48 Minutes with ESPN's Tim Legler

0:00 ... Hello and Welcome to episode 95 in honor of Juan Toscano Anderson ... our guest this week is ESPN's Tim Legler.

1:13 ... Ross live Bet Online commercial read

1:51 ... Bruce introduces his long-time friend and colleague Tim Legler of ESPN with a story about the biggest night of his NBA career.

3:37 ... Bruce and Legs discuss whether the Celtics have peaked too soon ... Legs wondered if the big lead has made them complacent but he feels Boston is the most complete team in the NBA.

6:13 ... Ross asks Legs about the Bucks as they gear up for the playoffs ... Legs feels Joe Mazzulla is much more comfortable this season while the Bucks hired Doc Rivers to replace a rookie coach. The Bucks are playing well defensively due to Doc making them accountable.

9:00 ... Damian Lillard is adjusting to being on a team with a teammate who is better than him. The Bucks have made him a believer.

9:56 ... The Knicks don't want to finish 4th because they'll get Boston in the second round ... injuries have hurt the team and they might not be at their best until next season, but they can still be a dangerous playoff team.

12:48 ... Bruce asks Legs about how Tom Thibodeau has not overused his guys, and that the injuries to key Knicks players were freakish, not from overuse.

14:59 ... The Cavaliers have really missed Donovan Mitchell and their record without him is dismal ... but players who miss time and comeback healthy for the playoffs usually have more energy due to being idle. Legs compares Joel Embiid's situation to Mitchell. The Cavs are in trouble and might lose in the first round ...

17:58 ... Ross asks about Embiid's possible return ... Legs says Embiid's injury (meniscus) is not like a pulled muscle, once he's fixed and feels good -- play him. But good health and getting into a good rhythm are two different things and his first games will be intense affairs.

20:35 ... If Embiid comes back and is injected into a first round series, it will be the biggest "X-Factor" in first round playoff history.

21:04 ... We discuss the Houston Rockets and their long shot bid to knock the Warriors out of the Play in ... Legs thinks the Rockets/Warriors game on April 4th is a game to circle on your calendars.

23:12 .. Denver looks ready for another deep run and Legs discusses how the Wolves, Mavs, and Thunder could all threaten Denver. Minnesota's defense is great, but can they close out games? OKC is a young team that lacks playoff experience. Dallas could end up being the last team standing against the Nuggets. Legs trusts Luka in clutch situations.

26:38 ... Bruce asks Legs about the Thunder and whether rebounding will be their downfall in the postseason. Legs agrees and points out that Chet Holmgren is tall but thin and has trouble maintaining position down low. Legs also feels OKC's 3 point shooting may be lacking.

30:32 ... Ross asks if Legs was surprised at OKC's lack of pursuit of "bigs" at the trade deadline. Legs riffs on Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively and their 82% combined shooting.

32:42 ... The Wizards have won 3 straight, jeopardizing their lottery position and as a former Bullet and Wizard, Legs has been depressed watching his old team all season. Even Detroit has more hope because they have young studs like Cade Cunningham while the Wiz have Jordan Poole. Legs tells a funny story about Poole and says he's enjoying "the direct deposit every two weeks."

35:23 ... World B asks Legs about the franchise moving to Virginia. Legs feels a move will help the franchise shed its "corporate" feel playing in downtown DC.

36:34 ... The New Orleans Pelicans have missed Brandon Ingram and Legs is concerned his absence could cause the team to stumble because he can create good shots when the shot clock is winding down and that is hard to replace. They may be under the radar but they have three key positions filled with Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, and Ingram (when healthy). They'll be a problem in the playoffs.

38:57 ... Legs eviscerates the Suns over their loss to Milwaukee ... Phoenix has really pissed him off ... the Suns lost to San Antonio on Monday without Wemby. Legs is simply irate and jokes about kicking the Suns out of the league due to their pathetic effort.

42:43 ... World B asks about the return of Russell Westbrook and what impact he'll have down the stretch for the Clippers. He plays every single minute as hard as he can and is an energizer off the bench. Legs believes they'll reach a higher gear before the playoffs start.

45:29 ... World B asks why the Clippers are losing so many winnable games. If Kawhi has another gear, he can take more control over games but has mostly been pacing himself. As Kawhi goes, so go the Clippers.

48:16 ... If the Warriors play the Lakers in a play in game, Ross asks Legs if he favors LeBron or Curry. Legs picks the Lakers because LeBron has Anthony Davis and Steph doesn't.

50:02 ... Bruce asks Legs, the former 3 Point champion about Caitlin Clark and if he would like to see her at All Star Weekend shooting threes against an NBA three point specialist as Sabrina Ionescu did with Steph Curry this year. Legs says Curry should always be the NBA shooter and he also came up with a creative idea for Caitlin, Sabrina, and the Splash Brothers.

52:22 ... Ross asks Legs about the NCAA Tournament and he likes Houston to win it all. But he also feels UConn is the most complete team out there.

53:19 ... Ross tees up "Parting Shots" and Bruce hammers Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Chet Holmgren for their lame ATT commercial. Legs jumps in and bashes the Jimmy Butler/Jaime Jacquez commercial and wonders if Holmgren ever has any fun playing basketball.

54:58 ... World B says Khris Middleton's return will make them a real threat to win the east.

56:23 ... Ross does a best bet on Milwaukee vs the Lakers on Tuesday night.

57:08 ... Legs says the movie "Arthur The King" with Mark Wahlberg is a "must see" and we should all see it when it comes out. It's the story of a remarkable dog!

58:50 Ross wraps it up, thanks Legs, and says goodbye

NBA Firings, Key Injuries, Stock Up/Stock Down

NBA Firings, Key Injuries, Stock Up/Stock Down

0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces the panel and dedicates show #199 to Chris Boucher of the Celtics who wears jersey #99. 1:20 ... Nico Harrison is out as Mavericks general manager ... the timing was odd but Harrison was a "dead man walking" after the dismal Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis trade, which has been a disaster for the Mavs.  Dallas would probably like to trade Davis but who will take this talented but fragile big man? 8:04 ... Willie Green is out as head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans ... he was the victim of poor front office moves, the inability of Zion Williamson to avoid injuries, and the fact that new GM Joe Dumars didn't hire him. 14:46 ... The Miami Heat are playing good ball despite missing Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, but Bam's skill set is sorely missed and even though it's a deep team, they need these two guys back.  Newly acquired Norman Powell has played really well for Miami and helped keep them afloat. 18:02 ... The LA Clippers are the oldest team in NBA history and injuries are taking a huge toll.  Bradley Beal is gone for the season, Kawhi Leonard is injured once again, and now Derrick Jones Jr will miss six weeks.  The ship is sinking. 23:50 ... Victor Wembanyama will be out 2-3 weeks with a calf strain.  By the time he returns, he will be in double figures for games missed and if he misses more than 17 games, he will not qualify for postseason awards.  The team is well ahead of schedule in its progress, so the team will likely prioritize his health over any individual awards. 28:26 ... Orlando's Paolo Banchero has a left groin strain and while his teammates like Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane have stepped up, Banchero's rugged play defines the Magic's style and if he is out for an extended period, the Magic will be in big trouble. 32:05 ... Teams whose stock prices are up: the Oklahoma City Thunder ... they can't be stopped. 36:34 ... Stock Up: the Atlanta Hawks ... but Trae Young's future in ATL may be in doubt 39:50 ... Stock Up: the Phoenix Suns ... Phoenix is making naysayers like us look very bad 42:33 ... Teams whose stock prices are down: the Indiana Pacers ... injuries have decimated this team 45:47 ... Stock Down: the Milwaukee Bucks ... and now Giannis may miss action, but at least Ross composed a special poem about Kyle Kuzma. 49:33... Stock Down: the Chicago Bulls ... if the season had ended on October 31st, they'd be a legendary team, but November has been unkind to the team. 52:46 ... Stock Down: the Portland Trailblazers ... has the Tiago Splitter honeymoon come to an end? 55:47 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye TRT 56:08 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

NBA Weekend Preview from 48 Minutes

0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the panel 0:35 ... Episode #196 honors Don "Duck" Ray, a member of the old "Tri Cities Blackhawks" who wore uniform #96 back in the 1949-'50 season. 0:53 ... Friday's matchup between the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs is a battle for bragging rights in Texas.  Will Houston's three headed monster at center be able to wear Victor Wembanyama down? 5:11 ... Saturday's matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers will be a good measuring stick for the up and coming Bulls, who have started the season on a hot streak.  Can the banged up Cavs move closer to the Bulls in the standings? 8:50 ... The Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic play twice this weekend on Friday and Sunday with both games in Orlando.  While the Magic are playing better than the Celtics as of late, it's never easy to beat the same team twice in two days. 12:16 ... Final Thought: Bruce admits he may have been wrong about Doc Rivers using Giannis Antetokounmpo to bring the ball up and initiate the offense for the Bucks. 13:35 ... Final Thought: World B thinks the Oklahoma City Thunder have a legit chance to win 70 games this season. 15:30 ... Final thought: Ross wonders about unsigned free agents Malik Beasley and Ben Simmons and what their status is.  Could Simmons simply be quietly retiring without a formal announcement? 16:54 ...
