we just saw suppose somebody gets hurt
suppose some changes all of a sudden the possibility
pretty much all
they barely exists
