00:00are you surprised yeah yeah that he's not playing well he's doubtful so he's not out yet um i guess
00:08i would look at it as would this be and this is just my opinion would this be the case if they
00:14were expected to only go two rounds like i think it's more looking at the situation and i do think
00:22that there's an upside with this kind of injury that day to day like i do think they're judging
00:28it by how he i would guess like how he feels when he wakes up in the morning how he feels
00:33shooting i don't they're not holding a public shoot around this morning but how he feels like
00:38as it goes on i wouldn't expect it to be something that lasts for several weeks but they don't want
00:46to push it because it is a marathon that they're in to get back to the finals the game won help
00:51by him not playing well and they were still able to get up 20 and win you know control that game
00:57where they say you know what jt we don't really need you to play i think they always need them
01:03yeah i think you always want your superstar your best player to be out there so i get what you're
01:09saying i think it's more of the benefit of having these guys who went through it together last year
01:14and they know all the different looks that they can go to and do you think tatum would fight back
01:18if they were like hey we don't really need you he would want to be out there i think it's a bad look
01:22for him right now and this isn't anything it's not a knock against tatum but i think people are
01:27now coming out saying he's milking it because he was caused such a scene on the court so who's saying
01:32that i said it greg said greg that guy there you think he was milking it on the court yes i do i think
01:38he was milking it on the court i do yes um you don't i don't why why did his coach then yell at him
01:45to get up so i don't know because i i'm not inside joe missoula's brain his coach may have
01:50felt he was milking it so i side more with what i heard wiggy saying earlier which is this feeling of
01:57you know being the mindset and the mentality that missoula is frankly obsessed with and being the
02:04idea of like motivating yourself like get up you're good kind of that thing of when you're running a
02:10marathon and you're thinking yourself i'm not tired like i'm not hurting i'm good i can keep going
02:14he's kind of like the you ever see the movie tropic thunder he's like don't worry you'll be all right
