Podcast appearances and mentions of Adrian Griffin

On today's episode, we're discussing what it would mean for the Grizzlies to hire either Jared Dudley or Adrian Griffin to Tuomas Iisalo's staff before discussing the possible interest the Detroit Pistons in Santi Aldama.

0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the gang ... 1:14 ... Ross dedicates episode #150 to Zach "Zeebo" Randolph, who wore #50 in his long NBA career. 1:24 ... Ross live commercial read for BetOnLine ... 2:02 ... Bruce introduces tonight's guest, Lakers reporter Ryan Ward 2:40 ... Ryan shares his thoughts on the "Running Point" series on MAX that is based on Lakers owner Jeanie Buss 3:58 ... "World B" points out how streaky the Lakers have been in March and Ryan shares his thoughts on how the team goes on "Benders" at times and remains a puzzle as to how far they're capable of going in the playoffs. 6:11 ... Ross asks what the biggest difference is when LeBron is on the floor vs. when he is not.  Ryan has a great analytical point about how the spacing is affected when LeBron is on the floor. 8:10 ... Ross points out that when Luka Doncic is running the offense, there is better motion in LA's offense and Ryan points out how LeBron causes the motion to stop when he has the ball at the top of the key. 9:50 ... Bruce asks Ryan whether LA has what it takes to win key games down the stretch and secure the #2 seeding in the west.  Ryan feels they do not.  He is concerned that the Lakers could fold quickly in the playoffs. 11:53 ... LA has really struggled on the road this season and Ryan points out that the Lakers had three straight "back to back" road games and sometimes they were guilty of playing down to the level of their opponents. 13:55 ... Bruce points out that Austin Reaves has been an outstanding "third wheel" with LeBron and Luka and Ryan explains how he continues to amaze and will be relied upon heavily in the playoffs.  Ryan sees comparisons between Reaves and Hall of Famer Manu Ginobili. 16:40 ... Ross asks Ryan how much LeBron's endorsement has meant to Reaves' development. 17:46 ... Rookie Dalton Knecht has been impressive after returning to the Lakers after having his trade to Charlotte rescinded.  Ryan doesn't really understand how coach JJ Redick is using him and thinks they may trade him again if they can get a quality big man in return. 19:39 ... The guys discuss JJ Redick's coaching job in his rookie year.  Ryan likes his intensity, passion, and intelligence. 21:09 ... Ross and Ryan discuss Redick's readiness to coach well in the playoffs. 22:52 ... LeBron James has been acting out lately with battles against ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Brian Windhorst ... Ryan feels there is a "Wrestlemania" element to the whole thing.  Especially when LeBron did it on the Pat McAfee's show. 25:37 ... Bruce feels LeBron acted like a bully in his comments about Windhorst and Ryan feels like Stephen A. came out on top in this situation.  Ryan loves how Mike Wilbon also checked in with his thoughts on the whole thing. 28:11 ... Ross has two quick hitters about LeBron's positive comments on Giannis Antetokounmpo and also asked Ryan if he and LeBron ever locked horns over something Ryan wrote or said. 30:20 ... Bruce offers Ryan some advice on how he can mix it up with LeBron and make worldwide news if there is ever beef between them. 31:18 ... Ryan tells everyone how to find him on social media and shares an update on his "Jello Jigglin" podcast. 32:14 ... Show reset and discussion of the Boston Celtics, who won their 9th straight game on Monday night.  They appear to be peaking at the right time and are ready to flip the switch.  Bruce credits head coach Joe Mazzulla with guiding the team through a long season and giving his reserves lots of minutes so they can contribute in the postseason.  World B cautions that the Celtics starting lineup has not been as dominant as we expected. 38:08 ... Ross expands the discussion on how Boston's bench has stepped up and how it bodes well for the postseason.  Bruce points out the value of veteran Al Horford and what a luxury it is that Boston has him. 38:24 ... The Taylor Jenkins firing is a head scratcher and Bruce is angry that the Grizzlies GM has not really given a good explanation as to why it was done.  Bruce is concerned how the lack of information about the firing casts a cloud over Jenkins since some may suspect him of "shenanigans" when there may not have been any.  World B feels like the Grizzlies team has tailed off badly in the second half of the season. 41:37 ... Ross wants Suns owner Mat Ishbia to hire Jenkins as the lead assistant for Mike Budenholzer and run the offense in Phoenix. 42:43 ... The Milwaukee Bucks are a hot mess with Damian Lillard out indefinitely ... Bruce thinks former head coach Adrian Griffin might be laughing at the situation he left behind since he was fired with a 30-13 record last season and the Bucks have been pretty "meh" since then, winning just 59 of 113 games.  None of the guys feel the Bucks are capable of winning a playoff series at this point. 46:16 ... Breaking news!  PJ Tucker is signing a 2 year deal with the Knicks and will be a steady veteran presence.  Ross has high praise for PJ whom he worked with in Phoenix and called PJ "the new Taj Gibson.". 47:03 ... The guys recap the Sunday night Pistons/Timberwolves brawl and discuss the Pistons and their "Bad Boy" culture.  World B has had enough of the fake "tough guy" act from Isaiah Stewart.  Bruce initially thought there would not be any suspensions as a result of the brawl but Ross disagreed and Bruce was convinced and changed his mind. 53:22 ... The guys make their choices for the college hoop championship ... Ross and World B like Houston and Bruce likes Auburn. 54:15 ... Ross says goodbye ... TRT 54:30

Dan Devine is joined by Frank Madden from Locked On Bucks to discuss a Milwaukee Bucks season that has included two new head coaches and a new superstar (Damian Lillard) to pair with Giannis Antetokounmpo.00:00 - Count me in!04:35 - NBA Joy (Giannis Antetokounmpo)09:45 - Houston Rockets14:20 - Milwaukee Bucks49:50 - The Closing Five65:25 - Weekly recommendationsOn this episode of Devine Intervention, Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer Dan Devine is joined by Frank Madden from Locked On Bucks to discuss what has been a chaotic season for the Milwaukee Bucks, who are still very much championship contenders. But first…We start with a moment of joy, and Frank decides to talk about A.J. Green's defense before Dan waxes poetic about the Houston Rockets, who lost on Sunday but are still managing to make April NBA basketball entertaining as hell.The guys then get to the Bucks, mostly focusing on Giannis Antetokounmpo. He's having what might be the best season of his career, but he also deserves some of the blame for the chaos. It was his offseason threats that led to the team trading Jrue Holiday for Damian Lillard, he was part of the hiring process for Adrian Griffin and he was undoubtedly part of the firing process as well.Is Giannis gunning for another MVP award this season? How has he handled the chaos around him? Is there reason to believe that the Bucks can compete for a championship this year?The guys also discuss Patrick Beverley's vibes and how they've helped the Bucks, and the value of Khris Middleton (who might finally be getting healthy).Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

ESPN NBA writer Jamal Collier has been following the Milwaukee Bucks all season long. Today he explains to us how Adrian Griffin's tenure with the team ended after only 43-games.  With transcendent stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard on their roster, the Bucks entered the season with sky-high expectations. A 30-13 record had them near the top of the Eastern Conference. But cracks were forming both on and off the court.  Collier takes us inside the Bucks organization to pinpoint the moment the first-year head coach lost his grip on the locker room, and gauges whether new head coach Doc Rivers can right the ship and get this team back in the Finals.

You can vote for us now: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/shortlist-category/ Today's word of the day is ‘Cooperstown' as in the Baseball Hall of Fame as in Adrian Beltre as in Joe Mauer as in Todd Helton as in not Billy Wagner or Gary Sheffield. A little surprising to see Helton and not Wagner, but there's always next year! Except for Sheffield. (11:33) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me why the Milwaukee Bucks fired Adrian Griffin. Woof. And for Doc Rivers!? (21:33) NPPOD. (26:15) Review: Oscar Noms. (31:35) What is going on with the refs? We had the NBA come out and say there were 10 incorrect calls in the final 2 minutes of the Hornets-Timberwolves game! 10! (38:00) Todd Bowles met the media and spoke about the Buccaneers loss to the Lions. Why didn't they call a timeout? (43:46) So the Miami Heat have finally traded Kyle Lowry for Damian Lillard! Just kidding! They got Terry Rozier from the Hornets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Boy, I've always heard the NBA was a "player's league" but the Bucks whacking first year head coach Adrian Griffin after just 43 games while in 2nd place, was a mid-week KA-BOOM in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, guest PAUL CHARCHIAN's Timberwolves had their star go for 44 points in the 1st half, and ended up taking big fat L while record hunting. Also, Charch weighs in on NFL rules, Todd Bowles massive clock blunder, the monster rating the NFL drew for Chiefs v. Bills and much more....Our Sponsors:* Check out Indeed and use my code CZABE for a great deal: https://www.indeed.com/ * Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code "TODAY" for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/* Make sure your home bar is stocked for the big game.

Terry Rozier is being moved from Charlotte to the Miami Heat, giving them the scoring punch they need. But how much will it help them defensively, and how does it measure up against Boston? Plus, the Bucks fired Adrian Griffin in what feels like a real desperation move. Will a new coach (maybe Doc Rivers) be all they need to get right defensively? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses all that, plus the four players the Celtics got into the USA Basketball Summer Olympics player pool, and one final thought about the Celtics execution against Dallas.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish. With one click, you can easily and easily brainstorm, rewrite, and reply with suggestions based on your context and goals. Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for FREE today. HungryrootHungryroot is the easiest way to get fresh, high-quality food delivered to your door.
