Gil's Arena Debates Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets For #1 In The NBA's Western Conference as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to HUGE games in the NBA Playoff race as Luka Doncic, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers BLEW OUT the NBA Leading OKC Thunder and the Houston Rockets put Chef Curry in a blender to take down the Golden State Warriors. They break down what this wins mean for both squads heading into the NBA's stretch run and take a look at the insane race developing in the west as 5 teams are tied for the conference's lower seeds. Next, they react to another out of this world stat line from Nikola Jokic who dropped another 40 point triple double in the Nuggets' 5th straight loss, sparking a debate on if Nugget's struggles have overshadowed Jokic's dominant season and forced the team into some difficult changes this offseason. Finally, they react to Ja Morant getting fined 75k for his finger gun celebration and debate if this was an unfair punishment for the Memphis Grizzlies' superstar and break down an incredible weekend in March Madness where Paige Bueckers established herself as a future legend with UConn's national championship & Cooper Flagg faced adversity for the first time in his career after Duke choked away a trip to the finals.

[0:30] Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
[0:32] Speaker 1: Man, so I do, you know, have some issues.
[0:34] Speaker 3: Just so.
[0:36] Speaker 1: So did y'all. We knew we weren't losing to UConn.
[0:40] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. UCLA.
[0:41] Speaker 3: We knew we were going to.
[0:42] Speaker 1: Take that L, okay?
[0:43] Speaker 2: We got as far as we could go.
[0:44] Speaker 5: We'll let y'all be exempt from this thrashing that you
[0:47] Speaker 5: over there trying to dish out.
[0:48] Speaker 2: We knew it was going down. Paige Becker, her last run.
[0:51] Speaker 3: No, no.
[0:52] Speaker 2: It was not supposed.
[0:54] Speaker 3: To go down like that.
[0:55] Speaker 6: We knew the chips were stacked against us. Shout out
[0:58] Speaker 6: Corey Close. Do you feel like women's basketball squad?
[1:00] Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. That y'all doors blew off. We weren't the
[1:06] Speaker 1: only ones. Y'all barely felt it too.
[1:08] Speaker 2: Facts. It was just, it was UConn.
[1:10] Speaker 3: Melted ass weekend for UConn.
[1:12] Speaker 6: But this is Gil's Arena presented by Underdog. As always,
[1:14] Speaker 6: we got the legend Gilbert Arenas here with us.
[1:18] Speaker 2: I like the jacket, Gil.
[1:22] Speaker 3: That was L for Lakers.
[1:23] Speaker 1: Oh, that's a lot.
[1:24] Speaker 2: Okay, Lakers.
[1:26] Speaker 1: Not to be confused with the Lucas. Same thing.
[1:28] Speaker 2: Same thing.
[1:29] Speaker 1: Hot as hell outside.
[1:31] Speaker 6: On this side of the couch, we got WNBA champion
[1:34] Speaker 6: of the world, Seattle Storm Guard Lexi Brown back with us.
[1:39] Speaker 2: Even in the summer, even in the winter.
[1:41] Speaker 1: Goddamn 80 degrees outside.
[1:43] Speaker 2: He got the damn winter jacket on and jeans. Never
[1:46] Speaker 2: let the weather get in the way of getting a
[1:48] Speaker 2: fit on.
[1:49] Speaker 3: Just how you feel.
[1:50] Speaker 6: On this side of the couch, representing Oak Cliff, the
[1:53] Speaker 6: distinguished gentleman, Canyon Martin, back here with us. That sounds
[2:00] Speaker 6: like distinguished gentleman music.
[2:01] Speaker 1: Know what I'm talking about? I will politely tuck in
[2:06] Speaker 1: my chain.
[2:07] Speaker 6: And the man known as Cemetery Larry, NCAA champion of
[2:10] Speaker 6: the world, Rashad McCants, in the building. Shot, we see
[2:16] Speaker 6: you doing your thing at Morongo with Jim Hill.
[2:19] Speaker 1: Y'all ain't watching that shit. You crazy. Watching all of it.
[2:23] Speaker 1: Lying and shit. Seeing what Jim had to say about Kenyon.
[2:25] Speaker 1: He's trying to gaslight me.
[2:26] Speaker 2: Shot fired back. Yeah, no, Jim.
[2:28] Speaker 1: The Red Duke rap with the Sioux fit?
[2:31] Speaker 2: Come on. Yeah.
[2:32] Speaker 1: Saw you do the popper shot, too.
[2:33] Speaker 2: It was Houston.
[2:34] Speaker 1: It was Mercy Miller. You know what I'm saying? I'm
[2:36] Speaker 1: shouting out for my homie. You know what I'm saying?
[2:39] Speaker 1: Rapping Houston. Now you're on the popper shot? Yeah, you know,
[2:42] Speaker 1: Jim beat me a couple times. I'm taking L's. That's
[2:45] Speaker 1: what you got to do to advance.
[2:46] Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a corporate. You got to let them win.
[2:48] Speaker 1: You already know. You got to let the boss win sometimes.
[2:50] Speaker 2: I don't let you niggas win. I don't beat the
[2:51] Speaker 2: fuck out of y'all. I don't let them win.
[2:53] Speaker 1: I beat y'all every time I go up against y'all, though.
[2:56] Speaker 1: This YouTube shit. We are on YouTube. I'm trying to
[2:59] Speaker 1: get the TV in. We talked about the women's tournament.
[3:01] Speaker 6: As y'all know, me and Swaggy P had an Instagram
[3:04] Speaker 6: bet to see whose team would advance further. Women's tournament, obviously,
[3:07] Speaker 6: UCLA advanced further than USC. If you're in the Westwood area,
[3:10] Speaker 6: be on the lookout for me and Swaggy's billboard, him
[3:12] Speaker 6: rocking all the UCLA gear. He'll be back later this
[3:16] Speaker 6: week with a public apology for not believing in these Bruins.
[3:20] Speaker 1: It's just fire. As they advance to the Final Four.
[3:22] Speaker 1: You ain't gonna show the picture?
[3:24] Speaker 2: Huh?
[3:24] Speaker 6: We gotta wait. I want it to really... He'll be
[3:27] Speaker 6: back Wednesday. He will give reminders all year long. But
[3:32] Speaker 6: for all the fans out there, we still have two
[3:33] Speaker 6: viewing options for you. Our traditional version, mobile vertical version.
[3:35] Speaker 6: Pick whichever one you want to watch. Just make sure
[3:37] Speaker 6: you support the show. Here's what's cracking in the arena today.
[3:42] Speaker 6: Eamon Thompson had Steph Curry in hell in the Rockets'
[3:45] Speaker 6: win over the Warriors Sunday. What did the Rockets expose
[3:48] Speaker 6: about this dub squad? Damn, three points. Steph and Ime
[3:51] Speaker 6: going at it. It was an intriguing night. The Lakers
[3:55] Speaker 6: got a huge win against the Thunder in OKC. What
[3:58] Speaker 6: statement did the purple and gold make by blowing out
[4:00] Speaker 6: the league's best team? Wire to wire win, I know
[4:04] Speaker 6: we all saw it. Third seeded Lakers, Gil, nice jacket.
[4:08] Speaker 6: And Steve Kerr said Nikola Jokic is the best center
[4:11] Speaker 6: that he's ever seen. But is he spitting or tripping?
[4:15] Speaker 6: Before we get into all that, as always, show brought
[4:17] Speaker 6: to you by Underdog. Download the app, use promo code Gil,
[4:19] Speaker 6: get up to $ 1, 000 in bonus cash, plus a special pick-em.

[4:36] Speaker 1: 19.5 points. DeMar DeRozan, higher, 16.5 points. And Azor Thompson,
[4:41] Speaker 1: the other Thompson twin, higher, 21.5 points, rebounds and assists. Gil,
[4:46] Speaker 1: I see you limited it to one game. There's only
[4:48] Speaker 1: two games tonight. Not a lot of options.
[4:51] Speaker 2: You've been doing pretty well in the underdog.
[4:55] Speaker 1: Not bad, not shabby.
[4:56] Speaker 6: You've been sharing the wins in the chat. Shot, as
[4:58] Speaker 6: you know, you broke underdogs' pockets for a significant amount
[5:01] Speaker 6: of bread.
[5:02] Speaker 2: I had to stop playing.
[5:03] Speaker 1: They put you on probation for a little bit.
[5:07] Speaker 2: They blocked me out. I can't even make no bets anymore.
[5:10] Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, because you won the joint, then you doubled,
[5:13] Speaker 5: and you went right back.
[5:15] Speaker 1: I went right back. I peeped it.
[5:17] Speaker 3: If he went too much, they'll be like, stop.
[5:19] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Hmm.
[5:21] Speaker 1: Well, I ain't had that problem.
[5:22] Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
[5:24] Speaker 1: Damn sure. The rest of us keep an underdog afloat.
[5:27] Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about?
[5:29] Speaker 2: With all these players not delivering. The Reds. The Reds
[5:31] Speaker 2: make you bad. $ 88. Hey, some of these days, I'm
[5:34] Speaker 2: going to be cash working for free. You got $ 88, $ 26.
[5:36] Speaker 2: That ain't mine. How much do you have in yours?
[5:38] Speaker 1: How much do you.
[5:39] Speaker 2: Have in yours?
[5:39] Speaker 1: You know, $ 45.
[5:40] Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
[5:40] Speaker 3: Some light work, man.
[5:50] Speaker 6: So, Gil, we asked the chat if they're riding or
[5:53] Speaker 6: fading with your picks tonight. 61% of the chat riding

[6:36] Speaker 1: In this election cycle, okay? Make your voice heard.
[6:38] Speaker 6: Vote for Gil for a Webby Award in the Creator
[6:41] Speaker 6: Sports Academy. That's a respectfully disrespectful way of saying that
[6:46] Speaker 6: we didn't make the top five. But we made the
[6:48] Speaker 6: top seven, so they're honoring us.
[6:50] Speaker 2: Why they keep calling us a podcast, though? Who told
[6:52] Speaker 2: them that?
[6:53] Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We are a show, ladies and gentlemen.
[6:56] Speaker 1: It's like honorable mention for the McDonald's game.
[6:58] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
[6:59] Speaker 1: They send you a certificate. Okay, who's the... Tell you
[7:03] Speaker 1: to watch the game. Get your meal super soft.
[7:05] Speaker 2: Who's the five that got nominated?
[7:07] Speaker 1: What are they going off of?
[7:08] Speaker 2: I hope they're not going off of numbers.
[7:09] Speaker 1: I don't think it's numbers or viewership.
[7:10] Speaker 2: Oh, okay, because I was going to say, they can
[7:13] Speaker 2: start combining their numbers and they still won't be better
[7:15] Speaker 2: than us. Facts. No, I'm just saying, if that's how
[7:19] Speaker 2: we're doing it, right, if you add the numbers up
[7:24] Speaker 2: for weekly or monthly podcasts, we are number one.
[7:28] Speaker 1: By a large.
[7:30] Speaker 1: I'm not good at math, but.
[7:32] Speaker 2: It's not even actually a close thing, so I don't
[7:34] Speaker 2: know what they're going off of. They're going off of
[7:38] Speaker 2: people voting. Then it's then, yeah, we don't have no
[7:41] Speaker 2: control over people voting, but if you're going off of numbers, viewerships, whatever...
[7:45] Speaker 2: then there's no competition, to be honest. The people's champ.
[7:49] Speaker 2: And can your producers want you to know? Live, we
[7:51] Speaker 2: can do live. Like, we're blowing y'all out in live.
[7:54] Speaker 2: We can do pre-recorded. We can do our pre-recorder. We're
[7:57] Speaker 2: beating you in pre-recorded. Like, we're so dominant that it
[8:01] Speaker 2: just doesn't even matter. Like, we got two viewing options.
[8:05] Speaker 2: We do. We're beating you in both options. Traditional version
[8:08] Speaker 2: and a mobile vertical version. We're beating y'all in both.
[8:11] Speaker 2: I'm just, if.
[8:13] Speaker 6: Okay, producers wanted you to know that we actually do
[8:16] Speaker 6: get certificates if we want them.
[8:19] Speaker 1: We can get them framed.
[8:21] Speaker 2: No thanks.
[8:21] Speaker 3: No thanks. Okay, you don't want that.
[8:23] Speaker 1: We'll pass this year. Now we need to make it
[8:26] Speaker 1: a point.
[8:26] Speaker 2: You know what, any award that comes out now, just
[8:28] Speaker 2: nominate us. You know what, that's what we're gonna start doing. Like,
[8:31] Speaker 2: I didn't really look at awards, but I want them
[8:35] Speaker 2: all now. We just want to put them all, just.
[8:37] Speaker 6: Cover the window with awards. I do have my one
[8:39] Speaker 6: suit for funerals, weddings, and award ceremonies, so... Look forward
[8:43] Speaker 6: to pulling that out. At some point, it's versatile. Quinceaneras, whatever.
[8:47] Speaker 2: It's a versatile suit. I've been seeing some of the categories,
[8:52] Speaker 2: and I'm like, creator, host, those are different categories. If
[9:00] Speaker 2: your show is interviewing people, that's not your character. You're
[9:04] Speaker 2: just the host, so it should be best host, meaning
[9:06] Speaker 2: your guests are very popular and you win that way.
[9:10] Speaker 2: creator is you personally doing something. Right?
[9:14] Speaker 3: There are a lot of shows that get carried by
[9:16] Speaker 3: their guests.
[9:16] Speaker 2: They get carried by their guests and they win character
[9:19] Speaker 2: awards and creator awards. No, that's not the same thing.
[9:23] Speaker 2: Just same thing as if it's a character, that's you
[9:29] Speaker 2: personally also, not your success of your actual podcast.
[9:33] Speaker 1: Speak on it.
[9:34] Speaker 2: You know, just these awards, I'm just saying like, how
[9:36] Speaker 2: are you guys even in this category? It doesn't make sense. Yeah. But,
[9:40] Speaker 2: you know. Yeah.
[9:42] Speaker 1: That's one another.
[9:42] Speaker 2: I'm not going to put in... And then there's some
[9:46] Speaker 2: that's in sports, but your podcast is not actually sports. Ooh. Mm.
[9:51] Speaker 1: Sound like some conversation you're going to need to be
[9:53] Speaker 1: had in the near future, but either way. vote for
[9:55] Speaker 1: Gil for his webby. There's entertainment, there's sports, there's social.
[10:03] Speaker 1: Let's get this thing going. We do get certificates, though.
[10:06] Speaker 1: Those stickers, okay. Participation.
[10:09] Speaker 2: Where are my stickers? All right, let's get into some basketball.
[10:13] Speaker 6: Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in the
[10:14] Speaker 6: league since the Jimmy Butler trade, going 20-2 with Butler
[10:17] Speaker 6: and Steph in the lineup, including five straight wins heading
[10:20] Speaker 6: into their matchup against the Rockets Sunday. In Chef Curry's
[10:23] Speaker 6: previous three games prior to the Rockets meeting, he was
[10:26] Speaker 6: averaging 42 points, six assists and five rebounds, with a
[10:29] Speaker 6: 52-piece on the Grizzlies, 37 on the Lakers.
[10:32] Speaker 1: And 36 on the Nuggets.
[10:34] Speaker 6: But Amon Thompson and the Rockets were having none of
[10:36] Speaker 6: that as Houston gave Curry and the Dubs a problem.
[10:38] Speaker 6: Let's take a look at some of the highlights. So
[10:40] Speaker 6: Thompson was all up in Chef Curry's kitchen like Melvin
[10:43] Speaker 6: in Baby Boy. Steph was held to just three points
[10:45] Speaker 6: in 33 minutes of action, going one for 10 from
[10:47] Speaker 6: the field, one for eight from three. He did have
[10:50] Speaker 6: eight assists, but also had four turnovers. It was Steph's
[10:53] Speaker 6: second lowest scoring output this season. He had two points
[10:56] Speaker 6: against the Grizzlies back in December in a 51-point blowout loss.
[11:00] Speaker 6: Also the fewest points Steph scored in the game when
[11:02] Speaker 6: playing 30 plus minutes in his career. Dylan Brooks led
[11:05] Speaker 6: the Rockets with 24 points on 10 to 13 shooting.
[11:08] Speaker 6: Jalen Green added 21 points, five dimes, while Alper and
[11:11] Speaker 6: Shangoon dominated the paint with 19 points and 14 boards.
[11:14] Speaker 1: Jamari Smith Jr. was big off the bench, 16 points,
[11:17] Speaker 1: nine boards. He was seven for 10 from the field.
[11:20] Speaker 6: So in addition to locking up Steph, Amon Thompson filled
[11:22] Speaker 6: up the stat sheet. He had 14.6 rebounds, six assists,
[11:25] Speaker 6: three steals, and two blocks. Buddy Hill led the Warriors
[11:29] Speaker 6: in scoring, coming off the bench to drop 20. Brandon
[11:32] Speaker 6: Pajimski had 19. Jimmy Butler added 13 on four of
[11:35] Speaker 6: seven shooting. Draymond had two points, three rebounds, four assists,
[11:39] Speaker 6: and four turnovers. The Warriors had 20 turnovers in the game,
[11:43] Speaker 6: but despite their poor play from their stars, Dubs stayed
[11:47] Speaker 6: in the game until the fourth quarter when the Rockets
[11:49] Speaker 6: went on a 16-5 run to put things out of reach.
[11:52] Speaker 6: Rockets got their first win in the base since 2020.
[11:55] Speaker 6: snapping a seven-game road-losing streak against the Warriors, all but
[11:58] Speaker 6: locked up the second seed in the West. So we'll
[12:02] Speaker 6: start with you, Kenya. What does a win like this
[12:04] Speaker 6: show you about this Rocket squad?
[12:11] Speaker 5: They're playing for something, so I guess they're trying to
[12:13] Speaker 5: get second seed, so they're playing for something.
[12:15] Speaker 1: So it meant something, I guess, to them. Just, I'm... Curious.
[12:23] Speaker 5: I didn't see the game, but I'm curious to go
[12:26] Speaker 5: back and look to see why, but what they did
[12:29] Speaker 5: to Steph, to see why, what his shots selection was.
[12:35] Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Please don't lighten up.
[12:38] Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
[12:39] Speaker 5: Because, listen, man, just from this and the one that
[12:44] Speaker 5: he did make, right for that.
[12:46] Speaker 2: Two to one. Right at the end of the second quarter.
[12:48] Speaker 2: Two to one. I got a free look.
[12:50] Speaker 4: Yeah, so, yeah. That's alarming. You got to think about E-May, though.
[12:57] Speaker 4: Think about E-May and how he coaches. His direct message
[13:02] Speaker 4: to the team was once they start crying and bitching
[13:06] Speaker 4: to the refs, we got them.
[13:09] Speaker 2: Pick it up a notch.
[13:10] Speaker 1: Pick it up another notch on them.
[13:12] Speaker 4: Be more aggressive because now we know we got them
[13:15] Speaker 4: out of their game. You know, when Steve get the
[13:17] Speaker 4: card complaining and stuff, oh, they hot. Eamon Thompson is
[13:21] Speaker 4: going to be the next Kawhi Leonard. More athletic. And
[13:24] Speaker 4: once he gets the jumper down, it's going to be crazy.
[13:28] Speaker 4: So I look at them as a team that set
[13:31] Speaker 4: the blueprint on how to stop a guy like Steph
[13:33] Speaker 4: and a guy like Trey Young and a guy like
[13:35] Speaker 4: Dame Lillard. Put pressure on these dudes. And what I'm
[13:39] Speaker 4: seeing with Houston also is the way they drive the lanes.
[13:41] Speaker 4: I think E-Mate's telling them drive.
[13:44] Speaker 2: Drive.
[13:44] Speaker 4: They're not settling for threes like every other team. So
[13:47] Speaker 4: I like that about them. The only thing they're missing
[13:50] Speaker 4: is a rim protector. I don't think Steven Adams is
[13:52] Speaker 4: a rim protector.
[13:53] Speaker 2: No. But outside of that.
[13:55] Speaker 1: They charge takers.
[13:57] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[13:57] Speaker 5: So that's their rim protection, right? They charge takers. Instead
[14:01] Speaker 5: of shot blocking. You got Dylan Brooks take charge. Sangoon
[14:04] Speaker 5: take charge. You got all them other guys.
[14:06] Speaker 1: Let Fred. Also leading the league in rebounding, too. Fred
[14:08] Speaker 1: definitely charge takers.
[14:09] Speaker 2: Fred is a charge taker. Yeah, he's led the league. So, yeah, no,
[14:13] Speaker 2: that's what they do. But.
[14:14] Speaker 6: So you look at what Amon Thompson's doing. Played the
[14:17] Speaker 6: Thunder game before, held SGA to 22 points. Coming with Steph,
[14:20] Speaker 6: seemed like the Rockets had a concerted strategy. Look, we're
[14:23] Speaker 6: not letting Steph beat us. The rest of y'all are
[14:25] Speaker 6: going to have to do it. And for as bad
[14:28] Speaker 6: as Steph played, just on paper with the stats, we're
[14:30] Speaker 6: still in the game until that fourth quarter. Like I said,
[14:32] Speaker 6: Rockets went on that 16-5 run. But how impressed are
[14:35] Speaker 6: you just with this Rockets in their defense? I think
[14:37] Speaker 6: fourth in the league right now.
[14:38] Speaker 4: It's incredible to see defense play at this intensity with
[14:42] Speaker 4: this type of competitiveness. I think that's what I'm saying
[14:45] Speaker 4: with E-May. He's a corner boy who had to get
[14:47] Speaker 4: it from the mud. So he knows what type of
[14:50] Speaker 4: buttons to push with those guys. And what I'm seeing,
[14:52] Speaker 4: even with Jalen Green, he's stepping up trying to play
[14:55] Speaker 4: some defense now. And when you got him playing, Eason,
[15:00] Speaker 4: all these guys all go get it.
[15:02] Speaker 2: They're like a college team. And it's impressive. I like
[15:06] Speaker 2: it a lot.
[15:06] Speaker 4: If I had a second team to pick, if I
[15:08] Speaker 4: could go away from New York, I'd pick Houston right now.
[15:10] Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
[15:12] Speaker 6: We'll see if you make a move this summer, free agency.
[15:14] Speaker 6: Let's move to this side, Lexi. Looking at that, Steph Curry,
[15:16] Speaker 6: three points. Like I said, second lowest scoring output this season.
[15:20] Speaker 6: Fewest points in a game in his career when he's
[15:23] Speaker 6: played 30-plus minutes.
[15:24] Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, yeah, they played great defense on him,
[15:27] Speaker 3: but he was like on a crazy run. So at
[15:29] Speaker 3: some point, you're going to have a game like that,
[15:31] Speaker 3: and everyone's just going to be like, well, what happened? Like,
[15:33] Speaker 3: you just have 50, you have 40, da-da-da. And sometimes
[15:36] Speaker 3: that just happens. He's been caring a lot for that
[15:38] Speaker 3: Warriors team. I really like the Rockets because they are
[15:41] Speaker 3: so young. So it's taken them some time, and I
[15:43] Speaker 3: think he really has gotten them to buy into this
[15:45] Speaker 3: defensive presence that they got. Is the twin, is he
[15:51] Speaker 3: in Defensive Player of the Year conversation?
[15:53] Speaker 6: Rockets fans have been singing his praises all season.
[15:55] Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I've seen.
[15:56] Speaker 6: I don't think he'll get close to getting that, but
[15:58] Speaker 6: should be in the running for an all-defensive team just
[16:00] Speaker 6: based on what he's doing this season.
[16:02] Speaker 3: I mean, I love seeing perimeter players playing defense and getting–
[16:05] Speaker 3: complimented for it because they get so lost in the
[16:08] Speaker 3: sauce of defensive player of the year with the, with
[16:09] Speaker 3: the post players that always win. So it's been nice
[16:12] Speaker 3: to see that too.
[16:13] Speaker 6: So shift over to you, Gil. Gil, what is this
[16:15] Speaker 6: Rockets win? Arguably the biggest game of the Warriors season.
[16:19] Speaker 6: You got a bunch of teams in the West fighting
[16:20] Speaker 6: to stay out of the plan, stay in that top six, all.
[16:24] Speaker 1: Clumped together right now.
[16:25] Speaker 6: What do you think about the Rockets going into the Bay,
[16:28] Speaker 6: getting their first win since 2020? I mean, it just
[16:31] Speaker 6: shows that they've been, you know, legit this whole time. Um,
[16:35] Speaker 6: It's more concerning to the Warriors than it is, you know, Houston.
[16:39] Speaker 6: Houston's been showing that they're a steady group. You know,
[16:45] Speaker 6: depending on their matchup in the playoffs is going to dictate,
[16:48] Speaker 6: you know, if they can get out of the first
[16:49] Speaker 6: round and keep moving further.
[16:51] Speaker 2: But, you know, you bring Jimmy Butler over to be
[16:54] Speaker 2: the second option and you see Steph struggling and you
[16:59] Speaker 2: don't take on the heavy load. It's really concerning.
[17:04] Speaker 1: Like, I don't.
[17:06] Speaker 2: I don't know what you're waiting for, and I don't
[17:09] Speaker 2: know if you think you can just turn it on
[17:10] Speaker 2: in the playoffs and just be this super aggressive person
[17:13] Speaker 2: because right now you're exhausting Steph at this point to
[17:17] Speaker 2: the point where he might not even be, you know, fully, fully,
[17:21] Speaker 2: you know, energized for the playoffs. This is one of
[17:24] Speaker 2: those games where you're supposed to be doing you. You
[17:29] Speaker 2: get all the way to the paint. 90% of every
[17:31] Speaker 2: time you drive, it's a pass. So if you ever
[17:36] Speaker 2: paid attention, no one's actually guarding you like that to
[17:39] Speaker 2: the point where you think you can turn it on
[17:41] Speaker 2: the last five minutes. That's cool, right? We know you
[17:43] Speaker 2: do that, but the other 43 actually do matter, right?
[17:49] Speaker 2: You're trying to, you're coming in, driving, being a decoy.
[17:54] Speaker 2: the 43 minutes to try to then turn it on
[17:55] Speaker 2: at the end of the game. It should be the
[17:56] Speaker 2: other way around. You should be so aggressive early that
[18:00] Speaker 2: when you get in the paint, they're going to be
[18:01] Speaker 2: double teamed. Then you can make these easy passes to
[18:04] Speaker 2: these guys. Yeah, that's what we've been saying.
[18:06] Speaker 5: Like, is when there's a game like this in the playoffs,
[18:13] Speaker 5: we've been saying what Jimmy needs to average and what
[18:15] Speaker 5: way he needs to play in order to get those averages. So,
[18:20] Speaker 5: there's going to be games like this.
[18:22] Speaker 2: And....
[18:24] Speaker 5: You gotta step up to it, man. Like, it's just,
[18:28] Speaker 5: you can't. Seven shots.
[18:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, seven shots. You know who did step up when
[18:33] Speaker 2: this type of shit happened with Steph? Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson.
[18:39] Speaker 2: And you know why Steph never.
[18:42] Speaker 4: Wiped the sweat off his fucking forehead? Because he knew
[18:45] Speaker 4: that dude was going to have his back. Hey, I'm tired.
[18:49] Speaker 2: I got you.
[18:50] Speaker 4: I got 12 clips for you. I got 12 threes
[18:53] Speaker 4: for you.
[18:54] Speaker 3: I got 30 points in a quarter.
[18:55] Speaker 2: Easy. Chilling.
[18:57] Speaker 1: And all you got to do is tell me, hey, look,
[18:59] Speaker 1: I need your help right now.
[19:00] Speaker 2: Cool.
[19:01] Speaker 4: Then you had a guy like Wiggins who was ready
[19:03] Speaker 4: for that, too. He was willing to step up.
[19:06] Speaker 1: It seems like Brandon Bojemski kind of is in that role.
[19:08] Speaker 1: He's been playing well. He's been playing very well. But
[19:09] Speaker 1: you have Buddy Hilton, Gary Payton II.
[19:12] Speaker 6: Bojemski, Gary Payton II, Buddy Hilton all took 14 shots
[19:15] Speaker 6: in the game, led the Warriors.
[19:17] Speaker 4: They are a piece. A piece. Jimmy took seven. Jimmy
[19:20] Speaker 4: took seven. Jimmy playing that team ball.
[19:23] Speaker 1: I'm just want to just play the game.
[19:25] Speaker 2: That's Jimmy. That's core Jimmy. Yeah.
[19:28] Speaker 4: He don't want to be the star. He hates that energy.
[19:33] Speaker 4: That's why he left Miami.
[19:36] Speaker 2: It was too much pressure. Yes.
[19:38] Speaker 4: Because then if he don't get it done when he
[19:40] Speaker 4: don't want to get it done. It looked bad on him,
[19:43] Speaker 4: but he's just like, bro, I'm just playing basketball. I'm
[19:46] Speaker 4: hitting the right guy. I'm driving Yeah, that's what people
[19:50] Speaker 4: do when you don't want to do it. They hang
[19:53] Speaker 4: their hat on that excuse. I'm just playing the right way.
[19:56] Speaker 3: Making the right plays.
[19:57] Speaker 6: I think 20-3 with Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler in
[20:00] Speaker 6: the line. I'm now after this loss, so it seems
[20:02] Speaker 6: to be working at this point. A lot of mid
[20:05] Speaker 6: in those 20 wins, though.
[20:07] Speaker 3: But you got to think long-term, like Gil said. Steph
[20:09] Speaker 3: cannot be exhausted going into the playoffs. Because whatever their
[20:12] Speaker 3: first round is, it's going to be hard. It's going
[20:15] Speaker 3: to be a battle for them. So if they're, if
[20:18] Speaker 3: he's exhausted going into the first round, if they win
[20:22] Speaker 3: the first round, then it's over with in the second round.
[20:25] Speaker 6: And right now, take it with a grain of salt
[20:27] Speaker 6: because the West is super tired right now.
[20:29] Speaker 1: It would be meeting with the Lakers 3-6. Right now.
[20:32] Speaker 2: But there's four teams with 46-32 records right now.
[20:34] Speaker 1: I remember this advice from.
[20:39] Speaker 2: Tony Bland gave to me. The legend. Yeah, he went
[20:43] Speaker 2: to Syracuse. It was his first year in Syracuse. He
[20:45] Speaker 2: came back, and we had a conversation, and he said, man, look,
[20:50] Speaker 2: when you go to Arizona, whatever you do in the game,
[20:55] Speaker 2: do that shit in practice. Don't go into practice playing
[21:00] Speaker 2: the right way or doing this passing shit, and you
[21:02] Speaker 2: get in the game and you try to shoot.
[21:03] Speaker 3: I hate that.
[21:04] Speaker 1: They're not used to that. That's the same thing with Jimmy.
[21:07] Speaker 2: You're playing a game that your teammates is being used to, right?
[21:11] Speaker 2: You drive and they getting open, you making the... When
[21:14] Speaker 2: you decide to then bring in a whole nother game,
[21:20] Speaker 2: those guys are not going to be used to that style.
[21:24] Speaker 2: And it's going to throw them off. So right now,
[21:26] Speaker 2: everyone's feeding on you driving the kick and they're getting
[21:28] Speaker 2: in position. What ends up happening when you stop passing
[21:31] Speaker 2: the ball and you're trying to take over? You need
[21:33] Speaker 2: to show that now so they understand... what person they're
[21:37] Speaker 2: looking at. He's just trying to be one of the guys.
[21:39] Speaker 3: And what percentage of playoff Jimmy you need? Like, you
[21:42] Speaker 3: don't need that crazy 100% that he showed us in
[21:47] Speaker 3: the bubble. You don't think they need that?
[21:49] Speaker 1: Why not?
[21:50] Speaker 3: Because he has different personnel.
[21:52] Speaker 2: Why?
[21:54] Speaker 4: I think that's, I'm agreeing with you with that. Like,
[21:59] Speaker 4: He doesn't know where to place that.
[22:02] Speaker 2: He don't know where, because he's trying.
[22:03] Speaker 1: To be one of the guys. He's like, I want
[22:05] Speaker 1: to be one of the guys.
[22:06] Speaker 2: You do you, y'all win.
[22:08] Speaker 1: He don't know what that is anymore. He is the
[22:10] Speaker 1: go-to guy.
[22:11] Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Steph is the best shooter, but at
[22:13] Speaker 2: the end of the day... all his shots are created
[22:16] Speaker 2: out of the offense itself.
[22:19] Speaker 1: Jimmy, you can go get your own.
[22:21] Speaker 2: Basically, the last two, three minutes, at the end of
[22:24] Speaker 2: the day, they have to go to you.
[22:26] Speaker 1: I don't know if they know. They don't know it yet.
[22:28] Speaker 2: But it's no different than that KD situation. Because this assistant,
[22:32] Speaker 2: they're passing the ball and cutting all that stuff. When
[22:34] Speaker 2: all that gets cut down, you're the only one that's
[22:35] Speaker 2: going to be able to go one-on-one and get your
[22:37] Speaker 2: own shot. So you have to start trying to show that.
[22:40] Speaker 4: Did y'all go to Nene early in the In the
[22:44] Speaker 4: first quarter to just kind of get him going. You
[22:47] Speaker 4: always get the big going just to go to him
[22:49] Speaker 4: early so he play defense.
[22:50] Speaker 1: Yeah, so he play defense.
[22:51] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
[22:51] Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
[22:54] Speaker 2: So he can rebound and all that shit. Make sure
[22:56] Speaker 2: you give him the ball. We're going to give you five. Yeah,
[22:59] Speaker 2: you're going to throw the ball down there.
[23:01] Speaker 1: So you think about that element of it.
[23:03] Speaker 4: Like, are you giving incentives based on how y'all play?
[23:08] Speaker 2: No. Like, what is it?
[23:12] Speaker 1: I don't agree with it. Just go hoop, man. Like,
[23:15] Speaker 1: I need your best.
[23:16] Speaker 5: I need the best version of you every time you
[23:18] Speaker 5: put your fucking shoes on.
[23:21] Speaker 3: Do you think he's having an issue because that is
[23:24] Speaker 3: such a systematic offense and team and he just is
[23:27] Speaker 3: trying to figure out.
[23:29] Speaker 2: Miami was too, though.
[23:31] Speaker 1: Got 25 games. System.
[23:32] Speaker 2: This is.
[23:32] Speaker 3: But it was a system that benefited... Jimmy's style of play.
[23:36] Speaker 4: Yeah, because there was no star that they were sending around.
[23:38] Speaker 4: He's sitting back seat. Alfred and them is in the front.
[23:42] Speaker 4: Jimmy's sitting in the back. Him and Steph, he's just
[23:45] Speaker 4: sitting there like, where we going? He ain't got to
[23:48] Speaker 4: do nothing. Pressure's off.
[23:50] Speaker 3: But he does.
[23:50] Speaker 2: Content.
[23:51] Speaker 3: He got to do more. He can't take seven shots.
[23:53] Speaker 1: No, it's the content of winning.
[23:55] Speaker 2: That's it.
[23:56] Speaker 1: He's in a winning situation. 46-32.
[23:59] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[24:00] Speaker 1: 20-3 with Jimmy and Steph.
[24:01] Speaker 2: So what ends up happening is you're looking at the record, right?
[24:05] Speaker 2: We're 20-3 this way. We're doing plenty. Yeah, so it's like,
[24:08] Speaker 2: what do I do?
[24:09] Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot. I'm doing my part for us
[24:12] Speaker 1: to be this. I'm doing my part.
[24:13] Speaker 2: He's probably saying if the record was changed, if he
[24:16] Speaker 2: was like 15-15. Like if they was losing, then yeah,
[24:18] Speaker 2: but the fact that they're winning, it's easy for him
[24:20] Speaker 2: to stay on the, it's working. The way I'm doing it,
[24:23] Speaker 2: it's working. It ain't broke, don't fix it. Right now,
[24:25] Speaker 2: we've got to do more. Like there's no guarantee. Pazinski
[24:29] Speaker 2: is your number two? All right. All right. Team's going
[24:34] Speaker 2: to live. All right. I'm just letting you know that
[24:37] Speaker 2: he ain't no Murray. He ain't no LeBron. He ain't
[24:40] Speaker 2: no Jalen Williams.
[24:41] Speaker 1: Jordan Poole.
[24:42] Speaker 2: Right?
[24:42] Speaker 1: He ain't no, like, he's.
[24:44] Speaker 2: Not as powerful as the other number twos is in
[24:49] Speaker 2: this league. He's not even an Austin Reeves number three.
[24:53] Speaker 2: Not even close. Right? So, if your number, your real
[24:57] Speaker 2: number two is playing like, eh, we'll just let it go,
[25:00] Speaker 2: you're going to have a problem. Man, that's nasty. That's
[25:04] Speaker 2: how you said that shit.
[25:05] Speaker 3: Especially if you have a Jimmy Butler.
[25:06] Speaker 2: Like, if we give a Miami Jimmy Butler, then, okay,
[25:09] Speaker 2: Pozinski being number three, okay, cool. But if Jimmy Butler
[25:13] Speaker 2: is playing below him, and it's like, yeah, I'm going
[25:15] Speaker 2: to give you seven, eight, nine shots, like, nah, bro,
[25:17] Speaker 2: you're going to have to put in about 18 good ones. Yeah.
[25:21] Speaker 1: Because you're going to get to the line. You're going
[25:23] Speaker 1: to do what Steph can't do.
[25:24] Speaker 3: And him scoring freezing stuff. So him... hanging back like that,
[25:28] Speaker 3: which is why he was in hell last night.
[25:30] Speaker 2: That's the perfect game because if you decide they can't
[25:33] Speaker 2: play Steph, if he's being aggressive, they can't play Steph.
[25:35] Speaker 2: Everybody in the perimeter because everybody's stuck on the perimeter, literally.
[25:39] Speaker 2: They literally stuck their best player on Steph That means
[25:42] Speaker 2: you're supposed to fuck them up. So now, A-Man's like, hey, switch.
[25:46] Speaker 1: I got him.
[25:47] Speaker 2: Now, Steph gets the little guy on him.
[25:51] Speaker 5: Now Dylan Brooks can play you one-on-one. So he can
[25:54] Speaker 5: play him one-on-one. Now they can help on Steph. Now
[25:56] Speaker 5: you're not being aggressive.
[25:59] Speaker 2: Kaminga got to drive. It's weird over there. I told
[26:03] Speaker 2: y'all it's weird.
[26:04] Speaker 6: So we talk about that Rockets game, but Warriors coming
[26:07] Speaker 6: off of two impressive games. Coming into Staples, beating the Lakers.
[26:11] Speaker 6: But Jimsky, I think, dropping a 28-piece in that game.
[26:14] Speaker 6: Beating the Nuggets, who are obviously dealing with their own
[26:17] Speaker 6: issues right now. So are we looking too much in
[26:19] Speaker 6: this game? The only reason, obviously, is their most recent game,
[26:22] Speaker 6: but also just given the magnitude.
[26:24] Speaker 1: And scope with the Western Conference playoff picture.
[26:26] Speaker 2: Looking the way it looks.
[26:27] Speaker 6: You would expect them to have a better showing at
[26:29] Speaker 6: home knowing how important this game is.
[26:31] Speaker 5: No, you're playing a really good team, though. Like, if
[26:33] Speaker 5: they lost to fucking Washington, then yeah. Or they lost
[26:37] Speaker 5: to Utah right now, you'd be like, yeah, what the
[26:40] Speaker 5: fuck y'all doing, bro? Like, so it's one of them situations. Like,
[26:44] Speaker 5: who beat Sacramento, beat Cleveland the other day?
[26:48] Speaker 2: Like, really?
[26:50] Speaker 1: Like, y'all losing them? So at home, so it's that
[26:54] Speaker 1: kind of a situation. So now they played a really
[26:56] Speaker 1: case fighting for still.
[26:58] Speaker 5: But still you are Cleveland Cavaliers. You trying to prove
[27:00] Speaker 5: to people that you are this team to be reckoned
[27:02] Speaker 5: with and you're so you gearing up for the playoffs.
[27:07] Speaker 5: So for Houston, yeah, like but playing a really good
[27:16] Speaker 5: basketball team. So Golden State, you lost. Steph didn't have
[27:19] Speaker 5: his best game. You said it was a close game
[27:22] Speaker 5: for most of the game. So you got something to
[27:24] Speaker 5: lay your hat on still. Like you said, you've been
[27:26] Speaker 5: playing well. You're 20-3 your last 23. So it's a
[27:29] Speaker 5: lot of positives here. So it's not like it's just
[27:32] Speaker 5: you went out, you got your doors. Basically, Steph playing
[27:36] Speaker 5: that way is the equivalent of you getting your doors
[27:38] Speaker 5: blew off.
[27:39] Speaker 2: Yeah. The bones of the team is good. Like what
[27:43] Speaker 2: Golden State has is good. It just needs to be fantastic.
[27:48] Speaker 2: Not even fine-tuned. It's just, hey, listen, you got to
[27:50] Speaker 2: shoot more. Yeah, we want to see some more in Jimmy. Yeah,
[27:52] Speaker 2: like Jimmy, you really got to actually be Jimmy. When
[27:55] Speaker 2: Steph is struggling, you have to do this. Because Steph
[27:59] Speaker 2: moves on his own. Everyone revolves around him. He doesn't
[28:03] Speaker 2: revolve around them. You're trying to revolve around them when
[28:07] Speaker 2: Draymond Green is doing it. You and Draymond can't do
[28:10] Speaker 2: the same thing. We can't do the same thing. That
[28:12] Speaker 2: was my thing. They're out there doing the same thing.
[28:13] Speaker 2: That's what I was saying. Them two on the court,
[28:15] Speaker 2: they're the same guy on the court.
[28:17] Speaker 3: But good defensively is good, right?
[28:20] Speaker 1: Because they balance the whole equation.
[28:23] Speaker 4: But offensively, you can't have your star, an all-NBA player,
[28:29] Speaker 4: saying that the coach has to tell him to do
[28:33] Speaker 4: certain shit when you should recognize the game and take
[28:36] Speaker 4: over when it's supposed to be taken over. We don't
[28:38] Speaker 4: have this energy. I have to bring it. We need
[28:42] Speaker 4: more shots offensively. I've only took three shots. It's the
[28:45] Speaker 4: first half. We're down. I need to get into attack mode.
[28:50] Speaker 4: These things are just like, as hoopers, we all know
[28:53] Speaker 4: this shit. Like, it's not new. It's literally, Jimmy, what
[28:56] Speaker 4: are you doing?
[28:57] Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like 20 and three. I think you've... I
[29:00] Speaker 3: think you fit in enough, Jimmy. Now do your thing.
[29:02] Speaker 1: Do your thing, bro.
[29:04] Speaker 2: That's when you have them old teammates, man. Like, Chucky Atkins.
[29:08] Speaker 2: If Chucky Atkins was a.
[29:09] Speaker 1: Teammate, ain't no way you got six times.
[29:11] Speaker 2: Man, man. What you doing out there? What the fuck?
[29:14] Speaker 1: I've been coming to see you sit there and.
[29:15] Speaker 2: Pass the ball over there.
[29:17] Speaker 1: I could do that. Jimmy, on your team.
[29:19] Speaker 2: If I was out here doing that, I'd be on
[29:20] Speaker 2: the bench.
[29:22] Speaker 1: Talking loud, too. During the game.
[29:23] Speaker 2: Loud. Loud as fuck. During the free throw. Damn, Jimmy,
[29:27] Speaker 2: what the fuck we doing out here? We've been like
[29:29] Speaker 2: nine minutes. You got three shots. Bring your ass over
[29:31] Speaker 2: here with me, man. I didn't pay to see this
[29:33] Speaker 2: type of Jimmy. You might as well come over here
[29:35] Speaker 2: and sit with us. Your old teammate would be calling
[29:37] Speaker 2: you out to be more aggressive.
[29:39] Speaker 1: She to do that shit.
[29:43] Speaker 2: We win as a team, but you still got to
[29:46] Speaker 2: be an individual. When you're sitting there knowing that this
[29:50] Speaker 2: man is Jimi Hendrix. Bucket get in. He has this
[29:55] Speaker 2: it in him. Bring it out. Come on, bro. All
[29:58] Speaker 2: the time. Man. All the time. You know when to defer.
[30:02] Speaker 2: When he got it going. When Steph got it hot.
[30:04] Speaker 2: You know when to do your thing. Let me slow
[30:05] Speaker 2: it down a little bit. We don't even know when
[30:06] Speaker 2: you have it going in the locker room. We don't
[30:08] Speaker 2: even know if you're hot. Like the other day in Memphis.
[30:11] Speaker 2: That's the game.
[30:11] Speaker 1: You take seven shots.
[30:12] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[30:14] Speaker 1: That's the game you take 70 shots. Jimmy, 27 in
[30:16] Speaker 1: that game.
[30:17] Speaker 2: And he was still balling. That doesn't even make sense.
[30:22] Speaker 2: 11 shots. He was aggressive. He was aggressive. Getting to
[30:26] Speaker 2: the line.
[30:27] Speaker 1: So they playing Steph a certain way, you being aggressive.
[30:33] Speaker 2: Every night.
[30:34] Speaker 1: Every night.
[30:35] Speaker 2: This is our new formula.
[30:38] Speaker 4: Steph, me, I'm going to do this. Steph is going
[30:40] Speaker 4: to get his, and we're going to be good. Draymond,
[30:42] Speaker 4: you be in the middle.
[30:43] Speaker 2: I got to be seeing him drive, and he's right
[30:46] Speaker 2: here next to him. Right here. He'll pump fake drive
[30:48] Speaker 2: and be right here to pull up. And you are passing.
[30:51] Speaker 2: Who the fuck are you.
[30:52] Speaker 1: Passing it to? Who are you passing?
[30:54] Speaker 2: Is that Moody? No offense, but God damn, it's not
[30:57] Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler right here. Moody shooting the three in the corner.
[31:00] Speaker 2: I'm going to take Jimmy Butler for the win. Every
[31:02] Speaker 2: single time, I don't want you to pass it to him.
[31:05] Speaker 2: Him and whoever. For the corner three. For the corner three.
[31:07] Speaker 1: No, shoot this 17-footer, dude.
[31:10] Speaker 2: Shaleen, 17-foot. At that point, you got two feet to paint.
[31:13] Speaker 2: If that was Draymond Green, I'd be like, shoot that shit.
[31:16] Speaker 2: You right there.
[31:17] Speaker 1: Man. Two feet to paint. You perfect pass that bitch out.
[31:21] Speaker 2: Weird.
[31:21] Speaker 1: So, Jimmy, 26 games with the Warriors.
[31:24] Speaker 6: We know his playoff Jimmy exploits in years past, and
[31:26] Speaker 6: we feel like he'll be able to turn it on.
[31:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
[31:31] Speaker 3: He is who he is.
[31:31] Speaker 2: As much shit as I'm talking. Yeah. It seemed like
[31:35] Speaker 2: he has it dialed in to there's a regular season, Jimmy,
[31:38] Speaker 2: and then there's playoffs. And, you know, the most time
[31:41] Speaker 2: we question.
[31:42] Speaker 1: We usually question the regular season, Jimmy. I don't understand
[31:45] Speaker 1: that shit, though.
[31:46] Speaker 2: All I know, that shit better work this year.
[31:48] Speaker 3: He's ready to win.
[31:49] Speaker 2: That shit better work.
[31:49] Speaker 3: He's got to get to the playoffs.
[31:50] Speaker 1: He ain't going to hear the end of it. It's
[31:52] Speaker 1: a weird thing. He ain't going to hear the end
[31:55] Speaker 1: of it from me.
[31:56] Speaker 2: He'll swear.
[31:56] Speaker 1: I don't know how not to play, like, win game
[31:58] Speaker 1: on the line.
[31:58] Speaker 5: Like, shit matter. Like, every possession. I don't know how
[32:01] Speaker 5: to do that.
[32:02] Speaker 2: I think.
[32:02] Speaker 1: I just think.
[32:04] Speaker 3: Has he always been like that? Or when the bubble happened,
[32:07] Speaker 3: that became like that?
[32:08] Speaker 6: I mean, in recent years, obviously, he made the comments
[32:09] Speaker 6: he don't really turn it on until after All-Star break.
[32:11] Speaker 6: But if you look pre-All-Star break versus post-All-Star break.
[32:14] Speaker 2: It's the same numbers.
[32:14] Speaker 1: Very comparable.
[32:15] Speaker 2: It just looks different in the last five years. No, no.
[32:18] Speaker 4: It's the same numbers, but the fucking play is different.
[32:21] Speaker 2: It just looks different, yeah. 100%. Yeah, it's still 21,
[32:25] Speaker 2: but the 21 looked way more impactful. It's aggressive.
[32:28] Speaker 1: Which is the weird part, right?
[32:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an aggressive.
[32:30] Speaker 5: Yeah, people thought he went from 21 to motherfucking 28, like.
[32:35] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[32:41] Speaker 2: What it is. The same is just the....
[32:44] Speaker 1: It's like the last 10.
[32:45] Speaker 2: He getting the last 10 buckets.
[32:46] Speaker 1: He ain't passing the ball.
[32:47] Speaker 2: It's something that's happening in the last five minutes that
[32:50] Speaker 2: separates it.
[32:51] Speaker 1: We watch it and we see it.
[32:52] Speaker 4: It's like we're complaining right now. Two feet in the
[32:55] Speaker 4: paint and he's looking and he's passing and we're like,
[32:58] Speaker 4: is it that easy for you, Jimmy, to the point
[33:01] Speaker 4: where you really are deciding when to cut it on
[33:03] Speaker 4: and off?
[33:03] Speaker 2: He's bored.
[33:04] Speaker 1: He's bored.
[33:06] Speaker 2: Well, shit.
[33:07] Speaker 1: He's bored. That boredom will be going away very soon.
[33:11] Speaker 2: But you got to win a chip. Yeah. That's what
[33:12] Speaker 2: I'm saying. You can't just be bored on no chips. Like,
[33:15] Speaker 2: you got to get a chip.
[33:16] Speaker 6: Draymond previously said, Jimmy made the Warriors a championship level
[33:19] Speaker 6: ball club.
[33:20] Speaker 2: It's warm. It's warm. The purple is called Gills Arena.
[33:22] Speaker 1: T-shirt underneath. But I thought y'all won the finals last night.
[33:25] Speaker 2: That's coordinate.
[33:26] Speaker 1: 12-12.
[33:32] Speaker 6: The Lucas, the Lakers, one and the same. We asked
[33:34] Speaker 6: the chat, are you worried about the Warriors? 62% said
[33:38] Speaker 6: they aren't stressed.
[33:39] Speaker 2: No.
[33:40] Speaker 6: And Warriors fans seem to be under the impression that
[33:41] Speaker 6: they're ready to see these Lakers if they do end
[33:43] Speaker 6: up meeting in the playoffs. We will see. But let's
[33:46] Speaker 6: talk about a moment happening in the game. Shortly after
[33:48] Speaker 6: Steph got his only bucket of the game at the
[33:51] Speaker 6: end of the second quarter, this happened. Cameras caught. Steph
[33:57] Speaker 6: and Ime Adoka having a little back and forth. You
[34:01] Speaker 6: see Draymond pumped up, animated. But right here, Steph walking off.
[34:06] Speaker 6: E-Man Adoka walks into frame. They exchange some words. Keep
[34:13] Speaker 6: it going.
[34:14] Speaker 2: You don't want these problems, Steph. No, no, Steph said
[34:16] Speaker 2: you don't want these problems, coach.
[34:18] Speaker 6: So after the game, Steph was asked about it, jokingly
[34:21] Speaker 6: said that Adoka made a restaurant at International Smoke, Steph's
[34:24] Speaker 6: wife's restaurant, and canceled it, which he wasn't happy about.
[34:28] Speaker 6: But we're talking about the physicality and the fouling.
[34:31] Speaker 1: International smoke.
[34:31] Speaker 6: It's called Very Delicious Ribs, Macaroni and Cheese, Leaves Much
[34:35] Speaker 6: to Be Desired. I have sampled it before.
[34:36] Speaker 2: Leaves Much to Be Desired.
[34:38] Speaker 3: I'm going to start saying that about stuff.
[34:40] Speaker 1: Of course you have. I'm going to show support to
[34:42] Speaker 1: Steph Curry.
[34:43] Speaker 2: Macaroni and cheese.
[34:46] Speaker 1: Too many herbs and seasonings on it. My particular taste, but.
[34:50] Speaker 6: So he said that Adoka made a reservation at International Smoke, canceled.
[34:53] Speaker 1: He wasn't happy about that.
[34:54] Speaker 6: But Jimmy Butler came to Steph's defense in his post-game
[34:57] Speaker 6: interview saying, I've never seen an individual get fouled more
[35:00] Speaker 6: than he gets fouled. To me, I think that's astounding. But,
[35:03] Speaker 6: you know, it's crazy to say, but he's used to it.
[35:05] Speaker 6: It's been happening to him his whole career, and he's
[35:07] Speaker 6: found a way through it, around it, under it, whatever
[35:09] Speaker 6: you want to call it.
[35:10] Speaker 1: That's tough.
[35:11] Speaker 6: So Adoka was also asked about the exchange with Steph
[35:14] Speaker 6: and the Warriors complaining about foul calls, and he had
[35:16] Speaker 6: this to say. He said, when people start complaining about
[35:20] Speaker 6: foul calls or crying about physicality, you've.
[35:23] Speaker 1: Done your job. That's the first step in winning the battle.
[35:26] Speaker 6: So I told my team, when this team starts crying
[35:28] Speaker 6: about it, up the intensity, up the aggressiveness, and make
[35:32] Speaker 6: the refs adjust to you. Do you like Emei Adoka's
[35:35] Speaker 6: approach and mentality with the Rockets in terms of their physicality?
[35:38] Speaker 5: It's the way he played basketball, so I wouldn't expect
[35:42] Speaker 5: him to coach any other way. You got a bunch
[35:46] Speaker 5: of guys, young guys, who he can mold into that.
[35:50] Speaker 5: You got a guy already who you added to that,
[35:53] Speaker 5: Dylan Brooks, that plays that way already. Doesn't need your
[35:58] Speaker 5: assistance in this way.
[36:00] Speaker 1: I was already going to do it.
[36:03] Speaker 5: Yeah, no, they've become that, man. They've taken on identity
[36:06] Speaker 5: of their head coach. And, yeah, I'm with it. You know,
[36:11] Speaker 5: I'm all for imposing your will on people.
[36:14] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[36:16] Speaker 5: Seems that's what they ended up to do. And they
[36:19] Speaker 5: don't mind fouling to get it done. So when you
[36:22] Speaker 5: don't mind fouling to prove a point, then you will
[36:25] Speaker 5: prove those. Shoot as many free throws as you want.
[36:29] Speaker 5: But we're not going to adjust. So I'm with it.
[36:33] Speaker 2: Good.
[36:34] Speaker 6: You like Eman Adoka's approach in terms of physicality and
[36:37] Speaker 6: getting other teams to complain about foul calls?
[36:39] Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, it works. It works in preseason.
[36:44] Speaker 1: I mean, in regular season.
[36:47] Speaker 2: And, I mean, I like the approach where he says,
[36:49] Speaker 2: you know, you up it and let the refs adjust
[36:52] Speaker 2: to you. Just, you know, understand that playoffs will favor
[36:58] Speaker 2: them because, you know, it's more physical play. You're allowed
[37:02] Speaker 2: to get away with a little bit more. You know, but,
[37:06] Speaker 2: you know, whatever calls Steph don't get here, he will
[37:10] Speaker 2: be getting them in the playoffs. So as long as
[37:13] Speaker 2: they know how to adjust fast. But, you know, they
[37:15] Speaker 2: have a team that actually know how to play defense, right?
[37:17] Speaker 2: You're not talking about a group of guys that are
[37:19] Speaker 2: just trying to bully. They actually do, all of them
[37:22] Speaker 2: know how to play defense. So they're going to be
[37:24] Speaker 2: able to adjust fast. Emei Udoka, Coach of the Year.
[37:28] Speaker 4: The Boston Celtics' whole championship swagger was jacked from him.
[37:35] Speaker 4: And now we're seeing him rebuild his whole swag again
[37:40] Speaker 4: in the West. And I think it should be Very
[37:43] Speaker 4: appreciated because the grittiness that the Boston Celtics has built
[37:47] Speaker 4: come from his pedigree down in San Antonio. And like
[37:51] Speaker 4: I said, as a corner boy, he knows what that
[37:53] Speaker 4: grit looks like and what that. you know, that intensity
[37:57] Speaker 4: looks like, that face-off with Steph.
[37:59] Speaker 2: Yeah. Didn't he have one with LeBron?
[38:01] Speaker 1: He did have one with LeBron. He don't give a
[38:03] Speaker 1: fuck about these.
[38:03] Speaker 2: Dudes, man. He don't give a fuck about y'all.
[38:05] Speaker 1: I called him the B-word. The fuck you think this is, man? Man,
[38:08] Speaker 1: it's a player's league, and ain't no player above no
[38:11] Speaker 1: other player.
[38:12] Speaker 2: So I like his approach. I like it a lot.
[38:14] Speaker 6: We talked about it last week, but even E-Major's changing
[38:17] Speaker 6: the culture in Houston so fast. You talked about what
[38:19] Speaker 6: he did with the Celtics. That Celtics squad going on
[38:21] Speaker 6: to win a championship with Missoula. Now coming with this
[38:23] Speaker 6: Rocket squad. Don't have necessarily that Tatum. Jalen Brown, but
[38:26] Speaker 6: you got Jalen Green, Albert Shangun.
[38:28] Speaker 1: A lot of different people. Two emerging young stars.
[38:31] Speaker 4: And you look at, you know, that scenario with them two,
[38:33] Speaker 4: and you got, what I'm saying, Missoula and Edoka.
[38:37] Speaker 2: Yeah. And then you got Mark Jackson, Steve Kerr.
[38:39] Speaker 4: Like, if Mark Jackson gets another opportunity to ever coach,
[38:43] Speaker 4: he could put players in position to look like Clay, Steph,
[38:45] Speaker 4: and Draymond as far as that mentality of what you
[38:49] Speaker 4: need to do when you're on the floor. So, he
[38:51] Speaker 4: may deserve a lot more credit than he's being given.
[38:55] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[38:55] Speaker 6: Lexi, you agree with that? Obviously, Celtics fans saw what
[38:58] Speaker 6: he may did over there.
[38:58] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[38:59] Speaker 1: The situation, but got his career back together.
[39:01] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[39:02] Speaker 3: And I want to shout out like Dylan Brooks, because
[39:04] Speaker 3: he kind of was in a weird situation when Memphis
[39:07] Speaker 3: got rid of him. And people kind of were not
[39:11] Speaker 3: high on him because of his overaggressive play and things.
[39:13] Speaker 3: Now you're kind of seeing what's going on in Memphis
[39:15] Speaker 3: and how they kind of needed that from him. And
[39:17] Speaker 3: now he's on a team where he's embraced more. and
[39:20] Speaker 3: the team has taken on that entire personality, but they
[39:23] Speaker 3: don't do the most. They just really just lock up
[39:25] Speaker 3: and play really hard. And I think that's the environment
[39:28] Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks needed. and he's been doing really well. So
[39:31] Speaker 3: I'm really happy for Dylan Brooks because the way Memphis...
[39:35] Speaker 3: got rid of him was not cool.
[39:37] Speaker 2: He's still poking the bear. Obviously, he had the situation
[39:38] Speaker 2: with the Lakers.
[39:39] Speaker 1: Did a lot of talking in that playoff series and
[39:41] Speaker 1: kind of backed down towards the end of it.
[39:42] Speaker 6: I think that was what your issue was with him.
[39:44] Speaker 6: Keep it consistent.
[39:45] Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it.
[39:46] Speaker 3: Yeah, that was.
[39:48] Speaker 2: If Memphis didn't get rid of him, shit, he took
[39:49] Speaker 2: the money. Shit, he followed up the money.
[39:53] Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but they tried to make him like a scapegoat.
[39:54] Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely tried to make him. No, they tried it.
[39:56] Speaker 3: No, they tried it.
[39:59] Speaker 5: He wouldn't make no scapegoat. That's the way he was
[40:01] Speaker 5: being him. Nobody make him.
[40:03] Speaker 2: No, Memphis was. No, the series was.
[40:05] Speaker 1: He was poking, and then at the end, he wouldn't
[40:07] Speaker 1: do no interviews and.
[40:08] Speaker 2: All that stuff.
[40:09] Speaker 1: I hear all that, but he took the money, God
[40:11] Speaker 1: damn it.
[40:11] Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but they still kind of tried to pay
[40:13] Speaker 3: him weird.
[40:13] Speaker 1: But the Grizzlies did announce they weren't going to re-sign him.
[40:15] Speaker 2: Yeah, they did. It was weird.
[40:17] Speaker 3: They was moving weird.
[40:18] Speaker 2: That's what they did.
[40:19] Speaker 1: Nobody had no offers. Trust me, they would have signed him.
[40:22] Speaker 1: So we asked to chat how the Rockets are going
[40:26] Speaker 1: to fare in the postseason. Gave them four options. First
[40:28] Speaker 1: round exit, win a playoff series, make the Western Conference Finals,
[40:31] Speaker 1: make the finals. 51% of the chat thinks the Rockets
[40:34] Speaker 1: will win a playoff series. 42% said first round exit. 5%
[40:38] Speaker 1: of the chat thinks the Rockets can make the Western
[40:40] Speaker 1: Conference Finals. 2% thinks they can make the finals. 2%
[40:43] Speaker 1: likely all in Houston. But Shout out to our chat,
[40:47] Speaker 1: we are a diverse chat all over the world.
[40:49] Speaker 3: First round exit.
[40:50] Speaker 1: So speaking of fouls and physicality, we also gotta talk
[40:52] Speaker 1: about a questionable moment involving Draymond Green in the game.
[40:56] Speaker 6: Let's take a look at that play. So Draymond drove
[40:58] Speaker 6: to the basket, appears to be in a normal shooting motion,
[41:01] Speaker 6: but caught Shane Goon with an elbow as he drove
[41:05] Speaker 6: to the hole.
[41:05] Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the replay. Oh, damn.
[41:07] Speaker 1: But finished it, got the bucket. Green made the shot,
[41:11] Speaker 1: but was whistled for an offensive foul.
[41:13] Speaker 2: One more look.
[41:15] Speaker 6: Upon further review, Green was given a flagrant foul on
[41:17] Speaker 6: the play. Shang-Goon ended up getting some free throws as
[41:20] Speaker 6: a result. Green and Shang-Goon also got into it earlier
[41:23] Speaker 6: in the second quarter with Green getting hit with the tech.
[41:26] Speaker 6: So you guys have all seen the play. Did Draymond
[41:28] Speaker 6: deserve a flagrant foul for that play? No, that's a
[41:31] Speaker 6: defensive foul.
[41:34] Speaker 1: In the restricted area? In the restricted area.
[41:36] Speaker 2: He didn't go there, did he?
[41:37] Speaker 1: No, Draymond already jumped.
[41:40] Speaker 2: You late, dude.
[41:41] Speaker 5: That's a defensive foul, man. And that's a reputation call.
[41:44] Speaker 5: That's all that is. That's past history. That's a repeat offender.
[41:48] Speaker 5: You're not getting the benefit of the doubt. All of
[41:51] Speaker 5: that in one.
[41:53] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[41:54] Speaker 4: You're the defender. Draymond did that to you. Are you
[41:59] Speaker 4: hoping it's an offensive foul? If you're the defender?
[42:03] Speaker 2: Yeah. Because it's an offensive foul, right?
[42:07] Speaker 1: That's not.
[42:08] Speaker 2: You think it is?
[42:09] Speaker 1: That's not offensive.
[42:10] Speaker 6: Well, that's what it was called. And eventually I ran
[42:12] Speaker 6: into a flagrant. Well, yeah, with your elbow.
[42:15] Speaker 1: No, but look at it.
[42:15] Speaker 2: He already, Draymond's catching the ball.
[42:17] Speaker 3: They had to make it flagrant because that's the rule.
[42:19] Speaker 2: He's not vertical at all.
[42:20] Speaker 3: You hit someone in the face.
[42:21] Speaker 1: No, I'm saying. He don't even get a chance to
[42:23] Speaker 1: get vertical. Just his angle. So how else are you
[42:27] Speaker 1: supposed to shoot the ball, though?
[42:28] Speaker 2: But it's how he shot the ball. How?
[42:30] Speaker 1: He going like this at the rim. You pass me.
[42:33] Speaker 4: The ball, I'm going up. That's how he used to go.
[42:36] Speaker 4: He used to attack the rim the same way. I'm
[42:38] Speaker 4: going up.
[42:38] Speaker 2: Elbows and boom, bump, boom.
[42:41] Speaker 4: But if you are big and you stand, he hits
[42:43] Speaker 4: you in your face. He didn't get a chance to
[42:45] Speaker 4: get vertical. I understand, but the way it looked. Can
[42:48] Speaker 4: we check it out one more time? He never got
[42:49] Speaker 4: a chance to get vertical.
[42:50] Speaker 2: He late.
[42:51] Speaker 1: That's a foul, dude.
[42:54] Speaker 2: You late.
[42:54] Speaker 5: You in a restricted area. Listen, your reaction, play it again.
[43:00] Speaker 5: Here's a replay.
[43:01] Speaker 1: You in a restricted area for one.
[43:03] Speaker 2: No, we understand this part. He's about to jump. Right there.
[43:05] Speaker 2: That's your fault. Get your face out there.
[43:07] Speaker 1: Your arms are down. He's leading with his face.
[43:10] Speaker 2: Yeah, get your.
[43:15] Speaker 4: Face out at the same time if you're if i'm
[43:18] Speaker 4: asking if y'all are defenders you gotta get up and
[43:21] Speaker 4: i understand i'm understanding that and i'm late coming across
[43:23] Speaker 4: so i'm automatically not there yeah but if i come
[43:27] Speaker 4: across and he hits me in my face boom like
[43:30] Speaker 4: this if he don't but they're not calling it based
[43:34] Speaker 4: on him being inside the restriction it's just it's a
[43:36] Speaker 4: blow to the face if you don't jump he don't
[43:38] Speaker 4: get hit yeah i'm trying now he hit before he
[43:40] Speaker 4: need the ground see like it He's.
[43:43] Speaker 3: Not even off the ground.
[43:44] Speaker 2: Until after Draymond's off the ground. It looks more like
[43:47] Speaker 2: a flop than anything, depending on the angle. He's about
[43:53] Speaker 2: to jump.
[43:54] Speaker 1: Look, he's about to jump with Draymond if he don't
[43:56] Speaker 1: get hit right there.
[43:57] Speaker 2: He's jumping.
[43:58] Speaker 3: The verticality, you got to jump forward.
[44:01] Speaker 1: That's a foul, man.
[44:02] Speaker 2: That's a defensive foul.
[44:03] Speaker 3: I ain't taking one for the team like that. Sorry.
[44:06] Speaker 1: That's a defensive foul. That's a foul. Only Draymond getting
[44:08] Speaker 1: that call. Yeah.
[44:09] Speaker 2: And that's because.
[44:10] Speaker 1: If you sell it, I think anybody.
[44:11] Speaker 2: But because of the bullshit that happened between them earlier.
[44:15] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a defensive foul. But if.
[44:16] Speaker 2: This is a problem where a ref needs to be
[44:18] Speaker 2: a player. Because if you're saying he lay with his elbows...
[44:23] Speaker 2: The question then becomes, how would you go up for
[44:25] Speaker 2: the layup then?
[44:27] Speaker 1: He's reckless, though. What I'm saying is, how.
[44:28] Speaker 2: Would you go up for it? He's known for being reckless.
[44:33] Speaker 2: He's known for being reckless. It's a reputation thing. That's
[44:37] Speaker 2: the problem right there. Think about Metta World Peace. Think
[44:42] Speaker 2: if Metta did that. I was there. You would see
[44:45] Speaker 2: it as that's Metta being Metta. I got reputation calls
[44:48] Speaker 2: as well, right?
[44:50] Speaker 5: Some of the calls that they called against me wasn't fucking...
[44:53] Speaker 5: Other guys wasn't flagrant, won none of this shit. They
[44:55] Speaker 5: just play on or common foul. So I get it.
[44:58] Speaker 5: It's unfortunate that he's built this reputation up that you're
[45:03] Speaker 5: not getting the benefit of the doubt no matter what
[45:05] Speaker 5: the situation is.
[45:06] Speaker 4: Because it looks like you're targeting that. That's what it
[45:09] Speaker 4: looks like.
[45:09] Speaker 2: But even when you rewatch it and slow it down,
[45:11] Speaker 2: and that's why I said I will ask the ref,
[45:14] Speaker 2: all right, what are you looking for? How is he
[45:18] Speaker 2: supposed to do this layup? He's coming, someone's jumping. Is
[45:22] Speaker 2: he supposed to jump straight up like this? Because your
[45:25] Speaker 2: natural reaction is, let's say I bounce it. If I
[45:27] Speaker 2: bounce it, I'm going like this. So my elbows is
[45:30] Speaker 2: automatically up. That's just actually the behavior of you going up.
[45:34] Speaker 2: So if he's leading with his face and I'm jumping
[45:36] Speaker 2: this way to turn this way, I can say if
[45:38] Speaker 2: he came and then he's... But he's jumping with this arm.
[45:42] Speaker 2: We know from... past experience.
[45:45] Speaker 1: See, that's the problem.
[45:45] Speaker 2: Can't do past. See, that's the problem.
[45:47] Speaker 1: Stomping on somebody. That's the problem.
[45:49] Speaker 2: We're talking about all the things that are going to
[45:52] Speaker 2: bring attention to this play being flagrant. If this play
[45:56] Speaker 2: looks flagrant at all, And it's you.
[45:59] Speaker 1: Involved in it.
[46:01] Speaker 2: We know you tried to do it. Okay, but look.
[46:03] Speaker 1: You don't know that.
[46:04] Speaker 2: You don't know that man intention. That's what it looks like.
[46:07] Speaker 1: It looks like, but damn that. Perception is the reality.
[46:09] Speaker 2: Perception is not reality. It is. But the refs have
[46:12] Speaker 2: the benefit of watching that in promo. And they can
[46:14] Speaker 2: change the perception. They can change the perception, right?
[46:17] Speaker 5: But if you go back and listen to it when
[46:19] Speaker 5: he explained it, talking about he wound up and tried to,
[46:23] Speaker 5: no wind up, none of that shit involved.
[46:24] Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? You're watching, so you're like,
[46:27] Speaker 2: if this is just... We didn't have a reaction. We
[46:30] Speaker 2: don't have a replay. Makes sense, right? You're going off
[46:33] Speaker 2: the reaction in real time. Back when we played. It
[46:35] Speaker 2: looked like an offensive foul. Now you get to rewind
[46:40] Speaker 2: and look. Now the question is, what are you looking
[46:42] Speaker 2: at now? All the players are saying, well, that's our normal.
[46:46] Speaker 2: What's in there? You remember when we used to come
[46:47] Speaker 2: in and dunk like this?
[46:48] Speaker 1: Oh, you're kicking.
[46:49] Speaker 2: How the fuck am I supposed to jump if I
[46:51] Speaker 2: jump off one player? You're supposed to jump in. Look,
[46:57] Speaker 2: how do you jump for a fucking layup? Jump off
[47:00] Speaker 2: one foot and jump straight up. Because you're not an athlete,
[47:03] Speaker 2: you don't know actually how you're supposed to jump. So
[47:07] Speaker 2: you're saying to us, you're watching and saying, well, he
[47:10] Speaker 2: lay with his elbow. Okay, I would have said, hey, here,
[47:13] Speaker 2: now you're going for a layup. And you're going to
[47:14] Speaker 2: do the same motion. Exactly.
[47:16] Speaker 1: But look, what I'm saying is you're right.
[47:19] Speaker 4: It's a block. It's a block and one, right? Only
[47:23] Speaker 4: because he's inside the restriction.
[47:24] Speaker 2: Absolutely. That's it. That's it. That's not my argument. My
[47:29] Speaker 2: argument is not the restriction area. It was the fact
[47:32] Speaker 2: that it was an offensive foul because.
[47:34] Speaker 1: He led with his elbow.
[47:35] Speaker 2: Nah, man.
[47:35] Speaker 1: But it's a natural lead. And we are taught as bigs, man.
[47:39] Speaker 2: Right? No, but listen. My college coach, listen.
[47:44] Speaker 1: Chest, chin, rim.
[47:46] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Chest, chin, rim. He put his head out there.
[47:51] Speaker 1: You take your form and try to knock his goddamn
[47:53] Speaker 1: head off.
[47:54] Speaker 2: Right?
[47:56] Speaker 1: Draymond a big. He played a big.
[47:58] Speaker 2: Right?
[47:58] Speaker 5: That's what it is, man. Try to knock your shit off.
[48:01] Speaker 5: You put your head out there. You see a guy
[48:02] Speaker 5: in a restricted area.
[48:03] Speaker 2: Yeah. Almost a freebie. I'm going to try to get. Yes.
[48:06] Speaker 2: That's a foul. There was no.
[48:07] Speaker 4: You in a restricted area. We were taught to make
[48:10] Speaker 4: the charged guy pay. If he's going to take a
[48:12] Speaker 4: charge on me, he's never going to take a charge
[48:15] Speaker 4: on me again.
[48:16] Speaker 2: Right? If you're going to be a big and you're
[48:18] Speaker 2: fouling me hard, I'm going to.
[48:20] Speaker 5: And you lead with your face out here? Yeah, I
[48:23] Speaker 5: got to go get... I get it.
[48:24] Speaker 2: I get what you're saying.
[48:25] Speaker 1: I want them things to chomp.
[48:27] Speaker 4: I'm saying as far as what it looked like, it
[48:29] Speaker 4: looked like a foul. It looked like an offensive foul.
[48:31] Speaker 2: Like elbows out is like... Like I get it. Even
[48:34] Speaker 2: when people say elbows out, go make a layup. Go
[48:38] Speaker 2: do a power layup. Bounce it and then someone's jumping. Motherfucker,
[48:41] Speaker 2: you see I'm already like this. When you see motherfuckers
[48:44] Speaker 2: saying goon dunking, where's his elbows? If somebody jump from
[48:47] Speaker 2: the side, you're getting hit. So if you lead with
[48:50] Speaker 2: your face, that's the first thing that's going to get hit.
[48:53] Speaker 1: Absolutely.
[48:55] Speaker 2: Y'all remember this? Y'all remember when they used to do this?
[48:58] Speaker 2: Like you shoot and they used to go like this?
[49:00] Speaker 2: You put your hand under.
[49:01] Speaker 1: Y'all know that they don't do.
[49:02] Speaker 2: That shit no more. As soon as I shoot and
[49:04] Speaker 2: you put your hand, I'm a Shane Battier. Shane Battier, yeah.
[49:07] Speaker 2: You hit me.
[49:08] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[49:09] Speaker 2: Fucking poked me in my eye. Yeah. Right? Foul, foul, foul.
[49:13] Speaker 1: They stopped doing that shit.
[49:14] Speaker 2: Yeah. Right?
[49:15] Speaker 1: That shit didn't work no way. Yeah, it didn't work
[49:17] Speaker 1: no way. Did it not?
[49:18] Speaker 3: No.
[49:19] Speaker 2: No. It looks good in theory.
[49:20] Speaker 1: I already saw the rim.
[49:21] Speaker 2: It looks good in theory.
[49:22] Speaker 1: Yes.
[49:22] Speaker 2: But I just hit my head. You can't touch my face.
[49:25] Speaker 2: Just imagine. You already like this. He already saw the rim. Like,
[49:30] Speaker 2: it don't matter.
[49:30] Speaker 1: I used to hit motherfuckers in their nose.
[49:33] Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to... I'd get on the ground, I'd
[49:37] Speaker 2: start rubbing my eye and shit. I'm like, you're fucking
[49:39] Speaker 2: digging his nose. They be mad at me. I do.
[49:44] Speaker 2: I'm kind of, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I used to
[49:46] Speaker 2: do that shit. Hey, I used to do that shit.
[49:48] Speaker 2: Be holding, then be, like, purposely doing this. Look, pinky shit. Like,
[49:52] Speaker 2: come on, man. He hit me. Oh, I got your
[49:54] Speaker 2: next sign. Here we go. Dumbass. Looking for that shit
[49:57] Speaker 2: for the rest of the night.
[49:57] Speaker 1: Looking for that shit for the rest of the game.
[49:58] Speaker 1: The rest of the game.
[50:00] Speaker 3: Do y'all be feeling crazy when you, like, know you
[50:02] Speaker 3: didn't get fouled, but you carry on on the floor
[50:04] Speaker 3: like you did?
[50:04] Speaker 2: All the time. All the time.
[50:05] Speaker 3: That shit look bad.
[50:06] Speaker 1: You feel crazy or you got one?
[50:07] Speaker 2: No, I just. When you, what, when you trick him?
[50:10] Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll come back.
[50:11] Speaker 2: No, when you don't get hit. When you don't get hit.
[50:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, but then you get the bat.
[50:14] Speaker 1: No, you don't get nothing. You don't get nothing.
[50:15] Speaker 2: And they go the other way.
[50:16] Speaker 3: It's all the ground carrying on, and then they replay
[50:18] Speaker 3: in slow motion.
[50:19] Speaker 1: I call it the LeBron James special.
[50:21] Speaker 2: You look crazy.
[50:23] Speaker 3: You do all that, they replay. You know you didn't
[50:26] Speaker 3: get hit. You know replay exists. Why are you doing
[50:28] Speaker 3: all that on the floor?
[50:29] Speaker 1: You got to get your ass over him.
[50:30] Speaker 2: Because it didn't happen. It didn't happen before.
[50:33] Speaker 1: It was a cherry pick rule. Fall down and shit.
[50:35] Speaker 1: We came out of the game for that shit. We
[50:37] Speaker 1: had to get up, get back on these. We come
[50:39] Speaker 1: out of the game for shit like that.
[50:42] Speaker 5: We didn't learn that, dog. That man I just played
[50:46] Speaker 5: for didn't play that shit. If you went down, if
[50:51] Speaker 5: you did this.
[50:51] Speaker 2: Shit, Your eye better be in your hand. Your eye
[50:55] Speaker 2: better be in there, nigga. I swear it better be
[50:58] Speaker 2: in there. Get me out. Get me out.
[51:01] Speaker 4: If it ain't in there, you better keep your.
[51:04] Speaker 2: Ass out there. I'm telling you, man. What? Lou, he
[51:06] Speaker 2: would call timeout, man.
[51:08] Speaker 1: You want to play for Bob Huggins.
[51:10] Speaker 2: You want to play for him. This is the coach
[51:12] Speaker 2: you want to play for. You would burn one. Right?
[51:14] Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
[51:15] Speaker 1: I'm looking at my two points. I'm already down.
[51:17] Speaker 2: I'm still down here faking it. Just go on in. No.
[51:20] Speaker 2: I did that one time. You're never going to look
[51:24] Speaker 2: down on any of that business no more. You will
[51:26] Speaker 2: never see the game again. He would need to put
[51:29] Speaker 2: you in there, look down at you and be like,
[51:32] Speaker 2: ball boy. I've seen that look before. It's little shit
[51:36] Speaker 2: like two dogs.
[51:39] Speaker 5: The ball going out of bounds underneath our basket. or
[51:42] Speaker 5: at their best, whatever, and you.
[51:44] Speaker 1: Save that motherfucker dog and other teams score?
[51:46] Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
[51:47] Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
[51:48] Speaker 3: That's like a basketball sin.
[51:52] Speaker 1: Since we had a rule, we'd throw it to the
[51:53] Speaker 1: nearest corner.
[51:54] Speaker 2: Yeah. Right? Ball going out of bounds. We all knew.
[51:56] Speaker 3: Just watch us, though.
[51:57] Speaker 2: We were robots. No.
[52:00] Speaker 5: That ball going out of bounds, somebody throw it to you,
[52:02] Speaker 5: all four of us.
[52:04] Speaker 2: We running each other over to get over there. The bigs,
[52:07] Speaker 2: the ball shot, we getting opposite. We were so programmed
[52:10] Speaker 2: to get opposite. The ball shot from this.
[52:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, get opposite.
[52:13] Speaker 2: The bigs, we bowing each other trying to get over there.
[52:16] Speaker 2: We don't even know that shit no more. Get opposite.
[52:19] Speaker 2: I got so a lot of my highlights of college
[52:21] Speaker 2: and tip dunks one-hand tip dunks. I'm not opposite opposite

[52:27] Speaker 5: Oh hitting you I'm making room ball come over tip

[52:34] Speaker 5: on defense.
[52:34] Speaker 3: And Oh, yeah, going for a board.
[52:37] Speaker 1: Man, my eye, my machine.
[52:40] Speaker 5: You better be missing teeth. Something better be bleeding, hanging
[52:43] Speaker 5: off out, something.
[52:45] Speaker 4: That's where we come from, though. We come from that shit,
[52:47] Speaker 4: so it's different watching this shit.

[54:03] Speaker 3: use it, would it, like.
[54:04] Speaker 2: Not work?

[54:09] Speaker 5: Well, certain products they have, you don't have to put
[54:12] Speaker 5: it on, so you don't... Man.
[54:14] Speaker 1: It's deodorant.
[54:14] Speaker 2: Mando. It's not that deodorant. It's Mando.
[54:18] Speaker 5: They got certain things that I don't think if you do,
[54:22] Speaker 5: then we.

[54:24] Speaker 1: If you use some of them products, then we need
[54:26] Speaker 1: to talk. All right, but let's keep this thing moving.
[54:30] Speaker 2: There's a few. There's a few that you can, but
[54:32] Speaker 2: there's a few that.
[54:32] Speaker 3: Other stuff, you don't go out of your way to
[54:35] Speaker 3: be like, outside of Lexi, so I was just wondering.

[55:32] Speaker 1: So after dropping their game against the Warriors Thursday, Lakers
[55:35] Speaker 1: responded with a win over the shorthanded Pelicans Friday. And
[55:38] Speaker 1: in their first of two straight games against the Thunder
[55:40] Speaker 1: in OKC Sunday, Lakers made a statement going head up
[55:44] Speaker 1: with the league's top rated defense and likely MVP getting
[55:47] Speaker 1: the wire to wire win. Let's take a look at
[55:49] Speaker 1: some highlights, please.
[55:51] Speaker 6: Lakers long range game was in full effect as they
[55:53] Speaker 6: tied a franchise record by hitting a season high 22 threes.
[55:56] Speaker 6: going 55% from behind the arc, which is also a
[55:58] Speaker 6: season high. Lakers also shot 55% from the field in
[56:02] Speaker 6: the game. Luka led the show with 30.7 rebounds and
[56:05] Speaker 6: 6 assists, going 11 for 20 from the field, 5
[56:07] Speaker 6: for 11 from deep, scoring 22 of those 30 in
[56:11] Speaker 6: the first half as the Lakers led by as much
[56:13] Speaker 6: as 29 in the second quarter. It was Luka's second
[56:16] Speaker 6: straight 30-point game. He's had 13 30-point games in his
[56:19] Speaker 6: 25 games with the Lakers. Austin Reeves had 20 points.
[56:23] Speaker 6: LeBron added 19 and 7 dimes. Dorian Finney-Smith, known affectionately
[56:27] Speaker 6: in the arena as Black and Miles, and Gabe Shemar
[56:29] Speaker 6: Moore-Vincent combined for 26 points, going to combine 8 for
[56:32] Speaker 6: 12 from 3. Only three Thunder players scored in double figures,
[56:35] Speaker 6: led by SGA's 26 points and 9 dimes. Jalen Williams
[56:39] Speaker 6: had 16 and 6 boards on 4-14 shooting. Chet Holmgren
[56:42] Speaker 6: had 10 points. So Lakers tied the season series with
[56:45] Speaker 6: the Thunder. Rubber match coming Tuesday. Can you watch these highlights?
[56:51] Speaker 6: We're gonna convert you. This is conversion right here. This
[56:54] Speaker 6: is indoctrination. Man, them dudes, listen, I heard Shay had

[57:19] Speaker 5: Young dudes, listen, when they slept in, they're like, it's
[57:21] Speaker 5: just another game, man. It was way more important to
[57:26] Speaker 5: y'all than it was to them.
[57:28] Speaker 2: Well, that's unfortunate, K. Thunder trying to win a championship.
[57:31] Speaker 2: Every game should be important.
[57:31] Speaker 1: Did you just say on this couch right here, you
[57:34] Speaker 1: play like every game, every game matters? Listen, the season
[57:37] Speaker 1: is over in seven days, six days for them, right?

[58:09] Speaker 3: I hope that ain't the king.
[58:11] Speaker 2: Early game Sunday. Lakers coming to town.
[58:14] Speaker 1: They was at Dave and Buster's all night.
[58:16] Speaker 2: Dave and Buster's. The whole team. Dave and Buster's. They
[58:22] Speaker 2: were at Hooters. They were bar hopping. They went to Hooters.
[58:26] Speaker 2: All kinds of shit. With the Sooners down there, Oklahoma Sooners.
[58:29] Speaker 2: They were just barred. They were playing. They was at
[58:32] Speaker 2: the casino on the roof. Man, they were doing all.
[58:34] Speaker 1: Kinds of shit.
[58:34] Speaker 2: They went to David Buster's, then they got their asses busted.
[58:37] Speaker 3: I have to look at their schedule to end the season. Yeah,
[58:39] Speaker 3: they're chilling.
[58:39] Speaker 2: It's nasty. It's chilling, right? It's chilling, chilling. Yeah.
[58:41] Speaker 1: Actually, they got five words.
[58:43] Speaker 3: Lakers, Phoenix, Utah, New Orleans.
[58:45] Speaker 1: They chilling, bro. They put y'all in that category with them.
[58:48] Speaker 2: They chilling. They're chilling. They put y'all in that category
[58:51] Speaker 2: with them. After the Lakers, why not send a statement,
[58:53] Speaker 2: then chill?
[58:54] Speaker 3: They chilling.
[58:55] Speaker 2: Chilling, chilling. Can't nobody catch us.
[59:00] Speaker 1: I've been there, right?
[59:01] Speaker 3: They're not going to risk anything playing I've been there.
[59:04] Speaker 5: We're number one. We already got our spots secured last week.
[59:08] Speaker 5: We went down to Miami for a few days early.
[59:11] Speaker 5: Shit like that. Y'all don't know anything about that, being
[59:13] Speaker 5: able to rest.
[59:15] Speaker 1: Y'all got that big of a lead. Playing starts, I believe,
[59:18] Speaker 1: a week from Tuesday.
[59:19] Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. Is Luka fat?
[59:22] Speaker 3: What?
[59:23] Speaker 2: P-H-A-T. Pretty high-intensity. No, no, no. I'm just asking.
[59:33] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[59:35] Speaker 1: I'm asking from the highlight. Do you see this thing?
[59:39] Speaker 2: It's thick.
[59:40] Speaker 1: It's a difference. I can't refer to a man.
[59:44] Speaker 2: It's thick. With two Cs. Fat and thick. I don't
[59:49] Speaker 2: know if you can. If you can't call him fat,
[59:51] Speaker 2: you can call him thick. You refer to a man
[59:53] Speaker 2: as thick. I don't know about that. I don't know
[59:55] Speaker 2: about it. I don't know.
[59:56] Speaker 1: About that one, Joe.
[59:57] Speaker 2: What do you think, Joe? I just think we're fat, man.
[59:59] Speaker 2: Austin Reed. Chunky.
[1:00:01] Speaker 1: And from game to game, though.
[1:00:03] Speaker 2: You look like thick.
[1:00:04] Speaker 3: Austin Reed looks solid.
[1:00:06] Speaker 4: Austin kind of looks better than Luka right now.
[1:00:11] Speaker 3: They both look. Like, his body, how he looks?
[1:00:14] Speaker 2: Just the game, the speed, the way he playing. Luka, like,
[1:00:17] Speaker 2: he's just chilling.
[1:00:19] Speaker 1: He look like he's chilling.
[1:00:21] Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's just chilling. But Austin
[1:00:24] Speaker 4: look like he's wiggling out there.
[1:00:26] Speaker 2: He trying to.
[1:00:27] Speaker 3: He's also what? How old is Austin Reeves? What, 26?
[1:00:30] Speaker 2: 26.
[1:00:30] Speaker 1: He averaging about 20. Yeah, number one, third option in
[1:00:35] Speaker 1: the league.
[1:00:36] Speaker 3: Oh, they're the same age.
[1:00:38] Speaker 4: If his usage rates go up, He turned into our
[1:00:42] Speaker 4: NBA guy.
[1:00:42] Speaker 3: Austin Reeves? Yeah, he's been very impressive.
[1:00:45] Speaker 1: Crazy how that combo has shifted this season.
[1:00:47] Speaker 2: Yeah. Apathe Limon?
[1:00:48] Speaker 4: Yeah, I was against that 50 that he got, but
[1:00:50] Speaker 4: now I feel like they.
[1:00:52] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, 45-77.
[1:00:52] Speaker 3: I remember when I said that he wasn't better than
[1:00:54] Speaker 3: Bradley Beal.
[1:00:55] Speaker 1: Now we're looking at him like he didn't impress.
[1:00:57] Speaker 2: You said that?
[1:00:59] Speaker 3: You said it was the best third option right now.
[1:01:01] Speaker 3: And I said, I'm still going Bradley Beal. Why would
[1:01:03] Speaker 3: you say that? At the time, it was a while ago.
[1:01:07] Speaker 2: It was like two months ago.
[1:01:09] Speaker 1: When the trade went down?
[1:01:10] Speaker 3: No, the season already started.
[1:01:11] Speaker 2: Oh, which season?
[1:01:12] Speaker 1: Last season?
[1:01:13] Speaker 3: This season.
[1:01:14] Speaker 2: Oh.
[1:01:15] Speaker 3: At the time, the argument made sense.
[1:01:17] Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense anymore.
[1:01:19] Speaker 1: Because it was 18.
[1:01:19] Speaker 2: Because it was 18. We was having the whole conversation.
[1:01:22] Speaker 2: At the time, it made sense.
[1:01:24] Speaker 3: Now, it don't make sense.
[1:01:25] Speaker 2: There were some Austin Reeves deniers on the spot for
[1:01:27] Speaker 2: that one.
[1:01:28] Speaker 1: Like, y'all didn't see the Lemon Daddy billboards all through LA.
[1:01:31] Speaker 3: Because he's in a situation he's never been in before.
[1:01:33] Speaker 3: Austin Reeves has consistently been a third option. Bradley went
[1:01:37] Speaker 3: from one option to third.
[1:01:38] Speaker 1: So why is he disrespected when you tell the truth
[1:01:40] Speaker 1: what you see?
[1:01:40] Speaker 2: Why is he disrespected?
[1:01:41] Speaker 3: Well, because some people are... I don't want to.
[1:01:43] Speaker 2: Just respect nobody. I don't want to disrespect nobody.
[1:01:46] Speaker 1: You cussed last week, Lexi. You cussed last week. Now
[1:01:51] Speaker 1: you don't want to hurt no feelings.
[1:01:52] Speaker 2: As long as you say with your eyes, you a hooper, right?
[1:01:56] Speaker 1: You watch film.
[1:01:56] Speaker 3: Yeah, but at the time, they were talking crazy about
[1:01:59] Speaker 3: Bradley Beal and I didn't.
[1:02:00] Speaker 1: Who's telling the truth?
[1:02:01] Speaker 2: There was Austin Reeves deniers on this couch.
[1:02:03] Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about Phoenix in general. Like, that
[1:02:06] Speaker 3: whole team is a mess. But you bring Bradley Beal
[1:02:08] Speaker 3: over for what he did in D.C. and then you
[1:02:10] Speaker 3: ask him to do something completely different. Then you put
[1:02:12] Speaker 3: him on the bench. Then it's like, okay.
[1:02:14] Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't ask you to do nothing different.
[1:02:17] Speaker 3: Be a third option.
[1:02:17] Speaker 1: No, we didn't ask you to be no third option either.
[1:02:19] Speaker 1: You could have set your ass in D.C.
[1:02:21] Speaker 2: You had a no trade goal. No trade.
[1:02:23] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:02:23] Speaker 2: Everybody trying to hit that shit. Facts.
[1:02:29] Speaker 3: I'm just saying, at the time... It was like an either-or.
[1:02:33] Speaker 2: But now Austin Reeves got him.
[1:02:35] Speaker 6: Austin Reeves may get a no-trade clause in his next
[1:02:37] Speaker 6: contract if he keeps playing at this level. He should
[1:02:40] Speaker 6: ask Wood just to see what they say. Just to
[1:02:42] Speaker 6: see what they say.
[1:02:43] Speaker 2: Bro, I got one shit.
[1:02:45] Speaker 6: But, Gil, looking at it, I know you were watching
[1:02:46] Speaker 6: that game on Playback. Shout-out to Playback.tv slash Gilbert Arena.
[1:02:50] Speaker 6: Why are you looking at me like that?
[1:02:53] Speaker 2: I was just waiting for you to finish what you said.
[1:02:54] Speaker 1: But you gave me a look as if.
[1:02:56] Speaker 2: Oh, no. Okay. We here.
[1:02:58] Speaker 6: How impressive was this win for the Lakers over the
[1:03:00] Speaker 6: best team in the league?
[1:03:02] Speaker 3: Y'all know y'all ask us that every time they win
[1:03:04] Speaker 3: a game.
[1:03:04] Speaker 1: Over the best team in the league?
[1:03:06] Speaker 3: No, every time they win.
[1:03:08] Speaker 2: What does this mean?
[1:03:08] Speaker 3: How impressive is.
[1:03:09] Speaker 1: This win for the Lakers?
[1:03:10] Speaker 2: Every fucking time. Way to call him out on that.
[1:03:14] Speaker 1: Because no other team gets that. No other team gets that.
[1:03:18] Speaker 2: Only the Lakers get that.
[1:03:20] Speaker 3: I don't know what to say anymore.
[1:03:22] Speaker 2: The Rockets got love. Thank you.
[1:03:25] Speaker 3: Every time they win, y'all come in here. How impressive
[1:03:27] Speaker 3: was it?
[1:03:27] Speaker 1: Hold on. How impressive was it?
[1:03:29] Speaker 2: What? What? They're in third place.
[1:03:31] Speaker 1: They should be winning. 26-point blowout win over the Leafs.
[1:03:34] Speaker 1: Operated defense locked in.
[1:03:35] Speaker 3: That we now see that.
[1:03:36] Speaker 1: They all drank heels before the game. Damn, Lex. Now
[1:03:39] Speaker 1: you see the truth, right?
[1:03:40] Speaker 2: Damn, Lex. Now you see the truth, right?
[1:03:42] Speaker 3: All you see about lifting the veil.
[1:03:45] Speaker 2: What do you mean?
[1:03:45] Speaker 3: Outfits.
[1:03:46] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:03:47] Speaker 2: What?
[1:03:47] Speaker 1: Just this whole thing? It was just in the closet.
[1:03:49] Speaker 2: I mean, what happened?
[1:03:52] Speaker 3: No, I just was like, how impressive was this game?
[1:03:55] Speaker 2: I just noticed when we lose, when we lose the game,
[1:04:00] Speaker 2: nobody talks about it. No, no, no, we suck and
[1:04:03] Speaker 2: we're not going to get in the first round.
[1:04:05] Speaker 1: And all of this.
[1:04:05] Speaker 3: We can't even say that if we wanted to because
[1:04:07] Speaker 3: y'all don't ask us.
[1:04:08] Speaker 2: No, no.
[1:04:09] Speaker 1: I'm going to say it.
[1:04:11] Speaker 2: You just go across. When the Lakers lose to the
[1:04:13] Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors, right, it was, oh, they suck, they
[1:04:16] Speaker 2: need to go home, they need to retire, this and that.
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: And soon as we win, it's like, oh, my God,
[1:04:22] Speaker 2: this is just regular season. Everybody done win part and
[1:04:24] Speaker 2: everybody done did this. They were at Dave and Buster's.
[1:04:27] Speaker 2: Then why the fuck they on the court? If they
[1:04:29] Speaker 2: was so sleepy, they should have stayed home and watched

[1:07:24] Speaker 2: No, not really. It's been, yeah.
[1:07:25] Speaker 1: It's been a little rough. It's been a little rough
[1:07:28] Speaker 1: for you.
[1:07:28] Speaker 2: Burby, Burby Joker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mine's increased.
[1:07:31] Speaker 3: Mine's increased a little bit since I've been removed from
[1:07:34] Speaker 3: the team.
[1:07:34] Speaker 2: Yeah, that was unfortunate circumstances. You know, somebody decided he
[1:07:37] Speaker 2: wanted to turn shit on.
[1:07:38] Speaker 1: You know what?
[1:07:39] Speaker 2: Now I'm mad about that again. What? Why are you
[1:07:44] Speaker 2: wearing red and black? I just got a trigger.
[1:07:47] Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about the Bulls?
[1:07:48] Speaker 2: Yes. Oh.
[1:07:49] Speaker 1: It's just another trigger. I only got 77 on.
[1:07:54] Speaker 2: See? That seems a little intentional. Seattle Storm, Lexi, a
[1:07:59] Speaker 2: little bit different than L.A. Sparks, Lexi.
[1:08:00] Speaker 1: I'm going to be real, okay?
[1:08:02] Speaker 2: L.A.
[1:08:02] Speaker 6: Sparks, Lexi, would have been, let's go, Lakers. How impressive
[1:08:05] Speaker 6: was that win? But now, we can't say it's impressive to.
[1:08:09] Speaker 1: Beat the top-ranked defense and number one team in Adam
[1:08:12] Speaker 1: Silver's National Basketball Association?
[1:08:15] Speaker 2: The MVP? It's going to be hard.
[1:08:17] Speaker 1: 26 points?
[1:08:19] Speaker 2: If our guys are hitting shots, if Gabe, If Gabe
[1:08:22] Speaker 2: is hitting shots and if Black and Mild is hitting shots.
[1:08:26] Speaker 3: Stop calling him that. Stop calling him that.
[1:08:29] Speaker 2: Well, that's a great ass thing. He should get in
[1:08:30] Speaker 2: a door. They should be paying a motherfucking million dollars.
[1:08:32] Speaker 1: You know what I mean? If I'm him, I'm pulling
[1:08:35] Speaker 1: up the Black and Milds.
[1:08:36] Speaker 2: But look, if Black and Mild and Gabe is hitting shots,
[1:08:39] Speaker 2: they hitting eight threes, it's going to be hard. Because
[1:08:43] Speaker 2: Luka's finding these motherfuckers, man, out of thin air. I
[1:08:45] Speaker 2: don't know where he's looking at, but.
[1:08:48] Speaker 3: That man gifted, man.
[1:08:50] Speaker 5: So this is like the third game in order for,
[1:08:53] Speaker 5: I didn't heard you combine them two.
[1:08:54] Speaker 1: So like, We're going to talk about Black and Miles
[1:08:57] Speaker 1: and Shemar Moore.
[1:08:58] Speaker 2: Yeah, but you do it all the time. Bench production.
[1:09:01] Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's the only two people.
[1:09:03] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only two we need.
[1:09:08] Speaker 1: No, you need more.
[1:09:10] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[1:09:13] Speaker 1: We only need those two.
[1:09:14] Speaker 2: Those two are very important for us. Braun's going to
[1:09:17] Speaker 2: be Braun. Braun is going to do what Braun does. A.R.
[1:09:20] Speaker 1: Is going to do what A.R.
[1:09:21] Speaker 2: Does. For Luka himself... The floor stays spread if Gabe
[1:09:26] Speaker 2: and what's-her-name are hitting shots. If you look at when
[1:09:28] Speaker 2: we lost to Golden State, who had a bad game?
[1:09:31] Speaker 2: They were combining one for Tim. What's that lineup when
[1:09:34] Speaker 2: them two are in?
[1:09:35] Speaker 3: They're not in together.
[1:09:39] Speaker 1: That's disgusting. You got Rui, Bron, They have to be
[1:09:42] Speaker 1: hitting threes or they cannot.
[1:09:44] Speaker 2: Be out there.
[1:09:45] Speaker 1: That's four.
[1:09:45] Speaker 2: We're kind of like small, but when Luka's like Posting
[1:09:49] Speaker 2: up and doing all that shit. Jackson in there. Is
[1:09:50] Speaker 2: Jackson in the game?
[1:09:52] Speaker 3: Jackson only played 32 minutes last night.
[1:09:54] Speaker 2: Who was the center? Small with big hearts. So, you
[1:09:57] Speaker 2: know how it's going. Finney.
[1:09:58] Speaker 1: Finney's playing. So, you know how it's going.
[1:10:01] Speaker 2: What?
[1:10:01] Speaker 1: In the playoff series.
[1:10:03] Speaker 2: Right?
[1:10:05] Speaker 3: They're going to be understudied.
[1:10:05] Speaker 2: They're going to put the ball on the floor.
[1:10:07] Speaker 5: It's going to be, listen, close out to their body.
[1:10:09] Speaker 5: Make them put the ball on the floor. It's going
[1:10:10] Speaker 5: to be game planning, dog.
[1:10:11] Speaker 2: You know. We're not doubling Luke in the post. We're
[1:10:14] Speaker 2: not doubling Luke in the post. You're going to have to. No,
[1:10:17] Speaker 2: we're going to play big on him. As much as
[1:10:19] Speaker 2: we can.
[1:10:20] Speaker 5: We're not doubling him in the post and giving him
[1:10:22] Speaker 5: opportunities for him to find them guys. But we can't
[1:10:24] Speaker 5: find them. He's going to make some of them pass
[1:10:26] Speaker 5: in transition. We're going to give those we understand. But
[1:10:30] Speaker 5: we're not doubling him in the post. We're going to
[1:10:31] Speaker 5: make him play one-on-one basketball. Make every shot tough. Make
[1:10:35] Speaker 5: every shot tough. I'm going to just be honest. He
[1:10:39] Speaker 5: is the guard version of Jokic.
[1:10:41] Speaker 2: Sure.
[1:10:42] Speaker 1: And that's the problem.
[1:10:43] Speaker 2: You don't want to... double Jokic, but then he is
[1:10:49] Speaker 2: a offensive player, right? So he's going to bust your ass.
[1:10:53] Speaker 3: 65.
[1:10:54] Speaker 2: One-on-one. If you decide to double him, he's a willing passer,
[1:10:58] Speaker 2: which makes it actually harder. So if you don't double Luka,
[1:11:01] Speaker 2: Luka's going to fuck you up. No, no, no.
[1:11:03] Speaker 1: But I think Nikola's a better passer. Nikola is.
[1:11:06] Speaker 4: Luka's not going to beat you by herself. This is
[1:11:10] Speaker 4: the tactic that you have to use against Luka.
[1:11:12] Speaker 1: You take bad shots.
[1:11:13] Speaker 4: You take bad shots, and it's taken away from the
[1:11:15] Speaker 4: team momentum for them to collect points on the opposite
[1:11:18] Speaker 4: side of him. So he's going to take majority of
[1:11:21] Speaker 4: the possessions, the time, all that shit, just to get, what, 40?
[1:11:25] Speaker 1: Just to get 40?
[1:11:26] Speaker 2: That ain't enough. You need 80.
[1:11:28] Speaker 1: Where's the other 40 coming from? To be honest, they're
[1:11:31] Speaker 1: going to give you 26.
[1:11:32] Speaker 2: And how much we average a game, though, as a team?
[1:11:35] Speaker 2: We average 100. So you're giving me 40.
[1:11:37] Speaker 1: The Knicks is only averaging 100? No, I'm saying the Lakers. Oh, no,
[1:11:40] Speaker 1: you said we. But we're speaking on.
[1:11:43] Speaker 2: We're just, you know, just a scenario. You came back?
[1:11:46] Speaker 2: You came back home? I'm just saying. I came back home.
[1:11:50] Speaker 2: Y'all don't got enough points. Current team. You don't got
[1:11:53] Speaker 2: enough points.
[1:11:54] Speaker 1: Lakers averaging 113 points per game this season.
[1:11:56] Speaker 2: Dang. Neither here nor there. We're going to let Luka
[1:11:58] Speaker 2: do whatever he wants one-on-one. You ain't got it. Y'all
[1:12:02] Speaker 2: ain't got enough.
[1:12:02] Speaker 1: Y'all won't average 113 in the playoffs.
[1:12:04] Speaker 2: No way. No way. Not if we take it. We
[1:12:08] Speaker 2: cutting one of them waters. 115.
[1:12:09] Speaker 1: We got to cut one of these waters.
[1:12:12] Speaker 2: Because three of them play. The best thing about us,
[1:12:14] Speaker 2: three of them play ISO basketball. Yep. So three of
[1:12:17] Speaker 2: them can just take over themselves. Two of them. Two
[1:12:22] Speaker 2: of them can take over. Who? No, Austin can't take over.
[1:12:26] Speaker 4: Bron not going to take over. No, but he's still
[1:12:29] Speaker 4: going to pitch. Yeah, he'll facilitate.
[1:12:31] Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if he decides to drive, you're going
[1:12:32] Speaker 2: to take care of it. You don't want him playing
[1:12:34] Speaker 2: bully basketball. Yeah, you're right. You're right.
[1:12:37] Speaker 4: But that's if the matchups are different, too.
[1:12:39] Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think it's a different ballgame and the
[1:12:43] Speaker 5: playoffs is going to be schemed. They're going to be
[1:12:44] Speaker 5: looking at those stats that you keep throwing out there.
[1:12:48] Speaker 2: No, I'm saying when... when Black and.
[1:12:50] Speaker 5: Mal and Vincent plays well, they gonna put them stats
[1:12:54] Speaker 5: out there. Listen, we need these guys shoot this in
[1:12:57] Speaker 5: three when these guys don't. So it's gonna be points,
[1:12:59] Speaker 5: and I'm not saying that they can't get it done,
[1:13:01] Speaker 5: but it's gonna be points of emphasis On the scouting
[1:13:04] Speaker 5: report when it comes to the playoff series, there's going
[1:13:06] Speaker 5: to be points of emphasis.
[1:13:07] Speaker 2: These two guys can't get off.
[1:13:09] Speaker 1: They only took threes.
[1:13:10] Speaker 2: We're going to make the ball fine. Both of them
[1:13:12] Speaker 2: only took threes. Their job is to take threes.
[1:13:14] Speaker 3: Both of them. They only took threes.
[1:13:15] Speaker 2: Their job is just wide open. They're wide open, though.
[1:13:18] Speaker 2: Put the ball on the floor.
[1:13:19] Speaker 1: We're going to close out their bodies.
[1:13:20] Speaker 2: Close out their bodies.
[1:13:21] Speaker 1: Make them put the ball on the floor.
[1:13:22] Speaker 5: Make them playmakers is what the intentions would be if I'm.
[1:13:26] Speaker 1: Run them off the line. Run them off the line.
[1:13:28] Speaker 5: Yeah, but these, I don't know who's going to be
[1:13:30] Speaker 5: game planning, so that's just the way I would do it.
[1:13:33] Speaker 5: So we talk about Luka and Joker. Talk about Luka
[1:13:35] Speaker 5: and Joker, their ability to pass the ball. Let's take
[1:13:37] Speaker 5: a look at that pass that Luka had. I know
[1:13:39] Speaker 5: you were going crazy after you saw it. We have
[1:13:41] Speaker 5: isolated that video clip. Let's just take a look.
[1:13:46] Speaker 3: Like what?
[1:13:47] Speaker 1: Shamar Moore coming through the door. One more time.
[1:13:51] Speaker 2: Harker's down. Finney with the pass. Oof.
[1:13:54] Speaker 1: That's teamwork. That's teamwork. Makes the dream work. That was
[1:13:58] Speaker 1: the plate.
[1:14:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it was a play. I don't know.
[1:14:02] Speaker 1: It looks like it was a play.
[1:14:03] Speaker 2: Why was he just stuck to the screen? No, that's
[1:14:05] Speaker 2: what I said.
[1:14:05] Speaker 1: The screen was like.
[1:14:07] Speaker 2: What was that? Play that again. Play that again. Can
[1:14:09] Speaker 2: we watch that one more time? What is that? Please, Paolo,
[1:14:12] Speaker 2: stop it from the beginning. Stop. No, no, no. Go back,
[1:14:14] Speaker 2: go back, go back. What is he doing? What is
[1:14:18] Speaker 2: he doing? Play this one. Play this one, then show
[1:14:20] Speaker 2: the replay, if you could, Paolo, please, in slow motion.
[1:14:22] Speaker 3: Who's guarding who?
[1:14:23] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a play.
[1:14:24] Speaker 2: This is weird. That's a play, right? Is that a
[1:14:26] Speaker 2: play in the zone? No, no. See, you can make
[1:14:29] Speaker 2: that pass right now.
[1:14:30] Speaker 1: Yeah, he could.
[1:14:31] Speaker 2: But why is.
[1:14:32] Speaker 1: Shea's guarding the ball.
[1:14:34] Speaker 2: Somebody is not guarding anybody. Harkestine is like, I don't
[1:14:37] Speaker 2: know what he's doing, but why is Gabe mentioned?
[1:14:39] Speaker 3: Was this in transition?
[1:14:40] Speaker 1: Huh?
[1:14:41] Speaker 3: Was this in transition?
[1:14:41] Speaker 1: Might be out of a time.
[1:14:42] Speaker 2: Just pick and roll.
[1:14:43] Speaker 1: It looked like an out of time out. But why is.
[1:14:45] Speaker 2: Yeah. And Feeney, he literally screened him.
[1:14:48] Speaker 3: Screening him, yeah. That was a play for sure.
[1:14:50] Speaker 2: It had to be. Yeah.
[1:14:51] Speaker 1: Trust his teammates.
[1:14:52] Speaker 2: It was basically a screen.
[1:14:54] Speaker 3: When he started driving, he probably saw him.
[1:14:56] Speaker 2: I would have said it was a zone, but it's not.
[1:14:58] Speaker 2: But he already screened him. You can see him right here.
[1:14:59] Speaker 2: He screened his man.
[1:15:01] Speaker 1: Yeah, he wanted to make it sexy. So Feeney already
[1:15:02] Speaker 1: screened him.
[1:15:03] Speaker 2: But you can see that it feels like it was
[1:15:05] Speaker 2: a play.
[1:15:05] Speaker 1: He wanted to make it sexy.
[1:15:06] Speaker 2: That's right. He could have passed it right here.
[1:15:07] Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was like, oh, I see him.
[1:15:08] Speaker 1: Could have hit him with, yeah, he could have passed it.
[1:15:10] Speaker 3: He wanted to make it sexy.
[1:15:11] Speaker 1: Don't make it look sexy.
[1:15:12] Speaker 2: Boop.
[1:15:13] Speaker 1: So, he made, like, Luka has the ability to make
[1:15:16] Speaker 1: you react.
[1:15:18] Speaker 2: Like, you don't know if he's passing or shooting.
[1:15:20] Speaker 3: After he crossed the free throw line, he knew that
[1:15:21] Speaker 3: he was about to make that pass.
[1:15:23] Speaker 2: Court vision. Yeah.
[1:15:25] Speaker 6: So, Luka averaging 28, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 44, 36,
[1:15:29] Speaker 6: 79 shooting splits. Talk about the Lakers bench being a
[1:15:32] Speaker 6: cause for concern throughout the season. But like we talked about,
[1:15:35] Speaker 6: Dorian Finney-Smith, Gabe Vincent have given reason for optimism. Obviously,
[1:15:39] Speaker 6: playoffs is going to be different, Kenny, like you said.
[1:15:41] Speaker 6: But Lakers' last three wins, Black and Miles and Shamar
[1:15:44] Speaker 6: Moore shot a combined 27 for 49 from three. But
[1:15:48] Speaker 6: in the loss to the Warriors on Thursday, which we
[1:15:50] Speaker 6: will acknowledge as well, Warriors came in, did what they
[1:15:53] Speaker 6: needed to do.
[1:15:53] Speaker 1: They were one for 10. The games y'all need to
[1:15:56] Speaker 1: worry about.
[1:15:57] Speaker 6: So how important will Black and Miles and Gabe, Shamar Moore,
[1:15:59] Speaker 6: Vincent be to the Lakers' postseason success?
[1:16:02] Speaker 2: It's very important.
[1:16:02] Speaker 6: Feels like they're the X-Factors. You know Reeves, LeBron, and
[1:16:05] Speaker 6: Luka are going to give you what they're going to
[1:16:06] Speaker 6: give you.
[1:16:07] Speaker 2: Rui, do Rui.
[1:16:08] Speaker 1: Rui got to get back right.
[1:16:10] Speaker 2: But, you know, if those two guys are hitting shots,
[1:16:12] Speaker 2: it's really hard to just hone in on the defensive side.
[1:16:18] Speaker 2: Between the two of them, as long as they can
[1:16:20] Speaker 2: make about five to seven threes combined.
[1:16:23] Speaker 1: They're good.
[1:16:24] Speaker 5: Y'all banking on that every game, though. So that's the thing.
[1:16:27] Speaker 5: Y'all need that. For everyone to play one-on-one. Y'all need
[1:16:32] Speaker 5: them to make shots, right? In order to have a
[1:16:34] Speaker 5: chance in these games that we speak of.
[1:16:35] Speaker 2: No, no, not a chance. Just a blowout.
[1:16:38] Speaker 1: But when they don't, y'all lose. When they go one
[1:16:40] Speaker 1: for ten, y'all lose.
[1:16:41] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. That's what people need. They need them to
[1:16:43] Speaker 2: go one for ten for us to lose. Yeah, y'all
[1:16:45] Speaker 2: need that. But y'all need them to shoot the ball.
[1:16:47] Speaker 2: To win by 20.
[1:16:48] Speaker 1: No, to win, period. By 20.
[1:16:49] Speaker 2: 26.
[1:16:49] Speaker 1: To win, period.
[1:16:51] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[1:16:51] Speaker 1: If they shoot, we win by 20.
[1:16:52] Speaker 2: But our three guys are averaging 90 points.
[1:16:57] Speaker 1: That's the only blowout y'all had. That ain't enough.
[1:16:59] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[1:16:59] Speaker 1: We blew out Denver. We beat them the fuck up.
[1:17:01] Speaker 2: So y'all three guys averaging 90 and y'all only average 115?
[1:17:04] Speaker 1: Yeah. That's crazy. Yo, don't say that out loud again, bro.
[1:17:09] Speaker 1: That's weird. Say it again. I'm mad for it.
[1:17:11] Speaker 2: Brownie only had three in the game.
[1:17:13] Speaker 1: I'm not mad for it.
[1:17:14] Speaker 2: 113 and three guys, 19? 113.
[1:17:14] Speaker 1: Since Luke had been there, they averaged 115.
[1:17:17] Speaker 2: No way you win anything. But overall, they averaged 113.
[1:17:21] Speaker 2: You mean Warriors?
[1:17:22] Speaker 5: Y'all averaging 90 between three and that.
[1:17:25] Speaker 2: Yeah, we could take one out. It's a wrap.
[1:17:29] Speaker 1: Nasty work.
[1:17:31] Speaker 2: That's a nice jacket, girl.
[1:17:33] Speaker 1: I know. I got some old school ones, too.
[1:17:36] Speaker 2: He can get his own shot. Look at these.
[1:17:40] Speaker 1: They dropped only in L.A.
[1:17:42] Speaker 2: I love L.A.
[1:17:43] Speaker 1: I was with the Wizards. With the Wizards. You ever
[1:17:46] Speaker 1: seen the.
[1:17:47] Speaker 2: Movie The Meg? With the shark? The Meg, you seen it?
[1:17:53] Speaker 1: Megalodon.
[1:17:54] Speaker 2: Megalodon.
[1:17:55] Speaker 1: We're part two.
[1:17:56] Speaker 2: Part two. Megalodon two. We're on part two now.
[1:18:01] Speaker 1: Oh, you didn't see part two? Yeah, there's a part two. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
[1:18:04] Speaker 1: I've seen a part two. There's more than one. There's
[1:18:07] Speaker 1: more than one.
[1:18:08] Speaker 2: They thought they had the real Megalodon, but there was
[1:18:10] Speaker 2: another one just chilling, that's us.
[1:18:11] Speaker 1: Just in the water.
[1:18:13] Speaker 2: Just hanging in the water. Just in the water, just
[1:18:15] Speaker 2: in there. He's in there.
[1:18:17] Speaker 6: Regardless of whether you love or hate the Lakers, they're
[1:18:19] Speaker 6: currently the third seed, 48-30, have a game-and-a-half lead over
[1:18:22] Speaker 6: the Nuggets. Four games remaining in the regular season. Tuesday
[1:18:26] Speaker 6: night rematch with the Thunder. Back-to-back Wednesday night against the
[1:18:29] Speaker 6: Mavs in Dallas.
[1:18:30] Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to lose that Thunder game.
[1:18:33] Speaker 6: Back-to-back Wednesday against the Mavs in Dallas. Rockets at home Friday.
[1:18:38] Speaker 6: Finish the season on the road in Portland versus the
[1:18:40] Speaker 6: Blazers Sunday. Need two wins to guarantee that they get
[1:18:42] Speaker 6: the third spot or less depending on how teams behind
[1:18:45] Speaker 6: them perform. But they own the tiebreakers with the four
[1:18:47] Speaker 6: teams currently behind them, Nuggets, Warriors, Clippers, and Bridges.
[1:18:50] Speaker 1: So we just need two wins? Two wins for sure.
[1:18:52] Speaker 1: But if one of them starts tricking us.
[1:18:54] Speaker 6: But how should the Lakers approach their remaining schedule? Because
[1:18:56] Speaker 6: I would say that just schedule an L for this
[1:18:59] Speaker 6: Thunder game Tuesday.
[1:19:01] Speaker 1: Yeah, this is schedule L. No Dave and Buster for them.
[1:19:04] Speaker 2: You know, the Dallas game might be scheduled L too
[1:19:07] Speaker 2: because this is just going to be a Lucas show. No,
[1:19:10] Speaker 2: this is a Luka. This is a Luka comeback. Is
[1:19:12] Speaker 2: it in Luka?
[1:19:12] Speaker 1: Is it in Dallas?
[1:19:13] Speaker 2: Do you, sir.
[1:19:14] Speaker 3: Is this his first game back in Dallas?
[1:19:16] Speaker 2: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
[1:19:17] Speaker 1: Thank you, Nico.
[1:19:18] Speaker 2: Thank you, Nico. Who?
[1:19:20] Speaker 1: I'm just fucking with you.
[1:19:24] Speaker 2: Real quick. Who?
[1:19:27] Speaker 1: Wait, who ain't playing?
[1:19:29] Speaker 3: Wait, what if he didn't play? That would be crazy.
[1:19:32] Speaker 3: You know how mad the Dallas fans would be?
[1:19:34] Speaker 2: I hope they were the mama blacks, too. I hope
[1:19:37] Speaker 2: they were the mama black jerseys.
[1:19:40] Speaker 7: Part of me wants to see what the response would
[1:19:42] Speaker 7: be if he decided not to play that game.
[1:19:44] Speaker 2: I would be hurt. You would? Oh, I'd be hurt.
[1:19:47] Speaker 3: Like as a Laker fan or.
[1:19:48] Speaker 2: As a Mavs fan?
[1:19:49] Speaker 1: No, as a... What they.
[1:19:51] Speaker 2: Did to you.
[1:19:51] Speaker 3: Luka would have been like, y'all don't deserve this show.
[1:19:53] Speaker 3: Y'all can wait till next year.
[1:19:55] Speaker 2: Oh, what they did to you, Luka, was not right.
[1:19:57] Speaker 3: If I'm Luka, y'all can come see me next season.
[1:19:59] Speaker 1: You gotta be the punisher. They left you for dead.
[1:20:02] Speaker 1: Shoot it every time. You gotta kill everybody.
[1:20:04] Speaker 6: So do you rest Luka Tuesday against the Thunder? Just
[1:20:08] Speaker 6: to send them.
[1:20:09] Speaker 2: I rest him.
[1:20:11] Speaker 1: LeBron play.
[1:20:12] Speaker 3: I rest him in.
[1:20:13] Speaker 2: Dallas, bro.
[1:20:14] Speaker 1: Luka sits... Luca plays Wednesday. LeBron, sit your ass home.
[1:20:19] Speaker 2: You don't need to come on this road. He's not playing? Oh, no.
[1:20:22] Speaker 2: If you're going to play, LeBron, get your 10, whatever
[1:20:26] Speaker 2: that is, and then everything else is just Luca. That
[1:20:30] Speaker 2: bitch better look like a motherfucker when... When David Robinson
[1:20:34] Speaker 2: was going for that 71, that's what it better look like.
[1:20:37] Speaker 2: Everybody's supposed to be passive.
[1:20:38] Speaker 1: Only one man the ball.
[1:20:39] Speaker 3: He's either not playing or you got to go for
[1:20:41] Speaker 3: like 100.
[1:20:42] Speaker 2: Every time. He shoots to be like 50.
[1:20:44] Speaker 1: Every time.
[1:20:44] Speaker 3: Either you sit or you go.
[1:20:46] Speaker 2: Shoot it every time.
[1:20:47] Speaker 1: It's one of the two.
[1:20:47] Speaker 2: You're not in there to win that? It's one of
[1:20:49] Speaker 2: the two.
[1:20:50] Speaker 3: I don't win team back.
[1:20:52] Speaker 2: No.
[1:20:52] Speaker 3: You either sit.
[1:20:53] Speaker 2: Go put on the show. And J-Kid, listen, J-Kid, listen,
[1:20:56] Speaker 2: use a player first for a coach. Player first.
[1:21:01] Speaker 1: Understand what this feels like. It'll be double teaming.
[1:21:03] Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be out there double teaming. Right, don't tell
[1:21:06] Speaker 2: me no trap. No, let the players stand on their
[1:21:07] Speaker 2: own like some real men. Don't be helping Nico out
[1:21:10] Speaker 2: over there doubling his shit.
[1:21:11] Speaker 1: Doubling his ass off the bus.
[1:21:12] Speaker 2: No, don't double his ass. As soon as he get
[1:21:13] Speaker 2: off the bus.
[1:21:14] Speaker 3: Oh, this game is going to be so interesting.
[1:21:16] Speaker 4: And Jason Kidd going to be trying to figure out
[1:21:18] Speaker 4: how we take down Moby Dick.
[1:21:21] Speaker 1: This how we going.
[1:21:22] Speaker 2: To do it this time. You bring the rope over here, man.
[1:21:26] Speaker 2: You hold on and we going to.
[1:21:28] Speaker 1: We gon' try to bring this motherfucker in. It's a
[1:21:32] Speaker 1: big whale, man. You gon' have to figure it out, Dallas.
[1:21:35] Speaker 2: That motherfucker don't be moving much. But do you.
[1:21:37] Speaker 6: Schedule Elf Thunder? I mean, I'm saying, you're probably not
[1:21:40] Speaker 6: gonna beat the Thunder twice. We need two wins for
[1:21:41] Speaker 6: the third? We got four games left. You need two wins.
[1:21:43] Speaker 6: You got the Blazers. Last game of the season feels
[1:21:45] Speaker 6: like a trap game, too. Blazers could be a spoiler.
[1:21:47] Speaker 1: Nah, you got Rockets coming back. You don't want to
[1:21:49] Speaker 1: wait till the last game?
[1:21:50] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:21:51] Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you gotta wait till the last game. What,
[1:21:53] Speaker 1: to guarantee third?
[1:21:56] Speaker 5: Because you don't want to have that 4-5 matchup with
[1:21:59] Speaker 5: that other team.
[1:22:00] Speaker 2: That y'all don't want.
[1:22:01] Speaker 1: I guarantee that shit.
[1:22:02] Speaker 3: They need to get the two wins now. They need
[1:22:05] Speaker 3: to get them now.
[1:22:05] Speaker 1: I guarantee that shit.
[1:22:07] Speaker 2: Y'all don't want to fuck around. They're not worrying about Denver.
[1:22:10] Speaker 2: So what two games y'all think y'all going to get?
[1:22:12] Speaker 3: They need to get these two first ones.
[1:22:14] Speaker 1: First two?
[1:22:15] Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
[1:22:16] Speaker 3: Even though it's a Schedule L in their minds, they need.
[1:22:18] Speaker 2: To knock it out of the way.
[1:22:20] Speaker 1: Should they just try to dispose of the thunder as
[1:22:22] Speaker 1: they've proven to be no real issue?
[1:22:24] Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't leave nothing to chance.
[1:22:27] Speaker 1: So they fighting for a second?
[1:22:28] Speaker 2: Third.
[1:22:29] Speaker 1: So third. If they win two, they wrap up third
[1:22:30] Speaker 1: because they own all the tiebreakers.
[1:22:31] Speaker 2: If they don't, they go what? The other issue is plays. No,
[1:22:35] Speaker 2: we go four because that means Denver would have went
[1:22:38] Speaker 2: to third. So only us and Denver can go from
[1:22:41] Speaker 2: three to four. Denver is not going to five.
[1:22:43] Speaker 1: Or do you wait and see what that matchup is
[1:22:46] Speaker 1: going to look like? They're going to go to five.
[1:22:49] Speaker 2: What's safer for y'all? That's what's going to be the question.
[1:22:52] Speaker 1: Actually, it don't even matter now. Nothing's safe for them.
[1:22:54] Speaker 1: It don't matter.
[1:22:55] Speaker 2: It don't matter because... Also, the Clippers in the mix, too.
[1:22:59] Speaker 2: Second round, we'll be playing a young team. Either way.
[1:23:01] Speaker 2: Either way.
[1:23:02] Speaker 3: Houston or.
[1:23:03] Speaker 1: We're going to be playing a.
[1:23:04] Speaker 2: Team that don't have the ref's advantage.
[1:23:06] Speaker 1: Why are you saying second round? Why are you bringing
[1:23:09] Speaker 1: this to the fucking conversation? Because that's the round you
[1:23:11] Speaker 1: advance to after you defeat whoever's put in front of you.
[1:23:14] Speaker 1: You got to get off one.
[1:23:16] Speaker 2: Start at one. Y'all got to get to four wins.
[1:23:19] Speaker 3: You got to get out of the first round.
[1:23:20] Speaker 1: Us and Denver are not worrying about the first round.
[1:23:23] Speaker 2: Who? Who? Us and Denver. Because Denver is going to
[1:23:26] Speaker 2: be three or four. They're not going to five. So
[1:23:28] Speaker 2: it's going to be us three or four in our
[1:23:31] Speaker 2: first round matchup.
[1:23:33] Speaker 1: Easy work. Golden State 3-6? 3-6. We're not worrying about
[1:23:37] Speaker 1: no Golden State Warriors.
[1:23:38] Speaker 2: Y'all not? No.
[1:23:39] Speaker 1: We'd like a tougher opponent. Stronger matchup. We'd prefer a
[1:23:43] Speaker 1: tougher opponent. Y'all better.
[1:23:45] Speaker 2: Who is the other opponent that you would get? 4-5
[1:23:47] Speaker 2: would be Clippers. 4-5 is Clippers. Clippers is a warrior.
[1:23:50] Speaker 2: I'll say Golden State is going to be playing Clippers
[1:23:53] Speaker 2: or Warriors. If I'm y'all, I want to play the Clippers. Really?
[1:23:57] Speaker 1: I kind of don't want to play the Clippers either.
[1:23:59] Speaker 3: I kind of don't.
[1:24:00] Speaker 2: They're fighting right now. They're fighting. Yeah. I'd rather play
[1:24:03] Speaker 2: Golden State.
[1:24:04] Speaker 1: I don't want to play Golden State.
[1:24:05] Speaker 2: Because Clippers, with Golden State, they don't get to the
[1:24:09] Speaker 2: free throw line.
[1:24:10] Speaker 1: They don't have no bigs.
[1:24:10] Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's going to be 27-5. They're going to
[1:24:14] Speaker 2: complain the whole series just like they normally do.
[1:24:17] Speaker 1: So I don't want to play James Harden.
[1:24:18] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[1:24:20] Speaker 2: And Norm Powell. Y'all don't play physical. No, but LeBron James.
[1:24:23] Speaker 1: They're not fouling. LeBron James and Luka and.
[1:24:25] Speaker 2: Austin Reeves, they get free throws.
[1:24:26] Speaker 1: They're going to get fouls. They know how to get fouls.
[1:24:29] Speaker 1: Talking about the playoffs. It's regular season. They get fouls
[1:24:31] Speaker 1: in the playoffs.
[1:24:32] Speaker 2: Play on. They're foul baiters.
[1:24:33] Speaker 1: Play on.
[1:24:33] Speaker 3: LeBron and Luka definitely will get free throws.
[1:24:36] Speaker 1: In comparison to that team, though, they got an advantage.
[1:24:39] Speaker 2: Yes. They got an advantage. When it comes to free throws,
[1:24:41] Speaker 2: it's going to be the 27 to 12. It's going
[1:24:42] Speaker 2: to be a big 15. Golden State and six. Okay.
[1:24:50] Speaker 2: I stepped by myself. I don't know. Not against them
[1:24:53] Speaker 2: three niggas.
[1:24:53] Speaker 3: We need to play after you.
[1:24:56] Speaker 2: No way. No way. No way. He's James Butler now.
[1:25:01] Speaker 2: So it's going to be second round.
[1:25:03] Speaker 1: We'll be playing Houston.
[1:25:06] Speaker 2: Young Houston, or Young O.K.C. So we're facing Denver in
[1:25:10] Speaker 2: the Western Conference Finals. Worst case scenario, y'all better win
[1:25:14] Speaker 2: two games.
[1:25:15] Speaker 3: Y'all better win because y'all don't want to see Denver
[1:25:16] Speaker 3: from round one.
[1:25:17] Speaker 1: Y'all better get two games.
[1:25:18] Speaker 2: We can't see Denver round one.
[1:25:19] Speaker 3: Four or five, right? They drop? Oh, they can't drop?
[1:25:22] Speaker 1: If we're down, Denver goes to third, so we'll be four.
[1:25:25] Speaker 3: Oh, so y'all will never get.
[1:25:26] Speaker 2: To four or five. It's just us swapping, so we
[1:25:28] Speaker 2: won't play them first round. But we're not worrying about
[1:25:30] Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets. Anything is possible in Adam Silver's NBA.
[1:25:34] Speaker 1: Trust me. Expect some chicanery and shenanigans.
[1:25:36] Speaker 5: Y'all fuck around, lose out. In this final week. We
[1:25:39] Speaker 5: lose out, we're in fourth. Y'all lose all the rest
[1:25:41] Speaker 5: of y'all games, y'all not going.
[1:25:42] Speaker 2: To stand for it.
[1:25:43] Speaker 3: Yeah, because they have all the tiebreakers, right?
[1:25:45] Speaker 2: We got all the tiebreakers.
[1:25:46] Speaker 1: Other teams still playing games. But some of those teams
[1:25:48] Speaker 1: play each other. So the worst we can get to
[1:25:50] Speaker 1: is five. Damn.
[1:25:52] Speaker 3: This is crazy.
[1:25:53] Speaker 2: It is. Five, which means Denver's at three.
[1:25:55] Speaker 3: They all chilling.
[1:25:56] Speaker 2: And then Clippers is at four.
[1:25:58] Speaker 1: Or Denver tried to lose and play four. Y'all get
[1:26:01] Speaker 1: to five. They got four. They got home four. Then
[1:26:02] Speaker 1: Clippers jumped to three.
[1:26:03] Speaker 2: Three?
[1:26:04] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fine. I don't think they can jump to three.
[1:26:06] Speaker 6: Shout out to former Mind the Game podcast host, JJ Reddy,
[1:26:09] Speaker 6: for transitioning into coaching, leading this Lakers squad to the
[1:26:12] Speaker 6: current third seed. But we talked about Denver. Let's talk
[1:26:14] Speaker 6: a little bit about what's going on on that side.
[1:26:17] Speaker 6: Nikola Jokic has been making a strong case to win
[1:26:19] Speaker 6: his fourth MVP this season, putting up some monster games
[1:26:22] Speaker 6: as of late, despite the Nuggets' struggles as a team.
[1:26:25] Speaker 6: Joker made some more history on Sunday, but once again,
[1:26:28] Speaker 6: it wasn't enough to get the Nuggets a win. Let's
[1:26:30] Speaker 6: take a look at some of the highlights, if you
[1:26:32] Speaker 6: don't mind. Joker finished with 41 points, 15 rebounds, and
[1:26:35] Speaker 6: 13 assists. He was 18 of 33 from the field,
[1:26:40] Speaker 6: but just 3 for 11 from deep. Jokic's league-leading 32nd
[1:26:44] Speaker 6: triple-double this season, seventh career 40-point triple-double, which ties Wilt
[1:26:48] Speaker 6: Chamberlain for the most in NBA history by a center.
[1:26:52] Speaker 6: Jamal Murray missed his fifth straight game with a strained
[1:26:54] Speaker 6: right hamstring. Christian Brown tried to pick up the slack,
[1:26:57] Speaker 6: finishing with 30 points and eight boards.
[1:26:59] Speaker 1: Michael Porter Jr. had 15 points and six boards, but
[1:27:02] Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon struggled, finishing with just five points on five-shot
[1:27:05] Speaker 1: attempts in 34 minutes of action. Russell Westbrook, big off
[1:27:10] Speaker 1: the bench.
[1:27:11] Speaker 6: Contributing 16 points, five boards, and four assists on six
[1:27:14] Speaker 6: of 10 shooting. Pacers had six players scoring double figures,
[1:27:18] Speaker 6: led by Miles Turner, had 24 points in three blocks.
[1:27:21] Speaker 6: Obi Toppin had 22 points, shot 50% from the field.
[1:27:25] Speaker 6: Andrew Nebhart added 19 points and six assists. And Tyrese Halliburton,
[1:27:29] Speaker 6: nine points and 14 dimes in the game as well.
[1:27:32] Speaker 2: Hallie needs some more love, too, for what he's doing.
[1:27:34] Speaker 6: His assist to turnover ratio is absurd since the All-Star break.
[1:27:38] Speaker 6: But the Nuggets lost their fourth straight game Currently holding
[1:27:42] Speaker 6: down the fourth spot, but just a half-game lead over
[1:27:45] Speaker 6: the four teams directly below them. Ken, you've been very
[1:27:48] Speaker 6: impressed with Joker's season, what he's doing. Top two, three
[1:27:52] Speaker 6: in a baby statistical categories. But is Joker's dominant season
[1:27:55] Speaker 6: getting overshadowed by the Nugget struggles?
[1:27:59] Speaker 5: No, it's getting overshadowed by the media's bias for Shea
[1:28:03] Speaker 5: being MVP. That's what it's being overshadowed by. You feel
[1:28:07] Speaker 5: there's a media bias right now?
[1:28:09] Speaker 2: Absolutely. Absolutely.
[1:28:10] Speaker 3: Which is so weird.
[1:28:11] Speaker 1: For Shea Gildress Alexander. Isn't that weird?
[1:28:13] Speaker 3: It is weird. They're like biasing. They did that. They
[1:28:16] Speaker 3: should have won last year. So they're trying to undo
[1:28:19] Speaker 3: what they did.
[1:28:20] Speaker 2: It tends to happen.
[1:28:22] Speaker 5: Now it's this immediate push to do that because those
[1:28:25] Speaker 5: are the people that vote.
[1:28:26] Speaker 3: They messed it up last year. Don't mess it up again.
[1:28:29] Speaker 1: They did mess it up last year.
[1:28:30] Speaker 3: Shea should have won last year.
[1:28:31] Speaker 1: No, he shouldn't.
[1:28:32] Speaker 3: Yes, he should have.
[1:28:32] Speaker 2: That's why you're not going to win this year. There's
[1:28:35] Speaker 2: a dude better than him.
[1:28:36] Speaker 3: That makes me sad.
[1:28:37] Speaker 2: There's a dude better than you. He's better. What are
[1:28:42] Speaker 2: we watching?
[1:28:44] Speaker 3: I'm with you. They messed up last year.
[1:28:48] Speaker 1: It's a culture thing.
[1:28:49] Speaker 3: I also think they messed up when they gave it
[1:28:50] Speaker 3: to Embiid.
[1:28:51] Speaker 1: They should have got it the year before.
[1:28:54] Speaker 2: Who?
[1:28:54] Speaker 1: Joel Embiid should have got it the year before he
[1:28:56] Speaker 1: got it.
[1:28:56] Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like a year late.
[1:28:59] Speaker 2: A year behind. That's what it looks like. It's like
[1:29:01] Speaker 2: whatever they fuck up, they re-correct it.
[1:29:03] Speaker 3: And then they mess up the next person.
[1:29:06] Speaker 1: I just think that they need somebody to play good
[1:29:08] Speaker 1: enough to challenge this dude.
[1:29:09] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm... Yeah, so they talking to themselves.
[1:29:17] Speaker 3: Because y'all are the ones that are voting.
[1:29:19] Speaker 2: We're not voting.
[1:29:19] Speaker 1: Y'all are voting.
[1:29:20] Speaker 5: Because they don't watch enough basketball. They're not watching every game.
[1:29:23] Speaker 5: Their mind is made up. They tune in every morning.
[1:29:26] Speaker 5: They listen to Stephen A, what Stephen A has to say.
[1:29:29] Speaker 5: And whatever, who's hot, they going to go with that take.
[1:29:32] Speaker 5: And if Kendrick Perkins said, they going to listen to him.
[1:29:34] Speaker 5: They're watching NBA. They're watching ESPN pregame and the TNT
[1:29:37] Speaker 5: pregame and whoever they praise, and that's who the fuck
[1:29:40] Speaker 5: they're going to vote for.
[1:29:41] Speaker 1: That's just what it is. They're not watching enough of.
[1:29:43] Speaker 5: These games to have an honest opinion about who's the MVP.
[1:29:46] Speaker 2: They're just not.
[1:29:47] Speaker 1: They're also watching Gills Arena presented by Underdog. But we
[1:29:50] Speaker 1: don't get a vote, though.
[1:29:51] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
[1:29:53] Speaker 2: Who cares what we fucking.
[1:29:54] Speaker 5: If we didn't get a vote, we'll get it right,
[1:29:55] Speaker 5: but we don't get a vote, so we talking about.
[1:29:57] Speaker 3: The people that get these votes.
[1:29:59] Speaker 1: Who they're listening to. Why don't we get a vote?
[1:30:01] Speaker 1: Can we get one communal Gills Arena vote?
[1:30:03] Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who vote and that should
[1:30:04] Speaker 3: not be voted for.
[1:30:05] Speaker 5: These are people who they paying attention to. These journalists
[1:30:07] Speaker 5: that ain't picked up a basketball, they did these things, and.
[1:30:10] Speaker 1: They only watching....
[1:30:13] Speaker 5: It's regional bias is what it is. Because you're only
[1:30:16] Speaker 5: watching the team that's in your region when you're up.
[1:30:19] Speaker 5: Because you're not watching Denver Nuggets basketball game, because they're
[1:30:22] Speaker 5: coming on at a later time.
[1:30:23] Speaker 1: If you're on East Coast.
[1:30:24] Speaker 2: So you're only going forward.
[1:30:25] Speaker 5: You're catching highlights. You're looking at the stats. You're doing
[1:30:28] Speaker 5: exactly what most people do. Looking up the box scores
[1:30:30] Speaker 5: of each team, seeing what numbers he had, this, that,
[1:30:32] Speaker 5: and the third. Then you watch and see who these
[1:30:34] Speaker 5: guys are going to talk about, who they're hyping up.
[1:30:36] Speaker 5: For Defensive Player of the Year, for MVP, for Most Improved,
[1:30:39] Speaker 5: for all these categories. And then you're like, oh, maybe
[1:30:43] Speaker 5: I should vote for this guy because everybody else is
[1:30:45] Speaker 5: doing it.
[1:30:46] Speaker 4: But then you had an argument. You see who having
[1:30:48] Speaker 4: an argument. You're like, well, this one guy over here
[1:30:50] Speaker 4: is the only guy talking about this. So why would
[1:30:52] Speaker 4: I be on his? It's always the group thing. And
[1:30:57] Speaker 4: it's literally like he's.
[1:30:58] Speaker 1: Saying, Shea, Shea, Shea, Shea, Shea, Shea, Shea, all the outlets.
[1:31:03] Speaker 2: Why he ain't winning?
[1:31:04] Speaker 4: And we looking at the dude is top three in
[1:31:06] Speaker 4: four different categories. Top three in steals? Seven foot, you
[1:31:13] Speaker 4: top three in three-point field goal percentage.
[1:31:17] Speaker 3: Like I said, they're like gaslighting everybody.
[1:31:19] Speaker 2: 58, 52, 80. Y'all vote. It's averaging 11 assists a
[1:31:24] Speaker 2: game as a center.
[1:31:25] Speaker 3: I really feel like as spectators, like we get gaslit
[1:31:29] Speaker 3: by the media.
[1:31:29] Speaker 2: 100%.
[1:31:30] Speaker 3: As if y'all are the ones making these narratives and votes.
[1:31:33] Speaker 1: And that's why we only watch girls are in a
[1:31:34] Speaker 1: presented box.
[1:31:34] Speaker 2: What are y'all talking about?
[1:31:36] Speaker 3: Why is it this? What do you mean this is
[1:31:38] Speaker 3: what y'all are doing? Y'all did it.
[1:31:40] Speaker 2: They should have rounds of voting.
[1:31:43] Speaker 3: Yes, cut this down.
[1:31:44] Speaker 2: There's only about a week left in games. Right now,
[1:31:48] Speaker 2: it should actually be only two players being voted for.
[1:31:56] Speaker 2: All you guys sitting there with these votes, and y'all
[1:31:59] Speaker 2: sitting there with this stupid-ass vote.
[1:32:01] Speaker 1: Like, I'm voting for this person.
[1:32:02] Speaker 2: He's not even in the category.
[1:32:04] Speaker 3: You're honestly going to get a couple first-round votes.
[1:32:07] Speaker 2: For sure. That's the problem. Do you disagree with that, though? Yeah,
[1:32:12] Speaker 2: you have to. That's what he's saying. Right now, he
[1:32:15] Speaker 2: has no chance to win. Nobody. Where the fuck is
[1:32:17] Speaker 2: he on the ballot? Don't give him no votes. I
[1:32:19] Speaker 2: understand that, but if you're watching what Giannis is doing,
[1:32:22] Speaker 2: David Tatum shouldn't steal no votes or none of it.
[1:32:25] Speaker 2: There's a week left. That means there's only a... Right now,
[1:32:28] Speaker 2: whatever the top five should have been, it should have
[1:32:30] Speaker 2: been the last three weeks. Yep. Right? Once you get
[1:32:33] Speaker 2: the top five down, then there should be another round.
[1:32:36] Speaker 2: Right now, going to the last week, it should be
[1:32:38] Speaker 2: only two people you can vote for, and you can't
[1:32:41] Speaker 2: vote for these two until the end of the last game.
[1:32:44] Speaker 2: That means you stupid motherfuckers that's going to be voting
[1:32:47] Speaker 2: for your favorite player in your city that shouldn't even
[1:32:51] Speaker 2: get a vote. You're wasting a vote. Yeah. Being stupid.
[1:32:54] Speaker 2: So if there's 100 of you, that means all 100
[1:32:57] Speaker 2: of you got two people to vote for. Absolutely. So
[1:33:00] Speaker 2: those five votes or something, those five Giannis votes, those
[1:33:04] Speaker 2: three Jason Tatum votes, they can go to the right person.
[1:33:07] Speaker 1: And that shit might come out 50-50.
[1:33:09] Speaker 2: It might come out 50-50. My shit might come out 50-50.
[1:33:12] Speaker 2: And when it comes out 50-50, motherfucker cold. I don't
[1:33:15] Speaker 2: want to see, oh, let's do it again. No, no, no.
[1:33:19] Speaker 1: 50-50. Because right now, if I had to vote, I
[1:33:22] Speaker 1: don't know. Don't give me the pen.
[1:33:24] Speaker 2: I don't know. So with the Wooden Award, they send
[1:33:26] Speaker 2: a bunch of people on the list.
[1:33:28] Speaker 5: Then they break that shit down. It's only certain people
[1:33:30] Speaker 5: that you can vote for.
[1:33:32] Speaker 2: Right?
[1:33:32] Speaker 1: Yep.
[1:33:33] Speaker 2: Just what the fuck it is. Because I know Steve
[1:33:34] Speaker 2: right now voting for Brunson. See, he don't give a
[1:33:38] Speaker 2: fuck about Brunson. He don't give a fuck about Brunson.
[1:33:41] Speaker 2: He don't give a fuck about Brunson. He don't give
[1:33:44] Speaker 2: a fuck about Brunson. He don't give a fuck about Brunson.
[1:33:49] Speaker 2: He don't give a fuck about Brunson.
[1:34:01] Speaker 4: I'm going to vote for me, God damn it.
[1:34:04] Speaker 2: Right in. Larry. Larry. But that's what I said.
[1:34:08] Speaker 1: It should be right now. It should be just two.
[1:34:10] Speaker 2: People on that ballot, man. 100 votes.
[1:34:11] Speaker 3: Yeah, because they'd be wasting votes.
[1:34:14] Speaker 2: Just wasting.
[1:34:15] Speaker 1: Like, when you be seeing the votes, you be like.
[1:34:17] Speaker 3: Why does this person have one first place vote?
[1:34:19] Speaker 2: That's a good. Hey, they should make that change, man.
[1:34:23] Speaker 2: And it's. Some people forget to vote.
[1:34:28] Speaker 5: Right, that shit's sending you an email, you're like, oh shit,
[1:34:30] Speaker 5: I missed the cutoff date, you got some other shit
[1:34:32] Speaker 5: going on, you forgot to send your shit in.
[1:34:33] Speaker 1: They gotta be booted, they can't ever vote again. It's
[1:34:35] Speaker 1: that shit like that, because human error happens.
[1:34:38] Speaker 2: Facts. And the problem is, they don't even have a discussion.
[1:34:44] Speaker 2: They don't even have this. You just vote and then
[1:34:47] Speaker 2: you just put it in and just be like, because
[1:34:49] Speaker 2: there'll be some like, hey man, why you vote for him?
[1:34:52] Speaker 1: Like, why are you voting for him?
[1:34:54] Speaker 2: Like Jerry. You know the word only comes out if
[1:34:58] Speaker 2: the person they voted for are born.
[1:35:00] Speaker 3: They only come out and say who they voted for
[1:35:02] Speaker 3: if they're a person born.
[1:35:03] Speaker 5: So you can go in a room and and have
[1:35:06] Speaker 5: somebody's life in your motherfucking hands in jury duty, right?
[1:35:10] Speaker 5: But they ain't gonna put you in the room together
[1:35:11] Speaker 5: to vote for who the best basketball player is.
[1:35:14] Speaker 2: It's like, the fuck is that?
[1:35:16] Speaker 1: Facts, man.
[1:35:17] Speaker 4: They should definitely do it.
[1:35:19] Speaker 3: They need a redo.
[1:35:20] Speaker 2: And then everybody like, oh, you voted for who?
[1:35:22] Speaker 1: Everybody looking like, give us your point. Hey, come on, man.
[1:35:26] Speaker 2: Why you pick him? I like him, man. I like
[1:35:27] Speaker 2: his game, man.
[1:35:28] Speaker 3: He gave me my interview.
[1:35:29] Speaker 1: Yeah, that part. I promise. You can like who you like,
[1:35:33] Speaker 1: but when you're giving out awards....
[1:35:37] Speaker 3: And you have the one vote for Giannis, and everybody
[1:35:40] Speaker 3: else voting over here, and you decide to use your
[1:35:42] Speaker 3: first-place vote on Giannis, which is valid.
[1:35:44] Speaker 2: Giannis is a valid first-place vote, though.
[1:35:48] Speaker 1: Is he number three, though, right now?
[1:35:51] Speaker 2: Gil is not valid. That's what I'm saying. Because he's
[1:35:53] Speaker 2: going to get 31 points, 12 rebounds, 60% to fill.
[1:35:55] Speaker 2: What are you doing on the defense?
[1:35:57] Speaker 1: Is he top three?
[1:36:01] Speaker 2: If he's three right now at a cutoff because he
[1:36:03] Speaker 2: can't jump the two, you should remove him. It's a
[1:36:06] Speaker 2: two-man race. It's a two-man race. Like, Giannis is doing
[1:36:09] Speaker 2: his thing, but right now it's a two-man race, then
[1:36:11] Speaker 2: that means you can only vote for these two. Yeah,
[1:36:13] Speaker 2: we agree.
[1:36:14] Speaker 1: Like, he fits that category.
[1:36:15] Speaker 2: Like, right now, even if you tell me to vote
[1:36:17] Speaker 2: for Giannis, I'm like, man, it's been a two-man race.
[1:36:20] Speaker 2: You doing your thing over there, big dog.
[1:36:21] Speaker 1: Absolutely.
[1:36:21] Speaker 2: But it's been a two-man race for the last goddamn
[1:36:23] Speaker 2: two months.
[1:36:24] Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, then. And I still don't know.
[1:36:26] Speaker 4: If Giannis and the Bucks are number one, does that
[1:36:29] Speaker 4: push Shea out?
[1:36:32] Speaker 2: With his numbers?
[1:36:33] Speaker 4: Does that put Shea out? If Giannis and the Bucs
[1:36:36] Speaker 4: are number one.
[1:36:37] Speaker 2: Numbers better. I don't know. The numbers are better. No, Giannis'
[1:36:40] Speaker 2: numbers are better.
[1:36:41] Speaker 1: 31-12-6, 60% from the field.
[1:36:43] Speaker 2: Giannis' numbers is better than Shea's.
[1:36:46] Speaker 1: 60% from the field. Both sides of the ball. But
[1:36:47] Speaker 1: Giannis and Shea play both sides of the ball at
[1:36:49] Speaker 1: a higher level than Joker. Joker dominant on the offensive side.
[1:36:52] Speaker 3: It's not perfect.
[1:36:53] Speaker 2: Defensively. I know, and I'm serious.
[1:36:56] Speaker 4: If OKC is not the number one team in the NBA,
[1:37:00] Speaker 4: and the Bucs are the number one team in the NBA,
[1:37:02] Speaker 4: Shay is still in the room.
[1:37:04] Speaker 1: Wait, if Shay is not number one?
[1:37:06] Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm saying... No, Shay's team is not.
[1:37:08] Speaker 1: Where they are.
[1:37:08] Speaker 2: Keep them where they are.
[1:37:11] Speaker 3: It's still Giannis.
[1:37:11] Speaker 2: Keep them where they are.
[1:37:14] Speaker 5: If the Bucs were number one in the East, if
[1:37:15] Speaker 5: the Bucs was number one in the East and Giannis'
[1:37:17] Speaker 5: numbers was what they... It would be Giannis and the Colts.
[1:37:20] Speaker 2: It would be Giannis and Joker. For sure. Which would
[1:37:22] Speaker 2: be wrong because you don't factor in all of.
[1:37:25] Speaker 1: The basketball world. If you take out.
[1:37:29] Speaker 2: Because this would be before Dame got injured, they would
[1:37:32] Speaker 2: be number one. If we remove all of them... One
[1:37:36] Speaker 2: team is in damn near last place. They the Blazers.
[1:37:39] Speaker 2: The other team survives. They survive. You can survive with
[1:37:42] Speaker 2: just Dame. And the rest of that country will survive.
[1:37:46] Speaker 1: The Bucs will survive.
[1:37:47] Speaker 2: Denver will be playing solid basketball. OKC is not in
[1:37:51] Speaker 2: this conversation of even talking basketball.
[1:37:53] Speaker 1: They're not number one. They're not number one.
[1:37:56] Speaker 2: They're not even top ten. No, they're not. Hell no. No. No? No.
[1:38:02] Speaker 1: That man makes all of it move.
[1:38:03] Speaker 2: No, man.
[1:38:04] Speaker 1: He makes all of the plays.
[1:38:06] Speaker 2: But you can't say the same thing about Joker. The
[1:38:08] Speaker 2: system set up for him to do that. We know
[1:38:11] Speaker 2: what Jokic, we know what Murray looks like. We know
[1:38:14] Speaker 2: what the fuck Murray looks like. He don't look like
[1:38:16] Speaker 2: that right now. But we know it because he holds.
[1:38:19] Speaker 2: We know how important Murray is if Jokic is not
[1:38:23] Speaker 2: on that floor. We know what Westbrook is. We know
[1:38:26] Speaker 2: if Jokic is not playing, that motherfucker is going to
[1:38:28] Speaker 2: average a triple-double. But they're not going to win. to win.
[1:38:30] Speaker 2: If Jalen Williams is by himself, we.
[1:38:34] Speaker 1: Don't know what he looks like. They're playing team ball.
[1:38:36] Speaker 2: Literally. It's team ball because of Shea plays damn near
[1:38:39] Speaker 2: every game.
[1:38:40] Speaker 1: He is very available. That's the problem.
[1:38:42] Speaker 2: He's so good and he's so available, we don't even
[1:38:45] Speaker 2: know what that team looks like without him.
[1:38:47] Speaker 3: Also, he's always going to score 30 points.
[1:38:49] Speaker 1: He's so consistent.
[1:38:50] Speaker 2: We know that. We know that.
[1:38:52] Speaker 1: It keeps everybody in play. It keeps everybody in play.
[1:38:54] Speaker 4: Because there's a formula for 30.
[1:38:56] Speaker 2: Yeah. There's a formula for it. He's following it. It's
[1:38:59] Speaker 2: obvious to me.
[1:39:00] Speaker 3: Giannis is in third place right now in MVP voting?
[1:39:03] Speaker 2: I don't know.
[1:39:04] Speaker 1: Nobody even talked about third. We don't even.
[1:39:07] Speaker 2: Know who's in third place at all. There's a lot
[1:39:09] Speaker 2: of shit that we don't know.
[1:39:10] Speaker 7: The fact that the media has talked about this Jokic
[1:39:15] Speaker 7: and Shea race for so long and anybody would fix
[1:39:19] Speaker 7: their hand to vote number one for anybody else is crazy.
[1:39:22] Speaker 1: Gianna's currently third.
[1:39:23] Speaker 2: But winning does play a factor, obviously, if we keep
[1:39:26] Speaker 2: having a conversation, right?
[1:39:27] Speaker 1: Steph isn't the last letter. Tatum's fifth? I mean, Tatum
[1:39:30] Speaker 1: is fourth.
[1:39:31] Speaker 2: No, who's fifth? Steph?
[1:39:32] Speaker 1: That was the last letter before three-point performance.
[1:39:36] Speaker 2: Like, right now, if I had to vote and you're
[1:39:38] Speaker 2: saying vote today, like, I really don't know.
[1:39:43] Speaker 1: I'd be mad.
[1:39:43] Speaker 2: Like, fuck. Flip a coin.
[1:39:45] Speaker 1: Because I'm factoring all of it.
[1:39:47] Speaker 2: Not me. You got the youngest team. That counters, man.
[1:39:51] Speaker 2: There's college teams that's older than you.
[1:39:53] Speaker 3: He's done it two years in a row.
[1:39:54] Speaker 2: And it's like, I got to factor it.
[1:39:56] Speaker 3: Everyone was like, it was a fluke.
[1:39:58] Speaker 1: I got to factor it in.
[1:39:59] Speaker 2: Shay, you can catwalk your ass right on over there.
[1:40:02] Speaker 2: Sit and watch this nigga step into the water.
[1:40:04] Speaker 4: Go ahead and take your fur and walk down that
[1:40:07] Speaker 4: motherfucking catwalk and try again next year.
[1:40:10] Speaker 2: You can say you've seen this before, but you've never
[1:40:12] Speaker 2: seen it before. You've never seen a guy carry this
[1:40:15] Speaker 2: young-ass squad to number one. You actually haven't seen that before.
[1:40:19] Speaker 2: Allen Iverson. No, we didn't. That team was old as fuck.
[1:40:24] Speaker 2: That's an old-ass team. You're talking about a team that's
[1:40:27] Speaker 2: 24 and under.
[1:40:27] Speaker 1: 12 and a half game lead in the West right now.
[1:40:30] Speaker 1: Going to David Buster. So what Jokic is doing, never
[1:40:33] Speaker 1: seen that shit before. What Shea is doing, we never
[1:40:35] Speaker 1: seen it before. So you have to value it at
[1:40:37] Speaker 1: the same. That's why I.
[1:40:38] Speaker 2: Said I'm sitting like.
[1:40:40] Speaker 1: Watch how lopsided them fucking numbers are going to be.
[1:40:43] Speaker 1: You think lopsided for Shea?
[1:40:44] Speaker 2: Watch. If you don't have a headache trying to figure
[1:40:47] Speaker 2: this two out because that motherfucker Jokic ain't letting off.
[1:40:51] Speaker 1: He going to sit there. He going to play every
[1:40:53] Speaker 1: motherfucking game.
[1:40:54] Speaker 2: Logically. And at the point in shade, you are forced
[1:40:56] Speaker 2: to play every game because you don't want to just
[1:40:59] Speaker 2: sit back. And if I'm the coach, if I'm the coach,
[1:41:05] Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I can't.
[1:41:06] Speaker 1: I'm not subbing that motherfucker out.
[1:41:09] Speaker 2: If I'm the coach, the one person that not playing
[1:41:11] Speaker 2: defense is going to be me. There's not going to
[1:41:14] Speaker 2: be we up 20 and I sub his ass out,
[1:41:16] Speaker 2: he got 12, fucking 20 points. Hey, man, do you, man?
[1:41:19] Speaker 2: Because at this point, I'm going to fuck your shit
[1:41:22] Speaker 2: up if I'm going to sub you out, we up 25.
[1:41:25] Speaker 2: Because that motherfucker Jokic is in here doing whatever he's
[1:41:28] Speaker 2: doing in motherfucking a half. He had 29, 9 and
[1:41:32] Speaker 2: 6 at halftime.
[1:41:34] Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there, hey, Shay, man, look.
[1:41:37] Speaker 2: You got 48 minutes in you because you're going to
[1:41:39] Speaker 2: have to do all that.
[1:41:40] Speaker 1: That motherfucker over there from Siberia.
[1:41:41] Speaker 7: I feel like they got to call MVP.
[1:41:43] Speaker 2: Siberia.
[1:41:44] Speaker 1: Serbia's La Vie in Chicken.
[1:41:46] Speaker 2: La Vie in Chicken. Where he from?
[1:41:48] Speaker 1: He doing that all over. He playing for.
[1:41:51] Speaker 2: The country right now.
[1:41:52] Speaker 1: 30-point triple-double will be the first big thing in history.
[1:41:55] Speaker 2: Why is this a comeback? What are we talking about?
[1:41:58] Speaker 1: Because the passing skills.
[1:41:59] Speaker 2: I'm saying, but why? We know why, but I'm saying,
[1:42:02] Speaker 2: but why? If you take away his passing and he
[1:42:05] Speaker 2: was just averaging three like every normal big, you wouldn't
[1:42:08] Speaker 2: even be concerned. But if we took away Shea's braids,
[1:42:10] Speaker 2: he would just be a regular in L.A. walking around.
[1:42:12] Speaker 1: If you take away his braids, that motherfucker be on
[1:42:14] Speaker 1: every day. Just be regular. Regular Canadian. No braids.
[1:42:18] Speaker 2: If you take away his passes....
[1:42:22] Speaker 1: You can't take away his passion because that's part of
[1:42:30] Speaker 1: his skill package. So it's at this part.
[1:42:32] Speaker 2: They'd be just like you can't you can't throw you
[1:42:34] Speaker 2: can't penalize. Just like penalize Shay because he don't rebound
[1:42:38] Speaker 2: like you're not. Why can't we not penalize him? We
[1:42:40] Speaker 2: just sent other guys better. Did we penalize Russ? Yes.
[1:42:44] Speaker 1: He's the same size, the same position. He did what
[1:42:46] Speaker 1: he could be doing, but he can't do that.
[1:42:48] Speaker 2: But they didn't value it. But that's what I'm saying.
[1:42:51] Speaker 2: They didn't value it. They already had a name.
[1:42:52] Speaker 4: After they saw it once, they said, oh, yeah. Regardless
[1:42:55] Speaker 4: of what you thought, we see that he can do this.
[1:42:58] Speaker 4: Russ shows he can do what Joker can do.
[1:43:00] Speaker 3: Right, and he got killed for it.
[1:43:02] Speaker 4: If SGA can't do what Joker can do and Russ could, why?
[1:43:06] Speaker 4: You can't win the MVP. But this is a bigger conversation.
[1:43:09] Speaker 4: Because you can't give Russ back MVPs, right?
[1:43:14] Speaker 2: The fact that you know this is not as easy
[1:43:17] Speaker 2: as people thought and what Russ did was very impressive.
[1:43:21] Speaker 1: The fact that he had four of those.
[1:43:24] Speaker 2: What you're praising Yoke Joe right now, because of his passing,
[1:43:28] Speaker 2: you should give Russell that for his rebounding, right? Now,
[1:43:33] Speaker 2: when you talk about Russell Westbrook, I don't want to
[1:43:35] Speaker 2: hear it in turn of winning because obviously this man
[1:43:38] Speaker 2: ain't won either doing it. You're right. Right? He hasn't won.
[1:43:43] Speaker 2: It ain't turn to winning. But what he is doing
[1:43:45] Speaker 2: is he's leaving all of it to the game of basketball.
[1:43:48] Speaker 2: What Jokic is doing, even though it's turning to losing,
[1:43:51] Speaker 2: he's bringing all of it to basketball. You can't say, oh, man,
[1:43:55] Speaker 2: you lost. I didn't give enough. I should have had 62.
[1:43:58] Speaker 2: I should have gave 62, 12, and 12. Right? There's
[1:44:03] Speaker 2: little things that he could have did more. But when
[1:44:05] Speaker 2: you now process Russell's resume... You have to now understand
[1:44:11] Speaker 2: what a Yoke is just doing is impressive.
[1:44:13] Speaker 1: What that motherfucker did for four seasons.
[1:44:17] Speaker 2: Has to now be moved the fuck up. 100,000%. You
[1:44:21] Speaker 2: can't use the same Russell.
[1:44:25] Speaker 1: We can see what Jokic is doing.
[1:44:26] Speaker 2: He has to do all of that to try to
[1:44:28] Speaker 2: win because the rest of the team really ain't doing
[1:44:30] Speaker 2: what they should be doing. Lost four straight games.
[1:44:35] Speaker 1: So now you have to.
[1:44:36] Speaker 2: Move Russell up a little bit more because of what
[1:44:39] Speaker 2: he was bringing. If you had a motherfucker ranked 37th,
[1:44:44] Speaker 2: You got to be like, okay, maybe he's top 17 now.
[1:44:47] Speaker 2: I mean, four triple doubles. Four triple doubles is now impressive.
[1:44:51] Speaker 2: We can't use a stat chasing and all that shit
[1:44:55] Speaker 2: because none of it... Because I can tell you, whoever's
[1:44:58] Speaker 2: leading the league in assists and whoever's behind them, I
[1:45:01] Speaker 2: guarantee you, they are taking... They are not taking shots
[1:45:06] Speaker 2: to keep getting those assists. You can't tell me Magic Johnson...
[1:45:12] Speaker 2: Who was it? Steve Nash.
[1:45:14] Speaker 1: When Steve Nash went in, when.
[1:45:15] Speaker 2: John Stockton was trying to get his assist, you can't
[1:45:18] Speaker 2: tell me they wasn't patting their stats.
[1:45:19] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, you passing them wide-open shots.
[1:45:21] Speaker 2: Yeah, this coach is patting stats on fucking winning, but
[1:45:24] Speaker 2: we don't call it patting stats. Trey leading the league
[1:45:27] Speaker 2: right now, Joker in second, Tyrese Halliburton third. And they
[1:45:30] Speaker 2: both sitting there. That's crazy. But they both over there
[1:45:32] Speaker 2: sitting there trying to overpass to get these assists.
[1:45:35] Speaker 1: You got two point guards. In the fucking center. In
[1:45:38] Speaker 1: the center.
[1:45:39] Speaker 2: Which is, he's a point guard.
[1:45:40] Speaker 4: And if you look up his assist to turnover ratio,
[1:45:42] Speaker 4: it might be even crazier. So to me, this is
[1:45:46] Speaker 4: all elements of skill. When you talk about a basketball
[1:45:48] Speaker 4: player and a big man that's over seven foot.
[1:45:51] Speaker 1: I think about three to one right now.
[1:45:52] Speaker 3: Yeah, he has the least amount out of the group.
[1:45:53] Speaker 2: Doing, yeah. Doing what he's doing is crazy.
[1:45:56] Speaker 6: But Halliburton is like close to.
[1:45:59] Speaker 2: Four to one.
[1:46:00] Speaker 1: Five to one.
[1:46:01] Speaker 2: Five to one.
[1:46:01] Speaker 1: Halliburton five to one. And Joker's three to one. Joker's
[1:46:04] Speaker 1: three to one. That's fine. He fucking played a foul.
[1:46:06] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Halliburton can pass his ass off.
[1:46:08] Speaker 4: Well, you can get him the ball and be like, yo,
[1:46:10] Speaker 4: make a play, and he ain't gonna shoot it. You
[1:46:13] Speaker 4: could say, make a play, and he ain't gonna shoot it.
[1:46:15] Speaker 1: So he's dispelled this rumor that bigs are dumb.
[1:46:19] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:46:20] Speaker 1: Big dumb bigs. Big dumb bigs.
[1:46:23] Speaker 2: I never believed that. They could just say American because
[1:46:28] Speaker 2: if they were to say these big dumb American bigs.
[1:46:30] Speaker 1: You still can roll with it?
[1:46:33] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:46:33] Speaker 1: All right, fair.
[1:46:35] Speaker 2: You know, just when you sit back and the Euro
[1:46:41] Speaker 2: is taking over, when you're talking about just history, when
[1:46:45] Speaker 2: you think about all the Euros that came in through
[1:46:47] Speaker 2: history from big Sabonis, when you're talking about um cool
[1:46:53] Speaker 2: coach they've had a skill that wasn't respected back then
[1:47:03] Speaker 2: right we didn't on vladi divox right it it was
[1:47:07] Speaker 2: a it was a skill that all of them had
[1:47:10] Speaker 2: from the beginning of tyson A big man who can
[1:47:14] Speaker 2: pass and stretch the floor. It was the same thing
[1:47:17] Speaker 2: that Brown, Coach Brown, didn't see in Darko. What? Fuck
[1:47:24] Speaker 2: Darko up. Right?
[1:47:26] Speaker 1: A big that can pop, pat, pass.
[1:47:28] Speaker 2: Do all that. They didn't see that. Now?
[1:47:32] Speaker 1: He did have all that.
[1:47:33] Speaker 2: Now when you look across the board, and you looking
[1:47:36] Speaker 2: at Giddy, you looking at Luka, you looking at Jokic,
[1:47:39] Speaker 2: you looking at that motherfucker down in, was it Danny?
[1:47:43] Speaker 1: Up in Blazers?
[1:47:44] Speaker 2: And you sitting there like, what the fuck are they doing?
[1:47:48] Speaker 2: They have, like it's, they're filling them stat sheets up.
[1:47:53] Speaker 2: They're giving you all of basketball. They're not one-sided players.
[1:47:58] Speaker 2: In the 4-5, if I'm a scout and I'm looking
[1:48:01] Speaker 2: for a 4-5, I'm going to be doing exactly what
[1:48:04] Speaker 2: this draft has been doing for the last 10 years.
[1:48:06] Speaker 2: I'm going to go overseas first. Because I know he's
[1:48:09] Speaker 2: going to be skilled. He's going to be offensively well-rounded.
[1:48:13] Speaker 2: He's going to know how to pass. He's going to
[1:48:15] Speaker 2: know how to play. He's going to know how to pick, pop, shoot, dribble.
[1:48:18] Speaker 2: I can take my point guard. out, give him the ball.
[1:48:20] Speaker 2: He's going to know what to do. Turk-a-loop.
[1:48:23] Speaker 1: Turk-a-loop.
[1:48:23] Speaker 2: Right?
[1:48:24] Speaker 1: There was a reason you put Turk... Hey, Turk, you
[1:48:26] Speaker 1: the one.
[1:48:28] Speaker 2: Carol Linko. Carol Linko.
[1:48:29] Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
[1:48:30] Speaker 2: Okor. Okor, yeah. I remember.
[1:48:33] Speaker 1: Them bitches on the same team. Man, they was on
[1:48:35] Speaker 1: the same spot.
[1:48:36] Speaker 2: When I had the 51, it was because that motherfucker
[1:48:38] Speaker 2: down there keep pushing it. I'm hitting shots, he hitting shots.
[1:48:41] Speaker 2: I'm hitting shots. Like, hey, stop that motherfucker down there, man. Somebody. Shit.
[1:48:45] Speaker 1: Man, that shit.
[1:48:46] Speaker 2: Man, that Okor. Boy, that pick and pop. Guess what?
[1:48:49] Speaker 2: Where was he at?
[1:48:50] Speaker 1: He was in Detroit.
[1:48:51] Speaker 2: Yeah, he went to Detroit. So, Darko and him is
[1:48:55] Speaker 2: sitting behind, goddammit.
[1:48:57] Speaker 1: But, you know what I mean? These motherfuckers is bringing some.
[1:48:59] Speaker 2: Shit, man.
[1:49:00] Speaker 5: Yeah, he's sitting behind Sheed, Ben Wallace.
[1:49:03] Speaker 2: Like, the guards, the problem is, it would be a
[1:49:06] Speaker 2: guard takeover if they was a little more athletic. Like,
[1:49:09] Speaker 2: Lucas staying there because he's just bigger than everyone. But
[1:49:11] Speaker 2: if they can figure out a little athleticism... With the
[1:49:14] Speaker 2: guard position. With the guard position, we in trouble? Just
[1:49:16] Speaker 2: the craftiness that they have. Calderon... Rudy Fernandez. They just crafty.
[1:49:24] Speaker 2: But the athleticism is what killed them. And Lucas stands
[1:49:27] Speaker 2: above because.
[1:49:28] Speaker 1: He's... Same thing with Giddy. They're bigger.
[1:49:32] Speaker 2: Giddy's a big dude. And he's fast.
[1:49:33] Speaker 1: There's something in the water over there. There's something in
[1:49:37] Speaker 1: the water that don't allow them to be athletic.
[1:49:39] Speaker 2: You know what they're teaching, man? They're teaching what they
[1:49:43] Speaker 2: call positionless. But you can see they're hand-picking certain players.
[1:49:48] Speaker 2: When you start looking back and you start looking at
[1:49:50] Speaker 2: these rosters that they have over there, it's like they're
[1:49:53] Speaker 2: basically saying, hey, anybody under six, so fuck off. Fuck off.
[1:49:57] Speaker 1: Like, just fuck the fuck off.
[1:49:59] Speaker 2: We got a league for you.
[1:50:00] Speaker 1: We got a league for you over there.
[1:50:01] Speaker 2: Yeah, my point guards, my overseas point guards are starting
[1:50:04] Speaker 2: at a 6-6 and above. From 6-6 and above. So
[1:50:08] Speaker 2: how we're doing, like, the Cooper flags here, hey, you
[1:50:11] Speaker 2: a point guard over there. We want you to be
[1:50:13] Speaker 2: the one, two, three, four.
[1:50:14] Speaker 1: We want you to be all skilled.
[1:50:16] Speaker 4: What they do is they put them in a B-League
[1:50:19] Speaker 4: and then they let the B-League potential foster into the A-League.
[1:50:23] Speaker 4: We'll bring you up if we see you grown in
[1:50:26] Speaker 4: the last year because you may not be big enough.
[1:50:28] Speaker 4: Like you said, you only want six, four and up.
[1:50:30] Speaker 4: So this kid may be here at B-League because he
[1:50:32] Speaker 4: ain't grown yet. Once he grows, now you're like, oh shit,
[1:50:36] Speaker 4: you was just... Now that's how Luka went from the
[1:50:40] Speaker 4: 13-year-old that was this, and then he went and he
[1:50:43] Speaker 4: grew and it was like, oh, we gotta play him
[1:50:44] Speaker 4: with the big kids now.
[1:50:45] Speaker 1: So that's what they do over there. They scouting parents
[1:50:47] Speaker 1: and everything, man.
[1:50:48] Speaker 2: Yeah, they breedin'. They breedin'. They breedin' overseas, dog. 100%.
[1:50:53] Speaker 2: Give me this Olympian and this Olympian. When you look
[1:50:59] Speaker 2: at it and you're sitting there like, like even Wimby.
[1:51:01] Speaker 2: Don't look at Theo Ratliff. But like even with those,
[1:51:05] Speaker 2: they're turning those parents, they're turning them into guards early.
[1:51:07] Speaker 5: That nigga Thiel Radley got six, nine, six, eight, six, seven,
[1:51:12] Speaker 5: daughter six, five, another daughter six, four.
[1:51:14] Speaker 2: I'm like, yo. But the problem is we're breeding too.
[1:51:19] Speaker 2: Like Eric Dampier's son is bigger than a motherfucker too.
[1:51:22] Speaker 2: Jermaine O'Neal. But what they're doing over there is they're
[1:51:24] Speaker 2: taking those kids.
[1:51:25] Speaker 1: That's impressive because his wife's small. over there and saying,
[1:51:31] Speaker 1: y'all are not sinners.
[1:51:33] Speaker 3: Well, you watch the Final Four. These guys are, what, 6'7, 6'8?
[1:51:38] Speaker 3: They only know how to play five feet and in.
[1:51:40] Speaker 2: Yeah, it ain't nine. That's what we got to start learning.
[1:51:44] Speaker 2: They're terrible at it, too.
[1:51:45] Speaker 3: And any time, even girls, it's different with girls because
[1:51:50] Speaker 3: they will stop growing. But if I meet a girl,
[1:51:52] Speaker 3: she's like 12, she's like my height, and I meet
[1:51:54] Speaker 3: their parents, I'm like, don't let her coach put her
[1:51:58] Speaker 3: in the paint.
[1:51:59] Speaker 2: Right, right.
[1:52:00] Speaker 3: She's probably the biggest girl out there.
[1:52:02] Speaker 2: That's what they're going to put her.
[1:52:04] Speaker 3: I said, okay, so if they do put her in
[1:52:05] Speaker 3: the paint, you got to just make sure that you're
[1:52:07] Speaker 3: working on her guard skills. Because she might not grow
[1:52:09] Speaker 3: no more. Or she will. And if she does grow,
[1:52:12] Speaker 3: then she's going to have guard skills. But they just
[1:52:14] Speaker 3: are so quick to throw the girl right in the paint.
[1:52:17] Speaker 3: And they just never get any better.
[1:52:19] Speaker 5: I'm saying with my little man, and my daughter as well,
[1:52:21] Speaker 5: they're going to be, no, we know.
[1:52:23] Speaker 1: Birth certificate. We're not doing that. They're with the ball.
[1:52:26] Speaker 3: The parents are always like, okay. I was like, I
[1:52:29] Speaker 3: already know they're doing it.
[1:52:31] Speaker 4: I've been sowing my seed overseas for a while, so
[1:52:33] Speaker 4: I should be getting some product return to start seeing
[1:52:36] Speaker 4: the fruits of my labor show up somewhere soon.
[1:52:40] Speaker 1: A little shot he starts to and you be like,
[1:52:43] Speaker 1: who is that? He looks like that boy. I told KJ. Boy,
[1:52:47] Speaker 1: that boy got a nose and all kind of shit.
[1:52:49] Speaker 2: I went over here. I went to Russia.
[1:52:52] Speaker 5: I knew I was over there. I told KJ, hey, man,
[1:52:56] Speaker 5: you need to go find you one of these. Hey, man,
[1:52:59] Speaker 5: go get a contract. We ain't even got to do
[1:53:02] Speaker 5: the deal. But if you want to, we can. But
[1:53:05] Speaker 5: we got a contract between us that says, hey, we're
[1:53:09] Speaker 5: going to mix this and this and We're going.
[1:53:13] Speaker 2: To get this. Trust me.
[1:53:15] Speaker 1: I know you like strippers.
[1:53:16] Speaker 2: I know you do. Them seeds. Them seeds. Them seeds
[1:53:20] Speaker 2: is a little smaller than a mole.
[1:53:23] Speaker 1: How tall is your daddy? How tall is your.
[1:53:26] Speaker 2: Volleyball, softball, basketball.
[1:53:27] Speaker 1: Stick with track.
[1:53:28] Speaker 2: Them 400 runners. There's a... We over here, you know,
[1:53:42] Speaker 2: twerking is cool. But you better strap it up. We
[1:53:46] Speaker 2: asked to chat. We're going to pay $ 30, 000 a month.
[1:53:48] Speaker 2: We're going to pay $ 30, 000 a month to a volleyball player. Absolutely. What?
[1:53:51] Speaker 2: I mean, we're going to pay $ 30, 000. Because we know
[1:53:54] Speaker 2: what happens. That child. I saw her jump. I saw
[1:53:57] Speaker 2: her spike that ball. Hey, my grandson is going to
[1:54:01] Speaker 2: be motherfucking jumping over the rim. That's OK. He was
[1:54:03] Speaker 2: at Sarah King watching volleyball games in high school. Like, nigga,
[1:54:06] Speaker 2: you don't like now one of them? No, no, no.
[1:54:09] Speaker 2: You know she dunk, right? You dunk, too, right? She dunks, too.
[1:54:15] Speaker 2: You know who we looking at? Yeah, who we looking at?
[1:54:17] Speaker 2: Michael Jordan mixed with LeBron James. Got a slasher. Giant him.
[1:54:22] Speaker 1: You know, I told you.
[1:54:23] Speaker 2: I said, you seen Liz Kay born? I'm like, yo,
[1:54:27] Speaker 2: she 6'8, man. She was up there working out at
[1:54:30] Speaker 2: Chris Johnson. I walked on the floor and looked her
[1:54:33] Speaker 2: eye to eye. I said, yo. KJ was over there
[1:54:37] Speaker 2: working out.
[1:54:37] Speaker 1: I said, hey, man.
[1:54:39] Speaker 2: Hey, man, listen. She looking me eye to eye at
[1:54:41] Speaker 2: that bitch, man. Could you tap that white girl on
[1:54:44] Speaker 2: the shoulder for me? Which one, the 6'5? No, the
[1:54:47] Speaker 2: one with good credit. That one.
[1:54:49] Speaker 1: This fool's stupid. Play driving record, good credit.
[1:54:52] Speaker 2: I need good insurance and good credit. I got me
[1:54:54] Speaker 2: a 6'5. If she 6'5, she cool.
[1:54:57] Speaker 1: She cool, she 6'5, long as her name is Becky.
[1:55:00] Speaker 2: I got a French that's 6'5.
[1:55:01] Speaker 1: Becky in the back with good credit.
[1:55:03] Speaker 6: So we asked to chat, is the media screwing Jokic
[1:55:06] Speaker 6: out of another MVP?
[1:55:07] Speaker 1: 63% say yes. Let's talk about another controversial situation going
[1:55:12] Speaker 1: on in the league. John Morant proven he is one
[1:55:14] Speaker 1: of the hardest players to guard in the league, but
[1:55:16] Speaker 1: he's also proven that he's hard-headed. Last week, John got
[1:55:19] Speaker 1: into some trouble with the league after him and Buddy
[1:55:21] Speaker 1: Hill were spotted doing finger guns at each other late
[1:55:24] Speaker 1: in the Grizzlies loss to the Warriors.
[1:55:25] Speaker 2: We had a.
[1:55:26] Speaker 6: Conversation about finger guns. Both players were warned by the
[1:55:29] Speaker 6: league not to do it again. They were both warned
[1:55:32] Speaker 6: by the league, John. The league said, chill out with
[1:55:34] Speaker 6: the finger guns.
[1:55:36] Speaker 2: That's insane to just hear you say that.
[1:55:38] Speaker 6: But just a few hours later, you can't be doing
[1:55:42] Speaker 6: the finger guns in the game, but just a few
[1:55:43] Speaker 6: hours later, Josh showed a blatant disregard for the league's
[1:55:45] Speaker 6: warning during the Grizzlies' win against the Heat. Let's take
[1:55:48] Speaker 6: a look. So after he hit this bucket in the
[1:55:52] Speaker 6: first quarter, he pulled out the celebration.
[1:55:56] Speaker 1: First quarter.
[1:55:58] Speaker 2: We got the screen grab, which is one of two
[1:56:00] Speaker 2: times he did it in the game.
[1:56:01] Speaker 1: Two times.
[1:56:03] Speaker 3: Yeah, don't listen.
[1:56:05] Speaker 1: Money is hell. An NBA fine for rent, $ 75, 000 for
[1:56:08] Speaker 1: both gestures. Ain't that what I said?
[1:56:10] Speaker 3: He got suspended?
[1:56:11] Speaker 1: No, I said they should have suspended him.
[1:56:12] Speaker 6: According to Shams, it hasn't escalated to that point, but
[1:56:16] Speaker 6: obviously the league is known to do what the league
[1:56:17] Speaker 6: is known to do. But as Memphis sports reporter Matt
[1:56:20] Speaker 6: Enfield pointed out, this celebration is nothing new for Ja.
[1:56:23] Speaker 1: We got some video.
[1:56:24] Speaker 3: Nothing new for anybody.
[1:56:25] Speaker 6: But he's done it several times over the past few
[1:56:28] Speaker 6: weeks with no issue.
[1:56:32] Speaker 2: In my skull.
[1:56:33] Speaker 6: That was a big bazooka. I think that was in
[1:56:35] Speaker 6: that Warriors game, too, with the Buddy Hill choice. Here
[1:56:37] Speaker 6: against the Celtics.
[1:56:44] Speaker 3: That wasn't a finger gun, though. That was a three-pointer.
[1:56:46] Speaker 1: He bought the beer at 1230. So he's just going
[1:56:50] Speaker 1: to point out all the times he's done it. We're
[1:56:52] Speaker 1: just saying he's done it with no issue.
[1:56:54] Speaker 2: League was fine. Had no problem with it. And also
[1:56:59] Speaker 2: point out that.
[1:57:01] Speaker 1: This form of celebration is common around the league.
[1:57:04] Speaker 2: Other players have done it as well.
[1:57:06] Speaker 3: Did you see the one who stopped?
[1:57:07] Speaker 6: Yeah, but in light of Joss Fines, other players are
[1:57:10] Speaker 6: starting to reconsider doing it. We have the video right here.
[1:57:13] Speaker 6: So let's take a look at that video. Uh, Pistons
[1:57:16] Speaker 6: guard Marcus Sasson.
[1:57:18] Speaker 2: Oh no. Young Dallas boy.
[1:57:19] Speaker 3: He said, oops.
[1:57:21] Speaker 2: Oopsie. He was so scared. I ain't doing it. I
[1:57:26] Speaker 2: ain't doing it. Listen, fucking head coach didn't want to
[1:57:30] Speaker 2: scare the shit out of us.
[1:57:32] Speaker 5: Damn the finger guns, shit y'all better not be doing.
[1:57:34] Speaker 5: He forgot like, oh shit, what is he looking at me?
[1:57:36] Speaker 5: Oh shit, he saw me. He loved the game. He
[1:57:38] Speaker 5: pulled it out, put it right back in. Police coming.
[1:57:41] Speaker 5: He loved the game.
[1:57:43] Speaker 2: My mama here. Let's get back to Ja.
[1:57:46] Speaker 6: Is the league unfairly targeting Ja Morant for the finger
[1:57:49] Speaker 6: gun celebration?
[1:57:50] Speaker 2: Yes. Can you just finger guns? Pew pew.
[1:57:53] Speaker 1: What did you just say? I said they unfairly targeted Ja.
[1:57:56] Speaker 5: So how many other people have gotten in trouble for
[1:57:57] Speaker 5: brandishing a firearm recently?
[1:58:00] Speaker 1: I have a question. That was a question.
[1:58:02] Speaker 2: It was a trap question too. No, that was a question.
[1:58:04] Speaker 1: I'm waiting on the answer. It was a bait question.
[1:58:06] Speaker 1: I'm waiting on the answer, Steve.
[1:58:07] Speaker 5: How many people have gotten in trouble for brandishing a firearm?
[1:58:10] Speaker 5: firearm lately in the NBA? Most recently, John Murray. I said,
[1:58:13] Speaker 5: how many other people? I didn't ask you that.
[1:58:15] Speaker 2: No other players presently. Thank you, Steve. You sure?
[1:58:17] Speaker 1: Because they scared him. I don't know. Brandishing a firearm
[1:58:20] Speaker 1: and winning, therefore.
[1:58:23] Speaker 2: No. Unfairly, no.
[1:58:26] Speaker 5: Keep fucking with these people, man. Yeah, keep fucking with
[1:58:28] Speaker 5: these people. Keep fucking with them. You're gonna find out
[1:58:29] Speaker 5: the hard way.
[1:58:30] Speaker 2: Hey, fuck around, find out, man.
[1:58:31] Speaker 1: So other people can do the finger guns celebration?
[1:58:33] Speaker 2: Yes, yeah.
[1:58:34] Speaker 1: But Jaquette?
[1:58:34] Speaker 2: Yeah, the same, yeah.
[1:58:35] Speaker 1: Because the other people never got caught.
[1:58:36] Speaker 5: Draymond Green, habitual. You habitual at this point. So there's
[1:58:41] Speaker 5: no difference in the behaviors. You punish one for one
[1:58:45] Speaker 5: doing something consistent, you gotta, so don't, so no.
[1:58:48] Speaker 3: Well, and obviously they're trying to make us, they're trying
[1:58:50] Speaker 3: to prove a point and he's.
[1:58:51] Speaker 2: Now like, I don't care. We can't do finger guns, Ellie? No,
[1:58:54] Speaker 2: it's just like. Well, you have to care because. It's
[1:58:55] Speaker 2: just like the NFL, it's just like the NFL took
[1:58:57] Speaker 2: CeeDee Lamb.
[1:58:58] Speaker 3: I agree, you should care, but he doesn't. So it's like,
[1:59:02] Speaker 3: what do you?
[1:59:02] Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like the NFL took CeeDee Lamb's celebration away, right?
[1:59:05] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:59:06] Speaker 1: Because it was mentioned in court.
[1:59:07] Speaker 3: I mean, it seems very childish, but you want to
[1:59:09] Speaker 3: play childish games.
[1:59:11] Speaker 2: Like, okay.
[1:59:12] Speaker 1: Believe me, I don't disagree. If the league calls, you say, hey,
[1:59:14] Speaker 1: don't do whatever it is.
[1:59:15] Speaker 2: Yeah, stop doing this. Just stop it.
[1:59:17] Speaker 1: And you go out right in the first quarter.
[1:59:18] Speaker 5: Not once, but twice. Then you go out and pew, pew. Like, yeah, you,
[1:59:22] Speaker 5: all right, okay.
[1:59:23] Speaker 2: This is 22. All right.
[1:59:26] Speaker 1: Jot this, jot that, all that shit.
[1:59:28] Speaker 2: Okay, cool.
[1:59:29] Speaker 1: Do you feel like the league is unfairly targeting you? Oh,
[1:59:32] Speaker 1: that's what he said.
[1:59:33] Speaker 2: Yeah. In his little tweet.
[1:59:34] Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen that.
[1:59:35] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:59:35] Speaker 3: It's starting to become, like.
[1:59:37] Speaker 1: You're playing victim.
[1:59:38] Speaker 2: It's a weird, it's so weird because even the, even the,
[1:59:45] Speaker 2: I don't even, I can't even saw the crime.
[1:59:47] Speaker 1: Even what he got in trouble for.
[1:59:48] Speaker 3: Right, it wasn't a crime.
[1:59:50] Speaker 2: It wasn't something aggressive for the gun thing to really
[1:59:53] Speaker 2: be an issue.
[1:59:55] Speaker 1: Right, it's not like there was.
[1:59:57] Speaker 2: This altercation that happened like mine. There was an altercation
[2:00:00] Speaker 2: in a locker room, right, where it's, Like, his stuff
[2:00:03] Speaker 2: is he's in a nightclub enjoying himself, and he shows it.
[2:00:06] Speaker 1: With a gun.
[2:00:07] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[2:00:07] Speaker 2: You know what I mean? In a strip club. Right?
[2:00:10] Speaker 1: There's nobody around.
[2:00:11] Speaker 2: It's just him and a stripper, and he's doing that.
[2:00:12] Speaker 1: And then he's in his car.
[2:00:14] Speaker 2: Right? You can go out of your way and say, oh,
[2:00:17] Speaker 2: this is wrong, and you do that. I don't see the.
[2:00:21] Speaker 1: The one in the car, I agree. Yes, absolutely. But
[2:00:23] Speaker 1: the one in the strip, it just, if you're going
[2:00:25] Speaker 1: to have it. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Anything
[2:00:27] Speaker 1: can happen.
[2:00:27] Speaker 2: That motherfucker fall. Next thing you know, you're going to bow, bow.
[2:00:30] Speaker 2: And it's just, now you've got a motherfucker body, right?
[2:00:32] Speaker 2: I get the what if, but because. It didn't happen, but.
[2:00:35] Speaker 2: Because there's no, it's not like somebody reported. It's not
[2:00:37] Speaker 2: like he got in trouble in the club. It's not like.
[2:00:40] Speaker 2: He reported it. He got arrested or something. This is
[2:00:42] Speaker 2: just his own doing.
[2:00:44] Speaker 1: No, it's.
[2:00:44] Speaker 2: It's his own doing. So it's like. It's over himself.
[2:00:49] Speaker 2: What he's doing is no different than somebody going to
[2:00:51] Speaker 2: the gun store and the gun thing and they're showing
[2:00:54] Speaker 2: pictures with guns. We think about the Chris Kamen with
[2:00:56] Speaker 2: the double hitters. It's not like there's this aggressive thing
[2:00:59] Speaker 2: that's attached to it.
[2:01:02] Speaker 7: I think he's gotten this self-sabotage.
[2:01:06] Speaker 3: You keep doing this to yourself.
[2:01:09] Speaker 4: It's the culture. Listen, John Morant is a victim of
[2:01:13] Speaker 4: the culture. This is what is happening with the music.
[2:01:17] Speaker 4: It's gun violence, right? We're trying to fight against things.
[2:01:20] Speaker 4: There's no violence, though.
[2:01:22] Speaker 2: But listen, I know there's not. No, no, no. With him. Memphis,
[2:01:24] Speaker 2: where he lives. No, I'm talking about his situation itself.
[2:01:31] Speaker 2: You can't just say gun violence and all. How is
[2:01:34] Speaker 2: he using it? Perception, Gil.
[2:01:36] Speaker 1: Because where he lives. Hip hop. Let's just say hip hop.
[2:01:39] Speaker 2: You say the younger generation looks up to Ja, right? Mm-hmm.
[2:01:42] Speaker 1: He sells shoes, right?
[2:01:43] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
[2:01:44] Speaker 1: Where he lives, In the city of Memphis, Tennessee. They
[2:01:50] Speaker 1: in a war.
[2:01:51] Speaker 2: It's turf war. The people dying daily out there. I
[2:01:55] Speaker 2: can't take that into consideration. You have to.
[2:01:57] Speaker 1: He's holding a gun up in the strip club.
[2:02:00] Speaker 2: Is he pointing at anybody?
[2:02:02] Speaker 5: It's the percent gift.
[2:02:04] Speaker 2: If he was in Texas, if he played for Dallas Cowboys,
[2:02:06] Speaker 2: I mean Dallas, you can carry guns, right? If he
[2:02:09] Speaker 2: go out there shooting hogs and doing that, that's fine.
[2:02:12] Speaker 2: He's hunting. Absolutely. It's legal. He's not in the strip
[2:02:16] Speaker 2: club dangling a gun like his mama's gun. I'm talking about.
[2:02:18] Speaker 5: The perception of this, listen, of this well-known athlete in
[2:02:23] Speaker 5: this city where gun violence is prevalent, right? In Memphis, Tennessee,
[2:02:28] Speaker 5: we got kids out here dying in the streets daily.
[2:02:32] Speaker 5: People putting switches on guns, dudes drive-by shoots. All these
[2:02:35] Speaker 5: things exist in this city where this particular guy plays.
[2:02:40] Speaker 2: These kids look up to him. Okay. They looking at it.
[2:02:44] Speaker 2: He's glorifying.
[2:02:46] Speaker 1: That's what they looking at. The kids are doing it now.
[2:02:49] Speaker 5: They're trying to nip it in the bud as much
[2:02:53] Speaker 5: as they can for this particular city, this particular athlete
[2:02:57] Speaker 5: that people are glorifying.
[2:02:59] Speaker 1: So you can go out there and go hunting. Yes,
[2:03:02] Speaker 1: it is.
[2:03:03] Speaker 2: But we ain't kids ain't dying in the street. In Texas?
[2:03:07] Speaker 1: We talking about in Memphis, Tennessee, Gil.
[2:03:11] Speaker 2: You're penalizing me because of the city? Yes. So you
[2:03:13] Speaker 2: can go out there and hunt and shoot shit. I
[2:03:15] Speaker 2: can get in trouble for laughing in my car. You
[2:03:18] Speaker 2: see how that is? In public with a firearm.
[2:03:21] Speaker 1: And you're shooting wild animals.
[2:03:23] Speaker 2: In the woods. You're in public with a firearm shooting shit.
[2:03:26] Speaker 2: Like you're literally endangering something because somebody can walk by
[2:03:29] Speaker 2: and get shot.
[2:03:29] Speaker 1: No, that's not how hunting happens, bro.
[2:03:31] Speaker 2: That's not how hunting happens. That's not how hunting happens.
[2:03:33] Speaker 2: People don't walk by and get shot.
[2:03:35] Speaker 1: So, Gil, so you have nobody got shot.
[2:03:37] Speaker 2: Are you not recognizing what I'm saying?
[2:03:39] Speaker 1: I'm recognizing what you said.
[2:03:40] Speaker 2: I'm recognizing you're using something that has nothing to do
[2:03:44] Speaker 2: with how he is portraying it. These are facts.
[2:03:46] Speaker 1: Who is portraying it? These are facts I'm talking about, Gil.
[2:03:49] Speaker 2: Go look at the murder rate in Memphis, Tennessee.
[2:03:50] Speaker 1: We can look at the murder rate in different ones.
[2:03:51] Speaker 2: Go look up everything else.
[2:03:52] Speaker 1: Go look up the murder rate in.
[2:03:52] Speaker 2: Memphis, Tennessee.
[2:03:53] Speaker 3: So you think if he was in a different market,
[2:03:54] Speaker 3: this would be handled differently?
[2:03:56] Speaker 2: Yes. I don't.
[2:03:57] Speaker 1: I think it's a culture thing. Like I said, it's
[2:03:59] Speaker 1: a culture thing. It's music.
[2:04:01] Speaker 2: It's music. It's influence. It's all of that.
[2:04:04] Speaker 3: Yeah, so if he was somewhere else.
[2:04:05] Speaker 2: The biggest thing in Memphis, nigga, Joe is... Dude, Joe
[2:04:09] Speaker 2: got it. Brother gets shit. It's dogs. It's a real
[2:04:12] Speaker 2: thing down there.
[2:04:13] Speaker 3: I understand, but I'm like, why are we.
[2:04:15] Speaker 2: I don't like it.
[2:04:17] Speaker 3: I don't think it's.
[2:04:18] Speaker 2: Fair to him, but it is what it is. Who
[2:04:19] Speaker 2: pulled out the gun yesterday?
[2:04:21] Speaker 1: Somebody pulled out a real gun?
[2:04:22] Speaker 2: No, no. Somebody did. I think.
[2:04:26] Speaker 1: Cool. He plays in Golden State. They actually said it.
[2:04:29] Speaker 1: He ain't never been in trouble.
[2:04:29] Speaker 4: Ja got fined $ 22, 000 for just getting fined. No, he
[2:04:33] Speaker 4: ain't never been in trouble before. Did he get warned?
[2:04:35] Speaker 4: He ain't never been in trouble. That's his point. He
[2:04:38] Speaker 4: never been... There ain't no.
[2:04:39] Speaker 1: What does it matter? It does.
[2:04:40] Speaker 2: It does. It's like Draymond. We've been talking about the
[2:04:43] Speaker 2: Draymond shit.
[2:04:43] Speaker 3: If they ban all of it, no one is for Ja.
[2:04:46] Speaker 2: It's all to be careful. Stop.
[2:04:48] Speaker 3: I think they should just be like.
[2:04:49] Speaker 2: No more. To all everybody. I agree. You can't just
[2:04:52] Speaker 2: point out somebody. I agree, but somebody has to be
[2:04:56] Speaker 2: the fucking poster child for it.
[2:04:58] Speaker 3: If this is what you're going to do, just stop
[2:04:59] Speaker 3: it all.
[2:05:00] Speaker 2: Somebody has to be the poster child. Absolutely. There's five
[2:05:01] Speaker 2: billion celebrations on Earth.
[2:05:02] Speaker 1: It's like the NFL said.
[2:05:03] Speaker 2: They didn't say, CeeDee Lamb, you can't do this no more.
[2:05:07] Speaker 2: They said this is just baby. So I'm with it.
[2:05:11] Speaker 1: If you're gonna stop one, let's stop them all from
[2:05:13] Speaker 1: doing it.
[2:05:13] Speaker 3: Because, yeah, they look like they're picking on Josh.
[2:05:15] Speaker 2: No, they ain't fucking picking on him. They are picking
[2:05:17] Speaker 2: on him. They gave him ammunition. He gave them bullets.
[2:05:20] Speaker 2: He literally gave them the bullets. He gave them the bullets.
[2:05:22] Speaker 2: So they're picking on him? So they fined him $ 75, 000
[2:05:24] Speaker 2: for nothing?
[2:05:26] Speaker 3: Because they're picking on him?
[2:05:27] Speaker 2: Did they fine him $ 75, 000 for nothing? Did they give
[2:05:29] Speaker 2: anybody a warning? Did they give Pazinski a warning? They
[2:05:32] Speaker 2: gave Buddy Hill and John Warren. Why did they suspend John?
[2:05:35] Speaker 1: Why did they suspend John Moran?
[2:05:37] Speaker 2: Why did they give John Warren?
[2:05:38] Speaker 1: Because him and Buddy Hill.
[2:05:39] Speaker 2: No, no. Why did they give him the warning? Fuck Buddy. Buddy, yeah.
[2:05:41] Speaker 2: Why did they give John?
[2:05:43] Speaker 1: Why did they give John? Because they already told him
[2:05:46] Speaker 1: to stop.
[2:05:47] Speaker 2: No, why did they give him the warning? Because he
[2:05:48] Speaker 2: has a history. Because he has a history.
[2:05:50] Speaker 1: So, exactly. So, why not Buddy?
[2:05:52] Speaker 2: He doesn't have a history. But he got a warning.
[2:05:55] Speaker 2: He doesn't have, because he did it with a guy.
[2:05:57] Speaker 2: That has history. That has the history. You see how
[2:05:59] Speaker 2: you're picking and choosing what you want. It's the same thing. No,
[2:06:01] Speaker 2: it's not. A first-time offender.
[2:06:04] Speaker 1: A first-time offender, Gil.
[2:06:06] Speaker 2: Me and him in the car. He get pulled over.
[2:06:08] Speaker 2: I ain't never been to jail. I'm a first-time offender.
[2:06:11] Speaker 2: Kenyon is gone because he done been there. Like, we
[2:06:13] Speaker 2: got to take him. If you don't like this. If
[2:06:15] Speaker 2: you don't.
[2:06:15] Speaker 1: Like one person doing it, then just ban it for everybody.
[2:06:18] Speaker 2: I'm saying yes. Yeah.
[2:06:22] Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why they're not doing that.
[2:06:24] Speaker 1: But that's not the case.
[2:06:25] Speaker 2: Because they're trying to make an example.
[2:06:26] Speaker 1: They will eventually, but.
[2:06:27] Speaker 3: They're trying to make an example, and it's not working.
[2:06:29] Speaker 3: What are they going to do?
[2:06:30] Speaker 4: Well, Kenyon's saying they're not trying to make an example.
[2:06:33] Speaker 4: He's put himself in the example position. They're not making
[2:06:36] Speaker 4: an example. They're just like the Shaq and.
[2:06:38] Speaker 2: The Fool shit, right? They're just like the Shaq and
[2:06:39] Speaker 2: the Fool shit with JaVale, right? But he's picking on me. No,
[2:06:43] Speaker 2: he's not fucking picking on him.
[2:06:45] Speaker 1: You're giving him the material.
[2:06:47] Speaker 2: It's the same thing with Ja. You're giving him material.
[2:06:49] Speaker 3: But the only reason why I'm saying they're picking on
[2:06:51] Speaker 3: him is because they don't like Ja doing it. They're
[2:06:53] Speaker 3: not saying that they don't like the gesture.
[2:06:55] Speaker 2: They don't like Ja doing the gesture. But if they.
[2:06:58] Speaker 3: Really felt so passionately about it, like how y'all were
[2:07:01] Speaker 3: talking about it, promoting violence and all that, and you
[2:07:03] Speaker 3: don't like the gesture, then you ban the whole thing.
[2:07:05] Speaker 2: If you don't like the gesture, you're saying yes. Right.
[2:07:07] Speaker 1: So don't you agree with me? But we wouldn't be here.
[2:07:11] Speaker 1: We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
[2:07:12] Speaker 2: But we are. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't
[2:07:15] Speaker 2: for Gil. You know why I said it's bullshit? I
[2:07:18] Speaker 2: literally watched the Olympics. We watched the Olympics. This man
[2:07:23] Speaker 2: did this. The whole fucking world did it. It was
[2:07:26] Speaker 2: fine then. But if Ja would have did it during
[2:07:29] Speaker 2: the same period, you got white little kids doing it,
[2:07:32] Speaker 2: you got Asian kids pointing the gun at you. People
[2:07:35] Speaker 2: don't ask your question.
[2:07:36] Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fine.
[2:07:37] Speaker 5: So was they picking on you when you would took
[2:07:38] Speaker 5: your ass out there and be at this? Was they
[2:07:40] Speaker 5: picking on you? Who no fucking league. No, they picking
[2:07:45] Speaker 5: on you. No, why you gave him the material, right?
[2:07:47] Speaker 1: Yes.
[2:07:48] Speaker 2: So because I had an aggressive. I had an aggressive gun.
[2:07:52] Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Yeah, what's the public feel that way?
[2:07:56] Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
[2:07:58] Speaker 1: It wasn't picking on you gave him.
[2:08:00] Speaker 2: The public feel like they were picking on you? This
[2:08:03] Speaker 2: was between me and another person.
[2:08:05] Speaker 1: This is an aggressive action.
[2:08:07] Speaker 2: And right this wasn't that we're talking about wasn't no
[2:08:11] Speaker 2: i was mocking him right what i'm saying he asked
[2:08:13] Speaker 2: him was they picking on you for doing that i'm
[2:08:16] Speaker 2: saying my gun issue itself was an aggressive act my
[2:08:21] Speaker 2: question jaws jaws thing wasn't aggressive it's no different than
[2:08:26] Speaker 2: anybody it wasn't an aggressive he's talking about the second
[2:08:29] Speaker 2: thing he's not saying that. Answer my question. What are
[2:08:33] Speaker 2: they picking on you? If I don't have the aggression?
[2:08:37] Speaker 2: What are they picking on you? Was the league picking
[2:08:39] Speaker 2: on you?
[2:08:39] Speaker 1: No, I purposely did it.
[2:08:41] Speaker 2: But you gave them the material, yes and no.
[2:08:42] Speaker 1: I purposely did it. But you gave them the material,
[2:08:44] Speaker 1: yes and no.
[2:08:45] Speaker 2: Yes.
[2:08:45] Speaker 1: So therefore they were not picking on you. I didn't
[2:08:47] Speaker 1: say they were.
[2:08:48] Speaker 2: John gave them the material. They're picking on him.
[2:08:49] Speaker 1: No, he gave them the material.
[2:08:50] Speaker 2: You're asking me. I'm telling you, were they picking on me?
[2:08:53] Speaker 1: Fuck no.
[2:08:53] Speaker 2: And he gave them the material. Are they picking on him? Yes. How?
[2:08:56] Speaker 2: I'm the only one that was in the situation. How?
[2:08:59] Speaker 2: Because mine was an aggressive act. Meaning we had a problem.
[2:09:04] Speaker 2: So you brought it up.
[2:09:05] Speaker 1: Yes, I brought it up.
[2:09:08] Speaker 2: But after the problem, you came back to the team, right?
[2:09:11] Speaker 2: After the problem. And then you did this. And then
[2:09:14] Speaker 2: you did this. Are y'all even trying to listen? I'm cool.
[2:09:17] Speaker 2: Y'all won. There's no winning. There's no winning. Because y'all
[2:09:21] Speaker 2: got to try not to hear nothing. We're hearing you.
[2:09:23] Speaker 2: Because if you're asking the person who was in the
[2:09:26] Speaker 2: situation first, and I'm saying with me, they did what
[2:09:29] Speaker 2: they're supposed to. With him, it's wrong. How? Tell us how.
[2:09:34] Speaker 1: Because it's not the same.
[2:09:35] Speaker 2: How? It's not the same. Because you're saying it's an
[2:09:37] Speaker 2: aggressive act or not an aggressive act.
[2:09:39] Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's an aggressive act or not.
[2:09:41] Speaker 2: He did it. He gave them the material. Yes. Everybody's
[2:09:44] Speaker 2: giving the material then. Posinski gave them the material. Does
[2:09:47] Speaker 2: he have a history of brandishing a firearm already? In public.
[2:09:50] Speaker 2: Twice or no? Twice. Everybody else does too. Do they
[2:09:54] Speaker 2: have a history of brandishing a firearm in public? Twice.
[2:09:57] Speaker 2: But again, him banishing the firearm, what did it do?
[2:10:02] Speaker 2: What was it for?
[2:10:03] Speaker 1: What was what for?
[2:10:04] Speaker 2: Him bringing the gun. What was the crime? It was
[2:10:09] Speaker 2: no crime. Stupidity. Stupidity is the crime. Stupidity. It was
[2:10:13] Speaker 2: no crime. It wasn't a crime in the state he
[2:10:15] Speaker 2: did it in Colorado. There was no crime. But yours
[2:10:18] Speaker 2: wasn't a crime either. Yes, it was. Yes. That's why
[2:10:21] Speaker 2: y'all are not listening. What he did was no crime.
[2:10:26] Speaker 2: So he is under every law like everybody else. It
[2:10:29] Speaker 2: wasn't a crime when he did it in the first time.
[2:10:30] Speaker 2: It wasn't a crime when he did it in the
[2:10:32] Speaker 2: second time. So technically what he did was no crime
[2:10:35] Speaker 2: for you to even be picking on him for doing
[2:10:37] Speaker 2: something everybody else is doing. So if it was a crime,
[2:10:40] Speaker 2: then he did. So why does it have to be
[2:10:42] Speaker 2: a crime to do something stupid.
[2:10:44] Speaker 1: Like hold a gun in public?
[2:10:45] Speaker 2: Just because it's not a crime don't mean it's not stupid.
[2:10:49] Speaker 2: You can go hunting and that's the.
[2:10:51] Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they can.
[2:10:52] Speaker 2: You can go to the gun range as well. Exactly.
[2:10:54] Speaker 2: It's legal. It's legal. Where he was, have a gun.
[2:10:58] Speaker 1: It's legal, yes. Yeah, he did.
[2:10:59] Speaker 2: We're telling you. But that doesn't... But if everybody thinks
[2:11:02] Speaker 2: it was not smart... It don't mean it's right. It
[2:11:04] Speaker 2: don't mean it's right.
[2:11:05] Speaker 3: And that's why it's.
[2:11:06] Speaker 2: I thought legal's right, illegal is wrong.
[2:11:10] Speaker 3: Right, and y'all saying he's dumb, which means that's why you're.
[2:11:12] Speaker 2: Picking on him. Say that again. Say it again.
[2:11:14] Speaker 1: You thought what was what and what was what. Legal
[2:11:17] Speaker 1: is right.
[2:11:17] Speaker 2: I have a gun right here and I'm in a
[2:11:19] Speaker 2: legal state.
[2:11:21] Speaker 3: It's right.
[2:11:21] Speaker 2: It's right. So what are we talking about here? Who
[2:11:24] Speaker 2: said he did anything?
[2:11:24] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
[2:11:26] Speaker 2: You want to be in the law because you want
[2:11:28] Speaker 2: to be fucking right. And that's moving to go. You
[2:11:30] Speaker 2: want to bring the law in this because you want
[2:11:32] Speaker 2: to be right. We ain't talking about this. Nobody said
[2:11:36] Speaker 2: he committed a crime. No one has said they committed
[2:11:39] Speaker 2: a crime. You brought that up in this conversation. We're
[2:11:42] Speaker 2: talking about him, the NBA, antics, and what led up
[2:11:46] Speaker 2: to them fining this boy $ 75, 000. This, that, and the law.
[2:11:50] Speaker 2: We're not talking about any crimes being committed. He can
[2:11:52] Speaker 2: have a pistol all the fuck he want. He lives
[2:11:55] Speaker 2: in Memphis, Tennessee. It's legal. Yes. All of these things.
[2:11:59] Speaker 2: If he took it on the road with him, his
[2:12:01] Speaker 2: fucking business. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't work for him
[2:12:07] Speaker 2: fucking self. He works for someone. A major billion trillion
[2:12:12] Speaker 2: dollar entity over here.
[2:12:13] Speaker 3: That's picking on him.
[2:12:15] Speaker 2: No, they're not.
[2:12:18] Speaker 5: So was the NBA picking on me when everything after
[2:12:20] Speaker 5: my flagrant two was a flagrant one?
[2:12:22] Speaker 1: Fucking no.
[2:12:24] Speaker 2: I gave them. I fucked people up.
[2:12:27] Speaker 1: They said stop fucking people.
[2:12:29] Speaker 2: Stop it.
[2:12:29] Speaker 1: Another aggressive act.
[2:12:31] Speaker 2: Another aggressive act.
[2:12:33] Speaker 1: We didn't do anything aggressive.
[2:12:35] Speaker 2: It's a flagrant not for somebody else.
[2:12:37] Speaker 1: You have to do something aggressive for you to get
[2:12:39] Speaker 1: penalized for it. Yeah, you're treating that as an aggression. Yeah,
[2:12:42] Speaker 1: he got penalized already. Move on. You keep doing it.
[2:12:45] Speaker 1: Doing what?
[2:12:45] Speaker 2: Doing what?
[2:12:47] Speaker 4: You keep antagonizing the action that you got penalized for.
[2:12:51] Speaker 2: You keep doing.
[2:12:52] Speaker 1: The shit like.
[2:12:53] Speaker 2: Exactly.
[2:12:54] Speaker 3: You try to make an example.
[2:12:56] Speaker 2: You're saying this.
[2:12:57] Speaker 4: When you shoot and you do it and you do
[2:12:59] Speaker 4: this after we penalize, you're saying, I don't give a
[2:13:01] Speaker 4: fuck about your penalty.
[2:13:02] Speaker 1: You're saying, I don't give a fuck about your penalty.
[2:13:04] Speaker 2: Right.
[2:13:04] Speaker 3: So ban it.
[2:13:05] Speaker 2: Even if it's banned, he's still going to do it.
[2:13:06] Speaker 3: But now if they ban it and he still does it.
[2:13:08] Speaker 2: What happens? What happens?
[2:13:10] Speaker 1: What's the conversation now? And I don't think they're picking
[2:13:13] Speaker 1: on him anymore. There's a fine for it.
[2:13:17] Speaker 3: If they ban it for everybody and he still does it,
[2:13:20] Speaker 3: then no. Now you're asking.
[2:13:21] Speaker 2: For a fine. But we just banned it for just
[2:13:23] Speaker 2: you and you still did it.
[2:13:24] Speaker 3: That's picking on somebody.
[2:13:26] Speaker 2: No, it's not. You're not even going to listen to
[2:13:27] Speaker 2: the total ban if you're not listening to the ban
[2:13:29] Speaker 2: about your damn self.
[2:13:30] Speaker 1: We just said, I don't do it.
[2:13:31] Speaker 3: If he's given the opportunity to not listen to the
[2:13:33] Speaker 3: total ban instead of picking on him and making him
[2:13:36] Speaker 3: go in defense mode, which is what he's been in
[2:13:39] Speaker 3: all year.
[2:13:39] Speaker 5: They put a dress code in for us, right? When
[2:13:41] Speaker 5: I was in the league, they put a dress code in.
[2:13:44] Speaker 1: Suits.
[2:13:45] Speaker 3: Right?
[2:13:45] Speaker 1: Sport coat, casual, business casual is what they called it.
[2:13:49] Speaker 2: Yes. Right? Must. Must. Must. Right? Okay.
[2:13:54] Speaker 1: And there was one guy who they tried to make
[2:13:56] Speaker 1: an example out of.
[2:13:57] Speaker 2: Yeah. One guy, right?
[2:13:58] Speaker 3: One person.
[2:13:58] Speaker 1: But they made it league wide.
[2:14:01] Speaker 2: Right. League-wide. Were they picking on him? Yes.
[2:14:05] Speaker 3: No, because they made it league-wide.
[2:14:07] Speaker 2: What if they were like, you have to wear a suit, everybody.
[2:14:10] Speaker 3: Else can wear regular clothes. You're getting picked on.
[2:14:13] Speaker 1: But they didn't do that. They put it league-wide, right?
[2:14:15] Speaker 5: So if they make it league-wide, there's no issues here.
[2:14:19] Speaker 5: So there's a fine for it.
[2:14:20] Speaker 3: Well, then you're picking on him.
[2:14:23] Speaker 1: Unless you're fining everybody. Unless you're giving a warning.
[2:14:25] Speaker 2: If they came out with, but Zizzy got a warning today,
[2:14:26] Speaker 2: then we're fine.
[2:14:27] Speaker 3: You got to find all the finger guns.
[2:14:29] Speaker 2: Find them all.
[2:14:30] Speaker 3: You get a fine.
[2:14:32] Speaker 1: A very passionate conversation about finger guns, but we asked
[2:14:34] Speaker 1: the chat, is the league unfairly targeting Ja?
[2:14:36] Speaker 4: Showing up with the shit on. Was they picking on Chuck?
[2:14:40] Speaker 4: When Chuck just said, I'm not wearing a suit until
[2:14:42] Speaker 4: I go to the funeral. So therefore, what the man
[2:14:45] Speaker 4: did was send him a blank check, right? So if
[2:14:47] Speaker 4: Ja wants his band, if he want to continue the behavior,
[2:14:50] Speaker 4: send him a check.
[2:14:52] Speaker 2: Fine, every time I do it. Continue to do you.
[2:14:55] Speaker 2: That's fine, young man. We're not telling you anything.
[2:14:59] Speaker 5: We're telling you don't fucking cry when they hit you
[2:15:02] Speaker 5: with pockets, that's all.
[2:15:04] Speaker 2: They told you not to do it. And you did it.
[2:15:06] Speaker 2: Don't fucking bitch and complain when they fucking find you.
[2:15:08] Speaker 1: And we not picking on you. Or when they suspend you.
[2:15:10] Speaker 2: Ain't nobody fucking picking on you.
[2:15:12] Speaker 1: We just told you to do some shit.
[2:15:13] Speaker 2: You didn't do it. That's all.
[2:15:14] Speaker 1: It's like a badass kid.
[2:15:15] Speaker 2: I told you to go fucking clean your room. Don't
[2:15:18] Speaker 2: feel they.
[2:15:18] Speaker 3: Said, you can't do these anymore. And then you watching
[2:15:20] Speaker 3: the entire opposing team.
[2:15:22] Speaker 2: I got in trouble for it, though. But I already
[2:15:25] Speaker 2: served my punishment for it. No, you haven't.
[2:15:28] Speaker 5: So we think the rules are different for everybody. We
[2:15:29] Speaker 5: think the same shit applies to everybody.
[2:15:31] Speaker 3: This is so stupid.
[2:15:33] Speaker 2: What did he get suspended for?
[2:15:36] Speaker 1: Conduct detrimental to his team. Now that becomes my problem.
[2:15:39] Speaker 1: Conduct detrimental to his team. Or the league, rather.
[2:15:41] Speaker 2: And then you keep doing the same thing that you
[2:15:44] Speaker 2: got suspended for. No, you didn't. No, I'm not saying that.
[2:15:46] Speaker 2: He didn't do anything illegal. He didn't do anything illegal.
[2:15:49] Speaker 1: He did not get suspended for 19.
[2:15:54] Speaker 3: Finger guns in the game.
[2:15:55] Speaker 2: So what does this look like?
[2:15:56] Speaker 1: Does this look like I'm trying to put a gun
[2:15:58] Speaker 1: in my hands and pretend that I have guns? Am
[2:16:02] Speaker 1: I pretending that I have guns, Lex? Okay, thank you.
[2:16:05] Speaker 6: So we asked the chat, is the league unfairly targeting Ja? 48%
[2:16:09] Speaker 6: said yes, 52% said no. Let's talk about some positive, though.
[2:16:12] Speaker 6: In addition to multiple finger gun sellies, Ja also came
[2:16:15] Speaker 6: through in the clutch.
[2:16:16] Speaker 1: Let's take a look at that. We got the yin
[2:16:19] Speaker 1: and yang. We got a... We got to talk about
[2:16:21] Speaker 1: the finger guns. We also got to talk.
[2:16:22] Speaker 6: About Ja hitting this game winner over he big man
[2:16:25] Speaker 6: Khalil Ware to get the Grizzlies to win.
[2:16:28] Speaker 2: He should have shotgunned him up.
[2:16:32] Speaker 1: That's what you're supposed to do. So Ja had 30
[2:16:34] Speaker 1: in the game.
[2:16:35] Speaker 2: If you're going to do it, right? If you're going
[2:16:37] Speaker 2: to do it, this is when you fucking blow his
[2:16:40] Speaker 2: goddamn head off, right?
[2:16:43] Speaker 1: If you're going to do it, blow his goddamn head
[2:16:45] Speaker 1: off right now.
[2:16:46] Speaker 2: Metaphor. You know what?
[2:16:47] Speaker 1: He's just going to aim it down, shoot him at
[2:16:49] Speaker 1: the ankle.
[2:16:49] Speaker 2: All right. No, I'm saying if you're going to make
[2:16:51] Speaker 2: a statement, look, it's white.
[2:16:52] Speaker 1: Hey, that would, hey, boom, nigga, like, right? If you
[2:16:55] Speaker 1: start shooting people at the shoot, shooting at the shoot,
[2:16:58] Speaker 1: shooting at the shoot.
[2:16:59] Speaker 3: I think it's too high.
[2:17:01] Speaker 2: I think it's too high. I think it's too high.
[2:17:04] Speaker 2: Aiming at people's feet. Yeah, shoot the feet, man.
[2:17:06] Speaker 3: That's how you blow people's heads off.
[2:17:07] Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want to see that shit. Dance, motherfucker, dance, dance.
[2:17:11] Speaker 1: So Ja had 30 in the game. You know what?
[2:17:14] Speaker 2: He should start doing, he should start making sounds. Pew, pew. Yeah,
[2:17:17] Speaker 2: you got it.
[2:17:18] Speaker 1: Pew, pew, so they know it's not me.
[2:17:20] Speaker 2: Water pistol.
[2:17:20] Speaker 6: It's a Nerf gun. Little pencil starter. But Ja had
[2:17:24] Speaker 6: 30 in the game. Grizzlies got the win over the Heat.
[2:17:26] Speaker 6: Grizzlies also got a win over the Pistons to try
[2:17:28] Speaker 6: and stay out of the play. I think they're currently
[2:17:30] Speaker 6: eighth in the West right now. Still trying to avoid it. Afterwards,
[2:17:33] Speaker 6: Ja had this to say about his game-winning bucket.
[2:17:35] Speaker 3: Take me through what you saw on that final possession.
[2:17:38] Speaker 1: A pigeon guard me.
[2:17:40] Speaker 2: Go get a bucket, win the game.
[2:17:42] Speaker 3: The way you're answering that and the energy we had
[2:17:44] Speaker 3: in this game, this one felt personal.
[2:17:46] Speaker 2: What was different about this one? The crowd getting to
[2:17:48] Speaker 2: booing me. They just woke me up for the second half,
[2:17:51] Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure they ain't happy going home now.
[2:17:56] Speaker 1: A pigeon guarding me.
[2:18:00] Speaker 3: This situation has made him a bit jaded. I don't
[2:18:03] Speaker 3: like it.
[2:18:03] Speaker 2: What is a pigeon?
[2:18:05] Speaker 1: I asked before the show.
[2:18:06] Speaker 3: I also didn't know what a pigeon is. I know
[2:18:09] Speaker 3: what a pigeon is, but I've never heard it used
[2:18:11] Speaker 3: in that context before. So what does it mean?
[2:18:16] Speaker 1: I guess it's about they can't move their feet.
[2:18:18] Speaker 3: Because pigeons just be in the way.
[2:18:22] Speaker 6: I thought it was a pigeon that has girls walking
[2:18:24] Speaker 6: by trying to get into the whip, but her feet
[2:18:26] Speaker 6: are hurting.
[2:18:27] Speaker 2: Oh, I thought a pigeon was just the sack chasers
[2:18:30] Speaker 2: out there looking for crumbs on the ground. Yeah.
[2:18:33] Speaker 1: Oh, it's like little pigeons. I don't want no pigeons. Oh,
[2:18:36] Speaker 1: you got another. I was just, I.
[2:18:38] Speaker 3: Literally imagined the pigeons that be like in New York
[2:18:40] Speaker 3: and they just never move.
[2:18:42] Speaker 2: Even when you.
[2:18:43] Speaker 3: Chase them, they're like, no. They like movies so much.
[2:18:47] Speaker 1: You know, eagles fly high. They get their food.
[2:18:49] Speaker 2: Pigeons, they need to be fed.
[2:18:50] Speaker 1: You know, you go feed a little bird.
[2:18:53] Speaker 2: A little Instagram model.
[2:18:54] Speaker 1: I don't get the reference. I'm going to be honest.
[2:18:56] Speaker 2: I'm lost.
[2:18:57] Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still. Just somebody who ain't good.
[2:18:58] Speaker 2: I think he was just saying shit. Let me be honest.
[2:19:00] Speaker 2: I remember that somebody. Yeah, yeah. Oh, he basically said
[2:19:04] Speaker 2: he a bird. He just out there. He's a bird brain.
[2:19:07] Speaker 1: He did have pigeon looking legs too, though. I still
[2:19:10] Speaker 1: don't know.
[2:19:11] Speaker 2: He's 7'2.
[2:19:11] Speaker 3: I've never heard that before.
[2:19:14] Speaker 5: But he meant penguin. That's what I thought. To me,
[2:19:17] Speaker 5: that made more sense.
[2:19:18] Speaker 2: A penguin?
[2:19:19] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:19:20] Speaker 2: A penguin.
[2:19:21] Speaker 5: To me, that made more sense, but I'm not. That's
[2:19:23] Speaker 5: young shit, I guess. I'm not hip, so. He said it, too.
[2:19:26] Speaker 1: I don't see a penguin or a penguin. Some of
[2:19:28] Speaker 1: us are up. He ought to have been.
[2:19:30] Speaker 2: Like, what do you mean by that?
[2:19:31] Speaker 3: That's why I can't be yourself.
[2:19:32] Speaker 2: I see that energy in you. I gotta go. Wrap
[2:19:34] Speaker 2: it up. One question. He would have said that shit.
[2:19:44] Speaker 2: And back to you, Dick. And back to you. Great win.
[2:19:46] Speaker 2: Great win, Doc. Got to be back.
[2:19:50] Speaker 1: Hey, let's take it back to the studio. Producers, producers,
[2:19:54] Speaker 1: drop them. Take it back.
[2:19:56] Speaker 2: Take it back. Take it back. He's still on first
[2:19:58] Speaker 2: quarter energy. Reel it in. Reel it in, Taylor. He
[2:20:01] Speaker 2: know he about to get hit with that 75,000.
[2:20:03] Speaker 3: Reel it in, Taylor.
[2:20:04] Speaker 6: Taylor, take the cues. So Jay Crowder broke this down.
[2:20:08] Speaker 6: Producers dropped this in the doc for me. He said
[2:20:10] Speaker 6: the terms duck and pigeon are NBA terms used to
[2:20:12] Speaker 6: describe a weak defender.
[2:20:14] Speaker 1: You want to attack.
[2:20:15] Speaker 2: This is a new terminology? They said, fuck y'all lingo.
[2:20:19] Speaker 2: We said we got our own lingo now.
[2:20:20] Speaker 3: A duck?
[2:20:21] Speaker 2: A duck and a pigeon. Oh, so like duck hunt
[2:20:24] Speaker 2: for him. He got the gun. We can spin this
[2:20:28] Speaker 2: any kind of way. You shoot ducks and pigeons. So
[2:20:32] Speaker 2: what was our turn when we? What was the turn for?
[2:20:37] Speaker 1: That's weak. A duck and a pigeon. Yeah, what was
[2:20:40] Speaker 1: it for? Weak defender. Weak defender. Squeeze that lemon.
[2:20:45] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:20:49] Speaker 1: Oh shit.
[2:20:49] Speaker 2: We just, we just going to be a man. Go
[2:20:52] Speaker 2: at him. Yeah.
[2:20:53] Speaker 1: Go man.

[2:21:22] Speaker 2: All right, we got one more thing we're going to
[2:21:23] Speaker 2: talk about before we go.
[2:21:24] Speaker 1: Two, mostly fans.
[2:21:26] Speaker 6: So after the highs and lows during your five seasons
[2:21:28] Speaker 6: at UConn.
[2:21:29] Speaker 2: You should use that. When you're cooking. Oh, she's sweet.
[2:21:32] Speaker 2: See what happens. Okay.
[2:21:35] Speaker 1: Let's talk a little.
[2:21:37] Speaker 2: You might get hit on. You might get hit on.
[2:21:39] Speaker 1: Yeah, she might get hit.
[2:21:41] Speaker 2: They might kiss her right in the palm.
[2:21:44] Speaker 3: Moving on.
[2:21:45] Speaker 1: Lexi, bring finger guns to the WNBA, please.
[2:21:47] Speaker 2: Please.
[2:21:47] Speaker 1: I'll pay the fine. I'll pay the fine.
[2:21:49] Speaker 2: You know what? Don't shoot them. Just put them back in. Ooh,
[2:21:55] Speaker 2: if you holster it. Just holster it.
[2:21:56] Speaker 1: You can't get fined for the holster. Nah, you can't
[2:21:58] Speaker 1: get fined for that.
[2:21:58] Speaker 2: I'm being serious.
[2:21:58] Speaker 1: Put him away. After you shoot it, just.
[2:22:00] Speaker 2: Ooh.
[2:22:01] Speaker 1: Hold the permit. Hold the permit while you have it.
[2:22:03] Speaker 2: Sot. Huh? Put it away. Take the shotgun off your back.
[2:22:07] Speaker 2: Put it back in. Nah, don't do the shot. No,
[2:22:09] Speaker 2: do not listen to him. That is going to get
[2:22:10] Speaker 2: you suspended. Especially if you pull it. You start pulling
[2:22:13] Speaker 2: the rocket off your head. Yeah. They did the bow
[2:22:16] Speaker 2: and arrow, Joy. Why not? That was cool. They did
[2:22:18] Speaker 2: the bow and arrow. Dangerous weapon. Pull that motherfucker out.
[2:22:21] Speaker 3: You think if he does a bow and arrow, they'll
[2:22:23] Speaker 3: find him?
[2:22:24] Speaker 2: No, it's going to be the same thing.
[2:22:25] Speaker 1: It looks the same. For him, it's a gun.
[2:22:28] Speaker 2: For him, it's a gun.
[2:22:29] Speaker 1: If they find for the grenade. Any weapon.
[2:22:31] Speaker 2: Any weapon.
[2:22:32] Speaker 1: Any weapon. You can't do nothing. You got to find
[2:22:34] Speaker 1: the loophole. He better throw a rock.
[2:22:38] Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, he should go ancestry. So is this
[2:22:40] Speaker 2: not shooting yourself in the head? Three to the dome.
[2:22:43] Speaker 1: Mellow joint, three to the dome. But yeah, see, this
[2:22:45] Speaker 1: is different.
[2:22:56] Speaker 2: All right, so I'm just saying, I mean, because I
[2:22:58] Speaker 2: know he wants to keep doing it because it's just
[2:23:00] Speaker 2: part of the celebration.
[2:23:01] Speaker 1: He just needs to think of new weapons.
[2:23:03] Speaker 2: Like you told me, let's go back to the good.
[2:23:05] Speaker 1: It's a Spider-Man.
[2:23:06] Speaker 2: Just go back to Spider-Man. See, we're finding Lupo. It's
[2:23:11] Speaker 2: a Spider-Man. After the shot. Now I see why we
[2:23:14] Speaker 2: are not on the bench. Because, yeah, we would just
[2:23:17] Speaker 2: change it. Change it, bro. The Goliath.
[2:23:19] Speaker 1: Hit him with the Goliath.
[2:23:20] Speaker 2: Spider-Man it, man. Just kidding. You got to take the
[2:23:25] Speaker 2: gun from the other dude. Donovan Mitchell, start Spider-Webbing these motherfuckers.
[2:23:29] Speaker 1: Spider-Man.
[2:23:44] Speaker 2: Man, they'll test that nigga after every game. They'll drug
[2:23:49] Speaker 2: test him after the game. He's going to shoot motherfucking
[2:23:51] Speaker 2: spiderwebs out that bitch, man. His fan base will go
[2:23:55] Speaker 2: up like a motherfucker, though.
[2:23:56] Speaker 7: Go watch some Marvel movies and go see what all
[2:23:59] Speaker 7: they're doing.
[2:24:00] Speaker 2: Adidas. Oh, my God.
[2:24:01] Speaker 1: Y'all are so slow.
[2:24:03] Speaker 2: I just thought about it.
[2:24:03] Speaker 1: How come y'all haven't came out with the Spider-Man? Spider-Man.
[2:24:06] Speaker 2: Spiders.
[2:24:07] Speaker 1: Spider-Man's nice. I'm giving away shit you.
[2:24:09] Speaker 2: Can sell, Gil. Playoff version, give you a Spider-Man version.
[2:24:12] Speaker 2: Give a Spider-Man edition.
[2:24:13] Speaker 3: Well, they poured, he's Adidas.
[2:24:14] Speaker 2: Especially All-Star Weekend. What?
[2:24:16] Speaker 3: They poured all their resources into Anthony Edwards, clearly.
[2:24:19] Speaker 2: Yes, they did. Great commercial.
[2:24:20] Speaker 3: Oh, I love him, but Donovan Mitchell is.
[2:24:23] Speaker 2: Even you could get it.
[2:24:23] Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell is like.
[2:24:26] Speaker 2: Spider-Man. Spider-Man is so easy.
[2:24:31] Speaker 1: We been did that, dog.
[2:24:32] Speaker 2: Was that that commercial?
[2:24:33] Speaker 1: Reebok commercial.
[2:24:34] Speaker 2: Who done it?
[2:24:35] Speaker 1: Yeah, we been did that.
[2:24:36] Speaker 2: That's what I was talking about, right?
[2:24:37] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:24:38] Speaker 6: We got one more thing to talk about before we
[2:24:39] Speaker 6: get to mostly fans. So, after highs and lows during
[2:24:41] Speaker 6: her five seasons at UConn, Paige Beckers ended her career
[2:24:44] Speaker 6: on a high note. Helping lead the Huskies to their
[2:24:46] Speaker 6: 12th national championship, first in the last nine years, blowout
[2:24:49] Speaker 6: win over South Carolina. Becker's got revenge for the 2022
[2:24:52] Speaker 6: title game loss to South Carolina, UConn's first loss in
[2:24:55] Speaker 6: a natty game after winning the previous 11. We also
[2:24:58] Speaker 6: got to give some love to AZ Fudd, who was
[2:25:00] Speaker 6: named the tournament's most outstanding player, and Sarah Strong, who
[2:25:03] Speaker 6: did work in her freshman season, putting up 24 points,
[2:25:05] Speaker 6: 15 rebounds against South Carolina. So it was Becker's fourth
[2:25:09] Speaker 6: Final Four, second championship game appearance in her college career,
[2:25:12] Speaker 6: which was marred by knee injuries. sidelined her for half
[2:25:14] Speaker 6: her sophomore year and all of what would have been
[2:25:16] Speaker 6: her junior season.
[2:25:18] Speaker 1: So after UConn lost to Iowa last season.
[2:25:19] Speaker 6: Beckers opted to come back for her senior year to
[2:25:21] Speaker 6: finish the job. Now leaves as the only player in
[2:25:24] Speaker 6: college history to defeat six number one seeds in the
[2:25:27] Speaker 6: NCAA tournament. We got a little bit of video, Lexi,
[2:25:29] Speaker 6: I know you're on the ground in Tampa. So Beckers
[2:25:32] Speaker 6: and UConn head coach Gina Ariema shared a moment late
[2:25:35] Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter she subbed out for the final
[2:25:36] Speaker 6: game of her college career. After the win, Ariema was
[2:25:41] Speaker 6: asked What will Paige most be remembered for and said?
[2:25:45] Speaker 6: Paige's journey has been the most incredible for any kid
[2:25:48] Speaker 6: that I've had. I think obviously everything she's been through.
[2:25:51] Speaker 6: But Lexi, for you, you're out there in Tampa, got
[2:25:54] Speaker 6: to see UConn win their 12th national championship.
[2:25:56] Speaker 2: Paige Becker go out on top.
[2:25:58] Speaker 6: How cool was it for you to see Paige have
[2:26:00] Speaker 6: that moment to end her college career.
[2:26:01] Speaker 3: It was amazing. I feel like every, the whole, I mean,
[2:26:04] Speaker 3: we love Dawn. We love South Carolina. We love everything
[2:26:07] Speaker 3: that that team has done, especially those seniors. Like I
[2:26:10] Speaker 3: feel like still, they still have not gotten enough appreciation
[2:26:13] Speaker 3: or love for what they did for South Carolina in
[2:26:16] Speaker 3: their careers. But I generally felt like everybody was rooting
[2:26:19] Speaker 3: for Paige because she's been through so much and her
[2:26:23] Speaker 3: resume speaks for itself. The only thing she was missing
[2:26:25] Speaker 3: was that national championship. So it was just really nice to,
[2:26:29] Speaker 3: for her to be able to experience that. And it
[2:26:32] Speaker 3: was like, she was like our first, she was like
[2:26:34] Speaker 3: first superstar that like I personally have like seen like
[2:26:37] Speaker 3: grow up. So I'm like, it's just a crazy feeling
[2:26:41] Speaker 3: to watch someone that you've seen front and center since
[2:26:44] Speaker 3: she's been like 16, 17 years old. And now she's
[2:26:46] Speaker 3: about to come play with us over the summer. Like,
[2:26:49] Speaker 3: it's like a really beautiful, like full circle moment for
[2:26:51] Speaker 3: me personally. So I'm just really happy that she's able
[2:26:54] Speaker 3: to get her championship for sure.
[2:26:57] Speaker 6: Seeing Paige, everything she's been through, we've all, you've all
[2:27:00] Speaker 6: experienced injuries in your career. To come back, miss a
[2:27:03] Speaker 6: whole season because of a knee injury, miss half of
[2:27:04] Speaker 6: a season because of a knee injury after being, I think, what,
[2:27:06] Speaker 6: National Player of the Year or Freshman of the Year.
[2:27:08] Speaker 3: Yeah, like her trajectory.
[2:27:09] Speaker 1: She's the only freshman I did ever.
[2:27:10] Speaker 3: Her trajectory was crazy.
[2:27:11] Speaker 1: Supposed to be, you know, the one, obviously, Kayla Clark
[2:27:15] Speaker 1: and others have now come and kind of.
[2:27:16] Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, ever since she was, what, 15?
[2:27:20] Speaker 2: She's been on, I mean, how many gold medals does
[2:27:22] Speaker 2: she have for just, you know, 15U, 16U, 17U, 18U, 19U, right?
[2:27:28] Speaker 2: She was, you know, Miss, you know, because her class
[2:27:30] Speaker 2: is last year's. That's her actual original class. So, you know,
[2:27:34] Speaker 2: she was the queen of the 2020 class and, you know, injuries, etc. back.
[2:27:41] Speaker 1: You know, I mean, Kaitlyn, you know, went.
[2:27:43] Speaker 2: From, what, fourth to the number one player. Yeah, that's great.
[2:27:46] Speaker 1: That's 2020 class. You know, from that class. But you
[2:27:48] Speaker 1: can see.
[2:27:49] Speaker 2: How important that class was to just basketball itself. And
[2:27:52] Speaker 2: I think just her finishing her career, her college career,
[2:27:57] Speaker 2: the way she kind of started it is... I mean,
[2:27:59] Speaker 2: I know she's happy about it now. She can go
[2:28:01] Speaker 2: in and, you know, join the rest of her class
[2:28:03] Speaker 2: and see if she can, you know, turn that into something,
[2:28:06] Speaker 2: you know, her rookie year. I don't like going out
[2:28:09] Speaker 2: on top.
[2:28:10] Speaker 5: From struggling, injury, like you guys stated, stick with it,
[2:28:17] Speaker 5: not follow what everybody else is doing and this portal
[2:28:21] Speaker 5: thing and it's easier to leave when things get tough.
[2:28:24] Speaker 5: I need a fresh start, all these things, how people do,
[2:28:27] Speaker 5: but No, to be able to stick it out where
[2:28:30] Speaker 5: you started with, man, and go out on top, I'm
[2:28:32] Speaker 5: pretty sure is an amazing feeling for her, her family,
[2:28:35] Speaker 5: University of Connecticut. Yeah, so a shout out to Paige
[2:28:40] Speaker 5: and her family, man. I'm pretty sure she's going to
[2:28:42] Speaker 5: do fine in the W. Skillset, travels, she's had that.
[2:28:47] Speaker 2: So yeah.
[2:28:48] Speaker 1: Rashad, you've won a national championship yourself. What's that feeling like?
[2:28:53] Speaker 6: Obviously be on the biggest stage, all eyes of the
[2:28:55] Speaker 6: world watching you to be able to get that done,
[2:28:57] Speaker 6: bring a banner.
[2:28:59] Speaker 1: Back to your school.
[2:29:04] Speaker 2: What's it feeling like?
[2:29:08] Speaker 1: Like mission accomplished, like job well done, you know.
[2:29:15] Speaker 4: Next step, next level. Being grateful, thankful of all the opportunities,
[2:29:23] Speaker 4: but just looking ahead. I think she's been looking ahead
[2:29:25] Speaker 4: for a while. But the setbacks, you know, it's set
[2:29:29] Speaker 4: up a real stage for a comeback. So I think
[2:29:34] Speaker 4: for her and her expectations that she had early on
[2:29:39] Speaker 4: is going to set her up just like Juju and
[2:29:41] Speaker 4: her recent injury. It sets you up for a big
[2:29:43] Speaker 4: comeback where you have to now use that grit and
[2:29:47] Speaker 4: that championship determination and to show people what you can
[2:29:50] Speaker 4: really do. Winning the championship is always a culmination of
[2:29:54] Speaker 4: hard work and everything you put into the game from
[2:29:57] Speaker 4: strategy to game plan, all that stuff. I think Gino
[2:30:01] Speaker 4: does a great job getting those girls ready every year.
[2:30:03] Speaker 4: They came up short the last few years. So for
[2:30:06] Speaker 4: them to get there now shows Gino can still get
[2:30:09] Speaker 4: girls to buy into the system and win.
[2:30:13] Speaker 1: Oh, and they're young.
[2:30:14] Speaker 2: They got young.
[2:30:17] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[2:30:17] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:30:18] Speaker 1: They got some of us coming next year. I don't
[2:30:20] Speaker 1: know if people realize, but.
[2:30:24] Speaker 2: COVID did a lot for sports.
[2:30:26] Speaker 3: So much. changed the whole landscape of it.
[2:30:28] Speaker 2: Yeah, it changed the whole landscape of sports because it just...
[2:30:33] Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, he would have probably been the second
[2:30:35] Speaker 2: or third pick last year, no matter what, but... The
[2:30:38] Speaker 2: fact that the COVID year actually allowed her to come
[2:30:41] Speaker 2: back to one more year for her to be able
[2:30:44] Speaker 2: to call herself a champion.
[2:30:46] Speaker 1: Or it still would have been the conversation. It would
[2:30:47] Speaker 1: have been last year.
[2:30:48] Speaker 2: There's a lot of players.
[2:30:50] Speaker 1: She still would have been in the conversation for.
[2:30:52] Speaker 2: Number one last year.
[2:30:54] Speaker 1: No, no, no.
[2:30:54] Speaker 2: Who they taking? Who they taking? Who they taking? But
[2:30:56] Speaker 2: I'm just saying that because of COVID, she gets to
[2:30:59] Speaker 2: be considered a champion now.
[2:31:01] Speaker 1: Absolutely. And just for a lot of people out there,
[2:31:04] Speaker 1: that one year.
[2:31:06] Speaker 2: It actually changed the whole landscape, allowed people to get champions, right,
[2:31:11] Speaker 2: that they probably wouldn't have got if it had just
[2:31:13] Speaker 2: been a normal four years. Absolutely.
[2:31:15] Speaker 3: And everybody was watching because there was nothing else going on.
[2:31:17] Speaker 1: You know, fate is fate, man. You know, for some people.
[2:31:19] Speaker 2: Wouldn't it just be a red shirt year for her, though?
[2:31:22] Speaker 1: I think she could.
[2:31:24] Speaker 2: Have had a red shirt year.
[2:31:25] Speaker 1: She got the red shirt year.
[2:31:27] Speaker 3: I think she could have had one more year.
[2:31:29] Speaker 1: She could have had one more year if she wanted to.
[2:31:31] Speaker 2: But that's over now. What is the COVID year is
[2:31:33] Speaker 2: one year. That's it. And then you get the red shirt.
[2:31:36] Speaker 1: You got a medical red shirt.
[2:31:38] Speaker 2: She missed the whole season.
[2:31:39] Speaker 3: So the COVID group, this was the last year of
[2:31:42] Speaker 3: the COVID pandemic.
[2:31:43] Speaker 2: Yeah. So now, moving forward, everybody goes north.
[2:31:47] Speaker 1: On the women's side.
[2:31:49] Speaker 3: No, for everybody.
[2:31:50] Speaker 2: No. No, your four eligibility season. Hannah Hidalgo is going
[2:31:55] Speaker 2: to the portal, though, right? She's going to the portal.
[2:31:59] Speaker 1: No, Olivia. The other girl's going. Olivia Wilde.
[2:32:01] Speaker 2: She's only a junior. One of them going to the portal.
[2:32:04] Speaker 2: Miles went to the portal.
[2:32:04] Speaker 3: No, Olivia is going to the transfer portal, yes. She
[2:32:08] Speaker 3: has her. Because it was the kids who came in.
[2:32:12] Speaker 1: She has one year.
[2:32:13] Speaker 2: She has over 21 kids.
[2:32:15] Speaker 3: Olivia, yes. I think after this year, you do not
[2:32:20] Speaker 3: get to play five seasons of college basketball anymore.
[2:32:22] Speaker 2: Wait, so doesn't she have five? We'll figure it out.
[2:32:25] Speaker 3: No, she tore her knee.
[2:32:27] Speaker 1: She tore her knee. Medical red shirt.
[2:32:28] Speaker 3: So this is not a COVID year. This is her
[2:32:31] Speaker 3: additional year because she missed a season.
[2:32:32] Speaker 2: And how about the other one? Hannah. A doggo. When
[2:32:34] Speaker 2: did she come into college?
[2:32:36] Speaker 1: Hannah's still there.
[2:32:38] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there. I think this is her second.
[2:32:40] Speaker 3: She gets back to her four.
[2:32:42] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[2:32:42] Speaker 2: She came in 2021, 2022.
[2:32:44] Speaker 3: So four.
[2:32:44] Speaker 2: 22.
[2:32:47] Speaker 3: All these players that are playing five years of college basketball,
[2:32:50] Speaker 3: that's over now.
[2:32:51] Speaker 1: It was just the 2020 class or 2021 class?
[2:32:54] Speaker 3: It was the year that got cut short.
[2:32:56] Speaker 2: The 29th. So wherever you were at then, you got
[2:32:58] Speaker 2: that extra year. So 2020 and 2021, right? Yeah.
[2:33:01] Speaker 1: So both those two years.
[2:33:02] Speaker 2: In the middle, because it was like right in the middle.
[2:33:04] Speaker 2: It got interrupted right there.
[2:33:05] Speaker 3: No, because the next season went normally.
[2:33:08] Speaker 1: So the 2019.
[2:33:09] Speaker 3: If you were in college when COVID started, you got
[2:33:12] Speaker 3: that whole year back.
[2:33:13] Speaker 2: The 2019- Yes.
[2:33:15] Speaker 3: So now, so these girls are in college five, six years,
[2:33:18] Speaker 3: but they have five years worth of stats.
[2:33:20] Speaker 1: And that started in 2021.
[2:33:21] Speaker 3: Yes.
[2:33:22] Speaker 2: It started in 2021.
[2:33:23] Speaker 3: So now it's over. So now girls are back.
[2:33:25] Speaker 2: For just four years.
[2:33:26] Speaker 1: So Paige's group is the last one.
[2:33:28] Speaker 2: Yes.
[2:33:29] Speaker 1: On the women's side. On the women's side.
[2:33:30] Speaker 2: Like I said.
[2:33:31] Speaker 6: So UConn's national championship, bittersweet. This would have been Gigi
[2:33:35] Speaker 6: Bryant's first freshman season at UConn. So Vanessa Bryant, show
[2:33:39] Speaker 6: love to UConn squad with this tribute on her IG.
[2:33:41] Speaker 1: Page after they won the chip. Let's take a look.
[2:33:44] Speaker 6: Gigi would have loved being there with you when you
[2:33:47] Speaker 6: think you can't, UConn.
[2:33:50] Speaker 2: Wow.
[2:33:51] Speaker 3: Was she definitely going to UConn?
[2:33:53] Speaker 1: I guess so.
[2:33:54] Speaker 2: Because what if she was like, I don't want to
[2:33:55] Speaker 2: go there?
[2:33:57] Speaker 6: Could have went to UCLA State local. Reggie Miller tried
[2:33:59] Speaker 6: to persuade Kobe to get in her ear. Kobe said, no,
[2:34:01] Speaker 6: I don't want to go to UConn.
[2:34:02] Speaker 3: She probably would go to one anywhere in the country.
[2:34:04] Speaker 2: USC.
[2:34:06] Speaker 1: Well, they know she wanted to go to UConn.
[2:34:07] Speaker 3: I mean, at the time, yeah, UConn was the place,
[2:34:09] Speaker 3: but times have changed. She might have wanted to win
[2:34:12] Speaker 3: somewhere else. But that was her favorite.
[2:34:15] Speaker 2: Team at the time.
[2:34:15] Speaker 6: Like I said, bittersweet moment. So good to see Vanessa
[2:34:18] Speaker 6: posting that, showing love, keeping the memory alive. And now
[2:34:21] Speaker 6: let's go to the men's side. Florida defeated Auburn in
[2:34:23] Speaker 6: the first Final Four matchup. Walter Clayton Jr. continued with
[2:34:26] Speaker 6: his impressive tournament run, boosting his draft stock, second straight
[2:34:29] Speaker 6: 30-point game. In the late game, Houston rallied to come
[2:34:32] Speaker 6: back and defeat Duke, Lexi's alma mater, overcoming a seven-point
[2:34:36] Speaker 6: deficit with a minute 25 remaining by going on an
[2:34:39] Speaker 6: 11-to-1 run in that time frame.
[2:34:42] Speaker 2: L.J.
[2:34:42] Speaker 1: Cryer led the Cougars with 26 points. He was six
[2:34:44] Speaker 1: for nine for the deep.
[2:34:45] Speaker 3: 11 points in a minute.
[2:34:46] Speaker 6: AP National Player of the Year Cooper Flagg had 27 rebounds,
[2:34:49] Speaker 6: four assists, and three blocks. Got whistled for a questionable
[2:34:52] Speaker 6: over-the-back foul with 19 seconds remaining. We don't think it
[2:34:55] Speaker 6: was a foul, right?
[2:34:55] Speaker 1: I do.
[2:34:56] Speaker 2: It was a foul. Okay. 100%.
[2:34:57] Speaker 1: Shout out, North Carolina. I want that foul if I'm
[2:35:00] Speaker 1: boxing out.
[2:35:01] Speaker 2: It's not a foul.
[2:35:02] Speaker 4: I want that foul. If I'm Cooper, I don't want
[2:35:04] Speaker 4: that foul. I think it's not a foul. Of course.
[2:35:06] Speaker 6: But that led to Houston's Jawan Roberts knocking down a
[2:35:08] Speaker 6: pair of free throws to give Houston the lead flag.
[2:35:10] Speaker 6: Had a chance to win the game with Duke trailing
[2:35:12] Speaker 6: by one. Missed his turnaround jumper.
[2:35:14] Speaker 3: So that's how they lost the foul call and they
[2:35:15] Speaker 3: got free throws?
[2:35:16] Speaker 1: No, they lost.
[2:35:17] Speaker 2: I mean, the score-wise.
[2:35:20] Speaker 1: They tricked it.
[2:35:20] Speaker 2: They tricked it.
[2:35:21] Speaker 1: It was a trickery.
[2:35:22] Speaker 2: That's the case.
[2:35:24] Speaker 6: 11-1 run, minute 25 remaining in the game. Shaw, I
[2:35:26] Speaker 6: know you were watching the game. The legend that is
[2:35:28] Speaker 6: Jim Hill.
[2:35:32] Speaker 2: On site. On site. In that unit.
[2:35:35] Speaker 1: On site. All right. All right. What was your reaction
[2:35:41] Speaker 1: to Duke's final four meltdown? It was beautiful. It was glorious.
[2:35:47] Speaker 2: Beautiful.
[2:35:50] Speaker 1: Yes, John Shire. Do yourself, man.
[2:35:54] Speaker 2: We knew you could do it. Fuck it up. Right there.
[2:35:57] Speaker 1: Coach K sitting there watching. Call a timeout.
[2:36:00] Speaker 3: Do something.
[2:36:01] Speaker 1: Hold the ball. 35 seconds.
[2:36:04] Speaker 2: Three possessions. Make them foul.
[2:36:07] Speaker 1: What are we doing, bro? Stop it. They ain't going
[2:36:11] Speaker 1: to give me the job.
[2:36:12] Speaker 3: You held the ball and didn't even score points.
[2:36:14] Speaker 1: You didn't even score. Not enough time for you.
[2:36:15] Speaker 2: You have to score. Time and score.
[2:36:17] Speaker 3: There wouldn't even be enough time for them to come back.
[2:36:19] Speaker 1: That ball was a meteorite.
[2:36:21] Speaker 2: Three possessions. We're up six. We're up six. No, what
[2:36:25] Speaker 2: I'm saying is it started three minutes. They only scored
[2:36:28] Speaker 2: three points in the last three minutes of the game.
[2:36:31] Speaker 3: Didn't they say they scored one basket in like ten
[2:36:34] Speaker 3: minutes or so?
[2:36:35] Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, no.
[2:36:37] Speaker 1: And it wasn't defense. It wasn't defense. It was scary offense.
[2:36:42] Speaker 2: Scary offense. We up, so let's pass the ball around.
[2:36:45] Speaker 1: Stop doing... Only college does that shit. We up, so
[2:36:47] Speaker 1: let's just pass the ball around. That's what Coach K did.
[2:36:50] Speaker 2: Three, five, four, three. Now you're shooting shots that you
[2:36:52] Speaker 2: wouldn't even.
[2:36:53] Speaker 4: That's what Coach K did, though. That's what their offense was.
[2:36:56] Speaker 4: They're up five, six points.
[2:36:58] Speaker 1: Hold it.
[2:36:59] Speaker 4: And we run our little sequence offense where we know
[2:37:01] Speaker 4: JJ is going to come in. We're going to duck
[2:37:03] Speaker 4: in with Boozer. We knew what we was going to do,
[2:37:06] Speaker 4: but they literally didn't do that at all.
[2:37:08] Speaker 2: It was weird. It's like you got up by like
[2:37:11] Speaker 2: 15 doing something. Then you say, all right, fuck all that.
[2:37:14] Speaker 2: Let's just play safe basketball. Why the other team?
[2:37:17] Speaker 3: We still have like a whole debate about that. I
[2:37:20] Speaker 3: wasn't here for that. I was watching it. When you're
[2:37:22] Speaker 3: talking about why the teams when you're up 20, they
[2:37:23] Speaker 3: have to chill, but the team can still try and
[2:37:25] Speaker 3: come back.
[2:37:26] Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's a sportsman like. The sportsman, yeah.
[2:37:30] Speaker 1: Said, we haven't been in a lot of those games.
[2:37:32] Speaker 6: We watch a lot of game situations in practice, and
[2:37:34] Speaker 6: that's where I wish I could have helped them more.
[2:37:36] Speaker 2: Excuse me? They hadn't been in a lot of those
[2:37:38] Speaker 2: games this year.
[2:37:39] Speaker 3: I wish I could have done my job better.
[2:37:42] Speaker 1: We've seen it on TV.
[2:37:44] Speaker 2: Have you been in those type of situations before? Yes.
[2:37:47] Speaker 3: He's taking accountability? Because that is coaching right there. That's coaching,
[2:37:54] Speaker 3: isn't it?
[2:37:54] Speaker 2: Whoa.
[2:37:55] Speaker 1: You didn't practice the scenario?
[2:37:58] Speaker 2: At all? But they watched the game situation.
[2:38:01] Speaker 1: They practiced it. They watched them, but they didn't practice.
[2:38:06] Speaker 1: We watched a lot of game situations and practiced. Who
[2:38:08] Speaker 1: doesn't practice the last two-minute drill? George Carl.
