We're talking about this morning, and people have no idea who Collin Sexton is.

He played basketball Alabama and I watched the game of his in college, where he played against Minnesota and literally everybody on their team fouled out of the game.

They were down to three players.

It was three against five now.

They eventually lost the game, barely, but Collin Sexton went off for 40 in that game, so he has that ability to score.

It's such a high clip, but I think, you know, look, it wasn't the right draft moved to keep LeBron James in Cleveland.

I didn't think LeBron was gonna stay in Cleveland regardless after he won that championship, but he sets a really great foundation.

But moving forward to the Nets.

Zubin, I'll say this like it doesn't bother me that the Nets lost that game last night.

It doesn't I mean, Clay Thompson, Stefan Curry, Kevin Durant.

They lost their debut, LeBron James, Chris Bosch, the way they lost their debut.

I think what you saw was just the were the of their offense.

It looked like it worked and it felt comfortable for all three of these guys.

Now, look, they're gonna be averaging 65 70 shot attempts between the three of them.

Every single game, ultimately them giving up 147 points is what kind of concerns you do.

They miss Jared Allen enough blocking shots and things that sort holding down the paint.

Really Being an enforcer, I think they do to a degree, but they're gonna have to find a way to remedy that in order for this team to win a championship.

It's good basketball.

The watch is fun to see.

But when you look at these systems that are Mike D'Antoni ish, kind of in the mix kind of Steve National Antonia combination, they're gonna high volume.

They're gonna shoot a lot.

They're gonna score a lot of points.

But it's the defense that always concerns.

And I know everybody always says this system could work.

It could work at work.

I ain't never won a championship with him, man.

Everybody scoring champions, MVPs putting up a lot of points.

It's the defense that concerns me with this team.

It's not the fact that they could score.

We all know they could score even if they wasn't together.

You know, you got guys like Kevin Durant.

He gonna fill it up.

Harden is gonna fill it up.

Kyrie, Irving.

He showed you last night coming back after a two week hiatus that he could drop buckets on You give you 37 points.

So the defense is the problem.

Because when you go and run up against some of these other teams, the Philadelphia is of the world.

The Milwaukee Bucks of the world.

You know, you play some of the teams out west, you gotta be able to defend.

And that's the key.

Where you going to get the defense from?

Are you getting it from heart?

I mean, he defends.

He defended a little bit last year toward the end of the season and into the playoffs.

He did, Okay, but not at the level that you think Katie could play it.

But that's not his strength.

You know, Kyrie, that's not his strength.

Where does it come from?

Key?

Are you taking the Lakers to win the championship?

Almost said, Do a bear do something in the woods?

Yes, I am taking language.

Okay.

I am taking the nets.

Zubin Mark this down.

If the Nets beat the Lakers in the championship, he has addressed the way I tell him that dress for an entire week in the city.

And what do you do?

I'll do the same.

Okay, I'll do the same thing.

Is that a bad?

Yeah.

I'm gonna find we're gonna get I need insight from people on social media.

Please tell me what you want to see Keyshawn dress up.

They're gonna have a ton of those by the time I dress Shit, they got to put one of those, uh, silhouette things over you cover him up because I'm gonna put you in something that ain't gonna be revealing on TV.

Yeah, I'm gonna get you some bread bottoms.

That's how I'm gonna I'm gonna get you some nice stuff so you can wear it.

Could be extra tall.

Um, have you walking around like you 67 J.

I wanna dig into the net schedule here a little bit more because every game is gonna be extra scrutinized.

Probably more than any other team in the N B.

A.

May be saved.

The Lakers were still waiting for the N B.

A second half scheduled to be released.

They're still working through some things.

I'm just gonna reel off the games just for the rest of the month.

Now that let's say everybody is back together.

Kyrie back playing his first game since January 5th.

He only practice for the first time on Tuesday again.

37 points, 48 minutes 22 seconds.

As Key said, Game shape.

Ready to go there.

Next game is gonna be at Cleveland again on Friday, then a couple against the Heat.

The Hawks at the Thunder at the Wizards.

Not exactly a murderer's row there.

That's just till the end of the month.

What do you expect to see how much progress by the time the month ends as we wait to see how the rest of the schedule will shake out.

I think they're gonna come out on Friday and make a statement with the Cavs.

I think they're gonna I think they're gonna handle the next couple of games of this month.

I look forward to game Zubin, where they go back and they visit Houston for James Harden.

I look forward to the game when they play against the Lakers.

I think the first matchup is at the Staples Center because I know how when people talk about LeBron James being the greatest of all time, I know Kevin Durant sees himself as the greatest of all time.

So those air matchups that I look forward to those individual matchups, not so much the team matchups.

It's those matchups where I know there's underlying things, that one player, about the other to a degree or about a franchise, seeing how they step up to that.

Those two guys going up against each other is gonna be a wash anyway, right?

I mean, you're gonna score 30 and I'm gonna score 28.

It's the That's what happens with great players.

It's not like all of a sudden they get ready to shed each other down because you cannot shut them down, no matter who you are, they gonna get theirs in the end.

You know, kid, I wanna I don't want to see what I saw in that Milwaukee Nets game.

I want to see Yanis guard Kevin Durant, and I want to see Kevin Durant guard.

I want to see Kevin Durant, guard LeBron James and LeBron James, guard Kevin Durant.

I want to see those matchups happened.

But go ahead, finish.

No, no, no.

You know Ken, Ken, Kevin Durant, guard LeBron, which I think LeBron toe a degree could guard Kevin Durant.

And the reason I say that is because of the size difference on the muscle mass, not the length we all know.

Katie is a little taller, little lengthier than LeBron.

But when we're talking about that, you know that power, that freight train ability that LeBron has when he puts that head down and goes to the cup.

What?

Kevin Durant gotta move out the way.

But Keith on it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

I I'm not going into any damn game thinking I can't guard somebody.

I'm on guard.

Um, I understand thought process.

I get it.

Kevin Durant is not going to go into a game feeling that way.

I'm just talking about for me, to you size wise, thickness wise, it seems like that that advantage goes toe LeBron.
