It's about the Bucks future with Giannis and also what happened with Tyrese Halliburton's dad going toe to toe with Giannis after the game. The Pistons, they surprise everybody. They get a big win against the Knicks in New York Celtics close out the Magic and the Nuggets beat the Clippers tonight. Warriors, Rockets and the Timberwolves are five and a half point underdogs at the Lakers for game five as well. Let me start with the teams that were eliminated. The Magic, they I, you know, it wasn't close. They lost in five to the Boston Celtics. But I do like their future. If if you're looking at a team and you go, okay, they have a young nucleus. They had some Injuries there. I thought that they were going to be one of those teams to keep an eye on the Rockets. I think the Rockets will probably bow out with Golden State, but I do like their future. They have a young nucleus there. It's when you get to Milwaukee, they are old, and with Dame out, Dame probably not able to play next year. You start to look at Brook Lopez's age there. I mean, they. And then you start with Giannis. Does Giannis want to be there? He's got one more year, I think, with his contract and let the speculation begin of where is he going to end up. Do I think he'll end his career in Milwaukee? I don't. But he's been loyal and, you know, he is decorated, won that championship, two time mvp. And I think you start to look at this, if I'm him and I go, are we going to win? Everybody was all in. Everybody was all in. You got Dame, Lillard, we got a chance to win a championship here, and now he's going to look around and go, we're not going to win a championship. And what now? What's the organization do? Because that's the tricky part as well. You almost want him to be the first to say, why don't we explore a trade? Because you don't want management to say, we're going to explore trade. You want to be loyal to him. You want to be loyal to your fan base, hey, we want to keep him, but, you know, deep down you might go, if we're going to turn this around, this isn't a reload, this is a rebuild. And now you have to look at this and go, okay, what can we get for him? Can you get dollar for dollar? And probably not, but if you get 75 cents on the dollar for him, you look around and you see what the Lakers gave up for Luca. Well, obviously you're not going to get anywhere near that kind of haul for Giannis. Can you get a couple of first round picks? Can you get a player? The one team that came to mind, I thought about the Miami Heat, considering that embarrassing exit for them. You know, where are they in the reload, rebuild, Heat culture? You do have Tyler Herro and you do have bam. But that might be one of those where you, you give up one of those guys, but then what exactly are you going? You know, Giannis has to look and go, okay, if I go to a team, how. How much am I going to deplete that team by going to that team? You know, this happened with Carmelo Anthony, Carmelo Anthony wanted out of Denver, goes to New York, and then he looks around and goes, wait a minute, there's nobody here. Well, they had to give up players to get you there, and that will be the key. If you're the Milwaukee Bucks, do you. And what do you get in return if you do trade Giannis? But I like Orlando's future. I think, you know, the disappointment has been Jalen Suggs, who's been injured for them, but they do have a pretty good nucleus there as they move forward. And I like what the Pistons are doing. Even if they bow out this next game, I like. I like who they are now. They got some journeymen there, but they do have some young talent there. I think Cade Cunningham is a very versatile, very talented player, and I think J.B. bickerstaff's done a wonderful job with them. You're beating the Knicks in the Garden, and I know you had some injuries there. Brunson is not 100%, but you're. You're facing a team that had 14 wins last year, and here they are still in this. And that's where you start to look. I thought that this was kind of an exploratory, like a field trip. You know, you're going to go and you're going to kind of take in the sights and sounds of the playoffs so you understand what it's like when you come back again. The Rockets are going to understand how to close out better this next time around. You know, what Detroit is doing, what Orlando is doing. This is where you see these teams like Cleveland. I talked about Cleveland a couple of years ago and said, that's my surprise team. Well, nobody should be surprised where they are now. The nucleus is there. They blow out the heat. Darius Garland doesn't play that much in the last couple of games. In fact, I don't even think he played. And now they got the Indiana Pacers. And that brings us to my next topic. With the Pacers, I'm not surprised. I think they're a dangerous team. I think they're a really good team. But there was drama afterwards. Tyrese Halliburton scores as he beats Giannis off the dribble and goes to the hoop, scores. And then they end up winning this game. I was shocked that there was no help for Giannis out on an island with Tyrese Halliburton. I'm watching. I go, he's going right. He's going right. He goes right. Boom. Right in, goes right. Embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing for the Milwaukee Bucks. There's no excuse for that. And Giannis used to be a great defender, but Tyrese Halliburton off the dribble. And Giannis, I think, looked at like, wait, where's my help? There was no help there. And so you can imagine, you know, Giannis, a frustrating season, loses dame, and then you lose this way in overtime. You got embarrassed there. You should have won the game. But there was a confrontation between Tyrese Halliburton's dad and Giannis after the game. And here is Giannis's side of the story.
