Full Episode
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for November 11th, 2024. Coming up, the Bucs are down bad after losing two over the weekend. The Warriors are looking pretty good. Chad Holmgren might be out for a while. We've got our picks. We're looking at the NBA Cup next week. Huge show. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Good morning, Zena. Wow, what another crazy weekend.
We're in week four of the NBA regular season, and it seems like every single weekend right now is just packed. The schedule maker is really front-loaded. The schedule, it feels like either that or it's the parity and the competitiveness. I don't know, but... Man, just a lot of stuff happening every single weekend.
And unfortunately for the Bucs, a lot of stuff happening for them in a negative direction. They lose a couple of games over the weekend. They they got blown out by the Knicks Friday and then they blew a 43 point Giannis performance and 11 point lead at halftime to the Celtics. And guys, the Bucs are now two and eight. This is not good at all.
And Zena, look, the vibes when you lose, the vibes are never going to be good. Right. But the vibes for me just they feel really, really bad. There were a lot of stuff in the game. Like there's some weird stuff with Giannis. It's it's not the greatest.
It isn't. And I'm very curious as to how they feel in the locker room as a collective. I've been actually listening to a lot of Giannis postgame press conferences because I'm curious as a leader of this team, as a person that called for a lot of the changes or allegedly called for a lot of the changes you've seen with this team.
how does he feel about continuously losing games that feel like they're winnable so during the six game losing streak it seemed that yannis had a theme with everything he was saying and it was around are we moving in the right direction are we shooting enough threes are we being competitive enough and most recently after they broke that six game losing streak against the utah jazz he felt like they had competed against the calves and against the jazz then they went and got
blown out by New York. And if you heard he had an outburst after that, he didn't feel like his team competed. He didn't feel like he was, they were doing what they needed to be doing or quote moving in the right direction. Now I'm looking at this game tonight against or last night against Boston. And if you look at the statistical breakdown of this game,
it kind of looks like they were moving in the right direction. I mean, outside of three-pointers, right? They had a better field goal percentage. They rebounded well. They outscored the Celtics in points in the paint. So I'm wondering, like, if you lose this game against the Celtics who put up 53s, and ultimately that was the reason why the Bucs ended up losing this game, Are you that upset?
Are the vibes that bad? Or are you happy that you competed? I think now you have to look at the games ahead and see they're not the Celtics. These are winnable games. Are you going to move in the right direction and get wins?
