Mike Tyson's famous aphorism is true for golf as well: everyone has a plan until he's punched in the face. And a round of golf will punch you in the face. When you find trouble during your round, how do you avoid those round-destroying blow-up scores? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg bring three tips for minimizing the damage. They talk about strategy, the skill of hitting recovery shots, keeping your eyes open for smart routes to the hole, and getting the driver under control. You know it: posting better scores is more a matter of reducing bag numbers than it is bagging more birdies. This episode will help you do exactly that.

The Big Number this week looks at the spectacular season being had by Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. Could the Greek Freak finish 3rd in the MVP race, despite how disappointing the team has been? Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine reveal that Giannis is putting up numbers that we've never seen before, but no one is talking about it. That probably has something to do with the Bucks being WINLESS against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder this season. Tuesday night's loss to Golden State was bad enough that Doc Rivers called a meeting with Giannis and Damian Lillard to try and pull the Bucks out of a "dire" situation.(3:30) - Does Giannis deserve more MVP buzz?(13:25) - Celtics' lead over Bucks helps Tatum's case(17:55) - Is the Cavs' talented roster hurting Donovan Mitchell's case?(24:50) - Too little too late for Anthony Edwards?(28:15) - Jalen Brunson is elevating the Knicks(32:15) - Over/under scoreboard update(33:05) - Are the Bucks a one & done playoff team?Want to compete against Tom, Dan and the entire Yahoo Sports team in this year's NCAA tournaments?

On this episode of The Big Number, Tom Haberstroh & Dan Devine dive deep into the seismic shift in the Golden State Warriors' performance since Jimmy Butler's arrival. From being one of the sloppiest teams in the NBA to now leading the league in free throws made with fewer turnovers than ever, Butler has reshaped the Warriors into a mistake-free juggernaut. The pair break down his impressive individual stats, including how he's driving efficiency on both ends without dominating the ball, and what his presence has done to increase Steph Curry's scoring, pushing him to one of his most efficient stretches ever. Could Butler's addition be the missing piece to a Warriors' NBA title run?Tom & Dan also take a close look at how the Warriors have adjusted in non-Steph minutes, with Jimmy's impressive numbers filling the gap when Curry sits, and discuss the effectiveness of their new small-ball lineup. Plus, the impact of Jonathan Kuminga's potential return and how his presence could further bolster Golden State's depth as they head into the postseason. With Butler's impact stretching from offense to defense, could this midseason trade go down as one of the best in NBA history?(1:15) - Big Number: Jimmy Butler revitalizes Golden State(16:25) - Steph's improved shooting(22:00) - Warriors' new & improved net rating(24:15) - Golden State small-ball starting five(28:00) - Kuminga to return after ankle injury(33:50) - Over/under scoreboard update(34:25) - Shaq forgets who's coaching the Pistons

Tom and Dan break down SGA's chances of winning his 1st MVP, and whether LeBron James has a true, viable path to chasing him down (in LeBron chasedown fashion). Evan Mobley is the current DPOY favorite, but Tom explains why he "hates" that. Could Evan's head coach Kenny Atkinson be caught by JB Bickerstaff? Cade Cunningham leads MIP as the Pistons dream season continues, but should former #1 overall picks even be eligible for that award? And the nominees that could catch Payton Pritchard for 6MOY.
