Well, he played in the NBA for 10 years and for nine teams. So he played with everybody from Bradley Beale

to Chris Paul. He was coached by Doc Rivers

Ty Lou. So he's been he's been around Ryan Hollins is now joining us. He does some stuff for TNT as well.

I'm gonna get to Brooklyn and Westbrook in a second. I will start with a warrior's

Lakers thought and I'll set you up. My takeaway is

there's a lot of blowouts in the NBA now even in the playoffs because of the three point shot where if you fall behind by 10 to 12 and you you start shooting

this is a team that locked up and defended and in a do or die game it paid dividends.

You know you look at Steph Curry. He is so magical. I do if they win tonight right or if they win they're not tonight but they're their next game.

How did Lakers threw everything out of him nothing work. Is there a way I mean everybody always used to force LeBron I think to his right hand they wanted to force him right.

There were certain places Kobe didn't want to be in certain places Kobe did want to be how do you defend is there a book on Steph Curry.
